Addicted To You

Chapter 8

"You seem to be very quiet." Dominique muses as he sits across from me at the cafe table. I give him a weak smile and shrug.

"Don't you think this is a bit weird?" I ask him softly.

"Not at all. Two people having coffee is pretty normal actually." He says with a joking tone and a cheeky smile. I roll my eyes as I try to keep the smile at bay, I'm trying to be serious with him but I don't seem to be able to at the moment.

"I'm being serious though, I mean you've taken me out to coffee, a married woman who happens to be the same woman who employs you." I say loud enough so only he can hear me.

He gives me a soft smile. Obviously understanding that I'm nervous and not exactly sure about this whole ordeal. He takes my hand in his over the table, caressing my hand with his thumb.

"I know you're married and technically my boss but I've moved passed the point of caring." He says. I look at him with a questioning look, encouraging him to continue.

"I'm not baking away. I will fight for you." He says in a serious tone that I hadn't heard him use before. It both frightened and excited me.

I couldn't help but wonder, maybe I should stop fighting what I'm feeling and just embrace it. But as quickly as the thought came, it left and in its place was self loathing and guilt from thinking about him and I having a shot when I am married. I don't think I can do that to Mason. Not after everything he does for our family. The amount of overtime he does and the way he is with the kids. I don't think I can live with myself if I break up our family over some other guy who I don't love. Don't get me wrong, I have feelings for him, but I love Mason.

"I don't think you should do that." I say. He gives me this hurt look, but it's quickly covered.

"No matter if you think you won't choose me over Him. I can't live with myself if I don't at least try to win you over." He says with a weak smile. I sigh and move my hand from his before standing up, putting money next to our bill and walking out of the cafe.

I see him get up behind me from the corner of my eye. He follows me out toward te car. Nothing is said though, I just wait for him to unlock the car before opening the door and getting in.

He watches me, not starting the car, his body turned toward me. I sigh and give in, looking his way. When I do, my lips are captured by his straight away. His hands hoping my face as he deepens the kiss straight away, his tongue finding it's way around my mouth skilfully. I can feel my heart tearing to pieces as I allow myself to kiss him back. My hands are on his chest, I can feel how hard his heart is beating which both excites and frightens me. His lips against mine heating my body up. I move one of my hands up toward his neck before into his hair, tugging lightly as he bites on my lip making me moan.

He pulls our lips apart and rests our foreheads together.

"This...this is why I won't stop. Because even if I wanted to, I'm to addicted to you. To the way you feel when I have a hold of you, when we kiss, the ea you make me feel and even the way you say my name drives me insane." Dominique confesses with a sigh. I close my eyes tightly. I know he's right. I feel those feelings too and I also know that it'll be pretty much impossible for me to stay away from him, but I have to try, for my marriages sake, I have to try.

"I get it... but I have o try with my marriage. I can't just throw it away." Dominique gives me a smile.

"I get it. But do me a favour, don't just be in your marriage. Observe it. The way he treats you and makes you feel and the way I do. I'll wait. But I can't promise I'll keep my hands to myself while I do." He says with a small smirk, I blush and roll my eyes. I pull from his embrace and sit back into my chair.

"Sounds like a plan." I say softly. He smiles and starts the car up.
