Chapter 35 THE AGREEMENT
Ava's POV
I stood at Dominic's door trying to find the words. My hands were shaking and I felt sick already.
"Come in," he said, stepping aside.
I walked past him into the room and he closed the door and turned to face me.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"I need to tell you something. And you're going to be angry." I said not looking directly at his face.
"Just say it, Ava." He said and I took a deep breath. "I was with Adrian. In the sauna. He touched me and I let him." I said and Dominic was quiet for a long moment, his jaw clenched but he didn't yell like I expected.
"Touched you how?" His voice was calm, too calm and that really worried me.
"He fingered me. I came. That's all that happened." I explained.
"That's all?" He laughed but it wasn't a happy sound.
"You let another man make you come and you're saying that's all?"
"You almost fucked Isabella. How is what I did worse?" I asked.
"I stopped. Did you stop Adrian?" He answered my question with another question and I knew he had a point.
"No. I wanted it. I wanted to feel good and he made me feel good." I siad and he paced the room, his hands in his hair. I waited for him to explode but he just kept pacing.
"Why?" he finally asked.
"Because I'm tired. I'm tired of only being with you when you've been with hundreds of women. I'm tired of feeling jealous every time another woman looks at you. I wanted to know what else was out there." I explained even though I knew how foolish the whole idea felt.
"So you fucked my driver." He said, obvious not a question.
"I didn't fuck him. And he's not just your driver. He's a person who actually paid attention to me."I replied.
"I pay attention to you."
"When it's convenient. When Isabella isn't around or when you're not busy with work or when you're not thinking about Victoria." I replied and he stopped pacing and looked at me.
"You're right," he said quietly and I was surprised because I wasn't expecting that.
"What?"
"You're right. I have been with a lot of women. And I do get distracted. And maybe it's not fair that I expect you to only want me when I've never only wanted one person in my life." He went further.
"So what are we saying?"
He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I don't know. What do you want?"
"I want you. But I also want to not feel guilty every time I find someone else attractive. I want to explore without feeling like I'm betraying you." I explained
"You want an open relationship."
"Maybe. I don't know. Do you?"
He was quiet again. Then he said,
"I almost fucked Isabella today. And part of me still wants to. Not because I don't love you. But because she's there and she's hot and I'm used to getting what I want."
"So we're both terrible people." I said and he smiled.
"Or we're both honest." He reached for my hand. "What if we tried it? Being open. Exploring. Together and separately."
"You'd be okay with me sleeping with other people?" I asked blankly
"I don't know. But I'd rather know about it than have you sneak around. And I'd rather try this than lose you." He said and pulled me onto his lap and kissed me hard. His hands were already pulling at my clothes.
We showered together and he washed my hair gently after which we went to have imsinner.
At dinner, everyone was already eating. We sat with Marcus and Tom and Sarah. Isabella was at another table glaring at us.
"Everything okay with you two?" Marcus asked, looking between us.
"Better than okay," Dominic said, squeezing my hand under the table.
The food was good and the wine kept coming. I felt lighter than I had in days. Under the table, Dominic's hand moved to my thigh and he squeezed gently.
"What are you doing?" I whispered.
"Nothing," he said, but his hand moved higher.
"We're at dinner." I said.
"I know. Makes it more fun." He replied as his fingers slipped under my dress and I tried to keep my face normal. Marcus was talking about something but I couldn't focus.
Dominic's fingers found my panties and pushed them aside. He touched my clit gently, and teasing.
"You're wet," he whispered in my ear.
"Because you won't stop touching me." I said
"Want me to stop?" He asked.
"No."
He pushed one finger inside me and I had to bite my lip. Sarah was asking me something but I couldn't hear her over the blood rushing in my ears.
"Ava? You okay?" she asked.
"Fine. Just hot in here."
Dominic added another finger and I grabbed his thigh hard. He was pumping them slowly, his thumb on my clit.
"I need to use the bathroom," I said suddenly, standing up.
"I'll come with you," Dominic said, standing too.
