Lindsey hung her head low.
She worried that if she kept sticking by Domenics side, shed become overly reliant on him.
Should she turn it into a regular thing, shed grow all soft and weak.
After Chayce and Kendras betrayal and even her once-reliable father doubting her, Lindsey was cautious about trusting in others too quickly. She dreaded the possibility of falling into that bottomless abyss once more.
Furthermore, Domenic remained unaware of what had transpired that night. If he found out, would his tenderness towards her endure? He could think she was dirty and keep his distance.
It would be wiser if she decided to take the lead to distance him.
Lindsey ceased her struggle, yet her voice grew even chillier. Mr. Walsh, dont you believe youve overstepped?
Domenic was taken aback. He asked in a hoarse and icy tone, What are you getting at?
Lindsey chuckled, deliberately giving herself an air of carelessness.

.
. Our engagement is fake. Why do you keep mentioning it? Do you think Im loaded and want to get some benefits from me by repeatedly asserting our engagement?
Domenic wore a frosty frown.
She genuinely believed he had intentions of exploiting her. How absurd that notion was!
Huh! Domenic sneered with self-deprecation, and a hint of red crept into his eyes.
She was downright keen to cut ties cleanly with him.
Did her decision to stop pretending to have something to do with that mans return?
Can you let go of me now? Lindseys palms were slick with sweat, yet she continued to feign composure.
I can let you go, but first, theres one thing I need to be sure of.
Before Lindsey could respond, Domenic swiftly grasped her waist and gently gripped her delicate chin with his other hand, compelling her to lift her head.
His eyes held twin flames of passion, and in the very next moment, he leaned in and kised her tenderly on the Lips.
Lindsey shivered, a wave of dizziness washing over her. The fresh, wood scent of cedar emanating from Domenic was intoxicating.
She found herself drawn into the kis.
There they were, kising openly on the street!
After some time, Lindsey managed to collect herself. She quickly pressed her hands against Domenics sturdy chest, attempting to push him away, but he stood his ground. His large hand firmly held her back as he continued to kis her passionately.
Lindseys strength began to disappear slowly. She felt her entire body growing yielding, and her cheeks blazed red. Just as she was on the verge of surrendering to the resistance, Domenic released her lips.
