“I wish I wasn’t,” He groaned. “I’ve had to put up with everybody’s curiosity since I got here, not to mention she won’t even talk to me.”
“You’re better off without her,” Melanie patted him on the back. “Can you guess who was on the phone?”
“You still haven’t answered my question,” Dominic raised his tone, slightly. Melanie’s eyes glinted with amusement, her lips curling into a sly smile, as she leaned over him.
“Say ‘hi’ to her for me,” she whispered in his ear. “I need to get back inside.”
Puzzled by her words, he cast a few glances around him, as Melanie brushed past him. A young couple was approaching, but he had never seen them before. Dominic started forward and into the parking lot, wondering who she had been referring to. Still, there was no one else around. At first, he thought about following her inside the restaurant; yet, he quickly rejected that notion. By then, Linda would be in the middle of her speech and listening to her boast about herself would at least upset him.
All the same, as Dominic crossed the parking lot, the bright moonlight brought back the memory of his first date with Rachel. In an instant, he visualized her, talking to him as she gazed at the view of the glacier.
“Where are you, Rachel?” He thought to himself, reaching the parking lot entrance. “You know the answer, Dominic. She’s far away from here, taking care of her sister’s baby.”
Dominic was still thinking about their date, when the headlights of a car lit up the road to the left. Soon afterwards, a taxi emerged. Preferring to stay away from any strangers, he turned around, as the car rolled to a halt. Dominic’s slow, heavy footsteps led him away from the parking lot entrance, as a gentle breeze blew through his hair. Two taxi doors were opened and shut, as his ears picked up an unknown, male voice and a familiar, female one. It was rather faint, but it was enough to force him to stop.
“Dominic?” The voice was much louder and clearer this time. He slowly turned around, his pulse rising, as the cab driver eased her suitcase down on the ground. It was Rachel.
“Rachel?” He whispered, swallowing hard. “What are you doing here?”
She did not open her mouth. Instead, Rachel started towards him, her gaze locked on his face, as he felt his heart thumping in his chest. But, as she took her last step towards him, Dominic realized that she was in no condition to speak. Her lips were trembling; tears had pooled in her eyes.
“What is it?” His baritone was riddled with tension and fear. “What’s wrong?”
Once again, she didn’t dignify his question with an answer. Rachel lifted her hands to his face. His heart fluttered, as he felt her featherlike touch.
“Marianne…” Her voice was thick with emotion, as a tear toppled over the edge of her eye. “She woke up, six weeks ago.”
Her short sentence made his heart leap with joy, as a blissful smile spread across his face. Dominic knew very well what that meant. He was not going to ask any details. This was not the time for words. Reaching down, he put his hands on her sides. In a split second, her feet left the ground, as he lifted her upwards. Rachel’s body crashed against his, their lips locking in a long, demanding kiss, as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He felt her hot breath and her tears on his skin, as the powerful wind whipped her hair against his neck. Dominic let go of her right hip, just before weaving his hand into her hair. His fingers became tangled in her silky strands, his heart beating faster and louder than ever before, as she ran her fingertips over his beard. Stroking the back of her head, he felt tears filling his eyes, as she circled her right arm around his neck. His lips moved across her cheek, before he planted a quick kiss on her skin. Rachel tilted her head down and rested it on his shoulder, as he held her tightly in his arms.
“I love you, little bird,” He said, his voice a soft, almost inaudible whisper, as a tear streamed down his face. “God, I love you so much.”
“I love you, too, my king,” She whispered, tightening her grip on his cheek. “I missed you where I’ve been.”
“Now, you’re back to love me again,” Dominic spoke, a blissful smile on his face as he leaned back. “You remember our song.”
“How can I forget?” Rachel breathed, pressing her forehead against his. “We danced to it on our night in Paris. The best night of my life.”
“Tell me more about Marianne,” He urged, kissing her on the chin. “I want to know everything.”
“It was a miracle,” She heaved a long, deep sigh. “I was starting to lose hope, when, one day, she just opened her eyes. It took her a while to recover, too. The doctors said her age was a major factor. Then, I had to teach her everything I knew about raising the baby, make sure she adjusted to her new life. That’s why it took me so long to get here.”
