Femme Fatale: The King's Deadly Temptress Chapter 118 - Goodnight, Love.

In the dining area of Damien's penthouse, he and Katherine were having a very late dinner at the table. The two of them quietly ate the meal that he had prepared earlier for her before she fell asleep. 

Katherine was trying so hard not to look at him as he was obviously playing with her and she was starting to get annoyed. 

For whatever reason, Damien decided to go s.h.i.+rtless and wore only his Tommy Hilfiger black lounge pants, showcasing his firm chest, hard buns and s.e.x lines all for Katherine to see... but not touch.

Stupid punishment.

While she was quietly sulking in her head, Damien had a suppressed satisfied smile on his face that she wanted so badly to harshly wipe off with her hands... but then again, no touching.

Katherine sighed. It seemed that Damien had gotten bolder and bolder by the day. His shamelessness was probably already a world record. He was a master of this art and she could only silently wish to be taken under his wing - literally and figuratively.

Her hormones had clearly gone haywire — all because of this fine piece of a male specimen whose name was Damien, crowned as the Resort King. Only Katherine believed he was not only that. He really was the King of h.e.l.l, what with all the dirty tricks that he had up his sleeves. She wanted to roll her eyes but stopped herself because that might just make him feel more satisfied than he already was because he was winning.

"I don't remember saying, no looking. You can still look at me, you know?" Damien started.

"I'd rather not," she replied and chewed on her food.

He chuckled, evidently having fun like he always does whenever he was teasing her. He wiped his mouth with a table napkin and leaned back on the chair. "Alright… but that doesn't mean I can't look at you right? After all, you only said no touching…" 

Katherine could already feel the intense gaze that was burning through her head. She moved her shoulders when she suddenly felt conscious about his stare. Sighing, she quickly finished her food and got up from her seat.

"I'll wash the dishes." She was already on her way to the sink, bringing some dirty dishes with her.

"I'll help you," he said while still sitting at the table, watching her as she was in a hurry to get away from him. 

"It's okay, I can do it." 

Damien got up and brought his plate with him as he leisurely strolled towards the sink. When he arrived at her side, he unnecessarily stayed too close to her while placing the dirty plate into the sink — the front of his torso slightly brus.h.i.+ng against her shoulder.

"Are you sure?" he asked, his lips were right above her temple that she could feel his hot breath on her skin.

Breathing in, Katherine shot him a glare.

"What?" he asked with an innocent tone.

"You're standing too close."

"But I'm not touching…" he responded and without warning, he placed the softest kiss on the skin behind her ear just before he walked away. "...just a kiss, no biggie." His little tease made her involuntarily squeeze the sponge in her hand.

Her head snapped to the side and saw him leaning on the kitchen island counter with his hands on his hips, looking like a delicious dessert - like a dessert that was inside a gla.s.s case and had a sign that said: For your eyes only.

"You are such a mean, mean person. Do you know that?" she scoffed.

"So I've been told."

"And you're proud of it?"

He had a knowing smile on his face and it only annoyed her more. But there was nothing that she could do, she was annoyed yet she liked him at the same time.

Damien shrugged. His phone rang and he fished it out of his pocket to see that it was Markus. "I'll take this at the office. I won't take long," he told her just before he headed towards the door.

There weren't a lot of dishes to wash so Katherine finished it very fast.  She then went up to his bedroom, watched dog videos and some random memes on her phone while waiting for him to come up until she fell asleep.

It was a little over an hour later when Damien opened the door to the bedroom. "Sorry, took longer-" 

He only realized that she had fallen asleep when he noticed her lazily open her eyes at the sound of his voice.

"My bad… I woke you up," he said as he sat on the bed. 

Katherine shook her head and responded, "I just rested my eyes a little." 

Damien laid on his side to face her. There was a gentle smile on his face as he said, "Listen… Why don't we go on a weekend trip a few weeks from now?"

"Hmm? Why? I mean… What's the occasion?"

It will be their second month together in a few weeks and Damien figured that they should do something special. "I just want to take you out to relax with me. It's been a while since my last holiday and I want to spend it with you," he said.

"Where do you want to go?" 

"I have something in mind. I'll bring you somewhere nice." 

"What about work?" 

"Don't worry about it, I'll arrange it. All you need to do is come with me." 

Katherine's eyes were a little droopy when she nodded. "Okay…" she agreed just before her eyes closed.

Seeing that she was already sleepy, Damien softly chuckled. He removed the pillow that she was hugging and placed it behind her. 

Brus.h.i.+ng her hair away from her face, he leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, love," he whispered.

As soon as he did, Katherine breathed in and wrapped her arm around his torso, hugging him close to her as she inhaled his scent. She snuggled as close as she could, nuzzled on his bare chest and mumbled in her sleep, "Goodnight, love." 

Damien froze because of the sudden contact and her unexpected use of endearment. It was the first time that he heard her say that. 

A huge smile cast on his face as Katherine just unknowingly crossed the line of their 'punishment' and he even got a treat by hearing that word from her. 

Feeling comfortable and satisfied, Damien turned off the light from the nightstand and pulled her even closer. He was sure to finally get a good night's sleep.
