Opening my eyes, I blink slowly and feel a bitter taste in my mouth. Licking around my mouth, I realize it's the taste of blood and it makes me look around. I'm in my bed and I hear someone in my bathroom. The door opens and fog leave the bathroom and a tall figure stands in the doorway.
Damon is revealed and it makes me remember what happened last night. He attacked me and I saved him, he fed me his blood and I soon fell asleep. A towel is wrapped low around his body and I try not to check him out and decide he needs clothes.
"Glad to see your finally awake, sorry I took too much out of ya" He speaks up and walks towards me as I tried walking to the door. He smells really good like that nice subtle clean soap.
I look up at him and shrug. "Don't worry about it, I should probably get you some clothes so i'll be back"
"How are you gonna do that?" He asks not budging. My dumb self puts a hand on his chest and can feel the muscle and wetness from the water.
Pulling away, I notice him smirk down at me and try to ignore it.
"I'll look for some old clothes my dad doesn't wear anymore. He won't miss them" With that I lightly push him out of the way and leave my room.
Heading up the hall to my dads room, I look for the box with the clothes he said he was gonna donate, and open it. Looking for the best thing that screams Damon, I find a pair of black joggers and a white t shirt. Everything else was brighter colors so it was the best i could do. I get a pair of socks and boxers before I grab some deodorant for him. Hoping this'll be all he needs, I start heading back to my room.
Throwing the things to Damon, I point to my bathroom letting him know to change in there. "That's all I could find that wasn't too bright, hope you can fit them" My dad was more muscular and tall so they might look a bit baggy on him.
Smirking Damon eyes the black joggers. "I'm sure if this doesn't i'll tie it tight, thanks Amatheia" He heads into the bathroom and cracks the door. This makes me decide I should put my glasses on since i'm in the house and will probably stay here for a couple hours. I slip the thin wire frames on and walk to my bed.
Plopping on my bed, I check my phone to see if I got any messages. "So are you gonna let Stefan know your okay and fed?"
I hear him make a sound of disagreement. "Stefan has my ring that lets me out in the sun, I think i'll let him think i'm deciding on my next meal and won't even give away where I am"
"So your staying here?"
He pops his head out dressed. "Is that a problem?" He notices my glasses on my face but doesn't say anything already seeing them on me yesterday night.
With a small shake of my head, I feel my hair and scrunch my face up feeling that it's probably dirty from laying on that floor in the basement. "Not at all. Your brother did text me asking me if you contacted me though"
Damon reveals himself in my dad's clothes and I have to say he's adorable in them. The white tee is big and makes his lean frame poke out, the joggers are nice and baggy on him and tight around his waist but they hang low. Looking at his hair, it's styled messy and makes him look so comfy and human.
"Don't answer him, infact-" He takes my phone and slips it in his pocket. I glare at him and reach for it but he puts a large hand around my neck and straddles me. "It'll be funny as Saint Stefan worries about the safety of his close friend"
I don't fight against him like most people would've because he isn't putting pressure on my neck. Infact, he just has his hand around it trying to make sure I agree with his plan and don't fight him. The fact that he's being a total dominant alpha male is sexy but I can't let him know I like it.
"Give me my phone back, Damon. I have other people to text you know!" I punch his chest, which makes him grab that wrist and raise it above my head. My other arm lays limp at my side as I stare into his eyes.
"They can wait too. You know Stefan will ask them and if they haven't heard from you, he may give me my ring back" He seems like he knows how much of a caring an predictable person was.
"What if they come here? They're human so they can find you here" I tell him arching a thick brow.
Damon tilts his head and his thumb starts stroking my neck in the spot he bit me at. "I'm sure you can push them away. Does my brother have an invite to to home?"
My head shakes. "We've only hungout around town and his house" Kinda crazy how Damon's the only vampire I invited in but then again i'm not surprised.
He seemed to like my answer because he then just stares at me and licks his lips. "You know, if i'm gonna be staying here for a couple days...I may need a warm body to satisfy my hunger and manly needs" His voice drops slightly and it makes me widen my eyes.
