“Don’t say such stupid things. You are not a fucking prostitute!” Daimon barked. I stood taken aback at what he said to me. His body shook as he glared at me.
“Daimon,” I whispered.
“No, Addie, no. No one is allowed to say such things about you. Not her, not anyone,” he said angrily.
He pulled away from me and started to gain momentum, he was heading straight for her. I saw the stupid smile on her face. This is what she wanted. She wanted him to humiliate himself, to ruin his chances in front of other business associates. Fuck! I ran up to him and caught his wrist. He stopped and stared at me. Fury and anger ruled his face. I pulled harder, propelling myself closer to him. I reached up, took his face into my hands, and gently kissed his lips. My mouth lingered on his. I began to move my lips slowly and leisurely. His mouth was hard and ridged, surprised at what I had done. I moved away gradually and glanced up to see Daimon looking down at me. His anger and fury were now mixed with shock. At least I was able to stop him. I didn’t get what the big deal was. A small peck didn’t mean the world would end. I took his hand and kissed the inside of his palm. I could feel his stance relaxing. A sexy little grin began to appear on his face.
“See? You’re my lover,” he said in a hushed voice as he brought his hand to my face and feathered my jaw line.
I could see Clara out of the corner of my eye, not the least bit happy about our PDA. Which I’ll have to admit, I liked. I closed my eyes as Daimon continued to touch me.
“Let’s go home,” he whispered.
“Hmm.”
He took my hand and led me through the banquet hall, ignoring everyone’s stares and whispers as we walked outside to a waiting limo.
“Do not even dare think I would go home with you,” I challenged.
Daimon stood silenced by my statement, his demeanor changing and his jaw muscles tightening. “No, Addie. I know you better than that,” he brooded.
The driver opened the door to limo and helped me in. Daimon slipped into the back seat and glanced over to me.
“I knew you’d deliver. You out did yourself, Addie. I guess where money is concerned you’d do anything, except sleep with someone. At least it’s nice to know you have some integrity,” Daimon said harshly.
“You think I did that for money?” I fired back.
“Addie, we’re alone in the limo now. Cut the bullshit,” he snarled.
God, I was so stupid. Here I was thinking about him, about his reputation and everything he worked hard for. Fuck him and the high horse he rode in on.
“You’re right. I saw my opportunity to make more money from you so I grabbed my chance,” I said flatly.
“Name your price,” he said coldly.
“You pay for an entire year for Sofia,” I blurted out.
“No. That, you will have to earn more brownie points for,” he fired back. “A car?” Daimon offered.
“I don’t need a fucking car,” I argued.
“Fine, I’ll pay for one semester more,” he said, annoyed at giving in to my demand.
“Fine,” I agreed.
AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE
It was relatively quiet at the bar, meaning no money. Elissa unfortunately had the night off, but that was okay since Jace and I were able to shoot the shit. The guy was fun to hang out with. He was laid back and enjoyed life. Jace said bartending was the best decision he ever made, not only did he get to hang out with awesome people in a fast-paced environment, but as he put it, he could get as much pussy as he wanted. I laughed nonstop. He was honestly on a roll.
“So then this one girl, and I mean she was freaky.” Jace was telling me what had happened to him the night before. Trust me when I say the man didn’t leave out any details. “She invites me in. So I obviously go. I need to get laid. She calls out to her roommate who comes running out of her room. Hello Penthouse, we have a story.” He wiggled his eyebrows and I started to laugh.
“Hey, Jace, you mind not flirting with my girl.” Daimon came up from behind me and placed his hands on either side of my body, pinning me against the bar. I tried to move, but couldn’t.
“Do you mind?” I asked. I was still upset with him from last week.
“No, do you?” he asked not bothered by our closeness. I hated that I was the only one affected by his touch. I hated it more than I actually admitted to myself. I finally was able to turn around and face him. His usual sexy little grin was plastered all over his face.
