Hellhound: Arise from the ashes

Chapter 6: The Talk

Azara's POV

So it's been a few days and I think I'm finally ready have The Talk with Damon. I have been even more awkward lately and kept some distance between us. I can't think straight with him close to me all the time. But I think it's finally time. I'll tell him tonight.

Damon had to leave early this morning to do some important work so I was home alone. I Decided that I should try and cook something delicious for us to eat when he comes back. Keyword "try" I went on YouTube and got some recipes and started making them. The first few was a disaster but I later got the hang of it,at least I think so. There were less messes for me to clean so that counts as something right?

Evening came and the food was prepared and set on the table. I heard the front door open and I instantly knew it was him. I stood near the table and waited for him. When he walked into the room our eyes locked almost immediately.

"Heyy." He says then taking in the scene.

"What's all this?" He takes of his suit jacket and puts his briefcase down.

"Umm I made us dinner... To say sorry for the way I've been acting lately." I signal him to come sit down. I dished up for him and waited for him to start eating. He takes a bite and his eyes go wide.

"How is it?"

"Ummm, it's good. Very good." His voice sounded strained.

"Really." My eyes lit up.

"Yeahhh." He started eating even faster. If his doing that it must be good right. I took my fork to start digging in but he took my plate and started eating the food from there.

"Heyyy!" I whined.

"Sorry baby it's just too good. Did you all this for me?"

"Yeah and I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Ohk let's go talk in the living room."

"You can go freshen up and I'll find you in the living room after cleaning this up." He takes his suit jacket and suitcase and makes his way upstairs. I take another plate from the cabinet and dish up for myself since I haven't eaten the whole day. I take a bite and immediately spit it out. It was all wrong everything tasted weird. I couldn't understand why did Damon say it good and ate all of it including my food.

-Obviously silly he tasted your food. Also found out what a horrible cook you are but ate it anyway to not hurt your feelings.- Bianca says in a duh tone. She could've said that nicer.

I picked up the phone and called his favorite pizza place and ordered his favorite pizzas. I feel bad he had to eat this. And I'm out of this world embarrassed he had to eat that. By the time I'm done Damon makes his way down and into the kitchen making us some drinks.

We sit on the sofa in the living room room in silence. Damon decides to break the silence.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No-no you didn't do anything. Why would you think that." I take a sip of my drink.

"Well you've been kind of avoiding me like a plague for the past few days." He looks hurt. Now I feel guilty about what I did but I did needed to clear my mind so that I can make my the right decision.

"I know I shouldn't have but I needed time to make a decision."

"What decision?"

"I want to give you chance."

"Really." His eyes lit up.

"But there's a piece of me that is hesitant to doing so... I have fears not only that involve you, there's a chance that I will have to leave-"

"Your not going anywhere!" I can see that his wolf is starting to surface.

"Damon just listen to me. There's a reason I I have been moving so much they might find me and they wouldn't stop till I'm dead."

"Who are they?" He asks but I just keep quiet staring at my hands.

"Answer me Azara!" He grabs a hold of my face forcing me to look at him. Still don't answer him. I wasn't prepared for this.

"Azara answer me. I can protect you from whoever they are." A tear left my eye I didn't want to tell him now but it was going to happen sooner or later might as well tell him now. I wipe the tears in my eyes and take a deep breath.

"My pack."

"What that doesn't make any sense why would they do that?"

"I don't know. They killed my parents when they didn't want to hand me over to them." I then told him the whole story from the beginning till the time I escaped. While telling him I got interrupted by the food arriving. At the end I was yet again a sobbing mess but it was better this time because I had with me. Holding me. Comforting me.

"Austin called me a demon hound and said I shouldn't have been born. The uncle who took care of me like a daughter said that. At that time I couldn't understand, I still don't." I look at him in the eye.

"I can't let them hurt any of you. I have to go."

"Your not going anywhere Azara, I can protect you. What would be the use of being the Alpha of the largest pack in the world if I can't even protect my Luna." he cups my cheeks in his large hands. "I will protect you baby. No more running. Let them come I will kill every single one of them. They will suffer for every tear you shed, every nightmare you had for the past nine years." We stayed in each other's arms for a while before my tummy rumbling snapped us out of our trans like state.

"I see someone is hungry." Damon mocks.

"Hey don't you make fun of me. Aren't you the one who ate my food." We walked into the kitchen and I don't see pizza but Mexican food. I'm pretty sure I ordered pizza. The doorbell rang and I took it.

"Sorry your pizza took so long mam but there was traffic due to an accident on the road."

"Its OK how much do I owe."

"It's on the house."

"Well in that case. Here. A tip for your troubles." I took out a 100 dollar bill and gave it to him. What, I feel generous. Plus he probably needs it more then I do.

