SHORT PREFACE FROM CROSS OVER STORY

(This short scene is taking place at the Lockwood mansion pies contest.)

Stefan was standing on the back porch of the Lockwood mansion a glass in his hand when he got a glimpse of Caroline running in his direction with tears running on her face, he dropped his glass on the table.

"They took him Stefan! They took him and left with him!" Caroline screamed to Stefan in pure desperation.

"Caroline calm down, who took Tyler?" Stefan asked putting a hand on her shoulder, allowing the other one to caress her hair in an attempt to calm her down.

"I saw Jules….and….and a bunch of men that I have never saw before. He was fighting, but unable to free himself Stefan." Caroline explained.

"What else can you tell me?" Stefan added taking her face in his hands.

They were talking about Richmond City…Stefan we can't leave him with them!" Caroline said with tears in her eyes.

Stefan instinctively brought Caroline in his arms.

"Shh….We won't Caroline! We won't!" Stefan replied. "I promise you, we'll found him!"

Alaric approached them.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Stefan gently pushed Caroline out of his arms.

"I'm leaving with Caroline." Stefan explained.

"What? Why?" Alaric asked.

"Tyler has just been kidnap by Jules and some men. They're heading north. I will go with Caroline." Stefan explained.

"Don't go on a suicidal mission Stefan, take Damon with you or take me!" Alaric pleaded.

"I would, but there's Elena and I prefer to know she's safe at the house with him and Rose and you need to be with Jenna especially with Elijah who's snooping near her these days." Stefan explained putting one of his hand on Alaric's shoulder, adding. "Could you explain to Elena, and tell her that I love her."

"I will." Alaric promised looking at them walking towards the mansion exit.

Chapter 1

"Road trip to Richmond"

Stefan had parked his truck in front of Caroline's house almost an hour ago. Prior to this, they had already stopped by the boarding house to pick up some spare clothes and an icebox for blood supplies. And now he was impatiently striking his fingers on the stirring wheel, waiting for her. "Where in hell are you Caroline?" He thought.

She finally appeared in his sight, opened the back door and dropped three big fashion bags on the back seat, before taking a place beside him.

"I'm ready Stefan!" Caroline enthusiastically said while turning her body to look at him with a big smile on her face. "What's next?"

"Is there somebody coming with you Caroline?" Stefan wondered, his eyes wide open, still looking in his car mirror at all the bags on the back seat.

"No! You said that only you and I would go to free Tyler!" Caroline replied surprise by his question.

"Why are you bringing your whole wardrobe with you then?" He sarcastically asked her.

"I'm not!" Caroline started outraged, crossing her arms on her chest and adding "I just want to be prepared for any case of clothes emergency!" She continued as a logical explanation.

Stefan turned his head to his side window to laugh without her noticing him, starting the car at the same time.

"Well….We're going on a road trip Caroline, I'm guessing that you won't need the three quarter of the things you just brought." Stefan gently explained to her.

"Well, we can't all live with only hoodie sweaters on our backs Stefan Salvatore." Caroline replied with her hand in front of her mouth to hide the growing, unstoppable laugh coming from her mouth.

"Ah…..That's funny!" Stefan said with a sarcastic grin on his face while pulling a strand of hair from Caroline's head.

"Hey! That's not fair!" Caroline replied laughing and slapping his hand as a playful revenge.

Stefan smiled and got back to his driving. Caroline was always a breath of fresh air in his life. She reminded him so much of Lexi, who he was still missing desperately. But Caroline had a different way about her; she was always putting him in a great mood, and was able to make him smile and laugh in an instant.

"I'm joking you know…about your style….I…. I always liked you Stefan!" Caroline said smiling at him.

Stefan took a glimpse at Caroline still looking at him.

"You mean the big crush you had on me when I arrived at Mystic Fall?" Stefan sarcastically asked Caroline keeping his eyes on the route, but still smiling.

"Well…" Caroline started blushing intensively, and adding. "It was not a big crush; it was more an acknowledgement of your good looks!"

