As Damien pulled Eden closer snaking his arm around her waist, Eden flashed him a smile showing her dimples. As if everything got blurred from the background and it were just they were there, with a soft romantic song playing somewhere, spicing the emotions in them.Being lost in each other, they continued to dance passionately. But as the song came to an end and Damien caught Eden in his arms again after swirling her around, the applaud from all around pulled them back to reality. Damien smiled at Eden only to find Martha staring at him with confusion flickering in her eyes.His smile faded away in a matter of seconds. He didn't know when he started assuming Martha as Eden. He never danced with Martha like this. Period. He never danced with her. Martha thought.Damien looked around only to find Eden walking away. Before Martha could ask her something, he left the dance floor and followed Eden. He couldn't believe all the while he was thinking about Eden as he was dancing with Marth
Moments had passed but they were still kissing each other being oblivious to everything until they were out of their breaths.Damien began to brush his lips on her jawline going down to her throat, causing Eden to arch her back.She wanted to fight back the emotions that exploded in her, got the control back, and just snap out of it already but with the electrifying sensation traveling down to her spine when Damien kissed the nape of her neck, she had already lost it.Her knees buckled as Eden felt she was going to fall on the floor only if Damien wasn't holding her.The way she trembled against his touch there, Damien knew it was her sensitive spot to turn her on. He smiled as he left a long wet kiss there, totally liking the way, she moaned his name. Eden didn't know how or when they took it to the bed with Damien on top of her.His shirt was unbuttoned, leaving his perfect abs open for her eyes to feast on. Eden never had explored a man's body but that didn’t stop her from touchi
Damien was about to knock again when Eden answered the door. Damien came into her sight looking devilishly handsome with black jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket on it. Eden couldn't help staring at him for a few moments. Damien also took her appearance in detail. She was looking so alluring for her own damn good! Damien just mentally groaned. He looked up and found her eyes still on him but she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. He wasn't being able to come up with a resolve but now seeing Eden staring at him like this, he knew what he had to do only if he wasn't so mad at her."Ready to leave?" Damien said in his as usual cold voice. Eden was pulled out of her thoughts at his voice and looked at his icy cold eyes. "Yes, Sir." She answered, thankful that she hadn't stuttered. Eden had anticipated some scenarios like Damien talking about last night or expressing his thoughts that he wanted to give them a chance or something like they had made any progress over their fake engag
Eden knew Damien wasn’t wrong when he said about her body craving his. Though she didn’t accept it, she knew he picked it all right except for the convenient thing.Nor did she expect Damien to see it in that light. But what she could expect from a player like Damien! Eden sighed with this thought. It was her fault that knowing it all along, she went down that road. For the past few days, she had been trying to talk to Damien but every time, she was in front of him, she couldn’t muster up the courage facing his cold behaviour. She wasn’t even sure why he was behaving so rudely with her than before.And now when he finally admit it himself, it hurt her even more. She wasn’t expecting to have it on her face like this. If there was anything, he was craving her body whereas she was craving for his heart more than his body. And she knew it was just out of the equation. She couldn’t help skipping the hangout with Brenda and Cassandra where she was supposed to go after office today. Instead
Eden didn't know how she found it in her to say everything straight to Damien but she was glad, she said it anyway. The possibility of Damien falling for her was near impossible though and she was well aware of that. Now he would shower her with cold words and show her her place gracefully. She thought. And she needed some of these to get back to the reality. Damien didn't do as per her anticipation, rather he stared at her. His heart stopped few beats as her words got registered in his mind. Her words were simple but frightening at the same time. He shook his head, convincing himself more than Eden that there would be no falling for each other between them. It would just be a marriage of convenience. That's all.Though Damien didn’t do anything like Eden thought, Eden got her answer in his look, in his silence. She got up with an intention to leave but she didn't even make it to few steps ahead before Damien stopped her."What are you_" Eden's words were stalled as Damien kissed her
Early in the evening when Eden got back to her place after office, it seemed strangely quiet like never before. She searched for her parents but having no sight of them, she took out her phone to call her mother as some panicky thoughts crossed her mind. But startling her, her phone started buzzing with the same number flashing on the screen. Eden answered the call without wasting another moment. "Mom, where are you and Dad? You didn't mention going out." Eden said, trying to sound normal."We are at the hospital, Eden." She tried to sound normal but the effort, she was putting in, Eden felt it all."For as usual health checkup on Dad?" Eden said, desperately hoping to hear a yes. Though she knew her father's scheduled check-up routine. It wasn't today, but still two weeks to go to be specific."Eden, Dad isn't well. I brought him to hospital.""What happened to Dad?" Eden's face turned pale as she voiced out.~~All the way the drive to the hospital, Eden felt her heart banging at
When Damien reached his cabin, his as usual coffee wasn't waiting for him. Nor his desk looked like arranged neatly. He took an overall glance at his cabin and then turned to the wall of his cabin. Eden's cabin wasn't next to his but he still stared at it wondering if she wasn't in yet. She had never been late until now. He walked to his desk and took the intercom to make a call to her. His direct phone calls and messages were getting ignored anyway. Her intercom also remained unanswered too much for his irritation. Half an hour passed but there was no sight of Eden and this time, Damien got worried. Did she decide to leave the job? Leave him altogether? Without even bothering to talk to him for once! He took the intercom and called the receptionist to know if Eden was in. Her answer disappointed him even more. He reached for his phone only to notice the text from Eden. She was asking for two days off. No, she wasn’t asking. She was just informing him that she was taking it. Who
Eden waited for a few moments as if wondering whether she was dreaming when Damien said all this. Because she had a strong belief Damien would help her anyway. She was okay with his showing her coldness but she never thought Damien would be this cruel and turn her down when she was in desperate need of money. Even if not for help, to get her because more than her, he was the desperate one to get her to agree with his terms. Or was she being delusional all this time? Damien moved his gaze from the file in his hand and turned to her, "Ms. McBride, what are you waiting for? I said out of my face. NOW." His voice had dropped a few degrees as he uttered the last word and this time, Eden realized she wasn't dreaming like she thought and left from there blinking back her tears. Her only hope was shattered. Now she would have to go back to the hospital nearly empty handed in comparison to the amount, she needed. She exited the office building. Instead of taking a cab or bus, she started
