Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella) novel Chapter 398

Suddenly, Bella rolled over and draped her arms and legs over him. Feeling a rush of intense desire surge within him, Dominic quickly pushed her limbs aside.

Bella stirred awake and groggily asked, "When did you get here?"

Still groggy, her voice sounded soft and sweet, like a kitten purring. Dominic's mind went completely blank as he suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

Sensing the smell of alcohol on him, she became alarmed. "Maybe we should wait until you're sober. You've been drinking. I'm afraid…"

Her words were intended to keep him in check as she was worried he might lose control.

In doubt, Dominic asked, "Are you sure you'll allow it when I'm sober?"

With a flushed face, she nodded. She only hoped that he'd forget everything when he woke up the next day.

…

The next morning, Bella was still asleep when Dominic left. Her thin nightgown couldn't hide her increasingly prominent baby bump, nor could it conceal her curvier figure.

He doubted he could resist the urge until she gave birth. It felt far more challenging than sealing a high-stakes business deal.

Bella finally got up around noon to eat. Cara served her soup, caring for her as always.

Bella wasn't one to ask him for anything. "I don't want anything. You go ahead and focus on your work. I want to head over to Lia's place."

When the call ended, Dominic frowned. Bella always acted like she didn't want to owe him anything, and it irritated him just thinking about it.

With no outlet for his frustration, he picked up a pen and snapped it in half. Just then, Victor walked into his office. "What's going on? Who made you this mad? Bella?"

Dominic quickly composed himself. "Nothing. Can we get going?"

Victor nodded. "Yeah, just finish up here, and we can leave. By the way, I heard you're going to be a dad. Congratulations!"
