Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 15
Nathan entered Damian’s office quietly, the weight of his boss’s intense focus palpable even from the doorway. Damian was seated at his desk, his sharp eyes scanning the pages of a file that Nathan recognized all too well—the one containing every detail they had been able to gather about Sierra. It wasn’t the first time Nathan had seen Damian engrossed in those papers, and he suspected it wouldn’t be the last. Damian’s fingers moved slowly, turning the pages with deliberate care. He was completely absorbed, his brows slightly furrowed in concentration. Nathan could tell this wasn’t just idle curiosity. Damian had taken a genuine interest in Sierra, one that went far beyond the surface level. There was a spark of something in his boss’s eyes—a mix of admiration and intrigue that Nathan hadn’t seen in years. Clearing his throat softly to announce his presence, Nathan stepped further into the room. “Sir, I see you’re still reviewing the file,” he said cautiously, not wanting to interru

SIERRA With exams looming on the horizon, I decided to put everything else on hold. For the time being, the track would have to wait. Racing was a thrilling escape, but right now, my focus needed to be on my studies. If there was one thing I prided myself on as much as racing, it was excelling in my academics. The week was a blur of textbooks, highlighters, and sleepless nights. I’d mapped out a strict schedule, allocating every minute to studying and revising. My days began early and ended late, leaving little room for distractions. I told Mika to cover for me if anyone asked about my whereabouts—though I doubted anyone would. “Focus, Sierra,” I muttered to myself as I stared at a particularly convoluted equation in my calculus workbook. My professor had a knack for assigning the kind of problems that made you question every decision that led you to this moment. As I worked through the calculations, my mind briefly drifted to the track. I wondered what was happening there, who

I should have known that Damian’s presence wasn’t just a coincidence. When a man like him shows up at your school library, dressed to the nines and as confident as ever, it’s not because he’s there to return a book. After I reluctantly gave him the time of day, I regretted it almost instantly. The moment he opened his mouth, I knew what he was about to say. “I want to revisit the offer I made you at the track,” he began, leaning back in his chair with that infuriatingly self-assured smirk. I immediately cut him off. “No.” Damian raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by my bluntness. “You didn’t even let me finish,” he said, chuckling. “I didn’t need to,” I replied. “I already know what you’re going to say. You want me to observe your car, help fix its problems, or whatever it is you think I can do for you. And my answer is still the same. I’m not interested.” He didn’t seem fazed. If anything, he looked even more entertained. “Sierra, you’re exceptionally skilled. Your knowl

I barely had a moment to breathe. The upcoming exam was all I could think about, its weight pressing heavily on my shoulders. It wasn’t just about passing—it was about maintaining my scholarship. Sure, I had money saved up for tuition, but this scholarship wasn’t just financial support to me. It was proof of my hard work, of everything I’d poured into being the best version of myself. The dining table was a chaotic mess of textbooks, notes, and colored flashcards. Mika sat across from me, her head buried in her notebook as she muttered formulas under her breath. “Alright, Sierra,” she said, breaking my focus, “let’s tackle probability first. That section is going to kill me if I don’t get it down today.” “Probability?” I repeated, glancing at her notes. “Alright, let’s start with conditional probability. It’s almost guaranteed to show up on the exam.” I adjusted my glasses and pointed at a practice question in her notebook. “Look, if we’re trying to find the probability of A g

The cool night breeze wrapped around Mika and me as we strolled down the dimly lit street, the soft hum of distant traffic filling the silence between us. We had just left the library after another grueling day of studying, and the weight of the upcoming exams was finally starting to feel bearable. Mika’s chatter about what we’d eat when we got home distracted me from my thoughts when the sound of a car engine revving nearby made us both stop in our tracks.The sleek black car slowed to a halt beside us, its tinted windows glinting under the streetlights. Instinctively, Mika and I exchanged a look, both of us tensing up. Living in a city taught you to always stay alert, especially at night. The driver’s side window rolled down smoothly, revealing none other than Damian Cross, his infuriatingly calm face lit by the faint glow of the dashboard.I groaned audibly. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath. “Good evening, ladies,” Damian said smoothly, his voice carrying

As we pulled up in front of the apartment building, I could already tell Mika had something up her sleeve. The mischievous glint in her eyes had been there ever since we’d gotten into Damian’s car, and now it was practically blinding. The moment the car came to a full stop, Mika opened the door, giving Damian her most polite smile. “Thank you so much for the ride, Damian,” she said sweetly, climbing out of the car. I gave her a pointed look, hoping to convey *don’t even think about it*, but Mika, being Mika, ignored it completely. She turned to me briefly, her expression all innocence. “See you tomorrow, Sierra!” she called over her shoulder before disappearing into the building faster than I’d ever seen her move. I groaned internally. *Of course, she’d leave me here.* “Mika!” I called after her, but she was already out of sight. Damian, still seated comfortably in the driver’s seat, chuckled softly. “Your friend seems to know when to make herself scarce.” I shot him a g

