FORTY FOUR
SELENA
“Follow me right now,” I ordered the fool in front of me who wouldn’t stop smiling, displaying his diamond-grilled teeth which succeeded in making him look uglier than he had made himself.
“That’s all I intend to do with my life,” Damancio announced as I walked past him, a huff escaping my lips. Once we were out on the plain grounds, at a distance quite farther from the building, the man pulled my arm, causing me to halt my steps.
I had no intention to house whatever ridiculous thing he came to say, so, with my gaze hardened, I jerked his hold off.
“What do you want, Damancio?”
“Can you at least show some excitement?” It was a delight to watch the grown man complain with a childish voice. As his shoulders danced in a silly manner, his structured jaws twitched at intervals and I could tell that he was still in pain from the last surgery he had. Why he was so addicted to body modification was always a question that bugged my mind each time I see him.
“Can you leave now?” My arms crossed over my chest as I sensed Lucius move closer. Good, I could use his help to knock some sense into the idiot in front of me.
“Is this any way to treat the man that’s in love with you?” His immature tactics were soon replaced with a pleading look. As he took a step closer, I took one away from him, my glare still intact, my hatred growing tenfold as I perceived the unusual scent he always carried with him.
“I have no use for you, Damancio, I have always thought of you as a bastard who threatens the peace in my life and my gang.” My feet swayed gently as I continued, “You are quite stupid for coming here though. And it is clear that you don’t have an ounce of respect for me as you claim to have.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Damancio took a troubled step closer. “I came for you, baby. While I was away, all I thought about was you. All I wanted was to resume our plans to get married.”
“Get married?” I snickered. “That plan which you tried to force on me died a long time ago. Did you really think involving my father would work in your favour?”
“Well…” He shrugged lightly. “Your father does like me.”
“Does he? I think he was just trying to humour you and your stupid plans.” At that point, I was getting tired of his presence. “Damancio,” my feet shifted closer, “do yourself a favour and focus on fixing the errors you have made to your face. You look like a disfigured plastic doll. Wow,” I snickered once more, the tone of my voice intentionally sinister, “even dolls are finer than you. What a pity.”
“Oh please,” Damancio waved off my words as he began to toy with his face, running his fingers through the sharp lines that defined his facial structure in the worst way. Watching him toy with his swollen lips made a ball of disgust fall into the pit of my emotions. My lips scrunched in a way that showed my distaste for his presence. “I look too good,” the man finally said as I signaled at Lucius to fall in place.
My sight darted past the three armed men that came with the unwanted person in front of me and as I wondered how to get rid of them, they began to take retreating steps, their wise action causing me to smile.
“I love how delusional you are,” I said as I turned my attention to Damancio. “I am going to ask you to leave as nicely as I can. If you refuse to do as I say… well, you will find out what facing my wrath really means.”
“Oh, I’m so scared. I want to-”
“What the fuck is going on here?” Damon joined the party, a scowl on his face. “Have you forgotten where you are, Selena? There are kids in there.”
As I shrugged, my hands gestured at the unwelcomed individual and I replied, “This dude suddenly popped out of nowhere.”
“Is this the guy I have been hearing about?” Damancio asked, a look of amusement on his face. “What do you see in him, Selena?” he asked after a dismissive scoff left his lips. “He is hardly handsome.”
I had no idea when I laughed, but I did, loudly. My shoulders moved as my hands clapped at intervals, showing how much his last words amused me. “Damon is hardly handsome? Oh my God! What a joke…” I clapped harder as my chuckle deepened, my head thrown back as my hands tried to mask my excited lips. “… what a great joke.”
“I am not sure what’s funny, Selena.”
“No?” My smile was huge as I ended my bouts of laughter. Straightening my stance, I replied, “Damon is a million times better looking than you. And, I am not making this judgment based on what you have done to your face. Even when you were normal-looking, Damon’s looks would easily beat yours.”
“Whatever,” Damancio said as he rolled his eyes.
“Selena,” Damon who failed to say a word as the bastard tried to tarnish his handsomeness called. “Can we go in now? We are about to have a meal.”
