Chapter 3 • Random Night

"Your first kiss? You serious?"

Woah … Dominic had gone mad. Why was he so proud to hear the little girl's confession? Why did it feel so good to be the first one who tasted the intoxicating thin lips?

Yes. Intoxicating. Dominic was not a hypocrite. He even didn’t know when his last kissed. Maybe during the holy matrimony of his forced marriage to Reina? Ah, if that was included in the kiss category, but why didn't he feel a single spark like the one he felt just now? When their lips and tongues intertwined.

Heat coursed through Dominic's body as the girl gave him a sharp look full of disappointment. He felt challenged to try again, especially since his body was still on top of the girl whose name he didn't even know yet.

"So, how does it feel? Does that make you pound as much as I do now?"

"E-eh ...?"

Dominic lowered his face again, trying his luck if the girl still wanted to be kissed by him.

"S … Sir, what are you going to do?" The girl turned her face away. Unlucky! Dom’s attempt failed. But he did not give up. He stayed in position.

"What's your name?"

"You don't need to know, Sir! Listen, I don't want to get involved in marriage life!"

"What? Hey, who wants to involve you? I already took your first kiss. I want to be responsible."

"No need! I just want to go home!" The girl wanted to get up. But Dominic instead dropped his body again and locked the little girl tightly.

"It's late! You stubborn!!"

Dominic stole the opportunity to press their lips together again. To hell with rejection. His head was dizzy seeing the small lips nagging continuously. Now the most important part of his body was also reacting to everything this beautiful girl does.

Hah? Beautiful?

"Hmmmmpphhh."

Dominic's position had locked the girl at all points. The main thing was the hips. Holding her long legs from kicking him in any direction, and accidentally made the girl feel something inside her training pants.

"Aaaaaa! Get off! You bastard! Pervert! I hate you!" After Dominic took off his hot kiss, the girl hit his chest blindly with teary eyes. She felt like being abused. But oddly enough, she wasn't that eager to get away. How crazy!

She was angry, but … she also liked it. This feeling dominated her right now.

"Bastard or pervert? One-on-one, please? Your face is already wrinkled, it will get wrinkled if you cry again."

"What?!" The girl’s crying automatically stopped when someone dared to say that her face was crumpled. Was that true?? Had she been looking ugly in front of this man since earlier?

"Wanna see it?" Dominic rose from his position, releasing the captives who rushed towards the mirror as fast as lightning.

"Arghhhhhhh!!" A loud scream rang out from the girl's lips. She didn't expect that her face was so ruined now. Tear marks that were black because the mascara had run off, then the powder that was messy due to wiping away too many tears last night.

"Arrgh! Why can it be so messy like this? Why didn’t you tell me?!"

"What for? You're so beautiful."

"Liar! A man's mouth can't be trusted! Where's my bag? Where's my bag??!!"

Dominic couldn't help but laugh seeing the girl distraught looking for her bag. Her behavior now was funny, especially her uncontrollable voice, like a lion cub which never stopped roaring.

"Where's my bag, Sir?!"

Dominic finally intervened to find. Maybe the bag got thrown or something, or it was also possible that the girl didn't take it with her.

"Hmm, maybe you didn't take the bag when I took you here?"

"What? Okay, now get me out of here! My phone's in there, for God’s sake!"

"Sssttt ... why do you have to scream? Your vocal cords could be damaged!"

"Sir, I'm not in a mood to joke now! My cell phone, wallet, ID card are all there!"

Dominic came closer to calm the lion cub. Yes, he decided to name the little girl as lion cub. Because she just kept roaring.

"Alright, let me go outside for a while. Please wait here. Oh, there are cotton pads and cleanser in the cupboard. Just put them on first. Okay?"

The girl was silent at Dominic’s soft voice. Her waterlogged eyes turned calm and glazed. ‘So, this man can be soft, too?’

"Watch out if it goes missing. I'll sue you." Chalondra said.

"You want to sue me? Do you even know who I am?"

The little lion shook her head doubtfully.

"I'm Dominic. The owner of this place."

"WHAT?!"

"Can you stop screaming?? Argh, at first, I liked your screams, but now my ears hurt, you know?"

