I pushed his hand off my waist, my breath quick and unsteady. “Get away from me, Damon,” I snapped, my voice trembling with barely contained anger.

He didn’t move immediately, just stood there with that same infuriating smirk. “Why are you so worked up, Arya? I’m just—”

“Just what?” I cut him off, my voice rising. “Just trying to manipulate me? Just playing your stupid mind games? You waltz back into my life like nothing happened, like you didn’t hurt me, like you didn’t laugh in my face when I told you how I felt!”

Damon’s smirk vanished.

I took a shaky step back, my fists clenched at my sides, every word pouring out like I had been holding it in for far too long. “You think you can just show up, say a few words, and I’ll fall at your feet again? Well, I won’t. I’m not that girl anymore.”

“Arya—” he started, but I didn’t let him finish.

“You broke me, Damon!” My voice cracked, and before I could stop myself, tears spilled down my cheeks. “Do you have any idea how hard it was to put

    I practically ran out of the elevator the second the doors opened, putting as much distance between me and Damon as possible. My heart was still racing, my lips still tingling from his kiss. Why did I kiss him back? The question replayed in my mind over and over as I forced myself to focus on the client meeting.I managed to get through it, delivering the pitch and discussing terms like nothing had happened, but I was on autopilot the entire time. The second it was over, I grabbed my things and headed home, needing to talk to someone—someone who wouldn’t judge me but would help me sort through this emotional chaos.Yasmeen was already lounging on the couch when I got home, a bowl of popcorn in her lap and a reality show playing on TV. She took one look at me and immediately knew something was up.“Oh no,” she said, setting the bowl aside. “What happened?”I dropped my bag and collapsed onto the couch beside her, burying my face in my hands. “You’re not going to believe this.”“Try me,

    "You seem distant," Michael said, his eyes searching mine as we sat together in the quiet of his kitchen, sipping our morning coffee. His voice was gentle but laced with concern.I looked down at the steam rising from my cup, avoiding his gaze. "I’m just... tired," I replied, forcing a small smile that didn’t reach my eyes. "Work’s been a lot lately."Michael frowned, clearly unconvinced. "Arya, I know you better than that. It’s not just work." He reached across the table, his hand warm as it covered mine. "What’s going on?"I hesitated, the words on the tip of my tongue, ready to spill out. Tell him. Be honest. But my mind flashed back to the elevator, to Damon’s kiss, and my chest tightened with guilt and confusion."I..." I started, then shook my head. "It’s nothing, really." I pulled my hand away, gripping the edge of the table as if it could anchor me. "Maybe I just need a little space to clear my head."Michael's eyes darkened slightly, a flicker of something—disappointment, may

    Damon's tongue flicked against my clit as I came again. His eyes were glued to mine as he lapped up my juices. We were just having sex a few minutes ago, and then the idea popped into his head to make me cum for him over and over again as he licked and sucked my pussy."How was that?" Damon asked as he kissed my neck. He rolled off the bed and grabbed a cup of water, downing it's contents in a gulp. "It was so fucking good. My legs were shaking," I said as I collected my clothes off the floor."Let me take you out, Arya. My treat, I know you got that promotion the other day.""Damon, don't get ahead of yourself now. This is just casual sex. We don't do dates, remember?" I chuckled, and he smirked. "And that's how I like it, but I can still do nice things for you, Arya. You didn't celebrate your promotion, and that's so fucking lame. I wanted to hit the new club that opened."I raised a brow. "Are you paying for my drinks?" "You know I've got you covered," he winked. "Also, shouldn'

    "Arya, is that you?" Michael asked as he walked over to me. I only nodded because I couldn't find the words to even speak to him. But here he was standing in front of me after all this time. “So,” Michael said, leaning back in his chair. “You’re here to negotiate on behalf of the CEO. Impressive.”I clenched my jaw. “Impressive or not, I’m here to get the best deal for my client.”He raised an eyebrow. “Your client? Or for yourself?”I ignored the jab. “Let’s focus on the matter at hand. The merger—”“—is a mistake,” he finished for me. “You know that, Arya. I will not agree to that, no matter how hard Paxell Corp. tries. And you guys have been trying pretty hard.”I bristled. “It’s a strategic move. It makes sense for both companies.”“Or maybe it’s just a way for you to prove yourself,” he said softly. “You've always had the nack for trying to prove yourself.""Funny, that's not how I remember it," I smirked. "You and I both know that's not how it was, Michael. Let's not go into m

