Novel & Cerita Damon Salvatore Rule Number 34

"Vivian, Ethan couldn't close the deal with the client, but I handled it without breaking a sweat. You have to reward me—don't make me work for free like him!" "Excellent! Here's your reward!" Vivian rose on her toes and locked lips with Lesley in a passionate kiss right there in front of everyone. Then she turned her gaze toward me—naked, beaten, coughing up blood. Her eyes were filled with contempt. "Completely useless. Make that ten thousand last—it should cover you for the rest of your life." I suddenly looked up at her and smiled. Vivian hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by how calmly I accepted it, then let out an awkward snort.

"Look at us when we speak to you. That's the first rule." Eve's pulse jumped, but she met his gaze. "I didn't know there were rules beyond the contract." "There are always rules," Damian said. "You'll learn them. Some through instruction. Some through experience." Damon was behind her now...she felt his heat against her back, his breath on her neck. "First lesson, little dancer. When we ask you a question, you answer truthfully. Always." His hand settled on her hip, possessive and firm. Eve's entire body went rigid.

"Struggle with what, exactly?" Damon looked at me for a long moment, something unusually unguarded crossing his face before he answered. "Professional distance," he said. "Given everything else happening this week — the prophecy, Constance's warnings, my own better judgment — I've been trying very hard to remember why that rule existed in the first place." My pulse did something complicated. "And? Have you remembered?" "No," he admitted. "I've mostly just remembered that I made the rule myself, which means I'm also the only person who can decide it's stupid."

Rule 3: 90 days. Rule 3: Gone. End

"Damien Salvatore is not a man accustomed to emotional entanglements. This arrangement may be business to him, but it's clearly something more personal to you. A lifeline." I bristled at his assessment. "I'm not some desperate damsel clinging to your boss for salvation." A hint of approval flickered across Marco's face. "Good. Keep that spirit. You'll need it." The elevator doors opened to the parking garage. "But understand this — Damien has rules, boundaries that aren't meant to be crossed. Breaking them would be... unwise." "Are you threatening me?" I asked as he led me to a sleek black SUV. "Advising," Marco corrected, opening the passenger door. "Damien values loyalty above all else. Be

I said again. “Third,” Salvatore said, his voice turning dark, “we wait for the right moment to strike. And when we do, we destroy Donovan completely.” I felt a fierce smile stretch my lips. "Yes, Alpha," I replied. Salvatore stood and descended from the throne, stopping directly before me. He looked straight into my eyes. “This is no game,” he had said. “I know.” “Lives will be lost,” he said. “I’m ready,” I said. His heavy hand landed on my shoulder.

“Dinner out here. On the balcony. It’s better company than the walls. The night is cold, and it is only a matter of time before winter hits. And normally, that might call for no more dinner in the balcony if it is snowing. I wouldn’t mind, but I am not the one who puts the rules in this place.” “At this point, I believe that you do.” He said, making me smile. For a second, I thought he might refuse, Dominic Salvatore, the Alpha who dined behind closed doors, at a table filled with silverware that he most likely didn’t even bother using… not under the stars. But then something in his face softened, almost too subtle to catch. “Dinner on the balcony,” he repeated. “You drive a hard bargain.” “

He licks it once and then a second time. I smile because Samson always calms me. "He likes the salt on your skin." Damian gives me a side look and another slight grin. "I'd like you to lick the salt from my skin, but it's not my hand that's the saltiest." Shivers run over every inch of skin on my body. "Does that line work on your other Dommes?" "I don't want to fuck the other Dommes, and I'm afraid I never mix work with pleasure. When it comes to you I seem to bend all my rules."

said Damian . " I would be only getting myself in trouble if I do that . " said Antonio . " I don't care how you behave normally but the most important rule is that you don't mess up work and always behave well when it comes to work-related stuff . As for your break or when you are not called for , you can behave and do what you want . " said Damian . At that moment Derrick entered and handed the contract to Damian so that he could check it then stepped back , near Antonio .
