whatâre you gonna do today?â
Brandon sighed heavily. âI donât know. I havenât thought about it. What about you?â
âI donât know. Iâll probably justââ Suddenly she screamed.
âWhat is it?â Brandon asked in alarm. âWhatâs wrong?â
Tamia froze in her tracks, staring into the living room.
There, reclining on her sofa with his feet propped up on the coffee table, was Dominic.
Jolted awake by her scream, he opened his eyes and regarded her in groggy confusion.
âTamia?â Brandon prompted. âWhat happened?â
âI-I thought I saw a mouse,â she stammered.
âA mouse?â
âUh-huh.â
Tamia and Dominic stared at each other.
Before he could utter a word, Tamia rushed over to the sofa, jumped onto his lap, and clapped a hand over his mouth.
Shut up! she silently warned.
A wicked gleam filled his eyes.
âAs much as they charge for rent in that building,â Brandon joked, âyouâd better not have any damn mice.â
Tamia forced a laugh. âI know, right?â
âSeriously though. Are you okay?â
âIâm fine,â she quickly assured him. âI just hate rodents.â
As Dominicâs eyes glimmered with laughter, Tamia glared at him. Dark stubble covered his jaw, and he wore a white wifebeater over his suit pants. Black tribal tattoos wove down his thick, muscular biceps. Her mind flashed on a memory of her tongue tracing the intricate pattern as she slowly rode his dick.
As if heâd read her mind, Dominicâs lips curved into a smile beneath her hand. The damp heat of his breath against her skin sent shivers down her spine. She watched as his heavy-lidded eyes lowered to her large breasts bulging from her skimpy lace bra. Feeling his dick harden between her thighs, she scowled and yanked her robe closed.
When she moved to climb off Dominic, his strong hands gripped her waist, holding her in place. She hated the way her pussy throbbed against his erection.
Will I ever be immune to this crazy motherfucker?
âBrandonââher voice was shaky as hellââlet me call you back.â
He hesitated for a long moment. âWe can talk some other time.â
Her heart sank like an anvil, because she knew that he was telling her good-bye. âUm . . . okay,â she mumbled, blinking back tears. âEnjoy your weekend.â
âYou too, Tamia,â Brandon said quietly. âTake care.â
As soon as the call ended, Tamia slapped Dominic across the face and screamed, â What the fuck are you doing in my apartment? â
He stared at her like sheâd lost her mind. âWhat the hell are you talking about? You invited me here!â
âWHAT? I did not!â
âYes, you did.â
âStop lying, muthafucka!â Tamia shrieked, scrambling off his lap. âWhy the hell would I invite you into my apartment when I didnât even want to have dinner with you?â
He shook his head slowly at her. âYou donât remember, do you?â
Tamia stilled, her eyes narrowing on his face. âRemember what?â
Dominic frowned, lowering his feet to the floor. âWhen you left the restaurant last night, I was worried about you because you looked like you didnât feel well. So I followed you outside to the parking lot. When I saw you sitting in the car with your head on the steering wheel, I tapped on the window and asked if you were okay. You said you were, but I didnât believe you. So I offered to follow you home to make sure you arrived safely. When we got here, you invited me up for a drink.â He pointed to the table.
For the first time, Tamia noticed the empty bottle of wine and two glasses, one bearing red lipstick on the rim.
She eyed Dominic suspiciously. âI donât remember any of that.â
âIâm not surprised,â he said wryly. âYou had a lot to drink. You
