Title: To Kiss a Predator
Fandom/Char(s): The Vampire Diaries | D/E
Rating/Warnings: Angst. A kiss.
Summary: It's easier to say yes…
A/N: Just a drabble.
She knew he wasn't compelling her when he moved forward to kiss her. She told herself she only leaned into him out of fear; it's easier to say yes than no when it's a predator you're dealing with. The way Damon seemed to be mapping out her lips surprised her - tender and exploratory, as if he were learning how to kiss for the first time, or trying to memorize her taste.
Pulling back slowly, Elena felt a tug at her gut. Longing. Sudden loss. His look was serious and he didn't say anything to her gasp. Eyes wide, she could only eventually turn away.
