I'm nobody’s toy, a notch on the bedpost, or a trophy, and I'm done being treated like one. Lara: So what if I have to hide behind a failing relationship? It makes resisting the temptation easier when Damian asks me out in that deep voice that has my knees melting. He’s a typical billionaire playboy who can’t take no for an answer. Why else would I be in his office getting hired to organize a Christmas party for his hotel in New York? Why else would he want to micromanage it? He just wants to get in my pants, and I’m not interested. Damian: Did Lara’s boyfriend seriously make a bet on how long Lara would keep him around and then called her the Ice Queen? There was no way I was going to let that loser get in my way. Besides, Lara deserved better. She deserved me. I just have to hire her to buy myself some time with her, until I can figure out how to make her mine.
