Damon's POVFuck!What have I done? I was about to screw my step daughter again. First time could be considered a mistake but then if it happens again, it's definitely not a mistake.I strolled all the way to my room, regretting my decision to come over despite everything.I should have stayed away.But how could I?My body reacted to everything about Rosette, the way she moves, her lips, her eyes. I was attracted to her whole body and soul.But this was so wrong.So damn wrong.Despite getting out of the shower, half an hour ago, I grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom again. I needed to blow off some steam and only a cold shower can do that for me.I turned the shower on as the cold water cascaded all over my body, as I closed my eyes all I could see was Rosette's face, the disappointment she had on her face made me extremely guilty.I shouldn't have pushed her into this and then I was taking it away just like that..I exhaled loudly while turning off the shower as I came to
Rosette POVAward of the most stupid teenager that ever existed, must go to me! I mean, who else?Because I mean, how much more stupid can I be? I groaned for the twentieth time while rolling on the bed.My stomach was rumbling on and on and I was famished, but I didn't want to go downstairs. I couldn't bear to stand with Damon in the same room anymore.As if the Lord heard my prayers, I heard the car sound coming from the garage and I shot out of the bed running to the window to see who it was.A sigh escaped my lips as I watched Damon drive out of the garage and it felt like a part of me had been taken away from me.It was a crazy feeling that I couldn't explain but one thing was for sure, I was completely relieved.With Damon gone, I found my way downstairs to the dining table where the box of pizza was waiting patiently for me, my stomach grumbled once again at the sight of it and a small chuckle escaped my lips.I dashed into the kitchen to get a plate when my phone beeped, and
Chapter 8: Damon’s POV “Suzie, everything will be fine, you just have to take it easy, okay?” I said comforting Susan.Few hours past noon, I was laying on the couch after responding to all my emails when Susan walked in, almost in tears. This was the first time in ages that Susan was returning back from work at that time. Immediately i rushed to her and she broke down in tears, turns out the deal she was working on didn’t pull through.“I put in so much work into this baby, so many sleepless nights, and now all my efforts are now in vain, what am I supposed to do?” she added, sobbing against my chest.“We will sort it out my love, we will figure it out so please stop crying now, i have told you before, you don't have to do all this, we can live comfortably and you don't have to work at all” I replied.“Damon what are you saying? You know my work is everything to me, I have built all this with my sweat, I can't step back now” Susan countered.Of course.Her work was her everythi
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
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
Rosette POV After an hour passed of thorough questioning and penning down statements, the officers promised to remain in touch with Damon, once the order was processed and for the meantime we were asked to restrict our movements.Damon walked the officers out of the house, while my mom picked up herself and headed upstairs, without saying a word to me. She didn't even spare me a glance and now I was starting to feel bad for everything I said earlier, even though a part of me knew that I couldn't blame her entirely for it, it just felt easier putting it all on her.I took a deep breath in, turning around when I met Damon, he was angry at me, as he crossed his arms over his chest."You need to stop Rose," he started."I....""You are hurting but you aren't the only one suffering, your mom isn't happy about this either and so you cannot continue with this attitude," he added again."I can't help but feel that way..." I countered."And I'm not saying your feelings aren't valid, all I'm
Rosette POV "I'm not making this an issue, it's not my fault that you are always on defense mode, you need to cut me some slack Rose, you went out this morning, without informing either of us and then you return with Damon, with takeouts, can't I ask questions?" Mom countered, her hands resting on her hips."Of course you can mom, but then when you... just forget it, can we go inside, there is something I need to discuss with you" I added instead.Arguing with Susan was pointless.We could never agree on something together.Our views were just so different and poles apart."Alright then, go in, I will join you" she said, looking away."Mom, can you please not do that right now? Okay I'm sorry, but this is important," I insisted."How important?""Ronan"At the mention of his name, my mom's hand dropped as she turned around, like she was in search of him."Ronan? Did you see him around here? Did he talk to you?""What are you talking about mom?" I asked, covering the distance between
