Nothing compares to you

I don't recall how it happened.

One minute we were venting our frustration at each other over losing Stefan the next we were coming towards each other, her reaching for me, me reaching for her.

Her arms wrapping around me, clinging to me for the comfort she so desperately needed, that I was so desperate to give her.

If ever she was broken I wanted to be the one to always fix her, the one to put her together again. The one to always keep her safe.

We both felt the loss of Stefan the emptiness it brought, but time had already partially healed the wounds and we both knew it was time to just let him go….

Pulling her closer into my chest, I rested my forehead against hers savouring the closeness of her like I had so many other times, wishing it could be like this for always.

She gave a small smile as a stray tear slid down her cheek, I thumbed it away and kissed the wet trail it left behind. I felt her sharp intake of breath and the small shiver that shuddered through her body the moment my lips touched her skin. When she tilted her head, and touched her lips to mine in a sweet gentle whisper of a kiss, it felt like my undead heart had been sparked back to life. Her fingers nervously stroked my cheek in a featherlike caress. I stared into the beautiful depths of her brown eyes silently asking the question my lips daren't speak out loud.

Stay with me tonight Elena…..

Her eyes gazed longingly back into mine as she murmured yes before pressing her lips to mine again. This time I couldn't hold back, I wanted her under my skin, all of her, to be mine and mine alone. Fisting my fingers through her hair I tipped her head back drowning myself in the softness of her pliant mouth as she bravely gave herself up to me for the first time, allowing herself to feel the feelings she had fought so hard to keep buried under the surface. My mouth trailed her mouth, her cheeks, the curve of her neck tasting every bit of skin that was possible. Soft breathless moans swam in my ears, her murmuring my name over and over sending me further to the point of no return. Her hands roamed my back, sliding over my shoulders, pulling at me, drawing me into her as if she was afraid I would disappear."I will never leave you Lena" I whispered in between the soft delicate kisses I places down her neck and collar bone. "Never"

She cried out at my words, clawing her hands under my shirt tracing her fingers across my skin with wild abandonment. With all the restraint I could muster I gently moved back from her, feeling her soft moans protest from the loss of contact.

Offering my hand to her, I waited for her to intwine her fingers with mine giving me her acceptance to take her to the point of no return, for both of us.
