I Love You

Dimitri Sokolov,

As I held the big black wolf in my arms, I felt… indescribable.

There was something about Damon's presence that grounded me, something I couldn't quite explain.

His warmth seeped into me, his steady breathing calming my racing heart.

The chaos of the day seemed to fade as I stroked his fur gently, marveling at the sheer power of the creature in my arms.

He closed his eyes, settling deeper into my hold, and I couldn't help but smile.

For someone so fierce, so stubborn, this quiet vulnerability was mesmerizing.

We stayed like that, just the two of us in the middle of the woods, until I felt myself drifting off, his warmth lulling me into sleep.

When I woke up, the woods were dark, the faint hum of crickets and rustling leaves filling the air.

I blinked groggily, realizing something was… different. Damon wasn't in his wolf form anymore. He had shifted back.

And he was completely naked.
