Be Careful When You Bite Me

Chapter 48

When I woke up, the sun was beaming too harshly through the wide-open windows. I flicked my eyes

to lighten the effects of the strong light. I whipped the thick plush covers off of me to reveal my naked

body. I ran my hands through my still-damp hair.

I couldn't help the smile that played on the corner of my lips as I reminisced over scenes of the night

before. I sat up and winced when I heard the sound of something shattering behind me.

I peeked behind at the charcoal grey wooden headboard that had been smashed into two. My mouth

slightly widened and I realized that I had no idea how that had happened.

I scanned the room for Damon but I couldn't find him. I tried not to feel the disappointment as much as I

could and forced myself to get out of bed. The walk to the bathroom was hard, I struggled to move my

legs. They felt wobbly and tired and most of all, numb. Between my thighs still pulsated but I felt a slight

tinge of pain. I rinsed myself in hot water quickly and put on some clothes before heading out into the

living room when Asia was. She was seated on the couch watching tv, nibbling on a bowl of fruit.

She smiled immediately when her eyes landed on mine.

"I didn't want to wake you," she began," how did you sleep, er, not sleep I guess."

I felt my face flush a bright red as I slumped myself on the couch beside her and stole a berry from her

plate.

I stared at her wide-eyed until I was finally ready to utter words," with Xavier, your first time," I began

and paused to search for the words," was it-did it, did he-"

She nodded, her smiling beaming," yes it was."

I nodded as well," okay...we broke your headboard."

Asia's eyes widened and she stared at me back wide-mouthed as well before replying simply with,"

that's okay, I'll buy a new one."

"Where is he, where are the both of them?" I asked, switching the topic. There was no way I was going

to talk about last night any further mainly because I didn't know the words to describe how it felt.

I craved him merely sitting here on the sofa in a way that felt oddly indecent. If there were a word to

describe something that collectively and simultaneously was sexy, dirty, passionate, and elevating, it

would have not even begun to describe it. It was as if love met lust and collided in the most powerful

and greatest way. I wanted more for the rest of my life.

"Holly," Asia's sharp tone brought me back to reality," you there?"

"Sorry," I mumbled," I-I got lost in my thoughts."

"I was saying that Damon told me to tell you to get ready, he's going to take you home today."

"What," I examined," why?"

"It's time Holly," Asia's expression turned sad," you have to go back-"

"I don't want to," I continued, "Damon-"

"It's better for the both of you to separate right now, it's safer."

"The Council doesn't want me, I-I could stay with him," I knew there was almost no common sense in

my words right now and I knew fighting this would be a lost cause.

"Holly, you saved him," Asia placed her hands on mine. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"After almost killing him!"

"That wasn't your fault, the Council is merciless-"

"Which is why I need to stay with him!"

"If you stay with him now, you'll kill him and yourself...you'll kill all of us."

I stared into her big kind eyes and felt mine began to tear up," I'm not ready," I breathed out.

"You never are to leave the one that you love."

By the time I got ready, Damon and Xavier were just getting in. I stood at the doorway of my room

watching him walk in. His eyes caught mine immediately.

"Car's downstairs," said Xavier, his eyes gazing at his brother and back at me, "you ready?"

I nodded still staring at Damon," yes."

Silently, I walked towards the door. Asia ran out from behind the kitchen island.

"Wait!" She screamed out. I turned around and was immediately tackled by her open arms. She dug

her face in my neck, "I'm going to miss you, Holly, you've been like a sister to me."

I hugged her back just as tightly as she had hugged me. That feeling of comfort returned as soon as I

touched her. I inhaled her floral and fresh scent in," thank you for everything."

She pulled back and gripped both of my hands in hers," take care of yourself."
