CHAPTER TWENTY TWOSerena woke up feeling like an asshole, she was going to apologize to Damon for last night if she could find him. Apparently he had gone out while she had been asleep, no doubt her father had been caught and an interrogation already underway.He had touched her in ways she could only dream of being touched and he had been offended by her obvious thoughts about him.I mean wasn’t he the one who asked that a contract of consensual BDSM sex is drawn up between the both of them so how dare he act so offended by her analysis of him, Serena thought.The day was looking to be on of fruitless Ed’s and boredom and so she decided to stop by her mother’s, at least there she would not have to worry about Damon and how she was going to apologize to him and she could keep her mother company also. She had absolutely no plans to inform her of the things she had heard during Damon’s meeting, no need to rile the woman up when Damon could actually let her father go if he spoke the ab
CHAPTER TWENTY THREESerena stayed as far away from Jakes as the house could allow without it being extremely awkward and once in a while when she looked up, she caught him staring at her with some look in his eyes. He was beginning to creep her out and she could only blame it on Damon.. for God sake, she had loved the boy before Damon and the marriage and now she could not even bear to look at him after his suggestion that they went out behind the backs of her husband and her sister, his girlfriend.“Are you okay, Serena?” Her mother called, probably after observing how deep in thought she was.“I am fine mother, I was thinking of the whole situation, you know. How are you feeling? Were you able to get a little sleep last night?”“I tried but sleep wouldn’t come to me, with my husband being out there and at the mercy of kidnappers, I could hardly sleep a wink.”Serena’s left eye began twitching, it always happened when she had something to say but was trying so hard not to say anythi
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR“We are here but I must warn you that he is in a meeting and would not like to be disturbed.” Santos told a fuming Serena.“Keep your warnings to yourself, Santos. I do not care what he is in right now, I am going to kill him.”Santos looked at her like she was a deranged woman, she was sure he had no idea what she was going on about and with how relaxed he was, he already gauged that she won’t be able to life a finger before Damon buried her with bullets.“Lead the way” Serena tapped her foot after getting out and seeing that Santos was still seated in the car.He got down, looked her over on last time, resisted the urge to shake his head at the mad woman his boss had been forced to marry and the entered the office building with Serena in tow.Damon had no idea of their visit, Serena made sure of that. She was dying to see the look of surprise on his face before she began pelting him with blows for failing to mention that he knew of her mother’s involvement in the
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE“Should we be doing this here” Serena gasped as Damon removed flipped down her dress, letting it pool around her legs.“Are you cold” he asked, his voice clogged.“Yes” Serena responded.Goosebump were already coating her arm as a result of the air conditioning in the office.“Good, I am the only one that can make you hot now.” He said grinning devilishly.Warmth flooded Serena’s veins at his words, he did have a way with words. Saying things that could set her on fire one minute and then make her cold like she had just been outside and was drenched in rain.“Don’t you have work to do?” Serena asked as Damon carried her and placed on his table, sending everything on it to the ground.“I do and that is making you orgasm three times in succession.” He said kneeling and parting her legs to reveal white panties.“You always wear white, it drives me crazy.” He groaned at the sight of her pussy in white lace.Serena did not respond, she could hardly breathe. They stayed
CHAPTER TWENTY SIXSerena found the table quite uncomfortable and so she slept on the couch in Damon’s office, smiling all the way as she did so, or at least that was what he had told her when she woke.Damon watched her sleep, her mouth slightly open and her hair a beautiful red mess, she looked like a goddess even as she slept.MINE… his heart constricted painfully. Was he in love with her, is that the reason he was here right now watching her sleep and loving the way her lips curved in her sleep as if she was dreaming of something funny or the way he had been angry the previous day at her ridiculous attempt at seduction when she could have just talked to him about whatever. He was in love with her or at the very least, he cared a lot about her.“now who is the creepy one?” Serena said asked with laughter in her voice as she opened her eyes and focused on Damon’s face“I am merely paying back in your own coin for always watching me sleep.” Damon responded, brushing the strands o
CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN“I must be crazy bringing you here, mia dolcezza” Damon said as they got close to the warehouse.“No, you aren’t. This is you being reasonable, you know that if I speak to him, everything will be fine.”“You put too much hope on your father, Serena. He is not all you think he is.”“What does that mean?” Serena asked confused.“I mean he gave you up to settle a debt, no offense but I am not sure that is the kind of man you should hope would do the sensible thing.”Serena did not respond as they drove into the warehouse. She could see Santos waiting outside for Damon no doubt and was dying to see his reaction to her presence there.“Where is he?” Damon asked immediately they came around to meet Santos.“Inside boss” Santos responded, contemplating whether or not to ask what the fuck Serena was doing there at the moment.Serena stuck her tongue out at him as she followed Damon inside, he looked like he was about to slap her across the face and then carry her on his s
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT “Welcome Mr Matteo. Do you have a reservation with us.” The receptionist asked as soon as they walked into the restaurant.“I don’t but I was hoping there is one for my wife and I.” Damon said drawing Serena close to him.She smiled and looked at the receptionist who had her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked Serena up and down, no doubt wondering what exactly Damon saw in her.”“Of course, please follow me.” She said after some time.Damon held onto Serena’s hand as they followed the receptionist who passed them to a waiter that directed them to a special table away from the ruckus in the restaurant.They made their orders and while waiting, Serena could feel Damon’s eyes on her.“What? You are still staring at me” she asked“Nothing, I love looking at you.” He said.“So, the receptionist… did you guys ever have anything?” “No” “Really, Nothing at all? Because that was not the vibe I got when you announced our marriage.”“Everybody knows we are married, Ser
CHAPTER TWENTY NINESerena froze, staring at him as he drove. She had no idea what to say and he gave her no reprieve by asking more questions, merely kept his eyes on the road much to her dismay.“We are here.” Damon said jolting Serena from her thoughts.“Damon listen, I did not know how to tell you…” she began.“I know you have a reason why you decided to keep it from and I am fine with it.” He interrupted, leaving her staring at him.She followed after him, staring at his rigid back… he was angry, she knew and he was also trying so hard to not turn his rage on her.“We need to talk.” Serena grabbed his arm before they got into the warehouse.“What about?” He wasn’t looking at her which Serena found bothered her a lot.“I am sorry” she began. When she found out that he wasn’t going to respond, she continued.“I am sorry and I know I should have told you immediately, I freaked out.”“You freaked out” he echoed, turning to look at her.“Yes, my father… he said you were going to kil
