Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. 

He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks.

A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind?

Ch. 39 Excerpt

"Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him.

Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply.

Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat.

"To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.

"You have got to be kidding me" he utters suddenly. "What?" i ask and follow his line of sight down to the ground floor front desk. "Angelo? What's wrong" i ask again, concern creeping into me as I put my hand over his on the table. "Nothing's wrong baby. Just that my sisters are here" he turns to look at me and turns his hand over, so that he grips mine comfortingly. "Oh....oh! Ok, well, we are done here right?" i ask rhetorically, referring to our meal, then pull my hand free and reach for my purse. "Yeah, calm down. It's ok, i just wasn't expecting them to show up here" he says softly, when he notices me getting ready to leave. "No worries" i stand up anyway. "What are you doing?" He asks, alarmed. "Leaving, i will see you later, yeah?" "Marianne, sit down" His eyes narrow at me in an intimidating manner, but i don't cower. "Sit down" he says again, even more assertively. "I am not meeting any more of your family." I mutter. "Sit down! this is not funny" he says under his breath, trying not to bring too much attention to our table, when i look just about ready to leave.

"You are nothing more than a spoiled brat." he whispered in my ear. "I would love to show you the real world, but I do not think you could handle it." he said biting my ear. I whimpered with pain and pleasure. "Yes, I can!" I gasped out. He moved his tongue along my neck. "Uhh... Kane!" I moaned as he lightly nibbled on my neck. "Did I gave you permission to use my name?" he asked squeezing my throat. He was stopping the airwaves. I couldn't breathe. "Stop fighting me." he growled against my neck as I tried to free myself. "Stop!" I said trying so hard to get a taste of air. "You will have to beg for your freedom." he purred letting go slightly. Is he insane?! Why would I beg him? "I'm waiting." he said giving my wrists a violent squeeze. "Please! Stop it! It hurts!" I quickly realized why as he dug his nails into my wrist. "I did not hear you. What do you want exactly?" he questioned bringing my arm to him and licking the singled trail of blood that came from my wrist. I moaned. It was so intoxicating. I never felt like this before and oddly, I liked it. "Please let me go, Mr Anderson." I sniffed trying to hold back tears. He let me go. "The papers." he smirked taking his seat. I got on my knees and picked them up. I stayed there with the papers in my hands. "Are you stuck like that? Put them on the table." he instructed with humor. I tried my best not to look at him as I did. ////////////////////// Kane is a man with a dominant personality. When he becomes Leyla's tutor, she shows no interest in what he says.
