Let's Play

The Loophole

Damien

I set her down on the bed as I laid next to her. I couldn't stop my lips as they drew towards her head like a magnet. The gesture almost seemed too affectionate, but she was dead asleep anyway. She wouldn't notice.

I didn't know what to think about tonight. I had never gone down on my knees for any woman. But the fire in her eyes and the confidence that rolled off her tongue put me in a trance. It was like at that moment I was hers to command. And I loved the way she tasted, like the sweetest fruit.

I also felt guilty though. She didnt deserve what she went through. From not being able to go home today, to being trashed by the media... all I knew is that she wouldn't be in this mess if it wasnt for me.

I looked over at her and sighed. The further I let this continue the worse it was going to get. The media would be all over her now and it wasnt like we could sue them all for the negative stories they wrote. They would keep going after her and if tonight was any indication to how she would handle it, she would be crushed.

I rolled onto my side and pulled Jessika against my chest, burying my face in her hair. She muttered something under her breath but didnt move, still sound asleep. She had used my shampoo earlier but I could still smell a slight coconut scent that calmed my senses. This was nice, laying with her. But I had to make sure this was one of the last times.

I had to win this game. I had to win this game so that I could let her go. Let her walk away from Hart Management and the bullshit that came with it. She was too good for this place. In her first week she had proven to be the best damn PA I've ever had. I would miss her work, but I would make sure she had the best possible employment after me.

I wouldn't enjoy breaking her heart. At first I thought maybe I would. I enjoyed all of the countless other times I did. But not this time. If we hadn't had agreed to play this game, I would have spared her and let her go now. But if I threw in the towel now i would be admitting defeat. And there's no way that this heart of mine can love someone so that was impossible.

I took one last look at her sleeping form before drifting off to sleep myself. For a split second, I wondered what a world loving Jess would be like. But I didnt have time to think about it much before sleep took a hold of me. I'm sure my dreams were just as sweet that night.

Jessika

I woke up to the smell of breakfast being made. I couldn't tell what exactly but it was enough to make my stomach growl in excitement. I rolled over to see if Damien was still next to me, but he wasnt. I'm not sure if he slept next to me all night or not. I wanted to say I couldn't care less what he did last night but a small part of me did...

I rolled out of bed, stretching my limbs and grabbing the fluffy robe that I had discarded on the floor last night. Wrapping it around me, I padded across the hall to brush my teeth and fix my hair. Damien definitely wasnt ready for this morning breath and bed head.

After deciding that my appearance was somewhat acceptable I rounded the corner to find Damien in the kitchen. The island in the kitchen was covered in food, from chocolate chip pancakes, blueberry waffles, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, etc.

My mouth started to water at the scene before me. And not just from the food. Seeing Damien in the kitchen, shirtless, grey sweatpants doing little to hide the bulge in his pants, was sexy as hell. The breakfast food wasnt the only thing I wanted to taste...

Damien seemed to hear me coming. Without even turning around he started to speak: "I know I said I would take you out for breakfast but I figured I'd make it instead, let you sleep in a bit later-"
