Chapter 135

• Damien didn’t let Charlotte go, he had other plans. He had waited so long. So long to be with this woman that he couldn’t stop himself once he started. His hands grazed over her hips. Lifting her dress up and resting his hands on her thighs. It had been years since he had been intimate with a woman. Even all the years he was engaged to Esther, he wasn’t intimate. Charlotte had been the last woman he had been with, he should have known it was always her. That there was no one else for him. She had ruined him. Ruined him for anyone else. And he never wanted anyone else either.
• “Charlotte,” he breathed against her lips. “I need you.” That was all he could say before his lips took her back in for an even more heated kiss. When her lips parted, Damien pushed his tongue into her mouth, and Charlotte moaned. Loudly.
• She wasn’t any different. She had focused on her career and parenting Leo all on her own; she hadn’t had time to date, and the only recent one was with Blake. But she didn’t feel anything like this. Damien’s hands were causing her blood to boil, and she needed him in places no other man had ever touched her but him.
