CHAPTER NINETEEN “Are you sure that is what he said to you, mom?” Serena asked her mother for the umpteenth time unbelieving. She had come out of an argument with her sister only to hear that Damon had left with explicit warnings that she remained where she was till he called for her. “That is what he said, I have no idea where he dashed off to in such a hurry.” Her mother said.“Maybe it has something to do with father, I would just have to wait and see if he calls me before noon, if he doesn’t, I am going back to the house. Isn’t it so bold of him to to think I would heed his instructions? When have I ever given him that vibe.” She asked no one in particular.Her mother was hardly paying attention to her, she had her mind elsewhere, no doubt on the disappearance and possible kidnap of her husband. Serena felt sorry for her, she sat there so forlorn, it was difficult to bear.“If there is anyone who will definitely find father, it is Damon. Do not worry yourself so much, he wouldn
CHAPTER TWENTYI must have heard wrong, Serena thought shaking her head to clear her thoughts.No, I definitely heard wrong, there is no way I heard Damon command someone to kill my father, NO WAY!. “I thought you had left” Damon’s voice interrupted Serena’s thoughts.“Left? This is my house too Damon, incase you have failed to notice. I don’t want to ask about what I heard upstairs, it is definitely a joke right?”“It is no joke, Serena. Your father owed my family a great deal of money and he gave you to me in exchange for that, you might have thought that he would calm down and focus on his family after that but no; he went ahead to steal from my father and his associates.”“Steal? What the fuck are you talking about. My father is many things, a gambler and a liar but a thief is not one of them, how dare you?”“I wish it were untrue because as much as I want to hurt him, I don’t want anything affecting you.” Damon said calmly.Serena laughed, closing her eyes as if to ward off evi
Chapter twenty oneSerena stood in front of him, her eyes twinkling and her heart slamming frantically against her rib cage. He was looking at her like she had just sprouted a second head and he did not know what to make of that. She became uncomfortable when she could see that he was making no moves towards her, I mean she was the naked one between the both of them.“Are you drunk, Serena did you take something while I was gone?”“I know exactly what I am doing and I know how all of these might seem seeing the situation we are in… contract? How could I be talking about that at this point. I am sorry, I would get dressed immediately.”“no, I just wanted to be sure you weren’t drunk and what I am about to do is definitely consensual” he said, his hand snaking around to grab her waist.Serena gasped as his hand came around her, the protest she was just about to voice died on her lips and he bent his head till they were at eye level, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.“I am havi
CHAPTER TWENTY TWOSerena woke up feeling like an asshole, she was going to apologize to Damon for last night if she could find him. Apparently he had gone out while she had been asleep, no doubt her father had been caught and an interrogation already underway.He had touched her in ways she could only dream of being touched and he had been offended by her obvious thoughts about him.I mean wasn’t he the one who asked that a contract of consensual BDSM sex is drawn up between the both of them so how dare he act so offended by her analysis of him, Serena thought.The day was looking to be on of fruitless Ed’s and boredom and so she decided to stop by her mother’s, at least there she would not have to worry about Damon and how she was going to apologize to him and she could keep her mother company also. She had absolutely no plans to inform her of the things she had heard during Damon’s meeting, no need to rile the woman up when Damon could actually let her father go if he spoke the ab
CHAPTER TWENTY THREESerena stayed as far away from Jakes as the house could allow without it being extremely awkward and once in a while when she looked up, she caught him staring at her with some look in his eyes. He was beginning to creep her out and she could only blame it on Damon.. for God sake, she had loved the boy before Damon and the marriage and now she could not even bear to look at him after his suggestion that they went out behind the backs of her husband and her sister, his girlfriend.“Are you okay, Serena?” Her mother called, probably after observing how deep in thought she was.“I am fine mother, I was thinking of the whole situation, you know. How are you feeling? Were you able to get a little sleep last night?”“I tried but sleep wouldn’t come to me, with my husband being out there and at the mercy of kidnappers, I could hardly sleep a wink.”Serena’s left eye began twitching, it always happened when she had something to say but was trying so hard not to say anythi
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR“We are here but I must warn you that he is in a meeting and would not like to be disturbed.” Santos told a fuming Serena.“Keep your warnings to yourself, Santos. I do not care what he is in right now, I am going to kill him.”Santos looked at her like she was a deranged woman, she was sure he had no idea what she was going on about and with how relaxed he was, he already gauged that she won’t be able to life a finger before Damon buried her with bullets.“Lead the way” Serena tapped her foot after getting out and seeing that Santos was still seated in the car.He got down, looked her over on last time, resisted the urge to shake his head at the mad woman his boss had been forced to marry and the entered the office building with Serena in tow.Damon had no idea of their visit, Serena made sure of that. She was dying to see the look of surprise on his face before she began pelting him with blows for failing to mention that he knew of her mother’s involvement in the
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE“Should we be doing this here” Serena gasped as Damon removed flipped down her dress, letting it pool around her legs.“Are you cold” he asked, his voice clogged.“Yes” Serena responded.Goosebump were already coating her arm as a result of the air conditioning in the office.“Good, I am the only one that can make you hot now.” He said grinning devilishly.Warmth flooded Serena’s veins at his words, he did have a way with words. Saying things that could set her on fire one minute and then make her cold like she had just been outside and was drenched in rain.“Don’t you have work to do?” Serena asked as Damon carried her and placed on his table, sending everything on it to the ground.“I do and that is making you orgasm three times in succession.” He said kneeling and parting her legs to reveal white panties.“You always wear white, it drives me crazy.” He groaned at the sight of her pussy in white lace.Serena did not respond, she could hardly breathe. They stayed
CHAPTER TWENTY SIXSerena found the table quite uncomfortable and so she slept on the couch in Damon’s office, smiling all the way as she did so, or at least that was what he had told her when she woke.Damon watched her sleep, her mouth slightly open and her hair a beautiful red mess, she looked like a goddess even as she slept.MINE… his heart constricted painfully. Was he in love with her, is that the reason he was here right now watching her sleep and loving the way her lips curved in her sleep as if she was dreaming of something funny or the way he had been angry the previous day at her ridiculous attempt at seduction when she could have just talked to him about whatever. He was in love with her or at the very least, he cared a lot about her.“now who is the creepy one?” Serena said asked with laughter in her voice as she opened her eyes and focused on Damon’s face“I am merely paying back in your own coin for always watching me sleep.” Damon responded, brushing the strands o
