AmusantTranscription
10:48Once I was inside, I climbed out the bathroom window and hid beneath the one next door.
10:53That bastard Damon had a back-up plan.
10:56He made us look like idiots.
10:57Good thing we bought someone off and got his location.
11:00He didn't bring many guys.
11:01We hit him tonight, break his legs, and see how tough he feels then.
11:06Boss, the Black Jacks know where you're hiding.
11:08They're coming for you tonight.
11:10Get out.
11:12Boss? Boss? Can you hear me?
11:14Tessa, explain something to me.
11:16Why are you calling me from my girlfriend's phone?
11:21In my panic, I'd grabbed the wrong one.
11:24The burner tied to my sweet girl persona.
11:27My feet locked in place.
11:28Cold sweat broke out across my back.
11:31I...
11:32Damon's voice came through again, low and cold.
11:35Wait for me.
11:36You're dead.
11:38With the evidence ready, the Black Jacks walked straight into our trap.
11:42The cops caught them red-handed and took down the whole crew.
11:45The next day, Steel Mercy held a victory dinner at a private steakhouse.
11:49I spent the entire night wide awake, torn between packing a bag and begging Damon for forgiveness.
11:55When I arrived, Damon was nowhere in sight.
11:57Half the pressure in my chest eased.
12:00Fine.
12:01I'd survived another day.
12:02The dinner started loud.
12:03One toast followed another, and soon everyone was drunk.
12:07Tessa!
12:08We couldn't have caught the leak without you.
12:11Wade's face was bright red as he slung an arm around my waist and nearly lifted me off the floor.
12:16Damn right!
12:17Tessa's pretty, and she's sharp as hell.
12:20Boss better make it worth her while.
12:21Zack was even worse.
12:23He stumbled over and pulled me into a crushing hug.
12:27Wait!
12:28Ow!
12:28Ow!
12:28What the hell?
12:29Everyone turned.
12:30Damon stood behind us.
12:32One hand was locked around Zack's wrist like a vice.
12:35He yanked him off me and shoved him aside.
12:38Woo!
12:38Boss!
12:39You made it!
12:41I met Damon's murderous stare.
12:43Thankfully, he barely looked at me before heading for the small stage.
12:47He thanked the brothers for standing together, then announced the cash bonuses waiting for everyone.
12:52Finally, he paused and looked in my direction.
12:55Tessa carried this operation, so this comes from me.
12:58He reached behind him and pulled out two things.
13:01A red leather folder and a velvet box.
13:04The brothers whistled.
13:05Boss was clearly spending big.
13:07The estate deed and jewelry I'd picked out for his proposal?
13:10What the fuck?
13:13Since I was going to die anyway, I might as well drink until I passed out.
13:18Red wine, white wine, bourbon.
13:20I swallowed everything within reach.
13:22Soon the people around me started spinning.
13:25Through the haze, someone caught me before I fell.
13:27He didn't say a word.
13:29He simply bent down and lifted me into his arms.
13:32He smelled like Damon.
13:33Boss, please don't be mad at me.
13:34He paused, then gently patted my back.
13:37The touch was much gentler than Damon's usually was.
13:40I rubbed my cheek against his warm chest and drifted off.
13:43Just before I lost consciousness, I thought I heard a quiet sigh above me.
13:47When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a huge, ridiculously soft bed beneath an unfamiliar chandelier.
13:54The decor, the view, the floor-to-ceiling windows.
13:58This was the mansion I'd helped Damon choose.
14:00Why was I here?
14:01Then I noticed several dresses folded at the foot of the bed.
14:04Floral prints, solid colors, lace trim.
14:07They were the exact clothes I'd picked out for our video calls.
14:11Awake.
14:12I turned and found Damon sitting in an armchair beside the bed.
14:16My heart jumped.
14:17Fear came first.
14:18Then, annoyingly, a little thrill followed.
14:22Boss?
