The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 43- Driving around
-Damian- I exhaled sharply unsure of what to do. The caller ID was staring at me. All of the fresh air I had just let into the car by opening the windows felt like it vanished from the car. All of that just by one phone call by my mother. The worst thing was that she wasn’t stopping. The phone kept ringing loudly, keen on making my ears bleed with the amount of noise my speakers were making.Eventually, I pressed my thumb to the screen and swiped to answer the call. However, before I could get anything out or hold my phone properly to my ear my mother’s voice rang out. “What do you think you’re doing?”“Good evening to you too, mother.” I said evenly as if all of this was fine. As if her calling me right after I dropped Elizabeth off at her gate wasn’t disturbing in the least.She exhaled sharply “Good evening, Damian. What do you think you’re doing?” She repeated the question. “Should I pretend to know what you’re talking about or will you explain it to me?” “Elizabeth!” She st
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 42- Aftertaste
-Damian-The night came to an end. The restaurant lights flickering behind us as I led Elizabeth toward the restaurant exit. Elizabeth walked next to me with her hand curled around my bicep like a lady she is. Her shoulders are relaxed, chin tipped up just so, and lips carrying the hint of that soft satisfaction. Like a true heiress, aware that she has won something. I don't look at her. I don't give her the satisfaction of meeting my gaze. Because no matter how much she thinks she has won tonight, I couldn't help but want to jump out of my skin. At her voice. At her touch. At that victorious smile.Before I could think better of it, I opened the passenger door for her, like a gentleman I was raised to be. She smiled, getting into the passenger seat and getting comfortable. To her getting comfortable meant sitting like a poised little heiress. Back straight. Arms folded neatly in her lap. Closing the door I nodded to the valet in greeting and got into the car. I started driv
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 41- Smile
-Damian- She smiled at me as if this was the outcome she had hoped to achieve all this time. To wrap me around her little, manicured fingers and jam them so hard into my ribs so that I have no other option but to listen to her and marry her."I'm happy you finally found the time to have this dinner with me." She took a sip of her wine. "Honestly, judging by how the last time ended I thought you were unhappy with the arrangement your mother made, the other girls were worried you might not come around." She curved her lips, her fingers trasing the rim of her wine glass."Come around?" "Oh yeah, arranging the dinner with us, or at least telling your mother to arrange it." "Right, of course." I gave her a tight smile. "There is no other place that I would rather be than here." I lied through my teeth and continued looking over the menu. The food has to be proper. It has to be something that will not make anyone suspicious of my loyalties. It has to be something that screams my nam
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 40- Heiress
-Damian- Her hand was a warm presence on my thigh as she purred into my ear. When it became clear that she was not backing off on her own, I took her wrist and gently put it back in her lap. "You're a lady, Miss Montgomery. Let's go have our dinner now." I put my hand back on the steering wheel. Her bottom lip purses out in a pout. I didn't let it show that her mere touch provoked such a visceral reaction of rejection from my body. That every single time her breath hit my skin, it made me want to crawl out of my body. She was shallow and she wanted me. Well, that is incorrect. She wanted the status and the money, and she wanted to be Damian Sinclair's wife and child bearer just to enhance her status in our world. She didn't like me. My hand tightened on the steering wheel, when a whiff of Isabella's perfume hit my nostrils out of nowhere. I'm going to be sick. We weren't even exclusive, we were just... having fun... Yes, having fun. My knuckles were white from my grip on the
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 39- Inevitable
-Damian-I dropped Bella off at her office and went straight back to the Bronx to Aureum Capital's office building. When I walked toward my office, I could see that Jessica was nowhere to be found. That was odd, Jessica was punctual and she was usually there before I even arrived. This morning I was even running thirty minutes late. I walked into my office, there I found Alfred texting on his phone with his legs propped up on the adjoining desk that I had set up for him yesterday morning. He seemed at ease, his lips were curled in a wicked smirk, and didn't see me for a second there. I was surprised to find him here. I thought he would be a lazy bum that didn't want to work or that would come in late. But alas, he surprised me. I cleared my throat to get his attention. His eyes snapped up and he immediately put his legs down and stood up. "Good morning, Damien, sir.""Good morning, Alfred. I'm surprised to see you here this early." I mused "It's okay, you can even call me D." I
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 38- Work
-Isabella-The drive to work was even faster than it was yesterday. We got there in twenty minutes. It was insane how fast one can drive when it's not a cab. Especially when they're not aiming to take all of my money away. Damian and I actually enjoyed our drive, we were listening to the music and watched the city blur past us.Damian was driving fast, like insanely fast, and his hand rested on my thigh the whole way from the Bronx to my work. He pulled up in front of the publishing house, the brick building still standing there. The huge sign that said Archipelago Books was still above the door. It all felt so surreal. Everything was just right there in front of me, and still I couldn't believe my luck, I had the job. I had a publishing house I was a member of. An editorial member.I smiled and looked at Damian, who was sitting there looking at me, his one hand on the wheel, the other resting on my thigh. He squeezed the flesh of my thigh once. "You're doing great. You're being p

-Damian-I wipe my hand down my chest, straightening my white button-down shirt, and exhale a long breath. It's a desperate attempt to collect myself. I'm walking in the direction where I saw her
The Hurricanes: After the Kiss Chapter 3- Green Eyes
-Damian-I tip my tumbler up and drain the Scotch from it in one long gulp, letting the liquid burn its way down my chest.Despite having spent the last four years frequenting
