CIARA'S POV:
Damian's eyes snap back looking at me intently, after studying my face a few seconds his eyelashes droop, disappointed, a sigh leaves his mouth his body moving back, all the passion evaporating and that stupid nothingness reappearing.
I don't like Damian Asher not enough to kiss. It can't be. I keep. Saying this to myself for the last 20 hours everytime he had that look in his eyes. But why does it feel like a part of me is ripping off me with every inch he is moving back. I hold onto his ruffled shirt and pull him to me.
Screw it.
Our lips collide. Sparks coursing my veins bursting fireworks in my belly. Both of us still. Damian's eyes bulge out as if he just figured what happened and a little chuckle leaves my mouth he blinks and everything happens too fast after that. Bodies collide trapping me between the steel and his arms.one of his hands moves up to my hair while the other rush to my back pushing me into him. Damian looks me in the eye making me shiver under his gaze as he tilts my face to the side "smells like sin.. as always" a murmur as he closes in with a urgency pressing harder on to my lips making a satisfying sound as his eyes close savouring the new found deliciousness. His mouth nip's mine as his hands pull on my hair. A soft moan leaves my mouth electrifying my body with goosebumps. Making him smile through the kiss. he thinks he is totally in control of this, I had to change that what's anything without a challenge between us. My hands hungrily explore every nook of his upper body. His broad and firm chest felt like rock under my fingers, my hands slid down lazily inspecting All the ups and downs of his stomach the idea of challenge evaporating as my fingers explore his divine body . Damian flinches away as it slid dangerously low to his abdomen. my other hand finds its way to his hair, velvet. His air is softer than i imagined under my touch My fingers curl through his soft hair tugging on them a little as Damian licks my lower lip in one long swipe. Glazing it with moisture making me moan once more and a groans leaves his mouth in approval. His voice reaching to every sensitive part of my body tugging at it painfully. I fist his hair pulling him further into me as i hungrily nibble on his upper lip.
Damian pulls me more into him smushing my body to his it's not even possible anymore. I bet He could feel my body the idea was hideous on any normal day but now, now my body is on fire knowing it. The fire is almost consuming and humbling. his hand on the back moves to my throat in excruciatingly slow motion tracing every curve of my side as his hand worked its way up curling his fingers around my throat fuelling my desires, i gasp closing my eyes overwhelmed with lust. his lips place light kisses around my mouth. hands on my throat squeezing just enough to get my nipples hard and stomach knotting as his mouth devour mine hungrily once again. His teeth graze my lower lip biting it. I open my eyes at the sudden sting to see Damian looking right back at me. It was more of an order to keep looking at him as he had his way and I was too much of a goner to oppose. "You do taste sweeter than icecream Mrs.Asher... so much better" his voice gets deeper, hoarser than I ever heard. lips back on mine passionate. This kiss wasn't soft and light exploring, it was.... dominating full of control and i never give up control not without a fight. I try to kiss him back reciprocating the rigor, high with his passion until Damian tugs on my mouth with his tongue trying to enter my mouth. That is when I register what was happening. I push him away panting. Damian looks at me dumbfounded and breathing heavily. The Ferris wheel jolts again indicating it's stop.
I kissed Damian Asher on the damn Ferris wheel.
I run out of the compartment too embarassed to care what Damian thinks of it. Shit. Shit. No excuse this time. I kissed him. No. We ate eachother out. God. damn. it. I was the one who initiated it. I basically threw what i believed my life's purpose Aaget inc out the window because Damian Asher said...... Please.
I am doomed.i broke that agreement along with a lot many things. Even though he was an active participant and he did beg me to kiss. It's always trouble with this guy. I try to get into the back seat too embarassed to face him but the door gets slammed back the second i open it. "Get your arse to the front seat. I am not playing chauffer" his voice cold as ice. I roll my eyes getting into the car with no fight.
It was close to midnight when we reached home. I was expecting him to run away like he usually does but he actually follows me to the lift and gets in. This is getting worse by each minute can't he go and let me die in embarassment in peace.
I open the door clicking the password. Why is it pitch black I don't remember switching off everything i take a step in and a loud voice goes off. Lights on suddenly with a series of echoes.
"Happy birthday Ciara"
Damn. Can the day get any better, It's 13 June today. I forgot my own birthday. The hall filled with loud laughters cheering on my birthday with a huge two tier cake sitting in the middle. A smile instantly creeps on to my face as i run to my father attacking him with a bear hug. "Happy 20th birthday little one" i hug him tighter telling him I love him. Everyone hugs me and greets me while handing their presents, my most favourite one yet is the one maa gave me. It is a custom made bracelete with moons dangling down. Each moon adorned with a special type of stone. It looks really beautiful on my hand.
