Chapter 10 

Vanessa 

This shouldn’t be happening right now. Even though I know exactly what this is as he looks at my lips. I’m so caught off guard that I don’t react in time. 

As I feel his warm breath against my lips while our eyes lock, he places his hand on the back of my neck. The moment he tilts his head. I tell myself to take a few steps back but something tells me it’ll just be a simple kiss, just like yesterday, with only our lips coming in contact, 

The moment he places his lips on mine, I’m in for a shock when he parts his lips, his tongue seeking access to mine. 

He brings his other hand down to my sensitive waist and that instantly makes me part my lips with a gasp. 

The next thing I know, I’m kissing him back as his tongue dominates mine. This is such an unexpected turn of events. 

Now with both his hands around waist, I’m trying so hard not to moan against his lips. He’s a jerk, but he’s touching me and kissing me in a way that makes it hard to resist. 

Part of me even wants to believe it’s all just a dream, but I can clearly feel his warm breath and wet tongue against mine. 

I even feel my nipples harden and the more he kisses me, the more they come in contact with his chest. 

Is this all just part of the acting? I don’t even know the answer to that 

When I feel him pull away from my lips, I’m so confused with my racing heart that I don’t even open my eyes. 

Why did he do this? It wasn’t part of the plan, at least not the tongue part. 

As much as I hate to admit it, the kiss itself was sensual. 

While I keep my eyes shut just a little bit longer, I hear him snicker so I open my eyes, wondering what’s going on with him. 

The moment our eyes meet, he looks at me scornfully as he shakes his head with crossed arms. 

“Oh, Vanessa, you’re so pathetic.” 

I crease my forehead. “What?” 

“Just look at you now, so into this moment. This is what you were waiting for, right? 

“What are you talking about?” 

“This is exactly the type of moment you desired. You wanted me to hold you, especially last night.” 

“Last night?” 

“Don’t play dumb. I heard you crying last night and it went on for a long time.” 

As soon as he mentions that, my heart aches. Does he know about my mother and my nightmares? I never told him about that Did he find out from my father? No, he wouldn’t tell Dominic without talking to me about it. 

I’m brought out of my thoughts when he continues to mock me 

The distance from the door to the bed is quite much and for me to hear you that loudly, it must’ve been quite a moment. Now that we’re out here, I see more of your dark circles. Nice try hiding them.”

Every word coming from his mouth is making me feel worse as remember how sorrowful I was last night and curled up. How could he mock me over something so emotional for me? 

I feel the tears blur my vision and soon after that, they trickle down my face as I look away from him. 

This is exactly how he wanted to see me. 

“Next time, don’t be such a hypocrite,” he says. “You keep acting bike you don’t want me to touch you but you do. Must ve been quite a lonely wedding night without your husband.” 

As soon as he says that, I look back at him with narrowed eyes as I process what he just said to me. Soon, it all makes sense and looking at him now, I can’t help but scoff. 

“Hold on a second.” I wipe my tears with another scoff. “You think I cried because of you last night?” 

“There you go again, trying to act tough. I see right through your He smirks 

At this point, I can’t help but burst into laughter. Once again, this is such an expected turn of events. 

I place my hand over my mouth, amused by his assumption. 

Once I confpose myself, I feel my ribs hurt from laughter. 

“Listen here.” I step closer, my hair strands blown away from my face by the gentle wind. “That’s where you’re absolutely wrong/ I would never cry over you” 

He smirks again. Like I said, I see right through you.” 

That’s where you’re wrong. I place a hand on my hip. “For your information, last night was pretty emotional for me only because of something from my past that still shows up even today” 

He stays silent and his smirk fades. 

“So next time you hear me cry, it definitely won’t be about you either. My tears had a deep meaning. You’re not dear to my heart. Well, now that we’re done with the footage, I’m off to explore and be alone!” 

I turn around, walking away with my head high. I can’t help but giggle a few times at his assumptions about how I felt. 

Is that why he got back at me for what I’ve said so far to him and Carmella? by kissing me so passionately? Just to give me a taste of what I couldn’t have last night? 

As my thoughts drift back to the taste of his lips and hands around my sensitive waist, I shake my head lightly, telling myself 

to forget. 

Because it meant nothing, it shouldn’t take too long. I’ll definitely forget about it. 

Though I want to explore, the waves crashing into my feet are calling me and right now, I just want to get into the water. 

Putting my phone a distance away, I take down my hair and get in. This is so refreshing. What an interesting morning I’ve had so far. 

Dominic 

It’s been a few minutes since Vanessa walked away from me and until now, I stand in the same spot. It’s because I’m shocked by the realization that she never cried because I was with Carmella and not her on our wedding night. 

When she told me that her tears had a deeper meaning, I wanted to make myself believe she was only trying to cover up the

real truth and not be embarrassed. But the look in her eyes told no lies. 

Now I wonder what it actually was that made her bawl her eyes out that way. 

Whatever the case, that shit doesn’t matter anymore. 

As much as I’m disappointed that I was wrong in assuming I had something to do with her tears, I partially got back at her. 

She’ll never stop thinking about that kiss and my touch. She can try to pretend all she wants, but she can’t lie to me. Her body language said it all. 

1 felt her tremble a little when I held her in my arms and kissed her passionately. And those rock hard nipples rubbed against my chest. That’s something she’ll never forget. 

I still wish I was right about everything else. Whatever. Fuck this shit 

Now’s the time I should be heading back inside to be with Carmella since I’m done here, but I can’t stop watching her as she gets into the water while still in her clothes. 

She loosens her hair and it all falls in the back as she sits down. Then, she lays flat in the water until her entire body is submerged. Once she rises, her wet hair looks darker again, just like earlier and several strands cling to her face and 

shoulders. 

With her lips parted, she pushes all her hair to the back, revealing the full view of her in her busty red tank top that has turned to a darker shade of red now that it’s wet. She gives off a refreshing smile as she looks around. But when she looks in my direction. I look away. 

What the hell am I still doing here? It’s time to go back inside. 

While she continues to look at me, her smile is gone. She’s actually glaring at me 

As I keep my eyes on her, I glance at the stand as 1 disassemble it and the camera drops to the ground 

“Babe!” Carmella’s voice echoes as she calls out to me from the entrance of the house. 

Wanting to leave the shore anyway, I hold the stand with one arm and pick up the camera. When I bring it to my face, it’s recording my feet. Without giving it much thought. I save and shut it down. I’ll edit the footage later. 

It’s a good thing Vanessa and I don’t have to do this again.”
