A/N - I know with my other stories still unfinished the last thing I need to do is start another, but this popped into my mind.


December 2012 –Bennett Residence

Stefan watches Bonnie move around her bedroom from his position in the tree outside of her window. It had been a long day for all of them. He had just gotten done talking to Rebekah and after deciding against sleeping with her, he left. Since he didn't really have the urge to go back to the boardinghouse and see his brother and ex-girlfriend all over each other, he decided to check on Bonnie instead, knowing that she's been dealing with a lot lately.

Bonnie jumps when she hears a knock at her bedroom window. She is surprised to see Stefan sitting in a tree staring at her. She had been planning on going to bed since she was exhausted after dealing with Shane as well as learning expression. Curious about the reason for his unexpected and unusual visit, she quickly rushes over the window and lifts it open.

"Stefan, what are you doing here?" She remembers Caroline mentioning that he was dealing with his breakup with Elena by conspiring with Rebekah so it is a surprise to see him.

"It's about the cure. Can I come in?" He says despite that not being the actual reason he came over. He cares about the cure, but it had not been the reason he came to see her tonight. However, he has a feeling she wouldn't believe the actual reason anyway.

"What's with the unusual entrance?" She asks instead of answering his question.

"I wanted to save some time."He shrugs before his eyes take in her attire. Arousal flows through him for a second before it becomes obvious that based on the tank top and boxer shorts that she had been planning on going to bed. "Unless I'm disturbing you." He doesn't really want to bother her if she's exhausted.

"No. It's fine. Come on in." She steps aside as he climbs inside her bedroom. Helping Stefan will at least stop the loneliness for a short amount of time.

Lips crash together, tongues tangle around each other eagerly and the two move feverishly against each other, tugging and pulling at each others' clothing in an attempt to enhance the contact. The last thing either of them expected when Stefan climbed in Bonnie's window was for them to end up in this position.

Despite the initial reason Stefan gave for visiting her, the conversation had quickly shifted from the cure to their personal lives where they commiserate over their failed relationships. That led to them deciding to share a drink and now here they are locked in each other's arms.

Neither think about the potential consequences of what they are about to do. Instead they focus on the sensations of pleasure they are pulling out of each other.

Stefan presses her against her closet door and grinds his hips against hers, growling into her mouth when Bonnie hungrily bites his bottom lip. She pushes away and at first he thinks she wants to stop, but then she's grabbing at the bottom of his shirt and lifting it up. He lifts his arms in order to assist her and once it's off she tosses it on the floor.

The sight of Stefan's bare torso causes moisture to flood to Bonnie's underwear and she is unable to resist putting her mouth there. So she does and a giggle bubbles up in her throat when the muscles in his stomach tighten.

He feels his groin harden as she nips at his torso, both the sensation and the sight causing his hormones to take over. He promptly pulls her up, taking her mouth in a heated kiss and begins dragging them closer to the bed. He stops abruptly when it suddenly occurs to him that he might be taking advantage of her.

"Are you sure?" Stefan asks when she looks at him, confusion present in her eyes. As much as he wants and needs this night, he also needs to know she's sure before he can continue.

She looks at him silently - this really should be the point where she changes her mind and sends him on his way, but she can't bring herself to do it. She needs this. Instead she grabs at the hem of her shirt and pulls it off, staring at him boldly. "I'm definitely sure. Now take off your pants."

If he thought he'd been hard earlier, it has nothing on what he is feeling now. Stefan's gaze falls to her newly exposed torso, moving from her bra covered breasts to her flat stomach. His eyes return to her face and he grins lustily at her as he slowly slips out of his jeans and underwear.

Before Bonnie can blink, he has her in his arms and the pair lands onto the mattress with a loud bang. Her hands abandon their place on his back, moving to nape of his neck in order to force him down for a passionate kiss.

Stefan groans and slides his hands up her back to unhook her bra. Bonnie gasps when he proceeds to rip it off before pulling away to look at her. His eyes trail from her breasts to her face and he feels a swell of pride flood him. Her lips are slightly swollen from their kisses, her hair is in disarray, but she's never looked more beautiful to him.

