With Dominic’s arms now wrapped around my waist, it takes me a moment to process his quick reaction and when it finally registers that I’m holding onto his veiny arms, I slowly look up at him and our eyes meet.

“Looks like you’re not able to walk on your own,” he says.

Seeing him from this angle, looking down at me so dominantly after preventing my fall makes me a little flustered.

The silence between as I’m unable to speak makes my pounding heart more obvious in my ears.

I don’t even know what to say to him right now but soon, he speaks once again.

“Don’t get used to this. He lowers one arm to the back of my thighs

“What?”

Without saying a word, he scoops me up bridal style and I gasp quietly, my arm instantly wrapping around his neck as a reflex and the other one resting on his chest.

As he approaches the front door while facing it, I steal glances at him from his side profile.

“Open the door,” he instructs one of the bodyguards.

As soon as the large doors are pushed open, my focus shifts for two reasons. I want to see what the interior looks like because it’s my first time here and I don’t want to make it obvious to anyone that I’m stealing glances at him.

But on second thought, that’s what everyone around would expect as he’s my husband, everyone except him.

As soon as he steps foot inside, there’s a line of maid servants and butlers. All of them are elegantly dressed as they stand at ease with their hands behind their backs

When w

we get to the lobby, his footsteps echo on the checkered black and white marble floor.

Because I’ve never been here before, I don’t know what to expect when it comes to where he’ll take me. I don’t even bother to ask as I steal glances at him once again. He doesn’t seem to struggle as he carries me. I can’t help but wonder if I’m a lightweight or he’s just that strong

With the lobby leading to different directions, including an elevator, my first thought is that we’re going up but instead, he walks over to the living room and places me on the couch.

As soon as my calf hits against the surface of the couch, I hiss in pain, making him shake his head.

“You should’ve told me it was that bad,” he says, towering over me

“I didn’t know it was the case until I stepped out of the car. I guess your massage did nothing.”

He scoffs. “How ungrateful. I’m never doing this again.”

You didn’t even have to do it this time.”

“So you’d fall to the ground and it would somehow get to my parents? Don’t forget that this house is under twenty four hour surveillance. He points around at the cameras.

When I spot a few of them, I’m so relieved because I won’t have to deal with Carmella or at least in the way that annoys me. With someone watching, she wouldn’t dare come here and do what’s not expected of her.
