Chapter 11

Eleven

The following few nights were exactly how I imagined it. Spending time with our families and indulging in late-night conversations, the ones I missed from his many years away.

I had just woken up from a nap that I was taking in Damon's bedroom when I heard voices from the hallway. I rolled out of his bed and instantly noticed the large duffel bag placed by the wardrobe. Making my way over I peeked inside. My eyes narrowing as I saw the clothes neatly placed inside alone with his uniform.

My mind couldn't think of anything else, only that my worst nightmare was coming true.

I raced over to the door and pulled it open.

Multiple pairs of eyes snapped over to me. Damon's were the only ones I cared about and all those eyes showed me was fear and guilt.

I caught Lily placing a hand on his arm, as she motioned to me with her eyes filled with tears.

I moved as quickly as I could, slamming the door closed before he could even get to me. But Damon wasn't giving up and I expected that.. He took the first approach of banging on the door commanding me to open it.

"No Damon, you're leaving again just like then and no doubt you weren't going to say goodbye" I said just as i felt my hands start to become sweaty. The anxiety seeping into my body, thinking of another 5 years without Damon.

It was too soon, he can't leave me now.

"Open this door, before I come in there myself" He begged with urgency. I had to shake my head, his voice made me feel all hot but I had to act professional here.

I stayed silent as I heard more voices from the other side of the door.

"I'm not leaving till she speaks to me, fuck off Adam" I head Damon shout. I rolled my eyes. I'm the one who should be angry right now, he's the one leaving again.

A few more words were said before Damon ultimately hit a breaking point.

"fuck it" I heard him mumble before I heard the sound of a click on the door and it was instantly unlocked leaving me no time to step back when the strong force of Damon barging in.

I had no way out as I was instantly picked up by my legs and carried across the room before Damon was pushing me down on the bed.

"get off me Damon, Just leave me now and stop this pain already" I didn't care that I was crying didn't he know exactly how much I need him.

He looked down his chest rising and falling. "I don't want to leave you again but if you listen to me you'll realise that it's only for a week and I will be right back" I shook my head hating the words that he was saying.

I Didn't want excuses I repeated in my head only to open my eyes when I registered what he just said.

"a week?" I question him now opening my eyes fully and searching for his. I wiped my tears away leaning forward. Why would he be going just for a week?

"yes baby, a week I was literally about to tell you before you ran off like that" He says laughing. Yes, I admit, I was a little bit crazy when I heard but could he blame me.

"my friend who I served with is dying over there. Me and the guys are going over there to spend his last days" he explains to me as we made our way back downstairs. I curse in my head. I feel like such a moron right now.

Everyone was sitting around the kitchen table eating away at a takeaway pizza. Once they heard us they all looked over. Adam was sporting a light red mark on his face. A few seconds passed before I put two and two together.

"you did that" I exclaim rushing over to Adam. "why did you hit him Damon" I snap turning to face him. He shrugged his shoulders but he did look remorseful. I rushed over to the fridge and took out an ice pack.

Ada winced when I touched him "I'm fine I just pissed him off that's all," Adam says defensively not accepting the ice. Where was my sister, she needs to be doing this.

I stepped away before taking a generous slice of pizza and munching on it. From the corner of my eye, I noticed there were two big black bags in the corner. When I heard the sound of keys I knew he'd be leaving tonight.

Brilliant.

I watched him lean against the door he was just standing there perched up against the wall just staring at me. Reluctantly I finished with my pizza and stood up. I walked over to Damon before grabbing at his jacket and taking him out of the room away from all the curious eyes.

I didn't have to pull too hard all I had to do was give a light tug. Damon would let me drag him anyway.

Once I reached the hallway I pushed him into his room shutting the door quietly. When I turned to him I noticed how he was already staring at me, a hint of a smirk on his lips. I took two big steps towards him before I was roughly pulled against his chest. his hands quickly reaching down to grab my thighs.

He lifted me up effortlessly and turned so my back was against the wall now and Damon was leaning into me. "one week, I promise baby girl" he says his lips hovering over mine. I nodded my head know if I spoke id just start crying.

"can you do something before you leave Damon," I ask him my fingers fiddling with the hairs against his neck.

"anything" he whispers.

