“I feel so bad for laughing. It’s just funny how you tell stories. You’re such a great storyteller. I can listen to you speak all day,” she professed.

I swallowed the tender, well-seasoned stuffed oyster.

“Thank you. You have a wonderful voice yourself. Now, you’ve listened to me make a fool of myself. Tell me about you outside of work. Who is Domaneek?”

I chased another bite of my meal with my red wine then gave her my full attention. Dom swallowed her own wine with a smirk.

“Let’s see. I’m a lover of music, movies, and books.

Books are definitely my love language. I’ve been an avid reader since I was a kid.

I’m a girly girl, so fresh acrylic sets, pedicures, facials, and waxes are a must. I love to stay in, and I enjoy going out.

That’s pretty much me in the nutshell. Oh!

I’m a foodie. I think I’m a bartender in my head, and I enjoy a good bubble bath.

” She chuckled at herself. “What are you like outside of work, Dr. Cones?”

“I love how carefree and personable you are. You enjoy the same things that most women do, and I have no problem with making sure you’re able to keep up that lifestyle.”

Dom’s brows merged.

“What do you mean?” she quizzed, covering her mouth while she talked and chewed.

“Meaning, I’m not just going to sleep with you and not care for you like I do Lai. You’re worth more than sex to me. We on the same page?”

She nodded with a smirk. “You don’t have to, love.”

“Yes, I do, and that’s all I’ma say about that.”

“Well, damn, handsome face. I understand, and I’ma drop it,” Dom stated with a giggle.

“Good girl. Now let’s see. Outside of work, I love to hike, and I make survival and food videos in the woods. I have quite the following on social media,” I announced with a smirk. I really enjoyed my hobby.

“No way. That’s so cool, love. How did you get into hiking and then making content for your hobby?” she queried, diving back into her food.

I cleaned my mouth then swallowed.

“My dad used to take my brothers and I hiking every weekend to burn off some of our high energy. We used to drive our mom crazy. Thank goodness our dad was a wilderness man. That’s how my love for nature was birthed. Are you an outdoorsy person?”

Dom pretended to choke on her wine as her eyes shifted from to side to side like a cartoon character. She made me laugh. Her sense of humor was everything to me.

“I am not an outdoorsy person. I am a city girl through and through. My name and the wilderness don’t even go in the same sentence.”

“I get it, but would you try it for me? I promise not to let you get hurt, and you’ll discover peace like never before,” I replied, gazing into her eyes.

Dom stared at me and allowed a few seconds to pass by before she finally decided to respond.

“You have this charm about you that makes me want to do whatever you say. I’m terrified of the woods, but for you, I’ll try it once.”

I tossed back my wine and nodded. “I appreciate your honesty. Talking to you has me made me more comfortable with our arrangement. Thank you, Dom.”

She wiped her mouth and smirked. “I’m glad I can sway you to the dark side. Trust me when I say you won’t regret your decision. If you really want to thank me, then you’ll dance with me when I return from the bathroom.”

“Do I have to?”

“Yes, love.”

Dom stood and removed her cardigan. She wrapped her cross-body bag around her then sashayed to the bathroom.

My eyes were glued to her. Dom’s back was out.

The one piece she wore had an opening that stopped right above her shapely backside.

Dom had cakes for days. Her cheeks jiggled with every step she took, and it made me think about earlier when she mentioned her thong.

I’d love to be wedged between her cheeks.

I never desired a woman outside of Lai, but things had certainly changed.

Dom now had my nose wide open. Her presence was so easygoing and funny that it made me want to take up as much space in her life as I could.

Hopefully she’d feel the same way. Dom returned from the bathroom and placed her bag in her chair. She held her hand out for me to grab.

“Come on, handsome face. I got you.”

Dom winked and tossed me a sexy smirk. For some strange reason, I believed her when she said she had me.

I took ahold of her small hand then followed her to the dance floor of the restaurant.

A live band played a mix of jazz and Bossa Nova instrumentals, and it created a sexy and sensual vibe.

Couples swayed back and forth in their seats and the brave ones took to the floor like we did.

