Nothings going on here. Its not what it looks like!
But his explanation only made things worse.
Witnessing Domenics chilling silence, Sumner nervously said, My friends are waiting for me. Ill make my way out if youre all set.
With that, he hurried off like he was being chased by a storm.
Lindsey stumbled to the wall, struggling to stand.
She stared in shock at the tall man before her, memories of earlier events stirring feelings of upset within her.
Whyd you leave the private room, Mr. Walsh? Werent you having fun?
Why come out here?
Domenic turned, his eyes a shade of intense red.
After Lindseys brief kis and exit, hed downed several glasses of liquor, yet his hearts longing remained unquenched. Hed stepped out, seeking a breath of fresh air.
But there he saw Lindsey, in the arms of a shirtless man.
It clicked for him then. Her haste to leave was to meet up with this man!
They were so bold as to undress in public!
Mockingly, Domenic said, What? Did I interrupt something?

Lindsey, realizing his misunderstanding, protested, Youve got it all wrong. I just bumped into Sumner, thats all!
Just bumped into him? Domenic scoffed, stepping closer. He slammed his hand against the wall by her ear, startling her.
Leaning in, his eyes intense and a mocking smile playing on his lips, he said, So, its also merely bumping into each other coincidentally when youre in each others arms? And his being shirtless is a coincidence? Next, youll say sharing a bed is accidental?
Domenic Walsh, you despicable jerk! Lindsey became furious, her face flushed with anger.
She pushed him forcefully, but the effort shot pain through her, forcing her to squat and clutch her ankle, sweat beading her forehead.
Domenic paused, then noticed her swollen, bruised ankle.
What happened to your foot? he asked, concern creasing his brow.
I twisted my ankle earlier. Sumner was just supporting me because I lost my balance. It was just an accident, really. He wasnt wearing a shirt because he lost a bet with his friend. And then, he just ran into me This is all so absurd. Why am I even explaining all this to you?
Lindsey was visibly upset, with tears in her eyes and a sniffle in her voice.
Despite the pain in her foot, it was nothing compared to the hurt Domenic had caused her. She fought hard to keep her emotions in check, determined not to cry in front of him.
