Maya's POV
Sunday passed in solitude with Damon on call, giving me the perfect opportunity to reorganize my academic priorities. My study schedule had completely transformed since joining Adrian's team. Previously, when working at the mall, my mornings were dedicated to coursework. Now, with evening shifts, I found myself dragging through college lectures already drained of energy. But such is life's rhythm when pursuing dreams.
By day's end, I'd accomplished more than expected. The dining table was perfectly arranged when Damon finally arrived looking utterly worn out. Without hesitation, he crossed the room and swept me into his arms, lifting me off the ground. His passionate kiss pressed me against the wall, stealing my breath and igniting my desire.
Instinctively, my legs wrapped around his waist, arms encircling his neck. His intoxicating scent alone was enough to awaken every nerve ending in my body.
