A smile was ghostly on his face just watching her talk although he was barely paying any attention to what she was saying at all. Her gorgeous eyes and kissable mouth just had him under a daze and it was wrong, it was so wrong.

He was snapped out of his daze when his head was turned and lips were pressed against his and he opened his eyes to see his girlfriend Elena Gilbert walk away heading toward the restroom. Once he heard the bathroom door close, he leaned in and kissed those lips as he wanted to all day. He frowned when Bonnie Bennett pushed him off and folded her arms under her chest looking away. His hand reached to touch the side of her face but she moved that away as well.

"Baby,"

"Stop it, Stefan."

His frown deepened and he tried to move so he could be in her range of vision, but she would always look the other way. He lets out a breath missing the way that they used to be. When she didn't hate him or want him to not touch her in any way. He misses that, he misses her. She got him to love her and if things weren't like the way that they are, he would be with her right now.

"I'm sorry."

"It's a little too late for that now, don't you think?"

He's a vampire and some chick shouldn't have this much of an effect on him and his heart but Bonnie does. If he didn't spot Elena making her way back over, he would've got down in his knees asking for her forgiveness.

He hated how easily Bonnie put a smile on her face as his girlfriend sat across from her. It was as if she's been faking it for a long time, that it was part of her daily routine and he hated that. She's the most down to earth, generous, sweetest person that he's ever met on all his centuries of living and she didn't deserve to fake it. She deserved to be happy, which he could've provided if it wasn't for his mistake.

"It was nice talking to you, Bon, but I'm a little beat," Elena said standing.

"If you don't mind, babe, I have to talk to Bonnie so I'm just going to stay here."

Elena smiled, "Is this about my birthday party?"

"You have a birthday coming up?"

Elena giggled and kissed him. "I'll see you at the house."

Stefan nodded and watched her leave before turning to Bonnie who was making her way out of the booth.

"Wait, Bonnie, please."

She stopped gathering her things and he stood up to sit beside her, scooting in close so that her back was against the low wall. His ass started to sizzle but through the pain, he spoke.

"You know, if it wasn't for me, you never would've known that you're a witch."

She stopped her attack. "You know if it wasn't for you my heart wouldn't be torn into pieces."

He sighed looking down then moved his eyes back to her face and moved his hand in her hair. "Baby, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me, but I love you. I love you, I just need some time."

"Time for what?"

"For me to break things off, for me to break up with her and be with you. You're the one that I want."

"If that's true then why did you even ask her out?"

"She looked like Katherine and the memories of us just came rushing back to me and I acted on impulse."

She waited a while. "I don't think I can wait for you. I have a life, I don't deserve to be someone's second choice."

"You were never my second choice. Bonnie, please, I never begged anyone for anything but I'm begging you now. Please. I love you."

Her teary eyes avoided his but Stefan grabbed her chin and slowly moved in connecting their lips. He holds her tight when she kisses him back and when she pulls away, he brings her into a hug, squeezing her body burying his head in the crook of her neck.

"Okay."

He lets out a breath relieved that she agreed and kissed her again.

Three months earlier

Stefan Salvatore delights in the feel of her gentle fingers on his face and teeth as he exposed his true form to her for the second time that night. His eyes are as dark as coal, but he views her in such light and swears that he's in love with her in only the hour and a half that he's known her. To think he met this fine specimen at a rundown bar of all places blows his mind and the fact that she was single (not that he would've cared if she wasn't) just makes his head explode.

Her toned, caramel legs in those jean shorts, great ass and back with medium chocolate locks had his cock hard and he hoped that the front of her was just as good and luckily for him, it was better. He bought her the drink of her choice and introduced himself before spilling the beans telling her that she's a witch.

"Stop fucking with me." Was what she said and it caused him to smile.

She looked amused and he didn't want to be taken as a fool so he told her again adding that the reason that he knows is because he's a vampire and he sensed it the moment he walked up to her. She turned her body fully towards his and placed a hand on her hip narrowing her eyes.

