DOMINIC (Slater Brothers, #1)

I couldn't believe I was letting this happen. I was aware of what was going to happen if I let this continue on, but I chose to let it. It might be wrong but at this moment and time, it didn't feel wrong.

Dominic reached around to unhook my bra straps but at this exact time, his bedroom door opened.

"Dominic, are you coming for a run with - oh shit, sorry."

I screamed and covered myself up even though Dominic's body was hiding me from view.

"Alec, bro, get the fuck out!" Dominic bellowed, looking over his shoulder.

"Leaving," Alec said, as the door clicked shut.

I closed my eyes and could only imagine what Alec thought. From his view, he would have seen Dominic's bare back with my bare legs wrapped around the back of his because my skirt was rising up.

"Oh, my God," I whispered.

"I'm sorry about that, babe. Now where were we?" Dominic asked in a seductive tone.

Was he serious?

"I was about to get dressed and go home," I answered and pushed him back off me.

I was red faced as I scrambled around picking up my school shirt and school jumper. I quickly got my shirt back on and buttoned and fixed it into my skirt, then pulled my jumper over my head. I picked up my school bag and put the straps over my shoulders.

I moved towards the door without speaking to Dominic, and this made him mad.

"You're just going to leave, just like that?" he snapped.

I didn't look at his face, just at his still bare torso. "This is wrong, we don't even like each other so we shouldn't be kissin' or doin' anythin' other than ignorin' each other. I appreciate what you did for me today; I really do but that won't fix anythin', I still don't like you."

Dominic frowned. "I get that but I thought that we could hash it out-"

"By havin' sex?" I gasped.

"Uh, that's a good a way as any but-"

"You arsehole! You thought by seducin' me it would make me magically not hate you?" I shouted then widened my eyes. "Is that what you meant this mornin' when you said you would get me back without physically hurtin' me? You wanted to take my virginity when you knew I would regret that, and it would hurt me emotionally? Is that what is happenin' here?"

Dominic shook his head. "No, no, I'm saying this all wrong, babe-"

"Don't call me that. Get the hell out of me way, now!" I bellowed.

Dominic did move, but he had his own eyes narrowed now. "Stop being such a crazy bitch and just listen to me-"

"Oh, that's a great way to get a girl to listen, call her names," I spat sarcastically as I stormed down the flights of stairs.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, Dominic suddenly jumped around me. The sight of his bare back and his tattoo before he turned around tormented me. It was rippled with muscle, and for some reason I wanted to bite him.

"Will you just stop, you're overreacting right now."

"Bro, you don't ever say that to an angry woman. Especially not an angry Irish woman," a voice whispered from my right.

"Fuck off, Kane," Dominic snapped without looking away from me.

"Why wouldn't I overreact? You have been a bloody dick to me ever since I met you, and now, all of a sudden, you want to hash things out between us by havin' sex? You're a class A fuckin' arsehole!" I snarled and slapped him across the face.

I felt bad because his face was already swollen and starting to bruise, but that feeling went away when he said what he did a few seconds later.

"You know what? I thought you would be somewhat nice to me for doing you a favour by defending you today, but I guess you really are an ice-cold bitch. No wonder nobody at school wants to be your friend. Get the fuck out, no * is worth this bullshit."

Pussy? That's all I was?

Of course I was, why else would he do what he did and say all that bullshit to me?

He was trying to get laid and hoped to hurt me in the process, the fucking bastard.

I hated that my eyes welled up, but I hated even more that Dominic noticed it and rolled his eyes.

"If you want to do me a favour then stay the fuck away from me," I said in a cold tone before turning and walking away.

I paused at the door when I opened it. It was raining out, but that wasn't why I stopped. I looked over my shoulder and smiled at Dominic, ignoring the fact that all his brothers were watching and listening from out of the sitting room/gym room doorway.

Dominic hurt me with his words, worse than when he elbowed me in the face, and I wanted to hurt him back.

"And don't get big headed thinkin' I wanted to sleep with you, because I pretended you were Damien the whole time up there," I said sweetly then walked out the door and slammed it behind me.

"You fucking slut!" I heard Dominic's voice roar.

I heard his brothers shout at each other to grab him. The noise of them shouting stopped when I got a good bit away from his house.

I was so mad at myself; I should have known better than to go to his house. He was just another typical slimy lad who thought about nothing but having sex, and he thought that defending me would get him into my knickers. The fucking sad fact was that if Alec hadn't walked into the bedroom, he would have gotten into my knickers.
