A/N: Long chapter! Settle in! Drink some tea and get cozy! That's how I unwind to write this story. Uh, btw, Adam is going to get a little bold in this chapter and then get shot down. So you won't see that side of him much if you don't like it. So when it comes to it, please tell me if you're feeling like ewwwww.

Dominic had brought me home a couple hours earlier, and unfortunately him and Lily had spent the time in his workout room. There was no opportunity to confront him. Finally, though, Lily had decided to go for a swim, starting her laps alone. Was Dominic not going to join her? I watched her swimming for about ten minutes before deciding it was finally time to face him. I had to do it quickly, before Lily finished her swim.

I needed to make Dominic understand that it was over between us. No more sneaking around, no more secret kisses behind Lily's back, no more shame. Seeing them together in the pool was enough to open my eyes to how shitty I was being. I had felt the rage that belonged to Lily. And then, to top it off, Dominic hit me, literally knocking some sense into me to end things for good.

My heart raced as I made my way upstairs. I noticed his office door was open down the hall. The workout room was empty, so I knew he must've finished his workout. I peeked into his office, surprised to find it empty as well. My stomach sank. That meant he was in their bedroom. With a sigh, I turned around and headed towards their bedroom door at the opposite end of the hallway. I knocked on the door.

"Come in," Dom called through the door.

I slowly pushed the door open, cautiously peering inside. My heart raced as I saw him lying in bed, laptop on his lap. When he noticed me, he patted the bed, inviting me to join him.

I shook my head, standing in the doorway. "We need to talk," I said, my voice filled with tension.

"Well, I can't hear you from there," he replied, engrossed in typing on his laptop. "Come in."

With a sigh, I stepped into the room, making sure to leave the door open behind me as an escape route and to discourage any unwanted advances. I doubted Dom would try anything with the potential of Lily walking in at any moment. I glanced around the room nervously, taking in the sight of Lily's belongings scattered about. Unsurprisingly, Dominic's side of the room was impeccably organized, not a thing out of place.

"Well?" he asked, closing his laptop and looking up at me from the bed. "Did you come for a kiss?"

His suggestion made me roll my eyes. "I came to end things," I replied, my tone flat.

"Hmm," he pretended to ponder. "I'm not sure I know what you mean."

I glared at him, growing increasingly annoyed. He sure as fuck knew what I meant.

"You're not to touch me again. Got it?" I asserted firmly.

"Sure," he shrugged nonchalantly. "On one condition," he added.

Uneasiness gripped my chest. Of course, he had conditions. "What?" I snapped impatiently.

"Kiss me one last time," he said, his hand gesturing to the spot beside him on the bed. "Right here."

"No way," I shook my head, taking a step back.

"C'mon!" He pleaded, stretching his long arm out towards me, quickly snatching my wrist, trying to pull me down on top of him.

I shook my head in refusal, slipping from Dom's insistent grip. There was no chance I'd let him touch me where he touched her. Dom looked determined, though, and as I retreated, the closet door thudded against my back, halting my escape. Like a sleek jaguar stalking its prey, Dominic advanced with a predators grace.