Stefan started to laugh once again.

"I like you too Caroline!" He replied to her.

Caroline looked at him and smiled, before turning her head to her side window. Stefan had always been there for her since her transformation, and she was so thankful for that. With her difficult on-off relationship with Matt, and the awkward position she had put herself in with Tyler, he had been her rock these last few weeks. It was strange for her to imagine her life without Stefan Salvatore in it. But, more so, she was strangely and more aware of her growing physical attraction and mix feelings toward him. Earlier in the day, when he had taken Elena in his arms in the Lockwood's powder room, she had felt a glimpse of jealousy. Of course, she knew that she was not entitled to be having these romantic feelings for him, more so because of Matt and her strong friendship with Elena.

"How long will it take for us to make it to Richmond City Stefan?" Caroline asked.

"We should be there tomorrow around noon." Stefan replied to her, putting his hands on hers in a gentle touch, creating Goosebumps all over her arms. "You should rest Caroline!"

"I'm too afraid for Tyler to rest Stefan, I'm afraid of what they could do to him!" Caroline stressfully replied.

"You're a good friend to Tyler, That's one of the qualities I truly like about you; you would die before one of your friends could suffer." Stefan said looking at Caroline intensively in the eyes still keeping his hand on hers.

Caroline nodded her head in affirmation.

"You would too Stefan Salvatore! You would die for any of us." Caroline said, bringing his hand to her mouth and gently giving it a sweet kiss as a silent thankful gesture.

Stefan looked at her intensively in the eyes, before smiling and gently pulling his hand away from her.

"I'm sorry!" Caroline said while blushing intensively. "I did not mean to…."

"No need to apologize Caroline!" Stefan replied while smiling at her.

Caroline turned her head once again to her side window, resting against it, and closed her eyes. She had to stop this nonsense about Stefan! He was the vampire boyfriend of one of her best friend! What was wrong with her for God sake! It did not take long for her to fall asleep, completely exhausted by the previous events of the day and her turmoil regarding Stefan.

Stefan noticed that Caroline had fallen asleep. He smiled at the sight of her, his lips dropping slightly as he thought of the past few months' events; life had not been fair to Caroline! She shouldn't have been turned because of the selfishness of that bitch Katherine! He felt that he was responsible of Caroline now! That he needed to be there for her. In between his thought, he looked down at his hand on the stirring wheel, he could still feel his hand skin tingling at the exact spot she had put her lips to earlier and kissed him in such a sweet way.

They had been driving for a few hours, with Stefan constantly turning his head to Caroline to check she was ok. She was still asleep, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that she was not comfortable, her head being thrown from side to side, babbling incoherently as she slept. He decided that they needed to make a stop to catch couple of hours of sleep, in a real bed! They needed their strength for tomorrow…Not knowing what was in front of them! In a way, he preferred to have brought Caroline with him, rather than Damon. Damon was an act think later type of guy, which more times than one had put them in more danger. Caroline was way more resourceful than people gave her credit for! In a way, they were the perfect pair for this rescuing situation.

He parked his car in front of a side route motel. Well…He thought smiling, motel was a not the right word to describe what was in front of them. Yes, the sign Motel was flashing with big colorful lights on top of the windscreen, but any resemblance with an actual one ended there. And he knew already that she wouldn't love that a bit!

"Caroline!" Stefan said giving her a small push on the shoulder with his hand to wake her up.

"Mmh…." Caroline whispered in a semi-conscious sleep.

"Wake up sweetie!" Stefan insisted.

"Where are we?" Caroline asked while looking around her.

"We should get a couple hours of sleep in a real bed before getting back on the road." Stefan explained to her.

"Where would we do that?" Caroline asked Stefan; mortified at what she was seeing in front of her, and almost afraid of his answer.

Caroline turned and looked at him with her eyes wide open.

Stefan smiled and signified with an eyes look and a nodding of his head to Caroline that he wanted to stay at that motel.

