Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 209

Sienna:

I could still feel his eyes on me.

Even when he didn’t say a word, even when I tried to convince myself that everything was calm again, just for tonight, I knew Damon was watching me like he was waiting for something to break.

I knew that he was willing me to let go of my pain. I knew that he wanted me to talk to him. But after everything that we’ve been through, I promised myself that tonight I did not want to give in.

I refused to allow anything to break tonight.

I stood by the window of our room, the moonlight pooling at my feet, and the soft rustle of the curtains brushing against my skin. Behind me, I heard the low click of the bathroom door opening, followed by quiet footsteps.

“Are you going to keep watching me from across the room?” I asked softly without turning around. “You haven’t said a word since the two of us entered the room.”

Damon’s voice was just above a whisper, low and warm. “Maybe. You look… still. And you haven’t been speaking either.” Still. Not calm. Not peaceful. Just still.

I finally turned around, leaning against the windowsill. He stood shirtless, only a pair of black sweatpants hanging low on his hips. The light caught the sharp line of his jaw, the heat in his dark eyes as he studied me. And despite everything, despite the hell surrounding us, I felt safe.

“You’ve been quiet today, I know that you are doing your best to stay calm, but I can see it in your eyes. I can see the quietness in your gaze.” he said, walking toward me slowly, his bare feet soundless on the hardwood floor. “You didn’t even argue when I asked you to rest. He didn’t even try to tell me that you didn’t need to rest.”

“You were right. Arguing was not going to do me any good.” I murmured. “Even I need a break sometimes.”

He stopped in front of me; his fingers brushed a strand of hair away from my face. I leaned into his touch, allowing myself to give into him. “Are you okay?”

“No,” I admitted. “But I will be. One way or the other, eventually I’m going to be alright.”

His hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling me gently forward until our foreheads touched. His breath was warm, his scent already wrapping around me like a blanket. His voice was barely audible when he spoke again.

“I guess sometimes I find myself overworking myself, overthinking as well. But I know that it is these gentle moments that keep me standing.” I whispered.

“I’m always going to be there by your side. I don’t want you to forget that, Sienna.” He said, and I smiled.

My chest tightened, a small breath leaving my lips as I tilted my head and kissed him.

It started slow, unrushed, like we had all the time in the world. I knew that we didn’t, but I wanted to give in to him. I wanted to allow my body to give in to pleasure. To love that pleasure. To love the moments that we had together, to avoid all the anger and all the pain. Because I knew that this war was brewing and it was only a matter of time before everything just turned in a way that I knew would never be the same.

He rested his forehead against mine. And I felt him grinding himself against me. I whimpered before he pushed himself inside of me. Her strokes and thrusts gentle and loving. He wasn’t rushed. His thrusts took their time, making me feel every inch of him. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him close. Raising my hips to meet his thrusts.

We moved together in perfect rhythm, his hands gripping my hips, his mouth never far from mine. I felt everything, every stroke, every breath, every whispered word. And when I came apart beneath him, trembling and moaning his name, he followed seconds later, burying his face in my neck as we rode the waves together.

Afterward, he didn’t move.

He stayed wrapped around me, one hand tangled in my hair, the other resting over the curve of my waist.

“I love you,” I whispered, lips brushing his shoulder.

His arms tightened around me, and I could swear that he held his breath for a moment too long before he kissed my neck, trailing up to my ear.

“I love you too.” He whispered. “I love you so fucking much…”
