The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 

Vanessa 

As soon as the elevator doors open, I step out first, placing a hand on my chest to catch my breath while I make my way through the corridor until he speaks to me. 

“And where do you think you’re going? That’s the wrong way.” 

I stop in my tracks, turning around with my head low as I make my way back to him. 

“I didn’t know that,” I say to him. 

“Then why did you lead the way?” 

“I don’t know.” I shrug, still keeping my head low. 

He shakes his head at me and chuckles softly, leading the way in the other direction. 

He stops at a certain door and unlocks it, keeps it open for me to get inside. 

The suite is so spacious that it exceeds my expectations and I get away from him so I can look around. There’s a spacious living room, kitchen and dining room. 

By the time I get to the bedroom, he’s already standing there, looking at the bed with crossed arms. 

“There’s only one bed?” I ask, this not being what I was hoping for. 

“Yeah and it’s big enough for both of us,” he says with a poker face. 

“I know.” 

“Then let’s go back.” 

He walks ahead of me and I look back at the bed, thinking about tonight. Once he falls asleep, I plan to leave the bed and sleep on the sofa or anywhere else. As long as I’m not close to him. Of all the times I shared a bed with him, there’s never been a moment where he didn’t touch me. For the sake of my own feelings, I don’t want that to happen. 

As I make my way to the door, he keeps it open for me, not even looking in my direction as I walk past him. While he locks the door, he looks at both sides of the corridor. 

“I love everything about this hotel,” he says. “My favorite thing of them all is that the rooms are sound proof.” 

He casually walks past me after saying that, leaving me to wonder why he even said it. 

Back in the elevator, I make sure he doesn’t stand behind me and just as it goes down, he firmly speaks to me. 

“There’ll be lots of food and alcoholic beverages and I plan to keep you close to me. I don’t want you making a scene.” 

“Why would I make a scene?” I glance at him with furrowed eyebrows. 

He only scoffs and that makes me curious. 

“Is there something I don’t know about that night?” I ask. “Did I do or say something I shouldn’t have?” 

All I can think about is how my top half was exposed to him and how we passionately kissed on my bed. 

“Maybe you did. Maybe you didn’t,” he says. “Just don’t overdo it.” 

He’s right and I don’t mean to. The last thing I want is to lose control when I’m trying so hard not to fall for this temptation. 

As the event gets in full swing, with trying out samples that smell so good and speeches, Dominic holds me close the entire time. All I can think about is how he’s doing all this for the cameras, not because he wants to. On the other hand, I do and I hate that I do. 

At the after–party, we have a VIP section and Frank’s with two girls on one side of the table. 

“Had Jake stayed for this, he would’ve had a blast!” Frank yells over the music a little too loudly. 

“You’ve got that right.” Dominic chuckles, pouring himself his last glass of whiskey from the bottle he’s just finished.

Chapter 94 

As I sip on my wine, he constantly watches me while we’re next to each other. 

“I’m not a kid, you know? I can easily handle myself,” I say to him. 

He scoffs. “That’s what you said last time and then it all just fucked you up.” 

“I’ll obviously be careful this time. After this glass, I’m not drinking anymore. I’ll just have some food and that’s-” 

“You’re not sitting close enough to me,” he says, cutting me off. 

“What?” 

“Come closer.” 

He wraps his arm around my waist, his sudden pull making me rest my hand right on his chest. My fingertips come in contact with the exposed part at the top and I glance at it, then up at his face. 

For a moment, I feel his hand slide down to my thigh and that makes me close my eyes. The last thing I want to do right now is to end up kissing him the way I did back at the other party when I sat on him. 

It seems he’s getting a little tipsy as his eyes scan my figure in a less subtle way and I swallow hard, unable to handle it. I shouldn’t be so close right 

now. 

“I’ll be right back.” I look away from his gaze, rising to my feet. 

“Where are you going?” He stares right at the side profile of my figure with a smirk. 

“I need the ladies‘ room.” 

He leans back with a nod. “Hurry up and come back to me.” 

That almost sounds like he wants me, but I remind myself that he’s getting drunk. 

On my way back from the ladies‘ room, accompanied by the bodyguards, I run into Mike and he licks his lips. 

“What is the gorgeous Mrs Richards doing all on her own?” 

“I just needed the ladies‘ room.” 

“Where’s my friend?” 

“He’s in the VIP lounge. Are you looking for him?” 

“Of course not. How about a picture?” 

“Yeah, of course.” 

“Excellent!” He gets his phone ready, stands very close to me and snaps a picture. 

“You know what? I’m going to post this picture on the official Aurum Elite page. That diamond necklace around your neck is so breathtaking and I’m glad you brought it with you. It only adds to your beauty.” 

“Thank you. I should be getting back now.” 

“Of course. If there’s anything you need, please let me know.” He smiles at me. 

I nod with enthusiasm, then face the other direction. 

As I make it through the crowd and run into a few whistling men, I spot Dominic, Frank and the two girls rapidly taking shots. It makes me shake my head. Dominic’s going to be extremely drunk. 

Even as I get closer, Dominic looks right at me. The whiskey must’ve made him bold enough to just stare at me as he licks his lower lip and I feel a sensation between my legs. 

Then, he holds out his hand when I’m right next to him without saying a word. I’m so clueless as to why and when I give him my hand, my eyes widen as he pulls me down, making me sit in his lap and it leaves me flustered. 

Feasting his eyes on my exposed shoulders and collarbone, he says, “So, you were talking to Mike.” 

“How did you know that?”

“I have the bodyguards reporting to me. What were you talking about?” 

“He just wanted a picture.” 

“Apart from that.” He glances at my lips. 

Equally glancing at his lips, I say, “He was just talking about the necklace.” 

“I see. I ordered some food for you.” He tilts his head. 

“You did?” I find myself tilting mine in response. 

He gently strokes my chin as he says, “Yes.” 

“Thank you.” 

I know what this means yet I don’t even move away and that gives him the green light. He smashes his lips on mine and I wrap my arms around his neck, closing my eyes and losing myself for a moment. There are no cameras here, no one to really show off to, so why is he kissing me and holding my waist so firmly with a longing that I can’t describe? Why don’t I want to pull away? 

Just when I think he’s about to pull away, he places his hand on my knee, moving it up my thigh a little as he moans against my lips. It sounds so sexy that I touch him some more, running my fingertips on the exposed part of his chest. 

I can already feel that tingling sensation between my legs and when my erect nipple brushes against his chest, my eyes widen and I come back to 

my senses. 

As I attempt to pull away, he breathes hard as he tugs on my lower lip. 

We make eye contact and all I can see is that he’s drunk. 

Glancing at my erect nipples then up into my eyes, he says, “Get off of me.” 

“Good. I wonder what took you so long to say it.” 

It’s only after I sit down next to him that I realize Frank’s right here, except he’s too focused on his girls while they’re on the other side of our table. 

As I sip a little more wine, I can’t stop thinking about what just happened and even now, I can feel Dominic’s eyes on me. 

Leaning forward, he says. “You better not get drunk.” 

“Like you?” I smirk, looking over at him. 

He scoffs. “I’m different because I’m able to handle my alcohol well. I’m always in control.” 

“Of course you 

are.” 

All I can think about is how he’s already losing control.
