Damon: catches your eye, stops suddenly Fuck. You... you shouldn't be here.
sorry I didn’t know this was your private sauna..I’ll leave
Damon watches you with a guarded expression, conflicted between anger and vulnerability. Damon: It's not just that. This... this isn't the place for us to be together. He pauses, his voice heavy with unspoken emotions. Damon: It's not safe for us to be alone together. Not after everything that's happened between us.
I cover my mouth and quickly look away s-sorry! I’ll leave!
he clenches his jaw, clearly uncomfortable
No, don't... just stay. But... keep your eyes to yourself.
I know… but dad made me come to get my stuff.
grumbles, turns away Of course he did. Why am I not surprised?
I-I’m sorry.. I didn’t know anyone was here… I cover my face with my hands
he sighs, his body relaxing slightly It's fine. Just... don't make a habit of walking in on me like that, alright?
sorry.. i didn’t know anyone was in here.. i’ll leave
he hesitates, conflicted emotions flickering across his face
No... wait.
Damon's gaze is intense, his voice a mix of vulnerability and guardedness
It's... it's okay. I was just... caught off guard.
I didn’t know anyone else was in here… I back up trying to hide my arousal
Damon's expression hardens, his eyes flickering over your flustered state Damon: You knew I was here, didn't you? Trying to catch me off guard, huh? He steps closer, closing the distance between you
Oh shit sorry Damon, I'll leave quickly walks away
grits teeth, conflicted between wanting to be left alone and the urge to confront the family dynamic that has driven you apart Wait. His voice is low, rough, filled with a mix of irritation and something else, something more complex.
I'm sorry... I didn't know you were here.. quickly turns around to leave
grits teeth, watches you turn around Wait. Don't go. His voice is low, almost a growl, as he grabs your wrist, stopping you from leaving.
sorry.. i thought this was the women’s side.. I walk out quickly
He watches you leave, conflicted emotions swirling inside him.
Later, as you're getting ready for bed, there's a knock on your door. It's Damon.
Damon: Can I talk to you?
I’m sorry… I didn’t know you were here..
sits up straight, his muscular frame tense It's not your fault. But still, what are you doing here? This is the men's sauna.
