I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.465Please respect copyright.PENANAAy06JCzulA
465Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZXztdVk02
“Hey,” I breathed as soon my eyes met his tall figure. His presence somehow eased my insides. Damien frowned as he walked passed me. He studied me for a while before speaking.465Please respect copyright.PENANAWlZ7ziurDo
465Please respect copyright.PENANAhNfH4ojPBm
“Why are you really leaving?” he asked and put a cigarette between his lips. I took my eyes away from him and walked to the fridge to get the food containers, my mother instructed on taking with me. He followed me with his eyes.465Please respect copyright.PENANA4KH9CXcCaW
465Please respect copyright.PENANAHWy218Rsz8
“I talked to Cleo,” I replied; my voice low but steady. I heard him breathe out the smoke. “Why you never told me she wasn’t talking to you?” I asked and put the food containers on the kitchen counter as I turned to look at him; the hurt visible in my features and voice.465Please respect copyright.PENANAIEkn6uadNs
465Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qo8z19tob
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.465Please respect copyright.PENANAibeAKnq3zE
465Please respect copyright.PENANAwD4WTPqhhH
“I was anxious because I didn’t know what she thought about us. Well it’s obvious she made up her mind as soon as I told her!” I exclaimed.465Please respect copyright.PENANADJBCN4vtYe
465Please respect copyright.PENANAYU0q7kRN3p
“First of all,” he said and took the cigarette between his index finger and his thumb to remove it from his lips “Calm down,” he looked at me.465Please respect copyright.PENANA2fK2guG8C5
465Please respect copyright.PENANAGxSVWBlBeB
“She’s your sister!” I threw my hands in the air “I’m her best friend,” I said; my voice turning down “I can’t do that,” I winced.465Please respect copyright.PENANAxBa0i1SmRM
465Please respect copyright.PENANAdNMzc24uUc
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.465Please respect copyright.PENANAuRNqn6zKC2
465Please respect copyright.PENANAymE8ODSNMy
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”465Please respect copyright.PENANAQ81wtf4c37
465Please respect copyright.PENANAxh2P2OCVSy
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.465Please respect copyright.PENANAqQyX6HBcp2
465Please respect copyright.PENANAY6I8HbjeoF
“I know,” I said. I didn’t want to say that I’ll be back by then. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I hated leaving him behind. I took the food containers from the counter and walked out the garage and left them on the passenger’s seat.465Please respect copyright.PENANAgmVcDXvkkz
465Please respect copyright.PENANAplguVGWgsI
“Can I still call you?” he asked. I turned towards him. He looked anxious as he stood in the doorway, gazing at me with those amazing grey eyes. I couldn’t help but smile a little.465Please respect copyright.PENANAazZ6kJ4iHr
465Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmIb0bG33
“Of course,” I told him and walked up to him. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him to my level for a small kiss. A smile appeared on his lips too.465Please respect copyright.PENANAqhFJjW0cGE
465Please respect copyright.PENANAH87JCJSW2t
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.465Please respect copyright.PENANAkFyfZNTsEJ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ayktfVNx
“Leave my bug alone, Simmons,” I shook my finger into his face. He chuckled and grabbed my finger. “Ouch!” I exclaimed as he twisted it.465Please respect copyright.PENANA4fbHMRgudk
465Please respect copyright.PENANA9zr1ilfGsO
“Just a reminder,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appeared on his left cheek. I stood on my toes and put my arms around his neck again. He leaned down and touched his lips to mine, parting them and stroking my tongue with his. “Call me as soon as you get there please,” he said when he released me.465Please respect copyright.PENANAAtlwGepabJ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAPoS7yWeicb
“Okay,” I nodded and locked the door to my garage. I wasn’t planning on letting him know about what Cleo and I actually talked about.465Please respect copyright.PENANA8TjAmfTk2b

