Elena sat curled up on the couch. She stared into space wondering when exactly she turned into such a boring person. The rags Damon used to clean up the kitchen counter had more personality than her lately. Elena felt such a mix of emotions on the inside. The transition had definitely heightened her emotions and the intense feelings that passed through her caused her to be restless. She glanced over at the other couch where Damon sat reading a lengthy book. Probably something from the dinosaur age or one of those books innocent people were forced to read in order to obtain high school diplomas and college degrees. "This is a classic, Elena. Written for intellectuals who enjoy an intricate plot and literary devices. It was published before all literature went to hell" is what Damon would most likely tell her if she raised her eyebrows at the book in his hands.

Elena let out a dramatic sigh. Since being made aware of the whole sire bond situation, Damon had decided that they, as in Damon and Elena, would not be having anymore encounters of the sexual kind until everything was sorted out. She had explained endless times that the sire bond didn't affect the way she felt, but being the gentleman that he was he stuck to his decision. And here they were at 11 PM wasting time doing nothing when they could be doing each other.

Lust was one of those annoyingly heightened emotions that were driving her crazy. She kept her eyes on her boyfriend. He was so into what he was reading. Dark hair fell slightly disheveled on his head and his eyes shined an intoxicating blue. Elena let her appreciative gaze drift downward. It lingered on the smooth skin below his collarbone, peaking out from the top of his black button down shirt. The feelings inside Elena sparked again and she let out a frustrated groan. Standing up she began pacing back and forth trying to control the emotions she felt.

Damon lowered his book and looked up amused. "What's up with you?"

Ugh has his voice always been this sexy? She thought .

Her pacing continued.

"Wanna talk about it, love?" He asked. The smile in his voice was obvious.

Elena plopped down on the couch. Sitting so close next to him did nothing to calm the flickers of lust. She cleared her throat.

"I just...umm. My emotions are heightened, you know? And you look umm... It's just that..." Elena paused, unsure how to explain.

Damon's smirk spread wide across his face. He cocked an eyebrow.

"My emotions are driving me crazy! I've been sitting here with you for the past hour and all I can focus on is you. How you look, how you smell, how you talk, and how you taste, and just you, you, you. It's like how I used to want chocolate when it was my time of month. That's how I want you." the words spilled out of her mouth rapidly.

Damon threw his head back and laughed. "That's an odd compliment. I'll take it."

"It's not funny, Damon."

She moved to straddle his lap, both of her knees on either side of his thighs. "This is serious."

He stopped laughing.

Elena brought her lips close to his, "It's like I'm craving you." she whispered. Her eyes fluttered shut and his did the same. She moved her hands to the back of his neck.

"Elena. We can't." His eyes remained shut as he spoke.

"But I want to." she whined.

Damon opened his eyes and saw the pout form on her lips. He smiled and ran his hands through her long hair. "I want to too, but we can't until we figure out this sire bond thing."

He saw something spark in Elena's eyes. Her voice was low when she spoke again, "You said 'no sex'...but I can still kiss you."

And with that she pressed her lips to his. After three days of almost no physical contact, this was heaven. Elena sighed against his lips and Damon caved. It was just kissing. He couldn't deny her anything. Especially not himself.

Her fingers knotted in his hair as her tongue explored his mouth. Elena molded herself to his body and she felt his head fall back. She brought one hand to his face, fingers tracing the outline of his jaw. Elena felt Damon giving into his craving for her and she she relished the feeling.

Damon pulled away slightly only to press another quick kiss to her lips.

He smoothed his hands down her sides and said, "I hope that was enough to satisfy your craving...because I meant it when I said 'no sex'."
