Damon grabbed Arabella's hand and pulled her body close to his. The impact was entirely emotional, like a meeting of souls. Then, he held the woman's slim waist and placed her on one of the cars parked in the narrow alley. All with admirable effortlessness.She had a moment of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by the sensation of Damon's lips pressing against hers. Arabella did not recoil, nor did she consider it. She simply parted her legs, creating the perfect space for Damon to be between them. And that's what he did.The man's hands were everywhere but stayed nowhere. Damon tightened his grip on Arabella's waist, traced her legs, caressed her skin, lifted her dress.In turn, Arabella ran her fingers through his hair effortlessly. It wasn't like they were in a dark street when they deepened the kiss. Their tongues intertwined, flavors mingled, desires unfolded, and senses mirrored each other.Arabella might think she was just another woman passing through Damon's life, but she
The day began in Damon's office as soon as the first ray of sunlight painted the sky. The man sat behind his desk, working diligently, but his mind was elsewhere. He recalled the events of the previous night, how he had seen Arabella on the dance floor, looking stunning, how he had felt anger at the man touching her, how he had felt desire kissing her...And then, he felt a chill run down his spine as he remembered her words, declaring that their one-night affair had come to an end. Damon had never been rejected before. All women seemed to willingly succumb to his charm.So why not Arabella? Was it because of Mason Donovan?Banks was still behind his desk, working as diligently as he could on a typical day, when he received a call from his secretary."Mr. Banks, Spencer Davis is here to see you," the woman informed him.Spencer Davis was a detective who had been tailing Damon for years. Davis was well-known in the city for investigating large fortunes. This wasn't Spencer's first vi
The meeting continued with the director presenting more about the production project, Arabella silently staring at Damon, and Damon annoyed with everything and everyone."And the engineers will meet tomorrow to finalize the production project. Arabella Collins will also be present at the meeting," the director said. "We will present the final version in 3 days at the latest," he concluded."You have 2 days," Damon's words came out with his deep, gravelly voice."Of course, sir," the director nodded like a obedient puppy. "Now, I need to talk about..." the director continued prattling on.Damon felt his phone buzz in his pocket, retrieved the device, and saw a message from a friend inviting him to dinner. After the disappointment with Arabella, he really needed a distraction.As Damon's gaze lifted, it collided with the captivating depth of Arabella's large, dark eyes, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through him. For a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still as their eyes lo
The man's tranquil face showed that he was in a moment of relaxation, far from all the power that surrounded him at other times."Hi," Arabella felt she should say something. In fact, she could barely take her eyes off his face. "Hi, Arabella," his husky voice thundered, as if they were in the midst of a storm. Arabella grew weak in the same second, and her legs needed a lot of effort not to fail her.Damon leaned against the doorframe and crossed his arms. He had enough experience with women to know that his body was a charm difficult to quench. The man observed the woman at his door. A woman of medium stature and stratospheric beauty."I would like to apologize for earlier. I shouldn't have thrown myself at you," she regained her posture, just not to seem completely shaken while he was perfectly fine, in the center of his own universe.Damon stepped away from the doorframe, making room for the pretty to enter his dimly lit apartment. She walked into the space, the living room, an
He knelt between her legs, and in that moment, Arabella felt like the most powerful woman in the world, for Banks was on his knees before her. And he was, in every possible way.Damon's fingers traced the delicate fabric of Arabella's lace panties and pulled them down her legs. It did not take long for her to be naked.Having Arabella the way he wanted, the way he had dreamed for several days, the way he fantasized in the shower and during lonely nights, Damon leaned in. His face was positioned between the woman's legs, and Arabella placed them over the man's broad shoulders."You have no idea how much I've longed to taste you again, Principessa."The instant his tongue found the woman's moisture, pure moans were heard. That sound was like gasoline for the man's hunger, which was summed up in flames.He could not believe that someone could be so beautiful. But she could, even more so without her clothes. Every detail of Arabella was important, memorable, praiseworthy. The well-defined
But it did not happen. Arabella could not bring herself to feel bad for what she had done.She knew she was taking more risks than she should, and that if Mason found out, he would make her suffer even more. But that wasn't enough to make her regret having another night with Banks.The beautiful woman lazily opened her eyes, looking around to find something familiar. It did not take long for her to spot Damon Banks in the bathroom. The glass walls allowed her to see him in full, every part of his body sculpted by gods. He was facing her, his eyes closed as he used both hands to rinse the shampoo from his hair.Arabella admired that enviable sight. Indeed, it would be a good painting if there were an artist in front of him. It was also a fact that moments before, Damon had been beside her in bed, admiring her details and thinking about how beautiful she was. It wasn't about feelings, just physical attraction. Arabella Collins was a sculptural woman, not admiring her would be astonis
Ana nodded solemnly. "It seems like he returned earlier."Arabella could not shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach. But before she could utter another word, the door swung open once more, announcing Mason's entrance."Leave," he ordered Ana with a curt nod."Excuse me," Anastasia hastily exited the room, her departure almost frantic.Arabella rose from her seat, a mix of apprehension and anticipation swirling within her. She half-expected Mason to stride over to her, to confront her with his demanding presence. But he chose another path, one that led him away from her, towards the liquor cabinet. Despite the early hour, he poured himself a drink with practiced ease, the clinking of ice against glass echoing in the tense silence of the room."I am back, wife. Aren't you going to come to me and suck my fucking cock?" he chuckled morbidly. Arabella remained silent. "My mother is being buried today, thanks for asking," he continued."Do you want me to go to
As husband and wife stepped through The Cosmopolitan's doors, they became the center of attention. It was a dinner in support of a charity auction, with a master of ceremonies guiding the event on stage, but that did not stop people from diverting their gaze to Miss Collins as she passed by.The place exuded wealth, a lot of wealth. Everyone there seemed gilded, each one more powerful than the other. The glasses in graceful hands, the million-dollar heels, the tailor-made suits, the displayed jewels; how fortune seemed so commonplace."This way," Mason said, leading his wife to the table near the stage. He loved the way everyone looked at him with envy.On the table were napkins embroidered with the guests' names. Arabella sat beside Mason, as the seating arrangement suggested. The master of ceremonies was presenting a Renaissance painting before the guests could start bidding. The tables had their respective plaques for guests to place their bids."What is the cause of this event?
