A/N: I don't know if I am going to make this any longer than it is. I just wanted to write a bit more because Damon and Elena are addicting. I mean I know there are many places I could take it but I have such a bad track record with multi chapter stories. I don't know.

Elena's slender fingers traced the hard muscles of Damon's stomach. She smiled to herself as she felt them expand and contract underneath her fingertips. Here she was, lying on a motel room floor half covered by the bedspread Damon had pulled off of the bed to cover them. There weren't rose petals or candle light but as far as Elena was concerned, none of that was needed. All she needed was Damon who had her wrapped up in his arms and was placing soft kisses on her bare shoulder, much different from the hungry needy kisses that came before. Elena couldn't exactly describe how she felt but whatever it was she knew it was perfect. It was right. She had never felt this way before.

She rolled over on top of Damon and rested her chin on his chest. He reached out and tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear. He looked into her dark brown eyes and Elena knew what he was thinking.

She began peppering his chest with kisses and stopped when she reached his mouth. "I don't regret what just happened." She told Damon. "I would never take it back."

Damon searched her eyes and he knew she wasn't lying. He pressed his fingers into the small of her back and placed a trail of hot kisses along her jaw before pressing her to him like she would vanish at any moment like an apparition.

"I'm not going anywhere." Elena laughed, but Damon's grip on her didn't loosen.

There was a long stretch of silence before Damon spoke. "We will find him Elena. I promise."

"I know." Elena said.

She still wanted Stefan back, safe, back to his old self, and back in her life but she honestly did not know how it was going to be when and if it finally happened, what with her newfound relationship with Damon that she didn't want to ignore and sweep away like it was nothing. The truth was, Damon was everything to her. She wouldn't have been able to survive the past two months if it hadn't been for him. She wasn't going to lie to herself anymore.

"Despite the dead end back there I do have another lead. We can leave in the morning..."

Elena silenced Damon with a kiss. "Let's not think about tomorrow right now. Let's not think about the future, just... live in the moment."

Damon's trademark smirk spread across his gorgeous face and his crystal blue eyes sparkled with mischief and delight. "I'm really starting to rub off on you aren't I?"

Elena ground down against Damon and he let out a strangled moan. She freely laughed as Damon rolled them back over and stared placing open mouthed kisses down her taut stomach. Elena arched up into Damon as his fingers caressed her inner thigh.

She loved him, their was no question about that and she was going to make damn sure he knew it.

THE END? (I honestly don't know)