"What? No! Stefan! It looks like the motel from the horror movie Vacancy! You know the one where that couple arrived at the motel, which by the way looks exactly like this one, and there are maniac killers, and the couple is trying to escape, and …" Caroline was frantically babbling non-stop to Stefan.

"Caroline!" Stefan softly screamed at her, grabbing her arms and trying to hide his amusement. "Not going to happen! And…" he held his hand up flashing his ring "Vampires sweetie, I don't think we need to be worry about maniac killers!"

"Oh!" Caroline said ashamed by her own stupid behavior. "Sorry, sometimes…I forget…"

"Hey…Hey…."Stefan started whiletaking her chin in his hand, and making her look at him "You never need to say that you're sorry to me, o.k.?" He continued his hand still on her chin. "I know that sometimes you forget that you're vampire Caroline, I know! Because…Because sometimes I forget that I am one too."

"You do?" Caroline asked surprised.

"Yes! But don't tell o.k.?" Stefan simply answered smiling, caressing one of her cheeks.

"Well then, we could try to sleep a couple of hours in….in there!" Caroline said to him with a sour grin on her face.

Stefan smiled at her and opened his door.

"Up we go then!"Stepping out of his car and closing the door behind him.

"Oh God, Please don't let there be creepy little creatures under the bed in this dump!" Caroline said to herself with a cross sign in front of her chest before stepping out of the car.

Stefan had been standing near the car for a couple of minutes now, his small backpack on one of his shoulders, turning his head from left to right with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Caroline! Could you please hurry up?" he asked her.

Caroline leaned across the backseat searching frantically for something in one of her bags.

"I could have sworn that my blow dryer was in this bag, so I could have just brought that bag inside with me, but it must be somewhere in the other two, and I don't know which one?" She said more to herself than to Stefan.

Stefan stroked both of his eyes with one of his hands before approaching Caroline, gently pushing her out of the way, and taking two of her bags in his hands with him.

"O.K. then, we'll take them all!" Stefan said to her while nodding his head for her to hurry up.

She took the last bag with her and closed the car door.

"Maybe they won't have any vacancy for us?" Caroline said to Stefan.

Stefan stopped walking, turned around and looked at her surprised.

"Do you see any other cars other than mine in the parking lot?" Stefan asked her.

"Well, no. But…" She started.

"Then hurry up." Stefan replied walking into what seemed to be the reception.

They both entered the small reception area that at first sight seemed to be completely deserted.

"Hello!" Stefan screamed. "Somebody is here?"

"O.K. Stefan" A scared Caroline said while keeping in close bodily contact with Stefan "See there is nobody in here, let's go now." She asked him while pulling at the fabric of his sweater trying to make him leave with her.

"Just wait Caroline!" He replied.

They heard a chair move on the floor, the noise coming from the back, behind the counter.

"O.K. Stefan let's go!" Caroline said.

"No! There's obviously somebody in that room Caroline!"

"What can I do for you folks?" A voice asked them.

They both startled hard not knowing from who and from where it was coming from.

"Down here!" The voice replied.

Stefan approached the counter and took a glimpse behind it to see a dwarf man waving at him.

"Oh…Sorry, we didn't see you behind there. Hi, how are you?" Stefan asked the petite height man while smiling at him.

"Oh, no worries….I get that often, let me just grab my small stepladder" The man replied.

Caroline was watching the scene from behind Stefan, with wild open eyes.

"O.K., now that I can see you folks! What can I do for you?" The dwarf man asked them.

"Well…If you could be so kind to let us have two bedrooms" Stefan asked.

"Two?" The little man asked surprised. "You're not together folks?"

"Of course we are!" Caroline replied taking Stefan's right hand in hers. "Now don't be silly love." Caroline continued, her eyes widening to Stefan giving him a warning to go along with her story, and asking the man. "It will be a room with two beds."

"No can do!" The short man answered smiling at them both.