Damian's dad also wished me a happy birthday and gifted me a new car. Which type is a surprise for later his words not mine. I was escorted to the cake stand even before I knew it. I hold on to the knife ready to cut but maa chimes in "wait. Ciara honey won't you ask your husband here what gift he's got for you" everyone looks at Damian expectantly. Before I say anything dad cuts in. "Oh. I forgot to thank you son. It's only because you kept her busy all day were we able to plan the surprise" those words broke something inside my I never knew I even posses.
I know we didn't kiss out of love. But now, I don't know why we kissed at all. We had fun. Together. I got to know he is a scaredy cat who hates haunted houses even though he wouldn't admit it. That he got no friends because no one ever offered a true friendship. I just thought he cared and was happy to be there. Like I was. Not because he was forced or obliged to be there. Who am I kidding the great Damian Asher did have a reason to waste his day on me. It was a..... Chore.
he was forced to be there because my dad requested so. Tears swell in my eyes threatening to spill and I like a strong women i am always forced to be suck it up and acted like it just did not break my heart. Damian takes a few steps towards me standing infront of me holding some papers. But I did not care. It didn't matter.
My birthday is already ruined.
"I have a very special gift for her mom." he teased with a chuckle. My eyes still focused on the papers I haven't met his eye. He doesn't have to know it broke my heart that the one time I let my heart takeover and be true to my feelings, it is just another act for him. "Here. It is an official agreement from Asher industries stating that you are hired as the executive designer of upcoming jewellery launch. Your first job" by the end of the sentence it was pure appreciation and excitement welling from his voice.
This should actually make me dance of joy. My first design job not to mention for the Aaget inc. it's the first step towards my goals. It did lift my mood a little i plaster a smile on my face mumbling a "thanks" and take the papers from him. I turn towards the cake but then I remember our both families were there and my reaction was just too suspicious.
I quickly turn around move closer to where he is standing and tiptoe as i slip both my hands to his shoulder pushing him to me and plant a kiss on the cheek "that is the best gift I could ask for" i whisper aunt marylin hollers and whistle. Everyone laughs and we continue the celebrations with me never meeting Damian's eyes. I could feel his eyes on me through out the hour burning my skin under his gaze. Around two in the morning everyone retrieve to their respective rooms since there's a huge party tomorrow for the social circle.
A sigh leaves my mouth the second i step into my room. My safe heaven I really wish to just stay here all day tomorrow. I am already stressed out and the day hasn't even begun. After a quick wash I change into my shorts and tees ready to go to bed. Upon opening the door to the walkin closet I hear phone tapping and faint noises in my room i get changed into pajamas quickly, upon following I find a 6 foot Damian sprawled all over my bed in his navy blue tshirt and off white pajamas as he leasiourely types away.
"Get.out" i grit through my teeth. How dare he. "Excuse me" he chuckles looking funny at me. "I guess you are forgetting our second clause pretty girl. Act lovey dovey in front of my parents" he says getting up from the bed and walking straight to me. I refuse looking at him.and just plant myself firmly where I am. Until he entered the 2 feet radar invading my personal space. I take a step back. And another. Until I can't.
"Look at me Ciara. Why are you avoiding me..... Since that ki-" i cut him off in middle not wanting him to say it. I have rewinded it enough in my head it's dangerous to remember when he is this close.
"All you had to do was tell me. Tell me that I wasnt supposed to be home until 12 an-"
"And ruin your birthday surprise" i glare at him.
"Why are you acting like you care. It's making me sick." A tear trickles down my eye. I am crying again. It is so frustrating being this vulnerable. And it's all because of this guy.
"Get. Out" I say venom dripping off every syllable. Damian strides towards me enveloping my body into his arms.
"I wouldn't undo a single thing from yesterday" his words echoed. It took me a second to decipher. His hands caress my back as his head lays above mine. There was no hesitation in the hug. He didn't have to hug me or reassure me that every thing happened yesterday wasn't a errand. However he did it. And for some reason I feel like this is the best birthday gift he could ever give.
My hands move up as i hug him as my life depends on it. And I figured why I was frustrated all the time.
I like Damian Asher. And i no longer intend to deny it. My heart beat raises just like it did on March of 16th last year when I finally agreed that I liked caden.
Ooh liking someone always feels overwhelming. A smile creeps on to my lips. As i hug him tighter. I might as well use the opportunity who knows when this will happen ever again.
