Chapter 255
Talia was lost in a daze caused by Damon’s proximity and the alcohol made her forget that they were in the middle of a crowd with numerous gazes on them.
Everything about Damon was warm and welcoming and enhanced by his addictive scent of the forest and the dark chocolate.
How can a girl not lose herself in the sensual dance that extended beyond moving their limbs?
She could feel his erection pressing low on her belly, and she knew how that was for her because the mate bond made her sense his desire. Or maybe that was her desire.
Talia’s arms moved around Damon’s neck, and she got on her toes. Her lips silently searched for his, to stave off the thirst that only his flavor of the dark chocolate can satisfy.
Damon smiled at the girl who was inching closer with her lips puckered toward his. She was so adorable that he wished to take a picture so that it lasts longer, but he didn’t want to make her wait, so he eagerly closed the last inch of distance between them.
The kiss was slow and sensual, and Talia’s wobbly legs turned into jelly completely.
Luckily, Damon held her firmly, so she didn’t plop down.
A small moan escaped her lips, and Damon swallowed it greedily, the vibrations traveled from his mouth down his throat, and his cock lurched painfully. The arousal was maddening.
Talia frowned in displeasure when Damon broke the kiss.
“We should go home.”, Damon said.
Other than his crazed desire to plunder her insides, Talia’s hands started roaming over his back and he knew that it was only a matter of seconds before she started untucking his shirt. He was eager to remove the pesky clothes that were obstructing full skin-to-skin contact, but not here.
Talia blinked herself into reality and intense blush invaded her cheeks when she realized where they were and that she was making out with Damon for everyone to see. How embarrassing.
But, did they finish their dance?
The Daft Punk song was long over, and another one was playing now. Talia didn’t notice the time passing, but then… no measure of time with Damon was enough as days with him felt like minutes, and hours felt like seconds, and it was never enough.
“Take me home, Damon.”, Talia said dreamily, and Damon suppressed his urge to howl from happiness.
They were going home! And they will have sex! Lots of it!
Damon’s hand snaked around Talia’s waist, and he led the way toward the exit. Damon was pleased that the crowd moved to make way for them so they could leave without obstacles.

As soon as they stepped outside, Damon mind-linked his Betas, ‘Talia and I are heading to the packhouse p>
Maya responded with, ‘It’s good that you asked me to go to the restroom p>
Damon knew this was about Talia, and of course, he was curious. ‘Tell me about it p>
‘One woman allowed Talia to go into the restroom in her stead. On her way out, Talia stopped to thank her, and another one started verbally attacking Talia p>
Damon’s face darkened. ‘Did you deal with her p>
‘No need. Talia did p>
Damon glanced at the little woman who was completely leaning on him while dragging her legs. ‘She did p>
‘Mhm…’, Maya hummed happily. ‘When I got in, the she-wolf was kneeling in front of Talia, totally suppressed by her. Our Luna is awesome p>
Damon’s heart soared. He knew that Talia was awesome. ‘Good, good. Send a gift to the woman who helped Talia. See what she does and give her a promotion if possible. Say that it was from Talia. As for the one who spoke against Talia… send her to the dungeon p>
‘Consider it done.’, Maya responded. ‘Oh, just so you know, the group from the Ligthclaw pack arrived about half an hour ago to the packhouse. They decided to call it a night. Omegas helped them settle and we will see them for breakfast p>
Damon was happy with this arrangement. If they decided to come to the Shifters nightclub, there was a chance that Talia would want to stay behind. Like this, they were definitely going home and it will be just the two of them until morning. Damon was giddy with excitement.
By now, Damon and Talia were in the parking lot, and Damon noticed four guys approaching them swiftly.
Just one glance was enough to confirm that they were up to no good and they were going straight at Damon and Talia.
“Damn it!”, Damon cursed under his breath. He was so consumed with the news about Talia that he neglected to pay attention to their surroundings.