Not wanting to wait any longer he leans down and begins peppering searing kisses to her neck and shoulders. His tongue comes out to play and he revels in the soft mewling sounds she makes while his hands trail across her stomach and finally her hips where he drags both her shorts and underwear off, leaving her completely naked.

When she thrusts against him, Stefan pulls away from the crook of her neck and takes her mouth in a desperate kiss. She grinds against him again and Stefan grabs her hips before aligning their groins. Bonnie tightens her legs around him and tilts her hips to make his entrance easier.

Slowly, Stefan thrusts into her, groaning at the sensation of her inner muscles squeezing his cock.

She moans and her fingers move along his shoulders as he begins to slide in and out of her. Stefan's lips continue to move against hers, catching every gasp she makes every time he moves his hips. She tightens her legs around his waist as her nails dig into his shoulder, eventually drawing blood.

Turned by the scent, Stefan begins to move faster, his thrusts turning into pounds. Wanting to get deeper inside of her, he slides a hand under has ass and lifts her against him, which deepens his penetration.

The two continue to move together, filling the room with the sounds of their passion.

-X-

The sound of a phone ringing is what wakes Stefan up the next morning. He initially panics when he looks around, not recognizing the room at first before he remembers the night before. It had been a long and hot night. He honestly can't remember having that much sex in one night, not even during his ripper days. When He turns head he sees Bonnie lying gloriously naked beside him asleep. His cock hardens at the sight and he is trying to figure out a way to will it down, when Bonnie stirs awake.

Their eyes meet and they stare at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to do to do or say. The sound of their phones ringing simultaneously breaks the staring contest and they both move to find their perspective phones.

Stefan sees Caroline's flash across the screen and answers it. "Caroline, what's up?" He wouldn't have answered, but based on the number of missed calls, he could tell it's important.

In the meantime, Bonnie checks her phone and feels her stomach drop when she sees Elena's name pop up. She can't believe she spent the night with her best friend's ex-boyfriend, a guy that her best friend more than likely still has feelings for. A guy who despite what he says is still is still in love with said best friend. She knows that despite the amazing time she had (shivers are still flowing through her body because of what they did) that she is going to have to put is out of her mind.

Exhaling, Bonnie presses the talk button and listens as Elena immediately starts rambling about Klaus, the cure, and the island where it might be located.

Ten minutes later, they have both ended their calls and have managed to get dressed. They look at each other and quickly figure out that their perspective calls were about the same thing. Knowing that they have to meet the others, they silently make their way downstairs and out of the house.

Stefan watches quietly as Bonnie locks the door behind her. He has a lot of thoughts running through his mind. The first of which is that spending the night together had been a mistake. It has the potential to cause problems that neither he nor Bonnie need right now.

"What happened last night was a mistake. We should have never spent the night together." Bonnie turns to face him.

"Yeah." He agrees despite the brief feeling anger he feels when he hears the word mistake come out of her mouth. "We were upset over our shitty relationships and one thing led to another."

"I don't want to hurt Elena. She's my best friend and I know this would upset her."

"And telling everyone would only make things worse." He knows that the others would have something to say about it.

""So we're in agreement that this never happened and no one has to know." Bonnie looks at him determination in her eyes.

"I agree. This never happened." He says as they walk over to where her car and his motorcycle are parked.

She looks on as Stefan opens the door to her car and waits for her to climb in. They share a long look that only ends when Bonnie climbs inside and it's not long before she's pulling off in the direction of the high school.

Stefan watches her for few seconds before getting on his motorcycle and speeding off as well.

-X-

Later that day, Elena and Jeremy end up killing Kol, they find out that Bonnie has gotten even more powerful, and they decide to head to the island to find the cure.

Rebekah had been angry that he turned her down quickly realized he spent the night with someone else, though she couldn't figure out who. To get back him, he decided to lie about them sleeping together, knowing it would upset Elena and get him into trouble.

When Elena blows up at him, he thinks about denying it, but eventually decides to let her believe the lie, knowing that truth would make things even worse.


