Damien's Captive: You Were Always Mine

You just needed a fresh start — a new job, a new city, a new version of yourself with no bruises on it. The hotel was supposed to be safe. He was supposed to be a stranger. But the moment Damien Voss looks down from that mezzanine and finds your face in the crowd, something ancient and locked clicks open behind his eyes — and the temperature of the entire lobby drops two degrees. You have seen him somewhere. You are sure of it. The line of his shoulders, the stillness of him — it pulls at something buried so deep you cannot reach it. He is the most beautiful and most dangerous thing you have ever almost remembered. He sends a key card to your locker before your first shift ends. No note. Just a floor number. The penthouse. You tell yourself you will not go. You tell yourself that three times. Then the elevator doors open and he is already there, waiting, like he knew exactly which lie you would tell yourself and exactly when you would stop believing it.
