FOURTEEN

CLARA

I can’t believe I’m crying.

Rein it in, Clara, for God’s sake!

I shake my head when Damon’s eyes bulge. A look of panic crosses his face. “It’s sweet that you want to protect me…” I start, hoping he understands that these are tears of appreciation, not sadness. “I’m just not used to someone wanting to protect me, that’s all.”

Damon tilts his head, his eyes never leaving mine as I wipe the last of the tears from my cheeks. I give him my best smile, and his shoulders visibly relax.

“I promise you, there is nothing to worry about. Nothing will come from those stupid comments. I’ve been getting them since I started.” That doesn’t seem to placate him at all. I can see the rage rising in his eyes, and I take his hand in mine, knowing I need to defuse this as fast as possible.

“I promise I will tell you if I don’t feel safe, okay?” It takes a minute, but a slow smile crosses his face, and then he lifts my hand and brings it to his lips.

The moment his lips touch my knuckles, my body reacts. Heat cascades over every inch of my skin, and tingling feelings travel through my fingers, causing a shiver to run up my spine. I have never had such a visceral reaction to anyone before. Damon’s eyes lock on mine as his tongue darts out and traces patterns over my flesh. My breath hitches as a low chuckle escapes his gorgeous lips.

“Now that’s a fucking beautiful sound,” he mutters, lowering my hand and smiling. I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks, and my eyes lower on instinct.

“You wanna get out of here?” The tone makes it more a statement than a question, but I agree anyway. As Damon gets up, I follow, thanking Mama Jenn for the food. Damon tries to pay, but Mama Jenn refuses, so when she turns her back, he sneaks the money into the old-fashioned tip jar. When she turns back around, she gives him a look, and he winks, then tells her he’ll see her for dinner next week. I wave happily as Damon’s hand grips mine, and he drags me out into the cold.

“Your place or mine?” he growls, pushing me against the SUV, dipping his face into the crook of my neck and kissing me lightly.

“Who said I wanted to go home with you?” I sass as his teeth bite gently into my skin. “Hey!” I say, smacking his chest. The rumble of his laugh courses through me as he kisses away his bite mark, eliciting a deep moan from me.

“You keep making sounds like that, and you won’t have a choice. I’ll just take you right here.” I melt into the car door, loving the way his words coat my skin.

“You like that, Sunshine? The idea of me fucking you against this car where anyone can see?”

I don’t want to admit it, but…fuck, it sounds amazing. I never considered myself an exhibitionist, but right now, the idea of someone watching us sends heat straight to my core.
