Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 465

"Vera, is there something you want to tell me?" Dominic's low voice cut through the silence, catching Vespera off guard.

Vespera froze. The sudden exposure of her inner thoughts left her flustered. She hadn't had the time to mask her expression as it was already written all over her face.

A while later, she finally answered, "No."

"Are you sure?" Dominic asked, his eyes narrowed.

"Yeah," responded Vespera.

Their eyes met, and his stare was intense. It was like he could see straight through her. At first, she tried to stay composed, but under that intense gaze, her facade began to crumble. Her eyes began to flicker.

Before Vespera crumbled, she hooked her arms around Dominic's neck and kissed him hard. She tried to stick her tongue in his mouth. Instead of waiting for her to pry his teeth open, he had already yielded and responded fiercely. His kiss was dominant and hungry.

Vespera had meant to kiss Dominic dizzy so that he would stop interrogating her. But somehow, he ended up being even more aggressive than she was.

Their kiss deepened. It was like a contest of who would kiss the other senseless first.

In their heated frenzy, what began as a simple embrace turned into them tumbling back onto the bed. Dominic was still dressed in formal attire, while Vespera only wore a nightgown, which rode up to her waist as they fell back onto the bed.

The metal of his belt buckle pressed against her lower stomach, shocking her back to her senses.

"Let's eat," mumbled Vespera, pushing Dominic's waist. Maybe the distraction worked.

Dominic wiped the moisture from Vespera's lips. With a low and hoarse voice, he asked, "Why did you kiss me? Was it to work up an appetite?"

For a second, Vespera wasn't sure who the crazy one was here.

Dominic reached toward the edge of the pillow and grabbed the ointment. He pulled Vespera into his lap, letting her sit between his legs. Then, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

He twisted the cap off and said, "Let's apply some ointment first. You'll enjoy the meal more after."

"No," protested Vespera, but Dominic was already squeezing the ointment onto his fingertip.

Even now, Vespera couldn't bring herself to say the other option Wanda had laid out.

Dominic asked, wanting to know Vespera's thoughts, "Do you want to break up with me?"

Vespera didn't answer. Several emotions flickered across her face. There was confusion, conflict, doubt, and fear.

Dominic chuckled. He lowered his head and kissed Vespera again, giving her what she needed. He only let go when she calmed down and closed her eyes, leaning into his chest.

"It seems like you're having a hard time letting me go," mumbled Dominic.

Vespera didn't open her eyes. Instead, she rubbed her cheek against his jaw and whispered, "What woman wouldn't have a hard time letting go of a man like you?"

Dominic chuckled again. That was enough for him for now. No matter what Vespera wanted, as long as she still wasn't ready to leave, it meant he still had time.

Testing the waters, he asked, "If that's how you feel, have you ever thought about what it would be like to be together long-term?"
