Author’s POV
Grace woke up in the morning and found herself alone in the bedroom. She didn’t realise when she fell asleep last night and where did Dominick slept.
She sighed and got up from the bed happily because she can feel her legs now.
She wrapped the bedsheet around her body and walked towards the washroom.
She can smell Dominick everywhere in the room.
She raised her eyebrows impressed when she entered the washroom. It was black asthetic.
She turned on the shower and grabbed shampoo bottle from the shelf.
“Wow!”
She was impressed by the brand.
She showered and wore the robe which was too big for Her. She walked towards the closet and and she again got the familiar feeling. She shook her head thinking it’s just a stupid thought.
She started looking for the hair dryer and opened the drawer with instinct. She frowned when she saw the dryer, confused that how can she find it so easily.
She dried her head and kept the dryer in its place. She had no clothes other than robe so she looked at his closet thinking he might have arranged clothes for her.
But to her disappointment she didn’t see any women clothes.
She looked at his branded collection amused, even small tie pin was expensive.
She trailed fingers on his shirt collection and smirked when she got an idea to irritate Dominick.
On other hand Dominick came back and turned on the air conditioner while wiping his sweat, he was in the gym. He looked at the bed and frowned when he didn’t see Grace.
His eyes snapped towards the window which needs his access to open, door was also locked, there was no possibility that she can escape.
He looked at the closet door when it opened. He clenched his jaw when heat rushed towards his cock.
Grace was standing in front of him in his white shirt. She came out and stopped when she saw Dominick.
His eyes traveled on her body, he can clearly see her nipples through thin shirt. She haven’t button up the upper buttons properly and he can see her cleavage.
Shirt was hiding her till upper thigh and that’s it, everything was open to his imagination.
He shifted on his legs when he felt himself getting hard.
Grace smirked at his reaction. She was annoyed by the fact that he was trying to ignore her so she decided to take little revenge. She wants to know if he is really not attracted her or he is doing it because of some other reasons.
It’s clear that Grace is attracted to his body but she isn’t the to beg for it, she likes to tempt people. And after last night the way he ignored her, her ego got hurt.
“Take off my shirt…”
He ordered.
Grace suppressed her smirk and walked towards him. Dominick released low frustrated breath when she stood in his personal space. He can smell her fresh hair.
“I don’t have clothes to wear…”
She said innocently.
“I had to borrow yours… But if you don’t like you can take it back…”
Dominick was not going to fall for her trap. For his she is just his captive who is beautiful and irresistible but he is a tough stone. He knows that he shouldn’t touch her.
“You will not touch my clothes…”
He warned leaning closer to her face.
“You want me to take it off?”
She asked with her innocent look and opened the button.
Dom clenched his jaw when she did that, not because he was angry , because he was already getting turn on. She was looking tempting.
Before she opens another button he clutched it in his fist and jerked her forward.
Their lips where few inches away as he glared at her.
“Whatever you are trying to do, it’very dangerous… Stop it!”
He gritted.
Grace looked at the throbbing veins on his sweaty forehead and smirked.
“You think i am scared of dangers?…”
Dom closely examined her fearless face, her confidence was impressive. Girls usually shake like a leaf in front of him but this girl was different.
“Perhaps it looks like you are avoiding dangers.”
She said amused.
He leaned closer to her face, making her feel his hot breath. Her heart started racing when he looked at her lips.
“Don’t challange me!”
He warned in his deep husky voice.
“I would love to see the consequences.”
She replied looking at his lips like she is inviting him to kiss her.
“Stop it!”
His voice thickened.
“Are you telling me or yourself.”
She looked into his eyes confidently.
Dominick wanted to slam her against the wall and fuck that attitude out of her but he was controlling himself. For him she is his enemy and he can’t trust her.
He let her shirt go with jerk and she stumbled back.
“That was rude”
She huffed while fixing her collar.
“Fuck! You crushed two buttons… What are you, Hulk?”
She groaned looking at broken buttons.
Her cleavage was full on display.
“Change it! Now!”
He clenched his jaw looking at her ‘nothing left to imagine’ body.
“Then give me fucking clothes…”
She replied.
Bedroom door suddenly got slammed open and Grace quickly hide behind Dominick, not wanting to show someone else her Sexy look. Her buttons was open too.
Dominick felt weird erge to hide her behind him, he grabbed her arm and stepped in front of her so no one could see her. He couldn’t understand why.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
Dominick asked looking at Bella.
Bella was panting like she has ran here.
“Bella, stop!”
Alex came behind her.
Bella tried to look behind Dominick but he didn’t let her.
“Bella this is not the right time”
Alex grabbed her hand and tried to take her out.
Grace peaked from behind and saw Bella and Alex. She couldn’t recognise her so decided to ignore.
“What the fuck is happening?”
Dom asked.
Alex sighed.
“Umm… She just wanted to see Grace so she can order clothes for her…”
“Finally someone is thinking about it…”
Grace said and tried to step in front of them but Dom grabbed her arm and pushed her back to her place.
“Don’t you dare move”
He warned.
“Alex, go out!”
Alex raised his eyebrows amused. He can see that old possesive Dom.
“Fine, i am not interested in her anyway… I am a married man.”
He chuckled and walked out.
“Uff… What’s wrong with you…”
Grace pushed his hand away and rubbed her arm.
Bella’s eyes watered when she finally saw Grace. Same girl whom she considered dead. Her friend, her innocent Grace!
“Okay, so you are going to arrange clothes right?”
Grace looked at Bella.
“Make sure it’s__”
Bella couldn’t control herself and hugged her.
“Oh my god!”
Grace looked at her confused when she hugged her.
Bella quickly wiped her tears.
“Sorry, i am dealing with postpartum so i can’t control my feelings… You are our guest now!”
Bella chuckled nervously.
Dominick frowned at Bella.
“Okay, understandable”
Grace said confused by her reaction.
“I want comfortable clothes…”
“Done!”
Bella smiled happily.
“I’ll send you one dress for today until we get whole wardrobe for you…”
“No need… She is here for hardly two days…”
Dom interrupted.
“We never know”
Bella gave him fake smile and looked at Grace.
“If you want you can come down… We’ll have coffee together.”
Bella said.
Grace smiled.
“Ohh… I would love___”
“No!”
Dom declared and Grace frowned at him.
“Excuse me!”
She looked at him offended.
“You are excused.”
Dom rolled his eyes and started walking away.
“I am doing whatever I feel like…”
Grace replied sharply.
“Don’t give a fuck about your orders…”
Bella’s eyes widened when she heard it from Grace’s mouth. She realised that Alex was right, this is not the Grace they know.
Dom stopped and turned around, Grace crossed her hands over her chest.
“Step out of this room…”
He said slowly but threateningly.
“I challenge you.”
“Watch me!”
Grace challenged back.
She turned around to leave but was jerked back before she steps ahead.
