Holly and I Only!!!

"Thanks," he blinked, looking down at it. "Does she drink it or do you rub it on?"

"It's a lotion. It wont make it go away but after a while, it should make it less noticeable." she said.

He nodded. "Thank you, Olivia," he hugged his cousin again. "I should get back to her before she wakes up," he smiled sheepishly and went to his mate.

Olivia smiled and nodded, looking at her uncle. "good night Uncle Damon." She said, hugging him.

Lilli hadn't moved much while he was gone, just turning over so her hand was on the note.

"Goodnight, Olivia," Damon hugged his niece back, smiling.

Ryder gently removed the note from under her hand and threw it away, seeing as it was invalid now. He set the lotion on the sidetable and looked down at Jedi. I'm surprised you aren't angry with me, he told the dog, sitting down on the bed.

The dog seemed to shrugged, licked his hand then jumped off the bed, going to the corner where a bed was set up for him.

Ryder chuckled and watched him lay down before he laid down himself, gently wrapping his arms around Lilli so that it was like he hadn't moved aside from laying down.

Lilli sighed, mumbling his name and leaning against him in her sleep.

"I'm right here, Lilli," he whispered gently, stroking her hair.

"I missed you." she mumbled in her sleep.

"I know," he kissed her forehead. "I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere," he whispered.

She nodded, sighing. "Good."

He smiled softly. "Sleep, now," he whispered softly, stroking her hair.

She nodded. "With you."

He chuckled gently. "With me," he held her close.

She nodded, falling back into her deep sleep, feeling safe in his arms.

He watched her sleep until he fell asleep, himself. He wrapped his mind around hers protectively, as his arms were around her body. Not inside her mind, just hovering outside it like a shield.

Lilli had no dreams that nigh which made her wake up in a happier mood.

Feeling her happy as he woke up, he nuzzled her gently, happy as he was half-asleep.

Lilli smiled, slowly shifting onto her back. "You came back last night."

"I didn't want to feed from you and upset you," he murmured. "Dad and I went out to hunt. And I got some lotion for your scar," he yawned.

"You did?" she asked.

He nodded and reached over to pick it up. "It will make it less noticable."

She nodded. "Your mom says that vampire blood would do the same, but it's never going to go away." she frowned slightly.

He nodded, his face suggesting he was feeling guilty again.
