Chapter 111 Damian\u2019s Dangerous Game\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
He captured Scarlett\u2019s hand and pressed it firmly against his chest, deliberately guiding her fingers to trace the defined contours of his pectoral muscles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t about demonstrating emotional pain-he was unmistakably making her appreciate his physical conditioning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment her fingertips encountered those hardened ridges, Scarlett instinctively attempted to withdraw her hand. But Damian tightened his grip like an unyielding vise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing escape was impossible, Scarlett simply lifted her chin and met his gaze directly. Her voice carried sharp-edged clarity. \u201cReally? To how many women have you delivered these exact lines?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s brow furrowed momentarily before he responded, \u201cDarling, I\u2019ll be honest with you. I\u2019ve probably said similar things to about twenty women.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett made another attempt to reclaim her hand, but his hold only intensified, effectively immobilizing her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Scarlett spotted Nathan emerging from Theron Manor\u2019s main entrance. He stood surveying the surroundings, clearly awaiting her return.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anxiety surged through Scarlett, her tone turning pleading. \u201cDamian, my brother is waiting for me at the door. If he doesn\u2019t see me soon, he\u2019ll become frantic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian merely repositioned her hand against his chest, his gaze unwavering. \u201cWhat about me? If I don\u2019t see you, I\u2019ll perish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett internally rolled her eyes. Was he being serious? A man of Damian\u2019s success probably aspired to live another century, not expire over her absence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her skepticism, Damian suddenly proposed, \u201cScarlett, perhaps I should go greet your brother first?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s anxiety escalated into sharp irritation. \u201cWhat exactly do you want from me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian lifted a finger to twirl a strand of her hair, his grin widening. \u201cHave I ever mentioned that I want to marry you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett closed her eyes briefly before questioning, \u201cAnd how many women have you said that\u00a0<\/p>\n
to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian considered this seriously. \u201cIf I had to estimate, perhaps fifty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scarlett stared at him intently. \u201cSo? What value do you believe your words carry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
87\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian met her gaze with complete seriousness. \u201cBut among all those women, you\u2019re the only one I genuinely mean it with.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett pushed against him. \u201cEven if you sound utterly sincere, I\u2019m not buying your nonsense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their proximity made every word exchange an intimate sharing of breath, intensifying Scarlett\u2019s discomfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian showed no offense. He simply maintained her hand\u2019s position against his chest with minimal pressure. Regardless of how she struggled, the distance between them remained unchanged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she finally exhausted her efforts, Damian captured her slender wrist, his thumb gently caressing her skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abruptly, Damian stilled. His gaze dropped to Scarlett\u2019s bare arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He frowned and inquired, \u201cWhere is your bracelet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett blinked, suddenly remembering. \u201cYou\u2019re right. Wait here in the car-I\u2019ll go remove it and return it to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s frown deepened. \u201cReturn it? Why? Don\u2019t you like it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett shook her head. \u201cNo, it\u2019s just\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could complete her explanation, Damian interrupted, \u201cI suppose it wasn\u2019t expensive enough. There\u2019s an auction tomorrow. I\u2019ll acquire something even more valuable for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett panicked. \u201cDamian, don\u2019t-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t even finished saying \u201cdon\u2019t do this\u201d before Damian\u2019s expression turned icy. \u201cIf you refuse to wear the bracelet, I\u2019ll simply continue sending you increasingly expensive jewelry daily until you finally wear something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his stubborn determination, Scarlett deliberately attempted to provoke him. \u201cIt\u2019s not my money being wasted, so I don\u2019t care. Regardless how much you spend, I said I won\u2019t wear any of it, and I won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian merely laughed. \u201cAs long as you\u2019re unconcerned. I earn money specifically to spend it on you. If you don\u2019t spend it, what purpose does it serve? I\u2019d gladly give you every cent I possess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He concluded by stroking Scarlett\u2019s cheek tenderly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Startled, Scarlett slapped his hand away in panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian winced and withdrew his hand. Rather than blowing on it to soothe the sting, he ran his tongue across the back of his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While doing so, he looked up at Scarlett, his eyes twinkling mischievously. \u201cDarling, be gentler next time. I may be resilient and don\u2019t mind you teaching me lessons, but I\u2019d prefer you strike me when we\u2019re, well, in bed. That would be considerably more exciting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He laughed openly, making no attempt to conceal the mischief in his expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett glared at him, furious. \u201cYou pervert.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t conjure any more severe insults, and truthfully, nothing she might say would likely affect Damian regardless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But even being called a pervert didn\u2019t bother him in the slightest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
