Chapter 6

VERONICA’S POV

I had ran away from their home ignoring Stella's voice asking me to wait. I couldn't wait, never! When he'd picked her up and turned away, I'd seen that tattoo before…

The very one my brother had at his upper sleeve and the exact one on the waist the man who'd shot my brother that night had… just like Dominic.

Some part of me prayed it wasn't true but right there… reality stared me in the face like it was mocking me.

I crumbled to the ground, hugging myself tight as my tears flowed, my back on my door.

I have just betrayed Stephan, I had the best sex of my life with his murderer… I should scream but Elliot was asleep in the room beside us.

Stirring, I realized I'd slept off on the ground but I remained in position before moving a bit before pulling my broken self from the ground.

I winced at the soreness in between my legs and my eyes welled once more with tears of the taboo I'd committed.

Images of Dominic holding my throat and groaning as he pushed all of his curves member into me, touching every single place inside me, replayed and I shuddered.

I shook my head and went to shower, the water soothing my nerves as my mind relaxed and I thought of the next move.

Stepping out, I felt more alive as I picked up my phone while dressing at the same time to see a message from my ‘boss’:

House, now!

That was an hour ago but still, like a robot, I put on my jeans and simple polo, not bothering to apply any make up as I stepped out and hailed a cab.

Elliot was probably out because I didn't miss the note on the fridge, ‘ I'll be back soon’. That's how we were, happy but not entirely close.

I arrived at the penthouse, eyes staring straight into space even as the receptionist welcomed me and the elevator dinged, signifying we had arrived.

The man from the previous day was more welcoming as he nodded politely before the door swung open to reveal the very devil himself.

He stepped aside, no words, just Dominic being Dominic, unconsciously, I eye rolled and stepped in.

The moment I stepped in, my breathing seized as his hand wrapped around my neck, pulled me flush to him. I gasped and my smaller fingers flew on reflex to hold his hands.

“What the fuck, Veronica” his voice wasn't meant to sound so… demandingly hot… low and raspy, the instantly knew I was soaked down there but I mirrored his gaze.

“Say something damn it!” He barked and I was drawn out of my day dream.

“I…”

“Dominic… what are you doing?” Stella's soft voice called out, her footsteps rushing towards us as she stopped at the scene.

“Let her go, Dominic!” She scolded, tone hard and demanding but eyes wide with obvious fear.

He started at me like he would see my soul and let me go.

Stella rushed to me, accessing my neck and giving him a cold glare, “I'm sorry, Dominic isn't quite good with words”, her voice was low and her breathing showed how genuine she meant those words.

I glanced at Dominic he paced around, running a hand through his hair as he looked at us. Our eyes met and he looked… sad, then he stormed away.

I watched his retreating figure before looking at Stella whose eyes were already studying me. Taken aback, I blinked rapidly, looking away but as usual, she chuckled.

“You know… talking does a lot of good but all the answers we need always come from our eyes” she said more to herself than to me as she pulled me into a hug.

“Did we do something out of line… yesterday?” She was taking the words slow, cautious of stepping on my toes and I looked at her with soft eyes.

I looked at the woman before me and took in the long lashes that looked almost unnatural…downward-turned lips, blue eyes and jet black hair.

Something within me stirred and I forgot… I don't think I had anything in mind and as heat coursed through me, I leaned down caustiously, my hot breath, hitting her face…

Her eyes searched mine but she didn't pull away and before I could think, I took her lips in mine, deep and hard… she gasped, sending raw desire through me.

I deepened the kiss, holding her waist and kissing her like I needed to hate her…her hands found their way to my shoulder, just a feather-like touch… unsure before she held my shoulders and allowed me take from her lips want I wanted… no!

What I needed!

I broke away from the kiss, my hard face, softening as I pulled away dn look at her swollen lips.

She looked… scared? 

My brows turned upwards and I blinked as I tried to speak but words failed me. I cleared my throat.

“I'm sorry” but it came out as a whisper and I shook my head.

“I don't know what came over me… I was….”

Her lips crashed into mine and she moaned, angling her head every minute to suck on my lips as she moved me towards the couch and my legs moved before I could even think.

“Take me Vee” she breath against my lips and something in me snapped as I quickly turned us both around and took her lips, sucking,licking, tasting… it wasn't enough and then throat clearing broke us apart.

I pulled away from her while she stood up, smoothing her flowing dress, her head bowed low.

“I see there was a party going on and I didn't get an invite” Dominic’s deep voice broke the silence while I tried to contain my breathing.

“I'm so…”

“Quiet, Stella!” He cut her off with a hard tone, sending shivers down my spine.

“And you Veronica!” I looked up at him, to see him standing few steps away.

“You don't get to decide what time you show up and what time you leave, you know right?” He reminded me in a levelled tone but I knew, something feral was lurking.

My vagina spasm and I drew in a deep breath, nodding my head.

“You don't also come back, claiming my wife when you are supposed to be serving a punishment” his tone was low and I opened my mouth to say something but he continued.

“Since you both enjoy each others' company a lot, you might as well punish each other” he stated easily like a suggestion but looking to see Stella shaking her head, I knew it was a command.

“Now, you both go to the bedroom” he stayed and despite everything in me intending to fight, I found myself moving before I even realised it, my core clenching with every step I took.
