Demon

chapter 84

I'm noting the dates of the book, they do sort of align with real life but I'm trying to stick to a time line. And I'm truly spoiling you all.

27th/ 28th December

After Clara fell asleep, Damon decided to put her in her bed but for a few minutes he simply kept his arm wrapped around her. He took a moment to be vulnerable and reminded himself she was safe.

When he placed her in bed she was semi conscious and mumbled something about not wanting him to leave.

Damon didn't know what to do, he didn't want her to be afraid but he wasn't in a place where he could casually just get into bed with her like it was nothing.

He hooked up with plenty of women but never spent the night with them. In fact he had never slept in a bed with a woman since Stephanie. He simply had sex and left.

(No we are not including Emilia because she is his sister. Completely different!)

He did consider stopping though because something about Clara made him want to be around her. "Stay" she muttered.
Damon shook his head slightly. "I'm just down the hall if you need me, I can't stay though" he finally whispered.

She wasn't fully awake and he knew Clara would freak out if she woke up to them in the same bed together.

So he made sure the duvet covered her and left the room.

The next morning he wanted to stab whoever was calling him. He was not a morning person and being woken up by someone calling was not something he wanted.

Unfortunately it was his dad meaning he couldn't kill him.

"What do you want" Damon asked.

"I'm about 10 minutes away with a few baked goods for your friend. Now stop being grumpy and get up" his dad said and hung up.

Damon sighed . He hadn't much time but he quickly got himself ready for the day. However 10 minutes wasn't enough to look like the perfect businessman. Not that he cared as he wasn't going to work today.

He wore a plain t-shirt and jeans. His tattoos visible, his hair wasn't styled but he knew it still looked good. If anything it made him look more dangerous. Instead of looking like the put together businessman he looked more like the type of person to be kind to you but ultimately kill you in your sleep.

As he left his room he heard his father knock. He wanted to check on Clara first but didn't want to disturb her so he went and answered the door.

"Sienna sends her best wishes" Alesandro said as he placed a well packaged box on the side table.

"I take it she was there yesterday when we talked"

"Yes. We got a bit carried away. She thinks she's a better baker now too"

"I'm sure Clara and I will be able to judge fairly " Damon said.

"Clara? Isn't she the woman Mason mentioned " Alesandro vaguely mentioned Mason teasing Damon.

"Yes. She's the one who got kidnapped " Damon confided in his father.

"How is she now?" Alesandro asked.

"It's complicated, physically just cuts and bruises but I'm not sure emotionally"

"Is there anything I can do?" Alesandro hadn't met the woman but he could see how much she meant to Damon. Especially considering she was in his apartment right now.

"Actually yes. We know someone paid for her to get kidnapped. I'm going to be looking into it but can you see if any of your contacts know anything " Damon replied knowing his dad had alot of contacts still.
