A Deal With The Devil のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 221 - チャプター 230

Elena“Going somewhere, Lena?” Damien leaned against the door of my bedroom and watched me. He was still shirtless, his unbelievably muscled chest gleaming with sweat. His fingers gripped the ends of a fluffy white towel hanging around his neck. There were small, soiled bandages wrapped around his fingers, and I could see the calluses on his hands. What had he been doing after dropping that bombshell news on my mom earlier?I was mad at her for hiding it from me, her only daughter. While Damien and the entire world knew about it, I felt like a fool for my ignorance. Maybe she didn’t trust me well enough. It hurt, but I deserved it. I had never been there for her. I had defied her wishes and escaped four years ago.“Going to university.” I tried to ignore the heat emanating from his body. The way his eyes always darkened when they looked at me triggered wrong ideas in my head. I knew I should have grown accustomed to his bare torso by now, but I hadn’t. It was bothering me to the exten

Elena“I’m not kissing you to prove anything!” I hissed angrily, tired of the challenge I hadn’t accepted it. Yet he was hell-bent on proving something I was well aware of. Even a blind person could feel the attraction between us. How could I be immune to a heartthrob like him? He rolled his eyes at me. “Hey, stop putting words in my mouth. Do you think I’m doing this for a kiss?” “Yes, I mean no...” If not a kiss, how was he planning to prove it? What did he mean? Didn’t he want to kiss me? I couldn’t stop the disappointment in my heart. “Stop this crazy game, please.” We both walked awkwardly alongside towards our home. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined myself living with Damien in his house. And never had I expected to consider his home as mine. I gave him a sideways glance to find him staring at me. “It’s not a game for me.” His voice was gruff while his sinful gaze devoured me. “It never was and never will be.” What did he mean now? In a split second, his face shutte

Elena“What the f*ck! No...” My voice trailed off as he leaned forward, closing the distance between us. I swallowed a lusty gasp when he pinned his muscular legs against mine. With his body pressed to mine, I could feel him, every part of him. His mussed hair and five o’clock shadow drew me towards him like a magnet. His eyes were dark as thunderclouds, holding me captive. ‘Oh God! He’s going to kiss me!’ chanted my inner mind.His fingers cupped my nape while the heavy wall of his chest pressed into my sensitive breasts. His eyes heated, and he rubbed himself against me - slowly, sensuously, making me delirious. My heart pounded as I waited for his lips to descend on mine. I had craved this moment for years! At last, he pressed his lips against mine in a lingering kiss, making my eyes glaze with passion. I could feel my pulse throb with wild abandon. Closing my eyes, I sank into him, into his warmth as his fiery mouth teased me, promising me more. A soft, breathy moan escaped my

Elena I stilled, paling at the sight of them. Everly gasped in surprise as her judgmental glare swept over me. She turned to face Damien. “What the fu*k is she doing here, Damien?” She trembled with fury as she entered the apartment and circled me. “I explained to you. I saved Elena from some crooks and sheltered her here.” Damien glared at me, his gaze dropping to the luggage on the floor. “So you were planning to escape again!” He sounded furious, as if I had committed a crime. I looked at him, ready to face his wrath. “Yes, I was going home.” Did he expect me to stay and watch them together? When he couldn’t tolerate Cayden near me, how could he expect me to see Everly with him? Cayden had just been my friend while he slept with Everly every night. His jaw clenched as he entered the room. “You’re going nowhere. Get yourself an education first. It doesn’t come free.” He picked up my luggage and strode towards my room with Everly following him. “Let her go, Damien. Stop being an

Elena“What a pleasant surprise, Elli! Did you get leave from university, finally?” Mom hugged me close with tears of happiness in her eyes.“I quit, Mom. I can’t live there for two years. You were right. I shouldn’t have left home.” My throat choked with emotions I couldn’t control. After what I went through, my mother’s embrace felt like heaven. It erased my bitterness momentarily. I hugged her back, resting my heavy head on her shoulders.“Hush, sweetheart. I’m glad you returned home.” Then she felt my forehead and released me. “You’re burning with fever, Ellie. Why did you drive so far in these conditions? Where’s Damien?” She frowned, searching for Damien behind me.“He’s busy with Everly. I couldn’t take her insults, Mom.” I was tired of hiding my emotions from my mom.She gasped in surprise. “Oh, I should’ve known.”Mom fussed over me, taking care of me as no one had ever done in my life. With the family by my side, fussing over me, I was better in a day.“Uncle Stephen is comi
