That was Dominic. He could make even the most boring parts of his day sound like an adventure. He could walk into a burning building and come out telling you about the interesting architecture.
"Do you ever have bad days?" I asked, still giggling.
"Every day I have to spend an hour away from you is a bad day."
"Smooth."
"I meant every word."
"I know you did." I shook my head, smiling. "That's the terrifying part. You're actually like this."
"Like what?"
"You," I said, squeezing his hand. "You're so wonderful that sometimes I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop."
His smile softened, and he reached for my hand again.
"The other shoe isn't going to drop, Celeste. Whatever comes, we face it together. That's the deal."
I nodded, my throat tightening. "That's the deal."
We finished our meal with dessert, sharing a chocolate creation so beautiful that I almost felt guilty eating it. I fed him a bite from my fork, and he watched me with those dark eyes as though I were the only woman in the world.
I wished I could stretch that moment forever, keeping us tucked away in our little pocket of happiness where nothing existed except the two of us and the soft golden light.
But lunch breaks ended.
The thought settled over me like a weight. In less than two weeks, I'd be on my honeymoon. Until then, I had to work twice as hard because Pat's early pregnancy had turned her into a walking nap. She fell asleep at work at least three times a day now, and I couldn't blame her. Her body was building a whole human.
The least I could do was cover for her, let her rest, and make sure everything at Helix ran smoothly before I disappeared into wedded bliss.
I was about to ask Dominic if he would consider spending the rest of the day at Helix with me, just so I could look at him while I worked, when my phone lit up on the table.

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