One Year Later –Salvatore Boardinghouse

"Are you sure Bonnie's coming?" Elena asks for the umpteenth time, causing Stefan to roll his eyes in annoyance. Elena turns away from Stefan, slightly hurt by his demeanor. It's been this way ever since he was rescued from the safe. She had been relieved to find out the Stefan that had been sleeping with Katherine was actually Silas, but now she would almost prefer that Stefan to this disconnected one.

"She told me she would." Stefan's voice is detached, though inside his body is filled with anticipation for Bonnie's visit. She is supposed to come over to enforce another protection spell on the boardinghouse because the original spell was broken, leaving the place unprotected. Knowing Bonnie would refuse to help if they asked, they talked him into asking her since he's the only person she's talking to at this point.

"It's just… that Bonnie hasn't exactly been the easiest person to be around lately. She's acting -" Elena struggles to find a polite way to describe Bonnie's behavior toward the group since she's come back.

"Like even more of a self-righteous and judgmental bitch which is saying something considering who we're talking about." Damon finishes as he enters the living room. He doesn't get it, she got a second chance at life thanks to them (actually thanks to Stefan) and she's treating them all like dirt. He doesn't really care how she treats the others, but he's getting tired of her sniping at him and Elena. Interestingly enough, the rudeness doesn't seem extend to Stefan and Damon wonders why that is.

Stefan doesn't say anything in response choosing to ignore the pair instead, but all he can think is that he doesn't blame Bonnie for her behavior one bit. Why should she care about people that never seem to care about her in return. He knows because he feels the same way.

He had been angry that it took them four months for them to figure out Silas had replaced him and that anger had turned to rage once he realized the others didn't know about Bonnie's death. He called them out on it because how the fuck did they not realize something was up. Then he promptly found a witch nearby that had been willing to do a resurrection. Bonnie had been happy to be alive, but like him felt detached from the group and she quickly distanced herself from everyone. He has been the only exception, and Stefan has to admit that knowing that makes him happy.

The doorbell tings and before Damon or Elena can move, he's on his way to the open the door.

"Bonnie." He greets her with a small smile. She looks amazing and he is reminded of the night they spent together last year. She had looked amazing then too.

"Stefan" She returns his smile before brushing past him. Her smile drops when she sees Damon and Elena walking toward her.

"I'm glad you came, Bonnie." Elena is the first to speak only to frown in disappointment when Bonnie barely spares her or Damon a glance. She had hoped that with Bonnie back things would go back to normal, but like Stefan, Bonnie has been detached, almost angry at her. She doesn't know what's gotten into her, but can only hope she gets over whatever is bugging her.

"Nice to see you too, Witchy" Damon utters acerbically. He has to admit that he kind of misses the witch so it really grates on his nerves that she is blatantly ignoring his presence. He'll never admit it out loud though, and instead walks over to Elena and pulls her into his arms. "What have you been up to lately?" He looks back at Bonnie with a look of fake interest.

"Let's get one thing straight, the only reason I'm here is because Stefan asked me to help. So you can stop with the fake interest in what I've been up to." She came here for another reason as well, but they don't need to know that. Instead she walks into the living room and begins the spell.

Stefan, who had been watching the exchange silently, turns to Damon. "You two can go. I know you have plans." He says this as if he doesn't care either way, but inside he's anxious for them to leave.

"Are you sure Stefan?" Elena looks back at him. She knows Bonnie isn't the easiest person to be around as of late.

"Bonnie doesn't hate me, so I'll be fine." Stefan throws out the barb after reading the look on Elena's face.

Damon rolls his eyes before leading Elena toward the front the door. Before he leaves however, he decides to throw out one last shot. "Have fun with the ice queen."

The door closes behind them and neither sees the calculating look on Stefan's face.

-X-

A half hour later, Bonnie is nearly finished with the spell and Stefan decides that now be the best time to make his move. He walks behind her, standing close enough that if he shifts an inch he would be able to kiss Bonnie's neck.

"I'm done with the spell. So I should get going." Bonnie holds her palm out to test the strength of the spell and smiling when she realizes it was successful.

"You should stay." Stefan whispers, his lips grazing her ear.

Bonnie turns around and bumps into a wall of muscle. He's close enough that she has to crane her head to look him in the eyes. Her hands flatten against his chest and she can't help but remember how that chest felt beneath her palms the last time she was this close to him. Though that time he had been beneath her and she had been riding him into oblivion.

