Hope Is Not Optional — Manuel Flores 78
Chapter 78
Selene
I was breathing hard, sweat slicking my forehead and tangling in my hair, strands clinging to my face and neck. The heat crawling over my body wasn’t just uncomfortable, it was unbearable, especially between my legs. Every twitch, and small movement sent a whine escaping from me, and all I could do was stay still, lying flat on the bed as if that could somehow help.
I closed my eyes and dragged a hand over my forehead, trying to chase the feverish heat away, but it only seemed to burn hotter, spreading through me until my vision blurred.
My breath came in ragged bursts, my body trembling despite my attempt to remain still. “W-what’s happening? W-why do I feel like this?” I whispered, voice barely audible.
A deep voice cut through my panic.
“It’s because you need me.”
I froze. My eyes snapped open, and there he was, Alpha Dominic. The one face I had tried so desperately to forget over the past few days.
He was on top of me, half-naked in just his pants, the moonlight spilling through the window tracing every line of his body. Every muscle was sharp and defined, from the broad planes of his chest to the hard ridges of his abs, down to the powerful curve of his arms. His skin gleamed with sweat, and the heat radiating off him made my breath catch.
His red eyes locked onto mine with such intensity that my stomach dropped, and I couldn’t look away.
I blinked, startled, my body instinctively trying to move. But even the slightest shift made the heat between my legs flare, and I froze again.
“What… are you doing here? How did you get into my room?” I asked, though I knew the question was foolish. He was powerful, nearly impossible to detect, and yet seeing him here felt unreal. My heart pounded with a mixture of fear and need.
Dominic leaned forward, placing one hand firmly on the bed beside my head, the other reaching to lift my chin so that I had no choice but to meet his gaze. “You brought me here,”
I raised an eyebrow, confused. “I-I did?”
“Yes,” he said indifferently, eyes never leaving mine. “Now, let me calm you down.”
I didn’t fully understand what he meant, but somehow, I knew he was the only one who could. My pulse raced uncontrollably, my body responding before my mind even had a chance to think. I nodded, almost pleading, and he didn’t waste another second.
Dominic leaned down, capturing my lips in a deep, demanding kiss. I gasped into it immediately. My body reacted instinctively, arms wrapping around his neck, pressing him closer as if I could drink in every inch of him through the kiss.
When Dominic noticed that I could barely breathe in the kiss, he pulled away from my lips, I gasped, only for him to lean down again, his mouth tracing the curve of my neck. I closed my eyes, tilting my head to give him better access, my body melting into him.
His kisses sent a shiver through me, igniting a fire I had thought I’d long since buried.
It had been so long, years of staying loyal to Adrian, who had stopped sleeping with me in my past lives, leaving me restless and untouched. Other men had tried to touch me, but I had always refused. I had remained loyal to a man who never loved me. And yet here was Dominic, his touches breaking down years of restraint.

He pulled back slightly, letting me breathe for a moment, and looked down at me. His red eyes glowed with hunger and possession. My cheeks flushed, my skin burning with anticipation, and I shivered under his gaze
“Take off your dress,” he commanded.
A shiver ran down my spine, and my fingers trembled as I obeyed. My nightdress slipped off, leaving me completely naked. My pulse spiked, I felt exposed, and vulnerable, and yet more alive than I had in years.
Dominic’s gaze devoured me. “Beautiful,” he growled, leaning closer. His lips were on me again, this time on my nipple, sucking and nipping.
I moaned, arching my back, pressing into him. He moved to the other one, repeating the same torture, leaving me trembling.
He trailed kisses down my chest, over my stomach. My hands twitched, wanting to touch him, but I froze under his gaze. When he reached the most sensitive part of me, I couldn’t stop my thighs from parting, betraying myself. He didn’t hesitate. His eyes never left mine as he spread my legs fully, exposing me completely.
I was dripping as he lowered his head. The first brush of his tongue made me gasp, hips bucking instinctively.
“Mmmgh…” I moaned loudly, my back arching, fingers digging into the sheets
He circled me expertly, his hands came up, bracing on either side of me, holding me down as he explored me with his mouth. I whimpered, legs trembling, as he continued to drive me higher.
One finger pressed against my inner thigh, dragging slowly upward, just grazing the apex clit. My hips bucked uncontrollably, letting out a desperate whine as heat pooled and coiled inside me. Before I knew it, he slid me slowly with his finger.
My breath came in ragged gasps, my chest heaving, and my hands clawed at the sheets, desperate for something to hold onto. He didn’t relent. Another slow thrust of his finger, deeper this time, and I cried out, hips jerking, shivering violently under him.
His thumb pressed down against my clit, circling, and I felt my body tighten on instinct, every muscle clenching around him. Heat pooled and twisted inside me, building faster than I could think. My moans spilled out, and he only held me tighter, guiding me, controlling me, wringing every inch of pleasure from my body.
My hips rocking against the single finger inside me. Another stroke of his tongue and a deeper curl of his finger pushed me closer, until my body could no longer hold itself steady. I came violently, my back arching.
After I came, he didn’t waste a second. His hands moved with that same cold control, and before I could even process it, his pants were gone. I gasped, my stomach tightening as my eyes fell on him.
Fuck, he was big. Bigger than Adrian. My mind raced. Could that even fit? Could I…?
But there was no time to think. Dominic’s cock hovered at my entrance, and my body trembled instinctively. He tilted his head, those piercing red eyes locking onto mine, his voice low and dark, cutting through the haze of my mind.
“Don’t worry. You will take me in.”
Before I could even protest, he drove deep inside me, filling me so completely I could feel him stretching me. A sharp pleasure shot through me, making my toes curl and my nails dig into the sheets.
My body arched instinctively, hips pressing into him. I could feel the slickness coating him.
Shit!
Then, as abruptly as it started, it ended. My eyes snapped open. The room was quiet. The warm morning light spilled across my sheets, touching my face. I blinked in confusion, taking in the familiar sight of my bedroom.
Dominic wasn’t there. My body was still trembling from the intensity, but reality hit.
I sat up slowly, peeling the blanket off my body. Warm wetness coated my thighs, sliding down in a slow, teasing trickle. My fingers hovered, hesitant, almost afraid to touch it. My mouth hung open as the images replayed in my mind. Heat flared in my cheeks, crawling up my neck.
Don’t tell me…
I swallowed hard, heart racing even faster, and whispered to no one, “I had a wet dream about Alpha Dominic.”