"Prove it."

Stefan downed his shot then grabbed her hand taking her over to one of the corners in the bar and gave her no warning before he hissed revealing his true form. He watched her eyes grow wide and the surprising thing to him besides the fact that she didn't have horror in her eyes was the fact that she smiled. Smiled.

"I've heard tales about vampires running around here but never had I thought I'd meet one."

Stefan returned his face back to his human form. "Why are you not afraid, I can kill you right now."

"You could… but you won't."

He stopped himself from growling, he wanted her so bad. "What makes you so sure?"

She lifted the corner of her mouth. "Because you're attracted to me."

"I could fuck you then kill you."

"Who says I would even let you fuck me? I don't do vampires, but thanks for the interest."

He chuckled as she walked off but grabbed her hand making her cup him over his jeans. His eyes closed briefly at the feel and she trapped the corner of her lip between her teeth.

"Are you sure?"

He listened to the thumping of her heart and shut his eyes as she walked the short distance to connect their lips. He felt himself vamping out when she squeezed and surprised himself as he called her "baby" for he's never called anyone that so quickly. He pulls away and takes her outside on his motorcycle driving her to the boarding house where he sped her upstairs making her gasp but not as loudly as he slid in her. She was tight and if things didn't go so smoothly he would've assumed that she was a virgin.

If you were to ask him how things were the only thing he would've been able to say was that it was the best fuck he had because her heat caused him to blackout. He faintly remembers her riding him and her dirty language as she did so using more force with each thrust but that was all he knew.

He came back to his senses when it was over and thought she was ready for round two when she straddled his lap but all she did was kiss him saying that she didn't really get the chance to when everything was going down. He stops himself from smiling but he kisses her again moving his hand in her hair as he did so and turned his head to the side sliding his tongue in her mouth.

Bonnie grows a smile feeling his lips on her neck and opens her mouth slightly feeling his fang run down the side of it drawing some blood but relaxes when he licks away the blood also sealing the scratch.

"I wouldn't bite you without asking for your permission first."

He feels himself jolt with energy tasting her blood and he was scared of the effect it would have on him when he actually does drink from her.

"Is that your rule or something?"

He shrugged. "Only when I'm feeling relaxed."

She smiled. "I want to see your face again, your true face. It was dark in that bar and I didn't get to admire you."

"Admire?" He asks granting her wish.

He watched her eyes study his face before her gentle fingers made contact with his face and there she was smiling again.

"I think it's something very beautiful about vampires." She says so softly that he feels himself unwillingly turn human before snapping back. "I've seen pictures—that I now know are fake—" Bonnie continues, "and I've always found them so majestic."

"You'd be the first." His voice slurs because of his teeth and how her fingers are on his mouth.

She looks into his eyes then kisses him once.

"Let me teach you a spell." Stefan says not liking how he feels himself falling for her. "Focus on that candle over there and repeat after me."

Bonnie nods letting out a breath looking over at the unlit candle.

"Incendia,"

"That's it?" She raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled. "Are you not impressed?"

"Well I just thought it would be more words, I guess."

"One step at a time."

"How do you know this anyway? Are you part witch?"

"No, actually you can't be a vampire and witch it's against the rules."

"Rules?"

"For lack of better term. Now say it; Incendia."

Bonnie let out a breath focusing back on the candle. "Incendia,"

A smile grew on her face as the candle lit and Stefan couldn't stop himself from not smiling.

"Wow, that's- that's amazing. What else can you teach me?"

"As I said, one step at a time, besides, I'm a little beat."

She grins. "Did I wear you out, Stefan?"

His cock hardens at the way she says his name and he lifts her and eases her down taking every inch of him in. She stays still taking him in before she rocks and this time Stefan stays alert. His eyes remain on her face and her eyes when their not shut and his hand moves to the side of her face and runs his thumb along her cheek a few good times before kissing her.

Bonnie's mind spins out of control and she thought that she was crazy, but she actually likes him. She barely knows him, but she likes him. He was different and it's not just the fact that he's a vampire, but the fact that she could tell that he cares for her too.