"You should stay for a drink." He finishes the rest of his sentence before he looks at her in a way that makes it clear the offer of the drink is actually a reference to the night they spent together nearly a year ago.

He proves her theory correct with his next words. "Or we could skip the drink and we could reminisce instead." His eyes go to her lips, making his intention clear.

"Okay."Bonnie agrees and their gazes lock, the latent arousal in the air seeping into the both of them.

Reading the arousal in her eyes, Stefan closes the rest of the distance between them in a blink of an eye. Wrapping his arms around her he crushes his mouth against hers. She gasps in surprise and he takes the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. Immediately her body reacts, her hands roughly grabbing at the back of his neck desperately trying to get closer while his own tighten around her waist.

The kissing grows more heated and frantic as they make their way out of the living room and into the hallway that leads to Stefan's bedroom. On the way there, they come to a stop and Bonnie roughly pushes Stefan against a wall, causing a crack to appear. Stefan pulls away slightly and grins wickedly at her, turned on by her aggression.

Then she's ripping his shirt open and he vaguely registers the sound of the buttons clattering to the floor. She helps him take off his shirt, tossing it on the floor before pressing her lips to his once again.

Stefan grunts and gradually trails his hands down to grip Bonnie's ass, squeezing it softly.

Meanwhile, their mouths continue to move together greedily, urgently trying to deepen the kiss. Bonnie strains upwards on her toes in an attempt to get closer to Stefan, until she suddenly feels her feet being lifted off the floor and her legs immediately wrap around Stefan's waist.

In a flash, he has her in his bedroom propped against the door. He holds her in place as as he eats at her mouth, licking and devouring her as he though he will never get enough of her. And if he's honest he doesn't think he ever will.

Pulling away for a second, they quickly begin removing their clothes. Something made more difficult since Bonnie's legs are locked around his waist. It takes a while, but eventually they are both naked and then he's carrying her across the room and lifting her onto the small table.

Bonnie's breath hitches as he grinds his hips between her legs, rocking against her in unmistakable rhythm. She moans as her hands wander all over, gliding up and down his back, to his ass, before pulling his hips closer to her entrance.

Their eyes meet as he thrusts inside of her deeply, filling her as far up to the hilt. Bonnie moans and it fuels his own arousal, causing him to speed up his thrusts. She squeezes her legs tighter around his waist and she uses the on the ends of the table to secure herself when he begins plunging inside her with a heavy, hammering rhythm. .

He lowers his head, his mouth latching on to one of her breasts. She gasps from the pleasure and her hips start to move faster against his. In response he grabs her ass and lifts her off the table, pumping into her until she stiffens slightly and heads right towards her release.

As her body shakes with spasms, he keeps thrusting, hammering inside of her until he can't take any more himself. His head goes back and his eyes close tightly as he comes with a force that pulls a loud bellow from him.

Still hard, Stefan pulls Bonnie from the table and hastily walks them over to the bed. They both know that much like their night last year that this was the beginning of a long night of pleasure.

-X-

The first thing Bonnie sees the next morning when her eyes open is a muscular chest. Panic fills her until she remembers that she is in Stefan's room at the boardinghouse. Along with that realization, comes the memories of the night before of writhing naked bodies and an abundance of pleasure. Suddenly she becomes aware of the fact that Stefan is not only inside of her, but is rock hard as well. Knowing that this will only lead to her jumping him again, she manages to untangle herself from him and slips out of the bed.

She looks around the room for her clothing and quickly pulls them on. She glances back at the bed, her eyes feasting on a sleeping Stefan one last time before shutting the door softly behind her.

As soon as the door shuts, Stefan jumps out of the bed. He knew she would rush home the first chance she got and he plans on being there when she gets there.

Out in the hallway, Bonnie makes her way to the door and swiftly makes her way out of the boardinghouse. In her rush to leave, Bonnie doesn't notice Damon watching her from the entry way of the living room, an angry expression on his face.

Stefan is slipping on a pair of pants when Damon bursts into the room, anger radiating off of him.