Rosette POV "What are you doing?" The words slipped out of my mouth as I gripped the car seat tightly."Distracting you""Distracting me? From what exactly?" I asked, shivers running down my spine as Damon's hands moved up my thighs. And my legs? They fell open on their own.I was squirming hard on the car seat but then trying hard not to show it."You will get yourself distracted Damon, we are on the road for Christ sake!" I protested, hiding the smile that threatened to break out of my lips."Let me worry about that, right now my only focus is you, so spread those legs wider for me my sweet Rose, I want to feel you..." He said without taking his eyes off the road but for some reason I felt like he was watching me."Damon..." I whimpered as he pushed my panties aside, his thumb coming in contact with my clit."Hmmmm" he hummed in approval, stroking me, and then he plunged two fingers inside of me.My eyes flew open instantly, a loud moan escaped my lips, from the corner of my eyes I
Damon's POVOnce the meeting was over, I rushed back to the last office where Rose was waiting for me, and to my greatest surprise, she was asleep.The last few weeks have been hell for me. Not just me but us. A lot of mental and emotional stress coupled with that emptiness creeping in my heart.My eyes raked all over her body, taking her sleeping figure in as I memorized the image of her, storing it in the deepest part of my heart, so I can never forget.Just because, a part of me knows that she would always remain there.Last night, when we danced, I could see her eyes pleading with me not to end things, but what would be of me if I didn't?A cheat?A mother fucking backstabbing liar?Everything we have done so far was... forbidden and wrong.But then putting an end to it, felt so right.Too right.And so I made up my mind that no matter what happens, once the 100 day mark comes, I will go very far away from her. Before we destroy ourselves.I wanted to make these last moments in o
Rosette POV "I need to tell you something" I said barging into Damon's office."Sir, I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen and..." His secretary followed behind me.Instead of heading home, I changed my destination and came over to Damon's office.I remembered he told me that he was going to be here today for an important meeting and unfortunately that meeting was going on at the moment.My mouth fell open as my eyes danced around the men, or rather investors sitting around the table in their fancy daper suits."It's okay Jane, I will handle it" Damon said rising from his chair as he adjusted his suit without taking his eyes off me."I'm sorry I had no idea...I thought she was just trying to..." Before I could complete my statement, Damon grabbed my arm, placing a finger on his lips as I went silent."Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back" He said, pulling me out of the office.Once we were out, I found the courage to speak again, "Damon please, I didn't mean to ruin your
Rosette's POV.Ronan.It has to be him.My hands trembled as I took a step back in fear, my eyes darting around in search of him, but there was no one around other than regular students just like Rowland and I."Rose..Rose are you okay?" Rowland asked placing his hand on my shoulder."Yes" I managed to utter, but I was far from okay, I was suddenly so self aware as I continued looking around."So, what's the answer?" Rowland asked again."Can we leave here?" I countered, putting my phone back into the bag."Emm...is that like a yes?""No...that's like a we should leave now, we need to hurry" I answered grabbing his hands as I started walking fast."Rose..calm down" Rowland called after me but I didn't stop, I kept pulling him and just as we got to the gate he suddenly stopped."Come on Rowland, this is important please..." I said, turning to face him."You know I would go anywhere with you right? But I have a class and I cannot miss it" Rowland stated, taking me by surprise."You have
Rosette POV "Rosee" my name left his lips, he was completely surprised on seeing me there."Hi Rowland" I replied, trying to be as polite as possible, without stopping, the last thing I needed right now was a heated conversation of any sort.Especially not with Rowland.Just as I walked past him, he caught my arm, we were still in the professor's office and so I couldn't react."Please Rose, can we talk?" He asked with a small smile on his face, so that the professor doesn't suspect anything."We have nothing to talk about please" I replied, placing my hand over his as I stylishly removed his hand."You don't have to do this Rose, you know...""Is everything okay Rose? Rowland you can come in, I have been waited for you" the professor interrupted saving me unknowingly."Everything is fine, I will take your leave now" I answered before he could speak up and then I walked out of the office.I sighed, feeling relieved as I walked out of the building, I know avoiding an issue is never th
Rosette's POV After our little romantic dance in the sitting room, Damon and I found ourselves in the kitchen.While I refilled my water bottle, Damon munched on some snacks, there were lots of papers over the counter top, his glasses and his laptop."Can I ask you something?" "Sure""Is everything okay with you? I mean with work and all, you have been way too busy and engaged with it recently so..."Damon sighed, taking a deep breath as he dropped the bowl of chips in his hands, "Actually work is crazy but there's nothing you should be worried about" "Well, it's just that I have never seen you work so hard and you look worried mostly" I pointed out.Damon forced a smile as he walked closer to me, "I will handle everything, and that's enough about me, what are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked, tracing my cheeks with his thumb."Well...I was going to drop by at school, start my registration for the next semester and after that, mom and I are going to the dentist" I answered."Hmm
