Chapter 13

She stood frozen, her face drained of color, eyes wide in pure shock. Her legs trembled beneath her as if the ground might give way at any second.

Ivy rushed to his side, panic written all over her face. She dropped to her knees, her hands flying to his shoulder as she shook him gently but urgently.

“Damon… Wh— Damon…” she stammered, her voice cracking under the weight of fear.

When he didn’t respond immediately, she turned to leave to get help but just as she spun around, a hand shot out and gripped her wrist.

Damon.

His fingers wrapped firmly around her, stopping her in her tracks.

"Damon " She called looking really surprised.

Ivy froze, breath caught in her throat. Damon’s eyes opened slowly, a dark and lazy storm swirling in them.

"Why do you look like that?" His voice was hoarse, but calm.

She blinked. “You..you’re stabbed! You’re bleeding...Damon, you need help, please let me....”

He followed her gaze, glanced lazily down at his bloodied abdomen, then gave a faint scoff.

"Tch. That? It’s nothing " he muttered like he had a paper cut.

"What do you mean it's nothing?! You have a freaking knife in you?! " She half yelled.

Before she could argue more , he suddenly pulled her close, strong arms still capable despite the blood loss. She gasped as he lifted her effortlessly and sat her on top of his desk then stood in between her open legs.

“Damon.....what are you doing? You need to lie down.....”

“You’re trembling, I like it when you tremble ” he interrupted, voice low.

She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Her hands were resting on top of his desk as she stared at him.

“ Selena” he mumbled, brushing her hair back. His touch was tender, even now.

"Are you worried about me ? " He asked with a smirk on his face.

“of course not why would I be ? ” ivy said and puffed her chest up.

His thumb tilted her chin up. “Are you sure? You looked really worried a while ago it was almost like you were going to cry ”

She bit her bottom lip, unable to meet his gaze.

"You saw wrong! I wasn't worrie..."

Damon placed his finger on his lips preventing her from speaking further.

"Do you know what I want to do right now Selena ? " He asked huskily.

"Get treated of course , you are bleeding heavily and the knife is still in your stomach " She said as she stared at his bleeding wound.

"Wrong " He said then used his thumb to raise her chin up making both of them stare deeply into each other's eyes.

"Seeing you in this sexy red lingerie is driving me crazy Selena , I want your legs on my shoulders and I want to eat your p**sy till you can no longer cry for mercy I want to f**k every hole you have , your a$$ , your p**sy and your mouth.......I want my seed deep inside you and I want to be deep inside you Selena " Damon said with his deep husky voice.

Ivy's face was beyond red after hearing all Damon's shameless words she was so flustered that she didn't say anything for whole two minutes.

"Your injury must be messing with your brain, please let go to the hospital " Ivy said and tried to push him but he remained as stiff as a rock.

"Do you care that much about me ? " He asked.

"What?! No but it is dangerous to have a knife inside you , we should...."

Ivy tarillied off her sentence because Damon did the unthinkable and pulled out the knife from his abdomen.

He didn't even flinch or groan as he pulled out the bloody knife after pulling it out he threw it casually on the floor.

Ivy quickly placed both her hands on his wound that was now bleeding more heavily because Damon pulled the knife.

"Are you insane why would you pull out the knife?! " She yelled and Damon chuckled at her behavior.

He placed his hand on her hands that were on his bleeding abdomen and took away her hands from his wound instead he wrapped her now bloody arms around his neck.

"Damon what are you doing I need to apply pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding , aren't you in pain ? " She asked with tears already threatening to fall down her cheek.

She doesn't know why she was feeling this way but it hurts to see Damon like he was at the moment.

" Selena I am fine " he said then drew closer to her.

"B..ut I don't think I will be for long I need you I am losing my sanity already " He mumbled.

"What are you talking about ? " Ivy asked nervously and fearfully.

"Let's sleep together " He said and Ivy's face went completely red.

"I..I "

" Doll what are you thinking of huh? I just want us to sleep " He whispered huskily .

Ivy didn't say anything but she slowly nodded her head positively giving him the go ahead.

He smiled wildly before carrying her off the desk.

"Do you have to carry me ? I can walk on my own " she whispered with her flushed red.

"Yes " He answered honestly.

THE NEXT MORNING

The sun was already up high in the sky and it was shining bright amazing light on the earth and its people.

Ivy laid sound asleep on the bed with Damon she was even in his arms.

The light from outside penetrated through the window and curtains then landed on Ivy's face making her frown in annoyance and slowly open her eyes.

Once she opened her eyes , she looked weak and started trying to process what happened.

All of a sudden last night memories flashed through her mind like a broken record, everything , she remembered everything.

Her face turned a shade of pink , she gently lifted the duvet and took a peek of herself , her face turned more pink when she saw Damon's hand around her waist under the cover.

"I must have been sick in the head how could I agree to sleep on the same bed with him " she thought inwardly.

She tried to get out of the bed but Damon with his eyes closed pulled her back into his arms.

"Where are you going to ? " He asked with his morning deep voice almost driving ivy insane.

"I need to go and bathe " She mumbled.

"It's not like you are going anywhere Let's stay like this for a while " he said and hugged her tighter.

"Your wound....."

"I already had it bandaged up this morning when you were still sleeping " He mumbled and ivy sighed then finally relaxed in his arms.

SOME HOURS LATER

Damon was alone in his room, quietly getting dressed for work. The morning air was still and calm until the door flew open with a loud bang.

“Damon!” Randy shouted as he stormed in like a madman, rushing forward and wrapping Damon in a tight hug that nearly choked him.

“Randy, what the hell?!” Damon yelled, trying to wriggle out of his grasp. “Have you completely lost it?!”

Randy finally released him, grabbing his shoulders with urgency. His expression was panicked.

“I got a call from your family doctor,” he said breathlessly. “She told me you summoned her early this morning to treat a stab wound. Damon, how did you get hurt? Did someone break in?!”

Damon smirked coldly as he straightened his suit jacket. “Do you really think anyone would dare enter my territory and lay a finger on me?”

“Then what are you saying?” Randy asked, voice rising in panic. “That you stabbed yourself?! Damon.....don’t tell me your sleepwalking disorder is back!”

“It’s nothing serious,” Damon replied, brushing him off. “I’m not badly hurt ”

“This isn’t just about the wound!” Randy snapped. “You need to see a proper doctor. You need to know how bad things have gotten, Damon!”

But Damon only shrugged. “I said I’m fine ”

“And what if it happens again?” Randy pressed, his voice growing desperate. “What if next time you hurt Selena?”

“I’d never do that,” Damon growled, his eyes darkening. “I’d never hurt my Selena ”

“How can you be so sure?” Randy shot back. “You can’t even control yourself when you sleepwalk! Damon, you almost killed her the last time....don’t you remember?! It could happen again!”

“Shut up!” Damon roared, eyes blazing. “F**king stop talking!”

Without warning, he swung his fist and landed a hard punch to Randy’s face, splitting his lip. Randy staggered back, stunned by the sudden blow.

“Damon…” he muttered, holding his bleeding mouth.

"Leave!! Leave before I lost it!!! " Damon yelled and Randy sighed and took his leave.

The moment Randy was out of sight Damon started hurting himself punching himself directly in the same place he had stabbed himself last night.

He smiled like a maniac despite the fact he was now bleeding heavily.

This was a side of him he never wanted Selena to see. the side where he becomes a monster and derived pleasure from hurting himself or torturing someone.
