Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 10 - Restroom sex
I hadn’t heard from Dominic in two days, so I flipped through my phone contacts and dialled Lena’s number. She was the only person I could talk to about this friends-with-benefits thing with my roommate’s brother since I couldn’t talk about it with Kat for obvious reasons.The ringtone resonated inside the speaker, and I waited until she picked up. I was about to end the call when Lena finally answered.“Why did it take you so long to answer my call?”“I was doing something,” Lena replied absentmindedly.That didn’t sound like her. Usually, Lena was more upbeat without being in Kat’s category.“Is everything okay?”“I’m not sure. Chuck has been acting strange lately, and I don’t know what to make of it.”“Stranger than usual?”“You know how Chuck is. I never know what he’s thinking in that funny head of his. But I love him to death. I just hope he’ll stop avoiding me—like… we live in the same apartment. There aren’t many places for him to go without me being there, and I keep feeling h
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 11 - Early night
It was pretty quiet at the pub tonight. I leaned against the bar counter and swirled my finger over the surface when Kat walked through the front doors. It was only her and Nate. Dominic wasn’t with them.Why do I miss him? Ugh. Get a grip on yourself, Liv!My roommate waved her hand at me, and Nate tipped his head in my direction.When they settled in their usual booth, I took out some glasses to polish and pretended to be busy.I had grown accustomed to having Dominic sitting in the corner with a dark, brooding look, overseeing every small action I made from a distance. I had thought it weird initially, but ever since I slept with him, I found it sexy—like he was letting everyone know they were in his territory or something like that. It was incredibly Alpha male of him, but I secretly loved his attention.I also envied his confidence, which I lacked. I acted like I had plenty, but deep down, my shattered soul barely held on with duct tape.“No Playboy tonight? That’s going to be a r
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 12 - Getting spoiled
My lips parted and trembled as I raked my fingers in Dominic’s hair to press his head over my pussy and urge him on.His tongue darted over my clit, and his fingers inside my tight channel slipped in and out until he kept them inside and rubbed the upper part where the sweet spot was. It was bliss.I mewled loudly but brought a hand up to muffle the sounds as I came with Dominic’s expert ministrations. I heard him chuckle, and my face blushed crimson.He gradually returned up, kissing me from my navel to my neck.“Good morning, beautiful.”I had to admit I enjoyed waking up to this, especially after a nightmare-free slumber.“Good morning to you, too,” I replied, licking my lips and bringing the covers to my face so Dominic wouldn’t see my flushed face.Dominic got out of bed and left my room. I threw the covers off me and ran to tackle him back inside the bedroom. He looked at me puzzlingly but then laughed when he understood why I was pulling him back.“Katherine already left,” Domin
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 13 - Business meeting
I stepped out of the cab and grabbed Dominic’s hand. Nadia had cinched the dress so tightly that I had difficulty breathing. I now wondered how I would eat without throwing everything back up.However, the dress fit like a glove and made me feel like a movie star.The hair salon also did a number on my head. My long, naturally dark-brown hair had been curled into a blowout look and tumbled gently on my shoulders and back, bouncing with every step I took.After Dominic helped me out of the car, his hand possessively came to my waist and brought us closer together.“As much as you look ravishing in that dress, and I can’t stop looking at you, I can’t wait to take it off later tonight and fuck you while you’re only wearing those high heels,” he said in his baritone voice.His words sent shivers along my spine, and I couldn’t help biting my lower lip with eagerness.“I’ll hold you to that.”Dominic escorted me inside the Italian restaurant to meet his potential client and brought me into a
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 14 - Piano
I called in sick at work and didn’t do my Saturday and Sunday shifts. I felt horrible for what I had said to Dominic. I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy spending time with the man, but that was precisely the problem. I shouldn’t want to spend every waking moment with him. It would defeat the purpose of my rule. The rule I had come up to ensure my sanity.“God. You’re so fucked up,” I cried at myself.I couldn’t follow the stupid rule when I already broke it. It was too late. Feelings for Dominic had sunk their teeth into my skin, and I couldn’t shake them away. The proof of it was me lying in my bed, unable to leave my room because I couldn’t face him—couldn’t face the fact I might have ruined a perfectly suitable arrangement because of my stupid brain.There was a soft knock at my door, and I stuck my head out from under the covers.“Who is it?” I croaked.“It’s Kat. Can I come in?”I groaned and rolled the sheets of my bed tighter around my body. I didn’t know if I could face
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 15 - Thanksgiving
Dominic’s hand stroked my ass cheek, and I heard him groan against my skin. “Why do you smell so good all the time? It’s intoxicating just having you by my side.”My lips curved of their own volition, and I raked my fingers into Dominic’s hair, making it messier than it was before.“I don’t know, but I could say the same for you.”Tuesday night, after I did my shift at the pub, Dominic came over and stayed. That had been two days ago, and he still refused to leave. We made out and fucked, over and over again, like teenagers, and now I wondered what life without Dominic Moore would even look like?My stomach growled, making Dominic lift his head.“You’re not one of those women who gets ‘hangry’, are you?”I brushed his cheek with my fingers and grinned. “Depends.” I laughed.He promptly stood up and searched for his clothes on the floor of my room. I rather liked him naked. His round ass and perfectly muscled thighs made me hungry for something else.“I’ll make you breakfast.”I rolled
