Chapter 7. Cufflink
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We were so close I could see the flecks in his grey eyes. All I wanted to do was fit my mouth to his, it was more than a compulsion, I felt obsessed by his lips.
By the way his thumb felt on my lips, I wondered if he was feeling the same things I was.
Was it possible?
My body felt out of control, I could even hear a ringing in my head.
Wait a sec…
He dislodged me a little and started patting his pockets searching for something.
Oh, it wasn’t in my brain, it was his phone ringing.
Damn I was out of it.
I tried to get up off him to give him some space but he stopped me with one hand while he shook his head and picked up the call with one hand.
I couldn’t concentrate on his conversation with the person on the other end.
I was looking at his arm, the one holding the phone to his ear, one of his cufflinks had come undone leaving his arm with drops of water clinging to it.

His Favorite Flavor Chapter 8. A Week
I quickly changed into the sweats and realized he’d been right, they really were too big for me. I was folding up the bottoms of the sweatpants into some way where they would fit me at least a little better when there was a knock on the bedroom door and Damien came in. He stopped just inside the door and stared at me. I quickly looked at myself… Was I wearing the hoodie backwards? What was wrong? He slowly walked over, an expression on his face I couldn’t read. “Am I wearing it wrong?” I was confused. “On the contrary, you’re wearing it just right. I would say perfect even.” He came over to me then and gently taking each one of my hands in his, folded the sleeve up to my wrists. “You know I’ve never really worn this pair of sweats before, I thought it just wasn’t my color” He said casually. “Why did you buy it then?” I asked “I didn’t.. It was sent to me.” “Oh, I’ll get it back to y

I was speechless with shock, so much that I couldn’t even get my breath back enough to say goodbye to the handsome doctor. Just what in the hell was this man thinking? I couldn’t even comprehend the amount of things that had been wrong in that statement he had uttered to the doctor. First the words themselves.. What did it mean that I was staying here the entire week? How was that in any way, reality or fantasy even possible? His reality, probably my forbidden fantasy but I didn’t want to go into that. I was embarrassed of my own behavior. I didn’t know him, he didn’t know me. We didn’t know each other. And the way he had said it, so casually to the good doctor. As if.. As if.. My imagination led on from there.. As if I lived here regularly, as if being here was a common thing. As if I belonged in this home, as if I belonged in his bed, as if I belonged in his life. As if we were lovers and had been for
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 10. A Mess
He smiled, he knew he’d won the war so he could afford to be generous, “I will be taking the guest room but if for some reason you don’t like my room, we can shift you over to the guestroom. Do you want to walk or be carried?”I knew when I was in over my head and this was one of those situations. He had effectively trapped me by giving me a choice, because he knew I wouldn’t want to be carried anywhere.Not because I didn’t like it but precisely because my traitor body liked it too damn much.I let out a breath, “No this room is fine with me if it’s okay with you, giving up your room, your bed.”“So what do you propose? That I give up my room but not my bed? How?” There was a gleam in his eyes. Was he suggesting that I was suggesting that we share a bed? Yikes!“I’m not proposing anything Mr. Flynn,” I said defensively. I’d called him that on purpose, I wante
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 11. Mari
Did nothing ruffle the man? Was he always this calm and put together? Did he feel anything at all when he looked at me or was I just one of his charity cases?Maybe he did this kind of a thing often, pick up random people off the street and help those in need.Rich people did need a hobby too right? Maybe he was a philanthropist..And just how much free time did he have that he was always around. How did he support this ostentatious lifestyle?Oh God, I thought. What if he wasn’t a businessman at all? What if he was something more sinister?What if he did something illegal? A drug dealer? Mafia boss? Smuggler?Oh Lord, what had I gotten myself into? I was panicking now and Damien was looking at me with a curious expression. Maybe he could sense my anxiety because he didn’t say anything or offer to help me. He just stared at me.I would have to find out somehow. Maybe I could look around his room, but that couldn’t be

I let out the breath I was holding as a huge load fell off my shoulders. Now I just had to prepare for the minefield of question that Maria would bring with her tomorrow. I hated how I knew some of the questions and yet I was ignoring them because I didn’t have an answer myself and I was scared of what I would find if I looked too close at my own feelings.For now, it was enough that I’d told Maria, I’d deal with the rest when the time came.I kept the cell phone on the nightstand and looked up to find Damien lounging in the doorway looking like he had been there a while. I bit my lip and wondered just how much he’d heard.I tried to decipher his expression but I couldn’t make out anything. I was being paranoid, he couldn’t have heard anything.“Thanks for charging my phone, I talked to my friends.” He didn’t need to know I’d only talked to one friend. The only one who was like a sister to me.

