Chapter Twenty
"Besides, he didn't have a big problem with it when he did the same thing to a few companies back in the day." Dimitri added
That wasn't true, Kelly thought and shook her head. Her father wouldn't do such a thing to anyone.
"You're lying" she said adamantly.
"Oh am I?" Dimitri asked, and pulled a bottle of wine and glasses from his drawer. After he had poured them both a drink, he offered her one, which she refused to accept.
Kelly needed a drink, but she shook her head. She wasn't here to share a drink with him. Unspeakable things seemed to happen whenever she was around this man... Amazing things that made her body tingle all over, she thought, remembering the minutes she had just spent in his arms.
Whenever she was with him she was wild, crazy and all her inhibitions seemed to be lowered. She didn't want to find out what she would do if she was drunk in

"Yes it is" Kelly snapped, and took a step closer, one hand balanced on her hips, "You are not surprised, are you? And I don't need anyone to tell me that it was you who told him about the company's financial problems. You are the one who wants to bring it down, and so told him to withdraw his funding so you can get what you want. What kind of a person does something like that?""A man who knows exactly what he wants" Dimitri interrupted, watching her through hooded eyes, but he remained in his chair, calm as always. "And for the record, I didn't make Edward do anything. I told him what he needed to know and he did what any responsible person would do if they found out that they were about to invest their money in the wrong place"He wasn't even going to deny it. Kelly thought. She had known he was the one, but for some reason she'd somehow hoped that he wasn't such a horrible person. Why she thought he wouldn't be able to do something

In spite of the lingering embarrassment, Kelly laughed."I didn't say he had a thing for me, point of correction" she said. "We just had a.... Some moments actually... But I don't think he has a thing for me, it's just sexual attraction... Doesn't mean anything"Lizze cleared a throat in a funny way that made Kelly give her a look. "He definitely has a thing for you" she insisted.Kelly didn't want to think about that right now, especially since she was still angry with Dimitri over what he did with Edward Franklin. Capitulating, she waved toward the living room. “These better be some shoes,” she muttered.Lizzie walked ahead of her carrying the small pile of luggage, “One thing you should know about me. I don’t kid about stocks, world peace or footwear. Just let me do this for you, as a thank you for what you did for me at the fashion show”

The song wasn’t a slow tune, which meant he really didn’t need to hold her so closely. Yet Kelly didn’t pull away. She was certain any one of the media staff that were present would snap a picture on their phone and immediately text it to their editor. The picture of her dancing with Felix would no doubt grace the cover of at least one tabloid first thing tomorrow morning.Any other company looking to snag Felix would see that Darcy Enterprises had beaten them to the punch. With that thought, Kelly moved easily to the rhythm of the music. She smiled and eased out of Felix's embrace so she could spin around before coming back to join him. The move gave anyone aiming for a photo op an unfettered view of her smiling…and wearing such a beautiful dress.... Thanks to Lizzy.Another minute and the song was over. The band would probably continue to play until midnight when the DJ, who was set up in the far corner

Kelly frowned. Yes, She did not enjoy gatherings like this.... Most wealthy people did, but she wasn't one of them. Whatever events Kelly attended were carefully selected and always related to business in some way. She would not admit that the last thing she'd wanted to do tonight was attend this party. If she'd been able to do exactly as she'd wanted, Kelly would be in at home, in her bedroom with a cup of hot chocolate and a tray of Oreo cookies-her favorite guilty pleasure. She would be in bed wearing her pajamas and watching some movie.And if she'd been able to do that, instead of attending this party, she would have missed seeing Dimitri. Kelly was definitely okay with that. She was still mad at him for what he did with Edward Franklin, but the longer he stayed so close to her, she felt that anger slowly slipping away.... Replaced by a desire to forget everything and throw herself into his arms. She hated feeling like this.
MAKE YOU MINE Chapter Twenty Five
She was on the phone with her back to him.He should walk away now. It was tempting as he stood there and thrust his hands into the front pockets of his pants. There were still plenty of women in the ballroom who he could dance with, have drinks with while talking, and maybe even take back home for the night. He also hadn’t forgotten Peter's offer to attend his private party. Again, plenty of willing women.Dimitri did not have to stand here and deal with Kelly Darcy especially with everything going on with her father, who had glared angrily at him throughout the entire night.But the moment he heard the small hitch in her voice as she spoke to whoever she was speaking to, he knew he wasn’t going up to any private party.And he wasn’t going to snag some other woman from the ballroom. He was going to stay right here until he knew Kelly was okay.“Yes,&r
MAKE YOU MINE Chapter Twenty Six
Kelly didn’t look away.“You’ve no place to run,” he said, his voice going lower. Sexier.She remained unfazed, at least on the outside. “I don’t run from anything,” she told him. “And I’m not easily intimidated.”He tilted his head curiously and arched a brow. "That's good to know.” he said.He took another step and leaned in before pausing to look down at her hands. Kelly had not moved a muscle. She held eye contact with him. A part of her wanted to take another step around him, while an-other part—the stubborn and inquisitive part—stood still and waited. For what, she wasn’t quite sure. All she knew for certain was that she wanted to know what he was going to do next."I feel like you are avoiding me, Kelly. Why is that?" he asked."I didn't say anything l
MAKE YOU MINE Chapter Twenty Seven
But he didn't. Knowing that it was a bad time and he would only end up pushing her further away from him. So all he did was to step closer and stand beside her."This party was organized so we could find potential investors. Your aim is to bring down the company, so why exactly are you here, Dimitri? To talk them out of it just like you did with Edward Franklin?" she asked.He didn't look at her. He couldn't. Maybe because he was a little embarrassed about what he had to say, and he didn't even know why, but he wanted to be honest with her."I guess I came because I wanted to see you" he said simply, still staring out the balcony, refusing to face her.She turned to face him then, and he knew that she was surprised by his answer. Hell, he was surprised that he had admitted it, so he didn't blame her when she gave him that look and said, "What?""Yeah I kno
MAKE YOU MINE Chapter Twenty Eight
She knew that Dimitri was right. She wanted him all right, but she was seriously overthinking the consequences that this decision could have on her.It was different when she didn't know who he was, but now, even when she knew, her feelings didn't change one bit. She wanted to be with him, and she was considering his suggestion that they spend the night together.The car sped through the night, smooth and silent, the darkness of the interior ensuring their privacy and increasing the intimacy. And again, Kelly made a wild decision.Dimitri was staring out the window too, and he had one hand on the car seat. Kelly watched him for a few seconds and then slowly, she let her hand slid to his. Gently she stroked his wrist with her fingers, and she felt Dimitri tense immediately.Dimitri didn't turn to look at her, because he wasn't really sure she was touching him on purpose. And he was a
