Dominic stared at me for a moment. The pressure of his gaze made me squirm in my seat.
“You have a lot to learn,” he said before returning his stare to the middle of the dance floor and returning to ignoring me.
Chewing on bread, I went back to contemplating the next moments of my life. “I’m not sleeping with you,” I blurted out as the thought fluttered across my brain.
Dominic’s head snapped towards me so fast I was sure he strained his neck from the movement. “What?” he questioned.
My cheeks heated with embarrassment as the words replayed in my mind.
“Do you seriously want to discuss this right now?” he challenged.
“There’s nothing toget into,” I tried to keep my voice as calm as possible. “Unless you plan on raping me, we won’t be having sex.”
Dominic snapped. He shot up from the table, knocking his chair backward and grabbed me by my upper arm. It happened so quickly that I barely had time to make a peep.
The people around us stopped to look, but no one did anything as Dominic hauled me to my feet and out of the ballroom.
Tripping over my dress, I did my best to follow him as he dragged me along. Heart thumping loudly in my chest, I looked at my mother, desperate for her help. We locked eyes for a moment before she looked away and resumed her conversation with my father. No one came to help—I was truly on my own.
