I Love You

The sound of the running water echoed from inside Damon's room the moment I stepped through the door. 

The door to his ensuite bathroom was still closed despite his bedroom door being unlocked, and I could see the steam coming out from the cracks underneath, making me wonder how hot he had turned the temperature to. It was as though he was attempting to scald his skin off to replace it with a new pelt, masquerading as something he no longer was.

"Damon?" I called out, closing the door shut behind me as I approached the bathroom.

The running water stopped, and almost immediately after, the bathroom door opened. Damon stepped out, beads of water still clinging onto his defined abs and chest as a white towel hung on his hips. He wiped at his wet hair with another towel, his gaze lazily falling on me. He didn't even seem surprised in the slightest.
