As terrifying as I found Damien, I held a sense of strange assurance around him. He’s a demon.. I thought wearily as I walked with him. He seems alright though… I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. His beauty never really ceased to amaze me. He caught me staring and flashed me an amused grin, clearly flattered by my love-struck attitude. “Are you gonna keep staring at me all night?“ he asked as his face bent down closer to mine. “I’ll never get any sleep if you do. “ He smiled then stood back up, his arm locked firmly around mine now. “No, I’m not Mr.… wait. What?“ I tugged gently against his arm to bring him to a stop. Damien sighed and looked back down at me, stopping only for a moment. “Well, I did save your life. And it just so happens this soldier is gonna need a place to bunk for the night.“ Is he actually serious…?” I thought with a smirk. This boy really knew how to play his cards. “Well, Mailin? You’re not gonna thank me for my trouble? “ Damien replied as he tried to hold back a grin. I sighed with irritation. “Alright, alright. Just don’t think anything is going to happen though.“ I frowned. I wanted everything to happen. “Well let’s get going then.“ I looked around to see that we had arrived in my neighborhood, right across the street from my apartment complex. Had I really been to dazed over him not to notice where we were? We walked across the street and into the warm halls of my apartment. After what seemed like miles of stairs, we finally arrived at my front door. I slid the keys out from my back pocket and into the lock, Damien leaning on the doorway and watching me all the while. My hands shook a bit as I felt him watching me, though I didn’t know why. I guess I just liked the attention. I felt heat creep up into my cheeks as I fumbled with the lock and key. “Damn it, stupid door!“ I shouted, sliding the key around in a failed attempt to open it. Damien laughed in amusement as my hands dropped to my sides in frustration. Then I heard a faint click and hear the door creak open. One of his shadows had slid into the key hole then quickly out of it and back to Damien’s side. I heard him chuckle lowly as followed me into the apartment and into the kitchen. I dropped my keys on the counter and opened the fridge, pretending to look for something to eat. My stomach was on spin-cycle, so even if I was hungry, I probably couldn’t keep it down. “Nice place you have here“ Damien called from the living room as he admired my scarlet walls and scattered trinkets. “Thanks” I said before making my way onto the couch and plopping down in exhaustion. God, was I tired. “Hey, isn’t this where I sleep?“ he whispered teasingly, his hand moving to gently nudge my shoulder. “Unless, of course you had something else in mind… “ His golden eyes glimmered playfully as he looked down at me. “Not happenin, bud.” I huffed as I stood up from the couch and marched into my room. “Aww, come one. “ I heard him whine after me. ‘No, Damien. There’s food in the refrigerator if you want any.“ I rushed to my bed and grabbed a pillow and blanket for him, then shoved it onto his lap. He looked up at me, a little astonished and disappointed I would be sleeping alone. “When I get up in the morning I want you gone. Understood?“ “Fine...“ he scowled before one of his shadows turned on the television. “Good.“ I strode back to room and hopped into bed, hardly caring that I was still dressed. Like I would be undressing around him. The silken sheets warmed my body, gently coaxing me until I was asleep.
I tossed and turned all night, a little afraid for the next morning. I didn’t really want him to leave. I found being around him more enjoyable then anything I knew. I sat up in my bed and rubbed the back of my neck. I’ll just go tell him I’m sorry. He can stay as long as he wants… I hoisted my legs over the side and of the bed preparing to stand. Just then I heard the hushed creak of my door break the silence of my room. “God damned cat, I just fed you!!” I shouted, an irritated growl lining my voice. Instead of Felix’s furry head poking through the door, it was that of one of Damien’s many shadows. It curled against the soft carpet until it reached my toes and came to a stop. I stared at it, a little frightened by it’s closeness. It only sat there like a small puppy, whining for attention. “Uh, Damien! One of your um… shadows has gotten loose.“ I shouted to him from my bed. “Has it now?“ I heard a voice whisper from beside me, one that I knew to belong to Damien. My body jumped violently in response to his sudden closeness. “What the hell! Didn--“ I was sudden caught off guard by his sweet, cold lips pressed firmly against mine. “Damien.“ I managed to mutter between kisses, his lips growing more demanding as they strayed towards my neck. “Jesus, get off of me!!“ I nearly shouted as I tried to shove him away. His arms threw me back into the pillows before he climbed on top of me, his hands pinning my wrists on either side of me. He stared at me for a moment, his sun-like gaze locking with mine. “Please, don’t shun me now. I couldn’t stand it if you did.“ He whispered in a saddened tone as he loosened the grip on my wrists. I couldn’t believe it. This had obviously happened to him before. The gold in his eyes slowly faded to a muddy brown as he looked away in shame. And here I was wanting everything from him, but telling him to get away. “I’m sorry…“ I whimpered before taking his face in my hands and placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. I could only imagine how many people hated him for what he was. Damien smiled before leaning down to brush his lips against mine once more. “Thank you.“ he sighed, a single tear falling down his cheek and onto my warm skin. He plopped down next to me on the bed and pulled me on top of him, my thighs straddling his waist. I leaned down to plant a trail of kisses along his neck and down to his collarbone. I planned on giving him everything he wanted.
