She conceded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll let you stay for two nights before my business trip, but only because I feel sorry for you since your apartment is occupied."

"You are truly beautiful and compassionate." Dominic gently caressed her neck, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and rose from the suitcase. "Give me a hand inside. I've been sitting so long my legs are numb."

Vespera wrapped her arm around his waist, guiding the tall man into the room.

Dominic was speechless.