If she was honest, Bonnie would tell you that she just expected a one night stand but something deep inside tells her to expect to have Stefan in her life for a while.

-::-

Stefan wakes up with Bonnie under his arm and usually, he would wake whoever it was up and tell her to get moving, but he found himself liking this feeling. He even turns her gently so he could stare at her sleeping face then shakes his head realizing what he's doing.

He's becoming old Stefan again. The guy who would do anything for a girl, the saint with the hero hair, but he decided to leave that Stefan behind a long time ago but then this one showed up and made him return slightly back to his old ways.

Since they're both only dressed in the skin that God gave them, he feels closer to her than ever and it's as if she velcroed onto him. Bonnie's eyes peep open to meet his stare and she smiles moving in closer to him.

"You should leave."

"I don't think so."

He doesn't argue otherwise and frankly, he's not even sure why he told her to leave in the first place because the last thing that he wanted was her gone, but that's probably why he said it.

"I have a brother," Stefan tried again, "he could walk in on us."

"Something tells me that if he did, this wouldn't be the first time. Besides, we're sleeping not having sex."

"That could be arranged."

"No, it can't. I'm tired."

He narrows his eyes at her and is almost angry but that emotion never truly surfaces. Stefan just lets out a breath and unknowingly pulls her in closer to his body in thought. No one has ever denied him of such pleasure and it makes him think about who he's dealing with.

Bonnie isn't like the other girls and she told him such as they decided to talk before going to sleep. She shared a lot now that he thinks about it and probably too much, but she trusted him. She didn't have to tell him that, he could sense it but he has no idea why she would trust a guy like him. Sure, he wasn't going to go around town shouting her deepest secrets, but she barely knows him so who was she to assume that he wouldn't? He's a vampire and vampires should not be trusted, they taught you that in 'How to Live in Mystic Falls 101', so maybe she missed the course.

"You should leave."

Bonnie opens her eyes and sits up looking into his. "Fine. If you truly want me to go, I'll go. Do you want me to go, Stefan?"

He draws his eyebrows together unable to form his words and gladly so because if he could, he would've told her to stay. Bonnie faintly smiles and kisses his chest as she rested her head back down on the pillow. He pulls her body up to meet their lips and sits up as he did so. He enjoys the feel of her fingers in his hair scratching his scalp before he pulls away.

"You don't have to leave but you should get up. It's a school day."

She smiles. "What makes you think I'm in school?"

"You were at a college bar last night."

"Touché."

He smiled and before he can kiss her again, she gets off his lap and walks into the bathroom but he shortly follows when he heard the water run. Her eyes are closed as she runs the loofa along her body and his mouth waters just watching her so he walked up to the glass shower and stepped in behind.

"I could wash your back for you."

"Only if you promise to wash my front as well."

He groans and turns her to meet their lips and lifts her making her back make contact with the tiled wall. He focuses on her pants and moans that she fills his ears with causing his eyes to roll to the back of his head.

He places her down when she cools down from her high and when he's emptied inside her and makes out with her against the wall much like he did when he dropped her off on campus.

Bonnie felt like she was in high school again making out with a hottie but instead of against the lockers, it was the wall beside the door of her first class. One of his arms were on the wall beside her head as the other was wrapped around her body trapping her in front of him as her arms occupied the books that she needed pulled close to her breasts.

"I should get inside," Bonnie says then kisses him again.

Stefan lifted her chin connecting their lips again. "What time is class over?"

Bonnie uses her pointer finger to trace the side of his jawline, "Two hours from now." She meets their lips then grips his lower lip between her teeth then pulls, kissing it when she lets go. "Will you pick me up?"

"Of course." He kisses her once. "I'll also help you change out of this outfit once we get to your place."

She smiles. "I'll see you."

She moves out of his hold but is pulled back into a kiss and smiles as he pulls away. He lets her walk inside and he turns to head home.