I’ve been staying with James for the past five days and been talking to Damien everyday; not at all trying to disguise the discomfort I feel. Max said that Cleo was in her room all day, pretending to study.465Please respect copyright.PENANAOCH1iTLBm6
465Please respect copyright.PENANAnDRoekDjej
I was occupying my brother’s living room pretending to do the same thing. The first night I arrived he sat me down and wanted to know why I was playing fugitive. After I explained everything, he said I was right. Kind of. He said that running away wasn’t the right move. I should have stayed there, according to my brother, and fight for the right to be with Damien. James was right and I am a coward! The fact that my confidence had abandoned me was a huge reason for my departure.465Please respect copyright.PENANAR3fooTCINV
465Please respect copyright.PENANAvid7pqtWxS
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.465Please respect copyright.PENANAlYr3sRVgxJ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAybTRG1JNDR
“I don’t know,” I replied “It’s nice out here,” I lied. Damien scoffed. “Cleo hasn’t even tried to contact me,” I mumbled defeated and he sighed.465Please respect copyright.PENANAXsMZaY14gX
465Please respect copyright.PENANAomvTFGE0rr
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.465Please respect copyright.PENANA4GbuLG1Vdo
465Please respect copyright.PENANAE9LdoBJyXl
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.465Please respect copyright.PENANAFKS1uPvqZt
465Please respect copyright.PENANA9h7MRw792H
“Ladybug, I’m gonna kick your ass!” he exclaimed. I jumped up from the sudden change in his voice. “Either you want us to talk or not!”465Please respect copyright.PENANAl8j9YQgRmj
465Please respect copyright.PENANAFput4uogrq
“Yes! Talk! Not fight!” I argued. Damien groaned impatiently. I exhaled and fell back to the couch. “I would appreciate it if you solve this,” I breathed “For now, the only thing I can do is disappear from your life for a while,” I mumbled.465Please respect copyright.PENANAadvmMNm7Ub
465Please respect copyright.PENANAZOnJJ9YymW
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.465Please respect copyright.PENANAsAcIp2KCU8
465Please respect copyright.PENANAOgLlHyalyk
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.465Please respect copyright.PENANAAIicW1d7NV
465Please respect copyright.PENANAuSDMeUuhrq
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.465Please respect copyright.PENANAUsEZxsBAIj
465Please respect copyright.PENANAbOjcMYH87s
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.465Please respect copyright.PENANAAfdIpXkvVB
465Please respect copyright.PENANAA8ZTr25hjA
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.465Please respect copyright.PENANATU3CFAHs7h
465Please respect copyright.PENANAxZFyGxYOAZ
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!465Please respect copyright.PENANAroJRyz9GhA
465Please respect copyright.PENANAsCK17nS8Ot
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.465Please respect copyright.PENANARwjK5BSRax
465Please respect copyright.PENANAvQMKJZepxI
“What’s with you today?” I groaned “I’ll try and go to the supermarket tomorrow because James says that I’ll ruin his couch if I stay on it a bit longer,” I heard him sighing impatiently “So, call me when you’re near, to give you directions,” I said.465Please respect copyright.PENANAVNO5Ix6fVl
465Please respect copyright.PENANAiJi9Xh52J4
“Okay,” he said and I wish I could see that goofy smile of his face that always made me giggle. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”465Please respect copyright.PENANAMcuzkb7uhk
465Please respect copyright.PENANAIitnPrDgFL
We hang up the phone and I left the device on the coffee table. I snuggled up in my blankets and cried myself to sleep like I did for the past five days I was away. It hurt that I couldn’t enjoy being with him. I had a feeling that it would end soon. If only I could relax and enjoy this while it lasted.465Please respect copyright.PENANAVUqhjoHaMj
465Please respect copyright.PENANANcGUlr7x88
But, it’s already been a month. Maybe this was it. I was scared that when I’d see him I’d talk about what Cleo had said and that it would be the end of us. I knew that he wasn’t a relationship guy right from the start. But why do I get myself into situations like this all the time?465Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPqk1MFon
465Please respect copyright.PENANABSsG1R6ANd
I wasn’t good enough for him but he wouldn’t stay with me long enough to find out, so I guess that was a good thing? Then why was he always saying that he wouldn’t leave me?465Please respect copyright.PENANASI9fqsTXRt
465Please respect copyright.PENANARVxK74mFbL
I was going insane; overthinking and overanalyzing.465Please respect copyright.PENANACCGoyeEMYs