My mouth opens into a 'O' as I realize what he means and it makes me blush. Jesus he was warm and his hot face was infront of my face. What was worse was that his hand was around my neck and I was kinky like that.
"I'm sure I can give you my wrist, but your not getting the latter from me, Damon" This makes him wink at me.
"You better be sure that I won't because feeding can be a kink for some people and based off yesterday-" His face lowers to my neck and I feel his tongue dart out to lick my skin. "I think it's one of yours"
Now that he's distracted, I switch our positions and his hand is still wrapped around my neck somehow. I put my hands on his chest and my feels loose strands fan my face.
"I've been told I have a lot of self control" Getting up off of him, after unwrapping his hand from my neck, I head to the bathroom and close the door behind me. Looking into the mirror I realize I am screwed sharing my house with Damon now.
My hip bumps Damon's as I pour the waffle batter into the Mickey Mouse waffle maker. He rolls his eyes playfully but continues to flip the bacon. It's brunch time and I had finished getting dressed and found Damon stirring eggs and getting bacon slices into the stove. He was dressed in a blue striped apron that I knew was my dads and it made me smile as he seemed into his cooking. Deciding to join him, I got our mix for waffles and started making some.
"Pass me the bowl of eggs, please" He adds seeing my face. I pass it to him with a smile and he smirks before pouring them in there. I hear my phone vibrate once again and it makes me look at him.
"Can you atleast see who it is?" He grunts before taking my phone out.
"No surprise it's my brother, again" Theres a bite in his tone and he rolls his eyes pocketing my phone again.
I bat my lashes innocently and tilt my head at him. "What'd he say?"
He looks at my face as I feign innocence and sighs. The spatula in his hand starts messing with the eggs to turn them scrambled.
"The usual. Wants to know if you're alright and to get back to him as soon as possible" Damon continues to cook the eggs and I suck my teeth.
Closing the lid over the waffles, I put my full attention on him. "You know he may rush over here if I don't answer him, right?"
The vampire infront of me turns off the fire on the bacon and the eggs. He turns to me and stalks towards me as I feel myself backing into the counter. His arms cage me in and he looks down at me with a serious face. I push my glasses up my scrunching up my nose.
"He can't do that because he knows how I can get" Damon purses his lips. "And he might not come after the call we had while you were in the shower"
"What?!" I push him away and his hand grab my hands roughly. He claps his larger hands over my own and backs me into the counter again making me gulp. "Damon, what did you say?" I make my voice come out softer.
Not breaking eye contact he explains it to me. "I let baby brother know very clearly that if he tried finding some way to get you out from the house or even step foot on this property, you will be dead in a blink" My heart starts beating faster but not in fear.
More so of the fact that Damon really wanted his ring back and would say any lie to get it. Stefan didn't know that he was bluffing and Damon didn't know that he was letting me know he wasn't serious. He may be trying to scare me, but it wasn't gonna work. I saw him (from a tv) at his worst so I lonesome from what he's shown me so far is that he cares about me. Swallowing I feel his nose brush against mines by how close we are.
"We both know your brother is stubborn and won't just listen to you"
His eyes darken as he inhales my scent and I feel his lips brush my own. "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah"
"You must be very addictive then" This makes my mouth twitch as I remember his words to me those many nights ago. "What's so addictive about you, how do you make even the baddest question themselves, Snowflake?"
How we started to want to kiss each other and seemed to forgotten about our conversation...I do not know. These people keep making me want to give in and it's so hard not too. His lips are so pink and-ugh. My tongue licks my bottom lip slowly as I watch his eyes look down at my own mouth. It seems we're thinking the same thing. When he looks back at me, his eyes look brighter like the night before and it makes me wonder if my blood did that?
A beeper goes off letting me know the waffles are done and it makes me clear my throat looking at Damon expectantly. He doesn't let go of my hands but does press me closer against the counter. My breathing gets deeper and it makes me blink up at him. His breath fans over my lips and his body heat raid is ted to me.
"If only you knew how hard it is to not give in" I confess, shocking is both.
