Revengeful Deceptions (17 page)

“You are beautiful Adam Caruso,”
she whispered in his ear and kissed him softly on the lips.

A soft moan escaped his lips, and
in a dream like tone he said, “I love you Dominique.”

Dominique smiled as she turned off
the light and curled up next to him.

“Well good morning sleepyhead,
happy thanksgiving,” said Dominique as she kissed her hung over man. Dominique
had just gotten out of the shower when she saw that Adam was awake.

“What time is it?” He moaned as he
returned her kiss.

“Oh it's a little after 11, how's
the head? She asked as she handed him a glass of water and two aspirin.

“What would I do without you
Dominique? He asked while swallowing his hangover cure.

“Let's hope you never have to find
out.”

“Hey where are you going?” He said
as he playfully tugged at her bathrobe.

“Hey now, what do you think you’re
doing Adam?” She grinned seductively.

“Who me? Nothing, but did you
forget what you told me last night in the wine cellar?”

“I do remember Adam and I’m
surprised that you do too, but my dear what you don’t remember is that I said
later and later came and went and you, Adam Caruso passed out.”

“No, I’m pretty sure you said first
thing in the morning,” he said as he pulled her on top of him.

“I do wish that my head would stop
pounding,” he said with a painful moan.

“Well now, I may be able to help
you with that,” she replied as she ran her fingers along his chest working her
way down.

“And what do you suggest?” He asked
his headache already beginning to subside.

 
“Oh just this,” She replied as she leaned down
and kissed him deeply. Her hair covered his warm chest as she covered him with
soft kisses. He tugged at her bathrobe making it fall from around her shoulders
revealing her soft ample breasts, breasts that now caressed his skin as she
worked her way down to his swollen, hard erection.

  
Adam inhaled sharply as her cool tongue took him into her mouth swirling
slowly and delicately around him. He wanted to call out her name but all he
could manage was a slight whisper. And as he eased deeper inside her mouth he
felt his desire rising to the surface.

The moment was so erotic for him,
he liked the way her hair fell around him, how even with her lips wrapped
around him she seemed to be smiling, taking him in. Dominique could feel the
thirst rising in her and she wanted him to quench that thirst.

“I love the way you taste.” she
said in a throaty growl.

“Hey you guys decent in there
Brandon burst through the door and into the room.

Adam quickly gathered Dominique in
his arms and covered them both with a blanket.

Adam was fuming. “You ever hear of
knocking ASSHOLE?”

“Sorry little brother ain't
nothing
I haven’t seen before.” Brandon said, staring
directly at Dominique who was now huddled against Adam with the covers up to
her neck.

“What the fuck do you want
Brandon?”

“Huh? Oh yeah I almost forgot why I
came down. Its football time buddy, get up, get dressed and let's go,
everybody’s waiting! Come on.” He said before heading out the door.

Dominique knew that Brandon's so
called accidental intrusive was done on purpose.

“Adam why is your brother trying to
come between us?” she asked rising from the bed.

“Dominique where are you going?”
Adam was in desperate need of her to finish what she had started.

“Forget it now Adam. Thanks to your
brother, I’m not longer in the
mood,
you better go get
ready for your game.” She said slamming the bathroom door behind her.

“I need to get in the bathroom in
order to do that! He said with irritation in his voice. Now he too was mad.

“It's a big house Adam, there are
plenty of other bathrooms, and I suggest that you find one!”

Adam threw the covers off the bed,
put on a pair of sweat pants and headed to the upstairs bathroom.

Chapter Seventeen

Dominique did not go outside to
watch the family football game; instead she stayed and helped in the kitchen.
Adam tried to appear nonchalant every time he would glance up and look for
Dominique, but he knew she was angry and that she would not come out to watch
him play. His focus was not on the game and as his family members were able to
tackle him time and time again, he gave up, he had to talk to Dominique,
he
couldn’t stand for her to be angry, especially on
Thanksgiving.

