Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 63

"I don't like it either. Something's going on here, I am telling you"

And because my sense of smell was very developed and Rebecca's I couldn't detect anymore, I felt many other scents mixed together and a lot of... fear. 

In complete silence, I followed the smell and fear to a well-hidden antechamber. There, I felt my senses go haywire. 

I looked around and noticed a few security guards and some more police, ensuring the smooth running of the event. I waved to a patrol. Three men approached discreetly. Just as subtly, I showed them my badge.

"Guys, something's wrong here," I whispered to them, almost giving nothing away. Declan had already moved back from us. The entire operation lasted a few tens of minutes, during which multiple security teams came in turns and took over several girls locked in that antechamber. One by one, and quietly they came out. Scared, beaten, dirty. They were all taken out, and the police assured me they would take them all to a safe place. The room got locked again, as it had been. 

That smelled like human trafficking to me. But why had Rebecca lured me to this place?

YOU BELONG TO ME!

Rebecca's story

Damn it, Dominic! Why did you have to show up here? It almost jeopardized the mission, but in the end, it all worked out as I had hoped. As soon as I saw him, I moved away from where the girls were so as not to endanger them. An hour later, I found out that they had already released them in complete secrecy. 

"What was he thinking?" Logan asked me, nervously pacing the room even more angry. 

"I'm more and more convinced he came after me." Logan's face suddenly relaxed.

Finally, it was time for the party and I was pacing around my room, nervous about it. My dress was ready. A long, elegant black lace mermaid dress was waiting for me to wear. I didn't get many opportunities to wear dresses like this, but I had to start somewhere. I still didn't feel too comfortable in this type of gown, but I'll get used to it.

Here and there, the dress has transparent spots placed in just the right places to reveal parts of my skin, enough to make someone wonder what might be underneath. The dress had little black lace flowers that lightly covered my breasts and stretched just above my knees. If you were asking, the view was delicious. The bottom of the dress was in layers, many of them, which made it stunning.

 My makeup and hair had to be perfect, too. Shades of grey adorned my eyes, a natural blush caressed my already flushed cheeks, red lipstick and black mascara all portrayed the image of a woman ready for the next confrontation. However, was I ready for the man of my life?

I took one last look in the mirror, admiring my hair. I let it hang in curls, covering my bare back. The final touch was my well-known vanilla scent mixed with fresh flowers, which made Dominic go crazy every time he was near me.

I walked out of the room intending to find Logan, but instead, someone else found me. Dominic was standing in the hallway, as if waiting for me. I stopped in my tracks, catching my breath and trying to focus on my goal, finding Logan and heading to the party. When I went to walk past him, he blocked my way with his firm hand. An electric wave of electricity shot through my body as he placed his arm on my belly. The place he touched instantly heated up, and the air thickened so much I was almost hyperventilating. Seeing the impact, he was having on me, he pushed things a little further. He filled the space between us with his massive body coming dangerously close. My heart rose to my throat. My damn legs betrayed me and I simply couldn't stand. The next thing I did was lean forward, putting my weight on him. He noticed my dizziness and supported my body with his. It took me a few minutes to free myself from his spell. The places where our bodies touched burned with a fierceness I was still trying to understand. His lips were almost touching mine. His warm breath was a mixture of fresh mint and sweet cinnamon that had me wanting to taste him.
