Riley grabbed the side of the sofa and at the same time she heard footsteps approaching.
"W...who is it? S..sstop right there." She stammered, taking steps back. She was now able to see slightly as her sight adjusted to the darkness.
"Please ghost, l...leave me alone.." She whispered to herself so very afraid.
"Are you scared of ghosts?" The deep rich voice enveloped her and her eyes shot open wide hearing that voice so close to her as she blinked several times.
She took in a sharp breath and she instantly inhaled the familiar musky soothing scent of his.
She was holding her breath all the time so when she heard the familiar voice, she finally breathed agai
Not a blink later the lights were back on and she turned to face him who only looked at her sheepishly. "Was just rechecking it." He said with a shrug.Riley took in a deep breath to calm her heart down as she started walking up the stairs and back into the hall. She was cautious and looked around with big eyes in case she spotted the ghost.Walking to the sofa she sat on it and touched her knee where she got the hit only to hiss in pain. She pulled her dress up and stared at the purple and blue bruise now.It would probably take a few days to heal.She shook her head and was about to push the dress down when a calloused hand grabbed her calves and next Mr. Damon was examining her bruise with utmost concern. His thi
Riley didn't scream Damon's name. She didn't want that wolf to know she was in the woods as well.She ran with cautious steps, making sure that she wouldn't make any noise but the sharp broken branches and twigs on the rugged ground were piercing the soles of her feet, making her hiss in pain..Moonlight was not enough for her to see everything clearly but she still went on and looked around for any glance of Damon.Why does Damon have to leave at such a time? Now where would she find him in this large forest."D..Damon." She said in a low voice because she was afraid. She wanted to save him but at the same time she was scared.She took a few steps ah
"No!" Riley screamed and thrashed, trying to get her arm free but he didn't let go and only tightened his hold on her."Relax Riley." His voice was a deep baritone causing chills to run down her spine."Let me go!" She screamed as she wasn't in her senses. She just found out the man who saved her, the man she was living with from the last few days wasn't even human.When he didn't let her arm go, she bit his hand with all her strength which only got him to wince a little but that was it. So she bit him harder but he just didn't let her go."Riley, listen to me." He said and the calmness of his voice was terrifying."No! Let me go!" She screamed and yet agai
He didn't even let her think as his large hands grabbed her thighs and spread them apart before he smoothly stood in between her legs as a loud horrified gasp left her lips at their intimate position."W...what are you doing?" She stammered and tried to pull her legs back so she could crawl back on the table and hop down from the other side but Damon only grabbed the back of her knee and yanked her even closer, she gasped as her palms landed on his chest to create appropriate distance."Listen to me." His voice came out low and stern. Hawk was going crazy inside his head because he didn't like how his mate was going berserk and trying to get away from him."I w..want to go home. L..let me go." Her voice was low and scared as she pushed at his chest but he won't even budge.
His eyes moved up to her face and he paused.Her eyes were casted down and she was breathing heavily through her parted, swollen red lips. Moving towards his drawer he took out his lighter and turned it on. She gasped when light filled the small of her surroundings and she could finally see his face."What did he do?" Damon asked calmly but the anger was clear in his voice."Huh?" She said dumbfounded, still trying to come back to the real world."Did he hurt you somewhere else?" Damon asked while holding her chin between his forefinger and thumb and tilted her face up to examine the bruise.She was too stunned to comprehend. He looked so normal as if
He has a sister?She must be like him. A werewolf.Riley stayed quiet. It was so much to take in. Her head hurts and she was hungry, she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday's breakfast. Her life has been on a rollercoaster since yesterday.The turning of events have left her exhausted, mentally and physically. There was so much to take in, so much to think about that it was taking a toll on her.Kayla's eyes lowered down to the bruise of Riley's neck which was a little blue and still sore but it was far better than last night when even speaking was painful for her."I'm so sorry for this." She said softly and Riley just blinked at her. Why was she being s
"You're not going anywhere." A deep voice rumbled from behind her and her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach, her hands became sweaty as she clutched the plate tightly and fixed her eyes to the floor. She could feel his heated gaze drilling holes in her back that goosebumps rose on her flesh. All of a sudden Kayla tried to stand up, Riley's eyes widened as she immediately tried to stop Kayla from leaving as she grabbed her hand and placed her plate on the coffee table. Riley didn't dare to look behind she only grasped Kayla's hand tightly and pleaded through her eyes that not to leave her alone. After what she saw last night, she was scared of Damon and not only that, they freaking kissed. She couldn't face him. She didn't have the courage to face him.
Her back came in contact with the wall behind her as her eyes widened in dread, she glared at the wall through her shoulder feeling angry for her situation. When Riley looked in his way again to measure the distance, a loud gasp escaped her lips when she found his large frame hovering over her.Her hands clamped against the wall for support as she kept her eyes rooted to his chest. He didn't say a word and with each passing second her heart was beating at an abnormal rate.She noticed the small space to her left. She could escape from there easily if she was fast enough. And that was what she did, she tried to move from the side but she literally jumped in her place startled and shocked when Damon placed his large hand on the wall right beside her head. She immediately tried to make a run from her right and he did the same thing ther
