A/N

I was watching Under Control last night and decided to extend the scene in Elena's bedroom (after the party) where Stefan is telling Elena that he's afraid of hurting her.

And a little bit of the end scene with Damon and Stefan. To me this explains how he succumbs to the blood that Damon left him, how he justifies giving in to his cravings.

"I'm afraid of what I could do to you." He tells her cringing over having to admit to her what he was feeling.

"I'm not. I'm not. Stefan, I'm not." Elena chats like a mantra in between kisses.

"I love you so much." So much hurt in his voice as he holds her to him.

"I love you too." Elena tells him back trying not to cry as she clings to him, fearful that he might disappear from her.

"I need to get out of here." Finally pulling away from her

"No. please stay." She begs him, pulling him to her.

"Elena." He protests as she leads him back over to her bed before removing his jacket and kissing him.

"Let me take your mind off the pain you're feeling." Continuing to kiss him and unbuttoning his shirt at the same time.

"This is not a good idea right now. I'm not in control." He tells her still trying to protect her. "You saw what happened here earlier today, when I almost lost control." Pointing to the wall he had thrown himself into.

"Shhh. Just let go, I know you won't hurt me." Reaching for his zipper and taking down his pants."I want to make you feel better."

Before she could even blink she was on her back, her dress raised over hips and her panties ripped away.

He was on top and inside her in the next second making her cry out from the suddenness of his penetration. He tries to slow down but the demon he has fought all day has been unleashed.

"Elena. I can't stop." His arms braced on each side of her as he starts pumping into her body.

"Then don't, just fuck me." Wrapping her legs around him and grasping onto his arms.

Maybe it was the animal way he was taking her or the fact that she had never seen him like this but it doesn't take long before her inner walls start to clench around him signaling her release.

Elena moves her hands around Stefan's neck, bringing his lips to hers.

He's close too, tearing his lips away from hers and kissing down her neck, the urge to bite starting to overwhelm him. She cries out her release and he lets himself go too. He feels the blood rushing to his face as he fights against the urge to bit her, at the last second he turns his head into his bicep and bites down.

Stefan feels slightly better after such a powerful release but that quickly fades as the guilt starts to seep in and he realizes what he's done. He hadn't even undressed her or made sure she was ready for him. He had just taken. And he had almost bitten her.

"God, are you ok?" His voice filled with remorse.

"Stefan, I'm fine. You didn't hurt me." Kissing his lips and soothing his face. He returns her kiss for a second before rolling off her and onto his back on her bed.

"I'm sorry." Feeling a total meltdown coming on. Sitting up, kissing her forehead. "I have to go home." He tells her as he starts pulling on his clothes.

"Stefan." She says, a little stunned that he's leaving but not wanting him to know how worried she is about him. "I love you."

"I love you too. I'll talk to you tomorrow, ok." He tells her, kissing her briefly on the lips before disappearing out the window.

"We have a problem Stefan and when I say problem I mean, global crisis. It seems uncle John has a..." Damon trails off as he sees the utter despair on his brothers face. "You don't look so good. It's different this time, the need is too strong. Of course it would be after all these years." Damon sets his glass down, trailing his finger down the side.

"Have a good night brother." Damon tells him, as he leaves the room.

Stefan walks over, picks up the glass of blood and slowly takes a drink. He feels calmer now, than he's felt in days. 'Yes, he could do this, he could have human blood, and Elena wouldn't have to know. He could have both things that his body craved. Human blood and Elena', he reasoned with himself. 'Why not. He could control this. He knew he could.'

This was intended to be a one shot. But I was thinking about continuing through Miss Mystic Falls and possibly even Bloodlines. Let me know what you think by PM or in reviews.

Also, I'm going to finish Existential Crisis, just trying to find a necessary muse or a plot bunny to do so.
