Minutes passed, probably hours. Bella slowly started to calm down. The fear inside her chest started to dull. Damon held her close, keeping her in his arms, not doing anything, not saying anything, he just held her close.
Once Bella was sure that she was not going to freak out and run, she started to straighten and get off his lap. His arms tightened, refusing to let her get away.
"Damon." Bella murmured softly, "I am okay."
His eyes dropped low to come upon her. The monster inside him had retracted, now only Damon's human part was there and honestly, she was kind of relieved, she did not think she would ever have been able to face his wolf right now.
"You ran, I am going to kill you." Damon said with utmost sincerity.
Bella woke up to find herself tangled in the sheet, alone. She was in the clothes that she had slept in the previous night. Disappointment filled her instantly even when she did not want to. Damon's scent was all around her, in the sheet and in the room as well. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she slipped out of the bed. Awkwardly she peeked in towards the bathroom, but it was unlocked and open, which meant Damon had already left the room.She went inside and washed her face. She did not have a toothbrush so she had to just rinse her mouth with water to get rid of the nasty morning breath. She walked out of the room, still in her shorts and the crop top. At home, she did not feel weird in those clothes. But at an unknown place like this, she could not help but feel self-conscious.The whole house was silent. The house was big b
Damon brought Bella to a different room than last night. It was just a three doors away from Damon's, but she was thankful for the distance. She was surely not prepared to be in the near distance with him. He already affected her too much.This one had the cream shade on walls and interior, giving it the softest vibe possible. Her eyes scanned the room and came to rest upon the open closet. There were clothes hanging in there."You brought new clothes for me?" Bella whispered, staring agape at the line of the dresses and jeans hanging inside the big closet."Don't be stupid," Damon gritted nonchalantly, turning away from her and looking around the room, "You are nothing special to me. Why would I buy new clothes for you. These are some used ones from the pack members donations but stil
"Let go of my hands." Bella gritted, suddenly getting angry more than she wanted to be. His closeness was affecting her badly. She was already trying to stay away from him to create distance between them both, but he kept on bringing her closer, touching her at any chance that he could get like it did not affect him at all.Damon was glaring at her angrily. The thought of her trying to run away from him even after all that happened the previous day was infuriating him even more. How much did he need to make her understand event the smallest of things?"Where were you trying to run away to?" Damon snapped, leaving her wrist and pushing her away from his arms.Bella stumbled on her feet but managed to stay standing in front of him. Her wrist had turned red because of his tight hold
The moment those words left Damon's mouth, Bella felt her heart stop for a second in pain. She wanted him to feel bothered, or at least pretend to be bothered. But there was not even a drop of sweat shining on Damon's forehead at the thought of her kissing or seducing someone else. And if that is how he felt, hell she will even fuck someone in front of his eyes if that is what made him show what he actually felt. She put on a fake smile on her face and murmured, "Bet, then." ***** Clenching his fist against the throat of the man begging on his knees in front of his eyes, Damon tried to control the anger running through him. The man had committed the crime of stealing from him, but he did not deserve to die. He knew he was be
After dressing up Damon walked out of the room towards the kitchen. He was starving. The dining table was already set and most of the seats had been filled. He greeted everyone before going to sit at the head chair. He saw Bella walking down the stairs in jeans and a skin tight t shirt highlighting every curve of her body sensually even though her face was devoid of any makeup. Her half wet hair were falling over her shoulder in waves, while her eyes came to meet his. He had to clutch the edge of the hardwood table in a death grip from snapping the control he was desperately trying to keep the grasp of. Breathing harshly his eyes dropped to her lips that he had imagine being wrapped around his cock less than an hour ago and his heart started racing faster. She looked away from him to find an empty seat to sit down. There w
As Bella walked down the stairs, her body was in literal shivers feeling Damon's gaze on herself. It was like she had some kind of sensor inside her body, making her feel the caress of his gaze on her whole body and knowing what his every gesture meant.She knew that in his mind everything was about her right now. About his urges that he tried to hide behind those rude curtain of his eyes, showing everyone how unaffected he was while in reality, she could never believe that their mate bond was this weak.But she did not want to appear weak in front of him, no matter how hard her body resisted. She was already too weak physically, not having any wolf inside of her. She was not going to let her feelings betray her as well. She needed him as far away from herself as possible.Ignoring the
Bella blinked in shock for a couple of seconds before straightening her posture and realizing that Damon was indeed there, standing in front of her.At first, she was a bit scared but then she narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Are you following me?"Damon already looked pretty agitated. As soon as she asked the question, he spat, "What am I your dog? Following you around? In your fucking dreams!""Bastard." Bella turned her face away and muttered through suppressed breaths while trying to tame down the anger."What did you just call me?" Damon snapped.Bella turned her face back to meet his gaze but did not answer. Fucking werewolf hearing!
Damon's heart burnt at the sight, his fingers twitching and clenching in a tight fist, almost shivering in need to slam into something.His face was contracted in rage as he saw Bella's hands sliding on Neil's shoulder and her lips covering his. What he wanted to do was kill Neil. Right then and there. Snatch every breath of life out of him and shred his body to pieces. He could feel his wolf rising to the surface violently.Unable to watch the scene in front of his eyes, Damon turned away immediately and walked out of there without looking back. His whole body was on fire, in pure rage. As soon as he was out of Neil's house his wolf took over his human form and the next thing he knew, he was running through the dark woods for hours.*****
