Midnight Phantom Chapter 121: Golden Ink
[Cara] It’s been three months now, yet instead of waking up with the sound of my alarm clock, I jolted up on my bed, screaming bloody murder. I’ve been taking meds, helping me with my anxiety and melatonin. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.For the past couple of hours, I’ve been standing naked in front of the mirror inside my bathroom, staring at my reflection, counting each fading scar marred on my skin, especially the one on my side. The deepest and the most pronounced of them all. I’ve been back in my apartment since Burson had already been cared for. I see no reason not to stay in my place where I could be at peace in living alone.Mom, of course, protested at the thought of it, but she got no choice, and no, I refused to get medical attention to see a psychiatrist. I don’t want some stranger peering into the worst part of my life and opening the wound I’ve been working so hard to bandage shut.Well, except for Nancy. She agreed with her mom to get to a psychiatris
Midnight Phantom Chapter 122: Gross
[Cara]“Fucking no!” I blustered out in stupefaction, seething that he hadn’t even consulted me first before planning this out.Did he ever stop and consider what I said in this? If I was okay? Does he not know the struggle I’ve been coping with?Why does he have to be so selfish?I stared down at the paper, glaring at it so feverishly, hoping that I would be able to incinerate it and combust it into flames with my stare.This cretin thought it would be a good idea to arrange an engagement ball for the two of us, despite the fact that my panic attack was already severe enough when people approached me from a close distance. And yet, here I am, thinking I was the one who has gone to madness when in fact, this bastard right here is even more insane than me.“Are you fucking out of your mind?” Exasperation drawled in my voice as I threw my hands in the air, kicked the chair behind me, and paced back to the glass window, needing to breathe without his presence suffocating my senses.The d
Midnight Phantom Chapter 123: Lethargy
[Cara]I was seething the entire time I listened to the speaker at our conference. My mind reeled at the thought of going commando underneath my skirt while my panty was stuffed inside Damon’s pocket. My cheeks were still flushed with shame and titillation about earlier encounters, jarring my brain at the moment.The cretin perfected the smug look on his face, smirking the whole time like an idiot. He sat away across the table from me and did not even spare me a glance as though nothing had happened. If there were no other people in this room, I would have thrown myself to him, gauged his eyeballs out, and shoved them into his throat. You have no idea how infuriating this is to sit and can do nothing about it.“Miss Cara, do you have any input about the expansion proposal?”I was snapped out of my internal fuming when the presenter suddenly called my attention. My eyes quickly skimmed the projected slides on the whiteboard, analyzing the skewed data and charts, but unfortunately, my
Midnight Phantom Chapter 124: Back Again
[3rd POV—Damon]***Three months earlier***“You think you’ve won, huh?” Burson snickered, his words slurred almost incoherently as some of his teeth went missing, and a thick trail of blood spittle dribbled down his chin.Damon didn’t say anything. Instead, he only stared blankly at the old man. It has been hours since he left the hospital. After making sure that Cara’s condition had been stabilized and her wound had been treated well, Damon immediately went back to his mansion to take care of some unfinished business with this mother fucker.“Let me tell you something, boy, and listen well.” Burson drawled, goading him with his bloodied sneer. “Killing me isn’t going to be the end. It’s just the beginning of everything.”Damon sighed, ejecting the magazine, the emptied magazine on his gun.Somehow, Burson is quite an obstinate man for an older person. Even though he already had three of his fingers snapped broken, his jaw dislocated, his nose crooked into an awkward bent, and his fac
Midnight Phantom Chapter 125: Pleasure Filled
[3rd POV—Damon]Clearly, Damon is getting crazy being this close to her again.Her smooth silken skin slides underneath the pads of his fingers. Tracing the delectable cleft of her slit.His impulses screamed at him to unbuckle his belt and pull out his cock, sinking his hardness into her warmth depth.Her flawless face rests on her pillow as her full lips are parted slightly in sleep. Her dark hair is spread out on her pillow, and Damon stays still, feeling her wetness while watching her sink into her dreamless slumber.Damon selfishly wonders if she’s thinking of him, and he doesn’t care if she is murdering him in her sleep. As if to prove how her body is so in tune with his, he flicks her wet cleft. Her body quickly responds with slight lists and moans, mumbling like calling someone.“Oh, so lovely.” He whispered, leaning close to her cheek and kissing the corner of her lips.He maybe had a drink, a couple glasses of scotch, but it sounded like she said his name. He climbed into th
Midnight Phantom Chapter 126: Worthy
[Cara] I wake up with a pleasant ache between my legs, and the events of the previous night keep playing through my mind about a shadow of a man emerging from the dark corners of my room. Recovering my thoughts, I jolted up from my bed, disquieted at what supposedly had happened and, at the same time, surprised that I was still alive.Nevertheless, fragments of hazy recollections floated to the surface of my mind, and I recognized Damon’s devilish smile as it hovered above me, and I heard his voice murmuring softly in my ears.Fuck! What just happened?The moment I sit up, the soft fabric of my blanket slides down my torso, and the cold air from the caresses my skin induces my nipples to stand erect in response. Only I noticed I was naked.If not for the ache, I’d think it was a dream. Have I touched myself unconsciously? Must be. One I’d had many times before. Absently, I reach for him but come up with nothing. His body is no longer wrapped around mine.Okay, it was all just a dream
Midnight Phantom Chapter 127: Rollercoaster Ride
[Cara]One kiss is what it all takes before my defenses come crumbling down. As if some enormous wrecking ball had suddenly crashed through my walls and shattered me to pieces, with no prior warning, the feelings I had been attempting to suppress poured out of me like a dam giving way and releasing a flood. Damon’s mercy reduced me to nothing more than a jumbled heap of all those shards, leaving me with nothing.“We shouldn’t do this,” I whispered, unable to look him in the eyes. His lips were only a breath away, and even though we were barely kissing, I felt like already drowning.He had me last night. I was barely even conscious. It drove me mad, not because he technically ravished my body when I couldn’t do anything but sighs and moan. My frustration stems from the fact that all of the emotions that I had been working so hard to repress suddenly surfaced in such a flurry that I couldn’t contain them no more. I still haven’t gotten over that we are about to officially engage in a fe
Midnight Phantom Chapter 128: Emerald Cut
[Cara] My nerves up wracking my entire system while I stare at the woman in my reflection. I was dressed in a stunning ruby-colored gown that was encrusted with tiny diamond beads and glittered with even the slightest movement. The gown does not cover the tops of my shoulders anywhere else, but it does do so on the sides and it flows down into a delicate plunging neckline. This creates the illusion of a narrower space, which shows off the ruby piece that is attached to my belly button. It is a close fit, with only two plaits covering my breasts; however, this is accomplished without making the garment appear awkward or suggestive in any way.Traveling down my narrow waist hugged tightly. It's not decorated with anything to create a graceful, flowing look.Below the waist gown widens slightly and has a pleat style, reaching all the way down to the ground that sways in each movement I made. A see-through red lace covered my arms fully. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom, allowing f