    "Pleasure to meet you." Michael's cold eyes bore into Damon's as he shook his hand. "What's going on here?" Lana's hand wrapped around Michael's arm as she leaned against him. "Oh! Arya, is this your boyfriend?" She looked surprised, then she narrowed her eyes at me. "Yes, he is." "Maybe we should go on a double date some time." She suggested, and I forced a smile. "Please excuse us," Michael said as he whisked Lana away and disappeared into the crowd. I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "Are you okay?" Damon asked, and I shook my head. "Seeing him here, I'm not even sure how to feel. It's been a long time. Plus, he's still with his ex. That says a lot." I frowned, and he cupped my chin. "Hey, they have nothing on you, Arya. You're an amazing woman." Damon kissed my cheek, causing me to smile. I was happy to not bounce into my ex and his girlfriend for the remainder of the evening. I didn't know that the feelings I used to have for Michael would come up and

    I screamed into a pillow as Damon chuckled while reading the headlines. “Look at you little miss celebrity,” he mused. “This is all your fault!” I pouted as I threw a pillow at him which he easily caught. “You’ll get used to it don’t worry,” he winked. “Besides they’ll get bored eventually and leave you alone,” “Not if we keep seeing each other,” I frowned. “C’mon it’ll give your ex boyfriend something to think about. He was totally jealous and I’m sure you liked the way it felt.” Yes the thought of Michael being jealous made me feel a certain way. But I wasn’t going to admit that.“I don’t think he was jealous. I think he’s really in love with Lana.” “She doesn’t seem like a nice person,” “No shit.” I rolled my eyes. Damon plopped down on the bed beside me and pinned my hands above my head. “Careful Arya. You better watch that mouth of yours.” He growled as pressed his leg between my legs. A soft moan escaped my lips as he smirked. “I want you to ride me like crazy right

    “Put your best foot forward and be sure to make this company a great working environment. I’m still in the process of laying off employees so I implore you to act in a certain manner. I know management around here had some loose ends but I can assure you that I’m perfectly fine with cutting loose ends. Return to work. You all are dismissed.” Michael’s words cut like a knife as his voice was cold and sharp. “Damn, your ex is intense,” Yasmeen muttered and I nodded. “He was always serious about his work. He takes it to heart and he’s very hardworking even though he had everything handed to him.” “Miss Sterling, have you already responded to the foreign investors? How is my schedule looking for the day?” His voice snapped me out of my conversation. “Sir, I didn’t have time to look at it,” I confessed. “Your position is not permanent so I suggest you get on board quickly. Your desk has been relocated to my office. Get to work.” He snapped and I flinched. Why was he talking to me like

    I groaned as I rolled off the bed; my stomach hurt so badly that I didn't even feel like moving. Fuck! My period was here. I wasn't in the mood to deal with this, but to be fair, I don't think I'd ever be in the mood to deal with this, I quickly hopped into the shower and ran myself a warm bath. It felt good and relaxing, and I wished I could stay here all day, but I had a job. After I got dressed and made my way to work, I took a few pain relief tablets. They never worked, but I still took them, hoping that they would magically work at some point. By the time I arrived, I felt like the pain was radiating from my body. The only thing I didn't do was cry. I trudged up to the office and began doing my work for the day. We had such a busy schedule today especially since we had a meeting with the shareholders. I hadn’t seen Michael all morning. That’s good because I wasn’t in the mood for his bullshit. Before lunch time I was already doubled over from the pain. I knew it was

  • Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex   Elevator

    The day started off as ordinary as any other.I adjusted my blazer and smoothed down my skirt as I entered the sleek, glass-walled building just a few blocks from Michael’s company. The client meeting was supposed to be quick—discuss the details, finalize a proposal, and be out in no time. But life had a twisted sense of humor.As I stepped into the lobby, the soft hum of classical music playing through the speakers did little to calm my nerves. I pressed the button for the elevator, checking my phone for any last-minute updates from the client. Nothing. Good. One less thing to stress about.The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, and I stepped inside, pressing the button for the 18th floor. Just as the doors were about to close, a hand slipped between them, forcing them back open.Of course. Life just couldn’t resist.Damon.My breath hitched as he stepped inside, looking as infuriatingly confident as ever in a perfectly tailored suit, his dark eyes locking onto mine the momen

