When Dominic smirks at me. I hold my breath, wondering what’s going through his head. I’m hoping he doesn’t point it out that I was staring at his lips, because I definitely was.
For a few more seconds, he says nothing but only stares at me with the same smirk. It makes me so nervous that I can’t even look at him anymore.
But even after I look to the side, I can still feel his eyes on me. He’s doing this on purpose.
When I can’t take it anymore, I attempt to push him away since my body’s trapped by the palms of his hands resting on the
bed.
As soon as I hold onto his wrists, the palms of his hands slip on the silky sheets, making him fall right on top of me. The pressure of his body against mine extends to my calf, which hits against the edge of the bed and I hiss loudly.
He instantly gets off and I groan
“It hurts,” I whimper.
“Try not to move,” he says firmly, crouching down right in front of me.
The moment I sit up and look down at him, he holds onto my leg and says, “Don’t do shit like that again”
“I didn’t do anything
“You were trying to push me away?”
“Yes, because you.
“Because I what? Go on! Say it” He’s mocking me right now. It’s clear from his smirk.
Too embarrassed to even say it, I press my lips together and look away. ||
“I better take you back downstairs to your precious mother–in–law
He scoops me up bridal style again and takes me downstairs using the elevator.
With my hand resting on his chest for support, I feel his racing heart, which is similar to mine.
I can’t believe he caught me staring at his lips. As much as I don’t want to think about it, that moment just sticks with me. I can’t wait to be out of this small space with him.
When we’re back downstairs, he places me next to my mother–in–law again and we instantly begin to chat about everything that I like about the house.
Dominic sits right next to me, firmly holding my hand like a supportive husband. He holds my hand for so long that this almost feels genuine.
“Now that you’re back in town, I can give you my present.” My mother–in–law says. “I want you to come with me and see it with your own eyes.
Tru so curious that I lean toward her with enthusiasm and say, “Then take me right now!
“Not in this condition, my child. You won’t be able to stomp your feet the way I’ve imagined you.”

“Do I get a wedding gift too? Dominic chimes in.
“You, my son, get nothing. This is only for my daughter–in–law. She’s special”
He scoffs but she takes no offense. It’s because she assumes he’s just being playful with it, but I know he meant that scoff.
“Why didn’t you ever go into photography, my son? The pictures were amazing! We would’ve gotten more of these had you still been on that Island. You two look so good together.
After she takes out her phone and starts scrolling, I can’t help but feel nervous and still embarrassed. I even feel my cheeks burn, especially when I think about what happened upstairs
Once she starts going through the pictures she liked the most, including some clips, I can’t look away when it’s the one of Dominic and I kissing passionately. The taste of his lips is still so fresh in my mind. I didn’t expect to feel that way, but I did and now it seems like Lean’t forget.
When I look up at him, I hold my breath when I realize he’s been staring down at me.
Quickly, I clear my throat as I look away from him, paying attention only to my mother–in–law.
