Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 All Bite And No Bark

Every time we made love, Dominic seemed nothing short of an insatiable beast. I ended each session feeling like a limp rag doll.

Last night was no exception. It seemed like it was dawn by the time I collapsed into an exhausted sleep.

If not for the phone ringing incessantly on my bedside table, I might have slumbered until the following night.

When I picked up the call and heard Dominic’s voice, I thought I was still dreaming.

Didn’t he sleep with me last night? Why is he calling me from inside the house?

I hung up the call in a blur. My brain slowly awakened after I vegged out on the bed for a few more minutes.

What was he telling me on the phone? Oh, he wants me to get ready because he’s arriving in half an hour to take me to my father’s talk.

It was a struggle to sit upright in bed. Glancing at the clock, I realized it was one in the afternoon.

Hmm, less than two hours to my dad’s talk. Dominic can’t be human. Where does he find the energy to get up so early in the morning after last night’s activities?

I did not know when he had left, but it must have been pretty early.

I had only half an hour to get ready, but I did not have the energy to wash up any quicker.

Dominic arrived as I finished my shower.

“Did you take my house keys?” I asked after getting over my surprise.

He did not refute my guess, and I could not be bothered to interrogate him further.