“You were eaves dropping on me?” Oh God! He'd heard everything.I wasn't Marie, I didn't know how to magically come up with a quick save!“Not by design” he said, “I just happened to come by at the right moment.”“You mean wrong moment.” I groaned and hid my face behind my hands. “You should know that you shouldn’t take anything I say to Mari seriously. She’s.. overdramatic, so I have to, you know be really overdramatic too, just to counteract that.. I really didn’t mean it..”I peeked up at him and he didn’t look at all angry.He just opened the tub of ice cream and dipped his spoon in, “You can keep hiding behind your hands while I’ll enjoy the ice cream.” he said.“You mean you aren’t angry at me?” I asked tentatively.“Why would I be angry?”“Oh,” I was confused.I let down my ha
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 14. Dream
I twisted once more, trying to get comfortable in the big empty bed. I wasn’t used to such a big bed, it seemed strangely lonely when I had so much space to myself.Did he always sleep alone here? I wondered.I knew the answer to that one, he definitely didn’t.He was so hot, there must be a lot of women willing and eager to sleep with him should he just snap his fingers.I painted a comic in my head where hot models with long legs who flipped their hair and had tons of attitude just dropped their panties when they saw him coming. Panties dropping left, right and center.Pathetic. I was pathetic. Anyone with half a spine would have already come onto him, kissed Damien and then whatever would have happened, would be fate.But I just wasn’t built that way. In my whole 23 years of existence, I’d never tried even flirting with a man, not just because I’d been too busy working and studying but also because I’d
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 15. D.A.F.
There was a door leading off from the washroom that I’d been curious about for some time and after the housekeeper had escorted me to the washroom, I was impatient to find out what was behind it. I could either take a chance, snoop around today or I could wait until my foot healed to give it a try.It wouldn’t be easy with my busted up foot to play spy but what if I didn’t get the chance again?Oh Lord, it was so tempting. It could be locked though..I bit my lip as I turned the lock. Hah, it wasn’t locked.I almost gave a cry of alarm as the lights automatic turned on.Shit, wow… So this is how the other half lived.The entire room had been turned into a walk in closet the likes of which I had only ever seen in magazines, I was awestruck.I slowly made my way inside walking on the plush grey carpet in the room. It was so clean that it gave me the creeps. No shirts strewn about, no shoes on the floor, no

“What?” I looked at her in confusion, had she just said what I thought she’d said? “An arranged marriage? What do you mean an arranged marriage?”“Just what you heard!” Mari replied and sped up as we got near her place.I was struck dumb as I put aside all my problems to focus on Mari’s problem, an arranged marriage in this age? What were her parents thinking?“But Mari, we’re not in the dark ages anymore.. maybe you misunderstood your parents..” I said hesitantly as she parked her car.She gave me a murderous look and without saying a word, banged out of the car. I winced and slowly got out thinking about the huge bombshell she had dropped on me.Mari was like a free bird, not ruled by anything, fears or uncertainties. She had always lived a charmed, cushioned life, never faced any problems or gone through any tragedies as I had and so she had flourished.I had never be

It was Baron. I heaved out a sigh of relief as I saw Baron hesitantly come into the room.Damien tilted his head and just stared at Baron and no joke, he looked scary.Poor Baron just stared at me and Damien and then back at me. I tried not to fidget or fix my clothes but it was hard with the silence.I guess Baron was waiting for me to speak but I refused to say anything because he had no right to come barging in here like this and I was pretty sure he had come here to check on me. he didn’t have a good reason for this interruption.I hadn’t wanted this interruption; I had wanted to be kissed by Damien instead. To be taken by him against the door. I felt hot just thinking about him and me in here, on his desk, on the chair, on the sofa.“Yes? How can I help you today Mr. Hoffman,” Damien asked him finally as Baron said nothing and the silence continued to lengthen.“I..I came here to talk to Seline, I mean info
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 45. Desperate
I watched Seline walk away from me and after Professor Flynn and I was afraid for her. What if I had put her in trouble because of my stupid attempt at taking her out of the class.Shit. I thought and followed behind her maintaining a distance so I would know which office they were heading to.Both of them entered the room and the door closed. Seline had looked remarkably calm and even as if she had been expecting the professor to call her out.But Seline was too good, she probably thought she really had made a mistake by disturbing his class.The prick.Why did he have to act so high and mighty as if what he taught was so fucking important to our lives. Who even needed his advice on running a business? He just liked to brag about how much of a big hotshot CEO he was. If he was such a big thing, why was he teaching?Huh, I could brag about my family business better than him and I hadn’t ever even spent a day working there.It wa