14:25His expression didn't change.
14:26I clasped my hands in front of me.
14:28Please don't dump me in the desert.
14:30I swear I'll work for you until I die.
14:32Damon's temple twitched.
14:33He took a deep breath, like he was trying very hard not to strangle me.
14:37I edged a little closer, watching his reaction.
14:40Boss, I really wasn't trying to play you.
14:42I just couldn't find anyone who fit your requirements, so I filled in for a while.
14:46I...
14:46Shut up.
14:47The room went silent.
14:48After a long moment...
14:49I'll give you one chance to make this right.
14:52Thank you for sparing me, boss.
14:54From now on, you do exactly what I say.
14:57Keep looking for my girlfriend.
14:59Find someone who meets my requirements.
15:01Yes, boss.
15:02And you're staying here.
15:04Sure.
15:04Wait, you mean I'm actually living here?
15:06Damon didn't explain.
15:07He simply turned and walked out.
15:09He pulled me off mechanic duty and made me his personal assistant.
15:13Except for class, I was at his side every day.
15:16But something between us had changed.
15:18He kept looking at me like he wanted to say something, then stopped himself.
15:22The air between us was painfully awkward.
15:25Then again, what else could I expect?
15:27A feared biker boss had been caught acting like a lovesick fool by the very woman working under him.
15:33Of course he was embarrassed.
15:37I kept searching for a woman who fit his requirement.
15:40Damon rejected everyone.
15:42One nose was too sharp.
15:43Another neck was too long.
15:45One afternoon, I slipped into the clubhouse bar during break.
15:49Sean, one of the guys I was closest to, was there.
15:52We joked around for a while.
15:53Then he leaned in and sniffed my neck.
15:56New shampoo, Tessa?
15:57Peach?
16:07I was about to shove him off when my phone rang.
16:10Damon.
16:11He told me to come to his office.
16:13The second I stepped inside, he told me to shut the door and close the window.
16:17I wondered if he had a secret job for me.
16:19Boss, what's up?
16:20You got something classified for me?
16:22Does anyone get to kiss you now?
16:24He must have seen what happened through the office window.
16:27Was he worried it made the club look bad?
16:31That was just messing around.
16:33I swear it won't happen again.
16:35Just messing around?
16:37Then I want one too.
16:40Come here.
16:40Kiss me.
16:42Boss, you're joking, right?
16:43Are you going to kiss me now?
16:46Or should I pin you to the conference table and kiss you in front of the whole club?
16:50Your choice.
16:51How could he threaten me with that same shoot you dead look and say something so ridiculous?
16:56Had he lost his mind?
16:57But Damon never made empty threats.
17:00I pictured dozens of tattooed bikers watching the boss kiss me in front of everyone.
17:04A shiver ran through me.
17:06I hurried over.
17:08Fine.
17:09I'll kiss you.
17:10I was planning to give him the quickest peck possible.
17:12But just before my lips touched his cheek, Damon turned his head.
17:16My mind went blank.
17:18I was kissing the most feared man in Steel Mercy.
17:21Damon's eyes were closed.
17:22His terrifying face softened by something dangerously close to pleasure.
17:27What the hell?
17:28I shut my eyes again.
17:29It was easier that way.
17:30His kiss was gentle.
17:32His hand brushed through my hair.
17:34Almost soothingly.
17:35When Damon finally let me go, my knees nearly gave out.
17:38I grabbed the edge of his desk.
17:45Until I find a girlfriend, I'm kissing you.
17:49I'd made Damon think he'd found a gorgeous girlfriend, then made her disappear without
17:54a trace.
17:54He was bound to be upset.
17:56So letting him kiss me twice seemed fair.
17:59It wasn't like two kisses would kill me.
18:01I talked myself into it pretty quickly.
18:03Then I realized I had badly underestimated how shameless Damon could be.
18:08That night, I went with Damon to the bar next door for a few drinks.
