Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex The Gala
Before I knew it, it was time for the gala. Yas was helping me get dressed. Yasmeen was a whirlwind of energy, running around my room as I stood in front of the mirror, trying to calm my nerves. She was tugging at the straps of my dress, adjusting the fabric, and muttering about my hair while I stared at myself, unsure of what I was seeing.“Girl, you’re going to knock them dead tonight,” she said with a grin, stepping back to survey her handiwork. She had me in a deep red, floor-length gown that clung to my curves and accentuated every inch of my body. My hair was swept into soft waves, and my makeup was flawless, as always, though I felt a little exposed. As Yasmeen handed me my clutch, I took one last look in the mirror, adjusting the strap of my dress and trying to steady my breathing. I felt like I was about to step onto a stage, but I pushed the nerves aside. Tonight was about me.“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Yasmeen asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she ga

“I want to show you something, okay?” Damon’s voice was soft but insistent as he took my hand, his touch warm and firm. Without waiting for my reply, he began leading me away from the crowded ballroom, weaving us through the throng of people and up a secluded staircase. My heart raced, unsure of what he was planning.We stepped out onto a private balcony, the cool night air brushing against my skin. The view was breathtaking. The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silvery glow over the city below. The faint hum of the gala was distant now, leaving us in an intimate, quiet space. Damon turned to me, his gaze intense, his dark eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite place.“You’re stunning,” he murmured, his voice low and reverent, as though the words were meant only for the night to hear. “Damon...” I started, but the way he was looking at me made my words falter. It wasn’t just desire—it was admiration, adoration even, and it left me feeling exposed in a way I hadn’t expected

Damon excused himself, offering a quick kiss on my temple before disappearing into the crowd to mingle with the guests. Left on my own, I decided to make my way to the bar for a drink. The buzz of conversation surrounded me, but I felt oddly disconnected from it all.I reached for a glass of champagne, the coolness of the stem grounding me, when I felt someone’s presence nearby. Turning slightly, my breath hitched—it was Michael. He was standing just a few feet away, alone, nursing a whiskey.Our eyes met, and for a moment, neither of us said anything. His expression was unreadable, though the tension between us was undeniable. I hesitated, debating whether to say something or walk away, but Michael beat me to it.“Arya,” he said, his tone flat, but there was an edge of something deeper beneath it—hurt, anger, or maybe regret.“Michael,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “Enjoying the gala?”He let out a humorless laugh, taking a sip of his drink. “As much as one can, I suppo

A few weeks had passed since everything happened, and I was thankful that I had space and time to think. I texted Damon if I could come over, and he agreed. I made up my mind on what I wanted to do. I was going to tell Damon how I felt about him. I was in love with him. I knew our relationship was supposed to be fake but I fell in love with him. When I arrived at his place, he was sitting on the bed texting on his phone."Hey cutie." He winked as I sat down. "There is something I have to talk to you about." I said and he grew serious."What's going on?" He asked."Well I don't know how to say this so I will just come out about it." I took a deep breath. "I am in love with you."Damon’s playful smirk faded, his expression shifting into something unreadable. He set his phone down on the nightstand, leaning back slightly as he looked at me, his brows furrowing.For a moment, there was silence, and I wished the ground would swallow me whole.“You’re... in love with me?” he repeated, h
Last Updated : 2024-11-27Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Drinking.....again
I sat at the bar, the glass of whiskey in my hand almost empty as I swirled the amber liquid. The low hum of conversations around me blended with the soft jazz playing in the background, but none of it registered. I was too lost in my own thoughts. I took another sip, the burn of the alcohol doing little to numb the ache in my chest. Damon. His name echoed in my mind like a haunting refrain, each memory of him a reminder of how foolish I had been to let myself fall. I signaled the bartender for another drink, my fingers drumming anxiously on the polished wood of the bar. I just wanted to forget. To drown the heartbreak, the rejection, and the painful reminder that I had been nothing more than a distraction to him. As the bartender slid a fresh drink in front of me, I downed it quicker than I should have, ignoring the fire it ignited in my throat. The alcohol was supposed to dull the pain, but it only seemed to sharpen it, each sip dragging me further into the spiral of emotions I w

“This is so insane,” I muttered under my breath as I walked down the quiet street, my heart still racing from the night I’d just left behind. I couldn’t believe it. I slept with Michael. Again.I needed air. I needed space. I needed Yas.Without thinking twice, I pulled out my phone and called her. She picked up on the second ring.“Hey, girl!” Yasmeen’s bright, familiar voice rang through, instantly grounding me. “What’s up? You okay?”I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “No, I’m not okay. Can you pick me up?”Her tone shifted immediately. “Of course. Where are you?”I rattled off Michael’s address, hoping she wouldn’t catch on too quickly. But Yas was sharp, and she knew me too well.“Wait… Michael’s place? Arya, don’t tell me—”“Just come get me,” I cut her off, my voice cracking slightly. “Please.”“On my way.”The wait felt like an eternity, but soon enough, Yasmeen’s car pulled up to the curb. I climbed in, sinking into the passenger seat, my mind still swirling with emotion

Once again, reality hit me like a slap in the face as I saw Lana walking toward Michael. I had no idea he was on work already. Lana's confident stride and perfect smile reminded me exactly where I stood—or didn’t stand—with him.“Michael,” she called out, her voice smooth and sweet, like she hadn’t just interrupted my moment of clarity.He turned toward her, a small smile forming on his face—one I hadn’t seen in a while. A pang of something sharp hit my chest, and I hated how much it bothered me. After everything, why did I still care?Lana looped her arm around his effortlessly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Ready to go?” she asked, completely ignoring me as if I didn’t exist.Michael’s eyes flicked toward me for a brief moment, but his expression remained unreadable. “Yeah,” he said simply, his tone cool and distant.And just like that, they walked away together, leaving me standing there, feeling invisible, forgotten, and painfully aware of how little space I

I shook my head, trying to steady my breath, though I could still feel the adrenaline coursing through me. "No, not really... but he tried. He grabbed me, Yas. He—he threatened me. Said he was going to make me pay for what I did with you and your sister."Yasmeen’s eyes widened with horror, her face going pale as she stepped closer. "I’m so sorry, Arya. I should’ve warned you. But this—this is insane. I had no idea he would go this far. I—"I cut her off, taking a shaky breath. "It’s not your fault. He’s just—he’s a sick person, Yas. I was just… I was just trying to protect you."She knelt beside me, her hands shaking as she helped me sit up. "What can I do? Should I call the police? Or—"I wiped my face with the back of my hand, trying to keep my composure. "I don't know. I just—I'm so done with this. With him, with everything."Yasmeen looked at me, her expression softening. "We’ll figure this out. You’re safe now, okay? You don’t have to do this alone." She pulled me into a hug, he

Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Acting Strange
"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
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex A Mess
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,
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Please Don't
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
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
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Surprises
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
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Next Level
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
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex You're For Breakfast
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
Dark Temptations: Falling For My Ex Want
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. His other hand gripped the edge of the bed, knuckles white as he fought f
