Crushed Affections

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..."This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

"When did Dominic leave?" Bella asked.

"He took off early this morning. He came in pretty late. Around midnight, I think," Cara replied.

Bella knew when he had arrived, of course. Her arm was still sore from last night. That bastard...

Just thinking about what had happened made her heart race. It seemed she needed to avoid him staying over in the future. She didn't

want to risk them both losing control

one day.

In the afternoon, Dominic called to say he'd be going on a business trip with Victor and would be back in a week. He even asked if she wanted anything.

Bella pondered for a moment and

then sent him the link to a baby crib she had found online earlier. It was a bit pricey, but the baby was his, after all. It was his responsibility to pay.

Dominic chuckled. "You're only a few months into pregnancy, and you want a crib already? I meant if you wanted something for yourself, not for the baby."

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!"
