Chapter 47 Ruin Your Fun

Ignoring Bella's protests, Dominic rolled over, pinning her beneath him and securing her hands above her head. When she tried to close her legs, he caught on and forcefully wedged his knee between them.

When he leaned in to claim her lips, she turned her face away, causing his lips to land on her pale neck instead. Bella felt a sharp pain, almost as if her skin had been scraped.

She knew how much courage it had taken her to get to this point, and she had no intention of going back to how things used to be.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

With that thought in mind, she called out, "Dominic! I don't like this! I've wanted nothing to do with you since I left Miller Manor!"

The man above her stiffened for a moment before letting out a cold chuckle. "Whether we're done or not isn't for you to decide!"

Her petite frame appeared even more fragile beneath the man's strong physique. As she struggled, she broke out in a sweat, and her cheeks flushed crimson. Her strength was slowly waning, and she didn't even realize when her clothes had been completely stripped away.

Bella could feel Dominic's hips pressing down hard... Her body tensed up, and her breath hitched in her throat.

All of a sudden, Leonard's voice rang out from outside.

"Dominic! Dominic, I can't sleep! Let's go out for a late-night snack!"

"Dominic, what are you doing? I know you're not asleep yet!"

"Dominic, come out! If you don't I'm coming in!"

Dominic took a deep breath before pulling away from Bella. "Fuck..."

Worried that Leonard might actually barge in, Bella hurriedly wrapped the blanket around herself.

Did Dominic just curse? Was she hearing things? This was the first time she had ever heard such words come out of his mouth.

Knowing Leonard wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted, Dominic, despite being sexually frustrated and exhausted, still went out with him.

Before heading out, Leonard peeked through the crack in the door with a cheeky smile and asked Bella, "You probably don't want to come with us, right? Do you want us to bring you something back?"

Bella shook her head vigorously. "No, thanks; you guys go ahead! I have work tomorrow." As soon as she heard the front door close and everything quieted down, she breathed a sigh of relief and got up to take a shower. She knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep when her skin was damp with sweat.

After all that tossing and turning, she fell asleep soundly. The next morning, as the sunlight streamed in and woke her, she opened her eyes and immediately saw Dominic sleeping peacefully beside her.

For a brief moment, she couldn't bring herself to look away. His face was so flawlessly sculpted that even the best plastic surgeons would be in awe.

He held her in his arms, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It made her feel as though this peaceful morning was exactly how things were meant to be.

As she watched him sleep from such a close distance, she began to doubt herself. Perhaps her feelings for him were once just a superficial attraction to his appearance-something that truly wasn't worthy of his attention.

It seemed like he and Leonard had gotten home late last night, as he showed no signs of awakening. Bella carefully slipped out of his arms and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Leonard, who was still half asleep, walked out of the master bedroom just as she arrived. " Hang on, let me use the bathroom first..."

Bella noticed he had reverted to his usual carefree self after taking off his suit and didn't find it awkward. She simply turned around and headed out the door. "Hurry up."

Leonard abruptly leaned in, narrowing his eyes at her neck. "Ah, now I see why Dominic seemed so upset when we went out for a late-night snack last night. Did I ruin your fun? Were you two just going to get it on?"