18:12One of the guys there heard I was still in school and offered to set me up.
18:16I forced a smile.
18:17Thanks, man.
18:18By the time we ended, Damon was drunk out of his mind.
18:21So I took him back to the house he'd given me.
18:24I wiped his face, took off his jacket, changed him into pajamas, then made him some soup to
18:29sober him up.
18:30When he finished, he grabbed the hand I was using to wipe his face.
18:33You do this for people often?
18:35Who?
18:36A boyfriend?
18:37No.
18:38Just my mom.
18:38Only then did he grunt and pass out.
18:41I had just showered and climbed into bed when Damon called again.
18:44Come rub my lower back.
18:46It hurts.
18:46I cursed him under my breath, then dragged myself into his room half asleep.
18:51Boss, where does it hurt?
18:53I'll-
18:53I pulled back the covers without thinking.
18:55I was wide awake.
18:56In the soft bedside light, Damon's broad shoulders and hard back were impossible to ignore.
19:02The scars across his skin only made him look more dangerous.
19:06But he was completely naked.
19:08I shot upright.
19:09What the hell are you doing?
19:13Damon slowly turned his head, completely unbothered.
19:16What?
19:18Why aren't you wearing anything?
19:19Where are your pants?
19:20I covered my eyes, my face burning.
19:23I sleep naked.
19:24Got a problem?
19:25Like I was the unreasonable one.
19:27Come rub my back.
19:28Don't make me come get you.
19:29Fine.
19:29I took a deep breath and spent a full minute preparing myself before reaching out.
19:34I kept my eyes locked on his back and focused on the job.
19:38Then Damon rolled over.
19:40No warning.
19:41He flipped onto his back.
19:42My hands froze in midair.
19:44My eyes dropped before I could stop them.
19:46You're shameless!
19:47You're a damn pervert!
19:49I quit!
19:51I'm quitting right now!
19:52I completely lost it, grabbed the nearest pillow, and threw it at his face.
19:57Damon caught it with one hand.
19:58He stared at my burning face, then smiled.
20:01Quit.
20:02You don't get to quit.
20:04You signed your life over to me.
20:05Right.
20:06So much for, I'd go through fire for you.
20:09Lord forgive me.
20:10That night, I rubbed his back until I was sweating, bright red, and questioning every
20:15decision I'd ever made.
20:16When he finally said he was satisfied, I escaped to my room with my face still burning.
20:22Then I pulled the blankets over my head.
20:24The harder I tried not to think about it, the more my brain replayed Damon's hard, smooth
20:30muscles.
20:30And one very obvious part of him, I had no business noticing, but couldn't unsee.
20:37God help me.
20:38My mind was officially ruined.
20:42Mom needed surgery, so I spent the next two weeks camping out at the hospital with her.
20:47When I went to pay the bill, I found out Damon had already covered every cent.
20:52Just like that, all the resentment I had over him messing with me vanished.
20:56The surgery went well.
20:58I texted him to thank him.
20:59After two weeks without seeing him, I stared at the chat and realized something terrible.
21:05I kind of missed him.
21:06It also happened to be his birthday, so I sent him a message.
21:09Boss, happy birthday.
21:10As always, Damon replied in seconds.
21:13That's it?
21:14No gift?
21:14What do you want?
21:15I'm coming over tonight.
21:16I'll tell you then.
21:17I cooked a full spread of his favorite food.
21:20Damon ate until he looked completely satisfied.
21:23When he finally set down his fork.
21:25Boss, thank you.
21:26Really, I screwed up so much.
21:28And you still didn't bury me in the desert.
21:30You even paid for my mom's surgery.
21:32I must have been a saint in my last life to meet you in this one.
21:35You're the best boss in the world.
21:37Damon listened, the corner of his mouth slowly lifting.
21:40Then he reached behind him and set a box in front of me.
21:43Boss, it's your birthday.
