Chapter ten: Difficult situation

I lay naked in Damion's arms while he ran his hand along my spine. His emotions told me he was quite satisfied. I wanted to ask him so many questions, but I didn't want to ruin the loving atmosphere we had around us. We stayed silent in our embrace enjoying each others company.

"I've missed this," Damion said, interrupting the silence.

"Same here, Damion, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course, I guessed you would ask questions." He spoke in a relaxed whisper. I thought about my question a final time before asking.

"Why did you blood me?" Damion was shocked about this question.

"Do you want to hear the whole story?"

"Yes," I replied.

"Okay. When I first scented you, there was something about you that drove me insane. I watched you throughout the day, finding out more about you every time. You were extremely interesting. Every time I saw you I couldn't stop smiling, I was happy when you were in my sight. Before long you were the only thing I thought about, day and night. The night I blooded you, was a night I planned for weeks." I smiled at Damion's explanation, happy that he loved me from the start.

"Did you stay with me?"

"Yes, I carried you to a safe place where no one would disturb the process. When you awoke you looked straight at me with your dazzling eyes, I knew then I would love you forever."

"I bet you were distraught when I left," I said guilty.

"Yes, when you left, you took a half of me with you," Damion looked into my eyes and smiled, "But now I've found you, I feel whole again." Damion leant closer to me and kissed my forehead. "The worst thing was that I didn't have any extra gift to help me find you, that's why it took so long."

"Did Leo help you?"

"Yes, he stuck beside me like a brother should; he already knows how grateful I am. He often would go back to home to spend time with his love, but he after a few days he was back, helping me as much as he could."

"Leo has a love?"

"Yes, I've never seen her, but he speaks of her frequently."

"What's her name?"

"Danielle, every time he says her name he smiles, it just makes me happy to see that he has settled with someone who he loves dearly.

"I know what that's like, Edward has fallen in love too and likewise it makes me thrilled."

"Hopefully our siblings feel the same way about us." We both snickered. I heard Edward return and jumped up ready to greet him, I'd forgotten until Damion eyed my body I was still naked.

"Now that's a sight I hope I'll be able to see for eternity." Damion gave me a crooked smile. I smiled back before getting dressed.

I walked downstairs to greet Edward while Damion was getting changed. I was shocked to see Bella standing beside him.

"Edward, you shouldn't have brought Bella here, it's too dangerous with Damion." Edward suddenly realised the risk he had placed Bella in and suddenly panicked.

"Bella, come on let's get you home quickly." Bella didn't hesitate and was already waiting to get out of danger. Edward and I glanced at each other in worry as Damion placed his arms around me. I felt his raise his head towards Bella and suddenly freeze. I could sense the hunger and desire in his head.

"Damion, this is Bella, Edward's girlfriend." Damion suddenly tightened his jaw as his emotions turned to worry.

"But… She's… Human." Damion fought his hunger to get the words out.

"Yes, I know." I heard a low thirsty growl in Damion's throat.

"Christina, I don't know if I can resist," Damion admitted, I felt his arms tighten around my waist as he tried to fight the hunger. He was taking deep breaths and he didn't take his eyes of Bella. Edward tensed, but he didn't move Bella, there was curiosity in his emotion. I turned in Damion's tight grip to face him.

"Damion, look at me." Damion moved his head so fast he startled me. He placed his lips beside my throat, inhaling my scent.

"Christina, it's so hard."

"I know." I didn't see what Edward was doing, but his curiosity grew stronger. Edward, get Bella out of here, I don't know if he can hold on much longer. I turned my head towards Edward who was pulling Bella out of the house. When I heard the door close I tuned back to Damion who was still resting his head on my shoulder. He released his grip and lifted his head at me, his breath was still jagged.

"That was hard, please don't put her in that risk again, I don't want be held responsible if I can't resist at all next time." I smiled at his weak expression and placed my hand on his cheekbone.

"You did really well, I'm proud of you." Damion smiled pleased of what he had done. "Do you need to feed now?" Damion nodded slowly.

"If you want me to, I'll feed on animal blood." I smiled at his offer but I shook my head.

"You're too used to human blood now; just don't feed around this area." Damion kissed my head.

"No, I think after what just happened I can deal with measly animal blood." I smiled at his enthusiasm and nodded.

"Okay, you go hunt, I'll wait here until Edward comes back. There's something I need to discuss with him." Damion was confused, but he kissed my forehead and left to feed his hunger.
