~ Excerpt ~
“You
know,” he began softly, “there is plenty of room in my closet for you to keep
some of your clothes here.”
His
comment caught me off guard, and my heart constricted with one hard squeeze
before it sped up with an uneven rhythm.
“Uh,”
I stammered before closing my mouth, unsure of how to respond.
He
inquisitively stared at me as I parted my lips to try again.
“I
don’t know.” I blinked in shock. “I think it’s too soon to be thinking about
that.”
Damien
arched a brow, and I just knew he was going to hit me with a comeback.
But
he didn’t.
Instead,
he teasingly narrowed his eyes at me as he said, “Nothing is too soon with you.”
He
took deliberate steps toward me, and that domineering persona that I loved
about him was evident in every single one of his purposeful strides toward me.
“In
fact, we are going to your place tonight after work to pack some things for you
to bring here.”
“What?”
I screeched, gaping at him. “I’m not
moving in with you!”
Without
saying a word, he lifted his phone in his hand, which I hadn’t noticed he was
still holding, and he tapped on the screen.
A
devious smirk appeared on his face before he spoke into the line, “Zoey,
something came up that I must deal with.
I’ll see you at ten.”
Just
when I thought my mouth couldn’t possibly hang open any more, it did. “You have
lost your mind.”
He
continued to stalk toward me.
I
glared at him as I backed up to the headboard behind me, increasing the
distance between us. I wouldn’t be able to keep my head straight if Damien put
his hands on me. My body would willingly cave to his over-the-top demands.
Damien
was my weakness and my strength, rolled into one massive wave of passion.
He
knelt on the bed and slowly came closer. All the while, the look in his eyes darkened
with unmistakable desire.
He
was going to devour me.
“What
are you doing?” I lifted my right foot and pressed it to his stomach to halt
his advance. “Stop right there.” My voice, laced with warning, trailed off as
my attention caught on his erection.
It
was heavy and hard.
I
drank in each defined muscle of his abs as they flexed with each of his
movements.
Strength
and dominance rippled out of him.
Damien
gently grasped ahold of my ankle. “I’m giving you a reminder.”
“A
reminder?” I wiggled my leg in an attempt to shake it free. “Of what?” I asked,
damn well knowing the answer.
This
was one of those times when he wanted control, and I refused to give him the
satisfaction of surrendering so easily.
Who am I
kidding?
It
was useless. I was a goner.
See
where it all began…….
