She had waited the whole day for James but he had once again proved her right but not appearing. He always did that. He gave her hope and then snatched it again. It was kind of his thing. She did not know what pleasure it gave him to break her trust again and again but it hurt like a bitch every time he did that and she fell for his talks over and over again.
Kara knocked on the door of Damon's room. She was feeling a bit scared because if by some miracle James came home and did not find her here, he is going to lose his shit. His anger scared her the most. But this time her fear from his anger got overpowered but by her own fury for betrayal towards her. The day had already passed. There was no way in hell he was going to get to ruin her birthday.
Damon's door flipped open, showing a six feet high man with blue eyes standing in front of her with nothing on his body except for boxers and a loose tank.
"Put some God damn clothes on!" She growled while pushing him aside and entering his room with a huff.
Damon's whole room was a mess. As much Damon was a clean freak, just as much Damon was a mess freak. There was not even a day when she had not seen his room full of utter mess even when his room got cleaned daily.
"You do realize that if it were any other girl in your place she would have died swooning over me, right?" Damon chuckled and plopped down beside her on bed.
"Weeweeawaweee..." Kara mimicked his tone with unintelligible words, making him burst out in laughter.
Grabbing her thighs he pulled her legs towards him until he managed to put his head on her lap. Kara pushed at him with annoyed voices but in front of his strength her own was literally nothing.
Once Damon managed to settle his head in her lap he turned his face up to look at her and asked,
"What do you want? Stumbled in the wrong room, princess?"
Kara narrowed her eyes at him, "I know which room I am in, bitch."
"Ohhh... really?" Damon teased while sliding his hand in her waist and tickling her with the tips of his finger lightly.
Kara let out a frustrated groan while pushing at his hand, "Let's go to the church."
Damon, who was focused on making Kara's life as much of a hell as possible till the second she was in his room stopped immediately, "What? Now?"
"Yes."
Damon raised up his head and looked out the window and then at the wall clock in the room before taking his gaze back to Kara, "Princess, you do realize that it is seven in the evening, not morning, right?"
Kara's glare intensified.
"Aw... fuck. Alright!" Damon groaned in annoyance while pushing his face in her tummy, "Can I go in this attire only?" his words came out a muffled.
"You can come naked for all I care." Kara mumbled and threw him off her lap, making him stumble and fall down on the ground with a loud groan.
"You are a bitch sometimes." he mumbled, rubbing his almost broken ass.
"Stole some traits from you." she mumbled while standing up and glaring down at him until he stood up from the ground on his own.
"Let's go." she ordered and walked out of the room hearing the sound of Damon rushing to grab his essentials.
Fuck James.
*****
Stepping out of the BMW, Kara sighed in happiness as the coldness of the dark, silent jungle hit her naked arms.
The darkness had covered the sky. Gnarled trees hung low over the baronial church, creaking ominously in the howling winds. The heavy oak doors, that were kind of broke fell open, echoing around the empty church. The moonlight shone through the heavily cracked stained-glass windows, casting an eerie glow onto the dusty alter.
She felt Damon coming to stand beside her while staring at the church. It was not anything special, but since she had found the church in her teenage, it had kind of become a ritual for her to come here on her birthday. Or when she felt gloomy and depressed. This place was her salvation, it held her calmness.
~~~Past~~~
Kara fell down on the ground hard. She had not expected James to push her so brutally. Pursing her lips she supressed the cry of pain that tried to leave her lips.
Her accusing and angry gaze snapped to James, glaring at him as tears threatened to fall out of her eyes.
Managing to put all her weight on the uninjured leg she held onto the railing and stood up from the ground.
She did not look at him after that. His behavior was not acceptable to her. Shooting a fleeting side glance at him she started to stumble towards her own room silently. Her stomach was in knots.
She had just taken two steps when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her in the opposite direction.
"Come with me." James hissed and pulled her towards his room.
Kara tried to snatch her arm furiously but he did not let her. He pulled her towards his room until they both were in and he had locked the door from inside.
Kara stayed standing, folding her arms over her chest and not sparing James a glance.
"Why did you come?" James asked, ignoring her, "Not injured enough yet? Want to get killed?"
Kara's angry eyes immediately shot him an offended look. Seething once again she tried to pass by him and walk out the door, but he blocker her path.
"Tell me!" he glared.