21:44Why are you giving me something?
21:45This is the birthday gift I want.
21:46Open it.
21:47Moved, I lifted the lid.
21:48Gratitude froze on my face.
21:53Inside the box was a fox girl outfit.
21:56There was barely any fabric.
21:57It was so thin I could see through it.
22:00And it came with a fluffy tail and a pair of fox ears.
22:02Then I remembered, back when we were dating online, I had once sent him a flirty fox sticker.
22:08Damon had sent a voice message saying he wanted to see me wear it.
22:11And because I had apparently wanted to die, I replied, depends on how good you are.
22:16I slammed the box shut.
22:18No, absolutely not.
22:20That's the birthday gift I want.
22:22I was so mad, I started cussing.
22:24Damon, you dirty bastard.
22:25You pervert.
22:26You shameless creep.
22:27He didn't get mad.
22:29Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said lazily,
22:32Put it on and keep cussing me out.
22:34I like it when you cuss at me.
22:35No, absolutely not.
22:37If you don't want to wear it, then wear nothing.
22:39Just the ears and tail work too.
22:40Fuck.
22:41I hadn't gotten a single word wrong.
22:43In the end, I still shuffled into the bathroom like a coward.
22:47After I changed, the shame nearly killed me.
22:50That scrap of fabric barely covered anything.
22:52But if I walked out covering my face and acting shy, I'd look even more pathetic.
22:58I was a grown woman.
22:59It was just some stupid fabric.
23:01Big deal.
23:02I spent forever talking myself into it, then forcing myself to walk out.
23:07But I had one last demand.
23:09Boss, you creep.
23:10Turn off the overhead light.
23:14Damon actually did it.
23:15His gaze dragged over me from head to toe.
23:18My whole body burned under his stare.
23:20Even my ears felt hot.
23:21Have you looked enough?
23:23If you're done, I'm changing back.
23:24I had just turned to run when he caught my wrist.
23:27The room spun.
23:28The next second, Damon had me pinned under him on the soft bed.
23:32Before I could make a sound, Damon kissed me.
23:34Hard.
23:35My mind went blank.
23:36He kissed me until my body went soft and my breathing turned messy.
23:41You're blushing.
23:42I'm not.
23:43Damon let out a low laugh.
23:46Then let me turn on the lights.
23:47No!
23:47I grabbed his wrist to stop him, but his mouth found mine again.
23:51This kiss was slower, hotter.
23:53His hand slid to the ridiculous foxtail at my waist, and that snapped me awake.
23:58No!
23:59I can't do this.
24:01Absolutely not.
24:02You called me a dirty bastard?
24:04I was just proving you right.
24:08Boss, please.
24:10My voice cracked.
24:11My mom just got out of surgery.
24:13You paid for everything.
24:15If I let this happen tonight, I won't know if I chose you, or if I'm trying to pay you
24:20back.
24:21Damon went still.
24:22He stayed above me, his chest rising and falling.
24:25For a long moment, he only looked at me.
24:27The heat in his eyes faded little by little.
24:30Then he closed his eyes, pulled back, and put distance between us.
24:34Enough.
24:35He pulled the blanket over me.
24:36This stops here.
24:38I didn't pay for your mom, so you don't owe me anything.
24:42Damon?
24:42You're free.
24:43After that night, Damon never came back.
24:46When school started, I went to register and found out my tuition had been paid for the next few years.
24:51My meal account was loaded with enough money to feed me until I burst.
24:55Sean came by with Damon's message.
24:57From now on, I should focus on school and stop looking for him.
25:02For some reason, I wasn't happy at all.
25:06Then one night, I was buying food near campus when I saw the guy who sold smoked turkey legs.
25:12His food truck was still there.
25:14He had even framed a lab report in gold, proving his turkey legs were real.
25:19I pulled out my phone and called Sean.
25:22Sean, that turkey leg guy is still alive?
