Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 297

Dominic's warm breath skimmed along Vespera's cheek, and the low, velvety whisper was meant for her ears alone.

Her skin instantly flushed a shade of pink that practically glowed.

She shut her eyes in despair.

Could someone please explain why a man who was supposed to be out wining and dining clients is now standing behind her, whispering in her ear?

And more importantly, Dominic had been eavesdropping.

Right, how dare he eavesdrop on her phone call!

"You—" She whipped around, annoyed. "Listening to someone else's phone call is rude and uncivilized! You're totally lacking in gentlemanly conduct!"

Dominic nodded slightly toward the cup in front of her.

"Gerard took my place at the lunch, so I had to come down and get water myself. I didn't mean to overhear. Vera, you were just a little too into it," he said.

Vespera opened her mouth and then shut it again. She squirmed in her seat. "It's working hours."

"It's lunch break."

She fell silent.

Lunch break was when people needed breathing space.

Dominic casually turned her high stool to face him and looked at her seriously. "Ms. Gildon, am I allowed to chat with my girlfriend during my lunch break?"

Girlfriend…

Vespera suddenly remembered what he'd said the night before about mutual respect. He respected that she didn't want to take responsibility, but she had to respect that he was treating her as his girlfriend.

She stared at him silently, eyes wide.

Dominic narrowed his gaze. "Don't tell me you're trying to back out now."

Vespera licked her lips. "I'm not backing out, but… can we just slow down a little?"

She still hadn't recovered from the emotional rollercoaster of their sudden shift in dynamic. He couldn't go from a drop tower straight onto a spinning pirate ship, okay?

"Vera, you're worried about people finding out, aren't you?" Dominic said, easily reading the look in her eyes.

With that, Dominic wrapped an arm around her waist, leaned down, and swept her off the stool. His eyes locked on her slightly parted lips, still stunned by the sudden move.

Then, he kissed her deeply.

Vespera's eyes went wide in shock.

Oh my God! They were in the break room!

She struggled for a second, but the kiss was warm and dizzyingly sweet, coaxing her to let go. Still, just before she completely melted into it, she came to her senses and bit him.

Dominic let go of her. He casually wiped the corner of his lips. "My bad. Got carried away. Do I seem like a perv now?"

Vespera ground her teeth. "I am a perv, fine."

She decided it was a very bad idea to stay in the break room a second longer. She peeled his hand off her waist, marched out, and returned to her office. Her eyes fell on the pill pocket on her desk, then to her empty water cup.

She slapped her forehead.

Great. Horniness makes people stupid.
