Damon's POV."You..." I stuttered, turning to face Susan as she closed the distance between us. Fuck no. What do I say to Susan now? All the hairs on my body stood as she moved closer to me. "You are here? It's strange," she added again, without taking her eyes off me. I felt like she was scanning my face, waiting for me to make a mistake. "Em, I was passing, and I noticed the door was left open, and then I got curious to see what her setup looks like. It's nothing serious," the words slipped out of my mouth as I started moving toward the door before Susan could throw another question, but then she caught up with me. "Can I ask you something, Damon?" "Do I have a choice?" I threw back at her, my tone sounding harsh. "Damon..." "You can ask whatever it is you want to," I added again. "Tell me, have you ever been in here before?" Susan demanded. "What?" "I mean, is this your first time being in Rose's room?" She asked again. What do I say? "Yes, that is exactly why I was curi
Chapter 10Rosette POV"Rose...?" "Yes, it's me, why are you so surprised to see me?" I threw back at him while drinking in his entire body.But Damon wasn't reacting, almost like he was frozen and couldn't move.I clicked my tongue taking a step forward and it pulled Damon back to earth."You shouldn't be here, what are you doing here?" He asked again, as he turned off the shower.A small chuckle escaped my lips as I crossed my arms over my chest while leaning on the door."What's the hurry?" I asked, referring to the way he grabbed the towel."Are you out of your mind Rose?""Out of my mind? You know I have seen you, I mean I have had you in me, nearly twice, you don't have to be shy step daddy" I drawled out.I know I wasn't supposed to be flirting with him, not after he drew a line, but I couldn't help it.Damon was acting all tense and I expected he would reply to my tease but then he just tried to hide the phone."I want to see," I demanded."What are you talking about?" Damon
Rosette's POV"You are the one I love, Rose. I cannot be your mother anymore; I want to be with you all my life," Damon said to me, taking my hands with tears in his eyes."What are you saying, D?" I asked, my voice shaking; I was literally trembling."You heard me, Rose. I cannot continue to lie to your mother, and I do not want to stay away from you any longer. I want you, Rose; I need you in my life," Damon added again.The rate at which my heart was beating felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Damon was professing his love for me. But what will happen to my mother? She will be heartbroken beyond words; I wouldn't be able to do that to her. She is my mother, for goodness' sake, and I know how crazy she is about Damon."Please... I can't do this, Damon; I'm sorry," I whispered, and then he kissed me.Instantly, my eyes shot open, and I sat upright, placing a hand on my chest to calm my racing heart, but it wasn't working."Damon," I muttered as my eyes adjusted to the da
Rosette's POVI grabbed a box of juice and cookies from the fridge before walking out of the house. Damon was already in the car, waiting for me. I was surprised that, despite my reaction earlier, he still insisted on driving me to school. He was really fulfilling his role as my DADDY. Sighs.I got into the car, and within minutes, we were on the highway. The silence was thick and uncomfortable as I kept my gaze fixed outside, trying to find this pathetic city attractive."Rose, you know we don't have to do this, right?" Damon started, breaking the silence in the car."Do what?" I asked in response."It's your birthday, for goodness' sake, and it looks like we are mourning. We should be happy; I mean, you should be happy and full of smiles," Damon added with a smile on his face, but he didn't take his eyes off the road.I was still trying to process his words. How could he switch up so easily? I literally gave him an attitude, and then I acted cold towards him, and yet he was still
Damon's POV.It's almost six and neither Susan nor her tempting daughter Rose was yet to arrive.She made me pull off this entire surprise party for Rosette but now she wasn't here and she wasn't taking her calls either.Work was taking a toll on her and I just wanted her to feel better, that is why I agreed to execute the whole plans she has for the party as long as she shows up, but now, I doubt she will be able to.She was supposed to be here by morning but then I got no call from her nor did I see her. I only lied to Rose to cover up so she doesn't get mad at her mom but she kept acting in a strange way.She even made me promise not to leave her mother and I couldn't help but wonder what the reason could be.I tried calling Susan one more time and it went straight to voicemail.A sigh escaped my lips as I scanned the entire living room taking in the mini decorations I was able to pull out.The cake was ready, Pizza, and all of Rosette's favorite cookies and chocolates. I wanted Ro
Damon POV“Rose” I called out while knocking on her door. Both Mother and daughter were both pissed for different reasons but i wanted this day to be special for Rose even though her mother couldn’t be here.And I was determined to make it happen, afterall i have already given my word to Susan and I will have to do it.“Listen Rose, open up we need to talk” I added, Just as i was about to knock on the door, the door opened revealing Rose’s teary face.“Hey” the word slipped out of my mouth which was the wrongest thing to say.“Hey you too” Rose replied with a smile on her face as she opened the door even wider, it was an invitation for me to step in.And I gladly took it. I will do anything to be in her space for a solid twenty fours or always. Her vanilla~lavendar scent calmed me in a different way.“I shouldn’t have reacted that way, I’m sorry, I just couldnt hold it anymore” Rose started pulling me out of my thoughts as she walked back to her bed which was quite messy.“I understand
