Chapter 4

• Dominic hears the loud yelp coming from the direction of her apartment and slam the door of the car rushing forward to see her about to get hit, his face darkened with rage and he charge forward speedily grabbing the assailant and crush his bones.
• A fierce growl tore from his throat as he shove him away, throwing him to the ground and his eyes burned with an inner fury, shifting from human green to a piercing lupine gold.
• Gabriel grunt and turn angrily at the one who has pushed but seeing the yellow light blazing from his eyes, he froze in fear and blinked hard, his pupil constricting in shock.
• “I will rip your throat out” Dominic’s wolf emerge driven by a fierce protective instinct for his pup.
• Gabriel trembles on the floor and hurry to scurry off not wanting to get killed and Bellamy watch him run like a coward.
• She turn to Dominic whose look has dissolved a bit and it now staring at her, she try to stand properly and mumble thanks to him.
• “Who is that?” his words were laced with a quiet fury, his voice trembling with suppressed rage.
• “My ex-fiance” Bellamy let out.
• She did not want him seeing how messy her life is or have something that could end her deal with him.
• “I assure you Sir we are done. There is nothing to worry about” she said not believing it herself.
• “It does not look like it.” he replied and take a hard breathe down.
• Bellamy bow her head a bit, her tongue dart out to moisten her lips, a habitual gesture that reveal her inner unease.
• She did not know what to tell him as she did not want him involved and it does not seem like he would care personally about her although the angry outburst earlier made her heart flutter.
• He move past her and pick the first bag and reach for the second while she watched surprise and amused, he walk forward and she hurry to lock the apartment before following after him.
• “Get into the car” he orders as he close the boot and she comply obediently.
• He get into the car and zoom out immediately, the ride to his house fill with silence and awkward breathes that almost make Bellamy lose her mind.
• The next morning when Bellamy wakes up, she realize her environment and get with a start, reaching for her slippers.
• She spend the night at her Boss’ house, in one of his bedrooms.
• Bellamy thought as she walk out of the room and glance around to guess which one of the three rooms he could be sleeping in right now.
• After bringing her back last night, he just show her to the room and she hasn’t seen him since then. She walk to the kitchen feeling starved and try to make something to eat.
• Dominic’s dark hair look disheveled, like it is rebelling against him sticking up at odd angles. He push it back as he grunt frustrating not able to get a good night sleep.
• He has listened to every of her movement last night, how she hums and snores lightly and the overwhelming scent of her soap or whatever she has applied before going to sleep.
• It is a bad idea having her this close, his nostril twitches all night and he have difficulty closing her eyes knowing that she is just a door away.
• He is not yet over his lost sleep when a nice smell of fried eggs hits his nose and he squeeze his face wondering what is going on.
• Bellamy stare at the beautiful delicious meal she has just cooked and place the coffee right beside it just like he always have it.
• When she is done setting the table, Bellamy glance up expecting him to walk him but after about a minute, she decide to go call him for breakfast.
• As she make a turn, she barrelled into his chest, but before she could stumble, his hands cradle her elbows and he pull her back.
• Bellamy hit her forehead on his chest and let out a low muffled yelp while Dominic stifle his in, squeezing his face a bit.
• She glance up at him slowly and find his eyes staring back at her, like a magnet, it draws her in. Somehow, she feel lost in the depths of his stunning, green-flecked eyes.
• “What are you doing?” Dominic asked, his face questioning as he tilt his neck.
• Bellamy jolt out of her little trance and push his hands away moving back from him, emitting a stilt, throat-clearing sound, a forced attempt to regain her composure.
• “I wanted to see if you are ready, breakfast is set” she said pointing to the invisible dinning table.
• Dominic walk past her as she speaks and she follow briskly after him to the dinning room. He stop a few steps to the table and gaze at the table in an expressionless look.
• He heaves trying to think of a way to tell her without sounding mean but no matter how he frame it, he could not think of a good way to let her down.
• “First rule, never cook for me” his voice cut through the air, sharp as a knife.
• Bellamy’s face falter and her excitement disappear instantly, she did not realize her action would upset him.
• “Second rule, make sure you go to bed before nine” Dominic turn frosty to her as he mete out his instructions. His manner stiff and unfeeling.
• “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be a nuisance” Bellamy’s voice crack with emotion looking contrite.
• Dominic nod slightly and walk away to the direction leading out of the house while Bellamy stand watching him with her face looking a bit solemn.
• As soon as she hear the sound of the door locking, she rush to the table and scoop a large part of the bread in to her mouth, eating fast while counting the seconds in her head.
• She take a little drink of the black coffee squinting at the bitter taste before rushing out after him praying he hasn’t abandon her and left for the office yet.
• Bellamy stop to check her mouth for any oily grease and adjust her shirt before moving to the car and get it for him.
• “Sorry, I was putting the plates away” she quickly excused and go round the car to take the driver seat.
• Dominic rest his elbow on the seat rest and try not to look at her, he put two fingers on his temple thinking about earlier when he grab her into his arms.
• He felt her warmth seep into his skin when their bodies touched, he took in the breathe of her scent and feel mesmerized for a second there.
• “Would you like to meet the PR team first?” Bellamy asked as she fix her eyes firmly on the road.
• ‘I would like to hold you close again and lock you into my arms while I explore the taste of your lips’
• Dominic hear his wolf growl inside his head and he shake his head to push him out of his thoughts feeling overwhelmed by his feelings at the moment.
• When he did not respond, Bellamy glance back a bit to ask if he heard her but notice his discomfort and slow down the car feeling worried.
• “Are you alright?” she asked, staring at him.
• “Just shut up and drive Belle” he snarled at her, glaring icy and sternly.
