Twisted Obsessions (SIN CITY HEAT SERIES Book 2) (15 page)

Chapter 21
 

     Dominick and Keisha spent a great deal of time together over the next couple of months. Their days began to fall into a comfortable routine. They would ride to work together on the days that Keisha needed to be at the site, and soon Keisha just began spending the night at Dominick’s house. Their relationship was working out perfectly. 
     They also began to discover that they had many things in common and were very compatible. Dominick’s sense of humor matched Keisha’s and they kept one another laughing like crazy.
     Keisha finally got a chance to meet Dominick’s daughter, Samantha and instantly fell in love with her. Sam was crazy over Keisha as well. The weekends she stayed with Dominick, the three of them
would do fun things like go to the
park or the zoo. At night, they would sit around watching movies and eating popcorn, or playing games. It became a habit for Keisha and Sam to make a batch of cookies for Dominick every Saturday night she was there. This was their ‘girl’s only’ time, and Dominick knew he wasn’t allowed in the kitchen until after the women told him it was okay.
     The two of them didn’t put a label on what they had with each other. They weren’t ready for that yet, but they both knew it was something special and so did their friends. The six of them getting together to hang out became the norm as well. They rotated from one house to the other and would either cookout, watch movies, or sometimes go to the club every now and then.

     Aleesha and Jerra noticed a change in Keisha and mentioned it to her one night while they were all at Dominick’s house. The men were checking out the new speakers Dominick had purchased for his media room while the women and Baby D were in the living room talking
and
catching up. 
     While talking, Keisha noticed Jerra kept looking at her with an odd expression on her face. “Heffa…what?? Why you keep starin’ at me like that?” 

     Jerra grinned. “Because you’re different.” 
     “What do you mean ‘different’?” 
     “She’s right, Keisha,” Aleesha chimed in. “You’re softer. I guess that’s the word we’re looking for.” 
     “Oh? And what, I was a hard ass gangsta bitch before?” Keisha laughed. 
     "Well, I wouldn’t quite say 
that
, but..."

     Keisha‘s eyes widened. “Are you serious? Was I that bad?” 
     “Now don’t put words in our mouths. We didn’t say that. But you’ve mellowed,” Aleesha observed. 
     “She’s in L-O-V-E.” Jerra sang out. Leesh laughed at the scowl on Keisha’s face. 
     “I am not! I don’t know what you two are talkin’ about. Just because you both are head over heels, you think everyone else should be too. I’m the same person I was before. Not a thing has changed.” She paused when Dominick called her from the hallway. 
     “Hey Keisha….Kei-sha…” A second later he stood in the doorway. 
     “Yes, baby?” 
     “Sweetie, do we still have some food left? I’m starved.” 
     “Yes baby, would you like me to fix you a plate? Or we can run out and pick up something.” Jerra and Aleesha looked at her as if she’d lost her mind. 
They
 weren’t going anywhere. Marcus and Darrell could have some of the food they’d eaten earlier this evening if they were hungry. 
     “No baby, whatever’s in there is fine. Thank you,” Dominick smiled at her. 
     “You’re welcome, baby.” Keisha smiled back as she walked over to him and gave him a peck on the lips. When he wrapped his arms around her waist, she melted into him and the peck became a long kiss. 
     “Ump umm…” Jerra cleared her throat, but the two were in their own world and didn’t hear them. Jerra and Aleesha looked at each other and shook their heads.

     “Nope. She hasn’t changed at all.”

     One evening when Keisha and Dominick were out to dinner at their favorite restaurant, Keisha was listening as Dominick blew off steam about a job situation that was driving him crazy with one of the suppliers. 
     “Baby, I swear to God, if they don’t have that shipment in first thing Monday morning, I’m telling Mike to switch companies, and then we’re gonna turn around and sue their asses for breach of contract. I’m tired of messing around with them.” 
     “Well, baby, I know it’s a headache, but you’ve given them chance after chance. Now it’s up to….” 
     “Dominick?” 
     Dominick looked over Keisha’s shoulder as his name was called. Keisha frowned as his expression went from one of dislike to indifference. She turned around and looked at the woman who had called his name. She was very attractive, petite and stylish. Her hair was cut in a trendy bob that framed a face made up to perfection. The woman glanced at Keisha then immediately dismissed her with a roll of her eyes before turning her full attention to Dominick.

