Chapter: 7

The most breathtakingly beautiful smile spread across his face at my answer, making my breath hitch. He cupped my head bringing it to his chest as he kissed the top of it. We stayed this way for a while, me curled into his chest and him with his chin rested on top of my head, as he stroked my hair in a soothing manner.

Why do I feel so comfortable and safe with this intimidating stranger? There must be something wrong with me. How can I feel like this in only a short period of time. From the second I saw him. This can't be normal,my parents would be ashamed with how easily I've fallen into this mans arms.

This was abruptly stopped once a growl rips through Damon, sending I frightened shiver down my spine. It sounded like a warning but I new that it wasn't directed towards me. I looked over my shoulder to see Devon standing in a defensive stance with a look that could killed, all directed towards the man the held my as if I was a glass doll.

"Get your hands off of her Damon ." Devon sneers in a voice I have never herd before now.
To my surprise Damon calmly stood up and gently set my on the ground so that I was standing on my own two feet, I instantly wanted him to pick me back up into his warm, and strong embrace.
He then walked up to Devon and wrapped his hand around his throat, gripping it tightly.
I gasped and covered my mouth in shock, terrified that Damon would hurt him.
He then bent down to level with Devon's ear and growled something I couldn't understand.

Devon's pov:
5 minutes ago

I watched in disgust as that thing put it hands on my sweet Ariana. I was already upset about her having to meet him, but it was necessary for her to meet him, given the circumstances. I just never expected him to get so friendly with her. I had vowed at a young age to always protect her and keep her happy, and at the moment I am letting her down.

My eyes finally meet with his as I send him a threatening glare, which he meets back with a growl, which startles my sweet little ari. As she turns around to see me, my eyes immediately soften. I never wanted her to see me like this.

"Get your hands off of her Damon" I spat out angrily.
I watched as he gently placed Ariana on her feet and stalked towards me.
His hand found itself tightly wound around my throat. My hands immediately shot up to my throat to loosen his hold ever so slightly, but his grip refused to move even the slightest. I watch as he bends down to growl near my ear, so only I would hear.

"I will touch what is mine! And there is absolutely nothing you can do, so if I were you I would walk away. The only reason that I haven't killed you yet is because she cares for you." he growled at me.

Finally he released me and I fell to my hands and knees gasping for air, my lounges desperate for the oxygen that they had been starved of.

I won't fail you Ariana. I vowed to myself. I promise I will keep you safe, sweet princess.

Hi there I really hope you like the book so far.

Here's a random poem:

Refuse to look me in the eyes,
Although there were never spoken goodbyes,
I get that vibe all the time.
Catching you laughing
Is the joke on me?
Is my heart the punch line?
Because I can't breath.

-okay bye now :)