When he walked into the kitchen,
Dominique wasn’t there; she had made her way into the family room and was
standing in front of the warm fire. Adam hesitated a moment before speaking.

“Dominique, are you still angry
with me?”

Normally she wouldn’t have cared
but Dominique knew that Brandon was trying to come between them, and that meant
that she was going to have to try harder to pit brother against brother.

“Adam, I don’t appreciate how you
let your brother walk in on us this morning.” She said with venom in her voice.

“Dominique Okay, first of all I
didn’t let him in anywhere and second of all I think you’re making a bigger deal
out of this than what it is.”

“Maybe you forgot just what it was
I was doing to you this morning Adam and forgive me but I’m not into voyeurism.

I think… no I know what he did was
on purpose and I think its sick Adam, plain and simple and if you’re not going
to say anything to him then either bring me home or find yourself on a sofa
tonight; there are plenty of those too!”

“Dominique I don’t understand why
your acting this way, and what do you mean on purpose why the hell would he do
that, I think your overreacting Dominique now can we just forget it ever
happened and enjoy the day please?”

“And I just don’t think
its
right Adam! You’re under reacting! Her voice now rose.
Don’t you see Adam, he's obviously angry at me for what I did to his friend,
and he's trying to come between us and your letting it happen.”

“Dominique, if it will make you
feel better, I’ll talk to him but I really wish you would try and calm down.”

Dominique was just plain angry now.
“Adam you know what I wish? I wish that you would stop making excuses for
you’re no good brother!” Dominique stormed out of the room.

I cannot believe he would defend
his brother like that!
Thought Dominique as she walked around the bedroom
arms folded and gritting her teeth.
That son of a bitch murdered my family
and now he thinks
he's
gonna ruin my plans? I don’t
fucking think so you piece of shit
. Dominique knew that getting angry at
Adam wasn't a good idea but she hoped that he would eventually see her side of
things. Dominique knew that Brandon was a snake; she just hoped that Adam would
see it too, and soon.

“Is it alright if I use the
bathroom down here? The others are being used and I need to get ready for
dinner.”

“Go ahead Adam, it’s your house,”
she said as she sat on the bed pouting.

While he was in the shower,
Dominique changed too, she wanted to entice and tease Adam as much as she could
and she was glad she brought the perfect outfit with her. She had chosen to
change into a wrap style cashmere sweater dress. The dress looked amazing on
her and showed off her legs. She put on a touch of makeup, making sure she
accentuated her full lips, and let her hair fall in loose curls around her
shoulders. A pair of matching heels and she looked ravishing.

Adam was speechless when he saw
Dominique standing in front of the full length mirror.

“I know you’re not talking to me
but you look absolutely beautiful Dominique.”

Now it’s time for me to do a little
teasing, she said to herself as she walked over to him.

Dominique gave Adam, who was still
wet a once over.

Immediately he grew hard, he hoped
that Dominique would change her mind and want to finish what she started. But
that was not what she had in mind. Dominique simply wanted to tease him. 
Slowly she let her tongue swirl around the edge of his ear. She was driving him
crazy and she knew it.

“Mmmmm, I wish I could finish what
I started this morning but your brother might accidentally interrupt again and
we wouldn’t want that to happen now would we? Better get dressed Adam, dinner's
almost ready.” Dominique left Adam standing alone, mouth agape and more pent up
than he could ever remember.

During dinner, Adam could hardly
contain himself as Dominique who was sitting beside him kept brushing her leg
against him or accidentally dropping her napkin or fork and having to bend down
to retrieve them. With each subtle glimpse of her, Adam thought he would burst.
Not even the delicious meal was enough to distract him from wanting her.
Finally he knew what he had to do. He whispered in her ear, “I'll talk to my
brother after dinner.”

Dominique turned to him and smiled
brightly. “Thank you.”

After dinner, as Brandon left the
table and went outside to smoke, Adam saw his opportunity and followed him.

“Hey little brother, that was some
meal huh?” Brandon said while lighting his cigarette.

“Yeah it was great, listen Brandon
I need to talk to you about what you did this morning.”

