Damon's POVI stopped my car at Lily's house, something just didn't sit well with me. There was no way I was letting the date end just like that. Without a second thought, I took her into my arms, my eyes meeting her as I slowly move my gaze to her lips. Not holding back again, I took her lips in mine. The soft flesh tasting of soft wine and honey as I wanted badly to taste more of her. She moaned, her hands holding me tightly then I let go, my breath heavy as I did. She was catching her breath then she whispered, "Goodnight," into my ears, her voice soft and sweet. I couldn't help but smile, feeling my heart skip a beat. "Goodnight," I replied, my voice filled with warmth and affection.

Damon's POVI stared intently at Terry, a nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something about his breathing seemed off, indicating that he was lying. I couldn't let it go. I needed to know the truth. Ignoring Terry's protests, I used my superhuman strength to hold him in place, preventing him from escaping."Let me go, you bastard!" Terry shouted, struggling against my grip.I tightened my hold, my voice filled with coldness. "Not until you tell me the truth, Terry. I can see through your lies." "Whatever he was hiding, he had better let it out before I let myself go, and I meant that in an awfully bad way. He sure wouldn't like me when I got passed the limit of my cool." I thought, every single breath laced with venom.Terry's eyes widened, fear creeping into his gaze. "I swear, I'm not lying! Just let me go!"I ignored his pleas, my focus solely on finding the truth. I reached into the inner breast pocket of Terry's jacket and pulled out a large piece of paper. Terry tried to
Lily's POVThe morning sun gently filtered through the expansive windows of the elegant dining room, casting a warm and inviting glow upon the room. The high ceilings and tastefully adorned walls, adorned with exquisite paintings, added to the grandeur of the space. The table, covered in a soft lavender tablecloth, was meticulously set with delicate china and sparkling silver cutlery, reflecting the light in a mesmerizing dance.Seated at the table, I found myself lost in a sea of worry. It had been two long days since I last heard from Damon, and with each passing moment, my heart grew heavier with concern. The uncertainty gnawed at me, leaving me restless and anxious. I couldn't help but wonder if something terrible had befallen him, sending a shiver down my spine at the mere thought.My mother, Roseline Monroe, noticed the somber expression etched upon my face and furrowed her brows in concern.

(Damon's POV)I couldn't believe my eyes as Lily walked into the restaurant, her emerald green dress hugging her curves in all the right places. My mouth hung open in shock, and I had to quickly close it when she playfully teased me about a fly going in. I was lost for words, completely captivated by her beauty."Close your mouth, Damon," she said playfully, a hint of seduction in her voice. "You don't want a fly to go in, do you?"I immediately closed my mouth, feeling a rush of heat to my cheeks. "You...you are out of this world, absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous," I managed to stammer out, my voice filled with awe.Lily smiled, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "Thank you, Damon. You don't look too bad yourself."I wanted to tell her about what I had discovered, about my father and the underground science laboratory, but in that moment, I decided to put it aside. I wanted to savor this beautiful moment, to bask in the glow of Lily's presence.As we sat down at our table, I couldn

The sound of shattering glass and panicked screams filled the air, and I clung to Damon's arm, feeling his strength and protection."Lily, stay low and stay hidden. I'll handle this." He whispered as I tried to control my breathing. "Damon, please be careful."

Her bravery and strong heart had left me in awe. As we sat in the car, driving away from the chaos, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Amusement, admiration, and a newfound sense of respect for Lily."You really know how to handle yourself, Lily," I said, a smile playing on my lips. "I've never seen someone fight like that before."Lily blushed, her eyes focused on the road ahead. "I guess I surprised myself too.

You saved us back there."Lily glanced at me, her eyes shining with a mixture of pride and vulnerability. "I'll always have your back, Damon.

"What are your plans now?" I asked, my voice filled with curiosity.Damon sighed, his fingers gently tracing circles on my back. "Honestly, Lily, I'm still unsure of what to do next," he admitted.

It had been a day since I had last spoken to them, and I knew they must be worried sick about me. I turned to Damon, my voice filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension."Damon, I would love to call my parents," I said, my voice tinged with anticipation. "I miss them, and I'm sure they're worried about me."Damon smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Ah, a daddy's girl, aren't you?" he teased, his voice filled with amusement.