Damien wanted to go out for dinner instead of just staying in, so we had arrange to pick me up and maybe later come back to James apartment. It was so nice seeing him after six days. It was the longest time we’ve been apart since we got together. Even before that, I would see him every two days. Thankfully my mood was good, unlike all the previous days, because I was excited to see him.465Please respect copyright.PENANANEQtSp0fQT
465Please respect copyright.PENANASpLVVTZLff
I was waiting for him outside James building and first saw him when I got in the car. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as I rushed in the car because he couldn’t park his M6 on the sidewalk.465Please respect copyright.PENANA8jcKRTdifs
465Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3wl80Ieg
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.465Please respect copyright.PENANAgKgPFgLpBK
465Please respect copyright.PENANA1But3Fl3hq
“No, I was just passing by,” he mocked but kept a straight face. I scoffed and turned forward again. I changed the radio station and sat back on my seat. We pretended to ignore each other, though I could see his smirk as he drove.465Please respect copyright.PENANA1qCI4z1M9E
465Please respect copyright.PENANAAGib7RSDXM
Once he parked the car in the restaurant parking lot, I got out and waited to meet him behind the car. He walked up to me, a smirk on his lips. The small dimple on his left cheek made me narrow my eyes instead of giggling. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me close.465Please respect copyright.PENANA8PCsLpHQb5
465Please respect copyright.PENANAXnpnB8i3sr
“Don’t I get a kiss?”465Please respect copyright.PENANA2aFCyzWINI
465Please respect copyright.PENANAoOcJ4jbWim
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.465Please respect copyright.PENANAUpmIJsT17Q
465Please respect copyright.PENANA4g2XNRPchv
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.465Please respect copyright.PENANAIgeaLda4Jn
465Please respect copyright.PENANAYdTMy60K6F
He put his palms against my cheeks and pulled me in for a kiss. As soon as our lips met, my hands shot up around his wide shoulders and pulled him closer. I parted my lips and cupped his full top lip before he pushed his tongue into my mouth. A soft moan escaped my lips as he deepened the kiss and pulled me tightly against his body. I breathed through my nose but the oxygen wasn’t enough and I had to pull away from him. I traced his unshaved face and smiled.465Please respect copyright.PENANAJBN7Up7T1M
465Please respect copyright.PENANAZyohqAcsC7
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.465Please respect copyright.PENANAYexIfepWMY
465Please respect copyright.PENANAheZcDNzb4b
“Then I’m not coming back,” I grinned “I like you like this,” I raised my eyebrows and my grin turned into a smirk. “It suits you.” He smiled and kissed me once again.465Please respect copyright.PENANAFPuX1PcEL1

