Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 88

"Wow, you look beautiful, love!" 

"You're no less," I replied, smiling, delighting in how perfect and masculine he looked. The black ebony suit suited him, and the back combed hair made him even sexier. 

He came closer, as if reading my mind, and reached around my waist, holding me tight. His musky scent was driving me crazy, and he knew it and even took advantage of my weakness for him. 

"Is your lipstick transfer resistant?" He asked, running his thumb over my lips. As soon as he confirmed this, he seized my mouth in a deep, passionate kiss. I returned his kiss, feeling my body catch fire, begging for more. 

"Dominic, I don't think you want to do this right now..." I muttered, sticking to his lips, drunk with desire.

"Who says I don't want to?" His voice was low, husky, pushing his body even harder into me. When I felt his erection making its way between my thighs, I knew I didn't have a choice and I didn't want him to stop. 

There on the table in my room, he removed all obstacles and pushed himself into me so deep and fast that my fingernails almost pierced through the jacket of his suit. "Careful baby, you don't want to ruin my suit," he whispered in my ear with his breath hitching in rhythm with his thrusting inside me. 

"Faster...deeper, Dominic..." I was urging him harder. Until he filled me with him and an explosive orgasm which I felt all the way to the deepest places of my throbbing core made me shudder helplessly. 

Weakened, I leaned my forehead against his shoulder, reliving the moments from earlier. He was the perfect man and, more than that, he was mine. Somehow, at some point, I was more and more convinced that he was going to mark me. I still didn't understand his hesitation, but I enjoyed every second of it. 

"It's time to go, baby. I'm sure many people are already waiting for us." he broke that sweet silence between us and lifted my chin so I could look at him. 

"You're right. I am sure Emily is already there." 

"You're so beautiful, all ravished and flushed in your cheeks" he gently caressed my face, placing a quick kiss on my forehead.

"Let me introduce you to two of the most important people in my life. My husband, Mike and my agent Olivia. I'm sorry I didn't let you know they'd be joining me." 

"Nice to meet you. The pleasure is mine," I said, extending my hand in a friendly shake. Olivia and I locked gazes for a few seconds, but it all stayed within us. We just smiled politely. It was neither the time nor the place. "And don't worry, you didn't need to tell me. It was only natural that they would come," I continued, holding their prideful looks. 

At that moment, Emily pulled me further away from the rest of them and, with almost teary eyes, she clasped my hands. 

"Rebecca, if I may call you that, I confess I am so nervous. I've released books before but this is so different. I know we haven't known each other long, but you've touched my heart and I know our collaboration won't just stop at finding me spaces for my book launches." Her confession shocked me in a good way, as I felt from the beginning that we would have a special connection. It couldn't have been any other way, and that was because Emily was so approachable and natural. There's almost no chance of meeting people as open as she was. 

"Thank you for the kind words. I feel the same way. It's like something connects us, and believe me, we'll take that connection beyond a professional one. Besides, after this event is over, I'm inviting you and Olivia and your husband to our house for a barbecue. And why not to Dominic's film premiere? My partner is an actor, Emily. And acting and what you do, writing I mean go together perfectly. Who knows, maybe you'll find a director interested in putting your book on the screen." What I said to her sounded so good. Her face brightened instantly and a wide smile curled across her lips.
