He felt Isolt's elbow against his side but it only made him chuckle under his breath as she told him not to be a jerk. His gaze turned toward her, eyes twinkling with mischief. "But why? It's in my nature. Plus, you secretly find it sexy." His lips curled into an arrogant smirk even as he said it, his brow lifting as if daring her to disagree. But as she lowered herself to the chair, he was right there for her to lean against, their fingers entwining as they waited for her name to be called. Damon's gaze swept to the tiny girl who started giggling and holding out her arms as if expecting him to sweep her up. He heard Isolt's soft voice whispering against his neck and he smiled, his gaze softening. "She'll have to get in line. I already have a number one and I don't share." He said with a teasing wink. Next thing he knew, Isolt's name was called and he tensed up in the chair, looking at the woman in the white coat. Isolt called her by name, Renee, getting up to greet the doctor with a hug. Damon took her outstretched hand, giving her a firm but friendly handshake though the nerves probably showed in his gaze. As Isolt introduced them, he smiled and nodded. "A pleasure to meet you, Renee." He said in his most charming tone. He followed the women into the exam room, suddenly feeling very out of place. His hands found his pockets as Isolt sat on the exam table. He stood protectively beside her, not wanting to be too far away lest she need him. As the woman put gel on her stomach, he lifted a brow, having never seen this done before. Isolt's hand reached for his and he smiled, his face melting as he gently took her hand in his and brought it to his lips, brushing a kiss across her knuckles as his eyes found hers in reassurance. |
