601 Words
Lily's POV
Maple Leaf Café was warm and inviting, filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and soft instrumental music.
Lily smiled as she spotted Daniel waving from a corner table.
"Sorry I'm a few minutes late."
"It's okay," Daniel replied, standing to pull out a chair for her. "I just got here myself."
"Thank you."
They spread their notebooks across the table.
For the next hour, they discussed ideas for their business proposal, occasionally laughing whenever one of them made a mistake.
"You know," Daniel said with a smile, "I used to think you were impossible to talk to."
Lily looked up.
"Really?"
"You always looked so focused. I thought you'd ignore me if I ever said hello."
She laughed softly.
"I guess I can seem that way."
"I'm glad I was wrong."
A blush crept onto Lily's cheeks.
Daniel couldn't help admiring her smile. She looked even more beautiful when she laughed.
"You have a really nice smile," he admitted.
Lily looked down shyly.
"Thank you."
A loose strand of hair fell across her face.
Without thinking, Daniel slowly reached out, intending to tuck it behind her ear.
His fingers stopped halfway.
A large hand had caught his wrist.
The warmth in the café vanished.
Daniel looked up.
Standing beside their table was Damian Knight.
His tailored black suit made him stand out among everyone else.
His expression was calm.
Too calm.
"Step away from her."
His voice was low and controlled.
Lily froze.
"It's... you?"
Damian's gray eyes never left Daniel.
"I said, step away."
Daniel gently pulled his hand free.
"Excuse me? We're working on a school project."
"I wasn't speaking to you."
The surrounding conversations gradually died down as people sensed the tension.
Lily stood quickly.
"Mr. Knight, what's going on?"
Damian finally looked at her.
"We're leaving."
Her eyebrows knitted together.
"We?"
"Yes."
"I'm not going anywhere."
For the first time, irritation flickered across Damian's face.
"I need to speak with you."
"You could have asked."
"I am asking now."
"No."
Daniel stepped between them.
"She said no."
Damian's gaze shifted to him.
For a long moment, neither man spoke.
The silence felt heavy.
Then he slowly approached Daniel and whispered in his ears calmly
"Interrupt me again with my woman and I'll cut your balls"
For a moment fear crossed his face but it was gone immediately.
He wanted to respond before Damien dragged the screaming lily out of the cafe
When they were alone in his car he moved close to her making her nervous and he told her
You don't get to talk to any man or let him touch you like that
She was surprised and said hey Mr Man I don't know who the f**k you are but you need to back off and don't meddle in my affairs again
he smiled and whispered lowly in her ear
MINE.
Then he grabbed her neck and kissed her hotly
she was speechless and tried to push him away but it was pushing a brick wall
meanwhile Damien was lost in the taste of her lips. it tasted like strawberry and he was already getting addicted but he had to stop so she could catch her breath
he knew he has crossed the line too fast but that was what she get for being so stubborn,he wanted to punish her
and oh God he loves this punishment.
Lily was still in a daze, but when she heard the car come to life she snapped out of her reverie.
she angrily turned to him and slapped him hardly, Damien was in shock.