Rosette's POV"You know what? Forget it, I don't need anything now but that doesn't mean you don't owe me, I will ask for a gift when I think of something " I answered."Are you sure about that?" Damon asked."Yes, tell me something else Damon" I demanded and at that same moment, the waiter returned with our order.He was a fine young man and he had the Italian features written all over him. It was obvious he was trying to flirt with me especially with the way his eyes lingered on me and I was responding just to spite Damon.Riling him up and watching him fight for control has to be my favorite thing to do."I hope you enjoy your meal" The waiter said while flashing a smile at me."I'm sure we will, thank you so much" I added in response and then he left."I just hope it tastes as good as it looks, I would hate to disappoint my taste buds" I said inhaling the aroma of the meal."Well, I hope it's as salty as you want it to be," Damon replied curtly.My lips curled into a smile as I tr
Rosette's POV.Immediately the words left my mouth, I regretted it. Damon constantly drew the line over and over again but I was too stubborn to accept it.Or rather I am just too stupid to accept the fact that this man doesn't want me. But why does his body say otherwise?I trailed my eyes all over his body picking onto the evidence that Damon wanted me.Probably much more than I want him.Throughout the evening his eyes never left my body and I noticed it all, the way his finger clenched and his Adam apple bobbed constantly.A bulge was already forming in his pants and it had my entire attention, before he walked away."Please Damon, we don't have to go all the way, I just want to feel the way I did that night" I added again in a whisper with his back facing me.Damon ran his hand through his hair, while taking two deep breaths as he faced me once again."What has gotten into you Rose?" He questioned, his voice low and angry."I don't care if it's just a one time thing, this is all
Rosette's POV"What did you just say?" Damon threw back at me, his eyes wide open as his gaze fell down to my stomach.It was now or never."I have been feeling a bit funny for the past few days and so I decided to go get drugs to subside the fever and I ended up taking a pregnancy test and it's positive" I answered, skipping the whole part on how the sales clerk and I had to drag over the meds and all.And at the same time, I opened my bag, brought out the stick and placed it on the table.So he could see it.And the next thing Damon broke into a sadistic laughter as he reached out for the stick, shaking his head as he brought it closer."I don't understand how any of this is funny to you" I stated, my brows furrowing."It's not? Cause I never imagined in my life that you would stoop so low, what are you trying to achieve with this Rosette?" He countered, with a dismissive tone."What?" I gasped, holding the edge of the table tightly as I tried to process his vile words."This... You
Rosette’s POVCrying wouldn't change the fact that I was pregnant right? But it could give Damon and I a chance to be together.I know I sound delusional, and it was unexpected but the deed has been done and there is nothing else that I can do about it.So I picked myself up and headed to Damon's office.He needed to know this truth. And even if he wanted to deny his feelings for me, he would never be able to deny the child I'm carrying for him.I didn't mean to get pregnant, but I guess that's what happens when you have a dozen rounds of unprotected sex and I forgot to keep up with my pills.I was nervous. Tensed. And scared. So scared.I never saw this coming, I never wanted it but my pregnancy was about to change everything.Damon and I could hide and play around right under my mother's nose, but I wouldn't be able to hide pregnancy forever. I gripped the hem of my dress tightly, the tiny bit of happiness growing inside of me disappeared instantly.If this revelation should come
DAMON’S POVI have never been addicted to drugs or the other kinds, yet I found myself suffering the fate of one in withdrawal. Withdrawal from the woman that made me feel whole. Even though I didn't realize it until now. I couldn't stop thinking about her. “I love you Damon” Her sweet voice resounded in my head, over and over again. It was a statement, a fact that we both couldn't deny but I did. I walked away from her love, over and over again. What sort of man would walk away from his marriage and settle for the daughter of the woman he married? I didn't want to be that kind of guy.Not when Susan needed me more than ever. I made a decision to suppress every ounce of emotion I had towards Rose, even though I knew I was hurting her, but I was hurting more. The need to see her, hold her and just feel her kept growing inside of me every single day and yet there was nothing I could do. She avoided me like a plague and then I found a way to convince myself that it was for the best
Rosette POV One week passed and I didn't feel better.Not even a single bit.I buried myself with the challenging courses I picked up for the semester and even when my mom saw the course form, cause I need her signature for it, she queried my decision.But then I assured her I could do it. I need to do it. For the past week I fell into a routine.My bed, the kitchen, college till the evening and my bed again till the next day. I had all my meals in my room, avoiding Damon and my mom not that they were even home. it's been one date night after another for them and they were just in their own bubbles.But then I couldn't hide forever. Lately I have been having night fevers, that just seems to disappear in the morning. At first I thought it was because of how much I had cried but then yesterday after the last class, I was heading towards the library, I was dizzy and almost tripped down the stairs but someone caught me.So I decided to get some drugs to probably take care of the fever.