25:24Didn't boss say he was going to bury him?
25:26Sean's disgusted voice came through the phone.
25:29Are you insane?
25:30Boss meant those fake turkey legs.
25:32Who said anything about burying a person?
25:34I went silent.
25:35He even helped the guy find a real supplier afterward.
25:38And besides, boss took this club over from his uncle.
25:41He spent years cutting us loose from the dirty stuff.
25:44You really think he'd bury some food truck guy over nothing?
25:48What the hell is wrong with your head?
25:49I held the phone and couldn't speak for a long time.
25:53Then, how is boss doing?
25:55The blackjacks still won't give up.
25:57Keep pulling cheap moves from the shadows.
26:00Boss's been busy as hell lately.
26:03Cheap moves?
26:04Is he okay?
26:04Did anything-
26:05Enough.
26:05I've got a mess to handle.
26:07Talk later.
26:11On my way home, I kept thinking about how the blackjacks might come after Damon.
26:16The second I reached my apartment door, cold metal pressed against the back of my head.
26:20Don't scream.
26:21A black hood dropped over my face.
26:23By the time my head cleared, my wrists and ankles were tied with zip ties.
26:28I was in the back of a van, bouncing over Ruck Road.
26:31Several men were cussing around me.
26:33You sure grabbing this girl at work?
26:35Cross has been choking us out lately.
26:37You really think he'll come alone for one mechanic?
26:39Shut up.
26:40I watched him for weeks.
26:41He used to come here every day.
26:43Lately, he doesn't go inside, but he still parks downstairs half the night.
26:47She's not just some mechanic.
26:49So what is she?
26:50What do you think?
26:51She's the boss's little biker bitch.
26:52The van burst into laughter.
26:55Then it stopped.
26:55Someone ripped the hood off my head.
26:57I was thrown onto the floor of an empty warehouse.
27:00Seven or eight men stood around me.
27:02One of them pressed a gun under my jaw.
27:04Not long after, steady footsteps sounded outside the metal door.
27:08I looked up.
27:09My heart missed a beat.
27:10Damon really came.
27:13Alone.
27:14No brothers.
27:15No gun in his hands.
27:16He walked in against the light, step by step.
27:19Well, Cross.
27:20Big balls coming here alone.
27:22One of the men slapped the barrel against my face and laughed.
27:25Damon's eyes dropped to my wrists, then to the gun at my chin.
27:29I brought the money.
27:30Enough for you to disappear and live clean somewhere else.
27:33Let her go.
27:34Let her go?
27:35Sure.
27:36Get on your knees first.
27:38Maybe I'll think about it.
27:39I had followed Damon for so long.
27:41I had never seen him bow to anyone.
27:43But the next second, Damon slowly bent his knees.
27:46He knelt on the cold concrete.
27:48The sound hit my chest like a punch.
27:50The men burst out laughing.
27:52Film this!
27:53The mighty boss of Steel Mercy kneeling for a garage girl?
27:57Where's that temper now, Cross?
27:59Come on.
28:00Say please.
28:01Maybe bark for us.
28:03Hell, Cross.
28:03With faces like yours, we could put both of you in a brothel and make a fortune.
28:07They laughed louder and louder.
28:09I watched them humiliate Damon, and my teeth clenched until my jaw hurt.
28:14Behind my back, I twisted my wrists again and again.
28:18Damon had taught me once how to slip out of zip ties in the garage.
28:21I never thought I'd actually need it.
28:23The last tie finally gave.
28:25I shot to my feet.
28:27Boss!
28:29The second Damon heard me, his eyes went cold.
28:32His hand dropped to his belt.
28:34A short knife slid into his palm.
28:36The man with the pipe swung at him.
28:38Damon stepped in, caught his wrist, and drove the knife through the sleeve of his jacket,
28:43pinning his arm to a wooden crate.
28:45Then Damon kicked him hard in the chest.