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 16 - Broken things
I did what I always do whenever I’m overwhelmed. I hid and avoided.After meeting Dominic’s mother, I went to work and had another impromptu sleepover at Jody’s place. I was slick and able to make up an excuse not to go home with Kat, Nate, and Dominic, who had shown up later that night. I blamed it on having to do the inventory.Dominic was suspicious. It was plain as day, but I didn’t care.I couldn’t bear to confront him about what his mother had said to me or what I had pieced together in my head. Perhaps it was only in my mind. After all, I had a tendency to overthink things. But I couldn’t remove the scene from my head, nor the tender kiss Dominic gave me before I left for work.It was public and affectionate. It was more than just sex.As the days progressed, it was just a matter of leaving the house early in the morning and coming home super late, first having checked if Dominic was there to evade him. I texted Kat like a mad woman, always asking if the coast was clear. My room
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 17 - Salted wounds
Lena’s apartment was pleasant. It was in an apartment complex in the city’s core and offered a magnificent view. I was scared of heights, so I stayed as far as possible from the windows but still enjoyed the panoramic scene from the comfort of Lena’s armchair in her living room.She hadn’t expected me, and the space was a bit of a mess from her having a meltdown when Chuck left. I couldn’t blame her.The water kettle whistled in the kitchen while Lena prepared two cups of tea. I stayed in the living room and flipped through the piles of magazines and books that littered the coffee table. Once I was done, I stacked them in the corner and cleaned up a bit so we’d be more comfortable talking.I knew what was coming would put salt in our wounds, but it needed to be done.“How was the flight? I know you hate planes,” Lena asked, placing my cup in front of me.I smiled at her and took the cup in my hands to warm my fingers. They were frozen.“It was fine.”Lena nodded and took a sip of her t

One year laterIt was my last night at Crowns, the pub where I had worked for the past five years. As I walked in, the place was buzzing with clients, most of whom I recognized as regulars. It was a relief to see fewer drunken visitors since the tourist season had ended, but it also meant fewer tips since the summer was the peak of our year.I made my way to the back of the bar, where my colleagues Luke and Martin were training my replacement and playfully throwing dishcloths at each other for something funny that was said. Joining in on the banter, I laughed at their silly antics.As the night went on, I felt sentimental about leaving Crowns. It had been my home away from home for so long, and I had made so many memories there. But I was also excited about my new job as a conservator at the museum, where I would specialize in the conservation of pieces from the 1800s to 1900s era. The items I would care for and conserve consisted mostly of home appliances, decorations, and furniture,
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 54 - Tying loose ends
I arrived at the restaurant earlier than agreed upon and asked the server to sit in the bar section while I waited for the person I was meeting to show up. I had chosen this place purposefully so my guests wouldn’t cause a scene—not that I thought they would make one, but just in case.The restaurant was a chic place downtown, and I had dressed for the occasion, flaunting a beautiful smoky-grey cocktail dress with tulle sticking out from the bottom. It was one of Nadia’s designs, and I had paired it with a flat black shoe. The dress was shoulderless, so I brought a shawl to keep my back and my arms warm because whenever I was nervous, my hands became blocks of ice.Earlier in the week, I had a scheduled appointment at the hospital. During the appointment, the medical team replaced my thick and heavy plaster casts with new, removable plastic moulded ones with Velcro straps. The new casts were a welcome relief, as they were less bulky and more comfortable, allowing me to move around with
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 53 - I love you
Lena helped me bring my stuff back to my room. Afterward, she called Chuck to ask if he could come over and back us up. Chuck was over six feet tall and shaped like a football player. He was a big softy, all mush and gooey on the inside and would never hurt anyone, but Richard didn’t need to know that. My stepfather wouldn’t dare try anything if I had him with me.The next thing on my list was finding out where Richard was staying. We would have the upper hand if I could find him before he saw me—at least, that was what I thought. After that, I simply needed to find my old phone to retrieve important things from it.“Okay,” called Lena from the hallway. “Chuck is on his way as soon as he gets off work tonight. It’s an hour-long flight, so he’ll get here around eight-ish. Did you call McHottie to tell him we’re back in town?”I winced and started chewing the inside of my cheek. When Lena walked inside my bedroom and saw me wriggling with anxiety, she huffed and crossed her arms disappro
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 52 - Legal advice