"Why not?" Stefan questioned.

"Because…It's a bit embarrassing…But this beautiful motel used to be back in the days …." The man started clearing his throat. "An entertainment motel, if you see what I mean! So there are only bedrooms with King Size bed in them." He finished with a blink of an eye.

"Excuse us for a second!" Caroline said to the short man while grabbing one of Stefan's arm and bringing him to the left corner of the room.

"First, I won't stay in here one minute more; this place gives me the creep! Second, it used to be a motel for ladies with small virtue to do you know….Stefan! Third, it used to be a motel for ladies with small virtue to do their things Stefan!" She repeated herself, placing more emphasis the second time around "And fourth, don't you leave my side for a second Stefan Salvatore!" Caroline whispered to him in pure desperation, creating an urge inside Stefan to laugh at loud at her nervousness.

"Calm down Caroline! It used to be that kind of motel, so what…We're not going to buy the place! Now it is probably a truck driver motel!" Stefan said trying to calm her down. "This motel is located on a high way, so guessing I'm not far from the truth!"

Stefan turned around to look at the man again, and walked back to the counter.

"Sorry, my f…" Stefan started.

"Girl friend" Caroline added, cutting Stefan in his sentence, and taking once again his hand in hers.

Stefan gave her an annoying look, but she did not budge of her position.

"After what you just told us, my girl friend is a bit concerned about the room maintenance of your friendly motel." Stefan said to the man smiling.

"No need, Angela who used to be …a…entertainer here, is taking care of the cleaning now…You'll see; everything is in order, clean sheets and all! It is mostly a truck driver motel now. But you're lucky it's Saturday, so you'll be the only folks here!" The man explained to them. "It's not the Hilton but it does the job! I'll make a deal with you folks, I give you the key, you'll go check it out, if you found the room at your convenience you come back to pay me, or you wait till morning…You seems like a honest couple, so I trust you."

"Caroline?" Stefan said whilenodding his head in direction of the short man.

"Yes! O.K." Caroline said out loud to Stefan. "I'm sorry for my uncertainties, and… We'll take it, thank you!"

After walking towards the number 74, Stefan opened the bedroom door and was sliding his hand on the inside wall to find the light switch, inviting Caroline to enter the room before him with a hand gesture.

"See it's not that bad after all!" Stefan said while closing the door and turning around to look at her and the room.

Caroline was standing in the middle of the bedroom, her eyes wide open, her bag at her feet, and a hand on her mouth trying to not burst into laughter.

Stefan dropped Caroline's two other bags and his backpack on the floor, he looked at the room decor with an open mouth and both of his hands on his hips.

Everything was red, the bedspread, the chair, the pillow, the curtains, and the carpet, reminisces of the place's past. A full mirror wall behind the bed was showing clearly both of their reflections, they looked at each other in it, smiled and raised their heads together in unison to look at the ceiling, and as they both thought, the ceiling was also covered with a mirror.

"Oh my God" Caroline said before bursting into laughter with Stefan.

"Unbelievable!" Stefan said "You have to see it!"

"Why? You never saw that kind of decor before?" Caroline asked as an obvious tease.

"Not even in 1864 Caroline!" Stefan answered still laughing.

He approached the king size bed, teared open the bedspread to look at the sheets.

"They are clean Caroline!" He said to her.

Caroline approached the bed and look.

"Yes! And they are red also!" She replied with a smile on her face.

"Yep, but we're lucky they are in cotton not silk!" Stefan added with a sarcastic smile on his face and a winked eye addressed to her.

"Right!" Caroline answered still smiling at him. "Thank you!" She added.

"For what?"Stefan asked.

"For coping with my silliness, for knowing before me what I truly need to hear to be reassured." She said locking her eyes with his.

Stefan was for the first time since they met, looking at Caroline in a different way. The dim light of the room was reflecting on her blond hair, making it look shinier, her blue eyes were sparkling like stars in a dark night, her laughter flushed cheeks and swollen lips had probably a good resemblance to the sight of her after love making. Stefan shook his head trying to stop the nonsense filling his head, and started to walk towards the door.

