When Lily woke the next morning, she expected to find herself alone. Surely, Damon had woken up and escaped, leaving here there to face the cold reality of what she’d done: sex with the enemy. Not just sex—her first night with a man. And she’d shared it with a werewolf. An alpha werewolf.
But when she awoke, it was to the soft touch of fingers in her hair.
Damon was staring up at the ceiling. She found herself asleep on his bicep—using the firm muscle as a pillow. And as she slept, he had been absentmindedly stroking her hair.
Already, Lily could tell something was bothering him.
She sat up, covering herself with the sheets, her hair a tangled mess around her head. Her body ached—a deep pulsing in her core, left behind by the wrath of Damon. She clutched her stomach and looked over at Damon, who was still lost in the sky.
