"So... about yesterday..." Dominique trailed off.
The rest of the breakfast went on with Dominique deciding he would only eat chocolate-coated strawberries. Kalina was too aroused to form any coherent protest, and after what seemed like hours—but in reality, was only a few minutes—Dominique finished eating. They cleared the leftovers and placed them back into the picnic basket, preparing to discuss the events of the previous night at the wedding reception.
"I wanted the kiss to happen," he finally admitted, making Kalina's heart shatter.
She had suspected it already, but hearing him say it felt like the final stab to her heart.
"Ok," she said softly, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them as if trying to protect herself from Dominique's piercing words.
