‘Bast! Are you still there? I know you don’t have the balls to actually do it.‘ Val’s message pulled me out of my thoughts.
‘No, I was thinking.‘ I typed back to her, then sent another message: ‘Val, seriously what
should I do? I feel so bad!‘
‘Bast, why do you refuse to be with him? He’s sexy as fuck, rich as fuck, and for some reason he is heads over heels for you!‘
I started to respond, but her next reply stopped me in my tracks.
‘Climb that tree of a man, Bast. Fuck him until you can’t think straight. Lord knows you need to stop thinking already. Then fuck him again until all 20 of those years of pent–up energy are gone, and if he can go again, which I’m betting he can, keep fucking him. Then after, when y’all are done being all cute and shit, DETAILS BITCH! (3
I gaped at the screen for a moment, my eyes open wide as I read what she said, over and over again. I couldn’t believe Val said that. Well I could believe it, but I didn’t want to.
traction will only go so far
‘I don’t refuse to be with him Val. It’s just, whats left after sex? I don’t know anything about him! I know I’m attracted to him, yes, obviously. But when I have to spend the rest of my life with him. I want to feel something for him other than sexual. What if after sex, he decides that he wasted nearly 20 years on something that wasn’t worth it? You have no idea how much that would destroy me.‘
“That won’t happen, kitten. Is that what you’ve been afraid of this whole time?” Damien’s suddenly said in my ear. I hadn’t noticed him walk over to me, and I definitely didn’t notice when he bent down to read what Val and I were talking about, despite the fact that his face was right next to mine.
I couldn’t help the small squeak that escaped when I heard his deep voice, right in my ear. “How long have you been there?” I whispered, breathing heavily.
“Not long, but I’m a quick reader.” He said as he spun my chair around, so we were face to face Is that true? What you told Valerie?” He asked me, kneeling in front of me, so I
didn’t have to crane my neck to look up at him.
I nodded softly, unable to find the words to speak.

“You think I would wait this long for you, do everything I have done for you, just to decide I don’t want you anymore?” He asked me softly, the hurt in his voice apparent.
“I wasn’t trying to hurt you again, I was just being honest.” I whispered, looking down at my legs.
“I understand, kitten. I get why you’ve been acting this way around me now.” He said with a slight smile in his eyes, like he was happy about it.
“Why do you seem happy to know this? Aren’t you still upset with me?” I asked him, daring to glance into his eyes. His usually terrifying eyes were now soft as he allowed himself to smile, showing his perfect white teeth.
“I’m happy to know that you care enough to try to make this work. That means something to me, and you should know that I want to do the same. Granted, I know that I want you by my side, but I’m willing to do what it takes for you to come to the same conclusion.” He said as he leaned forward, and kissed me softly on the lips.
I sighed in relief as I put my arms around his shoulders and kissed him back, letting myself rest against him. He groaned as he put his arms around me, pulling me to the edge of my chair as he explored my mouth with his tongue. I felt my heart rate increase as we began kissing harder, with more passion than ever before. He put one hand on the back of my head as he leaned into me, forcing my chair to lean back against the desk, his other hand making its way down my back until it reached just under my thigh. He broke away from our kiss long enough to let me catch my breath.
