Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nothing, I say!

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. It was the end of a semester and stress was running high. I'll try to update more frequently. All of the amazing stories here are inspiring me to abandon the normal storylines. I think I will weave in and out of the show, but I've become inspired to play around a bit. Hope that is okay.

"Damon, what are you doing?" She tilted her head up to look at me, licking her lips unconsciously. I began to close the gap between our mouths. Her eyes closed as she leaned in to seal our new relationship with a kiss.

Then I smelled it. I swiftly changed my course, my lips finding her ear and suckling the skin there. A soft moan escaped her lips.

"As much as I would love to continue this Elena, we are about to be interrupted," I whispered into her ear.

"What?" Her voice betrayed her desire as she pushed herself deeper into my embrace.

"Stefan is about to knock sweetheart."

Her lips rested near my ear, her breathing uneven as she attempted to calm herself. I pulled back gently, easing her chin up and looking into her eyes. Her eyes betrayed her desire but they also carried fear. She was clearly afraid of being discovered by Stefan. That would certainly never do. She is to be mine in the near future and would need to lose her embarrassment. Her arms dropped swiftly from my shoulders as she began to try and leave my embrace.

"Ah, ah, ah Sweetheart, stay in my arms." She looked up at me suddenly, confused by what I was telling her. I pulled her flush against my body, arching her onto her tip-toes. I leaned forward, kissing her nose. "There is no reason to leave my embrace. Stefan has little to do with our relationship, sweetheart."

"But, I…." I cut her off quickly by suckling on the skin behind her ear. Her light moan filled my senses, promising me her future submission.

"Has Stefan been invited in Elena? " She looked into my eyes questioningly, not understanding my reasoning.

"Has he been invited into your home Elena? I know he returned your journal, but did you invite him in?"

"No Damon. We went straight to the Grill after that. He's never been in my house."

"That pleases me Sweetness. Why don't you get your purse so I can take you out?" She looked surprised by my change in moods.

"But Stefan…."

"I'll handle my brother. Go get ready." I let her down but before she could fully leave my embrace, I pulled her in and let her feel my arousal. She blushed that gorgeous shade of pink before looking away from my eyes. "See what you do to me sweetheart?" She made a squeaking noise, reminiscent of a mouse as she ran up the stairs. I chuckled lightly at her reactions. I never dreamed I would find a virgin in my midst. I would delight in having her again and again until her innocence was completely gone. My true seduction would begin tonight.

I shook my head to rid myself of my musings. There was still the matter of my brother. I peeked out the peephole and noticed he was facing away from the door. As I opened the door, his voice rang out.

"I know I shouldn't have come by but I was wondering if you would like to go to the pep rally together? It could be fun…."

"Well I thought you'd never ask dear brother. We should have some fun together." He spun around at my statements. His entire body shook of his rage and utter surprise.

"Damon! What are you doing here?" His eyes darted to the fact that I was over the threshold of his dear Elena's house.

"Tsk, tsk Stefan. You should know by now that I keep abreast of your movements. Why I was quite surprised to discover that you had returned to our cherished hometown. I immediately had to come and see that all was well. "

"What are you doing with Elena?"

"I was very surprised to find her at your school. She is quite beautiful and I have made my plans accordingly." His eyes darkened perceptively and short growls escaped his mouth.

"Leave her out of this Damon. She is NOT Katherine."

"Perhaps not dear brother, but she would make an interesting replacement. I cannot wait to have her beneath me Stefan, meeting her pleasure. Her moans are delectable Stefan. Have you heard them?" He lunged at me suddenly, hitting the invisible wall surrounding her house. "Ah, ah, ah dear brother, you are not invited."

His growl was epic as he tried to fight his way through the barrier. "Leave Elena alone Damon, she is nothing in your schemes."

"And you would be wrong Stefan. Elena has just become everything to my plans. We will see you later." I closed the door in his face and turned to climb the steps to Elena's room. Her door was partially ajar and peeked in to see her standing by her dresser, clad in jeans and a lacy bra on top. She was unintentionally taunting a hungry vampire and she was completely unaware of her actions. I slid in quickly, leaving the door partially opened. Before she could blink, she was in my arms, pressed to her dresser.