"Ouch, why are my ears tweaked anyway?" The girl protested again because Dominic pulled her ear.

"Wait here! I’ll lock the door from the outside so you won't run away!"

"How can I run away? My bag is still downstairs."

"Okay, fine. Now, just go to the bathroom. Your face is like a mop. Dirty."

"It's dirty but you kiss it twice. You weird!"

Dominic could still hear the cub's grunts as he came out of the room. A smile spread across his lips as he stepped towards the door.

***

Dominic stepped down to the ground floor, where the bar and discotheque were. As he had said earlier, this place belonged to him. But it's been a long time since he set foot here, until the problem with Reina made his patience run out.

Even though Dominic owned this club, but he was not the kind of man who often spent his time in this kind of place. He just wanted to invest his money in the entertainment segment as well since he was tired of dealing with the pulp and paper business.

The club manager approached him and asked what he needed. Dominic just gave a glimpse. Remember, he didn't want to provoke gossip.

"Let me show you off, Sir." The manager accompanied Dominic to the bartender's table.

"Good night, Sir." The bartender who had served him saluted. Of course, all the employees there knew him, including the first aid kit delivery man. Mr. Dom, the club owner.

"You remember the girl sitting beside me earlier?"

"Yes, sir, is there a problem?"

"Did she leave a bag?"

"Oh, we have it, sir. I'll get it in a minute."

Dominic didn't have to wait long. The bag was now in his hands. A box-shaped bag, made of leather and there was a long strap that functioned to be slung over the shoulder. When he saw the brand of the bag, Dominic was a little surprised. It's an expensive brand and clearly original. It seemed that the little girl was not an ordinary person.

Dominic returned to the room after his business was done. He couldn't wait to meet the little lion that suddenly made him feel happy.

Happy?

Yes, happy. Somehow, that little girl could make his smile never stop.

Before opening the door, Dominic suddenly remembered something. Yes. He didn't know the lion cub's name yet. He wasn't sure when they would separate, the lion cub was willing to tell him the truth. Dominic remembered that the girl said there was an ID card in her bag.

Opening someone's bag without permission wasn't a sin, right?

Dominic carefully opened the bag. Inside the small square-shaped object was a new iPhone and a card holder. Again, the expensive iPhone indicated that the girl might be the daughter of a conglomerate. But, who?

Without lingering, Dominic opened the card holder and took out the only identity card there. At that moment, his eyes widened. There was only one family he knew that had that surname.

Chalondra Chalya Ellordi.

Dominic's heart pounded.

Ellordi?

Was that Ellordi? Chris Ellordi? Cakrawala Paper? Their company's tough competitors?

Good grief!

Dominic looked at Chalondra's date of birth. The child turned out to be only 18 years old. It looked like she just graduated from high school. Dominic's chest rumbled. Had he acted lewdly to a child? Now he felt so sinful after kissing her twice.

Dominic finished his activities. Well, her name was Chalondra Chalya Ellordi. That's enough. Now he should go back inside and hand over the wallet to its owner.

Dominic opened the door without knocking it first. No idea what was going on inside. He immediately found Chalondra surprised by his arrival.

"Sir, why don't you knock on the door first?!"

Dominic froze in place by seeing what showed in front of his eyes right now. Don't blame him if the decision he made just now changed 180 degrees thanks to that little lion.

Previously, after knowing that Chalondra was still a minor for him, he didn't want to do anything to the little girl. Pity. But seeing the girl's courage to take a shower in the tight time when he came out for a while, then wander around in the room wearing only a small towel covering her tall and ... plump body, made Dominic inflamed. The whole white shoulders and half of the exposed thighs and it looked very beautiful in Dominic's eyes.

"Why are you angry? I told you I locked the door from the outside. That means I can enter without having to tell you." Dominic's eyes fixated on a pair of beautiful eyeballs that were clean of mascara and eye liner. The innocent face of the little lion turned out to be very beautiful. Such a type of a fresh teen girl.

"Okay, fine. Now, can you turn around first? I want to change clothes!"

Gosh, this little kid! How come she had no fear at all? She's testing Dominic’s patience.

Dominic was sitting on the sofa. He hid Chalondra's bag behind his back.