"Ohh no it's too much I can't expect it it's too much." The teenager says.

"No really take it. You stayed in traffic just to deliver it to me. You deserve a reward. Keep up the good work."

"Thank you very much."

He left and I went back to the kitchen saw two plates with my favorite Mexican food.

"Did you order this." He nods. "Why?"

"I ate your food remember so I ordered this for you. Why did you order the pizza?" I look at the box in my hand.

"I ordered it to say sorry for making you eat my horrible food."

"What no!" He gasped. "Your food is not horrible. It was delicious."

"Stop lying I tasted it when you went to freshen up."

"Wouldn't call it horrible. It was unique."

"Whatever." We sat down and our food. A little bit of both and just talked no more being friends just two mates having dinner.

"Why did you eat the food when it was that horrible."

"Well first of all the food was not horrible. And secondly you made it for me and I can see you worked hard and put everything into making it. Which I appreciate."

"That was cheesy. But sweet.... And you have to teach me how to cook." I more demanded then asked.

"Wel of course but what do I get in return." He gives me one of his sexy smirks and scoots closer to me. All of a sudden I felt shy. Was he going to kiss me?

"I can think of a few things you can do." He comes closer to me till is face is right in front of mine lips not even inches apart. My heart was pumping fast. I started putting some distance between our faces. "Come closer baby girl I want to tell you something in your mouth." That sounds so dirty but it's got me going crazy with thoughts of how it would feel. The sudden I blurted out.

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KISS!" and shut my eyes too embarrassed by my confession.

"What? " He asked dumbfounded.

"I've never kissed someone before." I whisper, my eyes still shut.

"Zara look at me." His breath fanned my likes so I knew he was close once again. I slowly opened my eyes and our eyes connect. It was like all my worries was flushed down the drain.

He smirks once again. "I can teach, OK?" I don't trust my voice so I just nod. He comes closer to my lips. Just follow my lead. He put his lips on mine. They're so soft. He start moving them and I tried doing the same. This is so embarrassing, he has so much experience and me, I have zero. But I do try my best hopefully that's enough.

I start running out of air but I don't want to break the kiss. My hands traveled behind his neck pulling him closer. He runs his tongue on my bottom lip. I don't know what that means so I just carry on as we were doing.

I felt him squeeze my butt and gasped he took this opportunity to enter his tongue in my mouth. And it felt so good. He broke the kiss when we were out of air and I was in a dreamlike state.

"Are you sure you have never kissed someone before?" I just look at him in a haze and nod. "Do you wanna do it again." I nod again. And I feel his lips crash on mine. The kiss was less gentle this time but more passionate. My hands traveled into his hair. I couldn't help the dirty sounds coming from my mouth.

After a heated makeout session we decided to call it a night. I went up to my room and couldn't stop smiling.

I can't believe that just happened. I still keep touching my lips it feels amazing. I took a shower still thinking about the kiss. It was amazing it made me feel alive in some way I wanted more. I fell asleep with a smile on my face I wonder how tomorrow will go.

"Good morning beautiful." The sound of his morning voice woke up an unfamiliar feeling down there. The first thing I saw this morning is Damon's face. And I must say he looks hotter then I remember.

"Morning." I sat up and saw how beautiful decorated the room was with rose petals and there was breakfast on the nightstand.

"What is all this?" A huge smile made its way on my face.

"Well this my darling mate is a thank you for giving this mate of your a chance to redeem himself." I said and came closer to give me a kiss but I stopped him in time putting my had in front oof his mouth. He raised an eyebrow.

"Morning breath." made my way to stand up but he pulled me down.

"I already brushed my teeth." He went for the kiss but I stopped him once again.

"I know but I haven't. So wait." I pushed him onto the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair.

"Are you done yet? " He asks I look through the door to see him laying like a starfire on my bed.

"Yeah I'm coming."

"That's what she said."

I frown my eyebrows and stand next to the bed. He sits up and places his legs on both sides of me. "Who is she exactly?" Ever since I agreed to give him a chance I've become more possessive over him.

He pulls me so that I am straddling him.

"'She' is you in a few days. When I decide to claim and worship this sexy little body of yours." He says moving his lips over mine then going down towards my neck laying butterfly kisses on it. Then he move to my ear. "Over." He lays on sloppy kiss on my neck. "And over." he kisses on my sweet spot. And I let out a dirty sound. "And over until you can't walk." He nibbles my earlobe. What his doing and the way he talks, his voice. They all start to ignite a very familiar flam in my lower half that couldn't be easily extinguished.

The day was long and Damon had to go to work again but the few days after that was really good. We had occasionally teased and had times were we would flirted alot with each other.
