Chapter 30: Stay
Beatrix lay in bed that evening, listening to the sound of the music popping on her phone through her airpods.
She couldn’t fall asleep. She was tired but all that she saw when she closed her eyes were Damien’s glittering amber ones.
Her eyes stared at the words in the book on her lap but her mind was running a thousand miles.
Damien’s room was just opposite hers and she wondered what he was doing at the moment. Was he asleep or couldn’t sleep like her?
He was a stoic man, that was for certain and they barely knew each other but the way those amber eyes of his sparkled with adoration, flared with wild lust and softened with tenderness-all for her was confusing.
Beatrix didn’t know if it was just her imagination or it was exactly like that.
She knew nothing about her betrothed yet she was fascinated by him.
Fascinated by the man whose name alone causes fear and havoc. So far he seemed nice but was he really?
Beatrix didn’t know what the future held for her but was she really going to marry a man as dangerous as Damien Niarchos?