He doesn't blink and looks between me and my lips. "Then let the easiness of giving in wash over you" His voice makes me shiver and his mouth twitches at this.
Closing my eyes, I leans forward and as soon as our lips graze together, a surge of water explodes from the sink wetting the floor making me jump. He pulls away from me to turn it off and I feel my heart ready to jump out of my chest. Shit, that was a close one. Thank you powers for stopping me. Why did my powers do that though?
Damon looks at me with soaked hands and chuckles. "You should check your pipes"
With a small shrug I open the waffle maker and take out the waffles, finally. "They're fine, they just do that sometimes" I feel his eyes on me for a second before I see him in the corner of my eyes preparing our plates. A sigh of relief escapes me and I pour more batter into the waffle maker and close it again.
"Oh c'mon, my singing can't be that bad" Damon says crossing his arms looking down at me. I didn't have my glasses on tonight and they were safe in their case.
I raise my brows and a snort escapes me. "Trust me, your singing is more bad than you" This earns a chortle and a feigned hurt expression from Damon.
He's been here for two days now and I can say i'm enjoying his company. Ofcourse he lets me know who's texting me but it's mainly been Elena and Stefan.
"I take offense to that Snowflake" I giggle and throw a pillow at him.
"You'll get over it" I let him know
Raising a brow, Damon turns up the stereo. "How about you sing then? I don't think I ever heard you"
I squint my eyes at him. Feeling confident, I get up seeing this is a song I can sing too. "Okay, prepare to be amazed Salvatore"
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel to touch in my dreams (my dreams)
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard, to survive!
Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly! Can't you feel my heartbeat fast- I want this to last
Need you by my side
We're dancing now and I hit the notes perfectly with my soft voice. The techno beat has us moving our hips and jumping around having fun. Damon starts spinning me around. He suddenly pulls me to him and I start to sing the next verse as we sway.
Your arms are my castle
Your heart is my sky
My eyes are closed and I speak softer singing the next words.
They wipe away tears, that I cry
As the beat changes he pulls me out of his arms and moves me to look at him.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall!
The chorus comes in again and I sing it as Damon speeds us on top of the couch. We start bouncing and I feel my heartbeat fast as he continues speeding us around the home dancing on the furniture. I feel free and happy and enjoy dancing around my place. My hips move aggressively at the fast tempo and Damon follows after me. The song suddenly ends and we're both breathing heavy. Our foreheads touch as we now lay on the couch staring into each other's eyes. These two days made me get a glimpse at Damon's fun side and I love all of it.
Hearing and feeling my pounding heart, I bite my lip nervously staring up at the vampire. He suddenly smirks down at me and his hands are still on my waist.
"Nice voice, Amatheia"
I hear a new song play in the background and ignore it. My cheeks flush pink and a large pale hand suddenly touches my cheek. His fingers graze over my freckles and my breath hitches not able to say anything. I want to close the small gap between us so badly but I can't just yet.
"Way better than yours" I say lamely. It earns a wider smirk from him.
Damon gets ready to say something but his ear perm like he hears something. Raising a brow, he puts up a finger to silence me and grabs my hand before speeding us somewhere.
Blinking, I look around seeing stars and then stagger into his arms seeing we're on my very tall roof. Stefan is below looking at us alarmed and I feel Damon wrapping a hand tightly around my waist.
"Brother" Hero Stefan says with raised hands.
Damon glares. "I thought I told you what would happen when you came over here?"
Stefan's body is tensed. "She doesn't need to be involved in our family drama Damon, leave her out of this" His eyes leave his brothers for a second to look at me and he looks guilty and full of regret for bringing me into their world.
The vampire holding me chuckles and shakes his head. "I'm afraid I can't do that, where's my ring?"
"You'll get it if you let her go" Stefan counters. Damon walks us closer to the edge and I stop breathing as my feet touch the edge.
Now i'm not afraid of heights or anything but it's a pretty far jump. My house has three floors and a basement, with tall ceilings on every floor so...the house is pretty tall and wide. Anybody would be nervous right now so no one can call me a scaredy cat.
