Damian calmed himself before returning from the shower. Layla was sleeping with her tummy faced on the bed. The shirt that she wore was so big that she looked funny in it. Her petite frame and his tall athletic figure, it was a great contrast. Damian lay beside her, wrapped his hand around her tiny waist, and sniffed the scent of her shampoo with his head buried in her neck. Layla instantly froze with his hand around her waist and he knew she was still awake.To tease her, he moved his hands to her legs and brushed them slowly to her thighs. When it reached her knees, she caught it and said, “ I’m sorry Damian, I have cramps”Damian’s hand froze underneath her and she stiffened with remorse, how could she have forgotten so quickly? She called him by his name and now he will have to punish her.“ Damian?” Damian said with anger laced in his tone and his voice a little bit loud.Layla instantly sat up, with her heart pounding in her chest, she had seen Damian cold for some reason but

Layla was wise enough to know that the more she tried to defend her lies, the more entangled she became. “ Am sorry, I am not ready for sex so I lied”. She knew there was no way around it this time, it’s better she apologized.Her voice was low but Damian heard her. In a way, he was happy that she confessed but also, he was being at odds. His hands loosened around her waist but he didn’t remove it. “ Not ready or are you keeping yourself for someone else?” He asked with a bit of annoyance.With her body pressed against his, she felt awkward especially when he asked her that question. Though his hold wasn’t tight, it was scary how the young man saw through her like a transparent glass. She made a mental note not to lie to him anymore, she would just be found out.“ I already told you the answer, I am not ready for sex, I need time to adjust,” Damian thought he was prepared for this but somehow he felt his heart acting strangely. He couldn’t say that he loved her yet, but why did it h

Damian had sensed the tension between Layla and Debra earlier and he wanted to know, “What was that about?” he asked immediately they called into the elevator and the door was shut. Layla could not tell him that Debra was one of the people who took delight in bullying her in school, and she knows better than to lie to him so she kept mute.“ You know I will still find out even if you don’t tell me right?”“ Fine,” Layla agreed. He could find out by himself but she wasn’t going to tell him. Damian found Layla’s response strange and wished she could just tell him and save him the stress of investigating.“ I thought you would be nice enough to give me full detail about what happened after using me out there,” Damian said in a slightly disappointed tone.Layla wanted to nag, how could he pin it all on her as if he didn’t enjoy it? Lifting her head and seeing that he was really disappointed, she felt guilty.“ I’m sorry,” she said in a remorseful tone. Damian laughed, he was just teasin

Layla opened her drowsy eyes to the mesmerizing sight of the horizon. Sleep disappeared from her eyes as she witnessed the beautiful and amazing blend of colors in the sky with the raising of the sun.Her eyes even widened more as she felt the sky close to her. She forced herself not to blink, not wanting to miss out on something very important.It was during this golden moment that she realized that a strong masculine arm was wrapped around her and she was wearing clothes she didn’t remember putting in by herself.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Damian asked in his deep alluring voice. Layla turned to look at him and he could tell from her expression that she was mesmerized by everything. Also, she was seated at the beach and there were a few people around too.“ It’s enchanting and I love it,” Layla responded, while smiling and taking the glass of champagne he offered her. Damian smiled. He was glad she liked it, if she didn’t like it then all his efforts were in vain.“ Do you wan

“ Thanks for responding to my request positively. I want us to have this conversation somewhere private.” Debra said as soon as Damian walked into the elevator.Anger found its way through Damian's heart but he tried his best to hold it. “ Why would I want to hold a conversation with you privately? If there is anything you have to say, speak now and it better be something reasonable otherwise you'd pay dearly for wasting my time.” He responded, his voice sounding cold and annoyed.Debra looked disappointed, She thought she already had Damian wrapped in her charms at the table, or maybe he was just playing hard to get. “ There's no need to pretend, she's not here,” Debra said, as she walked over to him.Damian was upset, after the efforts he put in to have Layla marry him why would he look at another woman? Not even the most beautiful girl in the works will ever have his attention, his eyes have value for only one woman, and that person is Layla. “ I'm here because I want to find ou
