Chapter 15: Damon Hayes' POV

Song: I found - Amber Run

I watched Beatrice Madden walk away from me, her skin on show and her long legs accentuated by her tight jeans and boots. She was the most divine woman I have ever laid my eyes on. She walked into the school out of my vision and I let out a deep sigh. Kylee was still talking, walking too close to me and all I wanted to do was to get her out of my sight. ‘‘Why don't you email what dates you are available? I can schedule you in later this week.’’ I said to Kylee. She looked at me with big eyes and her shirt tucked down way too low. ‘‘But I would really like to talk with you.’’ She responded to me, almost putting her hand on my arm. I rolled my eyes at how she said 'talk' and stopped her walking. ‘‘Get to class. Email me.’’ I said and walked away from her.

I went to my office, a certain girl stuck in my head and I felt myself getting hard thinking about Friday. F*ck, I can't believe Kenna interrupted us. I thought about the way her ass was grinding on me and her head on my chest. Exactly where she belonged. My mate, my one true love. She was perfect in every way. Mates were very rare for our kind and once we found them, we tend to never let them go again. We were possessive, dominant bastards like that. If it was up to me, no man would ever touch her ever again. Not even in a friendly way. She was mine and mine alone. That f*ckhead Logan slept in her bed last night. If I had access to her house, he wouldn't have a head anymore. I had to hold myself back just now, even seeing his face made me go red with rage.

I can't believe I opened the door on my first working day to the class and there she sat. With her big eyes, looking right at me. My world turned upside down, the axis having changed and I had a different reason to live now. This beautiful creature, having no clue how important she already was to me. I smelt her and almost ran right over to bite her neck and take her away. I could tell she was feeling nervous and I smiled as I studied her face, the first smile I cracked in years. It was the first time in a long time I got any happy hormones and it felt so good. And she was the reason for them. I had been smiling a lot more since then.

I almost lost my cool when Logan touched her in class that first day, touching what was mine. I thought back about f*cking Javier touching her, putting an arm around her when he wasn't even wearing a t-shirt. Then he brought up his 'excitement' for Friday and I really lost my cool and jumped up to slam some bricks down from the school building. I got her and Kenna out of the way on time and I hoped that he would be unconscious. The thing was, I didn't want to scare her off. She had no idea about my world. If she denied me, there was no second chance. I might as well end my own life if that happened. I had to play this smart.

I sniffed my shirt, where I rubbed it against her bare arm minutes ago. She had an addictive smell, if I could bottle it up I would be sniffing it every single minute and spray it all over my bed. What I would do to get her into my bed right now. Moaning my name and have her at my mercy. I would kiss every single inch of her skin, taking my sweet time. Touching her hip in the club already got me hard, don't get me started when I was finally able to get my arms around her. She drove me absolutely nuts. My girl. When I get the chance, I'm going to rock her world and make her orgasm like never before.

I smiled again. I had had lots of women over the past years, which meant absolutely nothing to me now. But at least I had enough practice to put into action, seeing what made my girl go crazy. If she would let me.

The fact I was her teacher didn't help with her trusting me. If it was not for me having to lie low low, I would have already done something about that. I had to live on these stolen moments now. For now, it was barely enough. My fingers itched every time I was close to her, I just wanted to touch her and keep her safe. Maybe it was a good thing as well, I could keep an eye on her at school and spend more secret time with her. Hiding the fact that she was my mate was also easier this way, people would notice if I was suddenly walking around in a university and spending time with her. They would want to hurt her to get to me. People had no idea where I was and I was adamant to keep it that way.

Rage filled me though, thinking about the explosion in her mom's restaurant. When Tris ran into that burning building, I thought I lost her. I have never been as panicked as I was at that moment. I could not lose her. When I ran back in after saving her mom, she was just lying there on the floor. Not moving and burning. Despair filled me and I could not think straight.

I ran out, lashing out at everybody who dared come close to her. I had to heal her, which was against our code, but I did it. We were under no circumstances allowed to heal humans. But for her, I would burn down the world. I had healed her mom. I visited her mom every night, healing her bit by bit. I couldn't heal head trauma but the burns and physical damage were no problem for me. She once almost woke up and I think she even cracked open an eye, looking right at me. That was the last time I had visited her and the day after she had woken up.

My phone rang, waking me up from my thoughts. I sighed. ‘‘What?’’ I half shouted at Keddrick ‘‘Boss. Sorry to call you. Do you have a minute?’’ Keddrick said. I sighed, letting him continue. ‘‘There is an event next month. They're hosting a grand gala. He will be there.’’ Keddrick explained. I sat up straighter, my interest piqued. A grand gala. The perfect place to finally kill the f*cker and take back what he took from me a long time ago. ‘‘We will be there.’’ I replied and almost hung up the phone. ‘‘Boss.’’ Keddrick said quickly. ‘‘You need to bring a human. Preferably more.’’ He added. F*ck sake, of course we had to. ‘‘Yes, fine. I'll bring 10 if I have to.’’ I replied and really hung up the phone.

Someone knocked on the door and Melissa walked in with a way too short skirt. ‘‘Hi Damon. Can I talk to you for a sec?’’ I groaned internally. ‘‘Of course, come in.’’ I said instead. She sat down opposite of me, her skirt riding up and almost showing her v*gina. ‘‘What can I do for you?’’ I asked her. ‘‘I don't feel so good. I'm thinking of going home. Do you think you can drive me? I don't have my car with me, Elisa drove me.’’ She said, opening her legs a little. Definitely not going to happen. ‘‘Don't you have to teach your class in a bit?’’ I said, thinking about Beatrice. ‘‘Yeah but they don't mind, they can have the rest of the day off. It's a group project so I'm sure they will figure it out.’’ Melissa said, coming forward.

Then, suddenly, an idea came to me. ‘‘I will call you a taxi. I need to find a replacement for you, we can't just let the students have the rest of the day off and missing important lessons.’’ I said to her. Her face fell a bit. ‘‘Okay, well, if you insist I can do my class. Maybe we can meet after?’’ She asked me. ‘‘No, if you don't feel good, you should go home. I have an idea who can take over.’’ I said and called her a taxi. With my mate completely taking over my mind, I stood up and walked right out of my office with purposeful strides.
