Dominate me by Julia Romush (best e reader for epub TXT) 📗

Four days have passed in his office since that evening. Four days we didn't see each other, and I was ready to howl at how much I missed him.

Each time, it is harder for me to endure the time that he is not around. Each time I realize that I am becoming even more dependent on him. And if before it scared me, now it isn't present. I like to think of it. I like to remember moments of intimacy. Scroll them in your head. Remember the way he looks at me when excited. I like everything about it.

I knew he was not in town. He told me that he was leaving that evening when he took me home. And it was very important to me. He did not send me with the driver. He did not say that he had things more important than me. And I knew he was coming today. I knew, and for more than an hour I held the phone in my hand and tried to dissuade myself from what I wanted to do.

I saw my sister yesterday. No, I didn't look at her from the headmistress's window. This time everything was different. I went to the orphanage, and she and I sat on the playground and talked. I hugged her for a long time. I wiped away her tears, and then my own. I whispered in her ear that I would pick her up soon. That I promise her that no one will ever take her away from me. And then all evening I sobbed into the pillow from the emotions. I so wanted to grab her and leave with her on the same day. Don't look at how she, wiping away tears, slowly walks back. As Eva turns and looks at me hopefully, and I can't do anything else yet.

The lawyer told me that everything will be fine. It takes time to draw up all the documents. And much more. But I understood the most important thing - my sister will not be given to anyone but me. And it made me crazy. This man did the impossible in just a couple of days. He did what I couldn't do for a whole year.

If last night I cried from an excess of emotions, now I was sitting and smiling like the latest idiot. Everything was getting better in my life.

Artem did for me what I probably did not even hope for in my heart.

At the thought of this man, my hand automatically reaches for the pendant around my neck. A warm smile appears on my lips. I didn't ask where the jewelry came from in his office. I thought it would be too much. But nobody forbade me to think about it. Did he buy it in advance? Want to make me a present? Or did he buy it while I was in the office with the lawyers? The last thought seemed too stupid to me. Why did Klimov have to do this? Is he capable of that?

Squeezing the phone in my hand, I do not know how many times, I still decided to dial his number. I stayed all four days. I denied herself every time I just wanted to call him and ask how he was doing. The simplest question, to which I immediately knew the answer. He would be angry that I called out of business. He would be disappointed that he gave me his phone number and might even be angry.

The beeps start ringing, and my heart starts beating. I am so worried that everything dries up in my mouth. With each new beep, I wait for him to pick up the phone ... But time goes by, and I never hear his voice.

I click on the stop and immediately start arguing. Why did you call? What did you expect? He did not consider you something important, and continues to do so.

Tears well up in my eyes. I didn't expect to be so upset. And it angers me even more. When I'm close to tantrums, my phone starts ringing. I hear the vibration first, and then the melody I put on his number starts playing.

Opening my eyes wide, I look at the phone as something strange, and I can not believe that he really calls back. I take a step forward, wipe away my tears and accept the challenge.

"Did you call?". His voice makes goosebumps on his skin. A smile appears on my lips, and I don't even want to think about what I look like at the moment.

"Hello", I say softly, and immediately close my eyes, "I wanted to ask if you will come to see me today?". I immediately say what I wanted. I do not pull. In response, I hear only his breathing and my heart stops.

"Do you want me to come?"

The knees begin to tremble with excitement. Do I want to? He's making fun of me?! Of course, I want to!

"I missed you", I give out faster than I have time to think about it.

"Be ready by nine". Artem gives a hoarse voice, and I feel my breathing begin to increase.