"Is there a reason you're barging into to my room?" Stefan's voice is detached, not even flinching when Damon tosses the now button-less shirt Bonnie took off of him last night at him.

"So Rebekah wasn't enough? Now you're going to start fucking Elena's friends?" Damon and Elena had heard nearly everything that went on the night before, but assumed it was some random woman Stefan picked up. When he saw Bonnie slink out of Stefan's bedroom, he realized the witch was the mystery woman.

"Can we make this quick? I have someplace to be." Stefan sits down at the end of the bed and pulls on his socks and signature boots.

Damon glares at him in disbelief. He'll never understand why Stefan feels the need to pull these stunts to rile him and Elena up. "You're really going to act like screwing Elena's best friend isn't a big deal."

"Last time I checked, Bonnie and Elena are no longer friends. Not that it would matter if they were." He grabs a black shirt out of the closet and slips it on. "What I do with my life, in my own home is my business and the same goes for Bonnie as far as I'm concerned."

"Hey, I get it. The witch is hot and I won't deny that I've always wondered how she'd be in the sack. You know, I'm actually surprised she gave it up to you..," He trails off when Stefan eyes flash with annoyance and gets back to his original point. "But we both know you only did it to get a rise out of me and Elena. Just like you did with Rebekah last year."

Stefan grins at Damon cockily as slips on his leather jacket. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret." He steps closer to him. "Last night wasn't the first night I spent with Bonnie." He knows he promised Bonnie he would keep it a secret, but figures it doesn't need to be a secret anymore since neither of them gives a fuck what the gang thinks.

"Really?" Damon asks in disbelief, though he knows from the look in Stefan's eyes that what he's saying is true.

"In fact." Stefan continues as if Damon never spoke, "That night last year when you all thought I was with Rebekah, I was actually with Bonnie." Mentioning that night makes him think of how good it felt inside of her, and he feels a sudden heaviness in his groin.

Damon looks at Stefan with wide eyes; the missing pieces all clicking in place. A lot of things hadn't added up about that day last year. Like why Bonnie and Stefan had both been unreachable that morning and apparently answered their phones around the same time. Why Rebekah almost seemed angry when she boasted about her night about Stefan to Elena, despite getting what she wanted from him. He figured it had been because Stefan had decided it was a one-time thing, but now he realizes that it had been because Stefan turned her down. And finally it had explained why Stefan had been so furious when he found out about Kol trying to kill Bonnie. He'd acted the same way he used whenever Elena was in danger before she was turned. Sharing body fluids with the witch apparently made Stefan overprotective. But there is one thing it doesn't explain.

"If it was such an amazing night why keep it a secret." Damon knows that had it been him he would have boasted about it as soon as possible. And based way Stefan acted at time, Damon would have figured, revealing that he fucked Elena's best friend would better ammunition more than letting her think he fucked the original she despises.

"Because for some reason, we both still cared about what you all would think. Which was stupid in hindsight." He shrugs "Now things have changed so it doesn't matter what you think."

"So that's why you two insisted on making as much noise as possible." He and Elena hadn't gotten any sleep because of thanks to those two. "You wanted us to hear you."

"Believe me; the last thing I was thinking about was the two of you overhearing us." He chuckles smugly before briefly looking down at his groin. He can still feel tingles from their long night together. He meets Damon's gaze again, "My focus was on giving and getting as much pleasure from Bonnie as possible."

"And as you heard last night we succeeded with that." The look in Stefan's eyes is of a guy that just had spent the night having amazing sex and is extremely happy about it.

"So what happens when Elena finds out? Sleeping with Bonnie definitely rules out the chance of getting her back." Damon grins at him condescendingly.

"Did it ever occur to you that maybe I don't want Elena anymore." Stefan's feelings for Elena had changed after being trapped in that safe for five months. He's no longer that same guy that feels the need to compete with his brother over the same woman.

"Of course not, I know you." Damon scoffs, "Elena has been your end all be all for a while now."

"You and others keep assuming that I'm that same lovesick guy I was before I was rescued, but I'm not that guy anymore. And the sooner you all realize that, the better. Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do." He begins walking out of his bedroom and into the hallway.

"Why are you being so stubborn about this?" Damon yells after him. He figured that Stefan would jump at the thought of Elena wanting him back.

