Dominic’s hot breath caressed the shell of her ear, snapping her out of her delusion he was planning to take this to romance. When he drew his head back, he quirked a brow and tipped his head down slightly.
"Oh." Heaven cleared her throat, almost embarrassed at having a silly mind. "Why do you have to word it like that? Gosh. I thought you were going to do something."
Heaven immediately removed her feet from his, avoiding his gaze to save herself some face.
"What did you think I’d do?" asked Dominic, staying on his spot even though her feet weren’t on his anymore.
"Hmm?"
"What did you think I’d do?" he repeated, tilting his head to the side. "Did you think I’d kiss you?"
"Hell no!" she denied aggressively. "There’s no way in nine hells I will think like that! I’m not a pervert. I just thought... just thought you will strangle me or something."
Dominic looked at her as a subtle smirk turned up on his face. "Sure."
The moment that word rolled out of his tongue, he turned on his heel to go back to where he could watch her. Meanwhile, as he walked away, Heaven pouted grumpily.
’He’s toying with me, is he?’ she wondered, mentally clicking her tongue. ’Damn it, self. Don’t rush things — you’ll only embarrass yourself.’
