Elena laid down in the tub. Every muscle and joint was hurting and she needed to relax. She closed her eyes to get some peace. She was still really tense from what happened with the tomb vampires and was still kicking herself in the head for what happened with Stefan. She just wanted to get her mind off of it all so she went to her happy place: Damon. She thought of the way his fingers lightly touched the outlines of her body. The way his soft lips captured hers and how amazing it felt when he was inside her. Her hands began to slide down her body subconsciously and she began rubbing herself, when suddenly the phone rang. She jumped up splashing water everywhere and grabbed her phone.

"Hello?" she said in an annoyed voice.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything again"

"As a matter of fact you are. What do you want Damon?"

"Relax kitten, I just want to know how you're doing"

"I'm fine, now if that's all..."

"That's not all…" he said, sounding more serious than a second ago. Elena sighed. "What is it?" she asked with more compassion in her voice.

"Do you regret it?"

Silence.

"I knew it!" he said in a semi-angry tone.

"No Damon, I don't regret it"

He was confused. Why did she have to be so complicated? And more importantly why did he care what she thought? Damon Salvatore does not care. He was being like Stefan and the thought of it made him sick. He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of her voice.

"I don't regret it, I just feel so guilty. After all that he has done for me I pay him back by sleeping with his brother. I feel dirty."

He was going to make a joke but that was just too easy.

"Damon, come over?"

And she heard him hang up the phone. Ouch. How rude, she thought. She began to go back to her state of relaxation although it was difficult as she was muttering insults underneath her breath. After a minute when she finally calmed down and closed her eyes, she heard a sudden whoosh sound. She turned her head to see Damon standing there.

"Ummm knock much?" she said as she blushed, moving her hands to cover her breasts.

"Oh my dear sweet Elena…I've seen it all before, remember? You. Me. Or better yet me inside you?" He said that last part right next to her ear and she shivered.

He was so sweet and passionate with her in those hours that they were captured. Why did he have to change back to the insensitive asshole after all that? It annoyed her. She grabbed for her towel and wrapped herself in it. She couldn't even remember why she asked him to come, but now that he was acting like his old self she felt extremely vulnerable in his presence. She tried to walk past him but he stood there like a statue, staring her down. She moved left and he moved left. She moved right and he moved right. She sighed. He titled her chin up and planted the softest kiss on her lips. She then remembered why she told him to come. He made her feel this way. Like there was no one in the world but them. She brought her hands to his face and brought his forehead to hers while both of them had their eyes closed.

"Why do you do this to me? You make me feel like I'm the only thing that matters to you, and the next minute you're back to being…" she couldn't think of a way to finish her sentence.

He kissed her again, with more force this time and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He broke the kiss. "I think the real question is why do you do this to me?" He moved his lips to her neck and began to plant butterfly kisses up and down her neck. "You drive me crazy you know that?" he said in between kisses in a low, almost whispered voice. She was feeling wet, and it wasn't from the bath that she just took. His hand moved to where her towel was held in place and he undid the tiny knot, causing the towel to fall down, exposing a very naked Elena. He stepped back to look at her again, he could really get used to seeing her like this. He lifted her up and she wrapped around her legs around his waist and kissed him passionately. Suddenly she stopped and looked at him. "No fair" she voiced out. He gave her a confused look. "What's not fair?" and he resumed kissing her without letting her answer. After a few seconds she broke the kiss again and he let out a frustrated growl. "I'm fully naked and you're still completely dressed. My eyes deserve to see some goods too you know?"Damon laughed and put her back on the ground. He wondered how she was ever with a guy like Stefan. She was full of fire and had to hide that when she was with him. This was the real Elena, 100% of her. She didn't have to hold anything back with Damon. She felt free to be imperfect, to be angry, to be jealous, to be selfish, and to be all the small things that made her the most fascinating woman that Damon had ever encountered in his long life-time. He took off his jacket and shirt as Elena began to take off his pants. She got on her knees in front of him and pulled down his black Armani boxers, freeing his now very hard member. She looked up at him with lust-full eyes, "mmm…now this more like it" as she wrapped her hand around him. Damon exhaled loudly as she took him in her mouth. Her soft tongue lapping and sucking at the top of his head, making him thrust his hips forward and making her take more of him in her mouth. She didn't mind and went to work on his shaft, licking him up and down and making him moan out in pleasure. Her talented tongue had him going crazy and he removed the hair that was covering her face and watched as she relaxed her throat and took all of him in.

"Elena… I'm gonna cum"

She ignored and continued to go up and down on his shaft. He took it as a green light and came in her mouth. She sucked up all his juices and licked up any remains of it. She licked her lips and let out a "Mmm" as she looked at him again with those glazed eyes. He was instantly hard again, one of the many perks of being a vampire. He decided that she deserved a reward for the extremely satisfying task that she had just completed. Just as he went to join her on the ground her phone rang causing them both to stare at it for a moment before she answered.

"Elena…" Stefan's voice sounded hoarse and he sounded like he was crying.

"Stefan! Thank god. Are you alright? I'm so sorry. I didn't get a chance to explain. Can you please meet me tonight at the Grill?"

"NO!"

She was silent and tears began to fill her eyes.

"You shouldn't be around me Elena, not when I'm like this."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I knew I wouldn't be able to get you and Damon out of there with my usual strength. And the longer I waited, the lower your chances of survival"

"What do you mean Stefan? I don't get what you mean…"

Damon knew exactly what he meant. He was of course listening to the entire conversation.

"I drank human blood Elena. I couldn't find any of Damon's blood bags so I went out and there was this girl…"

Elena swallowed thickly. "What happened Stefan?" she asked in a serious voice.

"I began to feed on her and I was going to stop! I really was! But I was hungry and had endured hours of torture and needed a lot of blood and…"

"Oh my god…" Elena cried, holding her hand over her mouth. Damon took the phone from her and went out of the bathroom. Elena sat on the ground naked and continued to sob. She heard Damon talking but couldn't hear him well enough to hear what he was saying. He came back in and started to get dressed.

"I have to go. But I'll call you later okay?" and bent down to kiss her forehead.

"I'm coming with you"

"You don't even know where I'm going. And no you aren't"

"You're going to help Stefan. You'll need me to help him calm down" she said as she wiped away the tears and began to get dressed.

"He's not stable Elena, I'm not going to risk your well being because of my stupid brother" he spat. "I'll be fine" she said firmly. Damon looked at her. The stubborn little minx. "Fine, but you have to do as I say. You have no idea what he's capable of." Elena nodded and they both headed to the door.

Reviews make me happy :)