We walked fast to the bathroom and it was a single room with a lock. As soon as we were inside he pushed me against the sink.
"I can't wait," he said, already pulling down my panties.
"Then don't."
He turned me around so I was facing the mirror. He pulled up my dress and pushed inside from behind.
"Watch," he said. "Watch me fuck you."
I looked in the mirror and saw his face twisted in pleasure.
"Harder," I said.
He grabbed my hips and pounded into me and the sink was shaking and I had to hold on tight.
I reached down and found my clit and the mixture of it all was just perfect.
"I'm close," I moaned.
"Me too. Come with me."
We came together and I had to cover my mouth to keep from screaming. He collapsed against my back, both of us breathing hard.
"We should get back," I said.
"In a minute." I siad but we stayed like that for a while. Then we heard voices outside, it was that of women laughing.
"Someone's coming," I whispered.
We fixed our clothes fast. I tried to make my hair look normal but it was obvious what we'd been doing.
He opened the door and we walked out but he walked ight into Isabella.
She looked at us and smiled.
"Having fun?"
"What do you want, Isabella?" Dominic asked.
"Nothing. Just needed to use the bathroom." She looked at me.
"Unless you two weren't done in there?"
My face got hot but then I thought about our new agreement.
"Actually," I said before I could stop myself. "Maybe you want to join us?"
Dominic's head snapped toward me.
"Ava, what are you doing?"
"What? We agreed to explore. And I'm curious." I looked at Isabella.
"Aren't you curious?"
Isabella's eyes went wide and then she smiled slowly.
"Very" she replied.
Dominic had pretended like he wasn't fine with the whole idea but he was actually the one that drove us home.
At Dominic's villa, we stood in the living room for a minute and nobody knew what to do first.
"So how does this work?" Isabella asked.
"However we want it to work," I said.
I walked over to her and kissed her. It was weird at first because her lips was softer than kissing a man. Her lips were so fuller and she tasted like wine.
She kissed me back and her hands went to my waist. Behind me, I felt Dominic press against my back.
"This is really happening," he said.
"Yeah," I said. "It really is."
Isabella pulled back and looked at him. "Your turn."
He kissed her while his hands stayed on me. I watched them kiss and felt something twist in my stomach. Jealousy but also arousal.
"Living room or bedroom?" Isabella asked.
"Both," Dominic said. "Everywhere."
We started in the living room and the clothes came off fast. Isabella's body was even better naked. Perfect breasts, flat stomach, and round hips.
Dominic's hands were on both of us. I kissed Isabella again while he touched me from behind.
"On the couch," he said. "Both of you."
We sat on the couch and he knelt in front of us. His mouth found Isabella first. She moaned and grabbed his hair.
I watched him eat her out and felt my own need building. Then his hand found me and he pushed two fingers inside.
"Don't forget about me," I said.
He pulled back from Isabella and moved to me and he knew exactly what I liked.
Isabella watched and touched herself.
"Can I taste her?"
Dominic moved aside and Isabella's mouth replaced his.
"That feels good," I told her.
Dominic moved behind her and I heard the sound of him pushing inside. She moaned against me and the vibration made me gasp.
"This is insane," I said.
"Good insane?" Dominic asked, fucking Isabella from behind.
"Best insane."
Isabella made me come with her mouth and then Dominic pulled out of her and pushed into me instead. I was sensitive but it felt too good to stop.
"My turn," Isabella said, lying back on the couch.
Dominic moved between her legs and I watched him push inside her. She was loud,actually louder than me and her whole body moved with each thrust.
I moved to her face and she pulled me down onto her mouth. Her tongue worked me while Dominic fucked her and I thought I might die from how good everything felt.
We moved to the bedroom next and by the time we collapsed on the bed, the sun was starting to come up. We were all sweaty and exhausted and satisfied.
"That was incredible," Isabella said.
"Yeah," I agreed.
Dominic pulled both of us close. "Best idea you ever had."
I laughed. "I have my moments."
We fell asleep like that. All three of us together. And for the first time in weeks, I didn't feel anxious or jealous or scared.
I just felt free.
