She was pretty sure it shouldn’t have ended here and there was more to come. Dominic raised his eyebrow and his provocative smile reappeared, “Was that not enough for you?”Not enough?! Rose’s cheeks blushed and she stared at him, feeling accused, “You know that wasn’t what I had meant.”Dominic ruffled the crown of her head where he still felt that his scent had covered her as how her sweet rosey scent had wrapped him too.“Of course I know but
