Dahlia Carrington~•~As expected, I spent Christmas alone.It was boring and depressing as I spent the whole day watching Christmas movies one after the other. It was the first time I wasn’t receiving expensive presents. It was the first time I wasn’t receiving presents. Period.At the end of the day, I stared at my phone, wondering if I should call him or not. I didn’t know if we were meant to stay away from each other for the four years we wouldn’t be together. I didn’t believe in the distance making the heart grow fonder. It was all bullshit as it was only irritating me.Throwing caution to the wind, I tapped on his number, crossing my fingers when it started to ring.The call rang out.I bit down on my bottom lip and tried again, but it had the same result. I hissed in annoyance. Why was he ignoring my calls now? How was I supposed to stay in love with him if he ignored me like this? Annoyed, I called one last time, telling myself I’d never call him again if he didn’t pick up th

Damon Valentino~•~I was quite worried when Dahlia told me she was back home. From what I knew, her parents didn’t want her to go to school and I didn’t know if they would let her come back or not.I was done tying all the loose ends at my job and I landed another job at a private university. I’d gotten it a week after applying because luckily for me, they were looking for a new Philosophy lecturer after the last one quit. It was like the offer was dropped in my lap.My holiday was quite boring because of my strained relationship with Dahlia. I spent every waking moment thinking about the girl. It was now two days to the new year and I was certain I had sorted everything out.My parents were skeptical about me switching schools and I told them the truth; the woman I loved happened to be my student and I didn’t want us to cross as professor and student again so I had to quit. My brothers applauded me for the bold move while Juan just called me a simp.I didn’t mind.Laying in my child

Dahlia Carrington~•~“Don’t look so shocked.” Damon laughed. “It was bound to happen anyway.”“I don’t want you to quit because of me.”He snorted. “Who said I quit because of you? I quit because I’m a selfish bastard who can’t keep his hands off of you.” He said, wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me closer to him.I looked up at him. “What are you going to do now?”I felt bad. Even if he did it for himself, it was because I was in the picture. He was sacrificing his job to be with me. “I’m not jobless. I already have a new job.”“Are you fucking serious?”Another chuckle escaped his lips. “You have such a dirty mouth.”I grinned. “Why don’t you make me do better?”He spanked my ass and I let out a yelp, not expecting it. “I have a job at a private university that has been in existence for like five years. They needed a professor and I happened to be one.” He told me as one of his hands traveled to my front, brushing my nipples against the tight material of my top. The b

Dahlia Carrington~•~The rest of the holiday went smoothly.Damon promised my father he was going to link him up with his brothers and my father didn’t care if I slept at home or with Damon in his hotel. I spent half of the week in the hotel with him and the other half was spent out with him. I was barely home but I managed to sleep in the house three nights out of the seven nights left. I didn’t want my parents to think I was obsessed with the man.When the time came for me to go back to school, my parents had completely opened up to the idea. As long as I was with Damon and Damon had connections that could bring them multimillion-dollar deals, they didn’t care.I was busy packing for school when my father came into my room. For a second, I wondered if he had changed his mind and wanted me to stay at home, but then he said, “You created a new bank account when you left, right? Send me your bank information.”I nodded. I was all about making my own money but no way in hell was I goin

Dahlia Carrington ~•~My second semester was going a lot smoother than my first. All rumors about me had died down and people would rather talk about what they did on their holiday than some random girl in psychology.I had seen Roman only once since I came back and it seemed like he had finally given up. He did tell me he had something to tell me about the rumors last year but I didn’t give him a listening ear. I wasn’t interested in anything he had to say when our last encounter ended up with him choking me right before my exams.It was a bummer not being able to see Damon at school anymore though, but it was a good thing since we didn’t have to be so secretive anymore. We could finally go on dates and not be scared about someone seeing us. We could finally stop tiptoeing in a city as large as New York. “Where are you guys going?” Aurelie asked me on a Friday afternoon. I had the whole day off from school and luckily, so did Damon. Since he was busy settling into the new college, w
