Eric's POV| stared at her shocked and confused when I heard what she saidShe asked me to kiss her not as Eric but as DOMTimI stared at her and realized she meant what shesaid.Taking a better look at her, I noticed she swallowed nervously and couldn't meet my gaze."Will you?".she asked slowlyI roughly ran my fingers through my hair and didn't know what to doI stared at her pink perfect lips and everything in me was screaming for me to pull her to myself and roughly kiss those tender lips, but I couldn't, I just couldn't"I can't". I murmured sadlyShe bites her lips and stared at me with a weak look ,it was obvious she was losing it"I'm sorry I shouldn't have bothered you when you've done a lot for me already, I'll go look for someone else"she murmured those words and was about walking away when I grab her and pulled her to me.She stared at me shock and confused with wild eyes that makes my bones weak"Close your eyes". I ordered,She stared at me with wild eyes but did not say a word."I hate when people disobey me". I muttered outin anger,She swallowed nervously before she closes her eyes and bites her lips nervously."Stay still". I orderedShe took in a deep breath and stood stilltaking a closer look at her, I realized she wasIndeed beautiful.My gaze fell on her lips and I couldn't resist it anymore.I pulled her more closely to me before taking her lower lips to mine Her lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own. I could feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath my nose, fingers carding through her hair as we breathed each other in.”... “Her lips were still sweet with alcohol from the whiskey shetook earlier with the DOM.I lost control and push her to the wall while I dip my fingers in her hair and gently stroke it.She moans softly as I left her hair and ran my fingers through her exposed shoulders while I still kiss her.She places her hand on my shoulder and deepens the kiss, she was a good kisser despite how innocent she was.I ran my fingers through her shoulder before running then on her thighsI watch her shivers in my touch and moans in the kiss, this was something she never did when she knew I was Eric.I felt everything in me asking me to pull her to the bed and lavish her body, but I couldn't.| slowly pull out from the kiss and stared into hereyes. Her eyes were dull, and her lips were swollen.She locks eyes with me and bites her lipsnervously that trigger something in meI took in a deep breath and move away from her."You can go". I murmured and turn my back to her,I noticed she hesitated for a while before I Started hearing footsteps and the door was opened and closed indicating she has left the room.I groaned in frustration when I noticed I was already hard by just kissing her.I sat on the couch with anger and closed my eyes.All that happened few minutes ago replayed in my head and for strange reasons I wanted to taste those soft lips of hers again."What are you doing" I murmured to myselfI was supposed to get rid of her I was supposed to avoid her but here I am fantasying about her lips.I stood up from the couch and left the room.I got outside the room and stared around the bar but couldn't see her.I took a seat and ordered for a drink while staring around to see if she was still in the club, but I couldn't find her.The constant ringing of my phone caught myattention.I went for my phone in my pocket and noticed thecaller was Victoria.| stared around if I could see her, but there was notrace of her.I went into my private room and called her back.She picked up the call"Hello"I spoke up while removing my mask, so my voice would sound as that of Eric's"I just saw the money in my account".shemurmured"Okay". I replied,She hesitated for a while before she spoke up"But I don't think I will be needing the money anymore".she spoke firmly"Why?". I asked confused"Because it feels like I sold my body to you for that money and I can't just live with it"Hearing those words from her, I hissed softly and sat on the bed before speaking up"If you don't want the money, what else do you need ". I asked"Nothing, I want nothing from you ".she replied quickly"What about your aunt, how will she get her treatment""How did you know my aunt is sick ".she asked shockedI ignored her question and stood up from the bed while I walk around aimlessly in the room.I can't let her return the money, if I do, then I won't be at rest because I knew she accepted to mate with me because of that money, and now she was trying to return it back, and I won't take it."Eric". her voice brought me back from my thought,"Are you even listening".she spoke up,"I am". "Where are you, so I can transfer the money back to you ".she asked firmly

I ran my fingers through my hair before speaking

up

"Sorry I won't be able to take that money". I spoke

firmly

She was about to say something when I heard voices from the background, but I couldn't hear what was happening.

"Victoria". I called out in panic but got no response from her

"Victoria". I scream out her name but still no

response.

I heard noises and realized her phone fell on the ground.

"Shit".
