The Comments Shipped Him with Her, but He Loved Me Chapter 07

Before long, Damon returned to the back hill. He ran toward me beaming, scooped me up, tossed

me in the air, and caught me-like I was some kind of toy.

“Miss, I’ve got powers now!”

“I can protect you forever!”

“Stop throwing me–I’m getting dizzy.” Could he please have mercy on someone without powers? I

was spinning.

Damon set me down awkwardly, grinning sheepishly.

“Sorry, Miss. I’m just too excited.”

“Oh, and I forgot to mention-my power is lightning.”

He reached out and lightly touched my arm.

Instantly, a tiny current pulsed from his palm into my body.

Ah…

Tingling…

Numbing…

“Damon…”

My voice came out weak, almost breathy.

“Sorry, Miss-are you okay? I just wanted you to feel what I can do.”

“Are you alright?”

I shook my head.

I felt like I was about to pass out.

My legs were like jelly.

Damon scooped me up in his arms, apologizing as he carried me back to my room.

After Damon and Fiona awakened their powers, no zombie dared come near our base.

When they went out for supplies, they swept through everything without breaking a sweat.

Our stockpile grew richer by the day.

Two weeks passed like that.

I was back to a life of comfort-eating well, wanting for nothing.

It was getting a little boring, honestly.

I kept wondering when that storage-room scene the comments mentioned would happen.

The comments hadn’t given a specific time, so I started hanging around the storage area.

Fiona had been out scavenging every day-I barely saw her anymore.

She seemed hooked on hunting: up at dawn, out the gate, back after dark.

I’d told her plenty of times that we had enough supplies and she could take a break. But she always

shook her head.

“Miss, I can’t just mooch off you here. I have to pull my weight! And I remember you wanted

strawberries-I’ll bring some back for you!” With that, she was off again.

Sighing, I wandered into the storage room to check our inventory.

The once-empty shelves were now fully stocked-not just food and clothes, but entertainment

items too.

My eyes landed on a row of romance novels on the top shelf.

Oh my god!

How come no one told me about these?

I tiptoed and reached up, but the shelf was way too high.

I grabbed a small stool and tried again.

Still just out of reach.

Just as I stretched as far as I could, the stool wobbled.

“Ah!”

I shrieked.

But instead of hitting the floor, I was caught-wrapped tight in Damon’s arms.

And his hand had landed on my…

The earlier comments flashed through my mind.

The female lead reaching for something, almost falling, the male lead catching her, his hand landing in the wrong place…

Then they lock eyes…

And then…

I looked up at him, flustered.

Our eyes met.

His gaze burned with fierce desire.

Was this… it?

“Miss, want to try something with my power?”

“Huh?”

“Like… how?”

My voice came out hoarse, my mind blank but buzzing with faint anticipation.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Damon lifted me off the stool and pressed me against the shelf.

Wow.

So this was what they meant by ‘lightning action.’