I smiled, tightening my legs around his waist. "kiss me Damon" I said just loud enough for him to hear.

His eyes stared back at me his fingers against my throat. He loud out a quiet moan before granting me my wish. He pressed his mouth firmly against mine at first. I instantly parted my lips welcoming his warm lips.

He moved his mouth against mine urgently like he was hungry. Hungry for me.

I grabbed his neck pulling him into me letting him take my mouth in abandon. I was instantly reminded of my first kiss with Damon before he was gentle with my first kiss but now he wasn't holding back.

"fuck baby, you taste amazing," he said before moving back in and pushing his tongue through my now red lips. I moaned into him as he searched for my tongue his mouth now fully on me.

After a while he leant back, both of us were breathing heavily.

"a whole week until I get to kiss those beautiful lips, this is going to be hell," he says leaning his head against mine a smile gracing his lips.

Damon reluctantly let go of me. " I promise to stay with you tonight but I need to spend a few hours with my family. My mother's reaction was actually worse than yours" He explains to me as he lets me go but doesn't move away from me.

" You should be lucky that both of us react this way when you leave" I whispered as I leant up for just one more kiss before he would undoubtedly spend time with Natalie.

Damon's lips slanted with mine. " I know, I must be sick to keep making you both cry" he mumbled, his thumb coming up to stroke my cheek in a tender way.

" I don't want to think about how many tears you've shed for me baby"

I shook my head. " Just don't let me shed anymore Damon, I can't live like this" I answered him honestly.

Through the rest of the night. Damon spent time with everyone else. We all listened as he spoke about this man that was bordering on death and how he fought courageously.

Hearing the stories that Damon tells me always fascinates me even more than the previous tory. It was difficult to believe that Damon was really fighting in the war but there was no doubt in my mind that he carried himself well and protected his comrades just like he protected all of us here.

I excused myself later in the night. Damon stayed with both our fathers and played games till late.

I picked up my phone and spent time just looking through social media as I waited for Damon to join me but my eyes were starting to feel heavy. Luckily Damon joined me just before I fell asleep.

" Let me shower first," he said as I glanced at him with excitement. He pinched his t-shirt emphasising that he was sweaty and needed a shower desperately.

He stalked over to me, pushing my chin up. " Don't fall asleep yet" he whispers hotly into my ear. He chuckled as he saw the way my eyes widened. He refused to say another word and disappeared to the bathroom to shower.

I made sure I didn't. Going as far as walking around the room to keep me awake. I was going to make sure that I didn't miss these few hours with Damon.

The sound of the door closing had me spinning around. Damon was leaning against the wall and watching me.

" why don't you come over here" He called out to me as he dried behind his neck. I wasted no time in walking over expecting to wrap my arms around his waist but Damon had other plans as he laid down on the bed and brought me with him.

" Damon" I squealed when I felt his wet hair on my neck. He nuzzled his face into my neck only making it worse.

Finally, I used all my strength to flip us over and straddle Damon before he could do anything else.

Damon stared up at me, his finger tracing the wetness left from his hair. " I'll miss you these next few days" he whispers, not removing his eyes from me.

I breathed in deeply. " As long as you come back to me," I said, running my fingers down his chest. It should be a sin to look and smell this good.

"Always" He whispers, leaning and gentle pressing his lips against mine. Meanwhile turning us over at the same time.

My hair was spread over my face but Damon quickly moved it behind my ear and brought his lips to my cheek. Then to my lips again.

He continued to kiss me, making sure to move his hands down my body. It was only turning me on even more.

" I know I only have to say this once but this body should only be touched by me. You waited this long so I am confident that you will last these few days"

Damon's words were nothing new to me. I wouldn't even find the time to get close to another man. All I would be thinking about is Damon.

It should be me that's worried Damon. I saw how the girls are with you, promise me you won't touch any girl like you're touching me" I asked or rather begged him.

I wanted to be and feel special enough that Damon only touched me like this.

Kissed me like this.

Damon kissed me harder. " I promise" He whispered. Gripping my hips in his hands and pushing his tongue with mine.

He gripped so hard that I pushed my hips against his. I loved the feeling of his hips meeting mine and I was clearly addicted to whatever sensation it gave me.

I desperately sought for more.
