I twisted once more, trying to get comfortable in the big empty bed. I wasn’t used to such a big bed, it seemed strangely lonely when I had so much space to myself.
Did he always sleep alone here? I wondered.
I knew the answer to that one, he definitely didn’t.
He was so hot, there must be a lot of women willing and eager to sleep with him should he just snap his fingers.
I painted a comic in my head where hot models with long legs who flipped their hair and had tons of attitude just dropped their panties when they saw him coming. Panties dropping left, right and center.
Pathetic. I was pathetic. Anyone with half a spine would have already come onto him, kissed Damien and then whatever would have happened, would be fate.
But I just wasn’t built that way. In my whole 23 years of existence, I’d never tried even flirting with a man, not just because I’d been too busy working and studying but also because I’d
There was a door leading off from the washroom that I’d been curious about for some time and after the housekeeper had escorted me to the washroom, I was impatient to find out what was behind it. I could either take a chance, snoop around today or I could wait until my foot healed to give it a try.It wouldn’t be easy with my busted up foot to play spy but what if I didn’t get the chance again?Oh Lord, it was so tempting. It could be locked though..I bit my lip as I turned the lock. Hah, it wasn’t locked.I almost gave a cry of alarm as the lights automatic turned on.Shit, wow… So this is how the other half lived.The entire room had been turned into a walk in closet the likes of which I had only ever seen in magazines, I was awestruck.I slowly made my way inside walking on the plush grey carpet in the room. It was so clean that it gave me the creeps. No shirts strewn about, no shoes on the floor, no
“What happened to you Seline?” Maria burst out as she looked at me.“What?” I looked down at myself, concerned. Surely I didn’t look that bad.She laugher, “I’m not talking about your clothes, although this new style really doesn’t suit you,” she teased me and then grabbed me in an unexpected hug, and then leaned back and looked me in the eyes.“Are you sure nothing bad happened and you’re here only because of the accident?”Her face was tense with worry and I realized that she was dead serious.I put my hands on her shoulders, simultaneously balancing myself so I didn’t fall and also to calm her down.“Nothing happened to me, don’t worry Mari, but if you don’t help me out of here, I just might slip and really hurt myself!”Mari rolled her eyes but helped me out of the washroom.“This place sure is the works, so who&rsquo
After Mari left I thought a lot about what she’d said at the end. Was I that obvious? Did I act this obvious around Damien too or did she just see through it because she was my best friend?It was a lost cause in any case since I was already here and probably would be staying. I felt a relief as I made that decision in my head. I was going to take the chance life had accidentally handed me.I had a lot to do that afternoon and even though I was pretty exhausted and had strict instructions from Damien via the housekeeper to rest, I set up my laptop on the bed.For once in my life, I was grateful that I was in the habit of lugging around my laptop with me to classes even though I never even used it a lot on campus. I wrote an email to my college explaining the situation, it wouldn’t have been a big problem had I been a regular student but it actually was because I was on scholarship.I had worked my ass off for this scholarship and
Oh my, I gasp behind the finger he has on my lips but I say nothing else, what is this mood?He wants to get used to me welcoming him home? Is that supposed to mean..I quickly stop thinking about anything related to being with him because that wouldn’t make sense right? I mean he could have anyone.. Why me?My breathing is haywire as I think of everything this could mean and the path he seemed to be taking me on.I shift on top of him but he catches me closer to him. I look up at him and get caught in his stare, his eyes glitter in the dim light and a thrill passes through me.“So what were you doing when you decided to fall down on me?” he asks me, a definite smile in his voice. I stare down, too mortified to answer. And then I realize what I’m staring it, he’s wearing a black shirt, open at the collar, probably the one he wore to work. He didn’t even change before he decided to look in on me?His open c
My head was reeling, not only was I sprawled like a wanton creature on top of a man but I was enjoying it. What was happening to me? What was this man doing to me? I wondered now what he could make me do. He was the only man who had even made me this hot and it seemed like he really might be interested in me too.A snide little jealous voice in my head told me not to get this excited, maybe he was just playing while I was here, maybe I was just temporary entertainment.I couldn’t stop it from shouting that I was a nobody. A broke on scholarship college student that had to work very hard at making ends meet while he was suave and sophisticated and super rich.It seemed implausible to assume that such an important wealthy man would just want something with some girl he met a few days ago. I needed to protect myself in case all the castles I was building in my head just crashed and melted with the next wave.I couldn’t afford to fall for him.
“No reply?” Damien went on, “I have to tell you I’m disappointed, I wanted to hear something from that smart mouth of yours.”My mouth popped open in shock and I couldn’t speak for a few seconds. I think I was almost equal parts shocked and aroused.Had he really just suggested I strip for him? Although I was shocked, the idea had a strange kind of forbidden appeal to me. I’d never been naked in front of anyone and being naked in front of Damien sounded scary but hot at the same time.What was I thinking? Did I really want him to see me naked?Yes, hard yes, I squirmed as I thought of all the possibilities, of his slate eyes going dark with desire for my body, for me.“Seline?” Damien roused me from my dirty thoughts, “What are you thinking about?”“Uh..nothing, I’m just hungry,” I replied. Hungry for you, I finished in my head.“Oh,” he so
Oh damn, the man could kiss, I thought as his tongue dueled with mine.I felt like I was being consumed in huge, hot bites.He was touching me, kissing me, holding me so hard as if he would never let me go, as if he couldn’t get enough of me. I felt the exact same way; I burned for him like I’d never burned for any other man in my entire life. I’d never been kissed and touched with this passionate intensity before.He left my lips to look into my eyes, “God, Seline you taste so sweet.”I just tried to get my breath back and I couldn’t say anything.It was too much and not enough at the same time.I’d been kissed before, guys had been interested in me before, I had made out before but it had all been awkward and had a layer of civility, a layer of superficiality to it.This felt like my first time being this intensely consumed in the experience and it wasn’t even sex.It felt real
He looked so angry; his eyes were burning with it. My heart starting beating too loud and I could hear it in my ears. The more he stayed silent and just stared at me, the more frightened I became. It felt like the calm before the storm. My palms were sweaty now; I didn’t know what he would do. The tiny working part of my brain reminded me that this had been all my choice. I didn’t even know the man; he could do anything to me. But he wouldn’t right? He’d saved me.. He wouldn’t hurt me. But he was too silent and the silence was more frightening than any words he could have shouted at me. I built my courage and ventured on to quietly whisper, “Say something.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and I could see him take control of himself. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were empty of all emotion now. He just backed up away from me, quietly and without looking at me, he turned on his heel and left the room. I
