Swept By Lust

Eiza

Another scorching day in Los Angeles.

Thank goodness.

I unloaded my shopping bags from my car trunk, grateful that I found a spot close to my apartment building. And even more grateful I wore shorts and a comfy tee to battle this warm weather.

I swipe my hair away from my face as I notice a flashy black sports car aggressively whizzing through other cars on my street. The flashy car parks right in front of my building, and I can make out that it's a Dodge Charger.

“Look at this idiot, no need to drive like that” I mumble to myself.

I'm not going to lie, it's a nice car.

The bright sunlight makes it sparkle like a diamond. And that's when I noticed the license plate.

I scoff as I read the damn thing.

got charger?

I roll my eyes so hard.

It's cheeky, and I would have laughed, if I didn't just witness that reckless driving moments ago.

Feeling the weight of my shopping bags on my fingers, I make my way to the building's front entrance. Knowing full well I was going to bump into whoever was driving that black car. I notice the side door opening and out comes the driver.

Six feet-two inches of muscled masculinity, broad shoulders, long legs, and jet black hair. Paired accordingly with matching black aviators. He crosses his arms and places them on the roof and turns to face me.

Oh fuck no.

What the hell is Dominic Frederick doing here?

“Howdy... neighbor.” Flashing me a wink.

A wry smile stretches from ear to ear, as he meets my gaze.

“I didn't know you were in L.A." I don’t match his grin at all.

“And I didn't know that something so pretty is incapable of smiling.” Dom says.

I pick up on the classic Frederick flirty tone and I choose to ignore it, I couldn't believe my ears.

“Wait..... neighbor...?”

“Oh yeah. I'm in town for a few months, maybe more. Looks like we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other."

He pushes off from his car and closes his door, walks to the trunk of the car, and retrieves his bags. One bag in hand, the second swung across his back.

Dom looks back at me still smiling with that damn sexy smile that can melt hearts.

“Any objections?” he says.

I narrow my eyes and exhale a sharp breath.

“Plenty! What are you Fredericks up to now? Why-“

I'm interrupted by my upstairs neighbor.

I turn slightly to see the tall, platinum blonde woman walk towards me. She’s wearing a tight leather mini skirt and black strappy heels. Very sexy for this early afternoon.

Kandee stops right next to me. And her blue eyes widen looking up to Dom. He smiles and winks at Kandee.

“Eiza, aren't you going to introduce me?” Kandee says, biting her bottom lip, and batting her eyes.

I look at her and I look at Dom and sigh.

“Dom, this is Kandee. She's my neighbor.”

“That's K-A-N-D-E-E, not C-A-N-D-Y like the treat. I live in the apartment upstairs right above you.” she says. Twirling a lock of her hair.

Kandee giggles and touches Dom's arm, and winks.

“I'd like to personally introduce you to the building."

Dom's thick, dark eyebrows lift and he smiles a devilish smile. He looks at Kandee up and down.

"I’m Dom, and I can't think of anyone I’d rather have above me than you, K-A-N-D-E-E."

I try so hard not to roll my eyes. I adjust the weight of my shopping bag and turn on my heel, making my way to the buildings front door.

"Hey! Wait up..”

I hear Dom call after me.

We both turn around to the sound of a loud honk. A Cadillac SUV slowly comes to a stop at the building. The windows are pitch black.

On cue, Kandee walks to the SUV and the passenger window rolls down. She bends over slightly on the rolled down window, obscuring the view of whomever was in the car, she seems to be giggling. Kandee opens the car door and leaves with the mystery driver.

Dom and I exchange confused looks. I turn to the building's door and look for my keys.

He follows me inside once I open the gate.

“Yeah. This building is perfect.” Admiring it’s elegance and contemporary design.

I roll my eyes again.

"So you're in town? Great. Few months? Get it. But can you tell me why out of all the apartments for rent, did you have to pick my building?"

Dom raises an eyebrow and the glint in his eye was unnerving. He looked me up and down and there was a sudden rush I'd never felt before.

Or at least bothered to acknowledge. And just as quickly that glint in his eye was gone and replaced by his cool and casual demeanor.

“Dad suggested I take the new advertisement project here, I suspected it was because of you, but he had nothing to do with it. Your sister Zoey told me that you mentioned the empty apartment, and suggested I contact the landlord about renting it, so it looks like we’re neighbors now baby."

He practically says with a laugh.

Yeah I don't believe him and cast him a cold glance.

As if my sister would casually mention the empty apartment to him.

She knows how much I can’t stand Dominic.

"Great."

"Don't look too happy, babe."

