By then, my face was as red as a tomato. As for Dominic, I had never seen him behave so brazenly before. “Let go of me at once! I'm not going to discuss such a pointless topic with you.” Dominic leaned closer to me. “Tell me then, after spending such a long time clearing your mind, what have you concluded?” I would have ignored him if I had the choice. Furthermore, I had less than twenty-four hours to myself, and yet, he claimed that I already had a long time to think. Taking a deep breath, I answered gradually, “Go back to wherever you came from. Once I have figured things out, I'll naturally let you know.” Dominic let out a noncommittal smile. Grabbing me by the chin, he looked me in the eye. “It doesn't matter what you think. I'll just tell you what my decision is. Liliana, from this moment on, I won't allow you the opportunity to leave my side. You will always be together with me.” I was stunned by how domineering Dominic's declaration was. My heart pounded so furiously that I felt it was about to explode. When he said that we will be together, what does he mean? Is he suggesting that we get married? I didn't even dare let my mind explore any further. After regaining my senses, I replied hesitantly, “You... If you don't plan to spend the rest of your life with me, we should end our relationship as early as possible. I don't want to come in between you and Camille anymore. She might be comfortable doing something like that, but I'm not.” The next moment, Dominic got off me and pulled me up before settling by my side. Sitting on the bed facing each other, he placed his hand at the back of my head, pulled me closer, and planted his lips on mine. The kiss had a gentleness which I had never felt before.Soon, I was intoxicated by his sensuous kiss. At the end of it, he leaned his head against my forehead and whispered, “Don't you get it yet?” I was filled with joy, but it was still tinged with disbelief. “But you and Camille...” Dominic gently kissed me again before clarifying, “There has never been anything going on between us. With regards to what happened five years ago, both of us were waiting for you. However, she suddenly fainted for some strange reason. Considering that she was your best friend, there was no way I was going to allow her to collapse onto the ground.” After so many years, this was the first time both of us discussed what happened back then. However, Dominic's version was different from mine. “That's not right. She didn't faint at all. Not only did I see both of you hugging, but I also saw her kissing you.”Furrowing his eyebrows, Dominic sounded displeased. “Don't you believe me?” Thinking back to what he accused me of, I was aware that what I saw might not be the truth. Nevertheless, I still couldn't deny what had happened in front of my own eyes. “It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that...” As if he was dissatisfied with my hesitation, he asserted, “I will get to the bottom of the matter. But now, you have to decide whether you want to get back together with me or not.” Staring at Dominic, I wondered if I was dreaming. I thought I had lost him together with all our beautiful memories. But now, am I now going to get him back just like that? “Liliana!” Dominic was already grinding his teeth, as if he would lose his mind if I didn't give him an answer.To hell with it. To be able to regain something that I have lost is already cause for celebration. There's no point in dwelling on it unnecessarily. Cupping his head, I kissed him in return and murmured, “Mmm-hmm. Dominic, let's start afresh.” The next moment, he broke into a vibrant smile. “Mark my words. This time, I won't allow you to leave me anymore.” After that, he seized the initiative and locked lips with me until we became inseparable. Soon, a romantic atmosphere filled the room. Although I was tempted to go all the way, what was left of my rationality reminded me that now wasn't a good time because of his injured arm. “Mmm... Dominic... Stop. Your arm...” Chuckling, he replied with a lustful voice, “I only hurt my one arm. It's not going to affect my performance in any way.” Feeling intoxicated, I could barely think straight anymore. Soon, I felt the full brunt of what he was trying to convey with his words. By the time he was done, I could barely open my eyes. Drifting in and out of my consciousness, I could hear Dominic's passionate murmurs in my ear. “Liliana, it's good to have you back...” After an extremely raunchy night, the sun was already high in the sky by the time I woke up. When I sat up in bed, I scrutinized my room but didn't see Dominic anywhere. Where is he? Was it all just a dream? However, the residual traces of our lovemaking clearly proved that he had spent the night with me. In fact, our amorous session had lasted for the entire night.He even told me that we would start afresh together. Suddenly, I began to panic. Jumping out of bed naked, I ran to the couch to get my bag. I wanted to give Dominic a call. If what had happened the night before was all a dream, I wouldn't have felt so anxious. However, now that we had finally reconciled, I felt nervous when I woke up and couldn't find him. Just when I took out my phone, I heard the door open. Without a care, I turned to look and was greeted by the sight of Dominic entering with a few bags in his hands. Tossing my phone back to the couch, I darted toward him and grabbed onto his shirt. My reaction had caught him by surprise. “Where did you go? I couldn't find you when I woke up. Dominic, what happened last night and what you said... Does it still count?”Feeling desperate, I was unable to hide the fear inside me. However, Dominic looked earnestly at me. When his eyes glistened, I was unable to guess what was going through his mind. After a few minutes, Dominic broke into a devilish smile. “Are you suggesting to me that you weren't satisfied last night? And now you're demanding more?” Huh? What does he mean? I trailed his gaze and looked down. Stunned momentarily, I dashed back to the bed and covered myself with the blanket.
