All Chapters of His Favorite Flavor: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

He looked so angry; his eyes were burning with it. My heart starting beating too loud and I could hear it in my ears. The more he stayed silent and just stared at me, the more frightened I became. It felt like the calm before the storm. My palms were sweaty now; I didn’t know what he would do. The tiny working part of my brain reminded me that this had been all my choice. I didn’t even know the man; he could do anything to me. But he wouldn’t right? He’d saved me.. He wouldn’t hurt me. But he was too silent and the silence was more frightening than any words he could have shouted at me. I built my courage and ventured on to quietly whisper, “Say something.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and I could see him take control of himself. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were empty of all emotion now. He just backed up away from me, quietly and without looking at me, he turned on his heel and left the room. I

Damien had been here..He’d come back last night, picked me up and put me to bed and I hadn’t even realized it.Oh God, I put my head in my hands. I didn’t even have the excuse of pain pills because I wasn’t even taking any now.How had I not woken up?Shit, I’d wanted to talk to him, make him see sense. I’d.. wait a sec, maybe he was still here.I quickly pushed back the covers and made my way across the room to the washroom to check if there was anyone inside. I put my ear to the door and not hearing anything, I pushed it open.There was no partially naked Damien shaving for office.But he had been there.. I could smell his aftershave in the air around me and the mirror had droplets of steam. He’d only left a short while ago I was sure.Shit, I’d missed him by a hair.What if he was changing in the walk in closet?Not possible but worth a check, I thought as I knoc

My phone rang in the silence of the car and I angled the phone screen away from Mari since I didn’t want her asking me who Mr. Flynn was.“It’s him isn’t it?” Mari had a knowing look in her eye as we turned into the lane leading up to her house and she slowed down.“Who?” I tried to look innocent.“Oh c’mon, its Damien Alexander right?”I looked away from her and out the window of the car as she parked it and then got out.She came around to the other side and opening the door, she stood with her arms crossed and looking impatient as hell.“Why aren’t you picking up his call?”I looked down at the phone in my hands which had thankfully stopped ringing now. I would remember to change his name to something else or better yet, I would block him completely. I didn’t want any part of him in my life to remind me of what had happened between us.What h

I was seething with fury as I thought of the witch with the long red nails in Damien’s penthouse. He didn’t have any trouble replacing you, did he? My mind taunted at me as I stepped into the lift to take me back down to the lobby.I wish I had gone with Mari to help out Baron and not came back here. I should’ve listened to my gut and not come here in the first place.What had I expected? Baron ready to receive me with hearts and flowers. No, I thought but I had expected Baron, alone at the very least. I hadn’t expected her.I felt betrayed even though we hadn’t even had a relationship.Get over it Seline, it was just one kiss.It was probably just a stupid kiss for him too, maybe he kissed dozens of women every day.It probably didn’t mean anything to him, kissing me like that.But it had meant a lot to my fragile heart. I suddenly felt very replaceable.  But Rosanna had not only

I’d missed him.As Damien strapped me in and pulled the seatbelt across, I was embarrassed by my behavior.But the only excuse I could come up with was that I had missed him, that’s why I had let him just pick me up and take me away.As he rounded the hood and came inside the car, I could feel the electric sparks in the air between us. I shivered and my eyes traced his profile as if I hadn’t seen him in a year rather than a day.What was this strange connection between us? It scared me.His hands gripped the wheel tightly for a minute, and then he stared at me as if seeing me again had affected him just as deeply.He clenched his jaw and started the car.He executed a sharp turnaround from where we were that had me clutching my seat with both hands even though I had the seatbelt on.Then he started speeding the other way.“Are you trying to kill us?” My voice barely came out as a squeak.
