Chapter 6
The next morning, I slept in.
I didn’t realize that Damon had left for work, until one of the house staff reminded me. He left me a note and said that I was welcome to use anything in the house, including his Ferrari.
But I was too nervous to go near that.
I couldn’t believe the freedom that I felt walking through the bush trails behind his house. I felt like a princess and I pictured Damon riding on the back of the horse with his arms around me.
I giggled when I thought about his inability to control himself around me for a moment in the previous evening.
Briefly, I wondered what it would feel like to feel Damon inside of me. Then I shrugged off the thought, getting uncomfortably warm inside.
Damon arrived home late in the afternoon as I was exiting the shower, catching me with a towel wrapped around my naked body.
“How did the staff treat you?” he asked, obviously wondering what I looked like under the towel.
“Wonderfully. You have chosen some wonderful people to help out in this place. My every need was attended to before I could even think of it.”
I dreaded the thought of having to leave to go home the next day. It felt like I was at a wonderful spa on vacation. Every stress in my life had disappeared under the blanket of luxury.
I could get very used to this lifestyle.
“Would you like to grab a cup of coffee before dinner? There is a amazing vendor a couple blocks from here with the best java around.”
“That sounds really great,” I agreed.
And it did.
I had never been treated so nicely.
I began to make a move to get dressed and Damon remained standing at the door. In a moment of sheer bravery, I dropped the towel and exposed my naked body.
Damon’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
That was the reaction I was after.
He couldn’t take his off my curves.
I knew he wanted it.
But he would have to wait.
When his eyes finally raised off my body to meet mine, I smiled at him.
“I would really love a coffee.”
He met my gaze with a grin.
He was right about the coffee, it was amazing.
I never thought a cup of coffee could surprise me so much!
“The beans for this coffee have been sourced from the high mountains of Papua New Guinea. I’m told it is the best place in the world to grow coffee beans.”
“Papua New Guinea? I don’t even know where that is.”
“It’s a country off the top of Australia. I travelled there once when I was a lot younger.”
“And you had great coffee there?”
“Um… no. It was a long time ago but my clearest memory of the place was being chased by a man with a large knife.”
“Oh. That doesn’t sound like fun.”
There was a long pause between us as we sipped more of the coffee.
I wanted to talk all about my day but I held my tongue hoping he would start the next conversation.
As the seconds ticked by, I almost exploded in withheld conversation.
“You’ll have to excuse me if I’m a little bit shy about some things with you,” he finally stated, “This is all a little new to me. My inner shy guy is that chubby nerd with glasses that everybody looked right past. I guess my approach isn’t exactly player status.”
His vulnerability peered through his billionaire exterior every once in awhile, and it amazed me. I was at a loss for words to explain a strong, confident billionaire who isn’t debonair with the ladies.
“You? Nerdy?... I mean… Hardly!” I wrinkled my eyebrows in response.
“Oh, ugly duckling for sure,” he continued, “Growing up, I never fitted in. I even had braces.”
“Wow,” I laugh, “Oh, sorry… but I have a hard time picturing that!”
“It’s true and essentially, I’m still shy. I’m confident in a board room but outside of