"Come here." He slapped his thighs, making Chalondra shake her head quickly, scared.

"Come here! Otherwise, I will confiscate your bag and its contents, Chalondra!"

"W-What? How did you know my name?? You opened my bag, huh?!"

"Yes. I will take off your towel if you don't want to sit here."

"No! That's crazy! That's really forcing!"

"I'm a good person, Chalondra. If you refuse, I'll turn bad later. You want it?"

Chalondra shook her head in resignation. She finally stepped out while holding tightly the knot of her towel. Indeed, if this adult man was a bad man, she would have been devoured from the beginning, right?

After she stood directly in front of the man, Dominic pulled one thigh so he knelt on the sofa, followed by the other thigh. Then the man led Chalondra to sit on his lap. Uuuhhhhhhhhh ... Dominic groaned inside. The little girl was apparently not wearing anything under the towel.

“Don’t you know that this is a dangerous move, Miss?" Dom felt Chalondra's white, smooth face. "I only came out for a while but you dare to take a shower. You want to seduce me?"

Chalondra was barely focused. From the moment she sat on the man's groin, she felt the man’s bulge on hers. Amused. It felt weird, but ... amused. It looked like ‘his’ was really big, she guessed where it came from.

"Cha!"

"E ... uh, yes, Sir!!"

"You didn't hear me? What were you thinking?"

"’Yours’ is big ... oops!!" Chalondra immediately covered her mouth with her hand. Stupid! How could she just slip those words away??

Meanwhile, Dominic couldn't keep his face from turning red. Just now the girl praised that ‘his’ was big. Oh, wasn’t that a pride?

"I'm also surprised. How can ‘mine’ get up like this when I am with you, but not with my wife? That's why ... you're actually in a dangerous situation here. Instead, you even took a shower. See how ‘mine’ react now?"

Chalondra's tongue was numb. Was this man crazy? How could he tell sensitive things about him and his wife so clearly like this?

"You are still young, Chalondra. Eighteen years. If I devour you now, it would be like sleeping with my own child." Dominic squeezed Chalondra's small shoulders. The girl's skin was really soft that Dominic had to hold himself back as hard as he could.

"H ... how old are you now, Sir?" Chalondra felt that Dominic was indeed a good man. His words just now made the entire defensive ramparts and Chalondra's vigilance loosen up.

"When you were just born, I was in my sophomore year. Twenty years. So, if I mess with you now, it's like a college kid messing with a newborn. I will feel like a pedophile and you could say a madman."

Chalondra was getting relieved. She's safe.

"Okay. So, can I have my bag now?"

Dominic took the bag from behind his body, handed the small object into the palm of Chalondra's tiny hand.

"Get dressed. I'll take you at five in the morning."

Chalondra had not heard Dom anymore. Her hands are already busy checking on her phone, which had many new chats and missed calls in it.

"Oh, right, my friends are looking for me." She muttered without looking at Dominic. Remembered, she was still on top of this man.

"Your parents, too?"

Chalondra shook her head. "I had asked for permission to stay at my friend's house before, Sir."

"Ohhh, so it means when you said that your mom and dad were going to look for you, that’s a lie?" Dominic pinched the chubby cheeks and pulled a little.

"Aaa, ya ya ya! I was so panic before, so I forgot."

Dominic enjoyed the sight in front of him. Chalondra seemed no longer awkward with their position. The girl was replying to her friend's chats on her lap. What a strange little girl!

"May I call you ‘Cha’?"

Chalondra's face lifted. She nodded briefly, then looked down again.

"If I want to hug you, is that okay, too?"

"No!!"

"Ah, you're fierce. It's not cool. Come on, get down. I'm going to sleep again."

Chalondra was unmoved.

"Hey, get down!" Dominic pretended to strain his voice. But that was a shield to cover his hopes that the girl wouldn't come down from there.

"What if I don't want it?!" Hah? The little girl was even challenging. Hilarious, indeed. Let's say Chalondra had gone mad. But for some reason, she just didn't want to get off of that ... soft thing.

"Hug me, then."

"Ok!"

Thump!!

Dominic froze. Chalondra hugged him!!
