~ Excerpt ~
"Are you sure you don't want to press charges,
sweetie?"
I shook my head and scrubbed my face with my good hand while the
female Garda asked Dominic the same question for the fifth time. She was young,
twenty-five at the most and was smiling and nodding her head at him every time
he spoke, then cooing over him like a new nurse was when he winced over the
needle digging into him while she stitched the cut under his eye that Branna's
ring caused when she socked him one.
"He already told you he doesn't want to press charges against
me sister, why are you being so
repetitive?" I asked the Garda, the snarl in my voice not going amiss.
The Garda snapped her gaze to me and glared. "It is me job to
ask the victim of attacks these types of questions more than once to make sure
they are solid on their decision."
Yeah, sure it was.
I scoffed and asked, "Is it also your job to flirt with said
victim while his girlfriend is sat
right next to him?"
The Garda had the decency to flush while the nurse stitching up
Dominic's under eye went deathly quiet and stopped her cooing over him when he
made noises of pain.
"Listen here, I was not flirtin'-"
"Yeah, you were, but you might as well give it up; he isn't
interested in you. Right?" When I looked to Dominic, I found him already
watching me, which made my insides jump a little because his gaze was dark, and
it was entirely focused on me.
"Right." He grinned just as the nurse finished up his
stitches and moved away from him but only by a couple of inches.
I nodded to him then looked back to the Garda. "See?"
The Garda was about to go off on one at me, but she stopped and
gawked as Dominic cleared his throat then stretched his arms over his head,
which caused his biceps, triceps and all his other ‘ceps to flex and contract.
He was barechested because Branna ripped his top when she 'attacked' him, and
he had to throw it in the bin. I wasn't bothered by this, because he had such a
sexy torso that I enjoyed getting the chance to admire it with my eyes.
Only my eyes weren't the sole pair doing the admiring and for the
first time ever, I felt extremely jealous and extremely possessive of him.
That's why I was pissy with the Garda and nurse; they openly raked their eyes
over his body and shamelessly flirted with him while I sat right next to him.
They mistakenly took me for his sister at one stage, which was fucked up,
Dominic was smoking hot but he wasn't a damn God, I was not unworthy of
possibly being his girlfriend no matter what anyone thought. He had flaws that
his looks didn’t cover, and I had
been the one turning him down for the past few weeks, so clearly it's not as
far-fetched of an idea as these women thought it was.
"Your tattoo is gorgeous," the nurse’s voice said
breaking me from my thoughts.
The Garda nodded her head in agreement.
I had a feeling I was about to be arrested for slapping both these
fools upside the head if they didn't quit while they were ahead.
"Thanks ladies, my girlfriend
agrees with you both." Dominic smiled and put his left arm around my
waist.
Both the women openly frowned at his gesture, and it made me roll
my eyes. They looked like they were given a puppy only for it to be taken away
again.
"Is he finished here?" I asked the Garda and the nurse.
They both nodded even though I could tell they didn't want to.
"So can we leave then?" I asked, my tone completely
snotty.
The Garda cut her eyes to me. "Do you have a problem-"
"Yeah, she does," Dominic cut the Garda off and smiled
to her. "She sprained her hand a few hours ago and hasn't had any
painkillers yet. We're collecting them from the 24 hour chemist on our way home
as soon as I'm done here."
The Garda smiled to Dominic again, and I inwardly cursed her. She
was clearly crap at her job if it all it took was a good-looking lad to
distract her.
"I'll discharge you now," the nurse beamed to Dominic.
I rolled my eyes wishing the nurse who wrapped up my hand earlier
was here instead. She was cool and not perverted like this young nurse.
"I'm done here, too, unless you do want to press charges. We
can take this down to the station if you do."
I fucking bet she would just love to take him somewhere she had
easy access to handcuffs!
"No thank you, I'm set on my decision." Dominic smiled
again.
The Garda nodded, said goodbye, then left the room.
I fumed quietly for a few moments until I felt his eyes staring at
me.
"What?" I mumbled without looking at him.
"You’re so fucking sexy," he growled and leaned into me,
latching his lips onto my neck and sucking.
My body jerked as I jumped up away from him.
"Stop that, anyone could walk in here!" I scowled.
He only grinned at me. "Like I care, you being jealous and
possessive of me has me hard as diamond. I fucking love this side of you."
Hard as diamond?
Oh, God!
"Dominic," I gasped as I felt the blood rush up my neck
to my cheeks.
He laughed at me. "You're going from sexy as fuck to adorable
as hell. You're killing me
here!"
I glared at him. "I'm about to kill you if you don't cut this
out, I don't like it."
"Why are you crossing your legs then?" he asked me,
grinning.
I looked down at myself and inwardly scowled. I was crossing my
legs, and it was only then that I noticed the aching pain between my legs. I
absentmindedly closed my legs to try and ease the ache and Dominic noticed.
"Shut up!"
He smiled at me. "If you come over to me, I'll take that ache
away and turn it into immense pleasure."
I felt my core throb; the ache was hurting me so bad like it
needed to be rubbed away. I squeezed my thighs tighter together, and it made
Dominic lick his lips.
"I bet you're wet for me; I can practically feel how hot you
are for me from all the way over here," he purred.
I closed my eyes and tried to ignore him and the throbbing.
"Come over to me, baby," he purred again.
I could feel my legs move before my brain registered anything; I opened
my eyes when my knees knocked against Dominic's. He was grinning at me as he
leaned his head down and brushed his nose off mine.
"What are you feeling right now? Tell me, pretty girl."
My breathing got a little heavier as I opened my mouth and said,
"I feel hot...and achy."
Dominic nodded like he understood exactly how I was feeling.
"Is it a teasing ache?" he whispered, brushing his lips
over mine.
I nodded. "Uh huh."
