Elena hadn't felt this free in a long time. It all begun with Stefan. After all a girl doesn't just continue dating someone who could be her great grandfather. Damon did make her feel like she was alone. He wanted to share in his life and most of all be a part of hers forever. His burdens didn't make her feel like he was hiding anything from her. He wasn't always the most forthcoming, but he made up for that in so many ways.
"I love you Damon." Elena sways to a song in the bar they'd chosen for the night. The alcohol was starting to kick in by the look in her eyes. Tipsy Elena usually meant good things for Damon. His eyes ran over the tight sweater – that rode up whenever she arched her body.
"I thought about this moment so many times." Damon's hand brushes over her bangs and cradling her close. His eyes seem to never leave hers.
"What moment?" Elena closes her eyes leaning into his touch moaning. She didn't know if it was the sire bond or not. He'd released her already from it. But the pull had always been there for Damon. She just ignored it before trying not to give in.
"You in my arms like this. The moment when it's just us and we aren't surrounded by the Scooby gang." Elena chuckles looking up at her boyfriend, "Even though I'd prefer them to this crowd. But no one is interrupting us."
"You can be so sweet sometimes even when you're slightly knocking my friends."
"I've saved them countless times, so they're mine too." Damon gives her a grin, while taking her hand is kissing it."
"Oh, come on not all of them."
"No one is perfect."
"I am." Elena chides.
"Yes, you are and all mine."
"Hmm Elena Salvatore does have a good ring to it."
"Elena Gilbert is so yesterday." Damon shrugs, "But now Elena Salvatore I could get used to." Damon leans forward for a kiss, Elena meets him halfway. Their lips crush and Elena stomach fills with butterflies. Her whole-body surges into Damon's'.
"I want you right now Damon."
"Anywhere you want." His blue eyes pierce her brown lusty depths, "Any way you want."
"Don't say things you don't mean."
Damon pulled Elena against his body. Elena grips his hips groaning at the contact, "you know I'm always ready for you."
"Just what I like to hear."
"Caroline isn't on campus. She had to go home for the weekend."
"So, we trash the whole dorm room and make lots of noise."
Elena just nods and smiles up at him biting her bottom lip, Damon eyes move to a guy standing by the bar and glares. Elena looks in the same direction to see some frat boy checking her out.
"Check out my girl one more time, I gouge your eyes out." Damon threatens. Frat boy throws his hands up and looks away, not realizing he'd been caught.
"Damon that's nothing."
"You're clearly taken." Damon pulls her against him again.
"Well if you'd make good on that promise already he wouldn't be seeing how hot I am for you right now."
"Saying its my fault you look so damn hot when you get tipsy?"
"I seem to recall you bumping and grinding on me and driving me crazy?"
"Hmm I can do a lot more." Damon began pulling her towards the door. The night air felt good after getting out of the bar. Elena sighs and swings her boyfriend around for a smoldering kiss.
They're so wrapped up in one another they don't know someone is watching them from afar.
"Damon lets hurry up."
Damon looks around as if feeling a familiar presence, Elena looks back and sees her boyfriend looking around as if in a daze, "Babe you ok?"
"Yeah just thought I felt something. A moment ago."
"I hope not ED." Elena teases.
"Now you're going to get it." Damon quirks back to her. HE rushes towards and picks her up his arms, "You know I have no problem with that."
"No, you don't. Feels quite able to me." Elena leans for another kiss moaning, "Best night ever until tomorrow."
"Definitely the best til I wake up with you in my arms."
…..
The couple wanders hand in hand. Not knowing the danger that lies ahead of them and the two men lingering behind for their chance to strike.
Is that her Doc?" One asks with a curious voice, "She's a looker."
The other man huffs at the other vampire's lack of calm but hadn't had anyone else around in a while to call his equal; not since his accident. "That is the girl who'll save my Nora."
"How do we know it'll work?" The vampire hadn't taken his eyes off the couple. He wanted to kill the man for everything he'd ever done to him. His girl was a looker. He'd love to make Damon feel the way he made his feel all those decades ago.
"We don't until we try. I can feel it in my bones, she is the key to it all."
"When you're done, can I have her?" the other could hear a longing in the others voice, "Saying she survives and doesn't break out like this one did."
"She'll need a lot of support; I think you're just the guy for the job. She'll know her place soon enough." I think she would make a wonderful addition to our family."
…
Damon and Elena snuck quietly up the stairs, "Be quiet Damon, we aren't supposed to have guys here."
"Well everyone knows I'm full blooded rule breaker."
Elena laughs as they make it to her dorm room. She unlocks the door and opens it. She doesn't see the vervain dart shoot through the doorway. Elena collapses back into Damon. And he catches the next dart aimed at him.
"Elena honey hold on." He cradles her head and lies her in the hallway. HE looks back up again for the threat.
"Hello old friend." Damon's eyes go wide. He hadn't heard that voice in decades; since 1953.
"Enzo?" Enzo fires another vervain dart and it hit Damon in the neck. Damon still can't believe what he is seeing and clutches t he door looking up with wide eyes, "So much for dead huh?"
Enzo waits for Damon to hit the ground before he walks over and looks down on his old friend, "Long time. So happy you've returned to us."
A figure appeared in the doorway, "Good job Enzo, now bring them to the lab. We have some work to do."
"You got it." Enzo begins whistling a tune as he lungs the two vampires over his shoulder and follows.