The air was buzzing with excitement as the results of the exams were posted on the bulletin board in the department hallway. Students crowded around, eager to see their grades. I hung back, not feeling the need to push through the crowd. After all, I already knew where my name would be. It wasn’t arrogance, just a quiet confidence born from weeks of hard work. “Sierra! You’re at the top again!” Mika’s voice cut through the chatter as she turned to me, waving her phone in triumph. She had already pulled up the online results and was grinning from ear to ear. I gave her a small smile. “I figured. But how about you? Did you get what you were aiming for?” Her grin widened as she linked her arm through mine. “I didn’t just pass—I aced it! Well, not like you, but I’m pretty proud of myself. And guess what? No one in our class failed. Can you believe that?” That caught my attention. I looked around at my classmates, who were now exchanging congratulations, high-fives, and hugs. F

The evening air was crisp, the scent of freshly mowed grass mixing with the faint tang of sweat that clung to the track. I could hear the rhythmic thud of feet against the ground, the excited chatter of people echoing through the stands. It wasn’t my match today, but that didn’t stop the familiar rush of anticipation from flooding my chest. Track had always been my sanctuary, and even when I wasn’t racing, just being here brought a sense of calm to my otherwise hectic world.I adjusted the hoodie on my head, the dark fabric serving as a shield, obscuring my face from the crowd. I wasn’t in the mood for unnecessary attention today. A mask further concealed my identity, only my sharp eyes visible to the world. I didn’t need anyone recognizing me, especially not when I had come here for a much-needed break from everything else.As I walked toward the bleachers, the noise grew louder. The sound of shoes scraping the track, the occasional whistle from a coach, and the hum of voices in conv

The sunlight streamed through the windows of the car as we drove up the familiar, long driveway leading to Damian’s parents’ manor. The same old stone gate greeted us, the flowers lining the pathway just as vibrant as I remembered. The place was beautiful, timeless, and always had an air of serenity that made you feel like you were stepping into a different world—a world full of history and love. I glanced at Damian beside me, his hands firmly gripping the wheel as he maneuvered the car down the narrow path. His usual composed demeanor was relaxed today, and I couldn’t help but smile as I watched him. We’d been married for a while now, and even with two little ones in tow, there was still something so comforting about his presence. He was the same Damian I had fallen for years ago—strong, caring, and somehow managing to make everything feel like it was meant to be. In the backseat, our twins were giggling, their laughter infectious. Emily, our daughter, had her little pigtails bounc

The reception was in full swing, a beautiful celebration of Sierra and Damian’s union. The guests were enjoying themselves, the hum of conversations mixing with the soft melodies playing in the background. Everywhere you looked, there was laughter, joy, and an overwhelming sense of love in the air. The newlyweds were on the dance floor, their smiles never fading as they danced with each other, occasionally stealing glances at their friends and family who were watching in admiration. The tables, laden with delicious food and drinks, were surrounded by people chatting away and sharing stories. It was a night that everyone would remember, one that felt like the beginning of a new chapter for not only Sierra and Damian but for everyone who loved them. But the best part of the evening was yet to come—the speeches. As the evening went on, the time came for the people closest to the couple to stand up and share their thoughts. One by one, guests stood to offer their congratulations, their

