Chapter 27

Liliana

Beautiful.

One word strikes my mind halting every emotion as I stare at my reflection.

The dress I'm wearing tonight is classy. It's red.
Dark and bold.
Sexy and sultry.
It hugs me kin a second skin, the sequins shimmering when I walk emphasizing my curves. The dress has a mandarin collar as all my dresses do. A narrow kite-shaped hole between the chest reveals the curves of my breasts. My back is concealed too. A mid-thigh slit exposes my left leg. The dress was my choice. I wanted to wear something bold and sexy, something I never tried before and Victoria also agreed.

Victoria did my makeup highlighting my eyes with red and gold shimmer which she was quite content with. I learned the make-up but I'm not quite perfect. I did don the crimson lipstick though. I told her to do my hair up leaving the loose strands framing my face. So she tied my hair with a Chinese hairpin twisting into a bun. I am wearing the black stilettos with dainty diamond straps to tie at the ankle.
Taking one last glance at my reflection I whirl striding out of the room.

As I reach the stairs I see Dominic at the end. He's leaning on the rails his ankles crossed, head dipped into the mobile screen. I take the advantage of checking him out.
He is devilishly sexy in his black tuxedo with a crisp white shirt underneath taking my breath away. Dominic is not built in bulk he is lean with good muscles on his body which clings to his tux or rather tux is clinging to him. Every piece of his clothing is tailored for him.

Kai enters through the front door in a black suit checking his watch and muttering something in Dominic ears. His shoulders tense but soon relax and I wonder what's the commotion about.

Kai notices me first nodding at me whistling low. Dominic turns back and I fail to breathe.

The influence is instant.
The pull is magnetic.
And the spell is electric. 

The way his blue orbs morph from midnight blue to almost black dancing over me as I descend the stairs. My body tingles with anticipation unable to move my eyes away from him.
As I reach the end my senses are filled with his rich masculine scent. It's woodsy, rich, dominating and male. Alpha male.
His eyes never leave mine. He extends his palm and I take it.

"What are you wearing tonight?" His breath is heavy with a hint of seduction.
Batting my eyes I reply "Not liking to your taste?"
"So much that I want to bend you over the railing and take you from behind."

"I think I'll have to do a rain check on the gala." He whispers huskily in my ears.
"Shall we?" I'm playing with fire and he knows it. I smirk in triumph aware that he won't be.

Dominic takes a step closer dipping his head in my neck and inhaling sharply. His hand snakes my waist pulling me close to his chest.
"You better stick to me tonight?"
"Why? Afraid you'll murder someone?" I chuckle.
"Yes. You want me to display my wife in public looking like a goddess?" He sucks on my skin just below the ear and I chew on my lower lip preventing the escaping moan. At the back of my mind, I'm in joy with his words of affection.

"I would rather tie you to my bed than have the motherfuckers lust over you." 

"We are going to be late." I push at his chest and discover the reaction for the first time. He's disappointed and annoyed and angry all at once. He's close to whining. Yet, his eyes display desire. I try my best not to laugh out loud.

"Let's go." He replies in a grumpy tone. Yet, he doesn't let go of me.

A shiny black Limousine is waiting for us. I look up at Dominic and he smirks at me. Even in my heels, he's tall and towering. He let me enter first following close to me. The door shuts and I'm transported into a different realm. Every nook screams luxury.
