The days following our return from the business trip were a whirlwind. For all the anticipation I had before leaving, I hadn't expected the trip to change things between us so profoundly. Darius had always been intense, but now there was a softness to him that I couldn’t ignore.

Every glance, every touch seemed charged with something deeper. He no longer just commanded me—he wanted me. And the way he looked at me, like I was the most precious thing in his world, made my heart skip a beat every time.

Like the way he would brush my hair back gently, his fingers lingering as if he never wanted to let go. Or when he’d pull me close and rest his forehead against mine, as if we shared a secret that only we understood.

She was an enigma. A contradiction in the best way. One moment, she was shy and reserved, and the next, she was laughing freely, her eyes shining with an innocence I hadn’t seen in a long time. She made me want to protect her, care for her, in ways I never imagined I could feel for anyone.

I was absolutely whipped for her. And I didn’t care.

 And I didn’t care
