And I will take your fears
And make them disappear
- Mine by Halestorm

By some kind of miracle, Damian arrived the same night. 
He made us stop pacing around the apartment and sit down on the couch and proceeded to make dinner before joining us there.
There had been no questions asked when Demi made her emergency call to him but now that everything had quieted down a little he deserved an explanation.
Listening to Demi recount what happened I realized that there was an essential part of this story that I hadn't asked about.
"If Guadalupe was murdered in cold blood, how come the police didn't get involved?" I thought out loud.
"They did" Damian responded 
"But all they had to go off of were the blurry photos taken at the bar. There was never any identification made and eventually the case went cold."
My face went just as cold.
"So basically what you are saying is that I am currently the only person who could give this family at least a little bit of peace by reporting that I know who it is? I'm the only witness? Although I guess in this case I'm more of an accomplice" I concluded bitterly.
"Do not even start talking like that!" Demi intervened. 
"You were 20 years old, you were basically still a scared child"
"Actually back then I was still 19" I added as if that made it better in any way.
"If you go to the police then you are setting yourself up to be arrested as well. I'm not letting you do that, it was not your fault" The Australian argued.
"Girls" Damians voice was calm and clear. 
"This is not a topic for tonight. You've had a long day, we can talk about this tomorrow. Let's go to bed for now. Do you mind if I stay on your couch Demi, I didn't book a hotel" he said sheepishly.
"Actually why don't you stay in the guest bedroom, I'm sleeping with Demi anyway" I replied without thinking, causing Damian to let out a knowing chuckle and my face to go bright red.
He disappeared into the guest bedroom and Demi and I in hers.
As we were laying in the dark not long after, I noticed that she couldn't sleep as well.
I turned to face her and trailed my fingertips down her arm, lost in thought. She turned around to me as well, looking into my eyes for a long moment.
"Would you mind if I kissed you right now?" her question came as a surprise to me but of course, I shook my head.
She leaned in slowly, her lips touching mine, only grazing them at first but then with more intent. Her hand softly wrapped around my jaw as she brought my face into a more accessible position. 
When her tongue lightly licked over my lower lip, asking for entrance, I let out a small whimper.
Demi immediately pulled back, worry flashing over her face.
"I'm sorry, was that too much?" I shook my head.
"Demi... I know that you wanted to talk first and that this is still kind of an emotional moment but... if you want this too... I kind of need you right now" my rambling barely made sense to me but she seemed to understand it.
"Alexandria," she said softly "this, right now, is perfect. I feel like you are able to openly communicate with me, you are not trying to make me angry to get what you want. If you feel like it I would be happy to go on"She didn't lean back in, waiting for my response. 
I just put my hands on her shoulders to pull myself closer, kissing her again.
This kiss was deeper and more passionate than the first one. We were getting more confident, playful.
I had inched so close to her that I was almost on top of her and she grabbed me by the hips and pulled me up gently, leaving me straddling her.
All I could do for a moment was look at her. Her face in the faint light coming from the street lanterns outside, her perfectly smooth skin in the little pajama top she was wearing. Everything about her was absolutely divine. 
Shortly after, she decided I had had my moment to stare and sat up, grabbing my ass tightly so I would stay in position. Then she proceeded to take off her top, then mine.
I kissed her again, pressing my body as close to hers as I could, skin melting into skin. Her hands were roaming over my body, scratching lightly and leaving me in chills. 
Demi broke the kiss to explore my neck with her mouth, nibbling and sucking lightly, delighted to see how I was reacting to it. Getting bolder, she started to bite more intently, it was the most mesmerizing feeling I had ever felt, especially combined with the stark contrast of her soft hands. 
I knew that she was leaving marks but that only made it more exhilarating. The noises I was making seemed to encourage her not to hold back, she was now holding my head in place with her hands while continuing to bite down my collarbones and chest, making me go crazy with desire.
My orgasm came as a surprise to both of us, I was still straddling her lap, shuddering and moaning her name through it as she gently held me, still sucking on my neck.
When I had come back down from it she took my shoulders and pushed me back a little so she could look at me.
"So that's how it is, huh?" She asked with an amused grin. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, I buried my face in her neck, but she was having none of it.
Instead she turned us around in one swift motion so that I was now lying on my back underneath her, Demi hovering over me.
"That" she whispered, her lips so close to my ear that they were touching it "was the single most sexy thing I have ever seen in my life"
