Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 269 I'll Make You Fall for Me Again

Dominic's grip tightened, and it started to hurt Bella a little, but she bit back her discomfort. She felt a mix of frustration and sadness,

After a moment, Pooninic holl gently and half-forcefully pulled her conto his laps. "Don't pull away when I try to get close to you. Even if you don't like me anymore, I'll make you fall for me again as long as there's no other man in the way." With that, his warm lips pressed against the crook of her neck.

Bella could feel the changes in his body, and any thoughts of arguing evaporated. Breathing heavily, she murmured in a hoarse voice, "I don't..."

The ihn on his laptop had reaches a bedroom seene between the main character and his girlfriend.

Foreign films often pushed boundaries, and the sensual sounds drifting through the room only heightened the intensity of the moment.

It had been a while since they had been this close. The desire simmering between them was palpable, and once the spark was lit, it quickly spiraled out of control. In that heated moment and still in their current position, they kissed deeply.

With Bella sitting on his lap, she was slightly taller, giving her a fleeting sense of control. Her slender fingers unconsciously tangled in his hair, and she hesitantly flicked out her tongue, lightly exploring, testing

This small, tentative action triggered a powerful response from him. He shifted her, moving her into a straddling position and gripping her waist as he pulled her down against him.

Through the fabric, Bella could feel the heat of him. Instinctively, she tried to lift herself and pull away, but he held her firmly in place, pressing her back

down each time.

Suddenly, Dominic's phone rang, cutting through the moment.

At first, they both ignored it, but Bella glanced at the screen and saw that it was Victor calling. She nudged him, "It's Victor, He probably needs. something"

Anmoved, Dominic paused and picked up the phone, though he kept one arm firmly wrapped around her waist.

Bella paused the film, which had returned to its normal scenes, and overheard bits of Victor's voice. It sounded like he needed to meet with Dominic. The call ended quickly, and Dominic buried his head against her chest, clearly frustrated. "I need to step out for a bit. I'll be back soon."

Bella nodded, slipping off his lap obediently.

Though nothing major had happened, their clothes were still a little disheveled, Dominic's irritated expression also made it clear he wasn't happy about the interruption.

Before leaving, Dominic wasn't quite ready to let her go. He pulled her close and kissed her again. "I don't know how late I'll be, so just sleep in my room. If I come back and don't see you.."

Bella didn't let him finish the threat. Standing on her toes, she quickly pecked his lips. "Got it. Now, go."

He left, but by the time Bella fell asleep, he still hadn't returned.

The next morning, Sylvia informed Bella that Dominic had left on a business trip. He came home late, hastily packed some things, and left without waking her since she was already asleep, Dominic was always busy, so Bella wasn't surprised. If anything, his absence was a relief.

Handling him was more exhausting than performing a complex surgery-especially with his unpredictable moods.

She thought she would finally get a few peaceful days, but Dominic had other ideas. He kept sending her message after message, and if she didn't reply after he sent three in a row, he'd immediately call her. That afternoon, Dominic asked her to find a document he had forgotten to take with him. He needed her to go to his room after work, search for it, and send him photos of every page.

He wasn't sure which it was in

so she'd have to search around

After her shift, Bella hurried home to help. While searching through the nightstand drawer, her eyes landed on something unexpected-several boxes of condoms, all neatly arranged
