Chapter 22

The hour soon passed after Lily had pressured me into sharing a dessert with her. I didn't know if I was going to be able to stomach it but Damon finished off the last few bites.

I was thankful when Christian finished up his conversation with Shane and we all got ready to leave.

I didn't dare look at Damon as he said goodbye to everyone and joined me in his car. When he was finally inside and the door closed behind him. I was finally able to take a deep breath. My anxiety was finally gone but when Damon reached over and caressed my thigh.

It came back in waves.

" you ready," Damon asked leaving me to try and figure out what he was referring to. But when I looked into his eyes, I knew already.

I nodded. " where did you even put my panties "I asked searched the car, hoping that Lily wasn't in fact able to see them.

" In my pocket" was his blunt reply and he started reversing out of the carpark. Sending a subtle wave to the others who were just waiting for us to leave.