-::-

It was her turn to watch him sleep. She smiled to herself thinking that he was just a vampire looking for a quick lay but she now knew that wasn't the case.

Maybe at first, it was but they have a connection strong enough to turn everything around. He taught her magic, a simple spell yes, but he still took the time out to teach her something. He listened as she talked and it wasn't one of those famous pretend to listen type thing that boys do, but he actually cared. She felt comfortable telling him things that she would only tell her closest friends and she wouldn't get ahead of herself, but maybe just maybe a relationship will come out of this.

Stefan felt her eyes on him and he would call her a creep if he hadn't done the same thing this morning.

"Do you like me, Stefan?"

"Yes." He didn't have time for games.

"Do you see yourself liking me for a long time?"

He lets out a breath with his eyes still shut. "I'm not one to focus on the future, I'm more of a 'right now' type of guy… or vamp." He smirked.

His eyes opened when he felt her hand on the side of his face then closed briefly when she kissed him.

"Tell me about her."

"Her?"

"You know, the girl that broke your heart."

He drew his eyebrows together. "What makes you think I got my heart broken?"

"Well living as long as you have, it's bound to happen. Was she a vampire too?"

He was brooding. Something he's been doing a lot ever since he met her. He didn't understand why she was so interested, maybe he shouldn't have told her that he likes her and she would mind her own business but he can't take back what he said now.

Sighing, he told her about Katherine, how she played his brother and his hearts like a fiddle. He was so young and naive back then and Katherine was the most beautiful woman that his young eyes ever laid eyes on so of course, he would do anything she wanted. He loved her and quite frankly he still does, but she died in that burning building.

He goes on to tell her how he got turned into a vampire, shot by his own father after watching his older brother go down first. Turns out that Katherine slipped them some of her blood and after waking up by the lake and feeding on an innocent woman, there they began the start of their never-ending lives. He stopped there not wanting up go into too much detail about his life roaming around killing left and right.

He watched her eyes and as soon as he saw pity in them, he got up to put on his clothes only to realize that they were already on remembering that they didn't have sex but only (he hates to use the word, but) cuddled.

"Stefan, wait." Bonnie got up herself. "I didn't mean to look at you that way, I just don't know how to feel-"

"How did you know when I didn't even tell you?"

Bonnie curses in her mind and looks down before back up at him. "I… I accidentally read your mind, but I didn't mean to and I won't ever again, I was just thinking so closely on how you might feel and then I heard your thoughts and I'm sorry."

Stefan stepped up closer to her scowling down at her. She wasn't scared only nervous as to what he might do, he saw looking into her eyes. Bonnie met his scowl head on biting the inside of her mouth as he leans down moving his head to the side on her neck after brushing the hair off her shoulder.

He won't bite you without asking for permission, she told herself. Bonnie's eyes closed as he sniffed up her neck.

"I could kill you right now if I wanted to. I wouldn't make any mess, just sink my fangs right here," he demonstrates using his fingers, "and drink all your blood, I'd make it quick probably less than a minute since I like you. Afterward, I'd bury you someplace and skip town, no one will ever know but if they find you, they'd label it as an animal attack for the sake of the townspeople so they wouldn't be frightened that a vampire is on the loose. Your parents won't even know, they won't get the closure that they don't deserve and you'll be God knows where." He smelt her fear. "I can kill you right now." He repeats.

Bonnie stills as he kisses her neck and in that same moment, he's gone. She sits down landing luckily on her bed and not the floor breathing heavily because she forgot to when he was speaking. She knew that he wouldn't do it, but that didn't make the threat any less terrifying because she knows that he did what he described what he would do to her to other people and something tells her on more than one occasion.

Bonnie holds her hand over her heart feeling it thump loudly and she tells herself to relax and it feels like an eternity later before she actually does.

A/N: Hey all so this will be my last fic of 2018. A little fact is that I wrote this years ago but I wasn't sure if the ending that I have was complete enough but after reading it over I feel like it's good so here it is lol. It's only 5 chapters so it a short and sweet one.