He looks at me with those light baby blue eyes that are just begging for someone to swim in. Why was I paying so much attention to him? I shake my head and walk to my apartment. Completely aware that Dom is still right behind me.

Following my path to my front door. I search my purse for my keys and proceed to make my way inside. And of course, Dom invites himself in.

Jeez!

I place my palm on his chest to stop him from walking any further. I didn't expect to feel that rush again as I felt his hard chest.

Holy fuck, he was fit.

I need to get a hold of myself.

"I'll make sure to thank Zoey, But no offense, your dad knew what he was doing by sending you here. For years he's been trying to play matchmaker.”

I point him to the door.

For years.. The great Marco Frederick of Frederick & Sons Advertising... has been obsessed with matching up his sons with my sisters.

Four successful Frederick sons destined to marry the four charming Angelo sisters.

First was my oldest sister Zoey being married to Dom's older brother Ricky. I swear those two are the epitome of love and they treasure each other incredibly.

And at their wedding, no one could ignore the sparks flying between my second oldest sister Saraya, when she met the second oldest Frederick son, Felix. And they too eventually fell hard. In two years they too were married.

Ricky and Felix adored their wives and were bent on keeping my sisters happy. And for that I will always have love for them.

But Dom…

Dom... he was a different story. A playboy with annoying charm.

I'm the third oldest and so is Dom.

And you’ll be fucking kidding me if I ever hook up with the likes of him.

NOT going to happen.

And as far as our youngest siblings, Gio and Leah.. well they were too young to care about being matched together.

They were both college students and more than aware of Marcos intentions, but they were friendly and polite and didn't seem to pay too much attention to it. They just carried on being friends and laughing at the silliness of them being destined to be together. Both knew it was just a bunch of bull.

Dom ignores my signal to leave and proceeds to my living room. Eyeing my place and looking around. He goes to my big sofa and plops himself right on. Making himself way too comfortable. He sits back, arms spread across the top of the soda and legs wide open.

Typical male behavior. He rubs his chin and looks at the ceiling.

“Yeah, he doesn't let anyone forget how he perfectly matched your sister with my brother. Can't blame the old man, those two are soul mates. It’s beautiful actually.” he says with a smile.

I should be very bothered that he won't take the hint.

I should be telling him to fuck off and leave my place.

But he looks so sexy on my sofa. So carefree and relaxed. I picture myself sitting on his lap, nuzzling on his neck…

Oh my god Eiza! Get a grip!

This is Dom Frederick we're talking about!

“Beautiful and soul mates. Words I never thought I would hear from that you. I’m happy for Zoey, but what she has is something that I don't want. I’m perfectly happy on my own. Men could be fun I guess, maybe to fool around with, but absolutely not a necessity. You can tell your dad that.” I make sure he hears my stern tone narrowing my eyes at him.

Dom doesn't budge, instead he holds my gaze not once breaking contact, as he sits up and walks over to me.

I can smell his aroma. No cologne, just his natural manly scent.

He wraps his arm over my waist and pulls me in.

My palms immediately jerk up and rest on his hard chest trying to get away from his grasp.

But he pulls me in tighter.

And with the other hand he lifts my chin forcing me to look into those baby blues.

“If you really think that Eiza... I can show you a fucking good time” he says and he lightly rubs my lips with thumb.

Pressing his thumb gently as to signal me to open my lips and allow him access.

I was frightened that I actually wanted to suck his thumb and swirl around it with my tongue.

Dom was handsome and really fit. A Greek god some would even say. But that smug attitude was so uncalled for. And just because his brothers were married to my sisters, didn't mean he was entitled to me.

Not even a little bit.

But all that didn't matter at this moment as my thoughts betrayed my actions and I parted my lips, letting Dom slip his thumb in my mouth.

I began to suck on it.

“Fuck…” he says in a whisper.

Dom drops his free hand from my waist and squeezes my ass. I could feel his cock harden against me as he shifts. Clear signs of his arousal.

After a few seconds he pulls out his thumb from my mouth.

His baby blues are still locked on mine and he licks just the tip of his thumb erasing away the wetness I've left on it.

Fuck, that is so damn sexy.

Both of his hands are now on my ass, squeezing really hard.

It feels good…

“Damn Eiza, nice ass..." His tone low and gruff.

Suddenly, I break away from his spell.

The realization of what just happened gave me the strength to finally pull away from him.

How could I let that happen?

And with Dom for fucks sake.

I didn't know what scared me more, that I gave in to him, or that

I actually liked it.

I actually liked the touch of Dominic Fredrick on me.