Stefan suddenly steps closer and Damon's ring is in his hand. "Okay, come down and get it"
Tsking Damon suddenly moves to my ear and says something that Stefan can't hear at all. "Trust me" I nod and dread what that means. I soon find out when he speaks loudly looking down at Stefan. "I'm afraid throughout the years my trust with you turned to shit"
The strong hold that was once on me is gone, I feel my feet leave the roof and my body falling. The air is thick as I fall down and everything is in slow motion. Stefan screams and my mouth is closed as I feel myself get closer and closer. A whoosh is heard around me and Damon somehow gets his ring from Stefan. The younger brother fights to get to me and before my body hits the driveway, long strong arms are holding me.
My eyes open and see a wild hair Stefan holding me looking down into my eyes as if he couldn't believe he caught me too. On the other side of me, Damon is looking down at me holding my legs preventing them from touching the ground and it makes me confused. Feeling like the rush of events finally caught up to me, I feel shock go throughout my body and pass out feeling my head move to the side.
Blinking slowly, I suddenly let out a shriek seeing bright clear blue eyes staring very close to me. I fall off my bed and land with a 'oof' making me let out a groan. Sitting up, Damon speeds to me and picks me up back into bed. I thank him with my eyes and I look around for Stefan.
"My brother is at home waiting for me to tell him your awake. Since he didn't have an invite, it was up to me to get you back into your warm home" Theres a small smirk on his face but it doesn't reach his face.
This makes me blink and look at my clock for the time and day. It was Saturday and it was like two in the morning making me gasp. Shit, my dad was coming home on Sunday and this was the day to get the house together. I stand up and my hand lightly grazes Damon's arm. It makes me shiver and I see him do the same reaction. My brows scrunch together but I dismiss it.
"He left willingly?"
Damon clicks his tongue. "Okay, I had to point out that you needed to be inside laying down and only I could carry you. I also pointed out that he couldn't sit outside your house all night because your dad was returning this weekend"
I look at him. "Tomorrow, not today"
"He didn't know that" It makes me roll my eyes but my mouth twitches. Jesus, Damon got on my nerves sometimes...in a good way.
Damon smirks and looks down at me. "You hungry or thirsty?"
I shrug. "Some water would be fine" I felt weaker still and didn't wanna eat and throw it up or something.
He winks at me. "Coming right up" Speeding out my room, he comes back with a cold bottle of water and it makes me thankful.
"Thanks" I open it and sip it. The water feels refreshing and makes my throat feel cold as it goes down to my stomach.
What the hell was going on with me? I felt terrible and don't know the cause of it. These past couple days my body felt weird but I can't put my finger on what it could be.
"Sorry for pushing you off the roof, couldn't risk Stefan seeing through me" Most people would've glared or said something mean, but instead I shrug not being normal.
"I understood, like I said Damon...I trust you" My tone is sincere and it makes him show he's thankful by giving my cheek a loud kiss.
"Glad to hear that, Snowflake. What do you say in a couple hours we drink for your last night of having the house to yourself, and my farewell"
I find myself frowning at this. "Your leaving?" I didn't have to ask that because ofcourse he had too. He has his ring now and my father was returning. I couldn't have my dad getting angry at me and wanting to kill Damon catching him here.
Part of me wishes my father had to stay away longer because I was enjoying this time with Damon, but our lives had to go back to normal. I had to be the daughter of a secret vampire hunter, while Damon continued messing with Stefan and making Zach on edge. Plus the car wash already happened and I missed it being in the house with Damon.
"I have too, you can't lock me in your bedroom" Damon wiggles his brows "Unless handcuffs are involved" I roll my eyes playfully at him.
"I'm ignoring that innuendo. If we drink, it has to be flavored vodka"
"Why?"
Truth was I liked that vodka and it also didn't make your breath stink. Your breath smelled fruity and like strong alcohol so you won't be in someone's face with a breath that smelled like ass and fizz.
"It taste better and your breath doesn't stink with it" I say with a shrug.
