Chapter 40

Erica's POV

"Come in" I heard Damian say after knocking on his door.

I went in and our eyes met almost instantly but I was quick to shift my gaze. My heart was beating so fast as I walked closer to him and my brain went completely blank.

"Please sit" he said, his voice calm and almost sweet.

And I found myself unable to disagree with him, as I sat down while my eyes went round his office, but not his eyes, definitely not his eyes.

"How are you Erica" he asked after some time had passed, as I could feel his eyes steadily on me.

There was something about the way I felt around him, no matter how angry I might have been, immediately I see him all my anger disappears. I always feel happy and safe whenever I am with him.

"I'm fine, thank you" I said, still resisting the urge to look at him in his beautiful blue eyes. Those years we were apart, I use to think about him every time I see the color blue.

I started fondling with my hands as I tried to neglect the urge of wanting him to wrap me in his big strong hands, it makes me feel safe.

"I'm sorry about the other night, I should not have taken advantage of you, considering you were tipsy and all" he said in a very calm remorseful tune.

I should be the one saying sorry, considering the fact that I left him hanging after he gave me the best orgasm I have had in eight years.

See, this is one of the reason I find myself unapologetically attracted to him. He is kind, loving and caring.

At least, that was the opinion I had of him before he abandoned me on the night he never came back.

"Were you hurt?" He asked as I found myself completely lost about what he is talking about.

" I mean down there" he said, using his eyes to trance the part of my body he was talking about.

My eyes unintentionally went up to meet his. His eyes were filled with so much passion and I could tell where this conversation was going.

"No, I'm fine" I said clearing my throat so my words come out more audible.

"Can I check to see for myself" he asked seductively.

After which, he stood up from his chair and started walking towards me. He stood behind the chair I was seated on and I could  feel my pant getting damp by my arousal.

"No, I'm fine" I said, resisting the urge to let him take charge of my body, my whole body craved for his touch but no, I was not going to let him eat his eat and have it.

I close my eyes, telling myself not to give in to his teases. if he loved me, then he would have came back for me after he abandoned me many years ago.

He would have at least called to know how I was doing, but it seems he choose to believe his wicked step sister over me.

"Damian, please stop" I said, as soon as I felt his hands on my shoulders.

"Do you want me to stop or do you need me to stop?" he asked, as his hands finds his way into my blouse and grab on to my breast.

I unconsciously let out a small hiss as he gently fondles my breast.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, he quickly takes his hands off me and heads back to his seat.

I adjusted my clothes and start properly with my legs closed within seconds. Its no use going out, that will only make what is happening glaring to a suspicious mind.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he held me in his eyes.

"Yes" I nodded.

"Come in" he said and I heard the door open behind me, I watched Damian jaws tightens and his hand folded in a soft fist the moment the person walked in.

"Yes, how may I help you?" Damian asked, his voice firm and bossy.

"I was told you sent for me sir" Frank said.

I felt his eyes poking my head from behind. Frank can be very nosy, and he must waited to see how long it took me to come out of Damian's office.

And when his patient grew thin, he decided to come see what was going on.

"No, I did not. you may leave" Damian said, and I could hear Frank linger for a while before existing the door.

Damian took a deep sigh before speaking to me.

"He likes you, he does not deserve you though" Damian said, with a bit of teasing smile

"And tell him, if he ever tries to pull the type of stunt he just pulled, he is fired" he said, and that kind of unleased a bit of anger in me.

"He is fired? just make sure when you are preparing his sack letter include mine also" I said, snapping at his audacity.

It has always been about him, he could do anything and get away with it.

What is wrong in someone been interested in me? I stood up and was about leaving his office when he rushed over to where I was and held my hands.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, just that I get crazy when I see him with you, he is nothing but a Casanova, I actually feel like punching him" he said calmly.

then you guys must be related i said mumbling the words under breath so he doesn't hear me. Nevertheless, I found myself forgiving him instantly for his mishaps.

"Come and sit down please" he said pleading.

"I really need to go, before anyone suspect anything" I said looking away.

"You are still that girl I use to know, so cautious of what others think of her. You really need to start thinking about yourself more, about what you really want without owning anyone any apology" He said as I felt his hands around my waist

"This is my property, and if anyone says one thing out of place about you, that person is as good as gone" he said in a protective tune as he teases me with his breath.

I feel so connected to him, like he is my better half, the one that makes everything in me complete.

"Why are you doing this to me, you are engage and still would not let me be" I said, feeling frustrated at the rage of emotions going through my system.

"Because I love you, and I have always had, all these years without you were tough and lonely, you are my obsession" he said in a sexy tune.

"So why didn't you try to reach out to me all this time" I asked.

"I did try to look for you, you were no where to be found" he said turning me around to face him.

He might have tried to reach me, but my parents and I decided to relocate at that time after they discovered I was pregnant. They wanted to protect me from wagging tongues and to give me a new place to be able to start afresh.

"Let's just try to put our past behind and start all over again" he said.

"Some past are hardly forgotten, especially the not so good ones, I don't think we been together was meant to be Damian. If you will excuse me I have to go back to my office" I said, leaving his office before he had the time to stop me.

I got back to my office and tried holding back the wave of emotions going through my head, as I subconsciously let a few drop of tears run down to my cheeks.

I hate him so much, I don't want to be in love with him again, I told myself.

But deep in my heart, I know he was the only one I have ever loved, he is still the only one I truly loved and it hurts real bad.