      Keisha raised a brow as she looked the woman up and down.
Who in the fuck was this, a chicken head from Dominick’s past? Bitch didn’t who she was messin’ with. 
     Dominick threw his napkin on the table and let out a loud sigh. “Justine. How are you?” 
     When Dom called out the woman’s name, Keisha quickly masked the look of surprise, but the woman saw her expression and a look of satisfaction crossed her face as she realized Keisha knew who she was. 
     “Keisha, I’d like you to meet my ex-wife, Justine. Justine, this is my girlfriend, Keisha.” 
     The two women sized each other up for a few moments. Because this was Sam’s mother, Keisha made an effort to be cordial. “Hello Justine, I’m pleased to finally meet you.” 
     Justine looked at Keisha, curled her lip up, then rolled her eyes again before looking at Dominick. Dominick’s jaw tightened. He opened his mouth to call Justine on her rudeness, but Keisha shook her head, letting him know it wasn’t worth making a scene over. Besides, Keisha had no problem speaking up if the situation called for it. 
     “Dominick, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you. I’ve left several messages, but you haven’t returned any of them. I don’t appreciate that at all.”

     “That’s because we have nothing to say to one another. I told you Sam can’t go to New York to spend the summer with your parents, and that’s final. Now, if you want her to visit for a couple of weeks, fine, I don’t mind switching my weekends around. But she’s not going for three months.” Dom’s resolve on the subject was firm and unmoving. It wasn’t even up for discussion as far as he was concerned. 
     Justine glanced at Keisha. “I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t discuss our personal business in front of your latest girlfriend.” 
     Dominick leaned forward in his chair to glare at Justine. “First of all, her name is Keisha. Secondly, Keisha already knows about this because I’ve talked with her about it. Now, if you don’t mind, we were in the middle of dinner.” 
     Dominick looked back down at his plate and started eating again as if Justine was not standing there. If the woman wasn’t such a bitch, Keisha would feel a little sorry for her the way she stood there looking like an idiot as Dominick ignored her. 
     “You’ll regret treating me like this Dominick. I promise you.” Dominick continued eating then reached for his wine, still not paying attention to Justine. Finally, she turned around stomped away, fury evident in each step. 
     There was silence at the table for a few minutes. “Do you want to talk about it?” Keisha asked. 
     “Nothing to talk about, babe. Nothing at all.” 
     Keisha looked in the direction that Justine had left in. She had a bad feeling about that woman. For some reason, the phrase ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ repeated itself in her head several times. Keisha would definitely keep her guard up when it came to her.
     Keisha and Dominick had been together almost three months. His birthday was in a couple of days, and Keisha had something very special planned. She had been working on his surprise for a month. Dominick was worse than a kid when it came to surprises; he bugged her for almost a week straight trying to get her to tell him what it was. She’d even caught him going through her email trying to find any information that would give him a clue. 
     “Dominick, for the last time, if I tell you it’s not a surprise…duh!” 
     “Baby, I know. I don’t want you to actually 
tell 
me. Just give me a hint. That’s all I’ve been asking for.” When she pretended not to hear him, Dominick tried subtle threats. “Alright. You know you have a birthday coming up. I don’t even want to hear it when I do the same thing to you….”

     Keisha looked at him with unconcern etched on her face. “Okay,” she answered before going to the bathroom. Dom stood there looking at the closed bathroom door with a look of pure frustration. 
     It wasn’t just the fact that she wouldn’t tell him what the plans were. He could live with that if that’s all it entailed. But she’d also added the stipulation that they agree to abstain from sex for the week leading up to his birthday, some crazy idea she’d gotten from Aleesha. He'd agreed, but now he was curious as hell - and after a couple of days, it had him unable to concentrate.

