Free The Billionaire's Bet #4: A Final Game (Erotic Romance with alpha male) by Clarissa Wild Page B

with the elevator that always reminded me of the first time we met. I quickly told myself that I should move on, and stepped out of the elevator. I got some chips and sat down at a roulette table, enjoying the company I had around me. It was fun being with people who were laughing. Much better than sulking by myself, and it provided me with safety in numbers.
    After a few times rolling and losing, I quit and got a tequila at the bar. It was then that I noticed music played in the ballroom up ahead. I looked up and peeked through the narrow gap, seeing people dance elegantly in long dresses.
    My curiosity overtook control of my body and guided me to the room. The music was soft and slow, there were tables and chairs to the side accompanied by buffets, couples danced in the centre, people were watching from the side. It was beautiful to see such romance at this casino.
    I sighed and just stood there, amazed at the sweetness.
    Suddenly, a hand touched my shoulder.
    I cocked my head and stared straight into Dominic’s bright blue eyes. Those shimmering, beautiful eyes, so full of love, which captured my attention instantly.
    He walked around me, wearing a sleek black suit. His finger gently trailed my arm, down to my hand as he stopped in front of me. “Hi, Julie.”
    “Dominic?” I stammered. I couldn’t believe he was here. Not seeing him for a week almost made me believe he wasn’t real anymore, as if he’d only been a figment of my imagination. But he was actually here.
    “Care for a dance?” He lifted my hand and left a tingling peck.
    “I … uh … What are you doing here?”
    “Shh,” he said, placing his index finger on his lips. “No questions. Just a dance. Nothing more.”
    He grabbed the tequila from my hand and placed it on a table. He gently tugged my hand, coaxing me to come with him. My feet let go of the floor and my legs started walking on their own. He walked backward, keeping his eyes on me, as he guided me across the dance floor.
    When we were in the middle, he placed my hand on top of his shoulder and grabbed my other hand.
    “Dominic, I can’t,” I muttered.
    My face was already getting red, just from seeing him. Being so close to him after a week of not seeing him at all made me extremely sensitive to his touch.
    “It’s only a dance … Please?” He raised his eyebrows , and the look in his eyes lured me in. It was so enchanting, the way he just swooped me off my feet, I couldn’t resist.
    He took my silence as a yes.
    Carefully, he started moving across the floor, his feet making the perfect slow dance steps. He was alluring to look at in his neat suit, with his hair swished back, his predatory eyes on my face. His warm hand squeezed mine as we swooshed across the floor, and he placed his other hand on my lower back.
    My mind went crazy, thinking about his hands on me. I could feel every one of his fingers, and my senses were making over hours just feeling his hand move from time to time. Oh, what I’d give for him to touch my naked body again.
    I swallowed. Don’t think about that Julie.
    A smile crept onto his face as he watched me. My cheeks were probably glowing.
    I tried to ignore his touch and focused on his eyes, but they were mesmerizing me. I looked at his thin lips, those delicious lips that I wanted to kiss, which could drive me insane.
    I quickly closed my eyes and breathed in and out a couple of times. Keep it together.
    He chuck led. “You seem anxious, Julie.”
    “ Yeah, well, I’m rather stunned that you just happened to be here where I was. How exactly did you know I was here? Have your men been spying on me?” My eyes narrowed.
    Dominic frowned. “No, of course not. If I wanted to keep tabs on you, I’d hang a couple of video cameras in your room.”
    My eyes widened.
    He laughed. “Relax, I’m joking. I would never invade your privacy … unless you want me to.”
    The wink that followed made my insides broil.
    I turned my head away, trying to keep my
