That night, I’d been told I would join Dom for dinner once again.

I didn’t completely understand what was going on between us just yet, but whatever it was, I knew he felt it too. It was plainly obvious in his dark eyes and even more so when I was in his arms. I was desperate to know more about him. Desperate to find what made him tick.

Now that he was starting to take care of me properly, my malnourished body was finally starting to fill out a little. I stood in front of the mirror and studied my reflection, my fingers roaming down my hips.

He had sent another dress over, and I’d asked Sarah to leave so I could open it by myself. It was beautiful, but I never doubted his taste anyway. The beautiful nude satin that clung close to my body was covered with gorgeous white lace, the dress perfectly formfitting and hugging my curves. It was sleeveless and reached a little above my knees.

The heels were proving to be trouble. They were impossibly tall, nude and gold, and the second I put my foot down, I stumbled and broke the heel. I felt tears in my eyes as I stared at them broken in my hands. Then, I decided to just go down barefoot.

Dominic wasn’t waiting for me this time around, and I walked down the stairs without his watchful gaze on me. I approached him in the dining room, the table once again loaded with all kinds of amazing food, the scent of it assaulting my nostrils and making my mouth water.

He raised his eyes when I came closer.

I gave him a little apologetic smile, my bare feet cold against the marble floor.

“I can’t walk in the heels,” I explained, sitting down next to him just like last time. “They broke in seconds… I’m sorry, Dom.”

And for some reason, he didn’t even get upset with me. He stared for a few moments, then went back to his food, and I kept stealing glances at him as he ate.

He looked especially handsome in a perfectly tailored suit, his chin covered in dark stubble, and his blue eyes more expressive than he would like them to be. Finally, he spoke up.

“Eat, beautiful,” he said, never taking his eyes off his plate.

A pang of disappointment went through me. He hadn’t even commented on the way I looked, no mention of the dress or the makeup Sarah had helped me apply, or my hair and how perfectly done it was.

“You don’t like the way I look?” I asked, my voice shaking a little.

“You look like dessert,” he said firmly, finally looking back up at me. “So, if you don’t want me to do what I did last time, I suggest you tuck in and eat.”

I hid the smile on my face and started eating, cutting my food and stealing little looks at him the whole time I was eating.

I was worried, though, because neither of us mentioned the scene in the throne room earlier.
