Shattered Violets~41

41

Lying in bed, I began to drift off, thinking about all the things I needed to do. I knew deep down I had Damon on my side, now I just needed him to start an argument with my father. The only way to do that was to hit Pops where it hurt; his wallet.

Unlucky for me, Damon finished his work a lot quicker than I had expected him too. After leaving him in his office alone just over twenty minutes ago, he was now knocking on my bedroom door. I should have known  he’d pounce on the offer to sleep next to me. 

“Vivian, my love. Are you awake.” He whispered loudly, so I could hear him through the thick door.

During over so I could face the suite doors, I replied dryly. “Yes, come in Damon.”

Damon opened the door slowly, gazing upon me lying in bed, with the covers barely draped over my legs revealing the satin and lace halter nightgown the Liz at purchased for me in a deep plum color. “Are you sure you haven’t changed your mind?” He said, as he walked towards the bed, undoing his tie. I could see a fire burning behind his eyes, which caused me to recoil internally.

Sighing deeply, I answered him. “No, I haven’t changed my mind. You may sleep in here with me.” I could feel the guilt pull in my stomach. I didn’t want him in here, but I needed to make this seem believable to anyone looking inside these walls. I just prayed that when this was all over, Angel would understand.

I watched as Damon stroll into the bathroom, he came out a few minutes later in just his boxers. Unable to control my laugher, I covered my mouth to muffle the sound escaping. I couldn’t believe this big, bad man was wearing acorn covered boxers with a little squirrel decal popping out of the fly. Maybe he did have a personality under the big mean gangster persona.

 “What’s so funny sweetheart.” Damon looked at me a little puzzled.

“Nothing, I was just admiring your boxers.” I busted out in hysterics. 

Damon looked down and smiled up at me. “Oh, you like what you see?”

I couldn’t help but blush. “That wasn’t what I meant.” My tone defensive. Why the fuck of you blushing, don’t turn into a stupid twit Vi.

Damon came over to the bed and pulled down the blankets; feeling the mattress shift under his weight as he lay beside me; my heartbeat quickens. There was this underlining feeling that this was a mistake. If I led him on, I was playing with fire. They type of fire that destroys you from the inside out. 

We lay there for what felt like an eternity. Damon didn’t say a word or make a move towards me. Soon I could feel my body relax and start to drift off to sleep. Before I floated off completely, I heard Damon whisper, “Sleep well my love.” After that, I remembered nothing more until morning. That was until I woke up in Damon’s arm as he playfully kissed the curvature of my neck.

At first, I didn’t realize I was wrapped up in his embrace. Everything felt so dreamy. I couldn’t help but be drawn into the warmth as his hard body as it was being pressed against mine, even the sensation of his hot breath against my skin felt inviting.  I had to admit I was shocked that I had been using one of Damon’s arms as a pillow, and even more surprised that he used his other arm to wrap around my waist to secure me to him.

Trying to catch my breath, I laid as still a possible, keeping my eyes closed.

“Vivian my darling, I know you’re awake. I can feel your heart racing in your chest.”  As he spoke, Damon ran his hand under my left breast; cupping his hand around my heart. I couldn’t say he was foundling me, but the sensation caused my flesh to tingle.
