Chapter 203 - Damien Park - Epitome of Virility

Thursday, August 30

At eight in the morning, a black Aston Martin stopped in front of Crown Resort Group's entrance. Damien stepped out from the driver's side, tossing his car keys to the attendant as he circled to the other side and opened Katherine's door. Normally, they would alight the car separately for appearance's sake but that morning, he was in such a good mood that he threw all concerns aside and did what he wanted all this time – take care of Katherine.

With a charming smile plastered on his face, he helped her out of the car. "You look beautiful," he whispered and she softly smiled. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the curious stares of the employees who were nervously waiting for them to enter the building. 

"What are you doing? Being sweet only warrants your employees the weird gazes. They're now definitely wondering what's going on between their boss and his secretary. Are you sure that's what you want this morning?" Katherine asked under her breath as they stood outside talking. She maintained an unreadable expression on her face — others would think the two of them were just discussing work stuff.

"Oh, I don't think that's what they're wondering. I'm pretty sure they're looking at you because of how you look this morning." Damien's hands were in his pockets, his back was facing his employees so they couldn't see the sly grin on his face.

"Why?! What's wrong with my look?" Katherine was alarmed, suddenly conscious about her appearance that she was about to touch her cheeks.

"Nothing, Kitten. You look… glowing." He winked at her just before he turned his back, knowing pretty damn sure that what he really thought was: She looked well-fucked.

And he was absolutely proud he made her that way.

Katherine's eyes briefly widened but she quickly composed herself and she bit her tongue to stop herself from blushing. Clearing her throat, she muttered under her breath so that only he can hear, "Cocky Devil." Despite not hearing what Damien had in his mind, she figured it out anyway.

The two of them suppressed the urge to smile because of what the other just said before facing the waiting employees. 

"Walk next to me," he whispered to her before taking a step forward. "Keep up, Ms. Miller. Walk with me," he said loudly for his employees to hear.

Katherine usually walked a step or two behind him but this morning, he wanted her to be right next to him as he enters his kingdom.

With their heads held high, they walked towards the elevator, passing by the company employees bowing to greet their Big Boss. Katherine always thought the way they welcome him whenever he arrives in the morning was a little extra but knowing how Damien earned the respect, she was also proud of him… now she's even walking next to him.

As soon as they got inside the elevator and the doors closed, Katherine slid her hand to his and linked their fingers together. He turned to face her and flashed his most handsome smile to date, meeting her halfway when she leaned up to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "I don't think I have told you yet, but you look gorgeous today," she remarked.

Damien chuckled and faced forward again. "Thanks. I suppose we're both satiated then."

After last night's first try of not using a condom, a second one happened… then a third… and then… they stopped counting.

Katherine snorted, "Oh, please. You? You're insatiable. If I hadn't stopped you at that last one, who knows if you and I could get up on time this morning."

Damien glid his hand on the small of her back, guiding her out of the elevator with a huge grin on his face. "Oh, I can get up just fine. The meeting is at nine, right?"

"Yes, why?" 

They entered his office and she heard the sound of a click from the door, indicating that Damien locked it.

"What—"

When she turned to face him, he was already shrugging off his coat and tossing it at the back of the sofa. "Good, we still have time," he said with a smirk on his face as he stalked towards her.

"What do you mean?" Katherine swallowed, though she was already sure what he meant, what with all his thirsty look piercing right through her, making her feel hot and just as thirsty.

"To prove to you what else I can get up… in no time," he said before closing in on her, his mouth smashing into hers before she could even process that she was responding to his kisses.

Slightly pulling back, she stopped him, "Wait. Really? Now?" She knew better than to ask Damien Park. Of course now. He only raised a brow at her and she sighed. 

"Fine, but I don't like it here. My back hurt the last time." She grabbed his tie and pulled him with her towards the corner of his office where his penthouse door was located.

Entering the passcode to the device, the door opened and they entered the place. "Liar. You loved it," he said.

"Maybe. But I won't let you ruin this dress. I happen to love this—hey!!!" She squealed when all of a sudden, Damien picked her up by her waist and hoisted her on his shoulder and she was dangling upside down, her face parallel with his sexy butt.

"You walk too slow. I need you naked stat—" He sprinted upstairs towards his bedroom with Katherine over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"You've got to stop carrying me like this! What are you, a caveman?!" She yelled from behind him but all she got was his utterly sexy laugh just before she was tossed to the bed… like a caveman would do. Damn it. Damien Park is the epitome of virility. That was hot. 

After all their clothes were off, the next 40 minutes was spent on Damien proving what he said he could do — though they know proving wasn't necessary. At all.

…

Lunchtime

Katherine and Damien's supposed lunch date was invaded by his two friends Caleb and Jeffrey. The engaged couple was on their way out when the two men saw them leaving and unabashedly invited themselves to their date.

Actually, Jeffrey just wanted to make sure Katherine was doing what she promised to do – planning and organizing the summer party. 

"Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Heavenly Virtues," she said before putting food in her mouth. It was the party theme that she chose for their last "Summer Party". The men only stared at her as though they were waiting for her to explain.

She took her time chewing her food and received a glass of water that Damien passed to her to wash it down her throat.

"There are seven mini-themes: Lust, Wrath, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth, and Gluttony. I'm sure your…'friends' will enjoy indulging in their innermost desires," she said before rolling her eyes. "Of course, we need to keep everything… tamed. As much as we can. However, since this will be in everyone's mouths and search engines for days maybe even weeks, we can't let the rest of the world think that you are all just a bunch of sinners."

The three men simultaneously cleared their throats and sat up straight as though they were trying to impress the school principal. 

A small smile formed on her lips as she continued, "Which is why I combined the Seven Heavenly Virtues: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility. All these mini-themes will have their corresponding movement, for example, donating a hefty amount for charity...et cetera. You get the gist." Katherine shuffled in her bag and showed them her organizer.

"My… I'm surprised, Katherine. Who knew you'd be so great at this. Any chance you'd reconsider your resignation? If you want to escape Damien, you can be my secretary instead." Caleb grinned.

"Not if she chooses me first. I've been wanting to fire that assistant of mine…" Jeffrey stated.

Katherine hasn't even left the company yet, but Damien's friends already wanted to take her away from him.

"She's mine," Damien sternly said and the group laughed. He narrowed his eyes at them and drank his chardonnay as he placed his arm at the back of her chair protectively.
