29. Trouble

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

I yawned happily while stretching, the duvet moving off my shoulders. The rush of what happened between Dominic and I came back as I bit back a satisfied grin. I’ve had sex before but nothing came close to what happened between Dominic and me. All the worries and doubts about him were off my mind and all I could think of was our bodies engulfed in on. When I turned to Dominic's side he was nowhere to be seen. Sitting up, I scanned the bedroom for any sign of him but there was none. A wave of disappointment washed over me at the thought that he had left me without a word. Wait, today was Saturday. Of late he had been taking off the weekends so that meant he wasn't out on work. So where could he have gone?

After a long warm shower, while humming Love me like you, I settled on a pair of ripped blue jeans with a white tank top. And then something just ticked in my brain. Finally, a great idea for my new novel; a novel that I was sure would be a hit. Picking up my laptop, I raced downstairs. I was going to grab an apple from the fridge when I saw a note stuck on it.

Breakfast is in the kitchen.

Dominic.

Whoa! Dominic made me breakfast? I felt my heart skip a bit as I walked into the kitchen. A moan of pure satisfaction left my lips the moment the bacon touched my tongue. This was the first time he had cooked for me and he was so damn good at it. I wouldn’t even cook as half as good as he did. In fact, it was safe to say I sucked when it came to kitchen matters. Thank God he made it in excess. But where could he have gone on a Saturday? Choosing to ignore the strange anxious feeling running through my veins, I picked my laptop and began typing as a small smile tagged my lower lip.

I was almost done with the first chapter of my new novel; Addicted when something triggered in my mind about what Reed said to Dominic yesterday. Dominic was in rehab at fifteen? Was he a drug addict or something? And Mr. Valiente was not his father? He was dumped in a slum? I needed answers and only he could explain it to me. Picking my cell phone I dialed his number but it went direct to voicemail.

Dominic Valiente here. I’m in a meeting. Please leave a message.

The sound of his deep voice made me blush even though he was not even physically present. How was it possible for a man to look that good and possess a voice that husky? After a few minutes of a tone, I relayed the message.

Dominic, we need to talk urgently. Please call me as soon as possible. Bye and I...

The words just hung in my mouth so I cut it off. Honestly, I had no idea what exactly I wanted to say to him. Unable to curb my curiosity I turned to the internet for answers but nothing interesting about the Valiente family came up. Groaning I lay flat on my stomach, willing my mind to forget everything and just relive the events of the previous night. If I had known he was this great in bed I would have probably given into the demands of my body since day one. I bit the edge of my lower lip unknowingly while playing with the tip of one loose end of my hair.

"Hello Beautiful," I almost went plummeting to the floor at the sound of Reed's voice. I sat up quickly.

"How did you even get in?" I mumbled stupidly while avoiding his gaze.

"Through the door obviously, “He answered with a light chuckle while settling on the coach that I had previously been lying on.

"Yeah, I know you came through the door but you didn't even ring the bell, “I spoke in an accusatory tone.

"Why would I bother ringing it? Dominic is out, the maid is on a holiday, that leaves only you in the house," He grinned-the grin that I once thought was sexy but now it was scaring the shit out of me.

"Do you want water or something?" I asked trying to divert my attention from Reed's nerving presence.

"I want you," he replied simply, cocking one eyebrow.

"That's something really inappropriate to say to me when you know pretty well I’m your brother's wife," I stated sternly.

"My brother's wife? First off he is not my brother and second I know you pretty much want me too. I felt it when you kissed me yesterday Nicole. It was there, the yearning, the passion. I know you felt it as much as I did," he had now moved next to me.

I felt his hand trail along the length of my thigh as a small gasp escaped my lips. Without a second thought I slapped his hands away while spearing him with an annoyed glare.

"First off you kissed me which is something that really pissed me off. I mean, I do know you don't respect Dominic but I didn't take you for someone who doesn't respect women as well. Second stop with the inappropriate touching. You are really getting on my nerves right now Reed," I warned subtly.

"You have no idea just how sexy you look right now when you are pissed off. You make me want to kiss you all over again" My lower lip dipped at his straightforwardness.

He suddenly moved forward, entwining his lips with mine. This time I pushed him back, slapping him twice on his cheek while he stumbled back in shock. When he looked at me, his eyes were nothing but bloody red making me move back to the other end of the couch as he stood up advancing towards me.

This was not good.
