The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 34

Dominick finished installing the new bulb and screwed the lampshade back on. "Alright, give it a try. See if it works," he said.

Paisley flipped the switch, and in an instant, the dim room was flooded with bright light.

Dominick stood on the ladder with his hands on his hips and looked down at her with a grin. "See? Not bad, huh?"

"Yeah, you're awesome." Paisley nodded, acknowledging his skill. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a bit awkward.

She looked up at him, and the light from the ceiling hit his face just right, making him look handsome too. For a moment, her mind wandered back to the past—when they first met and had so many sweet memories together.

The small space between them was filled with his heat. His breath brushed her skin, sending an unexpected rush of tension through her.

Paisley turned her head to avoid his intense gaze and said, "Come on, let me go."
