He rubbed his nape before stalking off towards the small bar in the room. Kara stood there helplessly. She tried to call his name again but he raised his index finger in the air, indicating her to keep mum.
She gulped hard but did not say anything. There was no one else except them in the room but she felt like someone had made her stand inside a burning fire alone where there was no one to protect her but everyone was standing around staring at her getting burned under the blazing fire to the ashes.
She tried to keep her composer, not trying to show him her weakness but failed miserably as each passing second increased her heartbeat. She could not understand what he was going to do next. He suddenly turned to face her. The fire in his eyes froze her to the spot making her remember what level of his anger he had showed to his family numerous time, that was today being directed at her for the first time.
She gulped hard, refusing to show him how much she was fearing the look he was having in that movement. He was looking her at her with fire in his gaze while trying to soothe the burning sensation with alcohol, but it did nothing but increase it even more.
James was staring at Kara when everything was going on with his family and Damon. He was observing her, trying to not drag her out with himself and say, fuck everything, and disappear somewhere in the world. He wanted her to choose him and not his family on her own. He wanted her to stay with him. But then he saw Damon grabbing her nape, and planting a kiss on her mouth like she belonged to him. He knew what Damon was doing. He knew Damon did not want to loose to him so he showed his claim on Kara and walked out. Taunting him.
How long had it been going on? Was this a first kiss between them? Or was this the hundredth? Kara had not let him get close to her for the past three years while Damon had been there for her all the time.
All the thoughts came crushing down on him like a burning flow of lava. His fury broke at the sight of Damon kissing her in front of his eyes. He dragged her in this room without uttering a word, and she simply followed him. But now that they were alone in the room, he was trying his best to not blast on her so soon but it was not helping. The innocent look on her face was burning him even more.
"Just l- listen to me." she said in a low voice, but it was enough to break his fury. He slammed the glass on the ground with a loud crash and then his arm swiped at the whole counter of alcohol, making all the bottles there to come crashing down on the floor in front of them as he thundered,
"FOR THOUSANDS OF TIMES I HAVE REPEATED THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER, KARA! YOU BELONG WITH ME! How the fuck can you let him KISS you?!"
Kara flinched from the violence, but before she could take a step back on the broken glass, he grabbed her waist, squeezing harshly with enough intention to make her feel the same pain he was feeling in his chest.
"How did that bastard's touch feel on you, Kara? You enjoyed it? Do you want more? Want me to call him back and fuck you in this very bed?" he hissed close to her face dangerously. Kara felt disgusted with his words. She tried to free her arm off his hold while muttering,
"That is not that the case. How can you think like-" she could not even complete her words when he hissed in an ice cold voice,
"Don't I satisfy you enough that you still need to run into some other man's warmth?"
Kara froze in her place hearing the disgusting words out of his mouth. She looked up at him with anger and hurt. She had never thought that he would ever humiliate her like this. Whatever he had done until now, she had endured, but he crossed his line with these words. She had always been loyal to him for YEARS. Since before the time she even knew the meaning of love or crush, he had been there in front of her eyes, and he knew it. He knew she had never betrayed him in any way.
"I can not believe you said this. How could you James? How in the world I believed you again and gave my everything and you are still-"
"Didn't you like him protecting you so closely? Him kissing you? Is this why you don't want to break that damn engagement drama with him? You like how he feels against your skin?"
"James, you are not even trying to listen to anything I want to say. Can you let me explain first?!" Kara was frustrated with his behavior and wanted to explain that what Damon had done, she had never even expected from him. But James had a scornful smirk on his face when he said,
"So you enjoyed everything behind my back. Felt his touch all over you while pretending to be with me all this while? I am amazed that after that loving kiss of yours today you still have something left to explain to me? Kara, how many days has it been since you have been playing this game with him behind my back? Were you sleeping with me just to hide whatever you had going on with Damon? Did you sleep with him even when you were together with me? Did you fuck him when I was not there?"
Kara's hand shot out to slap James, but he grabbed her wrist midway and seethed, "Don't you fucking dare! I am going to rip your fucking heart out before you even think of doing this to me." He threw her wrist aside with a mocking scoff, "I guess it is my fault. I should never have run after you. You are just like all the other girls after all. I should have just fucked you and threw you aside when done. I should never have invested any kind of feelings in you like I don't do for anyone in this fucking world. You also hide things behind this beautiful face of yours just to fuck me over till my fucking heart is bleeding."
