บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Damon's POV "I will be in my study." I said to Nora as we got back home, heading off without a glance at her. I felt unhinged the more I stayed in her presence and I knew that wasn't her fault but that of the aunties in my family. They had messed with my head by gushing that she and I made a cute couple and I hated that I found myself agreeing with them. The only thing I needed to fix myself and cure the stupid acceptance of intimacy in my head was to throw myself into work. I breathed in relief as I walked into my study, stepped behind the desk and settled down with the files that I didn't need to work on. I had already worked on them and due to the recent rejections of contracts I'd been getting, I was afraid there would be fewer contracts to work on and I might end up becoming jobless. I couldn't allow that. I picked up my phone and dialed Hart, biting my lower lip nervously as I waited for him to pick up. "Hello," Hart groaned into the phone. "Damon?" I frowned at his

Nora's POV It felt like fire licking my veins but I shifted closer to Damon, trying to get more of the heat without caring if it burned me. I would gladly go to hell if this was the way it burned.Damon wasn't responding yet the way I would have wanted him to but I felt glad he didn't move away from me. I felt encouraged that he wanted me even if it wasn't as much as I wanted him. I slanted my lips over his, careful not to touch him and set him off. I kept my hands rigidly fixed at my side even though I wanted to run them all over his body and through his hair.I kept on kissing him and my heart jumped in glee when I felt his lips move slightly against mine. Yes, Damon. I thought, praying he would let go of his inhibition and fully be in the moment.After a while, he pulled apart and I let out a sigh, agreeing that the magic had been broken. "I'm sorry," I breathed, embarrassed to look up at him."Don't be." He rasped, his voice husky.I looked at him, pleased that he hadn't been as

Damon's POVWhat have I done?I sighed as I opened my eyes and saw Nora sleeping soundly beside me. She was curled against me, her lashes fluttering gently on her pale skin and my heart clenched with pain as images of the previous night flooded my brain.I let out another groan, hating that I had allowed myself to get carried away as much as I was excited that I had made love to a woman and surprisingly enjoyed it. After the trauma I had gone through as a child, it had been hard dealing with a lady and thinking of intimacy with them. I couldn't remember any encounter with a female that I hadn't embarrassed myself or freaked the lady out. With time, I stopped letting myself feel anything and wanting any sexual act with a lady.I remembered the first girl I had fallen for. It was my prom date and she had hated me ever since then. She had been so into me that I deluded myself into thinking I could forget my fear. She had leaned toward me for a kiss and I had stood still, wondering how go

Damon's POV "Aren't you going home?" Hart asked as he walked into my office, checking the time on his watch.I shook my head. "Not yet. I still have a lot to do." I replied, picking up a document from my desk without knowing what it was.As long as it was enough to make me look busy, I was fine."What do you have to do?" Hart asked, chuckling.His voice sounded like he was mocking me and I lifted my head to stare at him and realized that he was indeed mocking me. His eyebrows were arched in an odd manner and there was an unmistakable twinkle in his eyes that showed that he was having fun at my expense."What do you know about what I have to do?" I scoffed at him.He chuckled again, settling into the chair opposite me. "First, it's past nine and as much as I know you to be a workaholic, I've never seen you work this late. Second, you are busy reading a document that we are done with. I came in to shred the documents before going home and here you are, reading what is no longer needed

Damon's POV "You didn't go home!" Hart yelled as he looked at me, his eyes popping in shock.I groaned, rubbing the stiff knot that had lodged itself in my neck due to how uncomfortable my sleeping position for the night had been. "I slept off while working." I explained, wincing at the way my muscles popped as I stretched my arms and legs while seated.I hadn't planned to sleep in the office but Nora had called just when I had assumed that she was asleep and decided to go home. I had planned to wait an hour more before leaving and slept off.Hart snorted. "I would have thought you were indeed working if I hadn't seen what you chose to work on last night." He said, taunting me."Don't taunt me." I sighed. "It's a new day.""Is it?" He asked, arching his eyebrows at me. "You look like you were pushed under a roller and pulled out." He said, his gaze fixed on my clothes.I sighed as I glanced down at my clothes, noticing how crumpled they look and reminding myself that I didn't have a