    Michael had been teasing me all day about a surprise, but I never imagined he’d pull off something like this.“Where are we going?” I asked as he held my hand, guiding me into the car. He simply smirked, a playful glint in his eyes. No answer. Just that maddening smirk.After a short drive, we pulled up to a small, private airstrip. My heart skipped. “Michael…” I started, but he shook his head, opening the door for me.“Trust me,” he whispered.A sleek, black helicopter waited for us, its blades slowly spinning. He helped me inside, buckled me in, and within moments, we were airborne. The city lights sparkled beneath us like a sea of stars, and I couldn’t help but gasp at the breathtaking view."Still think I’m predictable?” he whispered in my ear, his breath warm against my skin.“Not at all,” I laughed, my heart racing from the adrenaline and… well, from him.We landed atop a skyscraper, the rooftop transformed into an intimate dining space—just for us. A table for two, draped in wh

    Michael and I found a moment of quiet in the chaos of our work. We sneaked away, away from the prying eyes and the pressures of our professional lives, finding a secluded spot where we could finally be ourselves. The tension between us had been building for so long, and now, away from everything, we finally had a chance to breathe. His hand brushed against mine as we stepped into the empty office, the door clicking shut behind us. It was only then that I allowed myself to fully look at him, my pulse racing at the sight of his focused expression, and the way his lips curved into a smile when our eyes met. “You’ve been on my mind all day,” he admitted, his voice low as he stepped closer. I could feel the heat radiating from him, his presence overwhelming and magnetic. “Yeah? I’ve been thinking about you too,” I whispered, before I leaned in to kiss him. The kiss was slow, exploratory, but deep, like we both needed to feel each other, to make up for all the time we had spent ap

  • Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex   My Past

    Michael and I sat down talking about our past when the question about Damon came up."What was he to you?" He asked."We were fuck buddies."Michael’s hand froze midway through, bringing his coffee to his lips. His brows lifted slightly, but his expression remained calm, though I could see the flicker of something—curiosity? Jealousy?—flash in his eyes."Fuck buddies," he repeated, setting his cup down carefully. His voice was neutral, but there was a subtle tension beneath the surface. "And you thought it could be more?"I nodded, suddenly feeling vulnerable. "Yeah. I thought… I don’t know. I thought if I gave it time, maybe things would change between us." I let out a soft sigh, playing with the edge of my sleeve to avoid looking directly at him. "But they didn’t. Damon didn’t want anything more than... that."Michael leaned back, his eyes studying me closely. "And you wanted more.""Yeah," I admitted, biting my lip. "I wanted more. I wanted someone who saw me as more than just—" I

    The morning sun filtered through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over the room. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, mingling with the sizzling sound of eggs cooking on the stove. I stood by the counter, watching Michael move with effortless ease, his bare torso on full display, every muscle flexing as he worked."You're really going all out this morning," I teased, sipping my coffee as my eyes lingered on him.He glanced over his shoulder, a wicked grin curling his lips. "Gotta keep you fed after last night." His voice was low, smooth, but there was a familiar heat simmering beneath the playful tone.I set my cup down, stepping closer. My fingers trailed across his back, tracing the lines of his muscles, feeling the heat of his skin. He shivered under my touch, the tension in his body shifting from relaxed to something much more primal."You know," I murmured, pressing myself against him, "I think I'd rather have you for breakfast."Michael chuckled, setting the spatula d

    I wrapped my lips around his length, my tongue swirling around the tip before taking him deeper. His breath hitched, and a low groan escaped his lips as my head began to bob steadily, setting a slow, teasing rhythm.Michael's hand tangled in my hair, guiding me with a firm but gentle grip. "Fuck," he growled, his voice strained with barely controlled restraint. "Just like that…"I glanced up through my lashes, meeting his gaze. His eyes were dark, filled with desire and something more—something primal. The sight of him watching me, every muscle in his body taut with anticipation, sent a surge of heat through me.I took him deeper, the head of his cock brushing against the back of my throat. He let out a sharp hiss, his hips twitching forward, but I pulled back slightly, teasing him with shallow strokes, my lips gliding over his length."You’re going to drive me crazy," he groaned, his hand tightening in my hair.
