CHAPTER 36

"I can't believe you said YES." I squeak in bubbling happiness, just like a teenager who's gotten his crush to like him back.

"Did you think I'd say no?" He rises up from his chair, and walks towards me.

"I'm complicated. A vampire. An overbearing CEO. Control freak. A playboy with a rather bad history about dating in the past. Those were enough reasons for you to say no." I gaze at him, trying to read his mind.

"You're a great man. A person in whom one can confide in. You don't think about your life twice, before jumping straight into danger to save the people you love. Your love is self-less, consuming and self-sacrificing. You're passionate towards the poor, to whom you donate unimaginable amount of money, to just make their lives better. I think these were enough reasons for me to say yes." He grins, as I peck him on his lips.

"I love you." I speak, smiling against his lips. He's so perfect. Too perfect.

"And, I love you too." He replies, and he intertwines his hands at the crook of ny neck.

I throw my head back in the warmth of the situation, as I drown into his beautiful hazel eyes.

"Mom and dad would talk to you over the phone, once we reach home." He informs me non chalantly, and I blanch. Shit, what if I mess this up?

"Oh, you'll do just fine, Godfrey." He says, with his hand lightly stroking my cheek.

"I don't know... It's just... I have never thought of doing it before..." I trail off, being super unconfident.

"Hey, look at me." He states, as he turns my chin to face him.

"You'll do more than manage it, trust me." He replies, and my muscles seem to relax a bit.

"Okay. Let's go to dinner to a restaurant. My treat. And, we'll see what happens next." I smile at him.

"That sounds lovely." He kisses me as his lips crush mine roughly, with his tongue throbbing in my mouth, I feel amazing. I pull him a bit closer, as he cups my face and deepens the kiss.

I give in all I have to offer. The love, the feelings I have for him. It's just so magical, and enchanting. Thinking about the fact that someone would bring my heart to thaw, after it had been frozen for more than two centuries.

We break away, as I place a small kiss on his forehead and offer him a hand. He takes it, as we walk out of my office room. After the short elevator ride, we've finally reached the ground floor of my building, when people stand up and bid me goodbye.

It's nice being the centre of attention all the time. I just love that. We stride out of our office building, as I call Luke.

"Luke, come right now, infront of my office. I'm waiting."

"Sir, I'll be right there." He says, as I hang up and face Lucas. He seems to be scowling. What is it?

"What happened to you?" I look at him as he turns to face me.

"My treat today. You're so insistent on spending tons of your money under me and I don't like the idea." He narrows his eyebrows at me, as I roll my eyes.

"My treat and my statement stands. And for the billionth time, “our money”, Lucas." I frown at him.

"But, you can't always—" He proceeds, as I cut him off, mid sentence.

"Oh yes, I can." I growl at him. Why is he so difficult?

"Why do you always do like this?" He scowls at me.

"Oh, because I can, Mr. Carter." I give him a charming wink and his eyes shoot up in surprise.

He smacks me on my chest, and I burst into giggles. It's been so many years since I've smiled like this. And now that I am, it's all because of him.

"Don't mess with me like that!" He squeaks, grinning at me. And that's when I spot Luke waiting for us in the car.

"So how should I mess with you? Like this?" I quickly grab him by his waist, and pull him over my shoulder, as I smack his butt.

"Put me down! Put me down!" He's struggling to get down. Oh no, baby. Not so easily.

"This is kidnapping!" He speaks, as I hear him chuckle.

"That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think?" I smirk, as I open the door of the car, and deposit him inside.

Luke suggested us a restaurant, and I booked a table for us both. The place is small, cozy and intimate. I order two flutes of champagne, shortly after which, our order is served. I twirl around my champagne flute, as I take a long sip, when a tempting thought crosses my mind.

"Lucas, give me a fellatio." I say, as he's left agape.

"In here.... infront of all these people?" He can't quite believe his ears.

"They won't see you." I grin at him, imagining the scene in my head.

"My god, Damian, we're in table placed in the centre of the restaurant. People are all around us!" He looks at me, not quite understanding if I'm joking or not.

"Come on... it's not like you don't want to give me a fellatio. Plus, my birthday sex was postponed." I speak in a smooth tone, as I grab his tie and pull him closer.

"Since you postponed that... you pay the price...." I whisper in his ear, as I calmly sit back leaning against my chair, as I hear his heart beating like someone who's on an adrenaline rush.

Lucas warily scans the crowd of people around us, as he silently bends down, and gets himself comfortable under the table. I take another swig of my champagne, as I feel his hand caressing my crotch. Ah, this should be worth it.
