Bright red roses stood on my nightstand in the morning, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t wake up and think about Damien first.
Getting dressed, I grabbed my briefcase and rushed to work.
As soon as I made it to the office, Damien was sitting in our conference room.
What the…
Flanked by two associates at the firm, he was sitting across from my boss and one of my new coworkers.
“Ah, there you are, Miss Tanner.” Mr. Pennington motioned for me to sit next to him, right across from Damien. “We have some special guests who stopped by regarding a shared issue.”
“How convenient.” I forced a smile.
I felt Damien staring at me the entire meeting, begging me, practically daring me to look his way, but I refused.
“We’ll be in touch with you folks.” My colleague said, standing to her feet.
I shook hands with Damien and immediately wished I hadn’t. He held onto my fingers far longer than necessary, and by the time he let go, everyone else had left the room.
He walked over to the door, but he didn’t leave. He leaned against the doorframe, staring at me.
“Do you need help following everyone else outside the conference room, Mr. Carter?” I asked.
“Not at all.”
“Good, because I’m working in herealonetoday.” I stood up and started to shut the door, but he wedged his foot between the frame.
“Wait,” he said. “I heard you were dating another guy. Is it serious?
“Not yet.”
“Are you fucking him?”
“That’s none of your business.” I pushed his foot away.
“I’m sorry.” He looked deep into my eyes. “For whatever you think I did, I’m sorry.”
“You’re not sorry at all, Damien. You just miss having sex with me.”
“I’m sure you miss it, too.” He paused. “I’m sure you also know that your new guy will never be better.”
“Spoken like a true jealous ex-boyfriend.”
“I was never yourboyfriend.”
“Exactly.” I turned away, but he grabbed my waist and spun me around.
“Elizabeth, listen to me…”
“All I ever did was listen to you.” I hissed. “But you never cared enough to listen tome, so I’m moving on to someone else.” My voice cracked. “If you don’t have any more questions, please go.”
“One more,” he said, looking into my eyes. “Does your new boyfriend fuck you like I used to?”
“He doesn’thurt melike you used to. For the record, my heart feels a lot better these days.”
“I bet your pussy doesn’t …”
I slammed the door in his face before he could say anything else.
