All Chapters of Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

DOMINIC“Well...?” Janet broke the silence and I saw that her gaze was fully pointed at me.“What?”“Are you just going to sit there as if you just didn’t do something wrong?”Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with what I said. Grace has something somewhere she is entitled to and I was trying to make her realise that it was not only possible but right to get it back.“I am sure she needs some space,” I gruffly replied, my hand already reaching into my pocket before I recalled that Grace collected my phone earlier. Now would have been the best time to check in with Dave.“Do you even know what you did?” Janet flashed me her signature elderly, speech on the way, kind of eyes.“I know that,” I ran my hands over my thigh while my head tried to reason a quick way out of the room, “she should be the owner of that company. It is obvious. Besides Stanley always speaks of not being the...”“Jesus Christ, Eliot. The woman just sang into our ears that she doesn’t want anything to do with it.

DOMINIC“Dom, we can’t just rush into that place. We still don’t know who we are dealing with. So, how about we let Grace go there?” Dave suggested, a deep sigh escaping his lip after. “Of course, Grace won’t be alone. But we will make this person think she is. And thankfully, there are tiny cameras we can attach to Grace’s outfit. They will capture the culprit’s visuals. From there, we can forward the details to the cops.”I was already feeling stuffed and could not bear to rack my brain anymore. So I nodded in agreement while I hoped that things wouldn’t get immensely worse.“Your idea will delight Grace,” I said after many seconds.A short smile formed on Dave’s lips. “I certainly did not miss the look on her face when you stopped her from thinking about going.” As he closed his laptop and proceeded to gather his things, he continued, “You really like her, don’t you?” I responded with a little jerk of my eyebrows. “Good.” his hands stopped reaching for his stuff and he faced me squ

DOMINICAt first, the name was vague.I don’t even recall the night she kept referring to. But after some seconds of deep thinking, I made the connection.My hands stretched mid-air and a huff of disbelief escaped my lips.“You are Grace’s friend.”“In the flesh.” The grand smile that followed made my entire system recoil in disgust. It was quite evident that she was a psycho and that means I have to be careful with the words I say.“Why? Why are you doing this?” I asked once I shook the shock away.Her mouth made a clicking sound.“I knew I would be asked that question at some point, but I didn’t you would be the first to ask.” She took one more step and my feet quickly reacted. I found another area to stand. Thankfully, all she did was sigh and resumed her talk. “I am doing this because Grace… Because…”Suddenly, she thumped her foot on the ground while her face carried an expression that suggested that she was trying to form her words.Her melodrama was hardly amusing or engaging.

GRACESo, I faced Dominic and he quickly shook his head before I could say anything.“Don’t be crazy, Grace. I can’t be with her.”“It is the only way Dominic. What will happen to Ruby if we don’t make it out of here?” The incessant beeping was becoming deafening and it added more tension to the room. “Dominic, we have to walk out of this place alive.”Dominic moved closer. And with shaky hands, he tried to get rid of the ropes holding me.“Dominic.”“I can’t do that, Grace. I can’t betray the love I have for you. I can’t let her win.”“Dominic.” His attempt was futile but he didn’t give up. “Dominic, look at me. Look at me. Please.”“I need a knife. The ropes are too thick.”“Look at me.”He became more feverish and seconds later, he did as I asked.For a moment, I admired the beauty his eyes carried even though they were distressed. It reminded me of the first day I saw Dominic. Those eyes were the first thing I noticed.“Dominic,” I whispered and he moved closer until our sweaty fo

GRACEAnd I further punctuated my statement by placing a kiss on his lips. “I am very hungry, or is it just me?”To further what I had initiated, he leaned in a bit closer and engulfed my lips with a fierce kiss.I responded and went with the flow, returning the kiss with almost equal intensity. With growing desires, I allowed him to explore more of my lips to my delight.But it sadly came to an end. Once our lips were detached, Dominic brought his thumb and swept it over my lips.“I am hungry too,” he replied huskily. Then, he leaned closer to continue what he set fire to, but I drew back and entertained the idea of teasing and torturing him.“Since we are both hungry, let’s go to the kitchen.” As I got down from the bed, I did not miss the mix of surprise and amusement on his face. That sight made me smirk.And I decided to take my teasing to a higher level.As I walked out of the room, I added sultriness to my steps, and funny enough, it forced a groan out of Dominic’s lips. That s
