Aria’s P.O.V

The adrenaline from the near-miss with my friend was still humming through my veins, making my heart race against my ribs. I leaned back against the table, breathless, as Damien stepped closer, closing the gap between us. He didn't let the interruption break the mood; if anything, the risk had only added a spark of electricity to the air, a secret shared between us that made the room feel smaller, more intimate.

    Aria’s P.O.VThe room was bathed in the soft, amber glow of the bedside lamp, the air still heavy with the scent of sex and the lingering warmth of our bodies. I lay on my side, curled slightly into the curve of Damien’s chest, feeling the steady, rhythmic thrum of his heart against my shoulder. The silence between us wasn't empty; it was full, weighted with the intimacy of what we had just shared.Damien’s hand was a warm weight on my skin, his fingers tracing lazy, mindless circles on the small of my back. The sensation was hypnotic, grounding me after the storm of pleasure that had left me trembling.I closed my eyes, letting the tension bleed out of my muscles, feeling safer in this small circle of light than I had in years."Aria," he murmured, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that seemed to echo in my chest. "I've been thinking about what you said earlier.

I leaned back against the table, breathless, as Damien stepped closer, closing the gap between us. He didn't let the interruption break the mood; if anything, the risk had only added a spark of electricity to the air, a secret shared between us that made the room feel smaller, more intimate.He reached out, pulling my cardigan over my head and throwing it aside before his eyes returned to the my body, his fingers grazing the thin strap of my red silk nightgown. The fabric was light, barely a whisper against my skin, and his touch felt like a brand."You have no idea how incredible you look in this," he murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that sent a shiver straight down my spine. "I've been thinking about this red silk since the moment you men

    Aria's P.O.VFor several long seconds, nobody moved.Tory stood in the doorway pointing at us like she'd just exposed an international conspiracy, Damien looked mildly annoyed that our conversation had been interrupted, and I stood frozen between them clutching a bottle of wine while wearing red lingerie beneath a cardigan that no longer covered nearly enough.It was, without question, the worst moment of my life.Then Tory's eyes widened.She blinked once.Twice.Three times.And suddenly her mouth fell open. "Oh my God."I winced."Oh my God!""Tory...""Oh my God!" Her voice climbed several octaves higher. "THAT'S DAMIEN HENDERSON!"The scream echoed through the hallway and my soul immediately left my body.Before she could continue, I slapped a hand over her mouth and physically dragged her backward into t

  • One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 31: Caught Red-Handed

    Aria's P.O.VI stared at the message I'd sent Damien twenty-three minutes ago and seriously considered throwing my phone straight through the nearest window.Me: Emergency.Me: Do not come over tonight.Me: Repeat.Me: Do. Not. Come. Over.Me: Tory is here.Five messages. Five increasingly desperate attempts to stop what was quickly becoming an unavoidable disaster, and yet my phone remained stubbornly silent, offering no response whatsoever.Under normal circumstances, Damien was annoyingly prompt when replying to me. Unfortunately, today appeared to be one of the rare occasions when his phone had apparently vanished into another dimension.Or, more likely, he'd put it on silent.Which meant there was a very real possibility that he was already on his way.I glanced toward my kitchen and immediately regretted it."Tory, please stop eating that."My best friend looked up from the bowl of pasta in her hands with all the innocence of a serial offender caught at the scene of the crime.

    Landon's P.O.VI stared through the glass wall of the conference room and felt something inside my chest crack.Aria was laughing.Not one of those polite little smiles she used to give people when she was trying to be nice. Not the awkward smile she wore whenever she wanted to avoid conflict.She was genuinely laughing.And Damien Henderson was standing right beside her.The sight made my jaw tighten.Across the office floor, Aria stood next to Damien's desk with a tablet in her hands while the two of them reviewed something together. Damien leaned closer and said something I couldn't hear. A second later, Aria rolled her eyes.Then she laughed while Damien smirked.The interaction was casual. Comfortable, natural even, as if they had known each other for years.I looked away first.Because for some reason, watching them felt like invisible hands were squeezing the air out of my lungs.For weeks now, I had been telling myself that I was angry. That Aria was moving on too quickly and

    Aria's P.O.V"Wait."The word left my mouth before I could stop it.Damien paused halfway down the hallway and looked back at me, his hand still wrapped around mine. "What?"I stared at him for several seconds, still trying to process everything he had just said.A penthouse…above my apartment building.A secret renovation project that had somehow turned into a future plan that somehow involved living right next to me.The realization made my stomach twist into knots, because I had spent the last week convincing myself that he was hiding another woman or an entire family in the closet, while he had apparently been building an entire life around me.God…I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole."You were really doing all this for me?" I asked quietly. “You were really just making plans for the renovations while I…”Something softened in Damien's expression. "I wasn't building it for a stranger, that’s why I knew I had to take care of all the aspects of the renovation by mysel
