All Chapters of Flames of desire. : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Melanie's POVI look at the two as they walk away. They really do seem in love. They have been whispering and talking to each other like teenagers. It makes me furious. How did Damon call me plastic? How dare he walk away from me? I thought we were in love. We have a history together. I thought he would never forget about me. I was so sure that Damon was still in love with me, and Sienna and Hank told me he was. Why did I believe them? What now? I have told my lover that I am not coming back to him because I'm going back to my ex-husband. He is going to laugh at me. He is going to rub it in my face. I cannot go back to him. I have cut all ties with him. I told him he was useless next to a man like Damon Winters. He, anyway, just laughed and told me I was getting too old for him. He told me the only reason he stayed with me was because of the sex. "What now? What are we going to do now? I am not going to accept defeat. I need to get a better makeup artist who can make my face look bett

Melanie's POVTonight is the night that I win Damon back. We are going to capture everything on camera and spread the whole video on the Internet. Mike will be streaming everything live. However, he will just set up the camera. We are all in Damon's apt. Thanks to Sienna, who had a key. His father is here. Everyone is here. They are all helping me tonight to seduce Damon. None of them likes Claire. Well, I'm not so sure about Mike because he couldn't take his eyes off her all night. What is it with Claire Johnson? If men met her once, it is as if they cannot forget her. I just shake my head. Tonight, Damon will forget about her. I don't believe that they are in a relationship, maybe a sexual relationship. I do not believe that Damon has forgotten about me. He has always loved me, and he will always love me."Everything is set up. Here is the lingerie I promised you. You'd better go and get dressed. We are getting lost because we don't want Damon to find us here. The rest is up to you.

Damon’s POVThe moment I see her standing in the doorway, my chest tightens, a familiar tension winding like a coiled spring through my shoulders, a heaviness I thought I’d left behind long ago. Mona. She is here. She has the nerve to show up in my office, in my building, in my small, carefully controlled life, and already I can feel the ripple of disruption rolling outward, touching everything I hold steady. The sunlight filtering through the blinds falls across her like a spotlight, catching the sharp angles of her face, the precise curve of her lips, the calculated gleam in her eyes, and I want nothing more than to leave, to walk away, to shut the door and pretend she isn’t here.“Damon,” she says, her voice smooth, soft, but layered with an intimacy I never invited, a familiarity I do not want. There is a thrill in it for her, I can see that, the way she tilts her head, the way her smile curves almost like a question, a challenge. The air around her smells faintly of perfume, expen

Melanie's POVI wait until I am alone and I know everybody else has gone to bed. I do not want them to know that I know Jake. I do not want Emma to hear me talking to Jake. I know she's still in love with Jake. She does not really care about Mike. I bet she only took Mike because she knew it would upset Claire. I believe her heart so belongs to Jake and she wants to be with him and not with Mike, and that is why she hates Claire so much. I don't even believe that Claire knows about it. I don't even believe that she realized that Jake was so in love with her. Somehow, I feel sorry for the little girl, but I am here to fight for the man that I want, and I am not going to let Claire Johnson stand in my way. I called Jake's number, and he answered on the first ring."Well, well, well. I was waiting for your call. If it isn't Vintage Barbie herself calling me. If you think you can come back to me. You are making a mistake. Now that your ex husband have pointed it out, I realized how plastic

Jake's POV I remember what Melanie told me. I know that Sienna was in love with me a long time ago when we were still in school. She even came to confess to me, and I told her that I would never fall in love with anyone else but Claire. I have always loved Claire. I don't know what she has seen in Mike. Mike was not even halfway as wealthy as I was, and I was much more handsome than Mike. I also do not know why Mike would leave somebody like Claire for someone like Sienna. Sienna is a spoiled brat. I do not even like her. She does not even have a personality. Everybody was feeling sorry for her when her parents died, but I knew that she would be okay. We all grew up in the little town of Willows Creek. In the sound, everybody knows everybody's business. I can see Sienna still looking at me like the little girl she was back in school. There is admiration in her eyes and lust. I don't want to touch her. I am here for Claire. Claire is pure and beautiful. I cannot let Claire marry an old
