Layla's POV"You-(punch) Lowlife -(punch) Piece of shit-(punch punch punch) ", Damon punched my assaulter mercilessly when he fell onto the groundMatt made his way to the other man who had pinned Quinton onto the ground before he tried to run, but Matt got to him and punched him hard on his face and abdomen while Taylor dragged the unconscious Quinton off the scene.I was laying on the ground with my vision still a little blur, but I could see Damon beating my assaulter furiously and by the pace he was going he was surely going to kill the guy as blood was already splatting in every punchI gathered some strength to crawl to them and tried separating Damon off the man, but he kept on beating him. The man groaned in pain, but Damon didn't stop."Damon, you're going to kill himPlease stop", I begged, but he didn't seem to hear or pay attention to what I was saying to him"Damon stop please", I begged again, but he kept going"Damon, that's enough", Taylor ripped him off the man, and D
Layla's POVI was still wrapped in the sheets in the morning, according to me it was a little early to get up. I couldn't sleep either, so I decided to stay in bed because a lot was on my mind.Damon walked out of the en-suite with only a white towel wrapped around his waist, water was still dripping from his body. His curly brown locks were still wet from the shower water, making him look twice as incredibly, deliciously handsome.I can't believe I just thought that....And you could see he was surprised to see me up already because he had a habit of showering early in the morning while I was still asleepI now see why ....“I didn't think you would be awake at this time”, he ran his hand in his water dripping hair, which made him look even sexier. This was the second time I saw him half naked across my innocent eyes, and he had an amazing body, to die forI'm so weak and stupidHis broad shoulders, his well-defined abs and even toned body. I was practically drooling over the sight o
Damon's POVWe got back home a few days ago, and I felt like throwing myself on the bed and sleep for the whole week, but I couldn't because my job awaited. I had been occupied with a lot of work ever since I came back, to pay for the days I had gone on the little 'vacation'.The sound of my door opening cause me to focus on it rather than the ton of paperwork I still had to go through.“Sir, Ms Crane is here to see you”, Carla stood firmly at my office doorWhat was she doing here?“Let her in”, I told her and Carla nodded her head at my request and minutes later the sound of high heels echoed towards my office. I was not very thrilled to see Ms Crane anytime soon. We ended things a few months ago, and she seemed to understand why we couldn't continue with our arrangement. I don't know why she's here.“Damon”, she said curtly as walked she closed the door behind her and walked towards me“Ms Crane”, I watched as she took a seat in front of me, titling my head to the side a little whe
Layla's POVThere were a lot of funny feelings going through my whole body all at once when Damon connected his lips with mine, making me feel things I've never felt before, but I think it had every thing to do with how he was kissing me, gently and yet very sweet. His lips were warm, minty and soft, adding just the right amount of pressure. I felt my body starting to relax a little, butterflies exploding at the pit of my stomach and I lost consciousness for a few seconds, getting lost in the moment.His hand slid across my waist, wrapping tightly around me to pick me up and placed me on top of the counter whilst not leaving my lips, just long enough until I could inhale his breath. He slipped his tounge into my mouth, exploring with urgency and I let out a soft moan, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer while digging my fingers in his hair.He groaned softly, from the back of his throat and I felt his hands travel down my body to grip lightly on my thighs before caress
Layla's POVI decided to take Troy up on his offer and call him to meet up for coffee. I stayed so long cooped up in that house I felt like the walls were driving me crazy. We were meeting up at a café that makes the most exquisite coffee downtown, Mary introduced me to this place.I ordered a latte for my morning wake-up cup as nothing jump starts my day more than coffee. I took a small sip to savor each moment the liquid danced to the back of my throat heavenly, and I closed my eyes to enjoy every second.“Still a coffee lover I see”, he jumped from behind me, and I laughed while standing on my feet to hug him“It's good to see you Lay”, he tightened his arms around me a little before we broke away from the hug and slipped into the booth opposite me“It's good to see you too”, I returned the bright smile on his face because it was honestly hard not to. “You're early, I was only expecting to see you in thirty minutes”“I didn't think I was going to find you here already, so I was wil
Layla's POV“Layla, do you know where Mary is?”, Damon asked as he was going around the house looking for something“No, have you tried checking under the table?”, I pushed my reading glasses while looking up at him, and he heaved an exaggerated sigh, causing me to laughed to myself“Does everything have to be a joke to you?”“It doesn't have to, with you around”, I took a spoonful of my delicious fruit and cream salad. “I have my hands full already”“Layla I'm serious”, he heaved yet sigh, before seeming to give up his search after turning the lounge upside down. “I'm looking for my car keys, have you by chance seen them?”“Yes I have”, I nodded my head, and he glared at me, shrugging his shoulders that I tell him where I saw them“Well?”, he put up his hands in a helpless gesture. “Aren't you going to tell me where you saw them?”“You just asked me if I've seen them by chance, not where”, I shrugged back, and he protested quietly before drawing a deep breath, exhaling sharply afterw
“If only love was enough”-Damon's POV“Damon?”, I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake, and I peeled my eyes open to see my mother kneeling next to me, looking defeated.“What did you do?”, she whispered sadly, her voice almost breaking and my eyebrows arched up in confusion“What do you mean?”, I looked over my shoulder hoping to see Layla sleeping peacefully beside me, but she wasn't, her side of the bed was wrinkled up and empty. My heart sank when I realized she was gone.“She left this morning”, my mother informed me and I jumped off the bed to the closet only to see that all her clothes were gone“Did she say where she was going?”, I reached for her phone to dial her number, it rang at first, but then it took me straight to voicemail“She went back home, to her father's house”“Mother, why didn't you wake me up? I could have stopped her”.My mother shrugged lightly. “I also didn't know, she left a note saying she needs some time to herself and that she's not sure when s
Damon's POVMy Grandfather was back home but still a little weak due to his condition. He demanded to be bought back home about a week after he regained consciousness, refusing to be kept at the hospital to die there. There was not much to be done, except to be thankful for his presence with us each day.Layla and I were there to help in taking care of him because he needed us more than anything, like I still needed him. I know he had his moments of being something else but that didn't change the fact that he my grandfather, and I was fond of him. He taught me everything I needed to know about the corporate industry and everything that is there to being a successful businessman. The truth is, I would be lost without him and the thought of him dying was too much to bear.Walking towards his room, I stopped by the door when I heard voices in the room and peeked a little to see Layla covering him with a warm blanket, while adjusting his pillows behind him. Layla was a sweet, caring and c
