Author’s POV
Grace finished reading the book, she was so intrigued in books that she had her lunch and dinner in the library itself.
It was already late, she could see the darkness out of the window. A few guards were petroling outside, making her believe that it’s hard for her to escape.
She placed the book back in its place and decided to head back to Dom’s Room.
She saw Bella in the living room with little Alexandra on her shoulder.
“Oh you were still there”
Bella asked.
“Yepp… Interesting book!”
Grace replied.
She noticed dark circles under Bella’s eyes like she haven’t slept for a night or two.
“You look exhausted”
Grace said.
“Do I?”
Bella sighed.
“Actually Alex is out of town and I don’t know why but Alexandra is crying a lot… She didn’t let me sleep at all… Last night I cried, He wasn’t there and she is crying continuously… I am scared.”
Grace looked at the sleeping girl on her shoulder.
“Motherhood is exhausting”
“Yes, it is! But i don’t mind…”
Bella smiled.
“Because whenever I see her smile, i forget my all pain…”
“Your husband should help you in this… He is responsible for his child too.”
Grace said.
“He is helping me.”
Bella said in defending tone.
“Actually that’s the reason why i can’t handle her… She is used to Alex and probably missing him…”
“Ohh okay then”
Grace nodded in agreement.
“How did you end up here?”
Bella looked at her confused.
“I mean i can tell that you are not from mafia family, i can tell that…”
Grace said.
“Because girls in Mafia need to follow certain way of living and i don’t see that hidden codes in you… My brother lecture me a lot on this…”
“I am not from mafia family, Technically! my biological father is Mafia but i was away from him my whole life.”
Bella answered.
“It’s a long story but Alex and I fell in love so here I am.”
“Wow! And his family accepted you?”
Grace asked curiously.
“I mean you were outsider.”
“This family is chill”
Bella chuckled.
“Like no rigid rules and all… Cool means really cool!… Except my father in law and Dominick…”
She rolled her eyes.
“My mother in law is such a sweetheart, Raan is like my sister… Mr. Marino is little grumpy but His wife has it in control…”
“And Dominick?”
Grace asked.
“Why is he grumpy?”
Bella sighed.
“He is little serious type… You know, perfection freak… But he is not that bad… He is just used to have his way with people so he gets angry when someone disrespects him… And after that accident__”
Bella stopped when she realised that she can’t tell her about his accident.
“Accident?”
Grace frowned.
Bella got saved when her daughter started crying again.
“Oh god!.. excuse me Grace… Looks like i have to call Alex again…”
Bella excused herself and walked towards her room.
Grace sighed and went back to Dom’s room.
She entered and saw Dom on the bed, leaning against the bedpost. He was shirtless and was covered with blanket from waist.
His platinum chain was glowing under dim light coming from the window and it was looking so manly on his chest.
She shifted in her place when he looked at her but didn’t say anything.
Grace decided to ignore his presence and walked towards the washroom to freshen up.
Dom was silent whole time, he let her freshen up and be comfortable beside him, in his bed.
“Did you finish the book?”
He finally broke the silence.
Grace covered herself with the blanket and looked at him while holding on her pillow.
“Yes…”
“Good! You can read books again for the first time…”
He sighed like he is saying something else and thinking something else.
“What your fiance will think if she learnt that i am sleeping in her place.”
Grace asked.
“I am not liable to answer anyone…”
Was his response.
“God bless the girl who will be interested in you…”
Grace shook his head.
“You are not interested in me?”
Dom looked at her through corner of his eyes.
“You literally stripped in front of me…”
“Yep”
Grace agreed.
“Because i want to fuck you!”
“So bold of you to say that.”
Dom chuckled.
“Because i know love is not my thing… Don’t ask me the reason.”
She stared at the ceiling blankly.
“So you want to fuck me!?”
Dom asked.
“I wanted to buy not anymore.”
She replied.
“What changed?”
He asked looking at her.
“You are engaged.”
She replied.
“I am not interested in engaged men… Sorry not my type…”
“Is that why you broke your engagement with that stupid man…”
Dom asked casually.
“What did you made think that he is stupid?”
She asked.
“Because he chose love over money.”
He shook his head.
“You were golden egg… Sister of Russian mafia king.”
Grace rolled her eyes at his thoughts.
“Not everyone wants power and money… Some people value love also…”
“Hmm..”
He looked at her.
“Do you believe in love?..”
Grace looked at him.
“I don’t owe you this answer…”
She replied and was about to turned around but gasped when Dom grabbed her arm and easily dragged her towards him.
Grace gulped when he got on top of her and pinned her down with his body.
“You owe everything to me…”
He whispered on her lips.
“You are under my mercy”
Grace looked at his lips as her heart started hammering. He was shirtless on top of her and his cold chain which was falling on her cleavage was making her shiver.
“As you said Mr. Marino…”
Grace looked into his eyes confidently despite of all her internal Chaos.
“We should mind our limits…”
Dom’s hand slide around her waist, ignoring her words.
“We set our own limits… Depends how far you can go…”
His words blurred when her mind focused on his hand movements. She gulped when he placed his hand on her thigh.
His another hand played with the strap of her top.
“You are engaged, Dominick!”
She breathed out.
Dom didn’t like her resistance.
“Fuck, I am not!”
He slammed his lips on hers, not able to control himself anymore.
Grace was shocked but she quickly recovered and threw off all the Boundaries she had set for herself.
Her hands flew around his shoulder as she pulled him closer for kiss. He was already dominating each and every corner of her mouth.
Her core started throbbing when he clutched her hair and tilted her head backward to get access of her neck.
Grace gasped when he sucked on her sweet spot. She couldn’t understand how he found it so easily, like he knows her body.
Dominick raised his eyebrows in amusement when she moaned at his one perfect guess of her weak spot.
Her toes curled on his calves when his hair tickled on her neck while he was Busy sucking on her neck.
She threw her head back and moaned when his hardness touched her core despite of the barriers of their clothes.
Dom’s body was filled with shivers and goosebumps. Her moans where making him excited.
He tried to sleep with another women after his accident and memory loss but he couldn’t connect with anyone. He couldn’t make himself touch them.
But with Grace he didn’t even hesitate and what surprised him the most that his body was responding to her touches.
He couldn’t understand what is his connections with her. Why her touches are affecting him so much.
His every assumption was failing him.
Grace started to unbuckle his belt but he grabbed her hand and stopped her.
Grace looked at him confused, hint of disappointment flashing from her eyes.
“Stop!”
He breathed out and pulled away from her.
Grace’s face turned red with embarrassment when he got out of the bed. She couldn’t understand anything.
Dom grabbed his shirt and walked out of the bedroom without saying anything.
And Grace sat there in shock.
