Chapter 4

Damien Payne, POV

For the past five years I have remained calibate. I stopped dating at the age of 20 when I had trusted and dated the wrong woman, who then broke my heart and showed her true colors.

While I was in love with her, the bitch had only wanted my money. I was after all the eligible son to the father who owned a millionaire worth empire that I now inherited. And have turned into a billionaire one.

Being naïve and in love, I had fallen for her antics and given her all I had. I would deposit millions of dollars into her account after she would come crying, telling me lies. Like her cousin is gravely sick and needs money. Some days it would be, my father owes someone money and they want to kill him. Gullible young me fell for all of it. When she was using the money for expensive trips and surgeries.

One day I then had an argument with my brother as he accused her of being a gold digger. To solve it, we finally made a bet. I had to lie to the so-called love of my life that my father had gone broke and I no longer had money and was poor.

I bet my brother that my girlfriend truly loved me not the money and would still be with me. Instead I got proved wrong, after I told her I was now poor and in debt, the following day she sent me a break up text and left.

From that day onwards, I gave up on women and buried myself into work and my own billion-dollar company instead. Dubbed one of Forbes richest business men, I had been doing really great so far. I owned many companies in all kinds of sectors all over the world.

But there were times where I felt lonely and longed to have a partner by my side. Someone to love, talk and spend time with.

Because of my past with a gold digger, it was difficult for me to trust any women again.

That is until I came across her. The mysterious woman that I had to save from being overrun by a car. I was glad to have decided to go jogging outside, or else I would have never met her. Our paths would have never crossed.

I felt as if it was fate when I had carried her beautiful curvaceous figure into my arms and taken her to my house. One which had been nearby and had medical supplies. It was the first time ever to feel my body react to touching a woman that much. Even while unconscious, she easily reignited in me, this need and want for her.

Anger also burned within me, demanding that I make that reckless driver who had almost killed her, pay too.

How DARE he drive through a green robot and almost kill this beautiful angel!

So, after I placed her in the extra room and made sure that she was okay.

I had quickly rushed for my phone to call my assistant Ben to make them pay. Because of my sharp memory, I had easily caught the number plate of the car as it sped away. Removing my shirt and placing an ice pack to numb the pain on my back from the fall, I easily made the call.

Seeing her for the first time awake as I went to check up on her, also really affected me. First, she surprised me with the lamp that was aimed and headed for my head. Luckily, I had quick reflexes, a skill learned from the fight training that my shady rich father used to make both me and my brother do.

So, I easily caught it before that could happen and threw it away to the floor. The way I did it was a bit harsh from feeling annoyed that she was behaving like that with me. I was already in pain from my pained injured back and yet she wanted to add more pain on my head. I felt she was being so ungrateful, maybe one of those self entitled women. But then she surprised me and apologized while thanking me too. After hearing that from those sweet looking lips of hers, my anger quickly subsided to nothing. She had that kind of effect on me.

My eyes then traced her full form again and could not help but linger on those visible hard nipples of hers that were peeking out from her rain wet lacey and sexy dress. Did I turn her on too? It made me gulp a little, as forbidden visions were already flashing in my mind of me doing unspeakable things to her.

To distract myself before I jumped her bones, I quickly pointed to the extra clothes and red dress. Telling her that she could take a warm bath.

After she agreed I quickly left as my mind had now become worse with fantasies of her going to soon be naked in that bathroom. I knew if I stayed in that room any longer, I would follow her there. Then she would think I was some horny man trying to take advantage and rape her. After that, I would get flooded with lawsuits, my companies and reputation would be ruined, all because I could not keep it in my pants.

I quickly headed for the living room and drowned myself in work instead. Nothing killed a libido more than work and talking to clients mostly old men, about business. Even if tomorrow was a weekend, I was a self-appointed workaholic and worked through the weekends too. After all, my billion-dollar business could not run by itself. I had to work harder than most.

It was then I heard the sound of her soft alluring voice bringing me out of my work mode. She was still looking so fucking hot even while wrapped in that white bath robe. It made me wonder if she was wearing anything underneath or was irresistibly naked.

Unable to take my eyes of her, I quickly made my call short so I could know what she wanted and have her leave to make the torture stop. My libido was going hay wire as all I wanted to do was to fuck her senselessly until she forgot even her own name.

I started wondering if her reason to see me was maybe about the dress and if she wanted to wear something else. I would have not minded borrowing her one of my shirts instead to make her more comfortable.

She answered while walking slowly towards me, then shocked me with the shy look that was now on her lovely face.

But what she said and did next, really blew my mind.

“I want you,"