“You said she had a crush on me in your letter. How did she take our relationship?” Dominic waited for her answer with bated breath.
“Very well, actually,” Rachel smiled. “She said it was just physical.”
“Phew,” He breathed a sigh of relief.
“I was worried about that, too,” she admitted. “What about you? How have you been?”
“Let’s go home, little bird,” Dominic said in a sweet voice. “I’ll tell you more on our way there.”

Much to Dominic’s approval, Rachel did not insist on finding out more about what he had been up to all that time. As soon as they entered his Lamborghini, she put her head on his shoulder and did not speak at all throughout their short drive back to his castle. He would have no problem telling her, but his narrative would be rather short. In truth, Dominic had been too sad to do anything else, other than reminisce about her. However, he had one more reason to remain silent: they had spent too much time apart. Having missed the closeness, he savored every second of it. Should he attempt to speak, he would ruin the moment.
Rachel only looked up at him, when the car rolled into his garage. The love in her eyes made him feel warm inside, as she tilted her head up.
“I’ll be waiting for you in my room,” She whispered in his ear. Dominic smiled to himself, as she got out of the Lamborghini. Her haste reminded him of their first night together.
“I guess some things never change.”
Overflowing with a feeling of joy, he left his garage behind him, at the same time wondering what she had in mind. He could suspect, but, whatever it was did not really matter. Rachel was back in his life; everything else felt trivial. Dominic couldn’t wait to touch her; yet, he lazily climbed up the stairs, his ears picking up the sound of a lighter flickering, as he reached the top landing. A pale light lit up the corridor, as he turned left. He could feel his blood pumping in his veins, as the open door came closer and closer. The sight that greeted him sent his adrenaline into the ozone layer, as he stopped under the doorframe. Rachel had placed four candles in each corner of the room. She was standing in front of the bed, naked, hands on her hips, with a sexy smile on her beautiful face. The candlelight reflected off her pale skin, as she took two, confident steps towards him.
“It’s too bad it’s not raining tonight,” Rachel said, her voice husky. “I was hoping to relive our first night together.”
“I don’t think you could,” Dominic spoke, his voice deep as he gazed deep into her eyes. She wrapped her fingers around his wrists, her firm grip making his manhood throb in his pants, as she pulled him closer. Rachel started backwards, as he scanned her body, from top to bottom. Releasing him, she tumbled into bed and moved her long shapely legs apart, licking her upper lip.
“Hotter than sin,” Dominic said, his voice overflowing with unbridled lust, as he unbuttoned his shirt. He peeled it off and threw it across the floor. Before he could lie on top of her though, Rachel noticed the tattoo on his left wrist.
“R.B.?” She whispered, as he raised his other arm at chest height, palm outward. “A bird?”
“I wanted to carry you everywhere, little bird,” He confessed, leaning over her.
“Kiss me,�
�� She urged, her feathery voice dripping with anticipation, as she reached her arms towards him. Dominic lay on top of her, as she snaked them around his neck. Angling his lips, he pressed his mouth against hers, the magic of her fiery kiss overwhelming his senses. The sensation of her knees in his hands sent waves of desire and excitement through him, as Rachel flexed her muscles around him. Her captivating grip forced a small groan out of him, as his hands slowly travelled up her upper outer thighs. Wrapping her legs around his hips, she gently bit his lower lip, as he stroked her skin. Dominic squeezed her flesh, feeling his manhood getting harder by the second. Rachel loosened her constricting grip, before sliding her hands down his massive back.
“All over,” She gasped, tilting her head back. “Kiss me all over.”
“Gladly…” He said, his voice deep, as he moved his lips to kiss along her jawline. He let her scent flow through him, as she grabbed and held onto his shoulder blades. Reaching down, Dominic unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, her soft sighs audible over his quick kisses. Kissing his way down the left side of her neck, he hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his pants, as she dragged her fingers up his back. Rachel’s hand slipped up and into his hair, as he pulled his clothing down. A lustful moan left her lips, as she felt Dominic’s big, stiff cock on her crotch. A small drop of precum leaked out of the tiny hole on the head, as his mouth reached her chest. Reaching forward, he cupped her breasts in both of his hands, as she threaded her fingers through his hair. Her long sigh of arousal turned him on even more, as he pressed them together. Dominic buried his face between her breasts, his breath getting heavier, as she pressed his head onto her. Moving his mouth across her chest, he squeezed them first and then rolled her nipples with his thumb and index fingers.
