My Possessive Temptation

Chapter 8

*Jade's pnt. of view *

After Dean left through my window, and my father left for work, my mother and I talked, and I explained everything to her from the first time Dean and I kissed, to this morning.

At first she was quiet, then she got mad as she said " you used the defense tactics I taught you, and you didn't tell me sooner?"

Wait... what?

I was expecting something along the lines " I'm disappointed in your behavior with Dean..." but instead I got this?

"Well I never got a chance to tell you." I reasoned, then she smiled with pride as she said "I'm so proud of you! For the moves, not what you did with Dean. But I am disappointed for what you did with Dean, not the moves."

"Right, I'm sorry mom, I tried to stay away, I was defiant, but look at what happened because of my defiance. He got stabbed on the thigh because of me." I said then looked down.

My mom laughed as she said " you're not the only one to cause someone to get hurt. Let me tell you a story... when I first met your father, he just recently hired me, and he had this twisted idea in his mind that I belonged to him, I remembered our conversations like it was yesterday...

*Sarah's pnt. of view *

"I remember our conversations like it was yesterday." I said to Jade, reminiscing what happened between Damien and I because of my defiance, it's similar to what Jade is going through, so I decided to share one of my stories with her.

I remembered when Zach asked me out on a date, Damien had pissed me off asking me to move in with him, due to his hectic business plans, then he didn't let me get a say in it, just for him to dismiss me rudely, so one of his sluts, Anna could come in so they could do the nasty...

*Flashback *

I was so blinded by my enraged thoughts, that I didn't even notice the wall that I ran into.

Except it felt like a wall, but it was none other than Zach.

"Hey there, beautiful, how are you?" He asked.

I sighed then said "I'm alright, I'm just going to grab a quick lunch, and then it's back to work."

"Cool, I'll go with you."

We crossed the street to this small sub shop, and I ordered their version of a foot long, and a to go drink. We then headed back to the office.

Zach was about to tell me a joke, when the elevator door opened to reveal none other than Damien, standing in front of my desk, with his arms crossed, staring intently at us.

"Hey boss." Zach said, and Damien nodded slightly, as his gaze turned to me, and I quickly looked away.

The air became slightly tense as he stared at me, I stared at the walls, and Zach just stood there, until he cleared his throat, causing both Damien and I to look at him simultaneously.

"Uh, Sarah I was wondering, if um..." He scratched the back of his head in a very adorable manner and said " would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?" He said finally looking at me.

I smiled and said "sure, I would love to."

"Great, pick you up at 8:00." With that he walked away with a grin on his face.

I giggled, the turn around to come face to face with a pissed off Damien.

"May I help you?" I asked feeling my anger seeping back into my veins.

"You can't go on a date with him." He said. Come on man! Really?

"And why not? "

"Because I say so. Don't go with him, or else." He added. Oh! So he's trying to threaten me now?

"Or else what? You'll punish me? Ha! Puh-lease." I retorted.

He sighed, and shook his head saying "look, just don't go with him okay? He's bad news."

"I'll take my chances. Now please leave me to my work." I snapped.

He looked at me and then shook his head walking away...

It was exactly 8 p.m. when Zachary came to pick me up.

He handed me a red rose and escorted me to his car, and then we headed downtown, to a mystery place, because he wouldn't tell me what it was.

I was wearing a navy blue cocktail dress with beige high heels, while Zach was dressed in a long sleeve dress shirt, and navy blue slacks.

We arrived at the restaurant and Zach was quite the gentleman, and the entertainer.

He made me laugh, and he treated me with respect, unlike somebody I know.

Wait? Why am thinking about him?

Great, now I can hardly focus on this date.

It took all my willpower to engage myself in a conversation with Zach, without my mind being tainted by thoughts of Damien.

We had nice chats, and then he proposed that we leave and go somewhere less crowded.

We walked hand in hand in a nearby park, and had small talk when he suddenly stopped me.

He looked at me for a minute then said, "I don't want you to feel like we're rushing into things but I really wanna do this."

With that he dipped his head, and captured my lips in a sweet, and tender kiss, yet it was nothing compared to when Damien kissed me.

Wait why am I thinking of him while I'm being kissed by a cute guy like Zach. Ugh ignoring those thoughts. Again.

I started kissing him back, but then felt as if his kiss became more urgent, I tried to push him away when he locked his arms around my waist, holding me close and making sure I couldn't move away.