Caroline was surprised seeing him leaving her side so abruptly.

"You're always welcome Caroline!" He said to her smiling, continuing. "I'll go pay the man, and then I'll call Damon to check on Elena and tell him where we are. Oh… And bring back the ice box with the blood supply we need to eat."

"Oh right! Course! Like always you thought of everything Stefan." Caroline said while nervously rubbing her two hands together "You won't mind if I take a quick shower before getting to bed, do you?" She asked, while realizing that she would be sharing a bed with Stefan Salvatore, even if the bed was enormous!

"Go ahead, I'll be back in a while" Stefan answered before closing the door behind him.

"Stupid me!" Caroline thought throwing punches with her closed fist on her forehead. "He must have thought that I was retarded with my stupid comments!"

She opened one of her bags and took her cosmetic bag and a pair of clean black lace panties, forgetting to search and take her P.J's in the bathroom with her.

She entered the room, and no surprises there she thought smiling! The walls were in a darker shade of red, but red nevertheless. Clean red towels were placed on the top of the red sink cabinet. The shower was old and a bit rusty, but the ceramic on the side walls and floor seemed cleaned to her. She undressed herself, and entered the shower with her bottle of shampoo in her hand.

Stefan paid the room fee at reception before stepping outside and closing the door behind him. He walked towards his truck rummaging in his jeans for his cell phone, dialing the Salvatore's house number as he reached his truck.

"Yep" Damon answered.

"It's me" Stefan replied taking the ice box and closing the back door. "I decided to stop to catch a couple hours of sleep at a highway motel. Caroline was exhausted."

"It makes sense brother!" Damon replied to him.

"Is Elena there?" Stefan asked.

"Yep!" Damon answered. "Your boyfriend wants to speak to you" Stefan heard Damon say to Elena, but without hearing any answers from her part. "Nope, She don't want to speak to you brother, sorry!" Damon sarcastically answered.

"Damon, don't play that stupid childish game again with me?" Stefan warned him. "I could easily call her cell phone"

"Hey! Not my fault if your girlfriend seems to be …let say attached to other duties at the moment! And I don't think that she would be able to answer you. Sending you my love and her love also of course, say hi to Barbie for me would you? Bye now!" Damon said before ending the conversation with his brother.

Stefan closed his cell phone, a mad grin on his face, turning his head from right to left in pure frustration. There was no easy way of dealing with Damon, that he knew, but with what he had witnessed between them a few weeks ago playing on his mind, doubt was starting to grow inside of him. He trusted Elena, but Damon on another hand, was a whole other story!

Caroline was enjoying the warm water sliding on her naked body; she was rinsing the shampoo off her hair and sliding her hands on her body to clean it at the same time. Suddenly she looked down at her feet, her vision blurry from the shampoo and saw what seemed to be an enormous black spot crawling at an approximate distance of three inches from her. She nervously passed her hand several times on her eyes to help clear her sight, to finally see at her feet an enormous black cockroach crawling near her. She started to scream from the top of her lungs, while jumping around one foot to the other in the shower.

Stefan was approaching the front door of the bedroom when he heard Caroline screaming. It took him three seconds to open the door, throw the ice box on the bed, and open the bathroom door, to find Caroline jumping around in the shower like a crazy person.

"What the fuck Caroline?" Stefan asked her.

"At my feet, at my feet Stefan, please get rid of it!" Caroline screamed to him.

It took Stefan couple of seconds to figure out what was the cause of Caroline's scream, a small cockroach crawling its own way to the bathroom floor. Stefan stroked his eyes with one of his hand in pure denial! But yes, no doubt about it, that was the reason of him rushing like a maniac to her side to save her! He scrunched up some toilet paper and bent down to the floor, taking the small insect in the paper before throwing it in the toilet and flushing it.

Caroline was leaning completely naked on the back wall.