“God, those lips…” Rachel whimpered, squeezing her eyes shut, the fine hairs of his beard brushing against her skin, as he took her breast into his mouth. Sucking on it, he lightly pinched her other nipple, as she grabbed a fistful of his hair. Her legs twitched, as he used his hot, wet tongue to lick the areola, loving how it went from smooth to wrinkled. Dominic flicked it over her nipple, feeling its hardness on the tip, as he pushed both of her breasts upward. Trapping it between his teeth, he bit it gently, causing her body to buck hard against him. A louder grunt escaped him, as he felt her moisture on his balls. Rachel stroked his shoulder blade, running her tongue across her lips, as he licked her swollen nipple. Dominic slid his hands down her sides, savoring the sensation of her smooth skin on his mouth, as he nibbled his way down her chest.
She put her legs back down on the bed, her lustful sighs filling his ears, as he stroked her flesh. A big smile formed on her face, as he dipped his tongue in her bellybutton. He opened his eyes and looked up at her, the sweet scent of her pussy juices adding to his arousal, as she leaned against her shoulders. Not wasting any more time, Dominic wrapped his arms around her thighs and eagerly pulled her to him. Closing his eyes, he slid his tongue down her stomach, feeling more and more precum dripping down his rock-hard shaft.
“Oh, my God!” Rachel moaned while throwing her head back, as his lips closed around her hard, swollen clit. Stroking her inner thighs, he pulled it into his mouth, her moisture on his chin driving him crazy with lust. She reached forward and drove her hand into his hair, as her lustful moans filled the room. Dominic flicked his dexterous tongue across her clit, letting go of her left thigh, as she bit her lower lip. Nipping at her sensitive nub, he put his fingers at her entrance, as she gripped his hair. Her juices soaked his fingertips, as he spread her pussy lips. Eager to taste them, he ran his tongue down, as Rachel grabbed more fistfuls of his hair. Moving his hand up, he slid his middle finger over her clit. Dominic rubbed slow circles around her clit, savoring the taste of her juices in his mouth.
“I’m coming, baby!” She moaned, as he pushed his tongue deep inside her pussy. Her words forced him to quicken the pace of his rubbing, as more and more of her warm juices flowed down his tongue. By now, Rachel was bucking wildly up against him, her groans echoing in the room and the hallway outside, as her orgasm came closer and closer. Within seconds, her body convulsed, as a powerful, earth-shattering climax crashed into her, stealing her breath. Dominic slowly pulled his drenched tongue out of her, opening his eyes, as she let go of his hair. Rachel lay in bed, gasping, but with a blissful smile on her face.
“Oh, God,” She whimpered, as he kissed his way up her stomach. “That felt so good.”
“I hope you’re ready for more,” He said, his voice raspy as he leaned over her once more.
“I am,” Rachel’s eyes twinkled with mischief, as she put her arms around his back. Pushing him to the right, she rolled them over. She sat up and reached behind her back, looking down into his eyes, as she gripped his large, throbbing cock. Her long, gentle strokes aroused him. Unable to resist the temptation of worshipping her breasts some more, he tilted his head up, as his precum filled her hand.
“You dirty boy…” she moaned, as his lips landed on her right breast. Rachel placed his manhood at her entrance, as he kissed her nipple. She bent her head towards him, closing her eyes, as Dominic licked her entire nipple in a circular motion. A long, lustful moan left her lips, as his cock pushed through the moist folds of her womanhood. He took his lips off of her breast, feeling his shaft going deeper and deeper, as Rachel pressed her mouth against his. Dominic put his hands on her hips, relishing in her passionate kiss, as her hair brushed against his cheeks and his chest.
“God, I’ve missed you so much,” Rachel whispered in his mouth. “Give it to me, baby.”
