Chapter 14

Dominic

She came awake with a sigh, her lashes fluttering as she stretched her arms out over her head. Spine arched, lifting her breasts to the ceiling, she lay there with a faint smile on her lips as she flexed her body. Before her, I'd never fallen asleep with anyone, let alone woken up next to a woman.

I felt like I could wake up next to Aleena every morning for the rest of my life.

I saw the exact moment when the fog of sleep cleared from her eyes and she realized we weren’t at the penthouse. She bolted upright in bed, her full lips parting as she groaned.

And it wasn't the good kind of groan.

“It wasn’t a dream.” She wasn’t really asking me anything, simply voicing her now-dashed hopes that the past day had been nothing but a bad dream.

Instead of stating the obvious, I leaned forward, weight on my elbows to study her. I'd been awake for hours. I had gone over this in my head a dozen times, more.

It had all been a waste of time because nothing I could say would change the simple fact that I’d failed her. Anything and everything I’d thought to say, to tell her, came off as nothing more than what they were: excuses. Lousy excuses for failing her.

Aleena didn’t think I'd failed her, but she didn’t understand how important it was for me to protect her. Out of all the women I had been with, out of all the 'relationships' I'd had, every single last one of them had been casual and based on nothing more than compatible sexual needs. Then, when it had mattered the most, I hadn’t been good enough.

I would have been angry even if this had happened with Maya or any number of other sexual encounters, but for it to have happened with Aleena, the woman who owned my heart?

Rage didn’t even begin to touch what I felt.

“You’re brooding.” She lifted an eyebrow as she lay back down and rolled onto her side so she could look at me

I eased out of the chair to sink onto my knees by the bed.

Only one woman could ever put me in this position. Only one woman made me willing to kneel. She lay there staring at me, our gazes locked. I reached out and brushed her hair back from her face.

“I’m sorry.”

She wanted to argue. I could see the words forming, but I shook my head and reached up to press one finger to her lips. She had to understand.

“I failed you, Aleena.” Even I could hear the urgency in my voice, but I couldn't seem to pull it under control. “When you agreed to be my Submissive, when you took my collar, there were promises involved. Yours to me, mine to you. I was supposed to protect you and I didn’t.”

Fire sparked in her eyes and she pushed herself up onto her elbows, leaning closer. “This isn’t on you. And Dominic, somebody betrayed you too.” She lay a hand on my cheek.