28:47The man crashed backward, and the pipe clattered across the floor.
28:51After that, it wasn't a fight.
28:53It was Damon.
28:54Fast.
28:55Brutal.
28:55Clean.
28:56In seconds, half the men were down.
28:58Then one of them yanked a gun from his waistband and aimed it at me.
29:02Damon spun and stepped in front of me.
29:04He knocked the gun aside, twisted it from the man's hand, and slammed his elbow into his face.
29:10The man dropped.
29:11A few minutes later, the warehouse was full of men groaning on the floor.
29:14Once they couldn't fight back, I rushed over and kicked the loudest one in the stomach.
29:19That's for running your mouth.
29:21Then I kicked him between the legs.
29:23And that's for insulting my boss.
29:25Good luck using that again.
29:26Only then did I feel better.
29:28I dusted off my hands and turned to Damon.
29:32Boss, let's go.
29:33We made it out and got far enough to breathe.
29:35I had just relaxed when Damon suddenly swayed beside me.
29:39Boss?
29:39His face was white.
29:41Then his body went slack, and he fell straight toward me.
29:46When Damon was rushed into the ER, I finally found out he had been shot.
29:50The bullet had torn into his shoulder when he stepped in front of me.
29:54He was wearing a black jacket, so I hadn't noticed the blood at all.
29:58And he still held on long enough to take all those men down and get me somewhere safe.
30:02The doctor said he had lost too much blood.
30:05If we had come any later, it could have gone very badly.
30:08For the next few days, I stayed by his hospital bed.
30:11Late at night, I listened to the steady beeps from the monitor.
30:14Every moment I had spent with him kept flashing through my head.
30:18My chest hurt like someone had grabbed my heart.
30:21I had never felt this way about anyone before.
30:23I couldn't explain it.
30:24It was hot and heavy, stuck in my chest.
30:27And I was too scared to think about what it meant.
30:30On the third afternoon, Damon finally woke up.
30:33Damon!
30:33I threw myself forward and grabbed his hand.
30:36You're finally awake.
30:37Do you know how badly you scared me?
30:39Damon looked at me weakly.
30:40Then he reached up and brushed the tears from the corner of my eye.
30:43I choked up.
30:44I need to tell you something.
30:46These days, I really miss you.
30:47And I think I might-
30:48Before I could finish, the door opened.
30:51A girl walked in.
30:52Tall, pretty, with delicate features and freckles across her nose.
30:56Wasn't that exactly what Damon had asked for?
30:58So he had found her after all.
31:02The girl's eyes turned red when she saw Damon awake.
31:05Then she looked at my hand, still holding his, and gave me a polite smile.
31:08You're Tessa, right?
31:09Damon told me about you.
31:10Thank you for staying with him these past few days.
31:12I'll take care of him from here.
31:14I let go of his hand, little by little.
31:16Right.
31:16Damon had always wanted a sweet, pretty girl.
31:19I was just the one who lied to him.
31:20What right did I have to stay?
31:22Okay.
31:23He's yours.
31:24I didn't dare look at Damon again.
31:25I turned and fled the room.
31:27Life slipped back into its old routine.
31:29Classes during the day.
31:30Hospital at night.
31:31Bringing mom dinner.
31:32That night, after dinner, mom sat down her fork and suddenly said,
31:36Sweetheart, did someone break your heart?
31:37My stomach jumped.
31:39I forced out a dry laugh.
31:40No.
31:40What are you talking about?
31:42No?
31:42Then why have you been moping around for two weeks?
31:45I looked away.
31:45She sighed, then changed the subject.
31:47By the way, where's that Damon boy?
31:49He hasn't come by lately.
31:50I froze.
31:51Why are you asking about him?
31:53As far as I remember, I had only brought mom to meet Damon once,
31:56back when I wanted her to believe I had found a real job.
31:58When you were busy with classes, he came to check on me.
