As Dominic extends his hand so 1 can bring my leg forward, I sit still and shake my head.

I hiss when he reaches for my leg and places it right on his thigh making me jerk my head in his direction with surprise.

“What are you doing?” I furrow my eyebrows.

“Just sit still.” He doesn’t even look at me. His eyes are focused on my leg.

When his large hands wrap around my calf and massage with precision, I’m at a lot for words as I watch him. Is he only doing this because he might be a little tipsy?

The moment he raises my leg a little higher, my breath hitches because I fear that my underwear might be exposed to him even if my dress is long. But because I don’t want that to happen 1 try to pull my leg back. That action only makes me hiss again as it causes me more pain.

As much as I don’t want to admit it, seeing him from this angle is just as equally attractive as any other angle I’ve seen him from. Despite his arrogance, he’s extremely handsome and that’s something I just have to admit to myself.

When he suddenly lifts his head to look at me, I look away and face outside.

response is followed by a silence that I find awkward and for me, that’s new. The two of us have traveled together in silence before but this is just different and I keep asking myself why – because of a simple gesture to massage my calf and not even because of me but our parents? I hope not.