"Damon!" She called out.

"I could hardly resist such a temptation. You are very beautiful Elena and you felt my arousal earlier. Would you deny me my exploration?" She breathed in short pants, arching herself into me. I pulled her sweet body towards the bed, lowering her onto its edge. She looked up at my towering form and licked her lips in a seductive fashion. I paused at her movement; the vision of Katherine conjured in front of me. It was a move she used when she granted a rare submission.

"Damon? Is something…..did I do something?" Her eyes were down, fingers picking at her jeans. I realized Elena would need more comforting than I had originally expected. She needed reassurance in sexual matters and I'm sure in matters of the heart.

I kneeled between her knees, resting my arms on her legs. "Elena." She still looked away from my eyes. "Elena please, look at me." She glanced at me then and I took the opportunity to hold her chin in place. "There is absolutely nothing wrong. You are beautiful darling, and I am happy to have you here with me." She smiled at me, her radiance shining out and pulling at the depths of my soul. I disregarded my initial feelings as this was about her and her alone. "May I continue Elena? May I worship your beauty?"

"I am nothing Damon. I'm just a girl." Her words struck me in an odd way. Who had told this creature that she was ordinary? Perhaps the town would suffer another 'animal attack' if I ever found out who had wounded her in this way. I reached up, cupping her soft cheek. I began to slowly rub my thumb across her skin, watching heat rise to her cheeks.

"You are not ordinary Elena. You are like a dark princess, and should be shown the proper respect. You should be outfitted in the finest clothes darling, wearing the finest jewels. You should be worshipped and held by a worthy man. A man who would care for you and give you all you desire."

"Are you such a man Damon?" I was so involved in my speech that I had not realized she been kissing my forehead and the top of my head. She was comforting me in a sense. Her perception was simply astounding. How had she known of my inner turmoil? How had she known that I was dealing with my own demons while trying to soothe her own?

"Yes Elena, I am such a man. Are you such a woman? Would you allow me to care for you, granting your desires? Would you allow me to worship you, making you my dark princess? Are you such a woman?"

She realized at that moment that I was looking for a permanent answer. We had not known each other for longer than a few days and yet I could see her seriously considering my question. She was considering allowing herself to be mine, without understanding what I was and what her promise would mean.

"You do not need to answer now sweetheart. You can take your time. I want you to know that once you submit to being mine, I will not share you with anyone. You would be mine entirely." I trailed off and reached up to run my fingers along her bra. She reacted immediately, her fingers grasping my shoulders and her breath caressed my face.

"Damon….please…." Her heart was pumping loudly and I could smell the beginnings of her arousal perfuming the air around me.

"I should like to take you out Sweetheart. We can go where you wish but would like a private dinner. I should like to show you some things." As I stated my desires for the night, I grasped one of her breasts in my hand. She moaned a soft, breathy sound at my movement. "I will come for you in one hour. Do not speak to anyone between now and then, please?" I waited for her response but while I waited I reached up and plucked at her nipple. It hardened under my teasing fingers. "Elena, do you agree to my terms?" I stopped my teasing, to wait for her decision.

"Yes Damon. I won't speak to anyone while I wait for you. What should I wear tonight?" I glanced down at her scantily clad breasts and had the urge to tell her 'nothing, absolutely nothing.' I am sure she would have fled from me at that request.

"I suppose a short dress would be in order. Heeled shoes and this lingerie are necessary. Feel free to remove any undergarments which do not go with your dress sweetheart." I smiled in what I've been told was a seductive fashion. That same mousy noise left her mouth as I rose up to my full height. I had much to do before our date and the next step of my conquest. As I went to leave her room, I paused and turned back to her, "Oh and Elena, I wonder which will taste better….the delectable food or you? I'll have to sample both tonight."

I watched as the blush crept up her neck, and her eyes looked away from mine. Yes, I would sample some of her charms tonight and soon she would promise to be mine.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed. Review. Also let me know whether you think I should play out their flirtation or provide a lovely lemon in the next chapter. Remember they have not yet kissed.