32:01During my surgery, he talked to the doctors,
32:04asked about every option, and found me the best surgeon he could.
32:09I kept wondering why a biker boss would do that much for one little employee.
32:14He had never told me any of that.
32:16That place in my chest started burning again.
32:18Hot, sour, out of control.
32:21Tessa, your dad and I owed you better.
32:23You lost him too young, and then I got sick.
32:26You were just a kid, but you had to carry everything.
32:28My nose stung.
32:29I forced a smile and patted my chest.
32:32Mom, don't say that.
32:33I'll graduate, get a good job, marry some nice, normal guy, have a kid, and make dad proud.
32:39Mom smacked the back of my head.
32:41That was your father's old-fashioned nonsense talking.
32:44I loved the man, but he was wrong about plenty.
32:46But dad always wanted me to...
32:47He wanted a lot of things.
32:48I only want one.
32:50I stared at her.
32:50She looked at me, slow and serious.
32:53I want my daughter happy.
32:54My mouth opened, but nothing came out.
32:57Mom picked up her fork again like she hadn't just blown up my whole life.
33:01If you bring home some nice, safe man, great.
33:04I'll set another plate.
33:06Then she glanced at me.
33:07And if one day you bring home a scary biker boss with tattoos and a bad temper,
33:12I'll still set another plate.
33:14I sat there with my mouth open for a long time.
33:19That night, I somehow ended up walking toward the Steel Mercy clubhouse.
33:23By the time I came to myself, I was already standing outside the familiar bar.
33:27The main room was loud.
33:28Music, beer, engines outside.
33:31But the light in Damon's office was still on.
33:33I gritted my teeth and went in.
33:35His office door was half open.
33:37Damon was there.
33:38He sat behind the desk, one shoulder still wrapped in bandages.
33:41When he heard me, he looked up.
33:43The second he saw me, his eyes paused.
33:45Then his voice went cold.
33:47What are you doing here?
33:48Boss, how's your shoulder?
33:50It's nothing.
33:51Thank you for coming to save me that day.
33:53I...
33:54They came after you because of me.
33:56I would have gone no matter who they took.
33:57Don't read into it.
33:58And don't think you owe me.
33:59The air froze.
34:00If that's all, go home.
34:02I told you, stop coming here.
34:03I stood there, unable to move.
34:05After a long silence, I still asked.
34:08That girl in the hospital, is she your girlfriend?
34:10What does that have to do with you?
34:12Maybe he had spoiled me too much these past few months,
34:14because I suddenly couldn't stand him talking to me like that.
34:17My nose stung.
34:18Then my temper rose.
34:20Why are you being so mean?
34:21Damon froze.
34:22I'm not.
34:23You are.
34:23Your voice is mean.
34:26He dragged a hand through his hair, annoyed.
34:29But his voice softened before he could stop it.
34:31She's my sister.
34:32Your sister?
34:34Then why did she have freckles too?
34:36Damon, don't tell me your dream girl was based on your own sister.
34:39That's seriously...
34:41Are you insane?
34:43He laughed in anger.
34:44She drew those on.
34:45Some stupid makeup trend.
34:47When did I ever say I wanted someone like my sister?
34:49He stared at me.
34:50I was looking for someone like you.
34:51The office went dead silent.
34:53Me?
34:54I pointed at my own nose.
34:55Sure, I had heard it wrong.
34:57Damon seemed to realize what he had said.
34:59He turned his face away.
35:00Get out.
35:00Don't come back.
35:01No, explain.
35:02I said, get out.
35:04If you don't explain, I'll walk into the bar right now and tell every guy here that
35:09you begged your online girlfriend for Fox Girl pictures.
35:11Damon slowly looked back at me.
35:13I'd been dating him online for months.
35:15I knew exactly what worked on him.
35:16So I walked around the desk and sat right on his lap.
35:19Damon's whole body went stiff.
35:21Tessa?
