Damien’s eyes followed Bella from across the office with a hunger that refused to be tamed. She had no idea how much he watched her, how every small movement, every blush, every nervous bite of her lip, ignited something feral in him. He had tried to play it cool, maintaining the mask of the ruthless CEO, but beneath it, obsession was clawing its way to the surface.
Bella, unaware of the intensity in Damien’s gaze, worked diligently at her desk, her fingers flying over the keyboard, emails piling up in neat but hurried stacks. She was determined to prove herself, to show that she wasn’t just a pretty face in his office—a fact Damien found both infuriating and intoxicating. Every time she ignored him, it only made his desire sharper, a coiled tension that threatened to snap.
Lucas, Damien