“What are you talking about Adam?
What the hell did I do this morning?”

“You barged in on Dominique and I
and it's made her very uncomfortable Brandon, I need you to apologize to her.”

“Apologize? Apologize for what?”
Brandon's short temper was about to reach its boiling point.

“Well to be honest Brandon that was
rude and you know after all she's been through these past few weeks you could
have shown some respect.”

Brandon was spoiling for a fight;
he'd had several glasses of wine at dinner and was beginning to feel its
effects.

“You know what Adam? You're
absolutely right, I should have knocked and If you can persuade Dominique to
come out here I’ll apologize to her, this way there's no big scene, what do ya
say?”

“Thanks Brandon, you’re saving my
life here, hang tight I’ll go get her.”

“No problem little brother but do
me a favor? Stay inside and let me talk to her alone, I think it'll be more
sincere that way. Okay little brother? I just want her to know how sorry I
really am.” Brandon did his best to lie and it worked.

Brandon knew that apologizing was
the last thing on his mind, he wasn’t going to tell her he knew who she was, oh
no, he would wait for that.
But it is time that somebody put this arrogant
bitch in her place,
he told himself as Dominique walked outside.

 
“You wanted to see me? Dominique spoke coldly.
You can do this Dominique, so far, so good, just remember, this son of a
bitch is gonna get what's coming to him. Keep up the facade with him Dominique,
it's working.

“Yeah, ah thanks for coming out
here Dominique, I just wanted to say... running his fingers through his hair,
“Adam tells me that your uncomfortable about me walking in on you guys this
morning and well I just wanted to say that, I don’t really give a damn what
makes you fucking uncomfortable bitch, you think you can come into town and get
between my brother and me?
 
Me and Adam are
blood you got that?

And I hate to break it to you
sweetheart but  you're just another piece of ass  to him, and he can
get a  nice piece of ass anywhere he wants, so whatever he's told you that
makes you think your important, think again lady because he tells the same
story to every fucking woman that comes into his life. So if I was you, I’d
pack my fucking bag and go back  to where you came from because no one is
coming between my family you got that?” so get over yourself you two faced bitch.”

Dominique was stunned, if ever
there was a moment where she wanted to reveal it all, now was the time. But she
held her tongue; she said not a word as Brandon looked coolly at her. He was
expecting a response but he got none. Dominique simply smiled at him and walked
back into the house thinking,
you just dug your own grave buddy.
Dominique strolled by Adam and smiled.

“I'll be right back,” she whispered
in his ear as she went down into their guest room. Dominique fished in her
purse for her cell and dialed a taxi company. The dispatcher told her it would
be a bit more expensive due to the holiday but that didn’t matter to Dominique,
the faster he can get here the better she told the dispatcher after giving her
the address.

Dominique quickly threw everything
in her overnight bag, taking care not to forget anything.
I certainly don’t
want to come back here,
she said to herself.

“Dominique what's going on? Asked
Adam who stood in the doorway absolutely
clueless.

“What does it look like Adam? I'm
leaving.”

Adam's stomach began to churn. Oh
my god she's found out. It’s over, it’s all over he wanted to scream, tell her
that it was a mistake, beg her forgiveness. But he could not, not yet, he had
to make sure.

“Dominique please talk to me, he
grabbed her by the arm.

“Adam let go of me. You don’t want
me here! I'm just another piece of ass to you Adam.”

“What? Why are you saying this
Dominique?”  Adam's head was spinning.

“Why don’t you ask your brother?”

Dominique pushed by him and ran up
the stairs. After telling his family that an emergency came up, Dominique bid
them a hasty goodbye and walked out the door. The taxi had just arrived and as
Dominique got in it she ignored Adam's angry outcries for her to stop, stop and
talk to him.

Dominique was hurt by what Brandon
had said, she knew it couldn’t be true but she was hurt none the less.
But
what if it was true?
She wondered
what if the whole thing was a lie
simply to get me to go to bed with him.
