It was about 7 AM when Damian felt the morning light on his face. The sun was way up. He was a bit confused where he was and the blurry vision did not help. He felt something stir in his arms and then is when his eyes landed on her beautiful face. They stayed up late last night, although they did not do more talk and some occasional stolen kisses, that was more satisfying than anything.
He stayed like that for more than a few minutes, not moving a muscle, too scared not to wake her up, just caressing her soft hair and daydreaming about their life together. How to spoil her and more important to protect her and keep her safe from anyone who would try to take her away from him. He started chuckling. Who would have thought that de devil itself could be capable of thing like this? To care for someone and to be compassionate.
That small movement of his made her stir some more and after a couple o yawns, she opened her eyes. To her surprise, the first thing she saw was a pair of blue eyes eager to absorb everything about her. He was still shirtless and had no shame. She blushed and hid her head in his torso and with a muffled voice said.
“Good morning! When did you wake up?” Damian not wanting her to know that he has been watching her this whole time and to scare her answered with a husky voice and a big smile on his lips.
“Morning, gorgeous! Not too long ago. Sleep well?” She nodded blushing even harder. He felt prouder than ever that he could have that effect on her. For one second he felt a sting in his hart. She was so kind, should he be part of something so good? Wouldn’t his darkness kill the purest thing in his life? But his beast would not let him get away from her, he had a taste of it and it wanted more. To late now to think at it.
Elle put her hands on him and pushed away from him. In a way he was a little disappointed, he could feel the emptiness and the coldness and he did not like it. In just one night he decided he would not sleep another night without her. Her place was by his side.
Out of the blue Elle asked. “What now?” He looked at her, took her injured hand and said. “Well, we should go and het this hand checked out.” And he kissed her every finger. She felt like her checks were burning, she was sure that he saw it and after refusing him last night he was going to leave her. What could a man like him see in an inexperienced old maiden? Her face became sad, she was waiting for him to say that they would go back to the way it was, him the boss and her his employ.
“And in the meantime I am going to get us both new phones and before you say anything I will not accept no for an answer. And don’t worry I’ll be sure to get you the same number.” She nodded in acknowledgment. “And after we could go have something to eat and maybe talk some more. What do you say?”
She looked at him with hopeful eyes and then she said. “It all sounds good and believe me that I would love to but actually today is my birthday and I took this weekend off from work to go and visit my parents.” Damian’s face changed how could he had forgotten, he was such an i***t and the fact that she did not want to take him with her made him even angrier. “But what do you say if we do as you said except we leave the bite for when I get back?” A bit grumpy he accepted.
“I’m going to take a quick shower, won’t be long, make yourself at home.” Damian grinned and said. “Do you need some help? I could wash your back.” Elle was crimson red she hit him over his arm and went on her way. “I was just trying to help seeing your hand is bruised.”
But the truth was that even the idea of her naked in the bathroom made his c*ck hard. He could hear the shower run and all kind of images came into his mind. How he would go and take her from behind and start liking her neck, with his member rubbing against her butt checks. One hand on her neck and the other on her mountain, playing with her bundle of nerves. After he would start ascend to her entrance and at first put one finger in, then another one and then he would make her spasm and … the shower turned off and he got back to reality. His in for a long run, but knowing that she was untouched made the idea of having her even powerful.
While she got dressed he made coffee. He was admiring the view over the city and thinking at his next move. He wanted to go legal even more now. He had to motives now. Being in his own world he did not hear Elle coming from the room. She approached him and put her hand over his arm. By reflex he took her arm and twisted it to her back and he pushed her onto the glass window. She exhaled loudly and her face was showing pain.
He was white as ghost. He did not mean to hurt her he thought he was being attacked. He loosened his grip on her but her smell of vanilla and coffee was invading his senses. He moved closer to her. Both of their breaths accelerated. He could almost touch her lips. “I’m sorry!” Said Damian and then he kissed her. He put into that kiss all his guilt and remorse. He was gentle but passionate. He wanted to redeem his action. Out of breath he stopped and put his head in the crock of her neck. She put a hand on his head and said. “It’s ok. Sorry I scared you. I wouldn’t hurt you, ever.”