Dominic POV“You understand that what I’m doing right now could cost me my license to practice, right?”I nodded to Patrick, and he continued pulling out the information I had requested.Patrick McKamey was responsible for everything legal in my life and business. My father had done business with the lawyer before his passing, and since Patrick had been a long-time family friend and ally, I continued using his services after the torch was passed down to me.I called Patrick a few days ago, requesting he get as much information as possible on Olivia’s mother’s last Will and Testament. It wasn’t easy, especially since it wasn’t at the request of Olivia herself, but Patrick made a few phone calls to some of his acquaintances in North America. After a few days of digging, he called me when he received the crucial information I was waiting for.“I promise I’ll deny your involvement if anything happens, Patrick. Besides, I’m not planning on using any of this outside of these four walls. You
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 51 - Letting go of the ghosts of my past
Lena gently shook me. I groaned and stretched my body over the sofa before staring at her. She wore a knit sweater and had done her hair in a high ponytail. The cottage-look suited her well, I thought.When she saw I was up, she smiled and offered to make us breakfast.I beamed at her suggestion, feeling my stomach rumble, and slowly righted myself in a sitting position.After I ended my call with Dominic, I retreated close to the fire and fell asleep. The warmth of the flames heated my blanket and lulled me into a comfortable slumber. I felt much more rested and ready to tackle another day of killing time.Nate was supposed to return today but couldn’t stay the entire weekend. He was coming over with a few supplies, clean clothes, and hopefully, new board games. Lena and I had already played with everything we had and were tired of doing the 2000-piece puzzle of a boring fruit basket.I heard the clatter of dishes and moved away from the sofa, ambling into the kitchen to help her. Len
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 50 - I miss you
Warm hands glided over my stomach and pulled me back into warmer skin.I purred in delight, wiggling my bottom over Dominic’s erection digging into my lower back. I could recognize those hands anywhere, even with my eyes closed. They were soft, with a touch of callus inside his palms from lifting weights when he went to the gym. His unmistakable smell of aftershave also lingered on his skin, even after a full day of work. That smell was intoxicating to me.Dominic slipped a hand between my thighs and pressed a finger on my clit, rubbing it in circles and making me hot with desire. He hadn’t touched me in such a long time that I thought I would come undone by him simply applying a little more pressure.“Do you like it when I do this to you?” Dominic mumbled in my ear before sucking my earlobe and kissing and licking my neck.Panting, I arched my back and opened my legs wider for him to gain better access. “Always…”My fingers grabbed the sheets and bunched them in my fists while Dominic
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 49 - Simpler times
I sulked in the front seat of Nate’s rented car. We were on the road to Portlet—wherever that was.Nate had appeared in Dominic’s apartment unannounced and in a hurry. He urged me to follow him and led me to a parked car waiting outside. Once inside the car, he refused to disclose our destination, despite my repeated pleas to know where we were headed. We drove northward on the highway, passing several small villages along the way.Had I not known Nate before or who he was best friends with, I would have been afraid of being kidnapped.After maybe two hours and a half of driving, Nate turned onto a straight and narrow road. A small sign told us we were being welcomed to Portlet, and I looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the place we were headed to, but all I could see were snow-covered farming fields stretching as far as the eye could see. We were close to the coast, and I could smell the salt in the air.I had heard that people who lived near the coast rarely suffered from run
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 48 - Unpleasant meeting
Dominic POVI stepped outside, and the frigid wind caught me off guard, sending shivers down my spine. The gusts were so strong that my coat flapped wildly, and I had to tug at the end to keep it close to my body. However, the chilly air felt invigorating, and I took a deep breath to fill my lungs with the crisp scent of winter. I looked up at the overcast sky, watching the low clouds move swiftly and the trees lining the entrance of my building swaying back and forth. Despite the cold, I welcomed the refreshing sensation that the weather brought, hoping it would clear my troubled mind and offer me some clarity.As I settled into the back seat of a cab, I found myself lost in thought, replaying my last conversation with Olivia. I knew she was going through a tough time, and I wanted to be there for her. Olivia had been hurt before, and I didn’t want to add to her pain. Yet, I couldn’t resist the way she looked at me with her big, vulnerable eyes. It was as if she was silently pleading
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 47 - Be brave
As I sat on the hospital bed, I gazed at the sparse belongings I had with me, all neatly packed and ready to go by the door. I had been waiting for Kat to return from her X-rays and medical tests so that I could see her one last time before I left.Dominic, who had been sitting beside me, remained silent after his mother surprised us with her visit. Her revelation left me anxious about the situation. I wondered how Mrs. Moore had managed to locate Richard or vice-versa. The thought made little sense to me, and I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I had to find a way to change my mind when I became short of breath from my racing heart.Despite the awkwardness that filled the air, when Kat returned to our room, she tried to make small talk with us. However, Dominic and I remained quiet for the most part and only answered with idle single words.Dr. Fraser was concerned about my health after taking my blood pressure, which was alarmingly high. I, however, was determined to leave the hospita
