Chapter 8

Valerie's POV

As he dropped me on the bed, we scurried in the dark to undress each other. I unbuckled his belt and unzipped his trouser and he pulled it off himself. I took off every form of clothing that was left on my body.

We exchange soft whispers, sweet nothings that only lovers understand. Our lips meet in a gentle kiss, a soft caress that ignites a flame of passion and desire. I could see the primal intensity in his eyes.

With the first thrust, I gripped the sheets as I let out a loud moan. He was still for a while, allowing me to get used to the feel of him inside of me. Then he started to move, and in seconds, I caught his rhythm. He stroked me over and over and each thrust made me longing for more.

As the night deepens, we find ourselves lost in each other's eyes, our love, a burning fire that consumes us whole. We surrender to the moment, our hearts beating as one.

The room was lit only by a dim bedside lamp, its soft glow casting shadows across the walls. We lay in bed, our bodies entwined, lost in the heat of the moment. Passion burned in our eyes as our lips met again in a fierce kiss.

Our hearts beat in rhythm with each other as we surrendered to the desire that coursed through our veins. We moved together in a slow, sensual dance, lost in the sweet ecstasy of our lovemaking.

He groaned as I arched my hips and lifted them up and down. I crossed my legs on his waist. He rubbed his thumb over the bundle of nerve endings between my thighs and instantly pleasure exploded through me as we both shuddered.

He groaned as he held me so tight in the last few thrusts. We both led in deep breaths and he lay next to me.

Afterwards, we lay together in the darkness, the silence broken only by our soft, contented sighs. Our bodies still tingled with the memory of the love we had shared, and we were filled with a sense of contentment.

The night stretched on, and we remained in each other's arms, lost in our own private world.

As the night gave way to dawn, I stirred from my slumber. The sun's rays danced across our skin, I saw Damian looking down at me in admiration and he was smiling at me in the soft light of the new day.

“Good morning, Sunshine. Hope you enjoyed your sleep.” Damian said as he rained kisses all over my face.

I can't remember the last time I woke up to “good morning” kisses. Damian is a very sweet guy.

“Good morning, Damian. I slept well” I replied.

“I could stare at your face all day and kiss you all night but we have to eat breakfast. And of course, get ready for work.” Damian was full of smiles

“I ordered breakfast, it'll be here shortly. Just get ready for work, I'll drop you before I head home”. He continued.

“Awwwn. That's so sweet, Damian” I shrieked in delight.

In five minutes time, there was a knock on the door and Damian went to open it. I was left alone in the room. I relished the flashbacks of the previous night. It felt so good to be wrapped up in his arms.

He brought the package to the room and it was pizza and shortbread cookies. I made coffee and we had breakfast at the dining table.

We cleaned up the house and in an hour, we were ready to go to work. I locked the house and got into his SUV as he drove out.

****************

We were still on the way when Claire called me to inform me that I was all over the news. She told me that journalists were putting up several articles concerning Damian's engagement with me.

Apparently, he was a public figure and so every little thing he did would be broadcasted. Publicity is one thing I disliked and Claire called me to be sure that I'm fine. I didn't tell her about my escapades with Damian last night.

I ended the call, promising to call her when I get to work.

“Damian, we are all over the news. Our engagement is causing stirs on social media. What do you think?” I asked.

“It will pass. Some people will be excited about the news while some may not. Just ignore any post that is negative and avoid answering personal questions that will be thrown by journalists. You'll be fine” he said.

His car came to a halt as he reached my store.

“Take care of yourself, Valerie and have a nice day” he said as he drew me close for a kiss.

“Take care of yourself too, Damian.” I got down from the vehicle and he drove off.

***************

It was 2:50 pm.

I was inside my office when I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” I said in response.

My secretary came inside the office.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you, Ma'am. There is a lady at the store. She asked to see you in private and it is quite urgent. Should I bring her in?”

“What is her name?”

“Jade Pierce,” she answered.

The name doesn't sound familiar. “Bring her in.”

“Okay, Ma'am” she left and closed the door behind her.

Few minutes later, my door opened and a lady came in. She was tall and slender with green eyes and blonde long hair which hung freely on her shoulders. She was clad in a very short black gown that stuck to her skin with black heels and sunshades. She looked stunning with her makeup.

“How may I help you, Miss?” I asked with a smile.

“You'll be the one in need of help if you don't adhere to every instruction which I'm going to give you now.” She replied coldly as she took off her sunshades.

“And you are…?” I asked again as I swallowed.

“Jade Pierce. I am Damian's girlfriend and fiancee.”
