Sweet Temptation (62 page)

“Chantal, I like you as a friend, but nothing is going to happen past that, okay? Do you understand? You can’t give me what I want.”

“What does that even mean?”

“This between us,” he said, moving his hand between them. “Stays this way. Nothing more. You’re not my type,” he told her.

What the hell did that mean?
Her mouth went dry and she could feel tears starting to run down her face. Chantal pushed past him and went to grab her jacket.

Dom grabbed her arm, “What are you doing?”

“I’m grabbing my coat, Dom. Then I’ll be out of here and your life,” she sobbed. Pulling it on, she stomped to the door.

“I don’t want you out of my life, Chan,” he said.

“Too bad. You made it pretty clear you don’t want me, and that’s fine with me; I’m sorry I wasted your time and mine.” Chantal stormed off, out the door, and towards her car. Unlocking it, she got in and closed the door.

Dom tapped on the window. “That’s not what I meant,” he growled.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. Dom, I’m sick and tired of wasting my time on you, trying to get your attention, or anything out of you. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you again. Good-bye, Dominic.” She had never used his full name before, but she was pissed as hell now. She started the car, reversed out, and screeched off, heading nowhere in particular.

Why did she think that Dom would ever sleep with her? God, she was stupid, pining over him for the last five years. What a waste!
She had thrown herself at him several times, but he never did anything about it. Shaking her head, she decided she needed to move on and think of herself from now on, not what her heart wanted. Wiping the tears from her cheeks, she turned off his street, and drove towards the one person who could help her get over Dominic Grayson.
