Chapter One:


Ever since Mason came back into town, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't know what to say… 'Hey, sorry that my friends tried to kill you… but hey, I saved your life, so hopefully you don't hate me, too?!' It's ridiculous, really. It doesn't help that his nephew is as hot as he is and he keeps giving me his 'I want to fuck you' eyes.

"Hey Bonnie, I was hoping to run into you." A voice jarred me from my thoughts. I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I'm sure. What do you need now? Haven't I saved this town enough this week? A girl needs her sleep." I sighed, figuring that Damon was just being annoying and demanding something, per usual.

"I don't need anything, really. I just wanted to say thank you." The voice continued. Only then, did I realize that it didn't belong to the unstable Salvatore brother that I could barely tolerate. I looked up to see none other than Mason Lockwood talking to me. My jaw dropped and I did my best to hide my surprise.

"Oh, wow, I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else… a more annoying, self-centered vampire." I forced a laugh and tried to recover from my horrible awkwardness.

"That's a first. It's alright. No harm, no foul." He brushed off my apology.

"How are you doing, though? There wasn't any lasting damage, was there? I was so worried… You weren't breathing. I didn't think that I made it back on time. Fucking Damon. His first instinct is murder everyone. Why? I'll never understand." I huffed. I tried to assess Mason for any injuries, but he looked good. He looked healthy. And damn, did he look good.

"I'm better than ever and I have you to thank for it. I think we're at an understanding now. The Lockwood's have been in Mystic Falls a lot longer than the Salvatore's and we're not going anywhere." He explained.

"Good. I'm happy to hear it." I told him. He beamed at me.

"That brings me to my next order of business. I want to take you out, to dinner, to thank you. I know that Carol wants to have you over to dinner at some point and Tyler has his own thing planned, but, I really would like to do this." He offered. I nodded.

"Yeah, okay," I agreed.

"Yeah?" He asked, like I was pulling some prank on him.

"Yeah, I'd like that. Let's face it – it's not like it's some hardship for you. You're easy on the eyes, and I'm thankful that you're still breathing." I replied.

"You think I'm attractive, huh?" He asked, still grinning. I blushed and looked at my feet.

"Yeah, yeah, I do. It's not like you don't already know how attractive you are." I retorted.

"That doesn't mean that I don't mind hearing it. And for the record, I think you're gorgeous. Anyone with eyes would agree with me there. I fully planned on at least talking with you further, before your friend tried to end me." He answered, before offering me his hand. I took it and looked up at him.

"He's not my friend. We're… acquaintances at best. He's close to my best friend, which means I have to tolerate him, for now." I sighed.

"How about we don't talk about him anymore tonight and we just enjoy ourselves?" He suggested.

"I think that sounds wonderful."


And we did. We went to The Grille for dinner, before walking around town. It was nice. We just talked and got to know each other. He was surprisingly easy to talk to. A girl could get used to this.

"I hope you know that I meant what I said. I am interested in you – very interested. I've never met anyone quite like you before, Bonnie." Mason admitted. He stopped walking and leaned against the side of a building. I was floored.

"I'm completely okay with that. You're gorgeous and I'm comfortable around you. I'm never this comfortable around people that I don't know." I let him know that I was just as interested.

"I'm going to kiss you – if that's okay with you." He told me, before moving closer. I sucked in a breath and tried to remember how to breathe.

"That's okay with me." I breathed. He touched his lips to mine and it felt like something inside of me was roaring to life. Once I tasted him, I didn't want to stop. He was addictive and it felt nice to be wanted. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and I moaned against him. He backed me against the wall and I clung to him. His hands wandered and I didn't want them to stop.

"Shit, Mase, you move fast." A voice sounded from behind us. I jumped and moved my lips from Mason's. He wasn't as quick to pull away as I was. He moved his lips to my jaw, before starting to suck on my neck. I gasped and dug my nails into his shoulders.

"Mason," I panted, to try and get his attention. He looked up at me and his eyes flashed amber. I bit my lip and tried to ignore how much of a turn on all of this was. He took a deep breath and I knew that he could smell just how turned on I was.

"This better be good, Tyler." Mason breathed, still looking me over. He looked like he wanted this just as much as I did.

"Uncle, I thought family shared?" Tyler asked, innocently enough. That got Mason is cool down, just a hair. His eyes turned back to their normal blue.

"It isn't really up to me, nephew. That's up to Bonnie." He responded. Wait. What? Is he serious? Are they serious? They want to share me? Like, just tonight? Or?

"What?" I gaped. Tyler smirked and Mason fought to hide one of his own.

"We both want you. I'm not opposed to sharing you with Tyler. He's my family – my blood. I know that he wouldn't hurt you and he wouldn't hurt me. He's just too chicken shit to say it." Mason confessed. I looked from Mason to Tyler and back to Mason. Neither of them moved. They're serious – dead serious.

"Why?" I asked, still trying to wrap my head around this.

"You're gorgeous and strong and kind. And we both want you." Tyler was the one to speak this time. I was awestruck. "I know you have the hots for Mason, but I've seen the way you look at me. You can't tell me that this is one-sided."

"I didn't say that it was… I just… how would that even work?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.

"Instead of dating one of us, you'd date both of us. Instead of being a couple, we'd be a trio." Mason explained.

"So, you've done this before?" I asked. They both shook their heads.

"No, but we're willing to try." Tyler replied. I nodded.

"Okay." I agreed, before I could overthink it. I don't know what I'm getting myself into, but I'm hoping that I don't regret it.
