Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 420 You Can't

Gloriana eagerly helped him remove his shoes at the nearby hotel and offered him a glass of water. She purposely arched her back when she knelt, presenting an enticing curve in front of him, her movements exaggerated and deliberate. She stood up, boldly straddled his lap, and slowly ran her hands up from his chest to wrap around his neck. "Mr. Miller..."

He allowed her to move around on him momentarily before he finally spoke, his tone low and detached. "Haven't you realized that you can't turn me on?"

She had been the center of attention among many young, talented men before, always able to draw their interest. She couldn't help but wonder why she didn't have the same effect on him.