Dominic sucked my bottom lip into his bottom for a moment, then
released it. "Your body knows what it wants and the more you hold back,
the more that pretty little clit of yours pulses away as it demands my
attention. It wants just my
attention, right?"
I felt my knees buckle a little, so I used my good hand to latch
onto Dominic's bare shoulder. I squeezed it when his hands came around my waist
then drifted south and gripped my behind.
"Why are you doin' this to me? I'll kill you for this when
I'm thinkin' clearly," I groaned and kissed him when he slapped my left
arse cheek.
He kissed me hard and deep as he slid his right hand around to the
front of my jeans and flicked his fingers over the front, unbuttoning and
unzipping them within seconds.
"Dominic, please," I breathed against his mouth.
I wasn't sure if I was asking him not to touch me or begging him to
touch, my mind was beyond dazed right now.
"Just relax baby and let me take care of you," he
whispered as he dipped his hand down into the front of my knickers.
I gasped when his finger slid in-between my smooth, wet folds
followed by his thumb that brushed over the tiny bundle of nerves that were
causing me such aching pains.
"Bronagh, baby, you're fucking soaked," Dominic groaned
as he caught my mouth it a kiss.
I couldn't kiss him back properly at all because when his thumb
began a lazy pace of rotation around my swollen clit it caused me to go
cross-eyed.
"Oh, God," I breathed against Dominic’s mouth.
He watched my face like what I was feeling somehow projected onto
my facial expressions.
“Eyes on me,” he ordered.
The throbbing intensified with his demands and the need to have
him touch me all over was becoming unbearable.
“Yes, yes! Don’t stop,” I pleaded and forced my eyes to stay on
his.
"Does that feel good, pretty girl?" he whispered,
rotating his thumb faster.
My hips bucked, and he smiled. "I'll take that as a yes, open
your legs a little wider for me."
I shamelessly did as he asked and moaned a little out loud when
his slid his finger down my folds and carefully dipped inside of me.
"That's a tight fit for just one finger babe, I can't wait to
feel you wrapped around my cock. You're going to be the undoing of me, pretty
girl, I know it."
After a few pumps of his fingers in and out of me, he moved back
to my clit and rotated with a faster pace than before, and it had me making
noises I didn't know I could make.
"Oh God," I gasped when I felt like my body was about to
light on fire. "Okay, you can stop n-now Dominic it's gettin' too much I
c-can't-"
"You're about to come baby, that's all that is. Let me make
you come, pretty girl," Dominic spoke over me and took my mouth in his
when I began to moan out loud.
He held his free hand tightly around me and when I tried to pull
away from him, he gripped me even harder.
It was too much, I couldn't take the sensation Dominic was causing
and I was about to scream for him to stop when dots suddenly spotted my vision
and my body went limp as a hot tingling sensation attacked my body in waves,
making me jerk and buck in his arms.
After a minute or two I blinked my eyes open when sound and vision
returned to me and I was met with Dominic's face that was sporting a
shit-eating grin.
"You look so fucking hot when you come, pretty girl," he
said and he slowly removed his hands from my underwear and lifted them to his
mouth where he licked and sucked them cleaned. "Hmm, you taste even
better."
That was the moment that I chose to feel mortified. He..he just
tasted me on his fingers, the fingers that were inside me.
Oh my God, what did I just do?
"Oh, Jesus," I breathed and looked down making Dominic
lightly chuckle.
"Don't do it, Bronagh. Don't be embarrassed about what just
happened. It was fucking beautiful and I won't let you play it off as anything
but, do you understand me?"
I couldn't speak to him, I couldn't even look at him, and so he
lifted my head by my chin until my gaze found his.
"Understand me?" he repeated.
I groaned. "I can't not
be embarrassed! You...you just did that to me and then you...you-"
"Licked your come off my fingers? Yeah, I did, so what? It
tasted great and I'm already looking forward to seconds."
Oh, my fucking God!
"Dominic! Don't say
stuff like that to me, I've never done anythin’ like this before, ever. Well,
except for the times we almost did it in your bedroom but still, this is huge for me and I don't know how to process
what I'm feelin'-"
"Baby, you need to take a breath and calm the fuck down. This
is natural, you had an orgasm, an orgasm that I made you have. Big fucking
deal, it made you feel incredible, so why should you be embarrassed about that?
I'm your boyfriend, this is what I'm good for. It’s pretty much all I'm good for."

What a debut from L.A. Casey.
I must be honest it took me a little bit to warm up to Dominic but once I
got there, there was no turning back.
Bronagh had such spunk I was glad she gave as good as she got.
The story centers around Bronagh and Dominic’s love hate
relationship and his determination to win her heart. But her heart is closed off and she is
reluctant to let anyone in especially the smart ass American who won’t take no
for an answer.
Watching Bronagh’s transformation from a self proclaimed recluse
who only interacted with her sister to an active part of society was fun. She stepped out of her comfort zone and tried
to enjoy social events with others until Dominic would show up and turn things
upside down.
Now I get that he had a thing for Bronagh but at times he was a
bit over the top. Possessive does not
come near the need for control that Dominic felt when it came to her.
We also come to find that the Slater brothers have appeal. Branna is involved with Dominic’s older brother Ryder and when Bronagh finds out she is less than thrilled. But as the story progresses we see that they have formed a bond amongst themselves and have created their own family.
Family that will do anything for each other. When the past that has been hanging over the
Slater Family comes back to haunt them and puts Bronagh in harms way, look
out! This story has numerous twists and
turns that kept the reader very engaged.
Now the story is written as Ireleand as its backdrop and so it took me a
little bit to get used to some of the terminology but the book was so well
written that it almost became second nature.
I am definitely looking forward to what L.A. Casey has up her sleeve
next. More Slater brothers…yes please!
