When my mother–in–law earlier told me she had something spicy for me, I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t what I was thinking, but I
was wrong.
I’m in one of the bedrooms with her, and wearing a sexy nightgown in a deep shade of red. I can’t stop looking down at myself as I stand
before her.
“Mom, this is too short and revealing.”
“That’s the whole point!” She chuckles, crossing her legs while on the bed. “No one else is going toseethis except your husband. I know you probably have a lot of these, but I just felt like giving you something as well. Thiswasjust a sample from a friend’s collection that I picked out for you. I’m glad I had the chance to give it to you now.”
If only she knew that I have none of these sexy night outfits. I even left that lingerie box I got as a gift back on that island, but she’ll never find
out.
Forcing myself to smile, I nod as I sit beside her. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, my dear.Youknow, it’s very important in your early years of marriage to keep spicing things up. It helps you grow with it. That’s why even now, my husband and I still haven’t lost that spiciness.”
“Really?” My eyes widen in amusement.
“Of course!” She leans forward and whispers, “Don’t be fooled when you see us!”
As she giggles, she gently hits the side of my shoulder, then sighs while fixing my silky robe around the collarbone.
“This will drive Dominic crazy when heseesyou in it, considering the way he looks at you.”
I raise my eyebrows. “Thewayhe looks atme?”
“Of course. You think I don’t see it?”
“What areyoutalking about?”
“Come on, my dear. He’s my son and I know him, I’m always watching him.”
I don’t want to ask, but she’s made me socurious. “Howdoeshe look at me?”
“You know the answer to that. You’re his wife.” She giggles, placing a hand on her chest. “Oh, young love is so beautiful.”
Even as she changes the topic and talks about her grandchildren, I can’t stop thinking about the sexy short dress underneath my robe. Therehasto be something elseIcan wear in the bedroom. I’ll be sharing with Dominic. I don’t want him to think I’m trying to seduce him, because I’m not.
After spending some time chatting with her, Ichangeback into my dress, fold the nightgown, then place the book I asked for on top of it
“Well, I’ll have to get ready for bed now,” she says. “Ihavea busy morning ahead of me. I’m glad you’re spending the night here, even if it’s because of those crazy storms still going on out there. I hope you enjoyed our company tonight,”
“Of course. I loved every moment of it.” I give her a genuine smile.

“There’s something I need to tell you.” She suddenly turns serious,
“Is something wrong?”
“Not at all.” She gently places her hands on my shoulders. “I want you to always come to me when you feel you can’t talk to anyone else. I’ll always be here for you, my child.”
Her wordsareso heartwarming that I rest my head on her shoulder as she hugs me. She’s just likeamother to me now.
The elevator opens when I get to the third floor and my footsteps echo along the brightly lithallwayswith several doors.
Each step intake brings me closer to my bedroom with Dominic and I actually feel nervous.
Why can’t I just rush into one of these other bedrooms and spend the night there? That would work, if only I wasn’t in this house.
As it gently thunders outside, I get to the bedroom door and slowly get inside while facing the white floor illuminated by the warm lighting
overhead.
I even tell myself not to make it too obvious to Dominic that I’m a little nervous..
When I finally look up, I spot him standing at a far distance on the other side of the bedroom and my eyes widen a little. His shirt is
unbuttoned and he’s unbuckled his belt.
The sight of him like that makes it difficult to look away.
Just as he starts approaching me, Ilookto the side, standing right by the door and clutching the nightgown and book in my hands.
“Are you actually going to move from there, or do you plan to sleep right in that spot?” he asks, still approaching me.
I regret coming inside this room when I did. Why did it have to be the moment when I found him undressing?
With a deep sigh, I relax my shoulders and push myself forward. I can do this.
“And what’s that red fabric supposed to be?” he asks.
He’s not yet that close but the color is so striking that it’s noticeable.
I raise my head, my tone firm as I speak. “It’s a nightgown. My mother–in–lawgave it to me for a certain purpose, but I’m never using it for that purpose. I just want to make that clear to you.”
“Is that lace?” he asks, standing right in front of me.
“Yes.” I glance at the part of his sexy muscles I can see through his unbuttoned shirt, trying not to drop my gaze to his unbuckled belt.

He scoffs, making me look up at his face. “I see what my mother is trying do here. Well, it’s not going to work.”
“I know. That’s why I’m not sleeping in it.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Do you think you’ll be doing me a favor by not putting it on? Do you think I can’t handle the sight of you in
it?”
“I just don’t want you to get the wrong idea.”

“Get over yourself, Vanessa. I’ve seen my babe in so much lingerie that there’s nothing you can do that’ll blow my mind.”
Is he really daring me right now? That’s it.
“Fine, I’ll put it on for myself. You just said it yourself. It’ll have no effect on you.”
“Do whatever you want. I don’t give a fuck.”
He takes off his shirt and I clutch the stuff in my hands once again. Without saying anything more, he turns around and walks away from me, giving me the view of his back. His muscles are so well defined that they flex with every movement. What’s wrong with me?
Looking away, I approach the table that’s not too far from him, put down my stuff and sit in a chair as I take off my shoes.
“I was actually waiting for you to get here so we could speak in private,” he says, facing me and getting closer.
Looking up at him while his top half is exposed is not helping me at all. I can’t stop looking at his body.
1 clear my throat. “What is it?”
“Working alongside my father is a huge step. He’s already expecting me to be a father by the time hefinallylets me take over, which should be a year from now.”
“What are you trying to say?” I swallow hard, my eyes dropping to the contours of his well defined abs.
Just then, he takes out his belt a little aggressively in one pull as he says, “I’m getting you pregnant.”
