Chapter 49: How very romantic

"Probably." The witch replied and Alexander wasn’t content with her reply.

He wasn’t going to bet Damon’s life on a ’probably’

"How do I find this wizard?" Alexander asked, his voice iced and unwavering as the temperature in the room dropped a few inches from his aura.

His visible blood thirst made the witch cautiously put some distance between them.

"He lives somewhere in the black forest." The witch replied and Damon swallowed in discomfort.

The dark forest was home to most of the realm’s dangerous creatures and he couldn’t let Alexander go in there alone.

"Alex, you cannot go into the black forest." Damon voiced his thoughts and Alexander slowly turned to face him.

"I cannot...I will not lose you. Especially not if I know that there is a way I could save you. I would go to hell for you Damon." Alexander’s words were serious and resolved and Damon felt his eyes burn up with tears.

"How very romantic." The witch batted in and they both glared at her, silently asking her to keep her mouth shut.

"I will go with you." Damon whispered weakly since he knew that there was no way he was going to talk Alexander into staying.

"No, I can’t risk that. You are not at your peak health right now. Damon, please let me do this." Alexander pleaded, his eyes burning with various emotions.

Every fiber in Damon ’s fiber was telling him to say no to this dangerous mission Alexander wanted to go on but one look into his expressive emerald green eyes made him see something heartbreaking.

He saw pain.

Alexander could blame himself for not having been able to do something to save him and Damon realized with a gnawing intensity that this wasn’t just about him.

Alexander felt like he NEEDED to do this and Damon wasn’t selfish enough to deny him that.

"Alright. You can do what you want." Damon tried to master up the energy to offer a supportive smile but he failed miserably as hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Hey, I promise I will find a way to break your curse." Alexander’s voice was a soft breath as he wrapped his arms around Damon and hugged him tightly.

Damon let his tears fall freely as he buried his face in Alexander’s warm chest.

How had they come to this?

His mind pondered the thought as sadness settled in his heart.

He did not want Alexander to go into a dangerous forest that could potentially kill him but now that he was going, Damon was going to have to accept it even though it was going to be hard.

They left the witch’s hut shortly afterwards, each immersed in their own thoughts as they walked back home.

Once they arrived, Aya was quick to drag both of them into the kitchen once they entered the house and Damon tried his best to appear half as lively as she was.

"Can we bake bread? I promised I would teach Damon." She told Alexander who glanced at his pocket watch. It was midday.

"Alright. We will have it for lunch. Can I join too?" Alexander requested, not eager to leave Damon’s side for a second.

"Yes." Aya smiled as she dutifully organized the utensils they were going to use.

Once they started making the dough for the bread, Damon soon found his makeshift apron lightly dusted with flour even though he had tried to keep it clean.

"Here, let’s complete the look." Alexader grinned as he placed his dusty fingers on Damon’s cheeks, cupping them.

Damon was surprised by the intimate action in front of Aya and his blush deepened as he realized that there was flour on his face.

Alexander prepared himself to run as he caught the mischievous sparkle in Damon’s eyes.

"Don’t even think about it" Damon grinned because he planned on returning the favor but Alexander dashed away from him, prompting him to chase after him.

"You are going to be very sorry once I get my hands on you." Damon playfully threatened and the naughty part of Alexander wanted to surrender and let himself get caught.

Aya smiled secretly in amusement as she watched them head out of the kitchen.

They had totally forgotten about the bread that she now putting in the oven but she didn’t really mind.

She had never seen her elder brother so happy and positively mischievous and she was enjoying it.

It was quite clear that her brother really liked Damon and that he made him happier.

"I have caught you." Damon purred victoriously as they tumbled into an empty room.

"What if I wanted you to catch me?" Alexander asked, his voice deep and seductive as he closed the door behind them.

Damon’s cheeks turned a deep shade of crimson as heat spread throughout his body.

"You have become so naughty." Damon chuckled and Alexander let a lazy and pleased smile adorn his lips as he stepped closer to him.

"I learnt from the best." He winked at him and Damon ’s lips titled in a pleased smirk.

"I still plan on smearing you with flour." He blurted out as he raised his dusted hands and Alexander stepped even closer.

"You can smear it all over my body if that’s what you want." He breathed as his hands wrapped around his waist, tugging Damon closer to his body.

Damon’s hands landed on his broad chest, lightly covering his black shirt with white flour as his heart raced from being in Alexander’s arms.

His hands had already started slow sweet caresses all over his body and Damon buried his face in Alexander’s shoulder, muffling a moan.

"Alex...?" Damon whispered, his voice quite breathless from the teasing rhythm of their hips that were rubbing against each other.

"Yes, love." Alexander replied as his hand reached for his bottom, grabbing one cheek in a possessive grip.

Damon gasped from both surprise and pleasure.

"What if your mom or Aya walks in?" He asked, inwardly impressed with how he could still find his tongue in such close proximity to a walking temptation.

Alexander’s hands stilled as he considered Damon’s words.

"I could lock the door." He broke into a charming smile and Damon’s heart melted.

"Alexander!!!" Damon shrieked when he was carried off the ground.
