Chapter 92: Just Like Fire

▪ J A D E▪

"Are we there yet?" I asked for the millionth time.

Dominic exhaled deeply as his gloved hands gripped the steering wheel. I

knew he was annoyed, but it was my birthday today. As such, I was allowed

to be extra bratty and he could not do anything about it.

I snickered at the thought, poor bastard.

Letting out a sigh, I tried to relax. Even though I had turned twenty-three

years old, I did not feel any different.

It felt odd not to celebrate my birthday with a big flashy party, which had

been the norm over the last few years. But deep down, I knew that I was not

ready; Blaire's absence would still be too painful.

Maybe for my twenty-fifth, who knew.

Pursing my lips, I turned in my seat as I admired how sexy Dominic looked

in his dark purple suit. My eyes then moved to observe the smooth features

of his pale face. A part of me could not help but be curious as to what he

had planned for me tonight.

I had spent a quiet day at home, then Dominic had taken me to dinner. We

had gone to this new fusion cuisine restaurant I had been eager to try. After

we had eaten, I was expecting us to just go back home and fuck, God knew

I needed to feel him inside of me.

However, my man had other plans.

With a grin, I questioned again, my voice playful, "Are we there yet?"

"You know, birthday or not, keep purposefully aggravating me and I will

pull the car over and spank that ass raw!" Dominic grumbled.

My smiled widened as I bit my bottom lip, a small shudder passing through

me as I contemplated my options. Either way, I knew that I would get a

happy ending before the night came to a close.

If it was one thing with Dominic, he always made sure I was well satisfied.

Deciding to behave myself for now, I settled back into my seat and enjoyed

the rest of the ride.

About an hour later, after crossing the city borders, Dominic parked outside

of an abandoned theme park. He did not say anything as he took off his

gloves then got out of the car and proceeded to walk around and open my

door for me.

Stepping out, I adjusted my dark purple bodycon dress, my wedge heels

crunching as I stepped onto the gravel. Taking his hand, I allowed myself to

look around.

The theme park was large and clearly very old as my green eyes glanced

over the rusty conked-out rides in front of me. The place looked like it had

been abandoned for decades. Which was not surprising, given that it was

out in the middle of nowhere.

I would be lying if I said that I was not slightly baffled.

The light from the full moon above illuminated everything around us,

casting spooky shadows in all directions. There were overgrown weeds

everywhere, and the painting on the old billboards gave the characters an

eerie look. It was as though their bulging eyes were following you with

every step you took.

"Why are we here, Dom?" I asked with a nervous chuckle.

Pushing me up against the side of the car, Dominic leaned his face in, his

blue eyes seeming to glow, "I thought that we could have a little bit of

fun..."

The way his gaze lingered on my lips had me clenching my thighs already.

If his idea of fun was fucking me near this creepy abandoned theme park, so

be it. I would gladly let him take me right there and then, but I could tell

from the way his eyes moved to lock with mine, that Dominic wanted us to

do something first and I was eager to find out what it was.

Allowing him to lead me through the broken-down gates, we walked

towards the carousel.

"I'm not very good at this emotions thing. But I know that you're still

hurting about Blaire. So, I figured since you didn't want to do anything at

all these last two years for your birthday, I was hoping that this would help

breathe some fire back into your soul," Dominic said as he looked at me.

My heart immediately melted at his words.

Trust him to know that deep down I was not one hundred percent myself. I

was close, but there was still a small part of me that held back. Although I

was not sure how being out here would help.

Seeing the slightly confused look on my face, Dominic grinned, "Wait

here..."

I watched as he quickly sprinted back to the car and opened the passenger

side to take something out of the glove compartment. He returned with a

small black detonation device as well as a stick of purple dynamite. With a

big mischievous smirk, he handed me both.

"Bring your own boom huh?" I grinned, looking down at the items.

"Always..." Dominic stood as he gently kissed my lips.

Reaching into his pants' pocket, he took out his mobile phone and quickly

made a call. As he spoke with Vincent, my eyes looked down at the

dynamite, really observing it properly.

It was then I noticed that it had the words 'Happy Birthday my little hellfire'

written in silver ink.

The smile that pulled at my lips was one I could not control as I glanced

back at Dominic. He was staring at me, and as our eyes met, he grinned and

winked.

Fuck, he was so sexy!

Getting off the phone, he pocketed the device, and announced, "Alright,

Vincent said that we can light shit up now."

"Wait, Vincent is here?" I asked, my head suddenly looking around but

seeing no one.

Nodding, Dominic replied, "Yes, as well as Quintin, Jee-min and a few of

the other men. I had them come down here early to prepare the area.

They've put a few gas tanks in various spots, it'll give an extra boom when

the dynamite goes off."

I was speechless, they had all done this for me.

"Of course, we're going to need to keep our distance, so I suggest we walk

back to the car before you detonate," he instructed.

Biting the inside of my cheek, I glanced down at the device in my hand then

stated, "What's the point in playing with fire if you don't get a little burnt?"

"Jade..." Dominic growled low in his throat, my words no doubt turning

him on.

Moving to stand behind me, his strong arms wrapped around my waist as he

buried his face in my neck, his lips nipping at my skin. Moaning softly, I

leaned back into him, feeling the hard plains of his body against me.

"Kiss me..." I said softly.

Without hesitation, Dominic swiftly turned me around and hungrily brought

his lips to mine. It was in that moment that I decided to press the button on

the detonation device, and as we fervently kissed each other, the resounding

sounds of various explosions went off in the background.

Dropping the items in my hands onto the floor, I then wrapped my arms

around Dominic, allowing myself to melt into the kiss.

Unfortunately, after a few moments, he pulled free, causing me to whimper.

Chuckling softly, he lightly spanked my ass before forcing me to turn

around to watch the fire that was beginning to ravage across the abandoned

theme park.

As the fire grew, I became transfixed and I immediately realised what

Dominic was hoping to achieve.

The flames began to consume the theme park. Since many of the old stalls

were made out of wood, the fire quickly turned everything into ashes. The

heat I felt radiating outward seemed to mirror the anger that I had inside.

It was as if the fire was a reflection myself. The broken woman inside of me

wanted nothing more than to burn the world, wanting them to feel my pain.

Inhaling deeply, I allowed myself to become transfixed by the fiery scene

before me.

The flames burned in hot, short, and violent bursts, not caring about the

destruction they would leave behind. I took a deep breath as the air was

filled with the smell of destruction, thick clouds of smoke wafting up into

the night sky.
