Your Lips to Mine #3: The Billionaire's Dangerous Muse Danger 19
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

When I walked into the office that night, the usual hum of activity filled the air. My footsteps echoed across the polished floor as I made my way to David’s office. I wasn’t expecting anything out of the ordinary today—just the usual check-ins and updates on the upcoming match. But as I rounded the corner into the main office space, I was taken aback by the sight of a familiar figure standing near the reception desk. Damian Cross. I froze for a moment, my eyes narrowing instinctively. He stood there, tall and imposing, his two bodyguards flanking him on either side. They were obviously on alert, their eyes scanning the room as if waiting for some unseen threat to appear. Damian, on the other hand, seemed completely at ease. He was dressed in his usual polished attire—tailored suit, crisp white shirt, and perfectly styled hair. His presence was commanding, as always, and despite the mask of calm he wore, I could sense the same intensity that had drawn me to him the first time we me

I sat there in David’s office, my fingers tapping lightly against the cool surface of the desk. The tension between me and Damian was palpable, the air thick with the weight of his offer and my growing irritation. I hadn’t wanted to entertain this, but there he was again, trying to weasel his way into my life in that smooth, insistent way of his.David, on the other hand, wasn’t helping. His constant nudging, his subtle encouragement, the way he kept telling me that it might be a good opportunity... it was all starting to wear on me. I could feel my patience beginning to fray at the edges. The fact that David—someone I trusted—was pushing me toward accepting Damian’s offer made me feel cornered, like there was no escape from this entire situation.“Come on, Sierra,” David said again, his tone light but persuasive. “Damian’s not offering you something everyone gets. This is different. It could be really lucrative for you.”I shot a quick look at Damian. He was leaning back against the

The morning light barely made it through the blinds as I sat at my desk, scrolling through the specs of the latest self-driving car prototypes. I had already cleared my inbox, organized my thoughts for the day, and now, it was time to get to work. My eyes flickered over the details of each car, scanning the performance data with a practiced ease. It was still early, but I already knew what the day would hold. I’d be testing a dozen new cars today, each one offering something unique—or at least, that’s what they claimed. As much as the industry loved to hype up their new technology, I knew better than to believe every flashy claim. In this field, you had to be critical, ruthless even, if you wanted to separate the truly great from the gimmicks.My standards were high. They always had been. Whether it was in my own life or in the cars I assessed, I couldn’t settle for anything less than perfection. Mediocrity was a concept I’d never been willing to accept, and when it came to self-driv

The day of my match finally arrived. From the moment I woke up, there was an electric tension in the air, one I couldn’t shake no matter how calm I tried to appear. This wasn’t just any race—it was the first time anyone would be using the newly updated tracks, and I was well aware of the whispers surrounding it. The modifications had transformed the circuit into something more challenging, unpredictable, and outright dangerous. Rey, my opponent, was someone I respected on the circuit. He had a reputation for being skilled and daring, and while I’d beaten him before, I knew he wasn’t the type to make the same mistakes twice. The fact that we were the first to try the new track only added to the weight of the match. It was a high-stakes race, and every single person watching knew it.By the time I arrived at the track, the atmosphere was electric. Fans had packed the stands, their voices blending into a cacophony of cheers and chatter. I pulled my hoodie tighter around me, my mask hidi

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

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

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

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
