Damon didn’t miss the desire he felt off the young man speaking to Liya. Instinctively, he wanted to rip his arms off. However, when Liya stepped out into the hall, he really couldn’t fault the poor bastard. She was a sight to behold. He knew she was beautiful, but no words could describe her at that moment although he tried, “Liya. You are ravishing.” He took her hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of it. She blushed. He then turned to the young man as Liya introduced them. So he has his sights set on you, my love. I might have to discourage him.Jeff watched the two together and it bothered him. It wasn’t because he was worried about her, it was obvious the man was sincere in his feelings and also, her friends were going with her. It was the way they looked together, and for the first time in his life he felt very insignificant. He watched the way they looked at each other. There seemed to be a silent understanding between them, like shared secrets. Even though it was
Damon’ other hand went to the back of her neck and caressed the soft flesh at her nape as he rested his chin on top of her head. It seemed to be the most natural thing in the world to hold her and have her body fit so perfectly against his. After a moment of holding her close he felt that undeniable urge to taste her innocent blood rise in him. He was able to hold it at bay, but it wasn’t easy. He nearly lost control in the hospital the other night just by the mere scent of her innocence. He could feel the blood flow through her. Combine that with the powerful pulsation of desire she created within him from pressing her delicious body against him, it almost made him lose control. Also, it didn’t help that she was a sight behold tonight and he had more than one kind of hunger to contend with. How the hell was he going to try and pull this night off without influencing and seducing her? He pulled away and gazed down at her for a moment. He had sworn an oath that he wouldn’t take
Forty-five minutes later the Hummer coasted down a private road to an estate framed with a set of eight foot high wrought iron gates and a solid stone wall of equal height. Another Limousine was just allowed entry by two security guards stationed at the gates. They just waved the Hummer through, obviously knowing who was in it.Anna eyed the tall gates as the car slid through, “Afraid of visitors, Mr. Baal.” She smiled and stated it in a joking manner, although she was being sarcastic.He didn’t miss the sarcasm, “I have nothing to hide.” He locked his gaze on hers, ”I’m not afraid of much of anything Anna.” He purposely used her first name“I can understand that Damon.” She dropped the formality as he had. “But isn’t that the price for fame.”Liya’s eyes shot to Anna, catching the tone in her voice. Damon squeezed her hand reassuringly. He managed to give her a cold smile, “You ever pull a journalist out from under your bed?”“Your bed?” Liya and Aya said i
Damon entered his study where Liya still lay in a peaceful sleep. He approached her and went down on one knee in front of the couch watching her for a moment. He then followed Amon’s movement by gently turning her head to one side exposing her neck. He traced a path down her neck with his fingertips. “For someone who usually knows how to handle just about anything, I’m at a loss when it comes to you.” His answer was slow rhythmic breathing. He lowered his forehead to hers and closed his eyes.“You should be more careful, Damon on openly showing her.” Amon suddenly vaporized behind him.Damon remained unmoved. It had taken him centuries to get used to Amon’s sudden appearances. Another long developed talent of his was being able to sense Amon before this happened. He was too preoccupied with Liya and never felt him arrive.Amon knew this, “You are becoming a danger to yourself.”“I know.” Damon stood to face Amon.Without warning, Amon raised one of his boney
Damon had his back to her when she first hopped in. Now he turned to face her, his shirt unbuttoned, “Lost?” He tilted his head slightly, not the least bit surprised that she was there.She shook her head, her eyes probing his naked chest. He was perfect, she thought. What a gorgeous body. From his thick chest to his flat rippled abs, there wasn’t an ounce of fat on him. It made Aya itched to run her hands down the sprinkle of hair that splayed over his upper half. Hell, she’d like to trail her fingers down the thin ling of hair that dissected his flat stomach to disappear into the waistline of his expensive slacks.“Hiding from an angry wife?” he said doing his best not to display the disgust in his expression from reading her thoughts.She looked up at him, a sensual smile slid across her lips, “Not quite” Her voice slurred a little.“I’m running out of guesses Aya. What’s left doesn’t leave much to be desired.” It
Late afternoon the next day, Liya crawled out of her bed. She looked over to the other bed in her dorm room and it was occupied. Liya also came home. She must’ve not found herself a date for the night. She wasn’t sure if Anna had made it home or not. She last saw her with Nathan and remembered seeing him later in the evening, but not Anna. However, the way she was hanging off him made her know that they had something going. However, there were a huge amount of people there, she didn’t remember seeing Aya later either. Damon must’ve sent her home in the car like he did with her but she was so tired she didn’t hear her come in.She was still stinging from Anna’s words. It was just so unbecoming of her. Part of her was angry at her, besides being curious to the sudden change in attitude. However, she never went out with her before, except that first night she met Damon. Maybe she was like this around men. She walked to the window that looked out onto the street and park below
That evening Liya finished a term paper in the library then went back to her dorm room to get some studying done. Aya was gone when she returned, most likely out with friends. She sat cross-legged in a chair at her desk and chewed the end of her pencil thinking of Damon and wondering if he was thinking of her. This was no way to get any work done, she scolded herself. She stared out the window at the fading daylight, and suddenly realized she’d spent most of the day daydreaming. However, she was thankful that she at least got one paper done. She hadn’t heard from Damon all day and let the thoughts creep into her head that she’d turned him off her the previous night. If she really thought about it, she cried, fainted and acted very needy. She blushed at the incidents. No wonder she could never get a date, some fun she was. Not only that her two friends were so much prettier and were probably better entertainment than she was. At least they knew how to treat and act around a
Monday morning proved difficult to crawl out of bed at seven to meet her eight o’clock class of chemistry. There was a lump in Aya’s bed under the covers. Obviously she finally came home. Liya actually stopped to ponder why someone would take such an opportunity to get an education for granted. Sighing and shaking her head she turned away not wanting to think anymore on the subject. Aya was her friend.Liya was still very tired but was able to make her first class with a few minutes to spare. She even managed to quickly rifle through the boxes still piled on the floor in front of her closet and found a nice summery soft green blouse, white above the knee skirt adorned with small daisies, and white sandals. She quickly glanced in the mirror to fix her hair and decided to leave it down like Damon preferred.Nathan stood under a tree in the park across from her dorm building as Liya skipped down the stairs. He had dismissed Julian and took up the task of watching Liya. Jul
