Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 357 Woof

Dominic chuckled at Bella's challenge. "Whoever makes a move is a dog?"

She kept a serious expression. "Exactly!"

With a mischievous glint in his eye, he leaned in close. He slightly opened his lips and whispered in a soft, magnetic voice, "Woof..."

Bella's heart skipped a beat. How was he always so effortlessly charming?

Before she could gather herself, he flipped her onto her back. She turned her head away, flustered. "Hey! You're breaking the rule... Don't!"

His lips brushed her cheek as he teased, "I already barked... At least let me make it worth it."

After a while, he finally rolled off her. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine. Sleep!"

With her cheeks flushed, Bella adjusted her rumpled shirt. She then closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep. He hadn't taken things too far, but he certainly hadn't made it easy on her.