“How precious,” Damancio butted in once again. I sighed as I watched him face Damon who was slightly taller than him. As I stared at Damon’s broad shoulders, I wished that the time I would get to touch him would approach faster than I had hoped. “You must be the guy she’s screwing. Tell me, how drunk are you on her pussy juice?”
At that point, my impatience had evolved and it showed in the way I furiously tapped my bare feet against the surprisingly cool ground. It seemed the heatwave was yet to arrive despite what the weather control center suggested.
“Damancio…” I warned the guy who had successfully caused me to make the decision of sending him to exile. Placing a ban would put Damancio in his place.
“Is she as sweet as I have imagined her to be?” Damancio ignored me and my jaw clenched in reaction. My patience was indeed running thin.
“I don’t know who you are,” Damon started to respond, his arms crossed over his chest, “but, how about you mind your business and focus on repairing the damage you have done to your face.”
“Wh-what?”
Is it strange to say that all I could see as Damon replied the bastard was his lips? Yes, I am thrilled with the response Damon gave him, but those pink lips of his…
I quickly shook my thoughts away lest I become a horny mess.
“Do you know what the kids in there think of you?”
“I am a fine man, I know.”
“A monster,” Damon casually dropped, his long lashes blinking with confidence. “They called you a monster.”
“What do kids know anyway? They are-”
“Selena,” Damon whipped his head in my direction, “can we go in now?”
“Definitely.” My feet scuffled toward the man who had turned me into a version of myself I never knew existed.
“Selena, how can you-”
“Lucius you can take care of him, yeah?”
“Sure, boss.”
“Wait, you can’t leave me alone, Selena,” Damancio’s voice became louder than usual. “Wait… why are you holding her hand? You have no right to do that.”
Damon didn’t look at me as his warm hand wrapped mine. Not looking back either, he led us toward the entrance and on my part, I didn’t bother to say a word.
Instead, I relished the little contact we had and desired more.

An hour later, the children and their matron bade farewell to Damon and me. Of course, I barely spared them a wave but Damon was so jolly with the way he greeted them with promises of his return.
My tired eyes glanced at the building and I ran through my thoughts to recall the observations I made during my visit which turned out to be somewhat okay.
As I made sure to note my intention to purchase chairs for the kids, I wondered what I could do about Malik’s interference in the lives of the kids who shouldn’t be setting their sight on weapons or hefty looking men.
Soon, Damon and I were walking to the jeep which turned out to be unlocked despite Lucius’s absence.
“Selena,” Damon called, snapping me out of my thoughts. He had opened the passenger door and was waiting for my entry. “Wait,” his thick voice halted my intending motion. As I turned to face him, he placed his hands on the upper body of the vehicle and his move caused me to be trapped between his thick thighs.
My skirt shifted a little as his lower body surprisingly began to move closer.
“Damon…”
“You did good today, Selena.” Gosh… there was something about the way his sexy low voice made my stomach curl with desire. “I can’t help but wish to reward you.” His words gave me hope. Slowly, I tilted my head until our eyes met. “You especially turned me on during Damancio’s show. But, I am trying hard to stay away…” his lips leaned closer and closer to my ear as his body rested against mine and ignited feeling within me.
“You will be breaking your deal,” I whispered as I relished the feel of his breath against my skin. My neck craned gently to allow more room for that provocative moment.
“I am just rewarding you, Selena.” Damn it… he is teasing me and he knew that would cause me to become a mess. “The deal is still intact,” he said and blew onto my earlobe after.
“Damon…” I tried hard to make sure that my voice didn’t turn into a loud moan.
“Tell me, darling.” My heart started to race as our groins stayed glued. “How should I reward you?”
“Why…” I breathed hard as I tried to stay calm. “Why are you asking an obvious thing, Damon?” as my low voice spoke, I felt happiness because it seemed that Damon wasn’t going to stay away from me for a month as his original plan suggested. It seemed that Damon felt as frustrated as I.
So, when we eventually end up in the position I so much desire, I will make sure he doesn’t decide to take a break again.
“Tell me, Selena,” Damon urged. His hands were still planted above my head as he spoke and his hot breath was harshly fanning the length of my neck.
Without wasting time, my hands wrapped around his waist. Pushing his lower body unto mine, I uttered the words, “I want you to fuck me.”
