Forbidden Flames: Dangerous Cravings

Chapter 16

Lila stormed into Damien’s office during lunch hour, closing the door behind her with more force than necessary.

The rumors had been spreading all morning, whispers in the hallways, strange looks from colleagues, and questions about her frequent late nights with the CEO.

“We need to talk,” she said, her voice tight with stress and anger. “The rumors are getting worse. People are starting to ask questions about us. About why I’m always in your office after hours.”

Damien looked up from his desk, his expression calm but his eyes darkening with the same tension she was feeling. He set down the papers he was reading and stood up slowly.

“I heard the same things this morning,” he replied, walking around the desk toward her. “But running away from this isn’t going to make it stop. We have to deal with it.”

Lila crossed her arms, trying to maintain some distance even though her body was already responding to his presence. The stress of the rumors was eating at her, making her feel exposed and vulnerable.

“This is exactly what I was afraid of from the beginning,” she said, her voice shaking slightly. “My career is on the line. If the board finds out, I’m finished. And you… you have a wife and a reputation to protect. We’re playing with fire, Damien.”

Damien stopped just a foot away from her, the air between them thick with unresolved desire and shared stress. His eyes never left hers.

“I know the risks better than anyone,” he said, his voice low and intense. “But ignoring what’s between us isn’t going to make it go away. The tension is killing me, Lila. I can see it’s affecting you too. You look exhausted. You’re carrying this weight alone.”

Lila’s heart was pounding. The stress of the rumors, the fear of being exposed, and the overwhelming attraction she felt for Damien all mixed together into a dangerous cocktail of emotions.

“I’m terrified,” she admitted, her voice cracking. “Every time someone looks at me strangely, I wonder if they know. But I can’t stop thinking about you. Even when I try to focus on work, you’re there in my mind.”

Damien reached out and pulled her into his arms, kissing her hard and possessively. Lila kissed him back with equal intensity, her hands gripping his shirt as weeks of built-up tension finally broke free.

“Lock the door,” she whispered against his lips, her voice filled with urgent need.

Damien moved quickly, locking the office door and pulling down the blinds with swift movements. When he turned back to her, his eyes were dark with hunger and determination.

“Come here,” he commanded, his voice rough with desire.

Lila went to him willingly, her body already aching for him. Damien lifted her up and sat her on the edge of his large desk, pushing papers aside without care. He kissed her deeply as he pushed her skirt up around her waist.

The s*x was extremely rough and passionate. Damien dominated her completely, taking control in a way that made Lila feel both powerless and incredibly desired. He bent her over the desk, entering her in one powerful thrust.

“f**k, you feel so good,” he growled, pounding into her hard and fast. The sound of their bodies meeting filled the office.

Lila moaned loudly, gripping the edge of the desk as he took her relentlessly. The stress of the rumors, the fear of discovery, and the intense pleasure all mixed together.

“Damien… harder,” she gasped, pushing back against him.

He obliged, his hand coming down in a sharp slap on her ass as he thrust deeper. The mix of pleasure and slight pain made her cry out.

“You’re mine,” he said, his voice rough with possession. “No one else gets to have you like this. No one else makes you feel this way.”

Lila’s orgasm hit her hard and fast. She came with a muffled cry, her body shaking violently as waves of pleasure crashed through her. Damien followed soon after, groaning her name as he finished deep inside her.

They stayed connected for a long moment, both breathing heavily. The rough s*x had released some of the built-up stress, but the emotional weight remained heavy between them.

Afterward, they sat together on the couch in the corner of the office, still naked and tangled together. Damien held her close, stroking her hair gently with his fingers.

“This is getting dangerous,” Lila said softly, her head on his chest. “The rumors are spreading fast. If we’re not careful, everything will come crashing down around us.”

Damien kissed the top of her head tenderly. “I know. But I’m not ready to give you up. We’ll be more careful. We can make this work if we’re smart about it.”

Lila looked up at him, her eyes filled with emotion. “I’m scared, Damien. Really scared. But I don’t want to lose what we have either. You make me feel things I’ve never felt before.”

While they were still naked and tangled together on the couch, a sudden knock sounded on the locked office door.

Damien’s personal assistant called out from the other side, “Sir, your wife is on the line and she sounds upset.”
