Be could hear the hint of grievance in Dominic''s voice. She resigned herself as she tugged at his suit sleeve, trying to appease him. "I was genuinely busy. I nned to call you after my shift. I still have half an hour left... Can you wait for me?" Dominic was stubborn as ever, and he didn''t relent. "I''ll wait at your ce. Come straight home after work."


    Be felt a bit thrown. When had she allowed him such freedom toe and go? Why did she always seem to be pulled along by him?


    If one said he was clueless in romance, he had this way of pulling someone in so effortlessly. However, if one called him a master of the game, that didn''t quite fit either because he had a knack for driving people crazy.


    As soon as her shift ended, Be drove home. She knew better than to keep Dominic waiting, especially when he was in one of his moods.


    The moment she opened the door, she found him on the couch, sulking and roughly handling her teddy bear pillow.


    She hurried over, grabbing it back protectively. "What are you doing? You''re going to wear it out."


    Dominic pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "People in your department say you and Ethan are... beyond friendly terms. No wonder he''s always so eager to help you out."


    She was awkwardly seated on hisp, struggling a bit. "You''re seriously gossipy. Just one quick walk around and you''ve already sniffed out the rumors? You''re wasting your talents in business... You should consider being a spy."


    Dominic stayed silent with a dark expression, looking as if he were seconds away from devouring her.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Be regained her calm and said bluntly, "We''ve broken up, remember? Who I see now is none of your business, Mr. Miller. Seriously, you''re too free... Can''t you find something better to think about?"


    Out of nowhere, Dominic leaned in and bit her shoulder. She yelped in surprise, "Are you a dog or something?"


    Not missing a beat, he warned her, "Stop bringing up the breakup. Did I say it was over? I''ve let you run wild for too long, haven''t I? As for Ethan, what''s he got that''s better than me? If you''re going to look for someone else, at least find someone better. Always go for a better one, not worse, understand?"


    Be couldn''t help butugh. "Where am I supposed to find someone better than you? It''d be like reaching for the stars."


    He raised a brow, pleased. "So... If I''m that good, shouldn''t you hold on tightly to me?


    She smirked, tugging at his tie yfully. "Like this?"


    He guided her hand downward. "Here..."


    Be blushed and quickly pulled away. "You''re shameless! I''m exhausted... I''m going to take a shower and go to bed. You can go home if you''ve nothing better to do."

    He stood up too, loosening his tie and slipping off his jacket. "I''m staying over tonight."


    Be felt a warning bell go off in her mind and frowned. "I don''t like this..."


    He stepped closer, leaning in just enough that his lips brushed her forehead. "Rx. You take forever in the shower anyway. I''ll go first."


    As he disappeared into the bathroom, Be put her hands to her flushed cheeks. This guy... He was the one nting all these thoughts in her mind, then acting like she was overthinking it.


    When they finally settled down for the night, Dominic was surprisingly well-behaved, as if she was the one who overthought it. When the lights went out, he pulled her off the floor and back onto the bed. "Sleeping on the floor is ufortable. Just sleep here."


    Lying next to him, Be couldn''t ignore the change in his body. She doubted he had nothing on his mind.


    "Fine. But if you can''t keep your hands to yourself, I''m calling you out on it. Whoever makes a move first... is a dog."