Several times during dinner I caught myself being more quiet than usual; silently worrying if this was right or not. I was okay when I first saw him but every minute I spend inside my head was driving me straight into depression. Lately I was feeling closer to Damien and I slowly started opening up to him and then Cleo said all those things to me. It made me doubt everything. I felt scared again.465Please respect copyright.PENANAQsDDHNu7jl
465Please respect copyright.PENANAiyZCWLaxgt
«“You’ll get hurt! He’s always between relationships. Never stayed with one girl for too long! I’m not enough for him. He’s not for you! I’ll never be enough,» Her words and mine mixed together in my head pushing me under and under.465Please respect copyright.PENANA3bm3eSEQya
465Please respect copyright.PENANA6n1kh2Y0Bx
“Apparently this was a bad idea,” I heard Damien mumbling from next to me as he sipped his drink. I frowned and turned towards him.465Please respect copyright.PENANAzIwPsC8oG5
465Please respect copyright.PENANAfDYlsRq73X
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.465Please respect copyright.PENANAsTbpsZrj8E
465Please respect copyright.PENANAHODyGBvzdw
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.465Please respect copyright.PENANAuHFoMsFyX5
465Please respect copyright.PENANAryibovBuqQ
I felt the tears swelling up inside. I bid down my lip to keep the trembling under control. I averted my eyes and exhaled. He put his hand over mine and squished it. I was tensed and feeling uncomfortable. I heard him exhaling before retrieving his hand. I left mine where it was, longing for his touch. But I was too numb to ask for it.465Please respect copyright.PENANAMQSTOzUCgs
465Please respect copyright.PENANAmzn43LmRuc
“Ready to take you back?” he asked. His voice sounded lighter like he wanted to show me that it was a random question; that it had nothing to do with the fact I was so quiet. I thought that he might have wanted to go for a drink or at least come up to James place.465Please respect copyright.PENANAaga3U3pj9x
465Please respect copyright.PENANA0m7jHtHGJW
“Yeah,” I replied.465Please respect copyright.PENANAC5i9pWtY1o
465Please respect copyright.PENANA5mkccUscfv
James told me that he would stay at one of his friend’s house tonight so if I wanted, I could tell Damien to stay over. I was a little scared to ask because I wasn’t ready for rejection, but I had missed him so much.465Please respect copyright.PENANATpkWI5kIa4
465Please respect copyright.PENANAyHr0mtpbqm
“Do you want to come up?” I found the courage to ask, my voice almost a whisper, as he stopped the car in front of James building.465Please respect copyright.PENANAPVcdtmAn3O
465Please respect copyright.PENANAQKDWfNBQEV
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.465Please respect copyright.PENANAXhfJDWkEho
465Please respect copyright.PENANA04eOzHGVns
“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.465Please respect copyright.PENANAmsJdDtE6iV
465Please respect copyright.PENANAnwGHMfAJUd
“What about your brother?”465Please respect copyright.PENANAWZEGXm5MRB
465Please respect copyright.PENANAJGuroz2msg
“He’ll stay with a friend,” I replied “And you could park in his place,” I said and opened the door “But don’t be forced into anything. Goodnight,” I blurt aggravated as I got out of the car and closed the door behind me.465Please respect copyright.PENANAeYgSUMCxgp
465Please respect copyright.PENANAEabEyJIlhG
I didn’t hear the car engine shutting down or fainting away. Instead I heard the car moving slowly until I saw the black M6 turning into the building’s parking lot. He stopped next me as I walked towards the building door.465Please respect copyright.PENANAznqI8N0BmQ
465Please respect copyright.PENANA2WlHoYZB8M
“Are you going to point out his space?” Damien asked me from inside the car. I bid my lower lip and got inside the car again.465Please respect copyright.PENANAP9TVLKMBwA
465Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Mi1rrOXf
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.465Please respect copyright.PENANAR6xMOn18ZT
465Please respect copyright.PENANAtaXW7n8PXZ
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.465Please respect copyright.PENANAWr1WTvg0pB
465Please respect copyright.PENANAGlEFerP6ZD
“Yeah, I remove the cushions to have more room,” I smiled back. It was clear he was trying to break the ice. “Do you mind if I change clothes?” I winced.465Please respect copyright.PENANAJAqwDDHZBJ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAb5t2VgFjYe
“Ladybug, I have seen you in your pajamas more times than I have seen you in actual clothes,” Damien chuckled and shook his head. Indeed it was a weird question to ask.465Please respect copyright.PENANAh15FjxOMFc
465Please respect copyright.PENANAKUCtPvxb6f
I chuckled too as I walked to the closet behind the apartment door and fished for the t-shirt and pajama bottoms I was wearing at home. I left them on top of the pile of the folded clothes that were inside the closet and removed my jeans and top. Right when I had my pajama pants in my hands, a set of warm hands were around my body; a set of lips against my shoulder.465Please respect copyright.PENANAuv7r4IhRUt
465Please respect copyright.PENANACSpktx8s7j
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.465Please respect copyright.PENANA0bWWNXaMz8
465Please respect copyright.PENANA72K3HisbtG
“You were in a hurry to leave,” I pointed out. He sighed and turned me towards him. He cupped my face and looked at me with his piercing gray eyes before cupping my lips with his own. I moved my lips against his softly before parting them and seek for his tongue. I put my hands under his t-shirt and traced his warm skin.465Please respect copyright.PENANAVZa6gOB5dn
465Please respect copyright.PENANAZqfJbBF25l
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.465Please respect copyright.PENANAmgCS3XNFHU
465Please respect copyright.PENANA0WgX6irSlQ
“Me too,” he replied and nibbled my skin; a soft moan escaped my throat. He squished my butt and led me towards the couch. As my legs hit the furniture I pushed him lightly back.465Please respect copyright.PENANACmUhfaTm36
465Please respect copyright.PENANAhVprsealYA
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.465Please respect copyright.PENANAh3mw98vNPB