Class was almost over and the lecture was finished. Some of the students had already left but a few of the girls had gathered around Damien. Now I could see what Mari had meant when she’d said that most of the girls had a crush on the new professor.Well obviously, he was hot as hell. That’s how he had fooled me as well.Oh God, I was dating a professor and it was a secret relationship.How had I gotten into this mess?Shit..Could I tell my friends?I didn’t know, I needed to talk to him first.Mari hadn’t noticed anything strange about me but she had been a bit distracted by a call she had received from her mother and had rushed out right after class to talk to her. I wondered if everything was alright.“So why does he want to see you?” Baron asked me gesturing at Damien who was still surrounded by his fandom.I shrugged, “I don’t know, might be because I didn’t att
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 43. Cold
I was equal parts angry and shocked, unable to decide if I should keep staring at him or to look down at my notebook. I didn’t even know what Damien was teaching, I was so confused.Whenever I looked at him, I kept looking until I had to tell myself to stop. It felt strange to watch him talk to the class and know that I had kissed those lips, those hands had pulled me closer.It made class so distracting.I didn’t know how to behave, how to sit, how to write..I didn’t remember ever being this nervous before.But in all of this, Damien was calm cool and collected. It should have affected him too, I thought irritably. My being in the room should affect him too.I was glad I wasn’t sitting next to Mari today, she was at the other end of the aisle and we hadn’t been able to get seats together because of the stunt I’d pulled midway.Baron wasn’t as in tune with my feelings as Mari and he merely th

I turned back the way I had come in and slammed right into Mari.“Whoa, what’s wrong Seline?” she caught my arms and steadied me before I could move past her and out the door.I couldn’t think clearly, “I..need to go out Mari, to the bathroom, I forgot something.”“You forgot something in the bathroom?” Mari asked me as I moved past her but I didn’t answer. My head was spinning as I took deep breaths to think clearly.Back in the hallway leading towards the classes, I tried to make sense of my reality.Damien?Damien was my professor? He was the new professor? How was that possible?How? And why hadn’t he said anything?Suddenly I remembered his words in the text, ‘See you in the morning.’ and then his words last night, that I’d find out tomorrow whether or not he told me.This is what he meant.THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT?!I suddenly

Mari was surprised to see me back so early, “Didn’t I just talk to you about meeting us for dinner or something, don’t tell me the plan is off?”I didn’t know what to say or how to explain what had happened.“What happened Seline?” she looked concerned now. I twisted my fingers and thought of where to start.“Mari, he’s hiding something.” I sat down on the bed, most of my anger had drained at this point and I was just confused now.Mari came and sat down next to me, putting her arm around my shoulders, “How do you know that?”“He told me himself.” I told her, “but he didn’t tell me what it is that he’s hiding from me.”“Hold on, so you came back without asking him what it was?”“Well, he refused to tell me until and unless I stayed the night. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?” I looked at Mari.
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 40. Secret
I felt a frisson of alarm move through me at his words, what did he mean?What was he hiding from me?I should have known. I should have known.He was just too good to be true. My instincts had told me before he could tell me.I wondered what he was hiding and how big an impact it would have on me.I stared at his face, unable to comprehend what he was saying or what I should do now.And why now? What was the relevance of this moment.Did it have anything to do with my friends coming over? Why?I was silent for a minute, trying to get my disjointed thoughts to form a single sentence that would make sense. Damien waited patiently as if he had all the time in the world.“Are you hiding something from me?” I asked finally, scared of his answer.He took one of my hands in his, “It’s not as serious as you think but this secret will require your trust in me, in us. Which is why I’m asking y
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 39. Strange Behavior
There was a devil on one shoulder and an angel on my other shoulder because my thoughts were conflicted as hell. On the one hand I wanted him to be joking and on the other hand I wanted to strip off this shirt and call him up on his challenge. It was maddening. I stared up at him from beneath my lashes trying to guess if he was serious. He was waiting too for what I would do, call his bluff or brush it off? My phone rang in the middle of our silent war and the spell was broken. I took a shuddery breath and moved to pick it up while Damien took his coffee to the breakfast table. It was Mari. “Rise and shine Babe,” she chimed as I picked up the phone. “Good morning to you too,” I laughed as I turned to make my own coffee, light and sweet. “I don’t know about my morning but I’m sure yours was pretty good..” I could hear the curiosity in her voice. I laughed and Damien looked up, “Well have I guessed correctly?” she asked m
