“Damon?” Sarah’s excited smile blossomed brighter than before as she watched Damon who was now fully shifted in front of her. Her amazed eyes swallowed every bit of his appearance… his fur that was as black as night, his eyes that were of a beautiful golden colour and his long, heavy limbs that looked ten times more stronger than in human form. Sarah could do nothing but stare at him from head to toe, then from toe to head. It was the first time she had seen a werewolf shift so clearly and you could say she was more than impressed.
The wolf hoisted its head somewhat cockily as if howling, his beautiful fur flowing with the whooshing wind that escaped through the open windows. With itching fingers and a heart filled with nothing but excitement, Sarah crawled off the bed and made her way towards him on the top of her toes. It was Damon so she was indeed wary of touching the ticking time bomb, but nonetheless, her feet moved onwards despite her worries. She was eager to use this golden opportunity to explore his whole body with her hands and nothing could stop her at this point.
“You’re so cute.” She complimented without thinking much about the grumpy person whom her words were directed at. Damon turned his head away at the sound of her voice, something that seemed to be a bored look forming on his face. He was already changed, yet Sarah understood his expressions so well. Wolves were indeed as impressive as she thought.
“I meant handsome.” She laughed, speeding up her pace as her wariness faded along with each step. Damon blatantly ignored her rectification and looked down at her feet then back up at her repeatedly. In response, his eyes seemed to narrow into a glare, giving her a look that said CAUTION. Sarah knew exactly what he was insinuating: ‘Come any closer and you’ll be in deep trouble’.
But Sarah paid that no mind. Damon wouldn’t hurt her. She was so sure of it now that even if his glare looked as deadly as a oncoming meteor, she’d stay put. She was already used to his bluffing by now.
When she stopped in front of him, her eyes were clouded over with sparkles. “Is it okay to touch you?” She whispered, yet she had no intention of even waiting for a response. By the time her full sentence left her lips, her palm was already sitting atop his head, patting and petting his fur in the most gentlest of ways.
Damon however, was certainly not pleased by her course of action…. or you could say he was half-pleased and half-annoyed. Petting him meant he’d purr like every other stupid wild animal around… And then, purring meant complete disgrace. He tried his best to hold back the dreadful sound that was threatening to escape him, but when her fingers scratched beneath his ear, he could do nothing but release it. As soon as he realized his drastic mistake, his golden eyes widened in shame and he instantly tipped his head back, his feet moving in a way that gave Sarah the idea that he was going to slip through her fingers and run off.
But she wouldn’t have that. Tipping up unto her toes slightly, she locked her arm around the humongous wolf’s neck and swiftly pulled him down to her level, a victorious grin stretching from ear to ear when Damon groaned but didn’t try to break out of her hold. “Stay still, will you? You’re so cranky.”
After a few silent seconds, she stretched her free arm up to run her fingers through his hair once again, but as she did so, the sound of bones cracking filled the air. It was pretty easy for her to gather that if his bones had cracked when he was shifting to his wolf-form then the same would happen when he was shifting back to human. She immediately frowned, her fingers gripping and yanking the fur on his head that was beginning to return to normal. And soon enough, she found herself latching unto the hair atop his head rather than his fur.
“Seriously? Damon!” She screamed in frustration, her fingers releasing its hold on his hair and her feet stomping childishly against the tiled floor.
“Seriously, Sarah!” He mocked, rolling his eyes as he looked down at her. “You shouldn’t have touched me when I told you not to.”
“You’re just embarrassed because you purred like a kitten.”
Damon stiffened. The lack of reaction from her had given him the idea that she hadn’t heard him, but unfortunately, it seemed that he was wrong.
“I did not purr.”
“You did.”
“I didn’t.”
“You did.”
“I said I didn’t!”
“I said you did.”
“Stop it, Sarah.”
“Stop it, Damon.”
“I’m serious.”
“Who cares if you’re serious?!” Giving him one last glare, Sarah turned around and walked off towards the door.
“Where are you going?” Damon asked lazily, scratching the back of his head. When she didn’t answer, he took three long strides forward and grabbed her by the arm.
She shrugged. “Jason’s in your office, right? I bet he’d be happy to shift for more than two seconds… unlike a certain someone.”
Damon’s face distorted into one of annoyance again. “He’s gone… and even if he was still here, he wouldn’t dare to shift in your presence. You’re only allowed to see me naked, no one else.”
Sarah took in his words… one after another. Naked? She was so irritated by his behaviour that she was not even aware of that fact until he boldly announced it. She twisted her head around warily, hoping and praying that it wasn’t as she thought. But unfortunately it was just that. His clothes had been ripped from his body during his shift and now he was standing there with nothing on, absolutely nothing. Everything from his head down to his toes were bare, even that huge private part of his that she did her best not to stare at for too long. But her best was not good enough and she found herself staring at it for much longer than planned, long enough for Damon to notice.
“I see you’re finally silent… it looks like whenever I want you to behave I’ll have to give your eyes a taste.”
“W-what?” Sarah quickly snapped her neck in the other direction, her best ridiculous look on her face. “I wasn’t staring at…” She gulped thickly and pointed at his lower region without turning her eyes to him. “… that. I was looking at the beauty mark you have on your thigh.”
“I don’t have a single beauty mark on my thighs.” He answered almost immediately. “You’re pretty bad at lying, Sarah.” He grinned, eyes staring down at her in amusement. He still found it a mystery how things like this could always make her shift to innocent mode… whether she’s drunk, angry or whatever.
“D-Don’t you h-have things to d-do in your o-office?” She grated her teeth together, her fingers clenching in embarrassment.
“Not anymore.” And with that, he pulled her by the arm, causing her to twirl inward into his chest. Her cheek connected with his bare skin and the heat of his body immediately disrupted the colour of her cheeks, turning it into a bright red colour. “Since the situation is already like this…” He continued, his hand releasing her arm so he could reach up and brush her hair out of her face before he raised her chin. “… why don’t we do something fun? I’ve been waiting for far too long, don’t you think?”
Sarah tried to level her chin as well as her heavy breathing when she voiced her next response. “I’m n-not sure what y-you mean.”
“I’m sure you do.” He smirked, catching her eyes so she could clearly see when his gaze slowly dragged down her body then back up, stopping at her pink lips that quaked slightly from nervousness. “So Sarah…” His fingers released her chin and crawled down her body, landing on her hips. His eyes that were glued to her lips never moved for a second until he made the move to sink into her warmth. His breath played with her lips mercilessly and the warmth radiating from him slapped against her in a sensuous way, but he never connected their lips together. His body stayed dormant just an inch away from hers.
Sarah’s fingers twitched. She was itching to circle her hands around his neck then pull him down so their lips could connect and as such, her hands felt heavily awkward by her side.
“Can I touch you?” He pulled her closer to him by the waist, landing her flush against his body. He made sure she could feel the layout of his body against hers as well as the protrusion between his thighs. “If you say no, I’ll back of-” he didn’t get to finish his sentence because Sarah’s soft, hesitant lips had already connected with his.
To Sarah, it felt like forever…. forever since they had done anything so intimate, forever since he had touched her. This chance… should not… no would not pass her by. The fear of seeming desperate didn’t cross her mind this time around, besides, he was the one who initiated this. He was the desperate one if you asked her.
The kiss wasn’t exactly passionate, soft and sweet. Both of them were hungry for eachother so of course they couldn’t be satisfied with simply innocent kisses. The length of time they’ve been spending apart was not common between mates. So now, every restraints that they had been forging were now tumbling down to the ground… and every emotion that they had bottled up inside had now broken free. Right now, they were both hungry creatures that were hunting for nothing but pleasure.
