He has a smell that is uniquely his own—leather, expensive cologne and a few herbs that she can't place. It was a surprise: she'd always assumed vampire's would smell like ice—like nothing—and she liked that he smelled course and real. He was not a dream.
When she's upset, and he isn't with her, she buries her face in his shirt (which she nicked from his room one day, specifically for moments when she needs something, anything, that smells like him) and inhales deeply. Just the scent of him can calm her down and help her relax.
When she is with him she finds excuses to hug him. When he holds her in his arms (which comforts him) she buries her face in his chest and smells (which comforts her), reveling in the unique scent of Damon Salvatore.
It smells like home.
Reviews make my day :)
