“I knew it would look gorgeous on you.”
I flinched, spinning on my feet to find Damon behind me, leaning against the door with a heated look in his eyes.

“You look beautiful.” He pressed a kiss to my bare neck. The feeling of his lips on my skin made me go weak in the knees almost instantly. It was hard to believe this was happening. We’d been enemies for so long, but now I could feel myself falling hard for him.

“Who said I was seducing you?” Damon smirked back, leaning forward to kiss me. It was soft and slow and sweet and something that I could get lost in. I could easily allow myself to be swept away into his kiss but I knew better.

“Sorry.” I whispered when we broke apart. “But I’m hungry, and we’ve got a dinner to go to.”
Damon sighed, finally relenting though I could see the regret in his eyes. as he let go of me. I brushed the wrinkles he’d made out of my dress, smoothing it down.
“Ready for hell, then, dear?” he said, sarcastically, offering his arm to me with a sly grin.
