The knocking continued and I opened the door, still in my towel and my hair hanging around my shoulders in dripping strands. Kai was at the door. When I opened it he looked determined to tell me something but then his eyes traveled down my body and he seemed to have forgotten all he wanted to tell me. I closed the door so that only my face was visible, hiding myself behind the door. I was sure my cheeks were red with shame.

"Uughh" he began furrowing his brow and narrowing his eyes. He turned his head aside and rubbed the back of his neck. Then raised a hand "I'll umm… I'll come back in… in a while." He looked at me again and then away. "Okay." He walked away with a quick pace and almost flew down the stairs.

"Okay then" I whispered after I closed the door. My heart was beating fast and it was only partially because I knew that he was once a sociopath that slaughtered his family. I put a hand on my chest and leaned against the door. I could see my eyes wide in the mirror. I stood in front of it staring at my face. I shook my head violently and drops of water landed on the mirror. "Get yourself together, girl." I rubbed my face a few times and looked at it again. "You cannot give in to his charm and his jawline and his eyes… Stop it!" I yelled at myself and turned my back on the mirror. I put on my underwear and my bra. I threw on an old tee and I contemplated a pair of old sweats but then decided that it was too warm for that. I sat at the little desk and opened a drawer in which I held my necklace. The only thing that still reminded me of my family and where I came from. There was a knock on the door and I quickly closed the drawer.

"Only open the door if you are willing to talk to me." Kai said on the other side of the door. I stopped mid-pace and stared at the door. Was I willing to talk to him? Before I could muster and answer even to myself I was opening the door. "Oh, you opened." He sounded genuinely surprised.

"Yeah." I said not knowing how to respond and opened the door wider. "Come in." I said a bit cautious. He took a few fast steps as if afraid that I would change my mind and close the door in his face.

"It's very… artsy." He said looking around my room. Stefan and Damon had allowed me to stay in one of the spare bedrooms in the house since Bonnie seemed so found of me. Plus I believe I was starting to grow on Damon, even though he kept shooting sarcastic remarks my way. It wasn't artsy – it was messy. And not the cute kind of messy where my bed was made but it looked like someone had been lying on top of it with a blanket. Or like there were a few drawings on the desk and a few pencils rolling around them. It was a full-on clutter. Books were scattered everywhere and my clothes weren't even close to ordered in the open closet, my bed was unmade and the towel from earlier was on the chair.

"That's nice of you to say" he chuckled but didn't turn towards me but kept staring at the books. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Oh, you know this, that. World hunger, cancer, death, magic, your current attire." He shrugged his shoulders and finally turned to me. I looked down at the t-shirt that fell mid-thigh. I've worn dresses more revealing. "Let's start with you telling me what you have done to everyone?" he waved his hands pointing at me then himself then me again almost screaming.

"I… I haven't done anything to you. To any of you." I stepped back and tried not to look scared, though I was. He was one of the few people that managed to scare me shitless like he did.

"Yeah, okay. Then how do you explain this: Bonnie is having hard time trusting anyone, even her closest friends, let alone me, ever since she came back. Then you showed up and she suddenly opens up and pours out all emotions that she has been bottling up?" He walked towards me while he talked until he was a few inches away. "I don't believe it's a coincidence." He whispered. At any other moment if he was this close I'd feel afraid but now I was angry at him and attracted to him. All I wanted to do was reach and follow the line of his jaw but I suppressed that desire.

"And maybe Bonnie was too afraid that they might reject her. Maybe she was scared of what she had become while she was alone there. I just met her and that's exactly why she trusts me. I never knew her before you happened." I couldn't resist and hit him in the chest with an opened palm trying to push him away but he barely moved. "Maybe she was afraid of you" I hissed at him. I felt flames rising in me and I could feel my clenched fist getting hotter and so was my open palm so I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself. I began to lower my hand but he caught it and kept it in place.

"Then what are you doing to me. I don't like this emotion thing I'd like a refund." He whispered eyes staring into mine with pain and regret. "I apologize. I didn't mean to start a fight. At least I think I didn't." he let go of my hand and sighed. "There's just something about you that drives me up the fucking wall."

"Well, the feeling is mutual. I said and put my hands on my hips. "Is there anything else or you just came here to accuse me of treachery?"

