The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 

Dominic 

Vanessa might have the robe over her dress, but the front is open, and I can see it all. Her dress clings to the narrowest part of her waist and it’s so short that her thighs are almost on full display. And that cleavage is only accentuated by the lace around her bust area. 

As she walks past me, I clear my throat and pick up my phone, pretending to text Carmella but I can’t look away. 

She sits down in front of the mirror, unwraps her wet hair, which clings to her skin and begins to soak her robe. 

Irritated, she takes it off, then dries the ends with the towel. 

“Why not just use the hair dryer?” ask. 

“I thought this would be just fine, and I didn’t see one.” 

“Because you didn’t ask. Open the bottom drawer.” 

She leans over to one side and pulls out the drawer. As she takes out the hair dryer, she looks back at me and I look away. 

“Thanks.” Her voice is gentle. 

I don’t even bother to respond. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to her thanking me, especially for the smallest things that I do for her. 

The moment she gets up to connect the dryer, I look back at her and my eyes linger on her lower half. 

Her dress is just above her round ass and that silk makes it look so curvy. I didn’t think this would look so sexy on her, but I peel my eyes away, telling myself, ‘So what?” 

After she connects it, she sits back in her chair and begins drying her hair. 

Once again, I look back at her and as her hair dries, it’s blown around by the air. Even when there’s no p 

I’ve never seen her like that. Was it always this luscious and I never really noticed? I don’t think so. 

product on it, it still looks so luscious. 

When she dries it all up and gets up to unplug the dryer, she struggles with it and grunts while holding onto the plug with both hands. 

“This thing is stuck.” She grunts again. 

“Then just leave it there.” 

“I don’t think that’s safe.” 

“You think it’s going to explode or something?” 

“I just don’t think it’s safe to leave electrical appliances like this.” 

Why is she so conscious about everything? 

“I have to get it out,” 

she says. “Help me.” 

“No, just leave it there.” 

“Please.”

Chapter 37 

I sigh deeply, getting off the bed and approaching her.

She steps aside but stands right next to me. I crouch down in front of the socket to pull out the plug and my eyes travel up her thick thighs for a second. Why did she have to stand here? 

Focusing on the plug, I pull it out and pick up the hair dryer. I’m about to take it to the drawer when she holds out her hands. 

“I’ll do it,” she says.

As she takes it from me, our hands touch and there’s this strange feeling that makes our eyes lock, but we quickly look away and I let go. 

This isn’t the first time our skin is coming in contact. We pretend to be a loving couple all the time for the whole world to see and have touched each other so many times, but what the hell was that? 

Clearing my throat, I return to the bed, roughly shaking my head as I tell myself that this is nothing 

After she puts on her robe, she ties the knot, gets her book and approaches the bed. 

It doesn’t matter if she’s now hiding what’s underneath. I’ve seen it all and I hate to admit it, but it looks way sexier than I thought. But again, so what? 

In the corner of my eye, I see her sitting down on the bed, right on the very edge and she brings her legs on top. 

Opening her book, she says, “I thought you said you liked to read before going to bed.” 

“I was distracted.” 

“By what?” 

“None of your business.” 

There’s no way I’m going to tell her I was distracted because of her. 

After I reply to Carmella, I reach for a book among those I still have in this room, then start reading as well. 

The silence between us feels like nothing as it continues to thunder outside, but not as loud as it did when she flinched and dropped that brush. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. 

After we both read for about thirty minutes, we put our books aside at the same time on our bedside tables, making us look at each other. It feels so mirrored, but we soon look away. 

“I’m going to sleep now.” 

“Me too.” Her tone is flat. 

“I hope you don’t say some s

“I sleep with the lights off” 

like you sleep with the lights on.” 

“Good, because I wasn’t going to compromise.”

I’ve made sure that I’m far away from her as possible 

It’s also a good thing she’s right on the edge and I’m on the other side.

Chapter 37 

After the lights go out, I get under the covers, but just then, she gets out of bed and I turn around. 

I can see her silhouette in the dark since she’s standing by the window. 

“What are you doing?” I furrow my eyebrows. 

“None of your business.” Her tone is a little harsh. 

I can’t help but scoff. I guess I shouldn’t have asked.