Rosette's POV I spent the last two days of my freaking holiday, crying, sobbing and grieving over my relationship with Damon.For some reason I just couldn't get that way he looked at me in the kitchen off my head, like I was throwing myself at him, even though I was. But it has always been our thing and we have been effortlessly shameless about it not until now.Reality dawned on me and it sure did sting like a bitch.For the past thirty hours, no one even bothered to look out for me, I was Damon found ways to keep my mother preoccupied so she doesn't see me in this state with no explanation to give or whatsoever.So indirectly, he was saving us. And that was great.I decided to tear my pathetic self out of the bed, shower, put my room together and then sort out my clothes for tomorrow.After forty hours of crying and sobbing, I decided to put myself together, there was no need crying over split milk, even though I would have preferred if Damon and I ended things on a lighter note.
Rosette's POV "What do you mean by it's over?" Clara probed further."Don't worry about the details really, it's not of any significant importance what country are you travelling to?" I asked in response, changing the directive of the question."Oh..we are taking a quick stop in Italy, and I don't know, we will decide on something when we get there" Clara answered, pouting her lips."Really? I love that for you""Thank you,"We spent the next two hours, talking about the town and the people, while Clara filled me in on some crazy stuff that happened in her past relationships, my mind kept drifting back to Damon."So school starts in two days right?""Yes, excited for another semester" I replied."You don't sound excited," Clara pointed out.My lips broke into a small smile as I wiped my mouth with the napkin."Trust me, I'm. It's going to be a lengthy lonely ride, and it's no big deal" I added, trying to sound as convincing as ever.There is no Caleb..No Rowland.No best friend.Jus
Rosette's POV "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Damon asked, his hands roaming all over my body."Yes, I want this" I answered,. nodding my head, as he pushed me back slightly and then he stood in front of me.His eyes hooded with lust and desire, my heart skipped a beat as I swallowed hard, spreading my legs before him."Rosette..." He drawled out, raking his eyes all over me and then his gaze settled on one of the toys and then he picked the clamps."The lights" I muttered, without taking my eyes off him."Ashamed?" He threw back at me."No... just"""I want to see all of you in the light, are you going to back out?" He challenged, undoing the buttons of his shirt.On seeing his hard chest and perfect abs, my mouth watered as the desire to run my hands all over his chest, filled me and a slight whimper escaped my lips.As if on cue, Damon smiled as he proceeded to pull down his pants dragging it slowly on the intent of teasing me."Never took you for such a tease" I pointed ou
Damon's POV A fucking invitation.I raised my glass of whiskey downing it in one single gulp. The fear of the end that I wasn't prepared for was close, so close and we both knew it would end.I mean a hundred days, it's a definite number of days.A loud sigh escaped my lips as I threw my head back, fixing my gaze on the ceiling.After this night, I wonder if I would be able to commit myself in my relationship with Susan.Last night.The last night is finally here and now I'm chickening out and it isn't supposed to be this way.I took a deep breath and reached out for the bottle when it struck me. I couldn't afford to get drunk, not on this night. I need to be in my full senses and in control.Always in control.I released my hold on the bottle as I stood up from the chair, my eyes staring at the staircase, and before I could think of anything else, I was already on the stairs - on my way to her.Immediately I pushed the door open, I heard soft whimpers, coming from under the blanke
Rosette POV"Are you busy?" I asked softly, closing the door behind me. "No, you have my attention" my mom answered, throwing her legs out of the bed.After grabbing my snacks from downstairs, instead of heading to my room I decided to drop by and check on my mom.Luckily for me, I didn't have to knock because the door was slightly open and when I peeped in, she caught me and asked me to come in."I just wanted to apologize for everything" I started, fixing my eyes on the floor."Will you ever get tired of hating me?" She threw back at me instead.Immediately my eyes widened, "I don't hate you" the words slipped out of my mouth."You don't?""Mom...""Will I ever be that to you and truly be it? Every second our relationship takes a step forward, something comes up and we take three steps backwards, it's exhausting" she added again.This time around, she was so right. I was teary, but didn't want to show it so I wiped the corner of my eyes stylishly."I don't want us to keep going ba
