Chapter 3

STELLA'S POV

I held her hand in mine, my heart racing at the contact. I have had interest in Veronica for a long while now and I had told my husband about it.

He had simply stated that when people tasted money, they became something else and his assistant couldn't be any different.

I know, I know how twisted this all sounds but I wanted V so badly and the fact that my husband didn't judge me for it made things easier but he was simple when he delivered his instruction; don't go falling in love and that was the issue.

I wasn't sure of what exactly I felt for V… obsession, lust, desire? Name it. I loved Dominic so much and I loved how over protective he was of me, even going to the point of bending his rules for me.

But now, the woman I had desired for so long was here hand in hand with me and I was both happy and scared.

Happy that I had gotten her, scared that I should have gone about it the proper way, twisted yeah? Yes! I know.

I pushed open the door to my husband and I’s bedroom and turned to look at her. She hesistated and I slowly drew in a deep breath. 

I totally understood and I was willing to play by her rules too but she didn't know she had a right to her own rules, did I want her to?

Her brows furrowed and her eyes stared at the bedroom long and hard before she took calculated steps inside.

I wasn't quick to shut the door so she didn't feel trapped. Dominic was nowhere to be found and I wondered where he had gone to.

He was supposed to be here to guide me, panic coursed through me and she must have felt because she turned to look at me with soft eyes which were slightly in slits at the edges.

Asides from Dominic no one and I mean no one had ever look at me so… thoughtfully before.

“Hey hey hey, breathe….” She dropped my hand and took a step closer to me, attempting to lift her hand but fighting against it, her brows slightly furrowing and eyes, searching.

I wanted her to hold me and… she did, pulling me into a hug.

“You don't have to right now, I understand this is a lot for you and you might…” she pulled away with an amused look, lips in a side smile that reached her eyes.

“Oh please, like you aren't dying to have me” she joked and we both laughed before silence reigned once more but this time a comfortable one.

“You could use the bathroom” I suggested and she nodded as she headed to the door I'd nodded towards, stopping halfway.

“You know, Stella… you're not as confident as you look” she said with a small wink and headed to the bathroom, shutting the door without sparing me another glance.

I couldn't stop the smile that played out on my lips, she figured me out without even trying too much.

I left the room to the guest rooma and met Dominic there, already clad in a robe. He smiled at me and I did same, letting out a sigh.

“You're overthinking again… enjoy the moment” he said in a hush tone walking towards me and craddling my face in both palms.

“I'm so obsessed about you and I don't want you getting scared of loosing…”

“I'm not scared of loosing you to her… I'm scared that when the time comes will WE be able to let her go?” I cut him off, searching his eyes and his brows furrowed before he wet his bottom lip.

“How about we decide when we get there? She has a choice too, you know?” He breathed against my face and I nodded.

He was right.

I let out a sigh and kissed him quickly to go freshen up. The excitement didn't let me spend so long as I came out clad in a robe similar to my husband's.

His eyes darkened when he took me in from the rim of the glass he was sipping from.

Heat flooded my insides and I blushed. It's been seven years together and he still had the same effect from the beginning with me.

“Let's see how nasty things could get Mrs. Vaughn” he said I'm a baritone, gruffy voice and I hummed, not able to form words, walking over to him while he held the door open.

We went to the room and we met V pacing around, freezing the moment she saw us, her cheeks tinting red.

She was so cute.

Her eyes looked to Dominic and then to me before she looked away.

I looked to my husband and he nodded towards her. I approached her, seeing her chest rise and fall from the robe. I couldn't resist, drinking her in with my eyes.

She was ginger haired, pointed nose, freckles sprinkled on both cheeks and lips so plump, one could never get enough.

I had been dying to have a taste of those lips.

Her eyes looked dark, yearning, wanting and her lips looked slightly parted making my want increase but there was something else… uncertainty? Fear?

I stopped before her and we shared an intense look before I closed the space between us, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her flush against me as our lips met.

We both moaned but she returned the kiss, eager, unsure but wanting, just like me.

She tilted her neck, deepening the kiss and her hands wrapped around my neck, playing with the nape of my hair, making me turn jelly.

I didn't want to but I did, opening my eyes to search for Dominic who remained where I'd left him, his eyes dark with lust meeting mine as he began circling us very calculatingly.

Something about me snapped, like I wanted to please him so I held her chin and kissed her like I'd never imagined.

Dominic hummed and she must have heard it too because her hand ran dowm my robe clad sides and I arched more into her.

We broke away from the kiss, gasping loudly for breath, our  eyes locked on each others, our lips parted.

And then she let her eyes skim through my robe clad self before returning to my eyes. On impulse, we sort each other again, our lips meeting as we sucked deep.

My tongue sort entrance and she allowed it as we wrestled for dominance which she won.

Her tongue wandered every part of my mouth, sucking on my tongue and swirling it around while I just held her head in place letting her do me.

Then we broke apart again, my eyes landing on Dominic whose robe belt had come undone, my eyes darkening.

She turned around and saw it too but she didn't have any expression on her face but her jaw ticked.

I turned her face to me with my palm softly against her chin, slowly, I let my hand glide down and she visibly shivered.

I smirked.