He was shocked. She was something else, worrying about scaring him when in reality he was the bad one. He started laughing. “I made coffee. If you want.” She smiled. “Thank you!” She put her coffee into a cup and waited for Damian to take a shower. After, she changed his bandage and waited for him to get dressed. Being so near him was so hard, even his back had defined muscles and his manly air was riddling her up.
After they finished, they went in the direction of the car. Near her car Damian said. “I think I should drive since your hand is still hurting.” She looked at her hand, nodded and handed him her keys. “Be careful with my baby. You are the first person who drives it except me.” Damian grinned. “I’ll be careful.” He opened the door for her to get in, circled the car and hoped into the driver’s seat. He started the car and it roared.
“I have to admit I wasn’t expecting such a powerful car.” Elle rolled her eyes. “Sometimes people are deceiving. I like a powerful car.” He smiled they already started to have a thing in common and he could bet that this was only the beginning.
The ride to the warehouse was silent, only the radio could be heard in the backgrounds. Elle hated the idea of someone else driving her car but somehow she was ok to idea of him driving it. He was speeding through the streets but she was unfazed and kept browsing through the radio posts. He liked that about her. Normally girls wanted to go safe and slow and to be seen with him in the car but her no.
They arrived at the gate from the non mafia personal because if they parked there they would get faster to the clinic part. The protocol was that they would have to lower the windows open the trunk of the car and to show their pass. Today was the nasty, fat’s man shift and she knew he would give her bad time. She started looking for her badge puffing and huffing. Although she worked there for some time and he knew it very well, every time she would come he would make her get out of the car while he inspects “the car”.
Recognizing the car the man grinning, came to the window and said.”You know the protocol sweet cheeks.” Because the car’s windows were tinted he could not see the driver. Damian gritted his teeth. Who the f**k was this motherf*cker that dared to treat his lady like that. He wanted to put a bullet through his skull, but he looked at her face and decided that she had enough last night. He was going to take his revenge later. He lowered the window and with a furious face and clenched jaw he answered the gate man.
“Red room in 15 minutes, sweet cheeks!” The man’s face drained. He did not expect for the boss to use that car or that path. He knew that anyone who entered the red room only got out in 2 ways, either dead or in very bad shape that would prefer to be dead than to keep living in that pain. He started trembling. “Boss, I had no idea you were driving this car I thought it was the doctor lady.” He excused himself. Damian livid said. ”You mean my wife?” and pointed at Elle who was in shock. The man fell to his knees and started rambling. “Your wife, no, yes… “
“Open, 15 minutes!” And he did so. Damian turned to Elle, smiled and said. “The perks of dating the boss.” Elle could not believe it. Was he real? He just said that, she could not even repeat herself. Damian parked the car and he was getting out of the car when Elle stopped him. “I think we should talk for a second.” With a serious face she took a breath in and said. “The things you just said back there and the things that happened last night, we have to clarify them.” He did not get was she was saying. For him it was all clear. He found his savior in more than one way, she was his now with all the titles that come with it and he would not stop until she would take her as his wife. He did not intend to let her go ever.
“What happened, love?” Elle opened her mouth to say something than closed it back. She did that for a couple of times and then Damian took her hand in his. “You can trust me and tell me anything you have on your heart. I won’t ever get mad on you.” She relaxed a bit. “The thing is that you are my boss and what happened between us last night is wrong. Thank you, for all your help, but you don’t have to do this.” She lowered her eyes to her hands. She knew he was out of her league, he was handsome, rich and the f*cking lord of the underworld. “Do what?” Damian asked confused. “Pretend being interested in me and lie to the world that we are involved.” What was she thinking? He had spent so much time looking for her and then he fell in love with her without knowing that she was the one and now this. No she was not leaving him.
Wait, what? He had just realized that he said that he was in love with her as her and not the ghost of the past. So much had happen in that little time that he did not think it threw.
“Look, I don’t know what your little brain is telling you, but with the first problem I have the solution, I could fire you and I would not be the boss anymore.” Her eyes got big and teary. She loved her job and the fact that from time to time would get a glimpse of him. “But it won’t work for me because I would not be able to see you every day and I would lose one of the best doctors in the world. But if you ask me I will do it.” She chuckled. “And the other thing, the problem is that I already see you as mine. I have been watching you for some time and I love everything I see at you. So too late, I am interested and I want you to be my wife!” The last one wasn’t an affirmation, it was a demand.
