"If you do not want me to walk you to your room, you can just say so. No need to lie." His words sliced through the air just as the music stopped. His hand was gripping mine harder, his fingers digging into my waist. While the other couples were slowing down and coming to a stop, laughing and chuckling. Ian looked ready to combust any second.

The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 41- Smile
-Damian- She smiled at me as if this was the outcome she had hoped to achieve all this time. To wrap me around her little, manicured fingers and jam them so hard into my ribs so that I have no other option but to listen to her and marry her."I'm happy you finally found the time to have this dinner with me." She took a sip of her wine. "Honestly, judging by how the last time ended I thought you were unhappy with the arrangement your mother made, the other girls were worried you might not come around." She curved her lips, her fingers trasing the rim of her wine glass."Come around?" "Oh yeah, arranging the dinner with us, or at least telling your mother to arrange it." "Right, of course." I gave her a tight smile. "There is no other place that I would rather be than here." I lied through my teeth and continued looking over the menu. The food has to be proper. It has to be something that will not make anyone suspicious of my loyalties. It has to be something that screams my nam
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 40- Heiress
-Damian- Her hand was a warm presence on my thigh as she purred into my ear. When it became clear that she was not backing off on her own, I took her wrist and gently put it back in her lap. "You're a lady, Miss Montgomery. Let's go have our dinner now." I put my hand back on the steering wheel. Her bottom lip purses out in a pout. I didn't let it show that her mere touch provoked such a visceral reaction of rejection from my body. That every single time her breath hit my skin, it made me want to crawl out of my body. She was shallow and she wanted me. Well, that is incorrect. She wanted the status and the money, and she wanted to be Damian Sinclair's wife and child bearer just to enhance her status in our world. She didn't like me. My hand tightened on the steering wheel, when a whiff of Isabella's perfume hit my nostrils out of nowhere. I'm going to be sick. We weren't even exclusive, we were just... having fun... Yes, having fun. My knuckles were white from my grip on the
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 39- Inevitable
-Damian-I dropped Bella off at her office and went straight back to the Bronx to Aureum Capital's office building. When I walked toward my office, I could see that Jessica was nowhere to be found. That was odd, Jessica was punctual and she was usually there before I even arrived. This morning I was even running thirty minutes late. I walked into my office, there I found Alfred texting on his phone with his legs propped up on the adjoining desk that I had set up for him yesterday morning. He seemed at ease, his lips were curled in a wicked smirk, and didn't see me for a second there. I was surprised to find him here. I thought he would be a lazy bum that didn't want to work or that would come in late. But alas, he surprised me. I cleared my throat to get his attention. His eyes snapped up and he immediately put his legs down and stood up. "Good morning, Damien, sir.""Good morning, Alfred. I'm surprised to see you here this early." I mused "It's okay, you can even call me D." I
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 38- Work
-Isabella-The drive to work was even faster than it was yesterday. We got there in twenty minutes. It was insane how fast one can drive when it's not a cab. Especially when they're not aiming to take all of my money away. Damian and I actually enjoyed our drive, we were listening to the music and watched the city blur past us.Damian was driving fast, like insanely fast, and his hand rested on my thigh the whole way from the Bronx to my work. He pulled up in front of the publishing house, the brick building still standing there. The huge sign that said Archipelago Books was still above the door. It all felt so surreal. Everything was just right there in front of me, and still I couldn't believe my luck, I had the job. I had a publishing house I was a member of. An editorial member.I smiled and looked at Damian, who was sitting there looking at me, his one hand on the wheel, the other resting on my thigh. He squeezed the flesh of my thigh once. "You're doing great. You're being p
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 37- New Morning
-Isabella-He finished making the dinner, and I helped him set the table. The lightness before the conversation, or the lightness of the conversation before his mother called, was gone, replaced by a sudden intensity that left us both feeling awkward. We talked to each other, yes. We both felt weird, yes. But we also chose to stay, despite it all. And so we did. We sat by the dinner table, across from each other. Eating whatever the mix and mash of these flavors he made was. Despite it being a mash of anything and everything... if I'm being honest, it was the most amazing meal I had since ever. Probably since the night at the restaurant, perhaps, but ever in my life. Even my mother's cooking couldn't have been so juicy and so tasty."How did you learn to cook?" I asked him, and his grip on the utensils tightened. He licked his lips, not meeting my gaze for even a second. "My mother used to help the servants in the house, the staff. Among them was an older cook. She was so kind. S
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 36- Aftermath
-Isabella-Damien shifted to lay next to me. His warm body pressed up against mine as my head rested against his chest. The soft rhythmic beat of his heart was like a melody made only for me.I stayed there listening, unwilling to move. I was sure that for the first time in a long while, I finally tasted my very own slice of heaven. Just the quiet presence of a man next to me. He kissed my temple and rubbed my arms gently as we lay on his bed. I didn't even know what to think. It just felt right. And just as it felt right, I realized how much moments like these meant to me, how right they were. The world quieted around him.We had each other and his presence was constant, unrepentant and unrelenting.I felt like we laid there for hours like that, we were spent, happy, and pleased. That is until Damien pulled away. As he got out of bed, he leaned over me and kissed my forehead gently. "I'll be right back." He murmured, going to the adjoining bathroom to take a shower. As he moved,

-Isabella-"I can help you... we'll find you a good job. A perfect job. We can do this..." he says so gently it almost breaks my heart. "It won't be a debt. Nothing is a debt to me, Bella."I swallow thickly as I look into his eyes. "You don't owe me shit. Do you hear me?" He asks gently, brushin
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 15- Debt
-Isabella- "I chose the room for you." He waits for my reaction, but I'm stuck in one position. Eyes wide, mouth parted in surprise, shock. Thoughts running a mile a minute.Damian watches me with certainty. Decisiveness. His face is not a mask, like when we have an audience. It's an open book

The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 10- The Dress
-Isabella- "So what will you do?" Melody asked, and I rolled my eyes, adjusting the straps of the dress as I stood on the podium in the opulent changing room. Of a famous boutique located in Manhattan."Well, I am trying on dresses, am I not?!" I snapped at her in frustration as the stupid strap
