CHAPTER 4
Watching the tall man leave, Amber's eyes fluttered closed briefly. A deep inhale and she turned around to face her new devil.
What she had not accounted for was the sweet smirk plastered on his lips like one who had won over her.
She squeezed her hands into fists at her side and heaved out a sigh. She was ready to tackle this situation and shove his money spending to his face when his voice rang out loud and clear.
"Finally caught you, Amber Star," Damian reminded her in the most delicious way possible.
For a moment there she forgot herself and stared into his lovely blue eyes that seemed to want to suck out her life and give it to him.
"I…"
Quickly, Amber pinched her thigh so hard she winced from the pain and immediately broke out from whatever spellbound gaze she had found herself in.
Shaking her head, she decided in her mind on what her answer was going to be.
"Mr. Stormborn sir, I am sorry. I do not wish to accept your offer."
"Why?"
"I am contented with my work. You will find more useful journalists that clamour for even an extra thousand dollars in their pay and some free. So do not waste your time on a woman like me."
"Is that so?"
His lips curled up and he rose to his feet. Within seconds he was already in front of her, watching her keenly from where he stood.
"I beg to differ."
"Sir, I mean it and I would not change my stand."
"Yes, you will."
His eyes shone a different hue as he leaned in but before his face could get any closer, Amber leaned back.
"Amber, it would interest you to know that pinching your thigh won't save you from my grasp."
"That's because you are using something against me."
"No sugar plum, that me admiring your scent."
Her eyes flew open at his words as she swallowed hard.
"What scent."
"The smell of your arousal and now, I cannot wait to get a taste and who knows, drink more."
The urge to smack him across the face overwhelmed her and before Amber could control her hand, they flew up, ready to impale him with her digits when he effortlessly caught her wrist.
She yanked her hand back from his, but his grip was firm but not hurtful. In the process, Amber lost her balance.
Just as about falling Damian took a step forward, placed his hand free hand behind her and caught her.
Badum! Badum!
Her heart raced in his chest with her widened eyes staring deeply into his.
Seeing him this close for the first time, her nostrils were instantly assaulted by the sweet smell of his perfume.
Suited up in a white tux, his ebony black hair did him justice for bearing the name she had for him. The devil himself.
His eyes raked over her face once and then returned to her eyes. Something about her ordinary self felt different.
Attractive to say the least and relatively pulling. She looked plain, but he felt drawn to her in ways in which his being as a god only wished to ravish her.
Aware of the change in his eyes and how they dilated every now and then, Amber cleared her throat, hoping to break him from whatever trance he was in.
"Sir, I can stand now."
"Hmm." His hand on her back slid down, stopping just an inch away from her buttocks.
~ Gulp! ~
"Do you mind letting go?"
"And what if I say no?"
"I would refuse your offer."
"Meaning you have accepted already?"
"Definitely not. I would rather stay and…"
Her words were instantly thrown out the window the moment he ignored her and captured her lips in a hot kiss.
His tongue dove right in almost immediately, taking her initial shock to his advantage and leaving her brain in shambles.
Her eyes remained wide open, as she stared into his eyes while his lips and tongue did wonders to her brain.
She felt his hot tongue press down on hers, circling around it and tasting her mouth.
Everything at that moment, nothing seemed to make sense anymore as more and more she felt him steal her breath away.
Her senses were immediately attacked and soon she felt a strange sensation spread out on her body. Forgetting herself, Amber's eyes finally closed and he followed suit as he held her body stronger and deepened the kiss.
Within seconds, she found her lips betraying her, her once firm hands now shaky in his grasp and on his chest.
Overwhelmed by her scent, Damian found himself taking more than the initial shutting-up kiss he wished to take and slid his hand down to her butt, giving it a harsh squeeze.
Her eyes flew open instantly. Thanks to that, he snapped her out of her nightmare and immediately, Amber tapped on his chest severally in hopes of backing out.
Still, Damian refused to stop, barely breaking up to a second before taking her lips once more.
His fervency, skill and attention, made it ahrd for her to want to stop him but she knew this hard to stop.
Slapping hard on his chest, Amber pushed back and he released her other hand but instead of letting her go altogether, he bit on her lower lip, daring her to take a step.
She pounded on his chest once more, and she felt her lip tear before he released her. Regardless, he ensured she was locked in his arms.
POW!
A surprised smile swept off in his eyes and rather than get offended as she had hoped, he licked his lips seductively and let the smile on his lips broaden.
"Feisty, even great. I would enjoy breaking you in bed."
"Let me go," Amber demanded through gritted teeth.
"No."
"Or I would scream."
"Screaming my name while I eat you out? Even better."
He chuckled mischievously but his smile never left his lips. To Amber's surprise, Damian leaned over once more.
This time he intentionally missed her lips and went straight for her ear.
"I'll enjoy every bit of it and watch you squirm underneath me while I bring you to multiple orgasms with moans and moans of pleasure rocking out of your lips, little vixen."
She felt her core tighten just listening to his tempting voice that she could almost imagine it.
"I… I would sue you for harassment and get a restraining order."
He chuckled once more and his breath fanned her cheeks. Pulling back his head a little so his eyes locked with hers, Damian assured her wickedly, giving her the hard truth.
"Try and you'll come to find there is no escape for you now. There is nowhere in the world you would go that I won't find you. And when I do, your punishment would cause you to go weak for days after I make you cum lots. You cannot escape me."
Knowing how famous he was, she knew his threat wasn't one to be messed with.
Besides, he had barely seen her and she was sure there was no CCTV at that place, else he wouldn't have been so bold with that lady.
Still, the thought of how he found her made her fret a little.
"Just like I found you today, doing so henceforth would be as easy as saying your name. You have only one choice now. Accept my offer."
Sure about his approach, Damian straightened up, pulling her with him.
At this point, he expected a positive reply but to his dismay, she was defiant still.
"I'd love to see you try. My answer remains so. One more step and I would ruin you with your secret. Do not forget what my profession is."
For a second there he felt threatened but when he recalled that she may not have taken pictures due to her fear, he smiled cheekily and pushed again.
"Oh, I have pictures to back my claim," Amber announced, shattering his confidence. "Do not think for once, I would not know how to protect myself."
"Lies."
Damian attempted to take a step closer but she held her palm in front of her quickly and took two steps back.
"Fine. Since you do not believe me. I have several copies."
He arched a brow at her suspiciously. However, her next choice of words did a bigger blow.
"I already have them on standby for posting. I have control wherever I am. Give me five minutes and we would see who is lying."
