Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella) novel Chapter 357

Dominic chuckled at Bella's challenge. "Whoever makes a move is a dog?"

She kept a serious expression. "Exactly!"

With a mischievous glint in his eye, he leaned in close. He slightly opened his lips and whispered in a soft, magnetic voice, "Woof…"

His lips brushed her cheek as he teased, "I already barked… At least let me make it worth it."
