"Areyou insane?"
Itried to push him off, sensing his intention.Damoncaught both my wrists with one hand.Hisother slid to the back of my thigh and lifted it.Onestrong leg pressed between my inner thighs.
“Stop.”Abarely audible protest escaped my lips.
Hepaid no mind and moved in closer.Thepounding in my veins threatened to erupt as the tempo sped up, grinding roughly against me.Alow rumble of appreciation reverberated in his chest when my eyes fluttered.
Thiswas dangerous territory.Damonwas universally accepted as the golden boy.Iwas widely accepted as the demon child.Peoplewere drawn to him like a magnet, whereasIhad no outstanding friendships to boast about.Wewere the future of competing organizations, battling it out for survival, and while he represented all that was good,Iwas considered abnormal.Onemore bad move on my part, and our remaining clients would flock to him.He'dwipeAmbaniCorpoff the map and our legacy along with it.
Thereminder drained the lust right out.Iwrenched my thigh away, managing a slight distance from him.Inthe interim, the argument in the office gained volume.
"You'llhear from my lawyer."
"Thisisn't over."
"You'reinsane."
Damondidn't react to the voices.

"So?"
"There'llbe consequences if they find us like this."
"So?"
Likeany good nemesis,Ihad researchedDamonextensively.Thefamously levelheadedCEOwas betraying his usual characteristics.Thisvulgar proximity bordered on maniacal recklessness with our families in the other room.
Thedoor burst open, shattering the imaginary bubble surrounding us.Iducked underDamon’sarm before anyone stepped into the hallway and marched toward theIntensiveCareUnit.Nickcaught up with me, stopping to throw daggers atDamonwith his eyes.Iallowed myself one glance to findDamon'seyes steadfast on me.Hemouthed, “Later,Ambani.”
Iturned away, yet the feeling of his eyes crawling over my skin followed me for the remainder of the night.
