So this is the result of a conversation with 'Vampire-Diaries-Addict-Forever', and about five minutes worth of work. I was tempted to go straight-up lemon with this, but I think this works nicely just as it is. Anyways, I still don't own TVD ;)
Damon knew he was outmatched. Pearl was a much older and far more formidable opponent than the bottom feeders he'd dealt with throughout the years. She'd already nearly gouged his eyes out for not much more than assuming himself her superior, and now, as she pinned him to a wall of his brother's home, he was confident he'd pushed his luck too far. Of course he absolutely had it coming for what he'd done, but then again, Damon wasn't one for playing by the rules, in particular, keeping his hands to himself around a beautiful, and in this case deadly woman.
She tightened her grip on his throat, and while he didn't require the use of his windpipe, it didn't make the pain she inflicted on him any less wrenching.
"C'mon, Pearl," he quietly begged as his hands tightly wrapped her unflinching wrist. "It was just a joke."
She smiled as she scolded him, "You know in less civilized societies, you could lose a hand for touching something that didn't belong to you." Conveniently, an ornamental shield and swords adorned the wall just beside them. She slipped one of the long blades from its fixture and raised its point to Damon's throat. His life in her hands, Pearl slowly examined him from head to toe. She would have been lying if she said she hadn't missed the touch of a man, even if it was just the harmless grope of a Salvatore.
A twisted smile formed on her lips as she slowly slid the blade down his chest, effortlessly sliding through the stitching that held the buttons of his shirt in place. His shirt now cut open, she dropped the weapon and without a word, slowly leaned her face to his and delicately joined their lips. Her grip on his throat loosened completely and he pushed her away, "What the hell are you--?"
She gently pressed a finger to his lips silencing him, and replied, "No one needs to know."
Short and simple, I hope you enjoyed it :)
