Chapter 12 Twelve
Chapter 12
Damien's POV
I meant it when I told her I'd keep my distance, but that doesn't mean she gets to flirt with other men. There was something about Tessa that kept me glued.
Aside from her beauty and perfect curves, of course, it felt like she was the one made for me. The woman designed it for me.
I wouldn't talk about how we fit seamlessly, my dk sliding into her pussy as it owned it and like it knew it.
She was one woman I was going to keep, she just hadn't recognized it yet.
Minutes after Tessa had walked out of my office, her shoulders rigid and her face pale, the door burst open.
I raised a brow as I lifted my head to see who the intruder was. Xavier gave a toothy smile as he strolled in, shutting the door behind him and walking straight towards my bar where I kept my drinks.
He uncapped a bottle of Scotch and poured it into a glass before walking towards me. My eyes followed him like a predator watching its prey.
He fell into the swivel seat in front of me, his gaze meeting mine as he raised the glass to his lips, taking a huge gulp.
He smirked as he dropped the glass on my desk with a clank.
“Your new PA is Tessa, huh?” he asked, and I rolled my eyes before relaxing into my seat and loosening my tie.
“Call it a miracle” I muttered and he arched a brow.
“The same Tessa that almost drove you crazy?” the surprise in his voice was evident.
I shrugged in a silent response. She was still fucking driving me crazy now.
“Wow, the chick is hot. I understand your plight now” he grinned, and I shot out of my seat, my gaze stern.
“Stay away from her,” I warned, but Xavier only smiled widely. He knew how to push my fucking buttons and did it well.
“Come on Damien, give a man a chance,” he said, and I leaned back into my seat. I wouldn't play into his hands.
“It's a warning,” I said coolly. He grabbed the glass, raising it to his lips and downing it in one gulp. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand, his expression turned serious as he stared at me.
“She's giving you a hard time?” he asked, and my sigh gave the answer he so badly wanted.
“Oh shit” he whispered and I nodded.
“Yeah, shit. She would rather not have anything to do with me, she believes it was just a nightstand” I bit out even though saying it out loud grated on my nerves.
“Can't she see you're so fucking whipped?” he asked, and I gave him a droll look.
“Am I supposed to tell her that?” I asked and he shook his head.
“No man, no” he muttered. We fell silent for a minute, my attention dropped back to my laptop and I stared at the files Leah had forwarded. I was supposed to go through them, but my head was in a fucking disarray at the moment.
“So… you're backing out?” Xavier asked and I glared at him.
“Fucking no” I sighed. “I'm just giving her a little time to get used to all this, she just hasn't realized she's mine” I muttered, staring into the distance.
“What are you going to do then?” he asked, and I blinked, staring down at my hands.
“That's the problem. I don't know” I replied, staring at him. He smiled mischievously and I knew… I just fucking knew he had something up his sleeve.
And fuck me if I didn't want to hear it.
“I'm to send the files to your email,” Tessa said, staring at her iPad. I just stared at her.
Leah did quite a good job, and it was obvious she's a good learner. I like that. I like her.
Raising my fingers to my lips, I tried to chase away the memories of our shared night together even though it was becoming difficult by the passing minute.
Her eyes fell to my fingers and her face warmed as she quickly stared back at her iPad.
She was also affected by me. Why then was she making this difficult for both of us? I wanted her, and she wanted me too, what the fuck was wrong with that?
“Send them all, I'd be expecting them before closure” I stated, before standing up. Her eyes fell on me… expectantly?
“You're a fast learner. Good job” I commented as I walked past her, making sure our shoulders brushed.
I heard her deep intake of breath and resisted the urge to smile.
“Thank you” her will was almost breathy. I wanted to so badly grab her and hike that skirt up her legs and fuck her against my desk.
My dick twitched in agreement. There were a million things I had in mind to do for Tessa, my imagination grew wider with every passing second.
I wanted her on my bed, her blonde hair sprawled beautifully over my pillow. Naked, hot, and wet. I wanted her to moan my name and cry in ecstasy, just like she did when she came.
I wanted to hold and cuddle her petite figure that fitted perfectly against mine. Not only that, but I wanted to kiss those plump 'fuck me' lips.
There were many things I wanted from this woman, but for now, all I needed was patience.
Patience and time. It would be only a matter of time before I had her back in my arms where she belonged. It was something she just didn't know.
She signed her fate when we had that one night. I wasn't letting her go, nor was I going to give up trying to win her over.
Only a matter of time.
And if what Xavier had said was right, she'd come crawling and begging herself.
It was something I just couldn't wait for.