I pulled Dom to me and wrapped my arms around her waist. Her back rested against my chest, and I couldn’t lie, it felt damn good to have one of the baddest and curviest women in my arms. Dom was so soft and warm.

She smelled so damn edible. The smell of ripe plums, freesias, and a clean fragrance filled my nostrils as I lowered my head and inhaled her neck.

She shivered under my embrace, inciting me to hold her tighter.

My dick hardened behind her. Shit. I stilled because it was unexpected, but Dom pressed her ass against me more.

That was all the permission I needed. I left one arm around her waist and placed the other around her neck.

Dom relaxed under my touch, basking in our private moment.

It felt as if we were the only two here.

She wanted to be here in this moment with me, and so did I.

I didn’t want to let her go, but I had to.

After we swayed to a few songs, I paid for our meal then we left the restaurant hand in hand.

Once we made it to our cars, Dom leaned against hers, and I stood in front of her.

“I had a great time with you, beautiful. There will be more days like this to come.”

“I look forward to them. Thank you for such a beautiful day and evening. I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight,” she admitted with a light snicker.

My hand gently stroked her cheek as she peered up at me with the cutest and most innocent look on her face.

Dom was gorgeous. Her spirit was rich. Even if this poly thing didn’t work out, I wanted to keep in touch with her.

Dom needed someone in her corner because she was all alone in this big crazy world.

“Beautiful, can I kiss you? I been wanting to do so all day.”

She nodded slowly. “I’ve desired kissing you all day. Please ki—”

I cut her off. My mouth crashed into hers, pushing her further into the door of her car.

She kissed me back with the same intensity and fire.

Her hand trailed down my body until she held onto as much of my hard dick as she could.

My hand traveled behind her and gripped a handful of her ass.

Fuck , I groaned internally. Dom had me hotter than fish grease.

I wanted her. I craved her. Our tongues rolled as one, almost like we’d done this dance before.

Everything felt so natural between us like we were lovers in a past life.

How could that be? I’d just met this woman, so why did she feel like home to me already?

I didn’t want to take advantage of her, but I needed to feel more of her warm skin.

My hands eased inside of her backless one piece and grabbed on to her ass.

It was warm and uncovered, and Dom shivered when my finger traced the string of her thong.

She felt amazing. I wanted to place my face between her cheeks and not get up until she needed a break.

She wouldn’t be considered a real BBW, but she was hefty in all the right places for me.

My hand trailed down further until I felt how wet she was.

Dom was drenched. My fingers felt as if someone had squeezed a hefty amount of moisturizer in my hand.

Damn. The more I touched her, the more I wanted to fuck her in this parking lot, and she deserved much more than that.

I found the unwanted strength to release her and put a little space between us.

“You’re an amazing kisser and woman, and you deserve much more than a parking lot fuck,” I expressed, out of breath.

“Y-you’re right,” she agreed, trying to catch her breath.

I removed my phone. “Let’s exchange information. I wanna be able to reach out to you without having to go through Laila every time.”

“That’s fine with me, love.”

We exchanged information then I opened her car door for her.

“Goodnight, beautiful. Let me know when you make it home.”

“I will, handsome face, and you do the same.”

Dom and I shared one more kiss before she climbed into her car and drove away, taking a piece of me with her. Pretty soon we’d be back together again.

While I waited for my last appointment of the day, Dom and I video chatted. She made fresh sweets in her kitchen for an upcoming bachelor party, and so far, the shape of each sweet came out nicely.

“You’re not decorating your sweets today, only baking them then you refrigerate them? That’s part of your process?”

“Yeah. It is. If it’s a small order, I can knock out the baking and decorating within a day, but a big order like this, I need a full day to bake and shape each treat if needed. The following day I devote to decorating then boxing,” Dom answered.

“Wow. You make it look so easy. I know it isn’t because there’s a mass of sweets in front of you, but the way you move around with ease gives that vibe.”

Dom chuckled while she placed some sweets in her sealable freezer bags.

“You make it sound as if I’m a dream or something. I’m far from it.”

“Not in my eyes you aren’t. You’re a dream to me. You’re rare and special and so charismatic that you have no idea the eyes that are always on you. You were completely oblivious to the men and women that ogled you the other day at the restaurant.”
