"What?" I breathed out as my eyes widened slightly. My lips were parted in shock and confusion, unable to speak.

"The thought of spending time with you fills me with excitement and nervousness. I'm anxious for what the future holds not just with Cole and the town but... with you. The thought of you leaving after all of this-" Damon confessed as I took a step back trying to absorb his words.

"I don't want you to leave us once you're done helping us. Leave me. You make me a better person, Luna. I used to be cold and closed off to everyone. I've told you more about my life and my past than I have to anyone. Every morning when I wake up next to you, I am excited for what the day brings. No matter if it's good or bad as long as I have you by my side." Damon poured his heart out to me. His voice soft and his eyes worried never before being so vulnerable with me.

Pulling my brows together as I studied him. Damon kept direct eye contact with me the whole time.

"I have never felt this way about anyone before and it scares the hell out of me, but I needed to get it off my chest. I needed to tell you how I really feel about you." Damon breathed with worried features as I hung onto every word. I never once looked away from his deep blue eyes that were filled with so much emotion.

"I don't expect you to feel the same way towards me. Our families and ancestors are enemies and I-I know you say I shouldn't feel accountable for what they have done but I still do. The thought of me having to hurt you just because you are a witch or anyone hurting you makes me-" Damon confessed looking away, cutting himself off.

"So, I don't expect you to feel the same way towards me but I just- I had to tell you." Damon rambled nervously looking down at me for any hint of a reaction. Taking one quick stride towards him engulfing him in a passionate kiss.

He was surprised by my action but kissed me back creating a warm tingling sensation on my lips. My hands roamed his chest before they went behind his neck bringing him closer to deepen the kiss.

My mind went blank as butterflies erupted in my stomach. I tangled my fingers through his soft black hair as he kissed me back roughly full of adoration making me smile against his lips.

"I love you too." I replied breathless against his lips. "You do?" Damon asked quickly, full of confusion. I smiled up at him high off of the feelings he gives me.

"Yes, I do. I feel the same way towards you, Damon. I will never be upset with you for what your parents or ancestors have done. You are innocent in my eyes and nothing will ever change that." I began honestly looking deep into his eyes. Our bodies pressed together our hearts beating as one.

"I know it has only been a month and I-I don't know why I feel this deeply towards you but I.. I do." I confessed hesitantly never before pouring my heart out like this to anyone else before. "I have never felt this way about anyone." I confessed as I placed my palm against his face.

He just smiled as he looked down at my lips that felt like they were on fire before he kissed me again. All that went through my mind was the remembrance of our first kiss right outside this room in the hallway. And how amazing his lips felt against mine ever since our first moment together. I could feel all of his emotions at this moment as he kissed me passionately full of love and desire.

Damon's arms were roaming on my back. I found the edge of his shirt placing my palms against his muscular torso. He took off his tee shirt in one swift move. Taking off mine before I started fumbling with his pants as we continued to kiss passionately.

Standing in front of him in my underwear made me fill with anticipation. Damon kissed me roughly as I wrapped my legs around him. His hands gripped my thighs as he walked towards the bed. Pins and needles erupted where our skin met before he dropped me on the bed. Damon took his belt and jeans off before getting on the bed hovering over me. He began kissing my neck, making me arch my back for him. Damon's hand made their way down my waist filling me with suspense for what he is going to do. Gripping his shoulders and the headboard, arching  my back as he kissed along my jawline.
