ISHTAR.My hands shook as I held the same kind of letter again, perusing it without tearing the envelope open because I was anxious about what I'd find next. The same security who had gotten the first got this one, too. This time, he didn't see who slipped it under the gate.I inhaled sharply, sitting upright as I gently tore open the tip of the brown envelope and fished out the white sheet folded inside of it. I carefully unraveled it, and my eyes fell on the words largely scribbled at the center of the white sheet.DAMIANOS KINKADE. No question marks this time? Was this some sort of confirmation? Whoever these people were, they knew me, and they knew me well. The paper was the only thing contained in the envelope, and there were no hidden messages.Just as I'd tried to read the last one with candlelight, I'd do this, too. I and the security guard had checked everything— whoever it was, they were able to meticulously bypass the CCTV cameras while on this mission.Everything was stif

ISHTAR.The moment I heard the roaring of the engine as his vehicle entered the compound, I ran back to my seat and pretended to be engrossed in my book. I'd been sitting by the window for the past hour, waiting for him to arrive.Damian was a bit late, and I wondered why. I flipped the pages and perused over a particular page when I finally heard the door open, and the room was engulfed by the strong smell of his cologne. It was to die for, literally.As though it was the key to playing with my brain, I became restless on the seat, thinking about how or when I'd ever get a chance to be that close to him again. His footsteps echoed in my direction, and it took everything in me to stay still.I was burning with excitement, like a kitten would before milk. He'd been standing there for a while, watching me while my cheeks burned, and I tried to hide between my hair. It was excruciatingly anxious to pretend like I didn't notice he was there, so I turned slowly and looked up at him, "Thank

DAMIAN.The day of the gala arrived, and the hours seemed to drag as I waited eagerly downstairs for Ishtar to be done dressing up. It wasn't anything important, so I knew she could handle it, especially after the appearance she'd pulled off on the day she tried to tempt me. Time ticked by really slowly, feeding into my anticipation, and I couldn't help it. I couldn't help wanting to see her in that dress. I was hungry to see her in a dress again, just one more time.The want hit me like never before, and I paced around the living room, my hands behind my back as I waited for what seemed like decades. The sound of the ticking clock filled my head and synced with my heartbeat, troubling me even more. It seemed as though there was a void inside of me waiting to be filled. I just couldn't wrap my head around it.Maybe it was because tomorrow was the first day of a full moon, and all my senses were heightened. Finally, Ishtar's footsteps filled my ears, and I hesitated, pausing in my t

ISHTAR.I froze next to him. Despite the slow music that played in the background, I could still feel my heart pulsating as he pulled me closer to him. Sarah's eyes lit up as a smile planted on her face as she responded, "This is the sweetest I've heard in a while," She narrowed her eyes as she folded her hands across her chest, "Mr. Damian must be way different than I had thought."I could only smile and pretend like she was right, I was so conscious of his hand placement, and I wasn't sure whether to enjoy it for as long as it lasted or think about what would happen when we left this pool of people.The conversation danced further as it had, and after a short while, Sarah excused herself to go meet a few acquaintances that had just arrived, and that left me with Damian again. His hands slid off my shoulder, and his lips were pursed. I couldn't read his emotions or tell what he was thinking."So, are you going to pay me extra for acting like a good girlfriend?" I threw the question t

DAMIAN."She was the owner…of the orphanage that I was in," she said slowly after she'd been silent and disturbed for a long while.I didn't know what to say to her, but I let the words sink into my skin. I gulped hard, watching her watch the lady walk away. Ishtar looked panicked and scared, like she was transported back to a time in her life she didn't want to remember.It was at that moment it was beginning to occur to me that I didn't know much of her story. And her being a child from that orphanage could be the information I needed to know everything about her and how or why she was connected to Minerva. I smiled and pulled her closer, "I'm sorry about that. She didn't recognize you, though.""Fortunately," she sighed, and her brows creased. "I'm so sorry that happened. I almost-""Sorry, why? I'm not complaining.""Hm-hm," she nodded, still looking disturbed. I wanted to tell her everything would be fine, and she didn't have any reason to be scared or sorry, that I was here for

