Be Careful When You Bite Me

Chapter 42

She simply nodded. I looked up at Damon who was staring at him with a slightly worried look on his face. I sent him a reassuring smile and headed towards the guest room. Once I was in bed, I was ready to drift away into a deep slumber when the sound of the door opening interrupted.

"Holly, are you sleeping yet?"

It was Damon.

"Hi," I replied, without sitting up, I simply had no strength to do so," no, I'm still up."

He closed the door behind him and walked closer until he was standing beside my face. I continued to look up at him keeping quiet. He seemed at a loss for words but he didn't need to speak for me to understand what was going on in his brain.

A few minutes of silence passed before he finally said, "I don't know where to start."

I smiled," I know."

"I'm sorry, for everything that's happened to you if I could take it back-"

"I know," I replied, once again.

"You could have ended it all for yourself, Luna would have done the ritual, you didn't need to risk your life for mines, it could have been over-"

"Damon," I said, looking up at him," I know." He remained silent and so did I. My eyes were now closed. I didn't want to talk anymore, I just wanted to feel as if everything was going to be okay for once in the past couple of weeks, I wanted to breathe.

"Damon," I whispered.

"Yes?" he replied.

"I know you don't sleep and all, but could you pretend, can you hold me until I do?"

When he stayed silent I thought that he may have felt strange at the odd request but to my surprise, he hoisted himself up onto the bed and positioned himself until he was lying right behind me. He put one arm over my chest and held me close. Had I not been so fatigued, I would have absolutely swooned at the utter thrill of his touch that sent the butterflies in my stomach into a frenzy. Instead, I let myself physically and mentally melt into his embrace.

When I woke up, the alarm clock beside my head on the side table read 3:34 pm. I felt Damon's arms still wrapped around me. I sat up and noticed that he was staring at me.