Damon shakes his head at me. "Fine, as long as it's cherry or apple flavored"
I get up and look for the liquor hidden between my dresser. "I only got cherry" I let him know. He looks shocked at me but grabs the bottle.
"This'll do" I close my eyes for a second as our hands touch and it makes me feel too much. Damon pulls away with the bottle and sets it on the dresser. "Did you hit your head or something?"
I shake my head and look up at him. "Just to be sure can you give me some of your blood?"
The Salvatore nods and bites into his wrist. I grab it and pull it to my lips and take a couple sips feeling as the weird sickness or whatever it was I felt go away. His wrist heals and he looks at me as my muscles relax.
"Thanks that actually worked. I wonder what it was?" I think to myself.
Damon doesn't seem to know either. "Maybe you hurt your back or something?"
I already know that it can't be it and something we don't know is going on.
Running into the lake, I jump and make a splash as I fall in. Damon joins me and we both look at each other. Showing him I was telling the truth, I make my fin appear and he watches it form. It's blue and makes waves in the water. A bikini forms over my breast and my wavy hair is around me as we stare at each other.
A smirk comes across his lips as he moves his legs in his boxers and he starts to raise to the surface. I follow him and feel water fall down my face.
"I thought only witches and vampires existed" He speaks first.
A smile crosses on my face. "So did I, I never would've thought I would be this way"
He swims closer to me and pulls me against him. I feel his arms wrap around my waist and watch his hair cling to his forehead and water drip down his face.
"Your even more beautiful" He still has a smirk and I blush. The liquor had kicked in long ago making me more and more bold. My arms wrap around his neck and my hands touch the back of it.
"Wait till you see what I can do" I lift a palm off his skin and make the water around us move. A circle forms and the water expands away from us and dents low making the circle look large and cool.
Lifting my hand, I raise it and we raise with the water. It forms as high as a tornado but doesn't spin like one. We're in my private lake so I don't feel scared or paranoid about being seen. Damon looks below us and lets out a breathless sound before looking at me. I smile at him and wink before lowering us and making the water turn back to normal.
"That was very cool, Snowflake...or should I call you my enchantress then?" He flirts. His eyebrows wiggle and I feel his body flushed against mine under the water and it's a strange feeling because of the water pressure and density.
My cheeks flush deeper. "I guess my enchantress is kinda lovely" The way my accent says it makes him smirk more.
Damon starts to kiss my skin and I find myself tilting my head to give him better access. "Your accent is very sexy. I ever tell you that?"
I slowly shake my head feeling my skin get hot. "I wouldn't mind hearing those words come out your mouth more though" My breath hitches as he starts to suck and nip on the skin. His fangs come out and grazes my sensitive flesh. He stops and speaks on my skin making me shiver.
"Your. Accent. Is. Sexy" A gasp leaves me as I feel his lips sucks and nips on my skin again. I've been very good not giving in but now alcohol was in the mix. What was a girl to do?
"Damon, we-" My eyes close and I feel him hum vibrating my skin once more.
"What did I tell you about giving in?"
"Let the easiness of giving in, wash over me" I remember his exact words.
Damon smirks and lifts his head up to look at me. The night sky makes his features look even more handsome. "Good memory. Are you gonna do just that?"
Do I? Or do I take my buzzed ass out this water and shower and clean my house before going to bed? My eyes look down to his lips and I feel myself wanting a taste. His eyes how hunger and lust and I can already imagine that's what I look like. Leaning forward, I close my eyes and suddenly kiss his cheek instead of his pretty lips. I pull apart with a loud smack and move out of his hold.
"It's time for me to clean my house for my dads arrival tomorrow, honey bunny" I tease before swimming to the land. My feet come back and I run into the house to shower and do just that.
I fail to notice Damon smirking watching me leave him high and dry. A small chuckle leaves him at me running away and his fingers graze his cheek. Sighing, he swims out of the water and joins me in the house to also clean himself of the lake water and to help clean up the mess he too made.
Lets hope I keep having self control like this.