ISHTARDamian went quiet after my last question, and it only heightened the anxiety I had been feeling all night long. The more the silence seemed to linger, the more I wanted answers.Nothing about him added up, and his name wasn't in the books. I did my research a while ago and realized Alfred had a song, but that son wasn't Damian. The person died years ago, and it was Reiss' father, and that was why I'd been too careful to ask Reiss about it himself. I was afraid it'd bring up memories that he might have wanted to forget.Damian scoffed, seeming ready to give me a response like the world had paused when I asked the question. It was as if his brain hadn't processed it at the time. "Hiding something? What could I possibly be hiding?"I shrugged, "I don't know. Something about you is so shady, but I don't…know what it is yet. There's just so many plot holes in your story?""I see…" He shook his head, "The question now is if I care enough to explain anything to you. Your curiosity is

DAMIAN.I've messed up again. I've messed up the entire night, and there was no going back. I'd let my emotions lead me, and the more I did that, the more I seemed to fall deeper into this bottomless pit.I didn't know what to call this attraction. The need to hold her close, the need to be in close contact with her, the undying urge to always hear her talk. Where did all of those come from?The gala had been my undoing, and as I walked out of my room, which was against everything my heart wanted, I found myself prancing in my room. I hated how similar this was to the first time, and what I would despise the most was having the same thing happen all over again. An impossible kind of love that burns into pain and betrayal.I didn't want that anymore. I kicked my shoes and kicked off the jacket. I threw it on the chair and sat at the edge of the bed, my hand ruffling my hair. I sighed tiredly. The problem at hand wasn't Ishtar. It was Minerva and how she was somehow manifested in Ishta

ISHTAR."Yes, why?" Why? I couldn't wrap my head around how fast his behavior changed. One minute, he has me thinking we could be something. I had no idea what that thing was, but something.The next minute, he's acting like this. Unapproachable, emotionlessly, mean, stone cold, and even when I look into his eyes, I wouldn't see anything that I saw yesterday. It was like staring into an abyss. "I had been studying all day," I began, sounding as lovely as possible. Even in the dark, his imposing frame stood tall, his stance unwavering.I could see that his fists were clenched. Like he's being tormented. Was holding a conversation with me this difficult? I pushed down the bile in my throat and kept talking, "Who knew reading would be so exhausting?"Indulge me. Talk to me. Say something, anything. Damian responded with silence. Too much of it that it hurts, and I didn't want to bring up this morning either and how he'd turned me down after all it took to prepare a better meal.I didn't

DAMIAN."Holy shit!" she screamed, and I could tell she was getting closer to her release. The sound of her moans fueled me, and I picked up the pace, thrusting in harder until she couldn't take it anymore. Ruby's entire body shook as her orgasm hit, and I thrust in faster, grabbing her by the hip and deepening my thrust. I leaned back, directing my movements as I thumped in and out of her. I hit her G-spot. "Yes, there," she urged me. "Oh, God! Oh.."I slammed against her again, hitting the same spot over and over. "Oh, Damian." she panted, and I felt her juice pool down her pussy, soaking my dick.Her moans rang out, and the thick grunts tumbled from my lips. I couldn't help it. I was going to explode inside her any minute from now, and I didn't want to—Not yet, at least. I tried to prolong it for as long as I could, but it didn't work out. She was so fucking tight that her pussy was squeezing the life out of me. I couldn't hold back anymore.I slammed into her faster, losing m

ISHTAR.My eyes fluttered open as I moved to the side of the bed, but I didn't feel Damian's presence next to me. I didn't want to stand up too fast and actually admit that he wasn't by my side anymore.A part of me was hoping that by the time I'd open my eyes, he'd be right next to me. I didn't get why he'd leave. My hands rubbed his side of the bed and clutched the bedsheet tightly.Not after last night. Why'd he leave like that? I let time slip by for a while before I finally sat up, leaning against the headrest. My entire body ached from last night, and even while I said I wasn't sure of it. I think I'm in love with him.Wasn't that too illogical? We had sex, yeah, because I urged him to do it. Could that even mean we were different from what we were yesterday? Was that why he got home and left so early? Did his feelings change?I didn't know. I knew nothing. How foolish of me? Still, with the hurt and the way my heart pounded in my chest, I'd do the same thing over and over agai
