Her stomach flipped. "For what?"

"For Friday. For having dinner with another man. For letting him make you laugh. For touching his hand. For making me watch while another man gave you something I should have been giving you....normalcy, comfort and ease." His jaw clenched. "For making me realize I'd rather risk everything than lose you to someone else."

"That's not fair! You said I could..."

"I don't care about fair." His hand shot out, gripped her chin firmly. "I care about making sure you und

  • The Maid's Deception   Chapter 140: The Claiming

    ARIA'S POVHis fingers slid through her wetness, and Aria's entire body trembled against the desk."So responsive," Damien murmured from behind her. "Your body always tells me the truth, even when your mouth tries to lie Aria."She couldn't form words. Could barely breathe. Her ass was still burning from the spanking, her panties were around her thighs, and his fingers were exploring her with deliberate, maddening slowness.Through the glass wall in front of her, she could see Emma settling back at her desk with fresh coffee. Mark walking past with files. Jennifer laughing at something on her phone.Normal office life. Completely oblivious to what was happening just twenty feet away."Please," Aria whispered, not even sure what she was begging for."Please what?" His fingers circled her clit, barely touching, teasing. "Use your words.""Please, Damien. I need....." "You need what? To come? To be reminded who owns this body? To understand what complete submission actually means?""Yes

"For making me realize I'd rather risk everything than lose you to someone else.""That's not fair! You said I could...""I don't care about fair." His hand shot out, gripped her chin firmly. "I care about making sure you understand....truly understand...who you belong to. What it means to be mine. What submission actually looks like."Her breath stuttered. "I already know...""No. You don't. Not yet. But you're about to learn." He released her chin, stepped back. "Close the door. Lock it."She obeyed on trembling legs, the soft click of the lock sounding impossibly loud in the quiet office.Through the glass walls, she could see the office beyond. People starting to arrive. Settling at their desks. Completely unawa

    DAMIEN'S POV - The WeekendDamien spent the weekend in hell.Not the productive kind of hell where he buried himself in work and emerged with solutions. The useless kind where he paced his study, drank too much scotch, and replayed Friday night on an endless loop.Aria's face when he'd kissed her in that bathroom. The desperate way she'd kissed him back. The devastation in her eyes when he'd told her to go back to Marcus Her text: I'm close. I'm so close.To breaking. To giving up. To walking away from him forever.And the thought of losing her....really, truly losing her....was unbearable.Julian had called Saturday afternoon."How are you holding up?""I'm not.""Good. Because you shouldn't be. What you did Friday was insane. Following her to the restaurant, cornering her in the bathroom, kissing her and then pushing her away....""I know. I'm a bastard.""You're going to lose her." Julian's voice was sharp. "Not to another man. Not to betrayal. To exhaustion. She's going to hit he

Tonight. Right now.""I'm already eating. I ordered pizza.""Cancel it.Julian had heard something in his voice. "Where?""Rossi's on 5th."A pause. "That's where Aria is having dinner, isn't it?""Yes.""Damien, this is a bad idea.....""I don't care. I need to see....I need to know....." He couldn't finish."You need to know if she's interested in him.""Yes."Julian had sighed. "Give me twenty minutes. And Damien? Don't do anything stupid."But sitting in the restaurant, watching Aria laugh at som

    ARIA'S POVAfter days of working at Blackwood Enterprises....Aria felt like she'd aged ten years.The work itself was manageable. She'd gotten good at anticipating Damien's needs, at handling the constant demands, at being the perfect assistant.But the emotional toll was crushing. Every day brought new tests, new torture, new moments of hope followed by devastating distance.She was exhausted. Hollowed out. Running on fumes and sheer stubbornness.Which was why, when Marcus texted her at 5 PM asking if she wanted to grab dinner after work, she said yes without thinking.I need a break. Need to be around someone who doesn't make my heart hurt. Dinner sounds perfect.His response: Great! How about Rossi's? That Italian place on 5th? 7 PM?Perfect.

    Then he stepped back, putting distance between them again. Professional space. Safe space."Go home," he said, his voice rough. "You've had a hard day. Get some rest.""But it's only 5 PM. I usually stay until....""I know. But I'm telling you to go. Take the evening. Recover. Come back tomorrow ready to keep fighting."She nodded, gathering her things from his office. As she reached the door, she paused."Damien?""Yes?""Thank you. For telling me about Victoria. For...for pushing her away. It helps. Knowing that.""Good. Now go. Before I do something stupid like kiss you."The words sent heat flooding through her. But she obeyed, leaving his office and returning to her desk.As she packed up her things, she noticed something she'd missed before.A small piece of paper on her desk, folded in half. Her name written on the outside in Damien's bold handwriting.She opened it with trembling hands.She means nothing. You mean everything. I'm sorry I made you doubt that. I'm sorry I keep h
