“I’m afraid to disappoint him.” My head drops, and I pick at my jeans.
“Dad just wants to see you happy. Whatever issues I have with Damien, at least I know he’s capable of doing this one right. In his fucked-up way, he loves you more than is healthy.”
“Alex.”
“I guess you’ll be moving in with him.”
“Yes, but it’s not that you and I won’t see each other often. It’s just that we won’t live together anymore.”
“Oh, Bria.” His voice lowers, and melancholy seeps through this moment.
We stare at each other when Sophia waltzes in.
“Guys, I hate to interrupt, but I’m starving.”
“We’re done anyway. Let’s get my girl something to eat.”
My heart leaps witnessing the way he is with Sophia.
“I’ll be back in a moment,” I say, but then I remember that I have no other clothes here and shout Damien’s name. A door flies open as he runs toward me, worry marring his face.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
“I have nothing clean to change into.”
“Come with me,” Damien says as he drags me toward his bedroom. I find rows of feminine clothes in the dressing room, including dresses for all occasions, in all colors, shirts, and jeans. My mouth hangs open.
“It’s called preparation for when I convinced you to move in with me finally. I might have done a little shopping for you,” he says in a rush.
I raise my eyebrow at him, and the corner of his mouth arches up.
“Okay, I let someone else do the shopping.”
“Always so sure of yourself.”
“Purely wishful thinking, baby. Did I tell you today how much I love you?”
“I love you too.” I rise on my toes and kiss him while playing with the ends of his hair. “Now get out. I have to change, and it’s impossible with you in here.”
“You are crazy if you think I’ll give up a chance to gaze upon your delectable, naked body.” He sizes me up, and heat rolls down my spine as his finger caresses my back. “I get the impression you’re slightly disorientated. Let me help get you undressed.”
“You should help me get dressed instead.” I giggle, and he grips my waist. His touch is magnetic.
“Not as much fun, but I’ll try.”
He does quick work with undressing me. I stand naked before him, not believing his dexterity. I blink at him, but he laughs at me and smacks my bottom.
“I like to be proficient at everything I do.”
I’ll show him a proficiency he won’t soon forget. I turn in his arms, bite my lip, suppressing a mischievous grin.
“No. No, baby, just looking, no touching.” He eyes me as if questioning if I am serious, and I suppress my amusement.
Just inches separate us, and even without touching me, his warm breath caresses my skin. His lips graze my earlobe as he says, “Until tonight, baby. I’ll make sure you beg me to touch you, and it will be my pleasure.”
He backtracks while I count the hours.
