Chapter 8: Sleeping with Dominic

**Soon, her beautiful porcelain-like skin and sparkling eyes were revealed as Ava walked into the master bedroom. She had to sleep with Dominic again while pretending to be Kylie.**
**Thinking about his tall figure and cold warning earlier made Ava take a deep breath before entering the room. Dominic was already lying in bed, and Ava carefully climbed onto it, sleeping far away from him.**
**Dominic wasn't in a good mood; he didn't know if it was because of that young maid who wrote such an explicit love letter to his nephew despite having pure-looking eyes. He tried not to think about her anymore as he opened his eyes and looked at the delicate figure lying next to him.**
**"Why are you sleeping so far away? Come here!" He said irritably.**
**Ava moved closer towards him.**
**Dominic smelled that pleasant fragrance again - he couldn't tell what flower scent it was but found it very alluring.**
**"Sleep in my arms," he commanded softly.**
**Sleeping in his arms? Although Ava hesitated inside, she had no choice but to comply since she was pretending to be Kylie; otherwise, he would become suspicious.**
**Ava moved closer once more before turning over stiffly into his embrace. Dominic wrapped his strong arm around her tender shoulder while burying himself into her fragrant hair for a sniff - it smelled really nice!**
**"Last time you didn't tell me what perfume you used," he said.**
**"I didn't use any perfume."**
**"So, this is your natural scent?" His low and mellow voice carried a hint of laughter as it sprayed onto her delicate face. Ava blushed, "That's not what I meant, Mr. Harrington."**
**"Mr. Harrington?" Dominic quickly pinched her small chin and forced her to look up at him. "Why are you calling me Mr. Harrington?"**
**Only the young maid would call him that.**
**Ava's heart skipped a beat; she was too nervous and forgot to change her address.**
**Dominic looked at her beautiful face - Kylie was indeed pretty but now seemed overly so with porcelain-like skin covered in soft hair, red lips, black long hair, bright eyes shining like stars - all these stunning features made Ava more attractive than Kylie during the day.**
**He hooked his thin lips while rubbing his fingers over the tender flesh on her jawline: "How come you're so timid? You were brave enough to climb on top of me earlier."**
**"...I was drugged by Madam..." Ava explained weakly.**
**Dominic stared at her: "Then what should you call me?"**
**Thinking about how Kylie called him '****Honey****' in such a sweet tone made Ava feel uncomfortable; she wanted to escape from this situation but couldn't since he held onto her chin firmly with an imposing manner.**
**"****Honey****~" She quickly called out before hiding herself in his embrace again.**
**She had no idea how he would react if one day he found out that it wasn't really Kylie sleeping in his arms calling him '****Honey****.' But for now, Dominic raised an eyebrow playfully without teasing further as they both drifted off into sleep.**