     She wouldn’t even go down on him, and as much as she loved to let him eat her pussy, she wouldn’t even let him sniff it even though he tried to tempt her on more than one occasion.

     Finally, she extracted a promise from him that he wouldn’t push the issue and that he wouldn’t try a “sneak attack” on her like he’d done the other night when she’d been asleep. He’d managed to slide his fingers inside of her and had her moaning for it while still asleep. When she woke up and found out what he was doing, she threatened to go to the other room to sleep if he couldn’t control himself. 
     “Is there a problem if we don't have sex for a couple of days, Dominick?” She’d poured the guilt on thick and stared at him until he lowered his eyes in shame. He wanted to tell her, ‘hell yeah there was a problem'! But then he caught himself. He didn’t want her to make good on her threat and start sleeping in the other bedroom.
     What he couldn’t get over was the fact that it so easy for her to stick to the 'no sex' stipulation. He could’ve sworn he had put this dick on her so good that she needed sex as much as he did - he had the scratches on
his back to prove it. Well, he couldn’t wait for tomorrow night because he was gonna tear her pussy up to the point where she
would feel like a crack fiend if she didn’t get a hit on a nightly basis. He’d make sure this would be the last time she was able to even think about pulling a stunt like this again. 
     Finally, Friday came. Dominick’s birthday. He had taken the entire day off. Keisha had arranged for him and his boys to play a round of golf at their favorite golf course followed by a pampered spa/massage treatment especially for men so he would be good and relaxed by the time he got home.

     Darrell complained about going to a spa but the couple of times they’d come before, he had beaten Dom and Marcus to one of the tables. He especially enjoyed the hot rock treatments. The direct heat of the stones was guaranteed to relax and soothe the muscles of the body and leave them rejuvenated and stress free. 
     “Yeah, at the moment, you need this more than we do, my brotha,” Darrell laughed at Dominick. “See…I don’t have to worry about my woman holdin’ out on me.” 
     “She’s not….never mind.” Dom frowned at him, wondering why he bothered to tell Darrell anything. Dominick knew he was trying to provoke him, so he decided to ignore him, and Marcus too, who was trying his best to hold his laughter inside.

     “You know what? Fuck ya'll.”

     Later that evening, he was dressed and sitting on the couch waiting on Keisha. He looked at his watch for the tenth time in as many minutes. He wished she would hurry up so that they could get to wherever it was they were going. He didn’t want dinner, he didn’t want dancing, he just wanted Keisha's pussy. 
     Finally she came out of the room, and all he could do was stare. Wow! His first thought was how in the hell was she able to breathe in that dress. His second thought was, thank God she’d figured out a way to do so, because the way that black strapless 
Herve Leger
 micro mini molded to her curves had him feeling like he was gonna be the shit when people saw her at his side. 
     “Damn!” He couldn’t think of anything else to say. “Baby….
damn!
” 
     Keisha walked over to him in sky high stilettos with a smile full of promises for tonight. She had been to the salon and gotten her hair and nails done, and she smelled incredible. “I take it you approve.” 
     “You have to be one of the most gorgeous women, I’ve even seen in my life.” 
     “Awww. Thank you, baby. I promise tonight will be a night you’ll never forget. Let’s go. The limo is waiting outside.” Dominick’s brows rose in surprise. 
Limo?

    
He and Keisha exchanged a smile as he escorted her out the house to the waiting luxury vehicle. The driver tipped his hat and nodded to them before opening the door. After they slipped in the back, Keisha snuggled up to Dominick and inhaled the intoxicating scent of his cologne. She had missed being with her man so much. She just wanted everything to be perfect. 
     Dominick poured them a glass of the expensive champagne which was chilled and on ice. After a toast, they made small talk until the limousine finally came to a stop.

     Keisha turned her head to look out the window. “Well, we’re here, baby.” 
     Dominick leaned up to look past her out the window. When he saw their final destination, a slow smile of anticipation slid over his face.
