Chapter 46: When Time Stood

Dominic’s POV

I kissed her hard, leaving no room for her to breathe until she trembled. Time stopped for us... the ocean, the wind, the low hum of the yacht.... everything faded until there was only her.

When I pulled back slightly, her eyes fluttered open. The ocean breeze brushed against her hair, carrying the scent of her perfume. It mixed with the salt in the air, wrapping around me like a spell.

“Dominic…” she called my name as if saying it was wrong, but her trembling voice betrayed how much she wanted this too.

I cupped her face gently, my thumb tracing the curve of her cheek.

“Tell me to stop, and I will,” I said but it sounded more like a plea for her not to stop me. I might go insane if she did.

But she didn’t. She just looked at me, her eyes glassy and full of something that went deeper than words.

Her silence was my answer.

I leaned in again, kissing her slowly this time not with urgency, but with meaning. It was the kind of kiss that said everything I hadn’t been brave enough to admit: that I wanted to be with her again. It tasted like longing and the pain of waiting too long.

But this time, I wasn’t just sleeping with her.... I was making love to her.

I lifted her up, and her legs wrapped around my waist as I headed to the room inside the yacht, my lips still on hers.

I placed her against the door the moment we got in and closed it. My hand slipped under her dress and grabbed her butt, kneading the flesh roughly.

She moaned softly.

I eased back and unzipped her dress, pulling it down to expose her chest, still covered by her white bra.

I swallowed hard at the sight ...she was full even with the bra on. My breath caught when the bra came off; she unhooked it herself. I lifted my eyes from her chest to her face and saw her looking at me with a teasing smile.

“Fuck, you’re so perfect,” I said and took one of her soft mounds into my mouth while my hand went to the other.

“Mmm…” she moaned loudly. Her back arched, trying to pull away from the friction of what my mouth was doing to her, but I held her tightly and sucked harder.

“Ohh, Dom…” she moaned again.

Hearing her moan my name fueled the desire in me. I started grinding against her, groaning as she trembled beneath me.

I moved her to the bed and placed her on the edge, quickly pulling down the remains of her dress and underwear.

She was now completely bare, and I wondered which god created such beauty.

I bent down and kissed her deeply while my hand moved to part her thighs.

“How are you this beautiful?” I murmured as my fingers brushed against her clit. I felt how wet and ready she was for me.

She gasped softly, her eyes closing, biting her lip as I worked my fingers gently, building her up until she shuddered in release.

When it was over, I brought my hand to my lips and tasted her, not wanting to waste a single drop of her sweetness.

I stood up and started removing my clothes while watching her. She was still breathing heavily from what I had done to her, and I couldn’t be happier knowing I had made her feel that way.

Then my eyes caught something ...her wedding ring. My chest tightened, not from guilt but from the reminder that she was still tied to that man.

She looked away when I removed the last piece of clothing from my body.

I slowly climbed on top of her, my hand reaching for her finger. I removed the ring and wanted to throw it away, but instead, I placed it on the table. I knew she would still want to wear it, though I couldn’t understand why... she must know about Philip’s infidelity and that all was not well at home.

“Enjoy this journey with me, Marceline,” I whispered in her ear. She nodded.

I slowly entered her, closing my eyes as emotions flooded me ...emotions I hadn’t felt in months.

She was tight around me, and joy filled my heart. It showed that it had been long for her too... Philip hadn’t touched her recently. I waited for her to adjust to me before increasing my pace.

“Ahhh… Dom… hmm…” she moaned as I moved faster.

I thrust into her, losing myself in the moment as pleasure clouded my mind. She was so sweet, too sweet.

“Domi…” she cried out as she reached her peak. A few more thrusts, and I pulled out quickly, releasing with a deep groan.