"Is it dead?" She asked.

"Yep!" Stefan answered while looking at her with a mad expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, I simply can not stand these crawling creatures, and this one was a monster!" She said, still not realizing that she was standing completely naked in front of Stefan Salvatore!

"Caroline! You almost gave me a freaking heart attack, even if this is impossible for me as a vampire!" Stefan screamed angrily at her. "With Jules and her men on the run with Tyler I had no way of knowing what was happening" He continued while passing a nervous hand in his hair.

"I'm so, so sorry!" She replied, calming Stefan down, and making him regret his outburst at her.

"That's o.k. Caroline! Just forget it!" He replied to her with a smile and a hand gesture, suddenly stopping and realizing the gorgeous naked woman who was standing in front of him.

The bathroom ambiance switched, they were looking at each other very intensively in the eyes. Caroline suddenly realized that she was standing naked in front of Stefan Salvatore! And she was completely frozen by his sensual look. Stefan slowly dropped his eyes to her shoulders, sliding them after to her firm breasts, so round, full and perfect he thought, that his own hands would cup them so deliciously, her nipples showing their standing hard positions in an erotic invitation for him to suck them in his mouth, her beautiful round hips, the small trimmed trail of blond pubic hair. This naked sight of her was all it took for him to feel his manhood growing hard under his jeans, stretching the fabric intensively, and a known bestial desire to make her his by savagely pushing her on the bathroom shower ceramic walls. Caroline seeing the predator look in Stefan's eyes, suddenly put one of her arms across her breasts to hide them and her other hand in front of her Venus month as a late gesture of protecting her intimacy.

"Stefan….Co…Could you please pass me a towel." She managed to ask.

He turned his sight to the sink cabinet where a couple of body towels were, he took one in his hand before approaching Caroline in the shower, still looking at her intensively in the eyes. He opened the large towel and wrapped her body in it while stocking her arms to dry her body.

"You're o.k.?" He whispered near her wet hair.

"Yes! I just feel silly and stupid." She replied nervously unable to raise her head up to look at him, and knowing perfectly that his closeness was the only reason for her nervousness!

He took her in his arms, rubbing her back more vigorously.

"You're not silly or stupid…Feeling Better now?" He asked while putting his chin on top of her head.

"Yes, much better thank you!" She replied to him closing her eyes and letting her head fall on Stefan's shoulder.

A second later, Stefan pushed her gently away from him. Turned around and left the bathroom without even a word of explanation, simply closing the door behind him. She stood still for a moment, before taking the large towel in her hands and wrapping herself in it.

Stefan was walking nervously from one side of the bedroom to the other side, passing nervous hand in his hair, not able to control his anger! What in hell was wrong with him? He had never felt that sexual bestial urge to possess a woman that way before! Yes Katherine had been his mentor in his early years; her sexual appetite would ever be in competition with anybody…But him? Never! He was almost afraid of himself now, thinking that he could have hurt Caroline in some kind of way. And the bulge in his jeans right now was a physical reminder of his sexual turmoil. He needed to possess her like a damn animal! And the images coming to him at the moment were way too graphic to help him! He was afraid….Afraid of himself….Because these feelings reminded him too much of his monstrous ripper vampire phase! And worst! The thought of Elena had not crossed his mind the last minutes that he was with Caroline in the bathroom. He stroked his eyes once again in an attempt to calm himself down, before hearing Caroline stepping out of the bathroom with her red towel wrapped around her breasts.

"I…" She started while approaching her bags on the bed. "…forgot my P.J's" She explained to him searching nervously in her bags without looking at him.

His vampire nature emerged from inside of him, he took her by the waist, pushing them at high speed into the left wall of the bedroom, his body on hers, tearing her towel away from her naked body and throwing it on the floor. He grabbed her bottom firmly and elevated her up the wall, angrily putting his lips on hers.

"Title of the next chapter: Red burning desires. Thank you all for reading me, and please do comment!"