"Yeah, there is, actually." He said and with a few paces he was so close I could feel the heat radiating from him. He placed a hand on my neck deliberately slow and kissed me. It wasn't like I expected him to kiss – it was slow and careful but I wanted more. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss. He tangled his hands in my hair and pulled it a bit. I moaned and felt him smirk. He pushed me back until my head hit the wall. I inhaled sharply and started laughing as a reaction to the pain. He looked at me a little worried and I kissed him again.

"I'm fine" I said and pulled him down to my eye level. One of his hands rested on the back of my head as a buffer between the wall and me and the other slid up my shirt. His hand was creasing my side and my back. He pulled it up and helped me take my shirt off, then he took a look at me and smirked again. He tilted his head and pressed his lips to my neck and went down slowly until he reached my collar bone. My hands roamed his stomach and chest restlessly as he made his way from my collar bone to my chest. He looked at me and pulled his shirt through his head throwing it on the floor next to mine. I hurried to undo his jeans while I could still see them and he shuffled out of them. He put his hands on my waist and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his hips, I could feel his erection press against me. He wrapped one hand around my waist to keep me in place while his other hand unclasped my bra and threw it on the floor. He walked towards the bed and knelt on it to place me there and instead of falling on me. He kissed me again and stood up. I arched my back feeling as if he took all the heat from my body with him. He reached for his jeans a got out his wallet. From inside it he retrieved a condom and started walking towards me again. I wiggled out of my underwear and threw it in a random direction, while he quickly took off his and rolled the condom on his swollen shaft. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him.

"I'm amazing, ain't I?" he said with a wide smile on his face.

"Shut up and come here." I said and extended and arm towards him.

"Yes ma'am." He said and joined me on the bed carefully placing himself between my legs and kissed me again. With one quick thrust he entered me and we both moaned and he stood still for a moment before he started moving agonizingly slow in me.

"Kai" I moaned and hid my face in his neck gently biting and sucking on it "faster" I whispered into his skin and he obeyed with a groan as he started moving faster and deeper. I wrapped my legs around his hips and dug my heels into his thighs. He was supporting his weight on one hand and his other hand was on my waist restricting my movement while I desperately tried to angle myself.

"Shh, love" she whispered and kissed me. "We'll get there" he kissed me again and thrust in me faster and deeper than before. I let out a scream I tried to bite on and he moaned. "Again" he said and repeated the move I let out a louder scream. He let go of my waist and picked up a fast tempo and I dig my nails in his back and angled my hips so that he was hitting the spot. It didn't take me long after that to go over the edge feeling as if fire spread inside me as well as outside.

"Kai!" I drove my hands down his back leaving trails with my nails. The contractions of my walls made him cum as well and he let out a loud moan into my neck. He then collapsed next to me, sweat running down his face. He took my chin in his hand and kissed me passionately. He got up and went to the bathroom, while I put on my tee and my underwear and picked his up from the ground. He walked in the room and stood still, eyes wide open. I followed his gaze to the bed. "Oh, my." I said silently not knowing what else to say.

"That's an understatement." He let out a laugh and reached for my hand and gave it a gentle kiss. "Did you do this? Cuz it sure as hell wasn't me."

"Well -" I remembered how it felt like fire and bit my lower lip. "I think so" he laughed a bit louder this time and pulled me to him. He kissed the top of my head and I hid my face in his chest.

"It's not that bad – it's just a bit… um, charred. I think it would make it." He climbed up and crooked his finger at me. "Come here"

"This was one hell of a fight we had." I said as I settled in the crook of his arm. "Do you fight with everyone like this?" he pretended to think about it.

"Well, with Damon things usually go a little different, but with Bonnie…" he made pause and pulled me closer to him. I slapped his chest and he let out a sharp breath. "Ouch" he said pretending to be hurt. "I'm joking, I'm joking. Jeez." He wrapped his other hand around me as well and put it behind my head.

"What are we gonna do tomorrow?" I asked through a yawn. "Do we act like we did before or…?" I didn't finish my sentence because I didn't actually know how to end it.

"I don't think we can act very different." He said and reached over to the nightstand where a switch for the lights was. He flicked it and returned to my side pulling me even closer than before. "But I suppose I'd at least like to kiss you more often." He placed a kiss on my head and whispered "Now go to sleep. We'll take care of everything in the morning." The last thing I remember was how sweet he smelled.
