Chapter 4

Raven woke up the next morning and all the memories came back to her and she realized what had happened last night. 

She felt her heartbeat was faster than usual when she woke up in the morning. She felt rested as it was her day off. 

There was a knock on the door, and Raven went to get it. 

"We are having a get-together by the swimming pool. If you want to come." 

"I will be right there," Raven replied.

Raven changed into her bikini, took her phone, towel and made her way to the swimming area, the pool was enormously large. 

The view was spectacular and she could not believe the view that came with it. She was very impressed. 

Her breath hitched when she saw Damien there but he was seated amongst two other girls who were laughing and touching him all over.

Raven could not believe what she was seeing, of course, he got what he wanted and what was she expecting. 

She was clay in his hands. Raven couldn't believe that she was seething with jealousy over a man that she barely knew and met properly a couple of days ago.

She kept her cool and took one of the empty lounge chairs that were far from him. She covered her face with the towel she bought. 

The sun felt amazing and after a whole week of being coupled up in the kitchen and her roo, this was very much welcome. 

She closed her eyes, 

"Raven. Raven." 

Raven opened her eyes, she had fallen asleep. She took off the towel from her eyes and found Damien seated there next to her. She wondered what he wanted. 

"Yes?" 

"Here I bought some sunscreen, you will have a severe sunburn at this rate," Damien replied.

Raven nodded, "I see, thank you." 

Raven took the sunscreen and started to spread it all over, she saw Damien laugh. 

"What?" 

"Let me help you. You look like a snowman." Damien replied. He took the sunscreen bottle and squeezed some on his hands. He sat behind her, his legs on either side of her and he started applying it on her naked back.

Raven tried not to move or think about anything weird, but his hands felt nice on the small of her back. 

When he was done he handed her the bottle, "My turn." 

Raven took the bottle and she wondered what he was playing at? She squeezed some and applied it to his back. He let out a growl which made Raven become hot all over. 

His skin felt smooth and it was nice to feel his toned back. He really must work out a lot. Raven realized that they were so many eyes on them.

The other girls were staring intently. When she was done she told him and he grinned at her and got up. 

Raven saw that he was going in the direction of the house, the other girls came running to her and sat around her. She wondered what was going on?

"Have you and Damien also kissed?" One of the girls asked.

"What do you mean by that?" 

"Everyone has kissed him here." The other girl replied.

Raven was surprised at how lightly these girls said it as if it was something that was normal and she couldn't believe her ears, "No we haven't." 

"That's odd." The other girl replied.

"Odd? What do you mean?" 

"Well we would have thought that he would have kissed you by now but that's strange. The last time he didn't kiss a girl is because he wasn't attracted to her." 

"Oh," Raven replied. 

"I mean he is the CEO of Luxshimier, he works a lot." 

"So does he have a girlfriend or is he serious about anyone?" Raven asked.

"No, not currently. He was only serious about one girl named Demi, she was the only one that he ever gave his heart to." 

"Why did they break up?" 

"Not sure about the full story but she went for someone else when Damien wasn't well established. From then he has never trusted any female fully no matter what happens." 

"I see," Raven replied trying to hide her disappointment, she really thought that he was interested in her but he was just a playboy who never committed. 

He didn't bother to hide that he was using the girls so he wouldn't give them false hope but that just sucked. If Damien didn't trust women, which meant he was not over his ex.

"Have you guys slept with him?" 

"Of course, but only once. Damien has a rule of only sleeping with a girl once currently but as you can see we are working on it. So that it's more than once."

Raven nodded, Damien was more complicated than what she thought she knew about him. He was nothing like what she had expected. He was there physically but not emotionally attached at all. 

"I knew when he saw you, he would want to sleep with you." One of the girls said.

"What do you mean?" 

"Well beneath all that, you look pretty." 

Raven analyzed the girls here and she saw that their beauty was out of this world. Why did she even think she had a chance with Damien and that he truly liked her?

She would be last on the queue if he wanted to be serious about any of the girls here. 

"Is Demi pretty? His ex?" Raven asked.

"She is a living doll." one of the girls replied. 

Raven nodded, wow even the ex was such a huge competition. Raven nodded, "Thanks for letting me know about this." 

"It's okay we just know that no one here is super special to him, so you don't have to feel used or discarded. He just is like that to everyone, he never stays the night after sleeping with anyone."

Raven nodded, wow so much to settle for but she was glad that they told her all of these things so that her expectations wouldn't be so high. 

She felt a bit bummed that he wasn't available to her the way that she wanted him to be but that was just life. He was rich and handsome, and he could get whomever he wanted. 

All the girls went back to their seats, and Raven leaned back with thoughts of everything the girls had just told her. 

All the girls started to squeal and she saw that Damien was back, he sat in between them and she wondered if that will be her in a couple of days?

Would she be just happy with his presence. As if sensing her gaze on him Damien turned and looked at her. He had a question in his eyes as if asking as to why she was staring at him so intently.

Raven averted her gaze, she had a lot to process about him and didn't want to send off the wrong impression.

She continued soaking up the sun and taking in the view. She would be at peace but she was being distracted but the squeals and laughs from the girls. Why not go for a swim she thought?

Raven cannonballed into the water, it felt amazing she made a lap to the end of the pool and rested for a bit. The pool was way too big and wide for her. It took forever to get to the end. 

"Raven!" one of the girls called out who was now by her seat.

"Someone called Dan is calling you." the girl yelled again.

When Raven heard the name, she climbed out of the pool and ran to her seat, she took her phone and towel.

She answered the call and made her way back to her room as she didn't want anyone to hear the conversation that she was about to have.

Little did Raven that Damien was analyzing everything that she was doing, from her reaction to the name and the urgency that she had taken to run and take the phone call and excuse herself from everyone.
