Chapter 201: Why Did You Bite Me?

Aubrey put her phone down, closed her book, and walked out of the room.

Later, Aubrey stood on the porch, looking out at the greenery in the yard. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the horizon. Twilight was settling over the world. The sky looked like it had cracked open, spilling the gold and orange of the sunset across the clouds.

The sharp screech of brakes echoed from the front driveway.

Aubrey knew Damon was back. She could tell how fast he’d been driving just by the sound of that stop.

She turned and headed out, taking a shortcut through the courtyard to find Damon.

Damon was doing the same. They met halfway on a winding path.

He had been moving fast, his strides long and urgent. The second he saw her, he stopped dead. His chest heaved as he fought for breath. In the failing twilight, his eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless lake.

He slowly unclenched his fists, though his body was still rigid. He pressed his lips together, then started toward her again, his steps steady and firm this

time.

Aubrey stood there in silence, her eyes fixed on him. The thin black jacket he wore emphasized his tall, straight frame. In the fading twilight, his sharp features looked even more defined, almost chiseled. He walked toward her, his long legs moving with a heavy, deliberate pace. Every step felt heavy. Moving closer, his voice dropped–deep, magnetic, and heavy. It sounded like every word was a struggle, like he was pouring his entire soul into them. Aubrey was dazed. The money I Venmoed you… it was-”

Before she could finish, Damon cut her off, his panic rising. “Just because of what my father said? Because he hurt you, you’re ready to throw us away? You’re done with me?”

‘It’s not about your dad.” Aubrey could tell Damon’s thoughts were spiraling, and his panic was starting to make her feel scattered, too. I just wanted to pay you back. That’s it.”

“You already have all my money. Why would you send me $300,000?”

“What?” Aubrey was even more lost now. She had all his money? She didn’t remember that at all. Where would she have even put it?

Damon lowered his head and covered his face, letting out a long, heavy sigh of frustration. He dropped his hand, stepped toward her, and hauled her into his arms.

Aubrey stiffened. She was frozen.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Her heart hammered against her ribs. Pressed against his solid chest, she could feel the frantic rhythm of his own heartbeat. His familiar, clean scent filled her senses, wrapping around her.

Her face flushed hot. Her entire body went stiff in his arms.

His arms were like iron, crushing her against him. One large hand cradled the back of her head, his jaw resting firmly against her hair. A low, hoarse voice drifted down, thick with desperation. “Don’t go. Just give me a little more time.”

“Damon…” Aubrey choked out, struggling to breathe. She shoved against his chest. “Let go of me. I‘

The more she pushed, the more he panicked. He tightened his grip, holding her with a fierce, obsessive strength, as if he wanted to fuse her into hos vary soul so she could never escape.

“Don’t go, Aubrey,” he rasped, his voice barely a whisper.

“I’m not going anywhere! Are you trying to crush me to death?” she snapped, shoving at him again in frustration

But he didn’t seem to hear her. To him, her words were nothing but excuses. He was lost in his own grief, refusing to believe a single word she said. He kept her pinned against him, his eyes squeezed shut as he pressed his lips to her hair. His voice broke, thick with a sob. “Aubrey.. please. Please don’t go.

Don’t leave me…”

Every word he spoke, every desperate plea, cut right through Aubrey. It hurt. It hurt in a way she couldn’t explain.

She wasn’t leaving. Damon had it all wrong. But hearing him like this made her chest ache. That crushing feeling of being torn apart–it was all too familiar, and it was suffocating.

She couldn’t push him off. He was like a wall of solid muscle. Frustrated and unable to move, she turned her head, pressed her face against his chest, and sank her teeth into him right through his thin shirt.
