Damon was seated on the sofa at the studio, nursing a glass of bourbon and thinking the words Katherine had said earlier, "It will always be Stefan", then takes a gulp and darkly laughs, of course it will always be him. That's the same story ever since they were kids.
Just as he was calling him, the subject of his thoughts came through the door alongside this cute little person he can't seem to stop thinking about, Elena. They took a seat in front of him, too close to add salt in his open wounded heart and forcing him to remember that he's just the vampire everyone seems to hate but nobody it's strong enough to kill or worse, he seems to be the man that everybody looks as someone who's about to break, pity, the last feeling we wants to cause on others.
- Where is she? – Asked Elena with too much disdain, making quite a contrast with her angel-like features, but he can´t blame her, sometimes it appears that the whole existence of Katherine was to torture someone.
He stays silent and takes another sip smiling drily, thinking he was once into those stuffs, apparently this group has change him, not that he would admit this to anyone. In fact he doesn't want to look weaker and for the sake of his amusement he replies "well, last time I checked, I'm not her babysitter, but I would take a guess and say she's out…taking a bite".
Stefan opened big his eyes and Elena covered her mouth with her hands. Damon this time smiled a little bit happier, not that he felt this way, but those two prudes never fail to respond just like he wants them to.
- Damon! How could you let her go out!
Not pleased by his brother accusation he took a deep breath, sometimes it amuses him that his brother seems to be oblivious of his suffering, "Yeah, brother i´m gonna stay in the same room with the woman that played with my heart and broke it into pieces hundred and fifty years ago", that's what he thought and wanted to say, but what really came out of his mouth was "What did you want me to do, little bro? Chained her to my bed and take out the whip I have for this special occasions. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to make any effort to give her any kind of pleasure, therefore you have two options, torture yourself thinking what she may be doing, like I'm sure you would, or expect that she will behave".
Elena makes a disgust face and rolled her eyes, and just for a moment Damon starts to imagine what other expressions she can make, yeah, he will love to see her face contour in pleasure, specially under his arms, but he better save that image for his dreams later, now he must try to pay attention to this tedious conversation.
- Damon! That's gross! I don't want to know what kind of kinky agreement you two have get to, especially with someone that looks exactly like me.
He may love the girl, but sometimes she just act like the seventeen year old girl she is and is in those moments that even for that split of a second he considered that maybe not everything revolves around Elena, but shut that thought, with so many supernatural thing he can forgive her that moments of frivolity and just smile before give an answer - Then don't ask more than you little head can accept without exploding but if you want more sex tips to spice things up come to me later, because just so you know missionary style isn't the only way to do it.
- You're unbelievable.- said Stefan.
He was not paying attention to his brother, in fact he was trying very hard to avoid his presence and tried not to look at the hand he was resting on Elena's leg, but was futile. Now that he called his attention he was fully aware of this gesture, so simpler and yet so incredible hurtful to Damon's feeling. He must not show, he must regain control of this and the only way he knew how was through sarcasm - I know bro', but changing the subject of my awesomeness, because that would take hours of talking, care to tell me why you are here. Sure as hell you don't want to talk about Katherine and I can't stand the two of you watching me sexily drink my liquor.
- Isobel's back – stated Stefan.
Damon showed no surprise, ever since the appearance of Katherine saying she wanted to help the group to bring down Klaus, he indeed was expecting the other vampire. Watching Stefan's expecting face he decided to voice his thoughts - I thought this will happen any time soon, but never thought it will be this fast.
- How bro'? – asked Stefan trying to mimicked Damon's previous tone.
He knew his brother well and the fact he knew something before him just bring up those cautions red flags and made him think he was conjuring something without his knowledge. Well, years of hurting each other cannot be forgotten easily, thanks Katherine for that by the way. - Logic, brother, simple and pure logic. Isobel has been Katherine's messenger about helping us to defeat Klaus and if the bitch it's out in the open so would our little nosy vamp. See, logic. – Finished Damon giving his best known and love smile.
- And you really think she will help us defeat Klaus. I mean, there's no proof that we can trust her.
He paid attention to Elena's face, nop, there was no hint of sarcasm there, she truthfully and completely believe what she was saying, and of course with this couple it was always black or white, not a glint of grey. - Elena, I don't recall saying such thing, sure she's a bitch and sure she only care about saving her own skin, but because of that it's that now we can trust she will help us even if it's just a little bit. Our enemy is her enemy and for that she needs us, but we must not give her entire credit, because if she needs to sell us out in order to protect herself she will.
