208 Irresistible Forces she was only human but they wouldn’t listen. “Camry meant everything to me, Ryder.” “Yes, like I said, she was your best friend.” Dominic’s eyes went cold. “She was my wife.” Ryder didn’t say anything and Dominic was grateful for the man’s silence. It was short-lived. “That baby is going to need a father, Nick.” Dominic didn’t have to ask what baby he was talking about. “He or she is going to have a father.” “Yes, a part-time one. Marcello was a full-time father to you. How can you cheat your own child out of having what you had?” Before Dominic could give Ryder a blazing retort, Ryder quickly said, “We’re here. I’m going to let you out at the curb so you can be there when Ms. Steele walks off the plane since I believe that’s what you want.” Dominic wouldn’t argue with him about that, because that was what he wanted. Taylor saw Dominic the minute she walked through the gate. He was standing there, tall and as handsome as any man had a right to be. And he was waiting for her. A shiver went up her spine when at that moment she realized the sexual chemistry between them was still there, even in the crowded airport. She continued walking toward him and he moved toward her.

Moments later, knowing they were probably causing a scene, he pulled back and took her hand in his. “Come on, let’s get out of here,” he said gruffly. It didn’t take long for them to claim her luggage. Ryder was there with the car waiting for them the moment they stepped outside the terminal. Once Dominic had her settled in the backseat with him, ignoring Ryder, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her again, long and leisurely. When he finally released her mouth he whispered against her moist lips, “Come to the hotel with me and let me fix you breakfast.” She took a deep breath. “You’re cooking?” He smiled. “Yes.” “Then there’s no way I’ll turn you down.” He gave her a soft chuckle. “I was hoping you would say that.” It was late afternoon before Taylor finally entered her apartment. After Dominic had prepared breakfast—and he’d done a good job of it, she would have to admit—they took a walk around the grounds of the hotel, which eventually led to Rock Creek Park. It was a beautiful day for a walk and she couldn’t get over just how attentive Dominic had been to her.
