"Vera, you've been staring at me for a while now. What do you want to know?" Dominic murmured, his breath grazing Vespera's cheek.
What did Dominic mean by that? Vespera's brain short-circuited for a second. Then, she shook her head, snapping herself out of that inappropriate train of thought.
She pushed his face away and replied sternly, "First of all, I'm not curious. After all, curiosity kills. And second, she wasn't calling for us. She was calling for you. She was only calling for you."
In her head, she added, "You always attract trouble wherever you go."
Dominic fell silent. He looked at Vespera for a while before chuckling. He didn't look the least bit offended. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying her reprimand. Wrapping his arms around her waist again, he leaned in and said, "Why don't I catch that ghost and make her call for you, too?"
Vespera was rendered speechless. She snapped, shoving him away, "No need. You can have that honor all to yourself."
It was burning hot here. Why was he glued to her?
Vespera pushed Dominic off, but not even a moment later, he leaned in again, clinging to her. Her patience was wearing thin. The longer they stayed in the room, the worse she felt. It felt stuffy, and her head was spinning. And for some reason, she was irritated and in a bad mood.
She removed the jacket, feeling sweat trickling down her back. Even her hair was sticking to her skin. Although she was frowning, she looked seductive.
Dominic's breathing grew heavier. He slid a hand up her back and massaged gently as he said, "If you're tired, rest for a while."
Vespera nodded and leaned against his shoulder, closing her eyes. However, the restless feeling wouldn't let her settle. She inched closer to his neck. The warmth of his body and familiar scent were comforting.
A while later, she whispered, "I feel dizzy. How do you feel?"
"I'm fine," answered Dominic. He wiped the sweat from her temple, but his hand continued to slide down, making her breath hitch.