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.465Please respect copyright.PENANAieIC8uiY3E
465Please respect copyright.PENANAc6PST2Nq4p
“Wait,” I said and took the sheet that was folded at the end of the couch and put it over the furniture. I didn’t want to have to explain to my brother how his couch got ruined. Damien laughed as he moved himself behind me; now squishing my sides. I turned towards him and kissed him again as he pushed me backwards against the cushions.465Please respect copyright.PENANAdWGW2TsVac

My head was against his shoulder as I stroked his chest underneath the blankets. His smell intoxicating me as his arm was around my body, keeping me close and he traced my back. I could stay like this forever.465Please respect copyright.PENANASW9OLJA0bf
465Please respect copyright.PENANApQSuVlUahx
Only when I was almost asleep those kinds of thoughts would escape the back of my mind. Damien shifted in order to take the pack of cigarettes from the coffee table. He took a cigar from the pack and I felt him as he turned his head away from me to lid on the cigarette.465Please respect copyright.PENANAcpVDDdZ3bR
465Please respect copyright.PENANA7WVEQneuZg
“I’ve got a job offer,” he said as he inhaled from his cigarette. I shifted in his arms in order to look at him.465Please respect copyright.PENANAjwOidXie8O
465Please respect copyright.PENANAWu5nR7NwTK
“That’s nice,” I smiled. “Though I didn’t know you wanted to leave your fathers company right now,” I frowned lightly.465Please respect copyright.PENANAOwLVPU6cCv
465Please respect copyright.PENANA20q1yymvCw
“I didn’t. But it’s exactly what I want to do my Phd on,” he explained.465Please respect copyright.PENANAFJKWUy0DrQ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAAeV8VeRpp4
“I almost forgot you’re about to become a Dr.,” I mocked and he furrowed his lips at me. “That’s amazing,” I smiled happily. It was great that he was offered a job to do exactly what he wanted.465Please respect copyright.PENANAGxKOuzQ5hT
465Please respect copyright.PENANAWjGmbNWlYH
“Yeah,” he breathed and exhaled a cloud of smoke.465Please respect copyright.PENANAo74IKpUnGF
465Please respect copyright.PENANAfIYNMTx5bZ
“What’s wrong?” I frowned and rested my weight on my elbow to look at him better. Damien frowned. He run his fingers through his messy brown hair and exhaled.465Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Awhmaz95
465Please respect copyright.PENANAQwfRNIfzxG
“The job is back in Italy,” he explained as he turned his eyes back to mine. I blinked.465Please respect copyright.PENANAG3llvI2nwM
465Please respect copyright.PENANAHcMxtD5TEW
“Oh,” was all I managed to voice. I licked my lips and breathed. What that meant for us? Did he mean that we were breaking up? I gathered my thoughts and took a deep breath.465Please respect copyright.PENANAk419vwhzep
465Please respect copyright.PENANAcbC2wqT2Jy
“Say something,” he whispered.465Please respect copyright.PENANAf9tAiY3GNh

“The truth. What are you thinking?” he said and stroked my cheek. I leaned against his touch.465Please respect copyright.PENANA67nv48FS19