"Why are you trying so hard to convince me that I still want Elena?" He figures there has to be reason for the sudden interest.

"Because despite our relationship, I care about her happiness and if there's a possibility that she still wants you. I will back off."

"Yeah right" Stefan scoffs. "I could buy that you want Elena to be happy, but no way would you just give her up for someone else without having an ulterior motive." Stefan wracks his brain going over everything that has happened since he was rescued and he remembers seeing the way Damon had interacted with Katherine and suddenly it makes sense. "This is about Katherine isn't it?"

Damon says nothing and instead glares at him and Stefan knows his suspicions are correct, causing laughter to burst from him.

"This is hilarious." He says between laughs. "You fought so hard to be with Elena only to fall back in love with her doppelganger." He lets out a few more barks of laughter before he sobers up and his voice turns hard. "Well just so we're clear I don't want Elena back and I'm not going to pretend I do. And I really don't give a damn how that screws up your plans with Katherine." With that Stefan pushes past him, causing him to crash against the wall before he heads out the door closing it behind him.

"Well that went well." Damon says sarcastically before making his way to his own room.

-X-

The first thing Bonnie sees when she gets out of her car is Stefan sitting patiently on the stairs of her front porch.

"Stefan, what are you doing here?" Bonnie gasps at him more out of curiosity than surprise. She's long since gotten used to his speedy exits and entrances.

"I could ask you the same question." Stefan stands up when Bonnie walks closer to him. "Is there a reason you rushed out like the place was on fire. Don't tell me you're feeling guilty about Elena?" He hopes not because it would really piss him off.

"No. This is definitely not about her." She begins to unlock the door and gestures for Stefan to come in. He does and they both walk over to the couch and take a seat. "I don't know I guess I just panicked for a second."

"I have a confession to make." Stefan decides to be honest about his actual intentions the night before, hoping it will ease her panic.

"What kind of confession?" She looks at him nervously, unsure what his confession could be.

"I purposely had that spell removed so you would have to come over and fix it." He slides closer to her on the couch.

"Why?"

"That night we spent together last year has been on my mind for a while. I never stopped thinking about it. Especially once we both got back." He moves one of his hands to her knee. "And I thought it would be easier to seduce you on my own turf."

"Not to mention I love the way you look whenever you perform a spell." He says this as his uses his other hand to cup her cheek. "You always look as though you are on the verge of having an orgasm. If I couldn't be experience that by being inside of you again, I figured at least being able to see you that way would be enough." He drags slides his hand down to her neck and traces her pulse point.

Bonnie feels the moisture flood to her panties at the contact and decides to make her own confession.

"Well in the spirit of being honest, I guess I should tell you that I planned a little seduction of my own." she shifts and proceeds to straddle him, grabbing the lapels of his leather jacket. "I could have done that spell from home if I really wanted to." Her voice changes from its usual timbre into a more seductive one.

Stefan's groin tightens at the blazing look in her eyes.

"I knew Elena and Damon would have plans, so I took longer than I needed to with the spell because I knew how it would affect you." As soon as the words are out of her mouth, Stefan pulls her down for a scorching kiss.

Bonnie melts into the kiss and slowly slides her hands into his leather jacket, rubbing at his chest. She groans when she feels Stefan's hands at her hips. Before things can go further however, Bonnie pulls back from his mouth.

"We should…" Bonnie attempts to speak, but is distracted by Stefan's hands when they slip under her shirt. "We should talk about what's happening between us" She gasps when he softly squeezes her breasts.

"Clearly, the attraction between us isn't going away. We tried to push it down last year because we thought too much about how other people would feel. And let's face it; neither of us was in the right place for anything other than one night."

Bonnie nods her head in agreement she had known he was still in love with Elena and she had still had feelings for Jeremy. Now a year later, things have changed and Bonnie wonders what that means for them now.

"I guess what I'm saying is that we made a promise to live for ourselves and I think we owe to ourselves to pursue this." He stops playing with her breasts and looks at her with intensity, waiting for her response.

Bonnie looks at him silently for a few seconds before by capturing his mouth in a fiery kiss, giving him the answer he was looking for.
