Saved By The One & Only

Surprise

Amy's POV:

"I've got this Natalia." Claire says to the store clerk, who's quite small, mousy and she simply moves away at the request; clearly not wanting to create a problem with Claire.

"Damon, are we shipping these to your home? Would you like me to personally have them delivered within the hour?" She smiles sweetly at him.

Her conniving smile does not go unnoticed by me and it makes me want to slap that smile right off of her fucking face.

"That won't be necessary Claire. These books will be going to Amelia's apartment. Here's her address and do make sure it is delivered within the hour." His tone comes off short and clipped as he hands her a piece of paper.

He almost seems impatient with her, which causes me to fight back a small smile. Until the realization comes crashing down to me.

"Mr. Ander-." He turns to look at me which causes me to fix myself. "Damon, please. You don't have to do this. I thought this was for you. There's close to 150 books on that cart, if not more." I'm facing him as I'm pleading him with my eyes not do this.

I shift on one foot to the other uncomfortably partly because Claire is watching us, as we have this conversation.

"Consider this one of your birthday gifts..." he pauses before leaning in close enough towards my left ear, close enough to where his lips are only millimeters away from brushing against my ear. "Your last gift of the night will be in your bedroom."

My body shudders as he pulls away with a wicked smirk on his face as he turns to face Claire, once more.

Clearly I am too stunned to speak or move after his comment until Claire speaks again.

"$3,987.52 is your total." Claire's tone snaps me back to reality, her anger evident by the tightness in her jaw.

She looks like if she clicks her jaw any harder she may just snap a tooth or two.

He grabs his wallet and pulls out a black card causing me to almost drop my jaw, but refrain from doing so considering that it would be impolite to stare.

"Thank you." Is all I can manage at the moment because my heart is pounding so hard and there's a ringing in my ear that I can hardly hear anything.

What surprise is he talking about? Does he expect us to have sex?!

I mean should I? He has done so much for me.

SNAP OUT OF IT AMY!!!! Everything he did, he did off of his own volition.

Although I wouldn't mind just giving in just this one time.

How bad can it be?!

What surprise is he even talking about?

"Ready?" His voice brings me back to reality and as if he were just reading my mind his eyes darken and his smile slowly starts to disappear.

Like a predator who's only just begun the game of hunting down his prey.

Except this time I'm the prey he's after.

And I don't know...

I truly don't know if I'll be running in the opposite direction or directly towards him.

God help me.