She had no words, was he insane? They knew little to nothing about each other. He had to be mad or have some psychological problems. He was dangerous, but somehow this did not scare her, the idea of not seeing him did though.
“We don’t know anything about each other. How can we jump like that?” He looked at her, in his head telling her all this was supposed to bring her closer to him not to make her run. He sighted, but she was right being scared. He was the f*king King of Hell, it was normal to think that he would want her for something else. “Look, I don’t want you to do anything that you don’t want but what do you say if we just start from 0 and see where that leads us?” She thought about it for a second but that second was too much for Damian, with a hopeful look he asked her. “You like me right?” She nodded in an instance and like that his hart started beating again. She would be a fool if she did not admit that she like him, from his way of being like he is untouchable to the way he dressed, from the way he treated her to the way he was with his family and with a smile she said.
“Hello! My name is Elena Tevis, but you can call me Elle. I’m 28 years old and a resident at FMMC.” He took her hand and said. “Hi! My name is Damian Moretti, 35 years old and I would prefer to call you love, if you don’t mind.” And he grinned. She blushed and continued.”And another thing, I would prefer that we don’t start telling people that we started dating yet because we don’t even know if it will work.” Damian frowned. “And I want to act professional as long as we are at work.” With half a heart he accepted it. At this point he would accept anything, although he wanted to shout for all to know. In a way it was better this way. She would be protected from harm. He was going to send a team to be her shadow anyways.
Then he got out and opened her door for her to get out. She thanked him and gave him a chase kiss on his lips. He smirked, she had broken her rule on her own. He walked with her into the clinic and left her in the hands of Dr. Lambert and went on his way to the office with a smile on his face. Every man he walked by felt threatened by it. He never smiled, the man was made out of anger and seriousness and that’s it. At the office he changed his shirt and opted for another black suit. He had ordered already the new phones when Nikolas appeared with them.
“Where the f*ck did you disappear last night. There was a shooting near Lustful club and the boys told me you were there but you disappeared. I assumed you popped that i***t and I took care of it. And why the f**k did you ask for 2 phones?” He was out of breath.
“Calm down, you did well. Yes, I popped that son of a b*tch because he tried to r*pe Elle. I lost my phone in the fight and so did her. Satisfied? “Nikolas had his eyes big. “Since when do you care about any employees?”
“Since this is not your business!” He rolled his eyes. “Fine then I will ask for answers from her!” Damian got up from the chair. “Don’t you dare! Fine, swear on my sister’s life that you won’t tell a soul!”He knew that meant something serious and did as he asked.
“Elle is the woman who saved me in that crash 3 years ago. I found her. She was under my nose for so long and the fact is I was taken by her long before I knew. I don’t know where we are so I don’t want anything to mess things up.” Nikolas started grinning, finally. He went and gave him a brotherly hug. “F*ck yeah, man! Go I’ll sort things up around here.” Damian thanked him and before he could leave he turned and said. “I almost forgot. In the red room should be a man that was at the gate, punish him for me in my way and if he’s not there hunt him until you find him and kill him. Thanks brother!” Nikolas did not ask and did not care, he would do as asked, but the fact that he chose to skip punishing the man and go with Elle was something new.
When Damian arrived at the clinic he found Elle waiting for him impatiently with her hand bandaged. He looked at her even without makeup she was beautiful. She had that natural beauty. He handed her a brand new iPhone. “Here you go!” She smiled and thanked him. When she opened it she noticed that most of her photos were there and most of her accounts. He chuckled. “I have good hackers in my crew. I hope you don’t mind I thought you wanted your life back.” She was surprised but she hugged him anyways.
“I think I should go! See you in 2 days.” But he stopped her and said. “What if I come with you, as your personal driver and I could meet your parents too?” She thought about it but how could she put them in that position? “Normally I would say yes, but it is too soon. I hope you don’t get mad but…” He kissed her and stopped her rambling. “It’s ok. Safe trip and I’ll be here when you get back!” She hugged him and she got in her car and drove off. He was going to send the men to protect her anyways.