Of course, he needed no encouragement. Smoothing his hands down her body, he stopped them at her ass. Dominic cupped it first and then squeezed, savoring the sensation, as he began to rock into her. He spread her butt cheeks, as Rachel’s hands landed on his shoulders. She sank her fingernails into his flesh, her muffled moans sending him one step closer to heaven, as he grabbed and held onto her ass. Dragging her fingers down his chest, she tilted her head back, exposing her breasts. Dominic’s initial thought was to kiss them once again, but, this time, he did no such thing. He opened his eyes, just before he slapped her ass cheeks to the point of pleasure. Rachel’s sexy moan served as his reward. Quickening his pace, he watched, as her big, luscious breasts swayed back and forth. Their gazes met, as she tilted her head down. The lust written all over her face made him bite his lower lip, as the sound of his balls, slapping up against her filled the air.
“You’re so hard…” Rachel groaned, stroking his chest. “Don’t stop, baby.”
Dominic ran his hand up her body and pulled her down onto him, filling her up, as a small drop of sweat streamed down her chest. Taking her left breast into his mouth, he slid his hand down her back. He sucked on it, her moans audible over his, as he filled his hand with the luscious flesh of her ass cheek. Digging his fingernails into her skin, he pushed his cock in and out of her even faster, making her other breast bounce up and down. His orgasm was building up quickly within him. The feel of her hot, sticky juices all over his shaft sent waves of pleasure, coursing through his body. Rachel reached forward and cupped his cheeks, as he quenched her desire. She even tightened her grip, as he flicked his tongue up and down her nipple.
“Right there!” She groaned, as Dominic kneaded her ass. “I’m going to come again!”
Unable to continue his worship on her breast, he released it and opened his eyes to slits. Her lips were quivering, as his deep, hard thrusts sent her into pure ecstasy. Holding onto her wobbling butt cheeks, he felt the heat inside her pussy increase. In a matter of seconds, her entire body quaked, as her second orgasm that night shot through her. Rachel collapsed onto Dominic, struggling to catch her breath, as more of her juices drenched his manhood. With a few, deep thrusts, he reached his own fulfillment. He pulled out and he didn’t even have to jerk his cock. His loud grunts filled and resounded in the room, as three, thick streams of semen landed on her lower back and the sheets. Dominic eased his grip on her and
rolled over onto his left side, panting for breath.
“Two tattoos?” She gasped, smiling at the same time, as she caressed his forearm. “For me?”
“It’s just some ink,” He laughed. “It’s not a big deal.”
“I love it,” Rachel purred like a contented cat. “I think it’s kind of hot.”
“Hot?” Dominic smirked.
“Yeah,” She chirped. “God, I’m exhausted.”
“Get some sleep,” He whispered, reaching towards her face. Rachel gave him one last, loving look, before closing her eyes. The flickering candlelight danced across her face, illuminating her high cheekbones, as he tucked tendrils of her hair behind her ear. Her peaceful look made his heart flutter, as he ran his thumb across her temple.
Priceless… I could stare at you all night, Rachel. So beautiful, so blissful… Welcome back into my life, little bird.

The next morning, Dominic woke up with a broad smile on his face. Rachel was still fast asleep beside him, strands of hair wrapped around her cheek, as she lay on her chest.
“Perfect,” He thought to himself. Sneaking out of bed, he tiptoed towards the door, looking down at her over his right shoulder the entire time.
Great, she didn’t wake up. Don’t open your eyes just yet, darling. Just wait for a few more minutes. Trust me, it’s worth it. Damn it… I’m so anxious that my legs are starting to shake. I shouldn’t be, though. Rachel came back for me. Should I wait until tonight? It could be more romantic that way. I’ll have more time to prepare for it, too. Nah, stop thinking like that, Dominic. Place, time or the words that you’ll say don’t really matter. She makes you happier than you ever thought you could be. That’s the only thing that matters.
Rachel was still sleeping, as he returned to the bedroom. Dominic felt his heart racing, as he lifted the covers. Lying on his left side, he pulled the blankets up, staring down at her face. Her intoxicating scent filled his nostrils, as he tilted his head down. He closed his eyes and laid a soft kiss on her lips, eager to hear her voice.