"Don't push me away babe." He said sounding slightly dangerous.

I tried once again, when his hold on me tightened, and a sudden pain spread across my lower back.

"Zach stop." I said trying to shrug him off, but that seem to piss him off, and he did the unthinkable.

He slapped me.

Oh hell no!

I started throwing punches at him, and one landed perfectly on his nose causing him to retract quickly, I tried taking it as a chance to run, but when he noticed blood, I'm guessing he saw red, because in the next second in was on my back on the floor and he was straddling me, and for once in many years, I felt alone, and feared that history could be repeating itself.

He pinned me to the floor as he started forcing kisses on me, and when I wasn't responding, his hands started travelling all over my body as he grabbed my breast, causing me to gasp, and fight harder, afraid of what could happen to me.

When I couldn't free myself I did the most logical thing, I screamed.

"Shut up!" He yelled as he was about to slap me again, and a tear escaped me.

I closed my eyes, when I heard the sound of material ripping, and I knew it was my dress, I held my eyes closed, as more tears escaped, making me betray the promise I made to myself, years ago, to never cry because of a man.

I can't believe after all these years, it was going to happen again, I was gonna get raped.

But then Zach's weight was lifted off of me, and I opened my eyes to find none other than Damien dressed in sweatpants and shirt, throwing punches at Zach.

I was stunned for a few minutes, until I noticed Zach starting to lose consciousness.

I know what he did was wrong, but I can't let Damien kill him.

"Damien! Wait! Wait! It's over, you can leave him now." I protested, but he gave me the deaf ear, as his punches became more violent.

"Damien! Stop please." I said grabbing his arm, he looked at me, and for the second time that night I felt fear, for his eyes were a few shades darker, and he looked as if he would blow at any moment.

He let go of Zach's collar, and stood up, walking towards me.

But with each step he took forward, I took one backwards.

We kept this process until my back was pressed tightly against a nearby tree trunk, and he came towards me raising his hand, and on instinct, I flinched.

He seemed to pause as something flashed through his eyes, and then cupped my face and said " I'm sorry. Are you okay ? Dammit Sarah Why didn't you listen to me? "

"I'm fine Damien, and I know, I'm sorry, I just I don't know." I said looking down. I knew the reason why, but thinking about it, I realized that it was petty.

"Come on." He said.

With that we exited the park, leaving a bloody Zachary on the ground, and we climbed into Damien's sports car, and he sped off.

I must've dosed off, because I woke up finding myself in Damien's arms, and a certain painting of a blue bird made me realize that I wasn't home, but instead at Damien's house.

He held me protectively in his arms, and I couldn't help but snuggle into his chest.

He climbed the stairs and brought me back to the same room I was in the first time I was here, and he laid me on the bed.

He then went to the bathroom, and I heard the sink water running so I guess he must be washing his hands, when he came out, he went to a room across from mines and came back with sweatpants and a large T-shit. He then handed them to me.

After I changed in the bathroom, I came out to find him waiting for me.

His eyes scanned me from head to toe, making me slightly self-conscious, I cleared my throat and said " thanks."

He went to exit the room with a quick " you're welcome, and good night" when I said " wait!"

He turned around and looked at me, and said " Are you okay?"

I looked down slightly embarrassed, and surprised about what I was about to ask " Stay with me." I said finally looking at him.

He looked taken aback and he said " I won't be far, I'll be right across from you. Don't worry."

"No please, just stay" I said, and he looked hesitantly.

I sigh, and headed towards him, taking his hand, pulling him to the bed.

He finally got in bed, and I turned off the light. At first we were quiet, I slowly approached him, and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer, and just like that I fell into a deep sleep.

*End of flashback *

"So there you have it." My mom concluded.

"Woah! I never knew that happened." I said giddy.

She chuckled and shook her head as a somber look fell upon her facial features, and her eyes took a far away look, as if remembering something tragic, then she smiled sadly and said "oh Jade baby, there is so much that you don't know." Then she shook her head, and she was back to her normal self.

" Oh my God!" I gasped.

"What?" My mom asked.

"He slept with me, well in my bed last night! Oh God I'm such a bad friend! Oh Daphne is gonna be so hurt. How could I have done such a thing! I'm losing my head mom! What kind of person am I?" I know the same happened between my dad and my mom, but my dad wasn't my mom's best friend's boyfriend. So her case is different from mine.

Oh damn... I'm screwed...
