Chapter 89: Interrupted Desire-3
Damien groaned, tightening his hold. “Yeah, well, my kind of heat doesn’t cool off with an indoor shoot… or a cold shower. Maybe you should just move in here with me, hmm?”
She turned her head slightly, cheeks flushing a soft pink as she met his gaze with a playful, shy smile. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” she murmured, a little breathless. “Besides, my boss already said this is a work trip, not a vacation. Isn’t that right, Mr. Blackwood?”
He pulled back just enough to meet her gaze, a sly smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.” I see… well, Ms. Thompson, if that’s how it is, I’ll let Trina know you’re taking the day off-for a private meeting with the boss. My orders. Sound fair?”
Maya smiled, “Tempting offer, but I’ll have to decline. Can’t risk mixing business with pleasure. Besides, I’d hate for the boss to get distracted during a meeting.”
A knowing smile curved his lips.
“Fair point. Fine… but when we get back, I expect private time with my future wife to settle unfi nished business.”
Maya smiled, cheeks flushing as her heart hammered in her chest. “I’ll think about it…” Then, surprising him, she turned in his arms, rose onto her toes, and captured his mouth in a slow, tender kiss-soft and full of promise. “Goodnight… my future husband.”
His eyes darkened, fingers curling tightly around her waist, drawing her impossibly close.” God, you’re killing me.”
She smiled against his lips, then pulled back just enough to reach for her purse.
But Damien caught her again, his gaze smoldering with raw need, and his lips claimed hers once more-slow, possessive, devouring.
He pulled back just enough to murmur against her skin, “I love you.”
His words stirred something fierce inside her. His deeper, demanding kiss bound them-soul and flesh.
Breaking the kiss, his voice dropped low, hoarse and rough with need.
“You’re mine. Only mine. Maya Serene Thompson.”
The weight of his claim sent a shiver through her, heat pooling deep in her belly. His mouth found hers again-urgent, hungry-lips coaxing hers open as he whispered fiercely, “Say it.”

Her breath caught, cheeks flushed crimson, but she held his gaze, voice soft and certain. “I love you too.”
And with one final, breathless kiss-both tender and fierce-she sealed their bond.
“And yes… I’m yours, Damien Blackwood.”
His arms tightened around her, as if holding her close could freeze time-anchor this moment, this feeling, deep inside his heart.
He exhaled hard, forehead against hers, fingers gripping her waist. His voice dropped, rough and ragged.
“You’re not making this easy for me, love.”
“You’ll survive…” she whispered, a soft smile curving her lips as her breath warmed his skin. Her voice held quiet certainty-gentle, yet threaded with just enough tease to leave him aching for more.
“You’re worth the wait,” he murmured softly into her ear.
Reluctantly, he loosened his hold, fingers tracing a final caress along her jaw. Wordless, he took her hand and led her to the door.
He opened it-only to be met with chaos.