Damon wouldn’t drop his guard if they were not in his territory. There were soldiers everywhere and he just needed to send a word and they would swarm the place within seconds.
But maybe there was no need to cause a ruckus. He didn’t want to risk spoiling Talia’s mood.
Damon’s steps slowed down to a crawl, and he nudged Talia to stand behind him.
“Can I help you?”, Damon asked the four guys. Damon could tell they were human, but that didn’t mean they didn’t have weapons on them.
Damon quickly glanced at their hands, and he relaxed slightly when he saw they were empty. For now.
If they wanted to fight, they would probably underestimate him because he is just one guy. Damon told himself not to jump to conclusions. Maybe they just wanted to talk.
But considering angry glares directed at him, Damon guessed that those four didn’t stop him to ask about the directions.
“You can get on your knees and apologize, and we might consider not breaking your legs.”, one of the four guys spoke. It seemed he was the leader.
Damon’s eyebrows shoot up. “Apologize? For what p>
“Maybe you are the boss of this place, but on this parking lot is just us, no bodyguards.”, the leader-guy continued talking.
When Damon punched Cory, these four wanted to intervene, but some guys from the crowd held them back, saying how Damon owns the place and they shouldn’t cross him. So, these four decided to keep an eye on Damon and wait for their chance to get revenge.
They saw Damon leaving and were quick to follow after him and Talia, knowing that the parking lot was almost deserted, other than some couples who were busy within their vehicles.
Another guy decided to add more information. “You hit Cory when he was picking up that girl p>
Damon realized how ‘that girl’ was Talia and that Cory is the guy who passed out after one punch from Damon.
Talia peeked from behind Damon, and then she stepped to stand next to him.
Damon knew that Talia didn’t want to hide behind him, but this was not the time to be brave. He tugged her arm to make her go back, but she shook his hand away stubbornly.
Talia looked at the man who spoke last. Her vision was blurry from alcohol, so she squinted while trying to focus, making it look like she was glaring at the guy.
“He was picking me up?”, Talia asked with a slur. “Cory had no chance and if he listened to a word I said, he would know that and stop pestering me p>
Damon stifled a chuckle at the sight of his kitten who was hissing at the enemies. Can she be more adorable?
The four guys were not in the mood to chit-chat. They heard that Damon owns the place, which means that if any other people come to the parking lot, they will probably side with Damon, and they will be at disadvantage.
“Even if he was pestering you, those were just words. Did he deserve to be sent to a hospital?”, the leader-guy said before turning to Damon. “You heard me. On your knees p>
Damon sneered. “Make me p>
Four guys stared at Damon incredulously for a few long seconds, and then the leader-guy shouted, “Get him p>
Damon pulled Talia behind him, and she stumbled backward only to see Damon getting surrounded.
‘BAM! POW! SLAM! BAM p>
In less than a second, the four guys bounced backward as they met Damon’s punches and kicks.
One guy managed to graze Damon’s chin before falling on his butt unceremoniously.
The other three stumbled but kept their balance.
The leader-guy wiped the corner of his busted lip with the back of his palm and gestured toward Talia. “Stan! Get her p>
Damon didn’t know which one was Stan, but he knew that meant three guys will keep Damon busy while the fourth one goes after Talia. “Coward! Four on one and you need a hostage p>
How can he let them get close to Talia?
But there was no way they will get her because they needed to go through Damon first. Right?
Damon glanced behind him, and he paused. Where the heck was Talia?
Before Damon could ascertain Talia’s position three guys were dashing toward him.
Damon punched one, kicked another one, and the third one ducked and threw himself at Damon, hugging Damon around the waist.
Damon gritted his teeth when he realized that the third one had no intention to fight. He only wanted to hold Damon while the fourth guy gets his hands on Talia.
In an effort to shake the guy off him, Damon elbowed him in the head and looked around in time to see Talia and the fourth guy dashing toward each other.
Damon would admire Talia’s courage if he was not scared witless. What the hell was she doing?
