*How long have you been up?" I I questioned and was about to reach out to him when he slapped my hand away.

60% "Ouch, why did you do that?" I questioned with wide eyes, confused by his reaction.

"Because you left me" He murmured and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Neft you? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"In my dream, you leftfor another man" He growled and I snorted then rolled my eyes.

"It was just a dream, why are you so serious about it? I have to go pee" I murmured and was about to climb out of the bed when he pulledto him.

"You can't leave me, I won't allow it. You are not allowed to leaveHe uttered and I frowned.

"Why are you getting so worked up? It was just a dream, it wasn't real" I pointed out.

"It felt real to me, Clara. Everything felt real and I won't allow it. No matter what, you're mine" He murmured and when I saw how serious he was and how all the usual playfulness in his eyes had disappeared, I knew this was no joking matter. This dream really shook him.

is face with both hands and stared into his eyes.

I grabbed onto hist "It was just a dream, I'm still here aren't I? I'm not going anywhere, okay?" I murmured softly And he pursed his lips.

"I tried calling you but you ignoredbecause of him. I couldn't...".

"It wasn't real Damon. You're the only man I love and the only man I'd like to be with, okay? I love you and I don't plan on leaving you" | murmured then wrapped my arms around his shoulder and he huggedso tight that I almost stopped breathing for a while.

"I don't want to make you angry or sad anymore. I want to be the reason for your smile, I want to be the reason for your happiness" He uttered and I kissed the side of his head.

"You have done a good job so far, okay? I love you" I murmured.

"I love you" We much.

We stayed in each other's arms for a while and I couldn't help but wonder what I had done in his dream that bothered him this After that, we went to have a bath so we could start our day but ended up spending up to two hours in there because Damon couldn't keep his hands to himself.

He poured all his emotions into f **gthat after we were done, I could barely feel in between my legs. I wasn't complaining though. That whole day, Damon was clingier than usual. He wanted to be by my side all the time, so much so that I had to follow Luca and him to his company He madesit next to him while he was having his meeting with his board of directors and from tto time, he stopped listening just focused all his attention onand kept asking if I was okay or if I was hungry.

1/3 e and It was so awkward, especially with the surprise looks and eyes on us. I didn't know if they were surprised because he was acting like they 12:08 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 96 all aren't there or the fact that he was acting like a love sick puppy which wasn't very on brand with his reputation but Damon didn't seem to care.

He adjourned the meeting quickly then tookto his big office which was the entire top floor.

As soon as we got inside his office, I turned to glare at him with my hand on d on my waist.

"What's going on with you?" I questioned and he blinked his eyes innocently at me.

"What are you talking about?" He questioned.

"You have been extra clingy totoday. What's that about?" I questioned and he feigned ignorance.

"I don't know what you're talking about” He uttered and I groaned before turning to Luca who was standing behind Damon.

"Can you please explain to him how he has been acting all day?” I asked Luca and he sighed.

"Not to be rude but you have been acting like an obsessive puppy, even more obsessive than usual” Luca pointed out.

"Don't f**g speak, this is betweenand my wife" He growled and Luca held up his hand in surrender while I gasped at Damon.

"Why are you being mean to him? I asked him a question. You're unbelievable" I murmured and was about to walk past him but Damon just grabbed onto my waist and pulledcloser.

"You're mad at me. Is it bad to be so in love with my wife? I'm obsessed with you, Clara and it grows more and more each day. If I had my way, I'd have you attached to me" He revealed and I sighed before turning around in his arms.

"Are you acting this way because of the dream you had? Why does it bother you so much? What exactly did you see?" I questioned.

"Because it felt real," He argued.

"But it isn't, I'm right here, aren't I?" I questioned and he sighed.

"Clara...

"Why are you so bothered? Who did you seewith?" I urged.

"Let's just drop it, I don't want to talk about it" He murmured.

"Damon..." "Clara drop it!" He yelled and his eyes immediately softened when he realized he had yelled at me. "Damn" I heard Luca mutter but my eyes were on Damon.

"Clara, L...

"I want to go home, now" i interjected and he stared atfor a while then sighed before hodding.

He had to finish up swork before we Finally On the car ride home, I didn't say quiet.

He squeezed my thighs and even a word, Luca and Damon chatted away and Damon tried includingin the conversation but I stayed went as far as sticking his hand inside my pants and cupping my sex in his hand and even though I was 2/3 12:08 Tue, 2 Jul M Chapter 96 already soaking wet, I gave him no reaction.

I was angry at him but my body wasn't.

☐☐:60% "Stop the car, everyone out" Damon ordered as he pulled his hand out of my pants. I was about to climb out when he grabbed my hand.

"Not you" So I sat back in the car with him.

"Clara I'm sorry for yelling at you, I didn't mean it" He apologized but I still didn't turn to him he placed his hand gently on the side of my face and turned my head to him and immediately I saw his face, I instantly felt guilty.

It was obvious whatever dream he had was bothering him seriously but how could reassure him if I didn't know why it was bothering him so much. "Tellwhy it bothers you so much" I murmured softly and he sighed.

"Promiseyou won't get mad” He uttered and I frowned. Why would I be mad?
