Dominic poured more mole over his tamale, cut a bite, then stared at his fork Dammit
Why was he keeping Lara locked up?
For her safety? Clearly not, since she’d be safer with him They’d already proved that point
Because having her tucked aould keep te what she’d taste like naked, covered in mole sauce, with every bite he took?
Because he didn’t want her to know anything about his faiven that he knew da about hers?
Dominic frowned
“I’ll bring her back for dinner,” he finally conceded
“Whoa,” Lucas said, holding up a hand “Dinner? You sure?”
Dominic rolled his eyes
“You were just givingup caution over her co to dinner What’s your problem?”
“Co to the house, lunch in the kitchen, that’s casual Dinner is the whole faonna do everything he can to make you look bad”
Lara could probably match their little brother story for story on that topic
“So?” Doed “Celia will defend me with stories about hoesome I am”

Except he hadn’t respected Lara’s
Instead, he’d let his bruised ego have a poutfest, leaving a scared, terrorized wo back at his cabin
“I gotta go,” he said, heading for the door
“You’re really bringing her back for dinner?” Lucas asked, pulling the plate toward him to finish what Dominic hadn’t

Do out containers of leftovers and stacking the fro to plate the food, slid all the containers inside
There She’d have plenty to choose fro
“I need your truck toathered the food and headed for the door again
“Sure I need it in the evening, though,” Lucas said around a mouthful of tamale
“Gonna be tough I’ it down to Coronado”
Dominic didn’t wait to hear his brother’s protests
He ja and headed back to the cabin This route was a lot o But he’d been trying to hide his location
Not frooons
From Lara
Could he be a bigger jerk?
