Damien's POV; She was red as beet and it was a hilarious sight. She rushed out of the bathroom in haste. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me even as I wiped my head with the other. "Why are you running away?" I asked as I came out and saw her pacing the room. "Are you seriously asking me that?" She asked me still blushing furiously. "Yes I am." "Really, Damien?" I shrugged, pretending to be oblivious. "Would you help me with applying my lotion?" "Don't push it, Kingston." She glared at me and marched out of the room. I chuckled. *** Only two days in and I was making immense progress. I just needed to recover properly so I could execute my other plans. I love this woman and I'm not letting her go no matter what she thinks. I looked at the time. It was past time for me to take my medication and Ariana wasn't anywhere in sight. I picked up my phone to call her and it rang for a while but she did not pick up. I called over and over again until it totaled ten missed cal

"Damien?" I tapped on his bicep continuously as he slept. I had tossed and turned on the bed up until it was midnight and I couldn't take it anymore. The face of that woman had been plaguing my mind especially after Damien had given me the cold shoulder all day. "Damien!" I whisper yelled, shoving him a little bit. Damien was a light sleeper so he was supposed to have come awake by now unless, of course, he was ignoring me. "What is it Ariana?" He asked groggily. Ariana? Not babe? Oh hell no! I won't take it! "We need to talk." I coldly muttered. "About what?" He sounded whiny. "Sit up. It's imperative that we talk about this, right now!" I practically ordered and he slowly sat up muttering something about me not letting him sleep when he needed all the rest he could get. I ignored him and went ahead to speak after putting on the bed lamp so I could see him better. "Who's Daisy?" I asked seriously. "Huh?" His brows furrowed in question. "Why are you asking?" He asked back. "

Damien's POV; Dinner was eventful. The way I poured my feelings into those statements was something I never thought would happen, especially not in that manner. I was relieved now that she had heard how I felt but I didn't know if I had made things right or just worsened it all. It was tiring to think about. I turned at the sound of loud laughter. It was the cheerful laughter of all the women that mattered in my life. They all seemed to be gushing over Tracy's baby bump. She was due in some weeks and that excited each and everyone especially my mother who had been pushing for a grandchild for a pretty long time. I was thankful that Tracy had relieved me of the burden. I glanced at Ariana, briefly eyeing her outfit that showed off so much class. Looking at her, not just any man could walk up to her in a bid to shoot his shot. He had to think deeply before making that move. Almost as if she felt my gaze on her, she looked up and I instinctively directed my eyes away from her before

Damien's POV; Ariana was out like a light by the time we got home. As usual, I carried her into the house. "Hey mum." I said as she walked towards us. "Hey sweetie, seemed like you had lots of fun today." "Is it that obvious?" I asked in amusement. "You're smiling and you have cotton candy in your hair, what other pointer is there?" She deadpanned. She sighed and gave me a watery smile. "You look so happy." "I have my wife with me, of course I'm happy." I raised the sleeping beauty up a little bit and puffed at the weight. I chuckled and she joined in. "I'm glad you're." "See you guys later and for goodness sake, Damien use the lift!" She exclaimed. I chuckled deeply. Of course the lift had always been there but I preferred climbing the stairs for the sake of exercise. Ariana probably thought it wasn't functional so she always used the stairs with me while everyone else used it whenever they wanted to come up to see me. Lazy people. "See you later mom." I got into the lift

Damien's POV; Last night was another one of our many firsts. The way her body reacted to my touch was one of the sexiest things to watch. If I had acted on my will, I would have taken her there and then especially after what she had blurted out but then I knew my baby wasn't ready for that step. We had to slowly get there by forming a stronger bond. I wanted our first time together to be special. It had to be worth the wait. "Good morning." I heard her say groggily. "Morning babe. Slept well?" My thumb lightly brushed over her face. She blushed and sat up, adjusting the blanket over her chest area. "I did. You ready for work?" "Yup. What's your day going to be like?" I asked, adjusting the cufflinks on my wrist. "I'm heading to check out some restaurant spaces today." She announced. "Oh wow that's cool. Call me if you need anything, okay?" "Sure thing. You're not waiting for breakfast?" She asked. "Nah, I'll see you later." I kissed her goodbye. "Have a nice day!" She holle
