DAMON As I stepped into the cabin, I was instantly amazed. The brilliant use of wood made the room stand out in a way that bested ordinary apartments. The area I was in had two white couches filling its space. I could see another door where masculine voices came from. While I took a quick look at the walls and floor, I was once again amazed by the beauty of the wood used. If only I was with my camera, it would have been lovely to work with such a sight. Before I advanced toward the next room, I made sure to check for appropriate positions to place the tiny devices that Lucius would be coming in to install. "Where is our drink anyway?" I heard a voice request loudly from the other room and with haste, I grabbed one of the buckets and entered the room which was bigger and filled with more furniture including a single-sized bed that looked exquisite without trying hard. I did not miss how well-lit the room was thanks to the natural light peeping past the windows. As my eyes landed
DAMON After I reached for a clean glass cup and poured myself some wine, he walked up to me, held my chin, and made our eyes meet. As I darted my sight to the side, he said, "Don't be shy, I will be good to you." "Hmm..." I managed to get my chin out of his hold and I gulped the wine in one take. I poured myself another glass. "It is you and me in this room, baby. So, let's have lots of fun." "Hmm..." That seemed to be all I could say as I tried to search for an opportunity to drug him and get things over with. The man soon began to caress my face as he gently nudged his groin area toward my face. I kept my eyes trained on the floor and my mind searched and searched for that opportunity. Soon, as I saw two cockroaches weasel their way into the room, I got my chance. "Ahhh!" I jumped instantly and hugged the man to my chest. "It's a cockroach! Oh... I am so scared of cockroaches. Do something, please..." While this moment might be an indication that I am very good at acting, I am
SELENA My hands felt weird from holding his wet collar but I didn't drop my hold. As I stared into his eyes some more, I began to feel the gentle yet burning air that escaped his nostrils. That little emission caressed my skin the best way it could, the same way his wet chest couldn't help but stay glued to my body. "What?" I heard him ask in response to the statement I dared to utter. I was about to pull his collar tighter to ensure that his attention was firmly on me when he found a way out of my hold and pushed me away while my feet stumbled one or two steps backward. "You heard me." My jaws were clenched at that point as I watched disapproval perch on his fine face which I find myself staring at in awe from time to time. "I want us to be fuck buddies." "Why? What sort of ridiculous suggestion is that? How can you be so reckless with such words?" My lips almost curled into a smile. There was something about Damon Jones questioning my words that just drove me insane. Each time
SELENA "There's a proper system to these things, Selena. If you want me to have sex with you, we'll have to fall in love, date and then we'll see-" Damon began to complain, but I cut his words short. "Fuck that. I want to skip all that and get right to having sex with you. Damon..." I felt the insides of my body stir as I glued my body to his some more. The shuddering sound that escaped his lips made me smile. My head almost touching his, I said, "Just one week. Give me one week to prove that we don't have to fall in love. Our passion for each other will push us to end up in each other's bed." "You are being corny, Selena," he spoke softly as his lips began to dance around mine as I teased mine around his. Our intense breaths mixed and I so much wished for him to hold my waist suddenly so we could get engulfed in a heated kiss. Like a choreographed moment, we kept pushing and pulling our lips. When they almost touched, we would quickly pull back only to do the same thing again. O
DAMON As I hurried my steps toward the elevator which would take me to the lobby, I fanned my face, totally unaware of the fact that my body was still wet. After pressing for the elevator, I finally noticed how exposed my body was thanks to the soiled white shirt I had on. The towel in my hand felt small as I wondered how I would dry myself before I get to the lobby. Well... I could lie if my mother asks questions. I have been doing a lot of that these days anyway. The faint sound that came with the doors of the elevator sliding apart reached my ears and I rushed into the waiting space while drying my body as fast as I could. Almost nervously, the towel dabbed my broad chest and as I did that, I instantly recalled how her body pressed against mine. The crazy warmth I felt at that moment filled my mind. But, I ignored that recollection and continued with what I was doing as the elevator began its ride. While taking long, calming breaths, I tucked my shirt in and noted the slight
DAMON "Boss, how did the meeting go?" Lucius asked her as he dragged a stool closer and faced her. "The meeting was trash. They are insisting on buying her. But she is our best. How can we sell the one that brings us the most money?" Her response made me very interested in that conversation. As I walked away from the door and to my far right, I wondered if they were talking about a trafficking deal. I am well aware that most gangs in Población gain power by using humans as a means of exchange. It is a sick practice and if they indeed do that in the Damish Gang, I think I will have to hasten my intentions to find an alternate way to solve my issues. My hands clasped behind me, I moved forward quietly and listened. "Don't they want to share?" Lu asked. "No." "What are you going to do? What did the board members advise you to do?" Okay... Don't tell me they have a board of members for their Trafficking business. How splendid. "They are so useless, nobody could give a piece of
DAMON "Are you okay?" I asked Selena as I pushed the dead man off her body. A small groan escaped her lips as she stood upright, her hand clutching her head. As my eyes roamed the numerous bloodstains on her outfit, I found myself frowning. "You need to get rid of-" Selena sent a sharp gaze in my direction. It was sharp enough to shut me up. Then, she asked, "Are you worried about me, Damon Jones?" The tone of her voice contradicted the evil look in her eyes and I became more confused. My hands which were wrapped around her arms were soon withdrawn and with caution, I watched her as she looked away and checked the stains on her leather jacket. The light-coloured top she wore underneath was heavily stained as well. And, as I stared more and more at those blemishes, I became concerned for myself. The sight of blood was starting to get to me and all I wanted at that moment was to throw Selena into the shower so she could get clean. "I knew you were useless," Lucius spoke from behin
DAMON "I don't want you," I replied quietly. "I will never let you have your way, Selena." Why does that feel like a lie? Why does my heart thump each time I tell myself that? Why does it feel like I am denying myself something I want when in fact, I am almost certain I don't want Selena? I don't want to be with a woman who tortures people and controls the country. So, why? Why does my heart keep acting like I'm feeding it lies? I gave up searching for the key and just stood facing the door as the sound of running water reached my ears. Then, I quickly washed my hands because I couldn't bear to see the blood on my palms anymore. ~ "You should have joined me," Selena spoke as she stepped out of the shower. I finally turned. With a determined look on my face, I glared at her. I noted the tiny bubbles of water that formed around her shoulder area. A small tattoo was imprinted on her upper chest as well. With that same determination retained, I found myself thinking about some