"I don't want to tell now." Kara gritted, trying to dodge him and get to the door but her injured leg and James were perfectly able to block her path.
"I am sorry." James spat out the words when she did not stop.
She heard Damon give a loud curse right before a snap sounded behind them."What the hell?!" Damon cursed, stepping in front of Kara as he looked around the jungle, searching for the threat, "Have you seen anyone else come here, Kara.""I told you to wait for me, didn't I?" Kara flipped around as James voice rung around the empty jungle from behind her.She found him standing with his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw clenched tightly as his glare pinned Kara in her spot in shock while her heart thudded hard in fear. His anger was as apparent as a bright, shining day."What areyoudoing here?!" Damon exclaimed, staring at James in shock."None of your god damn business!" James did not spare a glance in Damon's direction. His eyes glaring at Kara, "Get out of here." James snapped at Damon."Why should I?" Damon asked arrogantly, "You get out of here. No one invited you anyway.""Actually," James' gaze swung
James' anger was out of his control. He tried to keep it down but the things that were roaming inside his head were vengeful and disgusting. All he wanted in those moments was the assurance that Kara was understanding why he was so angry, that she knew what she had done wrong.He had gotten busy with work. But at the same time he wanted to make this birthday special for Kara since this was going to be the last time he is at home for her birthday.He dragged her inside the dusty church, brought her forward harshly before letting her wrist go.
There are times in a person's life when they feel the most happy. This was the moment that Kara had been waiting for her whole life. Since the moment she had come to know what attraction meant, what interest and desire and love meant, there had been just one person, one man in front of her eyes and that had always been James. She never thought that she would ever want someone as she wanted James. She never dated anyone, never tried to even attempt getting into a relationship because she always knew to whom she belonged. There had never been any doubt in her head.And as James lips moved over hers, his lips sliding against her soft ones, his fingers slipping from her waist to her breasts, squeezing the softness and then pressing the mounds, earning a low moan from her mouth right before her hands slipped into the back of his head, caressing and pulling at his unruly hair, this was the end for her. The feeling was like e
There were times when James felt insecure seeing Kara with anyone else than him. Sharing her was never he enjoyed, be it was with her girl friends or with her family. He wanted her to be with him all the time, need him like he needed her, the desperate need he felt was unquenchable and he wanted her to feel the same. Kara showed that she wanted him, but he always wondered if she craved him just as desperately as he craved her?James mouth had started to descend down on Kara's when Kara's phone started ringing loudly. James' face dropped in Kara's throat in exasperation as a small giggle left her lips.
3 Years laterKara climbed out of the car while adjusting the dress she was wearing. Everything was the same as when she had left the place. Just as pretty as it was back then. The peach petals greeted her way when she slowly lifted her gaze to stare at the empty, hollow house. It did not look like home anymore. Even though it looked just the same as it did three years ago, the warmth that she had in her heart for this place had melted away.
As soon as their eyes met, shock covered his face, and Kara stumbled back on her step. She was not ready to see him. Not now, not ever. There had been feeling inside her heart that she was not ready to face yet and seeing him so suddenly just made them worse.So the next thing she did was turn around, find the nearest door, and walk out of the house. Her head was bursting with the thoughts of what she was supposed to say or do but there was no answer. She found herself in the backyard of the grand house that was covered with trees.
James stood frozen at the door step. He had heard the words his mother had said. His heart almost stopped, his fist clenching tight.He was never told that there was going to be an engagement, leave alone the engagement of his brother and Kara! And then he suddenly realized, it was just the same as all those years of childhood. Everyone had declared him the evil of the house without understanding the reason for his behavior.
A small smile slipped up on Kara's lips as her hand covered Damon's. After the chaos that had covered her heart when she had been in James's room, Damon's touch just brought a feeling of calm to her. It did not make her heart pound like James's touch did, but then it did not bring any pain either."I am happy that you are finally back for good." Damon bent his head down and left a small kiss on the bare skin on the corner of her neck.During the past years they had grown a lot more closer than they had ever been in the past. He had started caring for her more, seeing his future in her. They had never crossed the line of closeness begween their bodies, but they had grown closer emotionally. In the past three years, he had flown to meet her without telling anyone in the family whenever he could get a chance. At first it was just to check up on her and see if she was okay, but then later it had turned into a strange craving that could not get f