- And after that Damon, what would you do?
He felt something behind his brother's words and if he could trust his instinct on knowing people's true intentions he would say it was jealousy, but that can't be true, therefore he let it slip to the back of his mind - Well Stefan, after or even now if she makes the slightest mistake I will gladly stake her myself.
And there she was, the cause of all evil, standing sexily on the threshold. Looking at her closely Damon must admit that those leader pants she is wearing can really accentuate her curves and he, a man full of desire, wouldn't mind get lost there. The only thing that troubled him was that she knows the effect she has on men and act upon that.
Slowly she makes her way towards the group, passing the couple and getting close to him. When she got there she took Damon's drink out of his hand and started to drink - Oh Dear Damon! I hope that when you do, stake me, can be in ways that I enjoy, and trust me I will enjoy it – Katherine said after a sip before making a trail of kisses from the shape of Damon's neck to his left earlobe – and to be honest that whip and chains you mentioned earlier really may do wonders to my stressed muscles, wanna play later?
Katherine was getting to Damon's nerves and desires, especially because right in front of his vision was Elena, the subject of Damon's latest sex dream, and having the look alike her giving him those ministrations was taking a big effort on his urges. But he is stronger than that therefore he must remain calm - Yeah, what about if a play to be a chiropractic and brake your neck several times? I´ll promise it will be rough.- Said an irritated Damon. – But aside from that, please refer in the future to spy others people conversations. I won`t look good on your charade of being a good girl and wanted to be on our side or maybe we may be planning ways to kill you.
- Good girl? Please don't tell me you are mistaken me for Elena, cause that would be just sick, and by the way, stop talking about the delicious things that you would do to me, remember there are innocent kids in the room…do you want to leave a scar on their minds. And about the conversation, you are a bored group, nothing you said interest me
Katherine was still playing with his ear, neck and shoulder, and despite Damon's irritation he found himself slowly giving in, automatically wrapping the slim waist, pulling her closer and making imaginary figure with his fingers on the expose skin available, neither of them oblivious of the glares sent by Stefan and Elena.
Suddenly the two of them stand up walking towards the nearest exit - Stefan let´s leave, suddenly the air has become toxic and unbreathable.
Katherine was actually enjoying the distress Elena felt - Sweetheart you sound so stiff, are you in need of a good fuck? Trust me, that can work magic with that snob attitude you have. Besides remember we are going to be working together, either you like it or not.
- Yes, we may be working together in the future, but not tonight. And about the snob attitude, I believe yours is bigger than mine and considering your past I don't see that your amount of fucking has changed that.
After saying that Elena and Stefan walked out of the room, leaving Damon and Katherine – uh! Fiery, I can probably see now what has called your attention about her. And speaking about that, you know there's more than one way we can work together.
Damon focused on Katherine's face trying so hard not to picture Elena, remembering that this person was someone cold, manipulative and basically a bitch – What? Need a toy in the bed.
She caress his cheek before answering – I must admit that it will happen and we both will enjoy it, cause that's just how good we are in that area, but my goal is Stefan you already know that and I know that you want Elena. I was thinking maybe we can work together, jealousy it's going to be our weapon to bring to the surface the feeling those two have.
He wanted to believe that, but he didn't want to build any hope around that idea – And in what universe you think that will work.
- Tell me you are just deluding yourself. From next room I heard how her heartbeat rose when she thought that we had some sort of agreement and I know you heard it too, maybe we can continuing provoking her, that way you can get what you want and I can get what I want.
- And what makes you so sure that my brother has any feelings for you? because as great motherfucker I can be, and i´m good at it, I will not lead my brother to perdition, meaning you.
- Oh what a sweet brother!… might remind me again how lusting after your brother´s girlfriend makes you better than me? - Damon turned his head to the right – I thought so, but being as good that I am, i´ll answer your question anyway. I know he still love me and you can confirm that yourself. First proof it´s that he still have, close to his heart, the necklace I gave him one hundred years ago, and the second it´s that he has tattooed on his forearm my favorite flower.
Katherine started to undress him, and thought he still did not believe her, he would not deny that it felt good what she was doing and answered with all his strength and pushed her against the wall.
He did not kiss her, because in his mind that will include any kind of love and caring, this was nothing close to it, this was lustful and primal sex, where clothes will be torn and their lips will smash against each other until they are swollen and purple before turning back to normal. He will not be gentle with her, he will punish her.
And with that, without saying the word, he agreed to the bargain.
