Free Revengeful Deceptions by Ursula Dukes Page B

his gaze and
she knew when he was about to go over the edge. Her muscles clenched tightly
around him and he kissed her deeply and passionately as she brought him over,
causing him to shudder and collapse as he laid his head upon her chest.
    Both lay still as they caught their
breath.  She wasn’t expecting what came next.
    “Being with you just now was
amazing Dominique, to be honest, I was hoping this night would end this way. I
know I don’t what this to end.”
    Dominique couldn’t believe what she
was hearing, she immediately sat up. She did not want this, she wanted simple
sexual gratification and that’s just what she got and now here was this
incredibly attractive man telling me that he wants more. Could she do it? He
did make her feel alive again and that was something she hadn’t counted on. But
she also couldn't stop thinking about his brother Brandon and what he did to
her family.
      “Adam, I thought my feelings for you would be
purely sexual and that once we had sex, I’d be able to detach myself from you
but it only intensified my feelings for you Adam and that thought terrifies
me.”
    “Why Dominique, why does it scare
you?”
    Because you’re the brother of a
cold blooded killer who left my husband and son to die. “Because Adam, we
just met. I'm sorry Adam but I need for you to leave,” she said, her voice
trembling.
    Adam also sat up and looked at
Dominique as she sat cradling herself.
    She's shielding herself away
from the world ; Adam thought to himself, she's shielding herself from
me.
    “Dominique I’m gonna go out on a
limb here and tell you that even though we just met, things happen Dominique and this is one of those things. We are both attracted to each other
and we're both adults, so let’s just take it from there, I want to know
everything about you Dominique Foster, absolutely everything. I will never hurt
you and I promise, if you'll give me a chance, I’d  make you the happiest
woman in the world, I don’t waste time when going after what I want Dominique
and I make no qualms about it. I also don't think that you want me to leave,”
Adam said, as his hand brushed against her cheek.
    Dominique hated the fact that he
was right, no she didn't want him to leave but she knew that there was no way
she could fall for him. Not under these circumstances, she thought to
herself.
    Burying her head in her hands she
whispered, “Adam, I’m so sorry but I can't do this and please don’t ask me why,
I just can't. Adam please, if you have any feelings for me at all, you'll
leave,” she said, her eyes wet with tears.
      “As you wish Dominique but know this, I’m not
giving up, I want you Dominique and I know you want me, I’m not giving up.”
    Adam took her face in his hands and
kissed her long and deep. Then he reluctantly got out of bed, got dressed and
walked out the door.
    Dominique had spent nearly an hour
talking on the phone to her friend Pam. After the night she had just shared
with Adam, she needed someone to tell her what to do.
    “I can’t tell you what to do Dom,
but what I can tell you is that it sounds to me that by your ready to move on
but you’re feeling a bit guilty, so listen to me, and listen good. It's been
two years since you lost not only your son but your husband, who was also your
best friend and lover. Nothing can change that Dominique and spending the rest
of your life alone is not going to make you feel better and it’s not going to
bring them back.  You know, sometimes we think that if we hold on to those
who have left, it will make us stronger, but I know that in your case, letting
go will make you stronger and Stephen would not want you to avoid moving on
Dom, he just wouldn’t and you know that.
    If there is nothing that you have
learned from this tragic act, it’s that life is short and you deserve to be
happy Dominique so please, please try and open yourself up to Adam and remember,
just because you move on does not mean that you forget.