35:22Explain.
35:22His hand hovered near my waist, like he wanted to hold me and didn't dare.
35:28After a long moment, he shut his eyes and let out a rough breath.
35:32I swear to God, I owed you in a past life.
35:34I nodded immediately.
35:35You're the one who wanted to hear it.
35:37Don't regret it.
35:38I won't.
35:38Last time you had that fever, I took you home.
35:40You were half out of your mind.
35:42You grabbed my shirt, crawled into my arms, and refused to let go.
35:45That's when I knew something was wrong with me.
35:47That's why I told you to find me a girlfriend.
35:49I gave you your own damn description because I was trying to find someone close enough to
35:53you.
35:53There.
35:54Happy?
35:54I finally remembered that fever.
35:56I had been burning up, half awake, ordering Damon to make soup, ring towels, and help me change.
36:02The next morning, I woke up curled against his chest.
36:04Back then, I even laughed at him for looking like he hadn't slept all night.
36:08So that was why.
36:09Get out.
36:09Damon lifted me off his lap and set me on my feet.
36:12Then he turned away.
36:13I walked around the desk and hugged him from behind, careful of his injured shoulder.
36:17I'm not leaving.
36:18I want to stay with you.
36:19For good.
36:20I don't need that.
36:21I do.
36:21I held him tighter.
36:22I finally realized I'm no good without you.
36:27Damon turned around and frowned at me.
36:29Where did you learn to talk like that?
36:30I blinked at him, dead serious.
36:32Took a class.
36:33His face darkened.
36:34I sent you to school, and this is what you're studying?
36:37Give me the name.
36:38I'll shut it down tomorrow.
36:40I couldn't help laughing.
36:41Idiot.
36:42Then I wrapped my arms around his neck, rose on my toes, and kissed him.
36:46Damon froze.
36:47For a second, he kissed me back.
36:49Then he pushed me away.
36:51I told you, this is gratitude.
36:52I don't want it.
36:53It's not gratitude.
36:54I looked straight at him.
36:55I just wanted to kiss you.
36:57His face went blank.
36:58I kept going before I lost my nerve.
37:00I missed you every day.
37:01And my mom said I don't have to chase a safe, ordinary life just to make everyone else happy.
37:06She said if I bring home a decent man, she'll set another place.
37:10And if I bring home a scary biker boss with a bad temper, she'll still set another place.
37:15Something dark and hot flashed in Damon's eyes.
37:18It burned straight through me.
37:20His voice dropped low.
37:22Do you know what you're saying?
37:23Once I believe you, I won't let you walk away again.
37:25I know.
37:26I grabbed the front of his cut.
37:28Then don't.
37:30The next second, Damon caught me around the waist and lifted me onto the edge of his desk.
37:35His mouth crashed into mine, fierce with everything he'd been holding back.
37:38I melted against him and clutched his shoulders.
37:40Say it.
37:42Say what?
37:43His hand tightened at my waist.
37:44My name, not boss.
37:46Not because you owe me.
37:47Say my name because you want me.
37:49Da- Damon.
37:51Again, get it wrong once, and I add another round tonight.
37:53I blushed and called, my voice trembling.
37:56Honey.
37:56But the bastard didn't stop.
37:57Then he kissed me until I forgot every clever thing I'd planned to say.
38:01Later, I curled up on the couch, wrapped in Damon's jacket, and glaring at him.
38:04You're impossible.
38:05And muttered, nudging his light with my foot.
38:07And your desk is terrible for my back.
38:09Damon pulled me against his side, looking far too pleased with himself.
38:12Easy, sweetheart.
38:13I'm sorry.
38:13He paused, then leaned close to my ear.
38:15A wicked smile touched his mouth.
38:17Next time we'll go home.
38:19BANG!
38:20BANG!
38:20BANG!
38:20BANG!
38:21BANG!
38:21BANG!
38:21BANG!
