His Love

Chapter 14- Dancing

-Dominic-

"Alaina!" I yell from the other room, rummaging through the closet. "Are you almost ready, love?"

"2 minutes, baby!"

A small smile creeps on my face as I find the suit I was searching for.

"So, tonight, you have to stay by my side, A, there's a lot of people there and I don't want to lose you."

I hear the bathroom door open as I am fixing the cuff links of my jacket and starting to turn.

"You don't need to worry about anything, I'll handle-"

Wow.

She faces the mirror, smoothing down the gentle creases in the silk, her bare back exposed as she tries to reach for the zipper.

"God, the things you do to me." 

My eyes rake down her figure, the dress tight around her waist.

I step behind her, keeping my eyes on her in the huge mirror before us.

Clasping the zipper, her body tenses from the cold rings across my fingers.

Achingly slow, I start closing her dress, placing a single kiss on her shoulder before looking back up into those gorgeous eyes.

"Beautiful."

Her eyes close, her lips turning up at the corners.

Her makeup is different today, the colours a lot deeper.

Wrapping my arms around her waist, I rest my head on her shoulder.

"You ready to go?"

Placing a kiss on my head, she untangles herself from my embrace to go get her heels.

She stands up, doing a small twirl and showing off her outfit.

"What do ya think?"

"Gorgeous. Perfect, even. As always."

She stumbles trying to walk over to me, clutching my arms to balance herself.

"Shit, I forgot how useless I am when I wear heels." she laughs, pulling herself together.

Holding my arm out to her, she links it with hers securely.

"So... what am I supposed to do at this thing?" she asks, biting her lips nervously.

"Nothing really. Just stay with me. Dance. Drink." I shrug my shoulders. "As long as you're safe."

"And what do I do if I lose you?"

"Stay where you are and I'll find my way back to you. Always."

I guide her into my car with my hand, leaning down and placing a kiss on her lips.

I watch her eyes divert back to a weird daze of the window.

As I sit down, she remains zoned out, her legs shaking up and down.

"Hey." I say softly, her head shoots round to look at me.
