A One Night Kiss

Chapter 4

DAMON

I was surprised to see the media at the hotel

Camera flashes everywhere, but what surprised me most was the sight of a young woman behind my bed. Her eyes twinkled as they trembled in fear at the constant flashing from those damn paparazzi.

She looked so beautiful, biting her lips and shielding herself from the camera's.

Fuck! She looked beautiful but the fact I was naked down there made my eyes hardened.

Did we just have s*x?! I hope not because I would be damned if Father finds out about this mess.

I offered her money to keep her shut but she tossed it to my face.

Damnit! My body tensed at the sight of her audacity— that fierce gaze locked on mine.

There was something about her. I can feel it but still, I have no idea how I ended up with her last night. All I remember was having a few drinks with Henry and the boys. My head spun when I tried to recall what happened after I got wasted but I just couldn't remember anything. Someone must have done this.

“Boss,” Jones cut in and I raised my gaze, settling deep into his eyes, “Should we take care of her? Your father is going to kill you if he finds out about what happened here. We cannot allow such a scandal.”

“It's fine, let her go but do me a favor, Jones.” I said.

“Anything boss,” he answered.

“I need to know what happened last night, get me the surveillance tape on how she got in. Something isn't right. And make sure not a word is disclosed outside, else, you can forget about your job.”

“Noted boss,” he trembles, bowing before me before he leaves the room.

“Who the hell is she?!” I snap, grabbing my hair as I let out a deep growl, rumbling from my chest. “f**k! Did I just f**k a random stranger? Really?! Damon.”

****

I focus on getting home after rushing out of the hotel with Jones and the rest of the bodyguards. On our way home, all I could think about is the strange woman. I am not the reckless type to f**k around with women; if I am being honest, this happens to be my first time having a one-night stand.

“Here you go, boss,” Jones cut me off; he handed me the tape I requested at the hotel.

My eyes flickered at his mobile phone before I finally muster the courage to take it.

“What the f**k?!” I yelled.

I can tell she's f*****g pure with how she moved her body around me. She looked drugged and so was I. Something caught my attention at the beginning of the video and I took it back to have a clear view.

Who the hell did this?

Henry!

My eyes widened like it could pop out anytime. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, they spiked my drink and brought the young lady in. She is just another victim. That explains her anger earlier.

I was a total jerk to toss her some cash.

I bet she hates me already for doing that to her.

Jones looked worried as his eyes landed on me; he was not just my bodyguard but like my big brother. Father made him watch over me since I was a child and I wouldn't have become a responsible man if not for Jones' guidance. I made him my assistant when I started my company. He never liked Henry and the boys but I ignored his instincts.

“What is it?” He asked, but I lied.

“It's nothing, let's just go home. Are you sure you didn't watch this?” I asked but he shook his head.

“Alright then,” I replied.

****

We finally arrived at the mansion, and my legs started shaking like jelly, but Jones held my hand, massaging my ego to step out. I took the first step out and watched the entire housekeeper bow before me. It has always been like that since I was young. I guess that's what you get for being the governor's son.

Yes— my father happens to be the governor.

I sighed before entering the house, but then, I felt a heavy smack landing on my cheek.

“What the hell?!” I snapped but suddenly gulped down my saliva when I saw Father's blazing gaze on me.

I was in so much trouble, I knew it.

“What the hell have you done? What is this?” He shouted, tossing some photographs of me and some girl. “Stay away from those riffraffs but you never listen. How can you tarnish the reputation of this family? What will my congressman say about me?”

“I-I,” I stuttered, my cheek flushing red as I rubbed it gently.

“Cat got your tongue?!” He roared, slamming his fist on my face for the second time. “Fix this and do it fast before it gets out of control, do I make myself clear? I want her brought to me before the day runs out. You know what? Just stay the hell inside; Jones will handle it. Don't do anything stupid until this news dies down, do you understand?”

“Yes sir,” I answered, trembling before him.

Father has always been strict when it comes to his reputation. He will never allow anything come between him and his career. Sometimes, I wish Mother was still alive because staying with Father can be intolerable sometimes.

“Jones!” He growled, his eyes shooting daggers at my bodyguard.

I feared for Jones.

“Yes boss,” he answered immediately.

“Make sure this story doesn't get out. I have done my part, handle the rest, and if I don't get the girl before midnight, you can say goodbye to your job,” he roared.

He storms out without sparing us a glance and my chest knotted in confusion.

“What do I do?” I turn to Jones, my eyes flickering without a care.