“Is this a goodbye?” I asked in one breath, avoiding his gaze.465Please respect copyright.PENANADdGcTe5VYk
465Please respect copyright.PENANAZv5UsSsC7J
“No,” he shook his head lightly; his dark gray eyes staring back at my brown ones. I sat up and pulled the sheet with me. A piece of fabric was underneath my feet so I couldn’t pull it over my back. I groaned irritated. Damien put the cigarette between his lips and leaned towards me.465Please respect copyright.PENANAimDi6MqVgG
465Please respect copyright.PENANArKltb1StsP
“Here,” he chuckled and helped me release the sheet. I pouted frustrated and sighed as I pulled it over me. I breathed deeply once again to calm myself down.465Please respect copyright.PENANAKbfeqfLOSM
465Please respect copyright.PENANAqYplmXxJke
“Tell me more about it,” I told him as I sat against the wall. I stretched out my legs; my thighs pressing his. Damien took his cigarette with his right hand as I was sitting on his left side and rested his, now free, hand on my thighs; stroking my skin.465Please respect copyright.PENANA2dHJ55MHk2
465Please respect copyright.PENANAzVPQdD9GKH
“ehh,” he said and exhaled the smoke. “The company will give me an apartment, car, alimentation, three trips per year for holidays,” he explained. I bit my lip to keep my frown masked.465Please respect copyright.PENANApa7TuCk6vi
465Please respect copyright.PENANADTqDa5s9fA

I nodded, looking elsewhere as I started calculating the days. Today was the 7th. My exams were starting on the 17th . So Damien was leaving the 21st, in the middle of my exams. I didn’t like that.465Please respect copyright.PENANAMjjkgAMUgk

“He said hi too,” Damien laughed. “Okay, bye,” he said to Max and disconnected the call. Before Damien put the phone away, I noticed the black and white background picture on his phone and frowned. It looked familiar.465Please respect copyright.PENANAd7fEScu7sk

A girl was sitting on a bed, one leg over the other as she wore her stockings. As I scrutinized the background it looked even more familiar. I could only see one side of her face as her hair were falling down in front of her; barely covering her cleavage. And then it hit me. It was me!I narrowed my eyes and looked at Damien who was grinning.465Please respect copyright.PENANAK4PkihgpEp

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.465Please respect copyright.PENANAVmO4PT9gv2

“It’s a great photograph,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appearing on his cheek. I smiled and leaned over him. I put my hand against his chest and touched my lips to his; my tongue entering his mouth. He put his free hand around my waist and pulled me closer. “I have more,” he smirked against my lips.465Please respect copyright.PENANAm3i5DYCYLs

“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.465Please respect copyright.PENANA2wYLW9eJlU

“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.465Please respect copyright.PENANAVs8TrE0LoA

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.465Please respect copyright.PENANAfIGKZUCwHK

“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.465Please respect copyright.PENANA27Kw37Yhn2

“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.465Please respect copyright.PENANA3HTNqFhNQH

“Don’t!” he warned.465Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ8l9rA6Ak

“Shut up,” I mumbled as I turned my back to him and opened the phone gallery. Damien pulled me backwards and took the phone back. “Hey,” I exclaimed.465Please respect copyright.PENANAp0WuW9eryR

“Shh,” he said and pinned me against the mattress and left the phone on the coffee table next to us. I fought to overpower him but with no success.465Please respect copyright.PENANACCE02MI6mi

He positioned himself between my legs, keeping my hands pinned down. I wrapped my legs around him and bid my lower lip, grinning. He leaned over me and kissed my neck slowly until he reached my collarbone. He, then, moved his lips upwards and traced my jaw line before he looked into my eyes.465Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZyRWO9cWh

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.465Please respect copyright.PENANALkx5WnB8qd
465Please respect copyright.PENANAsDuJojz4MT
“What?” I asked.465Please respect copyright.PENANAHsQYly3P1h
465Please respect copyright.PENANA4XlftWNwYd
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.465Please respect copyright.PENANABUQckqf18G

“I can’t ask you that,” I shook my head lightly. Before I could explain any further I saw him raising his eyebrows and shaking his head; like he meant to say that he expected that from me. “I can never ask you to let an opportunity like that pass you by, Damien,” I explained. He searched my eyes for a while.465Please respect copyright.PENANAH389p91maW

“Okay,” he finally nodded and touched his full lips to mine. I hoped that what I said was enough. I didn’t want to complicate things more by saying something more.465Please respect copyright.PENANANF8XcE4a0t
