Lily took a deep breath as she stepped into the elegant restaurant, her heart pounding in her chest. She had dressed to impress, hoping to make a statement and assert her independence. The gold high slit gown hugged her curves, accentuating her figure, while the silver heels added a touch of sophistication. Her hair was styled in a way that showcased her natural beauty, with French braids cascading into loose curls framing her face.
As she made her way to the table, she noticed Damon standing there, his eyes fixed on her. For a moment, he seemed to forget how to breathe, his gaze locked on her as if she were the only person in the room. Lily couldn't help but notice the effect she had on him, but she remained unaware of the impact she had made.Damon quickly regained his composure, his expression returning to its usual cold and distant demeanor.

After all, I hadn't fully revealed my secret agent life to her yet.As I watched her from across the room, a million thoughts raced through my mind. How could I let her know about my dangerous life without scaring her away? Should I wait for the right moment or should I just come clean? These questions plagued my mind, but for now, I decided to keep it low and enjoy our time together.Lily suddenly looked up at me, a playful smile on her lips.

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.

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

(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.
