All Chapters of Pleasure Under His Command : Chapter 31 - Chapter 35

It was a Friday night, and Izzy was getting ready for her dinner with Adrian. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time … soft curls, light makeup, and a simple black dress that hugged her body in all the right places.She told herself it wasn’t a date, just dinner with a friend. But deep down, she knew it was more than that.Adrian had been charming, funny, and respectful since the retreat. He made her laugh and didn’t make her feel small or confused unlike Dominic, who’d been cold all week and then suddenly texted her every night as if nothing had happened.Tonight, she decided she was done with mixed signals.When Adrian arrived, he smiled at her warmly.“You look beautiful, Izzy,” he said as he held the car door open for her.She blushed lightly. “Thank you, Adrian. You’re looking good too.”He laughed softly. “I try.”Meanwhile, across town, Dominic sat in his car staring at the message on his phone …Izzy: “Not available. Out for dinner.”Something about that text made hi

Izzy barely slept that night.Even after sending the message... Let’s do this.she’d stared at her phone for a long time,waiting for his reply.But nothing came.By morning, she told herself it didn’t matter. It was just sex and she needed a sex life. For now, she wasn't going to think about anything.She had work to focus on.She got dressed early, choosing a soft cream blouse and a pencil skirt. Nothing too bold, but still neat and put-together. Her makeup was light, just enough to hide how tired she looked.When she arrived at the office, the usual morning chatter filled the air. Her colleague greeted her with a smile, asking about the weekend, about the retreat.Izzy smiled back, pretending everything was normal.But inside, she was restless.She hadn’t seen Dominic.His office door stayed closed most of the morning, and he had mentioned he’d be out for a meeting downtown.Good, she thought. Maybe distance would help her breathe.Still, every time her phone buzzed with a new emai

Izzy couldn’t sleep.She had tossed and turned for almost an hour, staring at the ceiling, listening to the faint hum of the night outside. Her mind kept circling back to him... the way he’d looked at her before she went to bed, the sound of his voice when he said Stay here.Finally, she gave up. She slipped on her robe and stepped quietly into the hallway. The house was dim, lit only by the soft glow of lights under the counters.That was when she saw him.Dominic stood by the kitchen counter, shirtless, drinking water straight from a glass. The muscles in his back shifted slightly as he turned toward her. The sight made her heart skip.He set the glass down. “Couldn’t sleep?”Izzy shook her head. “No. You?”“Same,” he said, voice low. “My head’s too full.”She walked closer, folding her arms as if to hide her nerves. “You always think about work even at night?”“Not tonight,” he said, his gaze steady on her. “Tonight my thoughts are… different.”Her breath caught. “Different how?”H
