Hybrid by Blood

Chapter 6 Right or Left

    I woke up in a soft bed. I looked around and this is the room where Ryder and I are sleeping. I looked over to my left and noticed I was the only one in bed. I sat up and threw my legs over the side of the bed. I pulled my phone from the nightstand and noticed I got a text message from last night. I unlocked my phone to read: "I wanted to tell you good morning as Grey gave me your number, ~Love Damon," 

    I smiled softly and texted back, "Thank you. I really appreciate it." I put my phone down and stood up. I went over to the bathroom and stripped off my clothes. I turned on the water and stepped in. The warm water washed down my body. I washed my hair and body quickly, but after that, I stood under the water as it slipped down. I tilted my face to the side and enjoyed the water. I hadn't noticed Ryder had come in until the eucalyptus smell hit my nose and I felt lips on my neck. I closed my eye as his arms wrapped around my waist and his kisses became little nibbles. He pulled away and started washing his body and hair. Once he was done he got out. I got out as well and went to wrap a towel around myself, but I was stopped. He pushed me up against a wall and had his face inches from mine. A deep growl came from his throat. 

    "You're mine," He seethed. He was angry and it was about last night when I ran and found Damon. He moved his face to my neck and bit down hard. Instead of pain, ecstasy flushed through me. I knew he could tell because he held me up against the wall with his body. His lips smashed against mine. His right hand gripped my side and his left held my right leg. I knew he left bruises in those areas because of how hard he was gripping. He kissed down my neck and sucked on that part until he left a hickey. He did the same to my jaw bone and collar bone. He stepped away and pulled me towards him. He kissed me hard once more and walked out of the bathroom. He left the door open and I slowly walked out. Our little event left me weak in the knees. I walked over to my suitcase to find it empty. I looked at him and he pointed to the dresser. I walked over to it and pulled out underwear and a bra. I put on the bra, but struggled to put on the underwear. He chuckled and I finally got on the underwear. I looked at him and playfully scowled. 

    He went over to the dresser and pulled out jeans and a white t-shirt. He grabbed the jeans and slid them up my legs. He buttoned and zipped them up. He handed me the shirt and I put it on. "Now where were we?" He playfully asked as he pinned me to the bed. He wrapped one arm around my waist lifting it up to his body. He kissed my neck softly. 

    Soon he got off and smiled at me. His smile then turned into a frown. "He's here to pick you up," He said. He walked over to the dresser and threw on a shirt. His jeans hugged his waist perfectly. I got up and went to walk over to him, but he was already right in front of me. He put his hand behind my head and kissed me passionately. "I will fight for you," He vowed. I smiled and nodded. He kissed me softly once more before grabbing my hand and walking out of the room. We went down some flights of stairs ad eventually reached the first floor. He walked into the living room and stood in front of me. "You better take care of her," He said. I peeked from behind Ryder. "I wouldn't let anything happen to her," He declared.  Ryder stepped to my side. I looked at Damon and he smiled. I walked up to him and hugged him. He hugged back and we pulled away. He looked confused for a second. He gently tilted my head to the side. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Ryder smirk. I looked back at Damon and he leaned his head and got close to my ear. "I could so much worse in better places," He whispered. My face heated up and Ryder growled. 

    Damon chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me towards the door. "Bye Ryder," I said. I waved bye to everyone else. Ryder came up next to me and kissed me passionately. He then pulled away and smiled slyly. I smiled and shook my head. Damon led me outside. He pulled me up on his back. "Hang on," He chuckled. I held onto him as he started to run. 

    Within minutes we were at his house. However, with a normal run or walk it'd take hours. "No one is home they are all out hunting for the day," He said. "So we have the house to ourselves!" I beamed. He nodded and set me down. He grabbed my hand and led me inside. "I know your full wolf, but I have fallen in love with you ever since you were still a hybrid. I know it seems creepy, but I used to watch you walk outside at night and enjoy the moonlight. I want to go up to you and talk, but Ashleigh told me that I had to wait until the right time. I didn't know the right time would be when you were already fallen in love with someone else," He said. It took me a moment to process what he said. I looked at him and stared into his eyes. He seemed like a statue. He didn't move his eyes from mine. 

    I was unsure of what to say. I didn't want to disappoint him because of being silent or my next response. "I know that was a lot to take in you don't need to say anything and I figured it would be a topic you wouldn't be able to respond to it," He said. The next thing that came out of his mouth shocked me. 

    "I want you to choose me..."
