Scent of Obsession Chapter 38: Cold Clarity
Chapter 38: Cold ClarityDamien's POVShe fell asleep at nine.He knew because her breathing changed. The shift he'd memorized without meaning to, the way her exhales evened out and the small tension she carried even in rest finally let go. Three months of her in his bed had made him fluent in the language of her sleep.He lay still for another twenty minutes.Then he carefully moved her hand from his and got up.The study was dark. He didn't turn on the main light. Just the desk lamp, low, casting everything gold, and he sat down and looked at his phone and looked at the city and thought about what he was about to do.He'd been thinking about it since Hale left.Since he'd read the paper title.Since he'd sat across from Elias and watched him decide not to tell the truth and let him make that decision because he already knew enough to not need Elias to fill in the rest.He picked up the phone.Dialed.It rang four times before a man picked up with the specific wariness of someone rec
Scent of Obsession Chapter 37: Lines Blurred
Chapter 37: Lines Blurred Damien's POVShe was in the kitchen when he got back.He heard her before he saw her. The clink of a mug. The coffee machine finishing. Then she walked out and nearly ran into him and stopped with the mug in both hands and her hair still down from last night and her eyes doing the thing they did when she was caught off guard and didn't want to show it.They looked at each other."You're back," she said."Meeting ran long."She nodded and moved past him toward the couch and he watched her go and said nothing and loosened his tie and dropped his jacket on the chair and stayed standing because the room felt smaller than usual and he couldn't work out why.He could work out why.He just wasn't ready to name it yet.She sat with her knees pulled up and her coffee and her eyes on the city and he looked at her profile and thought about sixty two pages and a paper title and three years and a private lab and the blanket that had started all of this sitting in the bac
Scent of Obsession Chapter 36: The File
Chapter 36: The FileDamien's POVThe file was forty three pages.Damien sat at his desk with it open in front of him, coffee untouched, the city dark beyond the windows. Across from him Hale sat with his jacket on and his notepad on his knee and the specific expression of a man who had delivered bad information enough times to do it without flinching.Damien had hired him for exactly that."Start from the beginning," Damien said.Hale flipped back a page."Raymond Coker. Fifty four. Born outside Chicago. Relocated to New York at twenty two." He cleared his throat"First marriage dissolved within a year. Second marriage was to a woman named Adaeze Kane. Widow. Two children from her first marriage. Elias and Liora."Damien said nothing."He was patient with the mother," Hale continued. "Deliberate. The courtship took almost two years. Gifts. Stability. Exactly what a woman raising two children alone needed to see." He paused. "The children were twelve and nine when he moved in."Damien
Scent of Obsession Chapter 35: Undone
Chapter 35: UndoneLiora's POVThe penthouse was quiet.She hadn't turned on many lights. Just the lamp by the window and the low glow from the city coming through the glass. She sat on the couch with her legs tucked under her and her phone face down on the cushion beside her and her wine untouched on the table.It had taken Elias two hours to calm down.Two hours of him pacing their apartment asking questions she answered carefully and watching her face with the typical attention of a brother who knew her inside out, and she'd smiled and deflected and reassured until he'd finally let it go. She was fine. The champagne had been spiked and Damien had handled it and she was fine.He'd believed her.Or he'd decided to believe her.She stared at the city.Now she was here and alone with her thoughts, weather it was a blessing or a curse, she couldnt decide.The gala kept coming back in pieces.Raymond's face near the pillar. The familiar smile of his, of a man who thought he still owned s
Scent of Obsession Chapter 34: Morning
Chapter 34: MorningDamien's POVDr. Patel left at six forty.He closed the door behind her and turned around and Liora was already up, moving toward the window with the sheet wrapped around her shoulders like she hadn't spent the last hour pretending to be more asleep than she was.He'd known she was awake.He knew her breathing when she slept. Three months of her in his bed had made that automatic, the rhythm of it, the way her exhales evened out and her body went loose and the stillness that meant she was actually under. None of that had been present tonight. She'd been lying there with her eyes closed and her mind running and he'd let her have it.He watched her now.She stood at the window with her back to him the sheets covering her, Barely. The morning light coming in grey and flat behind her. His shirt was on the chair where he'd left it last night. She crossed to it without looking at him, dropped the sheet, and he looked away at that point his cheeks heating. She didn't loo
Scent of Obsession Chapter 33: Decided
Chapter 33: DecidedDamien's POVForty minutes.He kept coming back to that number.Liora sat against him, forehead at his shoulder, fingers twisted in his shirt. Her breathing had changed in the last ten minutes. Shallower. Uneven. The flush at her throat had crept to her collarbone and her grip on his shirt had gone tight in a way that had nothing to do with fear.He knew the difference.He had catalogued her for three months. Every version of her. He knew this one too.She was fighting it.The drug was doing what it was designed to do and Liora Kane was gritting her teeth against her own body with the discipline of a woman who despised losing control. Her lips were parted slightly. Every exhale came out fractured.His jaw tightened.She shifted against him. A small, involuntary movement. Her thighs pressing together.His hand at her waist tightened before he decided to let it."Damien." Her voice came out low. Strained at the edges.Not careful. Not deferential.Like she was allowe

Chapter 32Damien's POVSomething was wrong.Damien felt it before he could explain it.One moment he was listening to a board member discuss Raymond Coker. The next he was scanning the ballroom, searching for a flash of emerald silk.Liora was gone.His pulse kicked hard.He crossed the room immed

Chapter 3: The Second NightLiora couldn't sleep.Not a single wink. Not even close.She laid on her side with Damien's arm still wrapped around her waist, she had watched the city light move across the ceiling in slow, shapeless patterns while Damien slept with his body practically molding into he
Scent of Obsession Chapter 2: The Contract
The elevator doors opened and Liora stepped out into a place that didn't feel like somewhere people actually lived. The place screamed luxury from top to bottomThe floor-to-ceiling windows. Marble that reflected the city back at itself. The kind of silence that costs money to maintain. She had a s
