The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 10

Vanessa

This shouldn’t be happening right now. Even though I know exactly what this is as he looks at my lips. I’m so caught off guard that I don’t react in time.

As I feel his warm breath against my lips while our eyes lock, he places his hand on the back of my neck. The moment he tilts his head. I tell myself to take a few steps back but something tells me it’ll just be a simple kiss, just like yesterday, with only our lips coming in contact,

The moment he places his lips on mine, I’m in for a shock when he parts his lips, his tongue seeking access to mine.

He brings his other hand down to my sensitive waist and that instantly makes me part my lips with a gasp.

The next thing I know, I’m kissing him back as his tongue dominates mine. This is such an unexpected turn of events.

Now with both his hands around waist, I’m trying so hard not to moan against his lips. He’s a jerk, but he’s touching me and kissing me in a way that makes it hard to resist.

Part of me even wants to believe it’s all just a dream, but I can clearly feel his warm breath and wet tongue against mine.

I even feel my nipples harden and the more he kisses me, the more they come in contact with his chest.

Is this all just part of the acting? I don’t even know the answer to that

When I feel him pull away from my lips, I’m so confused with my racing heart that I don’t even open my eyes.

Why did he do this? It wasn’t part of the plan, at least not the tongue part.

As much as I hate to admit it, the kiss itself was sensual.

While I keep my eyes shut just a little bit longer, I hear him snicker so I open my eyes, wondering what’s going on with him.

The moment our eyes meet, he looks at me scornfully as he shakes his head with crossed arms.

“Oh, Vanessa, you’re so pathetic.”

I crease my forehead. “What?”

“Just look at you now, so into this moment. This is what you were waiting for, right?

“What are you talking about?”

“This is exactly the type of moment you desired. You wanted me to hold you, especially last night.”

“Last night?”

“Don’t play dumb. I heard you crying last night and it went on for a long time.”

As soon as he mentions that, my heart aches. Does he know about my mother and my nightmares? I never told him about that Did he find out from my father? No, he wouldn’t tell Dominic without talking to me about it.