The day had arrived—the long-awaited wedding of Damian and Sierra. The sun hung high in the sky, casting its golden glow over the lush gardens where the ceremony would take place. It was the kind of weather that felt perfect, as though the universe itself had aligned for this moment. The soft rustle of leaves in the breeze and the gentle hum of excited voices filled the air, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love. This was a day that would be etched in their memories forever. Sierra stood backstage, her heart racing. She had been waiting for this day for so long, but now that it was finally here, it all felt so surreal. Her wedding dress, a delicate blend of lace and satin, shimmered softly in the light as she adjusted the final touches. Her hair, styled in loose waves, was adorned with a delicate tiara that made her feel like a princess. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, barely recognizing the woman looking back at her. She looked like a dream, but the dream was real
Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 87
Damian and I had been preparing for this day for weeks. The day I would finally meet his parents—his formidable, larger-than-life parents, who had raised a man as complex and brilliant as Damian. My nerves were getting the best of me, but he was by my side, his usual calm demeanor reassuring me, even though I knew this would be a turning point in our relationship. We arrived at his family’s manor just as the evening sun began to dip, casting a warm golden light over the grand, old building. The manor had an elegant charm to it, with ivy climbing up the stone walls and a well-kept garden that gave off an air of old money. I had heard a lot about his parents from Damian, but there was nothing that could prepare me for actually meeting them. Damian opened the door for me with a small, encouraging smile, taking my hand in his as we approached the grand entrance. As soon as the door swung open, his mother’s voice rang out from inside. “Damian! There you are!” she called, her tone a mix
Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 86
I watched as Damian entered our home, his posture slumped, clearly exhausted from his day. It was unusual for him to look so worn out; he usually carried himself with an air of unshakable confidence. As soon as I saw the fatigue in his eyes, I couldn't help but rush to him. Without thinking, I stood on my tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, trying to ease the tension I could feel radiating from him. "You look like you need to unwind," I murmured against his lips. Damian’s arms instinctively wrapped around me as if he needed the comfort, too. "I’m fine, just... been a long day," he replied, but I could see through his words. His exhaustion was palpable, and I wasn’t going to let him suffer in silence. “Go take a bath. I’ll make us something to eat,” I suggested gently, nudging him toward our bedroom. He gave me a small, appreciative smile before nodding. "Thanks, love." His voice was softer than usual, filled with gratitude. As he disappeared into the bathroom, I busied m

Damian sat in the large, sterile dining room of his parents' manor, the overwhelming sense of anticipation now replaced by a suffocating tension. His mother’s eyes burned with fury as she stared at him, waiting for the next words to come out of his mouth, as if she could sense he was holding something back. Her lips were pursed tightly, her knuckles white around the edge of her wine glass. He had already sensed her disappointment the moment he had walked through the door without Sierra, but he hadn’t expected it to escalate to this. His father, seated at the end of the table, remained quiet, but Damian could feel the weight of his gaze—a quiet, unspoken judgment. It made Damian feel even more like he was drowning in the sea of expectations that had been placed on him all these years. Finally, after a few painful moments of silence, his mother couldn’t hold back anymore. Her voice cut through the tension like a blade. “Damian, you say you’re serious about this woman, but where is sh

Damian sat back in the leather chair, the quiet hum of the city outside filtering through the window. He could feel the weight of the day bearing down on him, a culmination of weeks of planning, anticipation, and a growing sense of excitement. It was hard to believe that just a few days ago, he had been on a beach in the Maldives, a lifetime away from the familiar comforts of home. The proposal had gone exactly as he’d hoped. Sierra’s joy, the moment they shared under the starry sky—everything had been perfect. But now, the next step beckoned. It wasn’t just about them anymore. There was more he needed to address, more he needed to reveal.He picked up his phone, his thumb hovering over Nathan's name. It had been a while since he'd spoken to his old friend in person, but it was time to bring him into the fold. Nathan had always been reliable, and now, more than ever, Damian needed his help.“Hey, Nathan,” Damian greeted when the phone clicked to life. “I need your help with something.
Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 83
After the proposal, the world seemed to slow down for a moment. Damian’s arms wrapped around me, holding me close, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like everything was falling into place. I could feel the warmth of the people around us, their happiness radiating in every cheer and smile. The world was our oyster, and for once, I felt like I had everything I ever needed. But then, as the waves gently lapped at the shore and the stars twinkled above us, something hit me, a question that had been sitting in the back of my mind for a while, one I hadn’t quite found the right moment to ask.Pulling away from Damian’s embrace, I looked up at him, my fingers still tracing the outline of his jaw, a smile lingering on my lips. But there was something in my eyes—a flicker of curiosity mixed with a sense of uncertainty. I couldn’t shake the thought.“Damian,” I said, my voice soft but with a serious edge, “I need to ask you something. What about your family?”His eyes narrowed sligh
Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 82
Three years. Three years of highs and lows, triumphs and challenges. Looking back, it felt like a whirlwind of emotions. From the early days of uncertainty, when Damian and I were navigating the aftershocks of everything that had happened with Liam, to the quiet nights we spent together, finding solace in each other’s company, I never imagined that we’d come this far. I’d thought that life had settled into a rhythm, one where we worked hard, loved hard, and fought for the people we cared about.But tonight, standing on the edge of the Maldives beach, the soft whispers of the ocean as our backdrop, it felt different. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, as if something monumental was about to happen. I didn’t know what it was—didn’t even have a hint—but I had a nagging feeling that tonight wasn’t going to be just another beautiful evening under the stars.I glanced around, taking in the scene. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silv
