LOGINEmily POVMy heart was still racing from everything when the phone got turned off.The room felt different now, like all the warmth had been sucked right out of it. I sat up slowly, pulling the sheets around me, watching his face, the way his jaw tightened, the way his eyes stayed on the screen even after the call had ended."Dominic."He didn't answer immediately."Dom, say something."He set the phone down on the nightstand slowly, then turned to look at me, his expression unreadable. "You know who that was?""That was John.""Yeah." He nodded once. "That was John."I didn't know what to say to that so I said nothing, just watched him as he stood up and walked to the window, hands pressed against the frame, looking out at nothing."He called Ethan his son," he said quietly."I know.""Ethan is my son, Emily.""I know that. You don't have to tell me."He turned around then, and his eyes weren't angry exactly, more like decided. "Text him."I blinked. "What?""Text John. Right now. Te
Dominic POV My eyes stayed locked on her, that shiny ring catching the light on her finger like it belonged there forever. My fiancée. God, I loved calling her that.I moved fast and pushed her back until her knees hit the bed. She dropped onto the mattress, eyes wide and heavy breathing . I grabbed the bottom of her dress and pulled it up, over her head in one smooth motion, letting it fall to the floor."Clothes off, baby," I said, voice low and rough with need. "I want nothing between us tonight. Just you and me."Her fingers trembled a little as she worked on my shirt buttons. I got impatient and ripped the rest open, then shoved my pants and boxers down fast. My cock sprang free, thick and hard, already leaking at the tip.I reached for her bra next, unclasping it and tossing it aside. Then I hooked my fingers into her panties and slid them down her legs. A thin string of her wetness stretched before it broke. Her pussy looked so pretty, all swollen and glistening, lips slig
Dominic smiled at me, that slow easy smile that always made my brain stop working, and right on cue a door I hadn't even noticed opened from the side of the suite.Sophie walked out first.Then Theo."Oh my god," I breathed.Sophie walked straight to Dominic and took Ethan from his arms like they had rehearsed it, settling him gently against her shoulder without waking him. Theo clapped Dominic once on the back, gave me a quick wink and stepped to the side.Dominic turned back to me, held out his hand, "come here."I put my hand in his and he walked me further into the room, past the candles, past the roses, until I was standing right in the center of it all where the petals were the thickest and the candlelight was the warmest.I turned back to look at Sophie, then at Theo, then back at Sophie again."You were all plotting," I said, "the whole day, Sophie showing up at the boutique, the urgent thing that came up, you leaving so fast," I looked at her, "you never even called me this m
Emily POVI woke up reaching for Dominic and found nothing but cold sheets.I sat up, looked around, no Dominic. I checked my phone, no texts either. I got up, showered, threw on something comfortable and went straight to Ethan's room to wake him up for breakfast.His bed was empty.My heart jumped for a second until I saw the small folded note sitting on his pillow. I picked it up.*"Don't worry about Ethan, I have him. Enjoy your day baby. Love, D."*I laughed out loud in the empty room, pressing the note to my chest. Free day for mummy, let's go.I padded down to the kitchen still smiling and then I stopped dead in my tracks."What in the world."The whole kitchen was decorated, roses everywhere, soft pink and white, little fairy lights strung around. On the counter was a breakfast tray that looked like something straight off Pinterest. Pancakes drizzled in caramel syrup with a scoop of ice cream melting on top, bacon, chocolate chip waffles, a Starbucks cup with my name on it in h
Dominic POVI waited, watching Emily stare at her phone like it might explode. She was shaking, actually shaking, her whole body tense up."Em, who is it?"She looked at me, then back at her phone, then at me again. Her face was doing this thing where she looked worried, scared and guilty all at once."I need to tell you something.""Okay, I'm listening."She took a deep breath, her hands twisting together nervously, "when I left New York, I ended up in Miami with nowhere to stay."I felt my chest tighten, guilt already creeping in."There was this guy, John, he saw me crying, bought me food, got me a hotel room, helped me get on my feet."Fuck."He was there when Ethan was born, cut the umbilical cord, held my hand through the whole thing, helped me raise him for five years."Every word felt like a knife to my chest."We were together, we were happy, at least I thought we were, until he cheated on me with his ex, Sandra and got her pregnant. That's why I came back to New York."I pul
Emily POVThe fun weekend is finally over and now I’m back to work.“I wish I could turn back the hands of time” I thought as I listened to the client in front of me."So you want five completely unique pieces, all exclusive to you, meaning we never reproduce the design again.""Exactly," Mrs. Chen said, leaning back in her chair, "I want something no one else in the world will ever have.""I can do that, but exclusivity comes at a premium price.""Money isn't an issue, I just want perfection.""Then you've come to the right place, give me two weeks and I'll have sketches ready for you to review.""Perfect, thank you Emily."We shook hands and she was about to leave when my temporary secretary, which Rebecca brought to me since she’ll be unavailable for a month knocked on the door, the girl looked nervous as hell."Ms. Hart, you have a visitor.""I do? Who is it?""He didn't give a name, just said it was urgent."I frowned, I didn't have any more meetings scheduled today."Send them i
Dominic POVMy phone rang just as I was about to head out for a run, I picked it up without checking the caller ID."Hello?""Daddy can we go get ice cream now? Mommy said yes."My heart literally stopped,"Really? Your mom said yes?""Yes, she said I could call you and ask."I couldn't stop smilin
Emily POVI finally nodded, my throat felt tight, "I have to go, this is all too much right now.""I understand," Dominic said softly, "but Em, if you change your mind about letting me take Ethan for ice cream or anything really, just have Sophie reach out to me okay?"I gave him a small smile, bar
Suddenly a car horn disrupted the whole vibe and I was back to my senses."Uhm, I'll... I'll get going. Bye." I ran into my car without sparing him another glance. I quickly reversed back and zoomed off the parking lot.All through the drive my mind kept spinning back to the almost kissing scene we
Emily POVI turned around slowly, my heart already knowing who it was before my eyes confirmed it, Dominic stood there in a perfectly tailored suit, looking like he owned the world."Mister nice man," Ethan screamed and before I could stop him he ran straight to Dominic.Dominic bent down and caugh
