Chapter 41 - The Hotel Room

EvelynThe kiss replayed in my head again and again as the car moved through the city, no matter how many times I tried to push the memory away. I could still feel the brief warmth of Damon's lips against mine, and every time the image returned, my stomach twisted in a way I didn't quite understand. It had only been a kiss, a ridiculously short one at that, yet somehow my mind had decided it was the most important thing that had happened all day.I stared out of the window, pretending to be fascinated by the passing buildings when, in reality, I was desperately trying to calm my racing thoughts."What are you so stressed about, darling?" Damon's voice suddenly pulled me back, and I turned too quickly, only to find him much closer than I expected.

My fingers moved quickly, tugging at the stubborn fastening, but it refused to budge. The more I struggled, the more determined I became, even though my hands were trembling and my face was burning.Damon's amusement slowly disappeared as he watched me. "What are you doing?" he asked, sounding genuinely surprised.I shot him an angry look over my shoulder. "You told me to take off my dress. I'm doing exactly what you asked."He stared at me, suddenly quiet, and I could almost see the moment he realised I wasn't joking.
