Three Weeks Later
San Antonio, Texas ─ Alleyway leading to Ewing Headquarters.
Laughter fills the air as a group of twenty werewolves walk into the alley that leads to the back entrance of their headquarters. They are celebrating another successful murder. Over the course of three years, they've successfully taken out ten different packs in the city. As per pack rules, whenever an Alpha takes out another packs' Alpha, the pack that is still standing inherits that packs money, property, and any remaining members.
They never keep the members, knowing they could revolt instead choosing instead to kill them. They do however keep the money as well as the property and that's why they generally only target the larger packs.
"Did you see the look on that punk's face as he begged for me not to kill him?" Ralph Ewing, the alpha of the pack laughs.
"Yeah, it was hilarious, him whimpering like that." One pack member replies. "The best part is the kid is son of the Alpha of that pack, so he'll be grieving the boy's loss when we take him out.
"Yes," Ralph agrees "It will be easy to take him out him." He grins at his pack. "He's a rich one too so we'll be rolling in property and dough."
"I don't know about you bro, but I think it's time for us to celebrate by getting some pussy." Ralph's brother Ronnie speaks up.'
"That's a good idea, but first I need to know the status on the other pack we've been watching."
"We've started frequenting one of their hangouts and making threats, but the two Alpha's haven't budged. Basically said they would go to war if it came down to it."
"Well if it's a war they want, a war they will get." Ralph frowns in annoyance, he's not used to people standing up to him. He definitely needs to rectify that. "Zach, unlock the door." Ralph snaps his fingers and Zach the security expert nods, quickly unlocking the door.
The men are just getting ready walk inside when they hear the sound of glass cracking. The alley is quickly filled with smoke and they begin to cough, the fumes making it difficult for them to breathe. The men realize immediately that this isn't normal smoke, this smoke has wolfs bane in it. The same wolfs bane that is poisonous to werewolves.
Terrified, the men try to find their way out of the alley, but the smoke is way too thick, making it difficult for any of them to see. Zach tries to get inside the building, but the door closes behind them seemingly by itself, ruling out that option as well. The smoke only grows and soon the men are all spread out on the floor, loud painful growls coming from each of them.
About thirty feet away, Bonnie watches with a smirk on her face as their growls and snarls slowly fade. When it's finally silent she knows they're all dead. The best part is they never saw it coming. She had been watching them for a last couple of days to figure out their habits and find when she would have the best opportunity to take them out. She'd know that they would all be together today, so she waited for them to return to their headquarters.
She heard them bragging about their latest kill like it was a game to them. As a result she hadn't felt the least bit bad when she threw the potion into the alley and they started gasping for air. They definitely got was coming to them and then some.
This particular pack of werewolves had a habit of stealing young wolves from rival packs and killing them. The plan had been to eliminate as many members as possible, so they could kill the Alpha and steal whatever fortune they had. As a result they ended up with a lot of enemies. One of those enemies had been the guy who hired her. He was one from the rival packs and he had most of his pack, including his son taken out. He'd been willing to play her five times her asking price as long she took them out subtly.
And subtle she had been.
Slipping out of the alley she heads toward her new car, a black Jaguar XKR-S convertible. It cost her quite a bit, but between the money she'll be getting for this job and the money she's already made from the other jobs she's had, she can afford it.
She has to admit when she first decided to be independent contractor within in the supernatural community, she'd been worried it would be hard to break in, but it hadn't. It seems, supernatural beings will pay a lot to have a witch take out their enemies. Most of the jobs she takes are jobs other witches are unwilling to take because it means crossing lines that most witches would never cross. Which is why she's been hired for quite a few jobs over last few weeks and why she already has several more lined up.
Pulling out her cell phone, Bonnie dials a number, waiting until they pick up. "It's done." She's doesn't bother with any pleasantries, knowing it's better to keep things professional.
"Okay, I'm sending the money to your account right now."
"Good." Bonnie hangs up the phone and drives off so she can return to her hotel.
Now that she's completed the job, she thinks it's time for her to relax and have some fun.
Mystic Falls ─Lake House
Elena paces her living room floor back and forth, worry flooding her gut. She hasn't drank from anything but a blood bag since her ill-fated trip with Caroline that ended with the human almost losing their life. So to be thinking of doing just that with Klaus of all people is nerve wracking.
"You're a vampire, love. It's time for you to embrace it." Klaus Mikaelson rolls his eyes in boredom as he sits on her couch; next to him is a male donor he brought with him.
After agreeing to work together to find the cure, Klaus took it upon himself to help the doppelganger adapt better to her vampire status. He'll rather rot in hell than team up with someone who isn't prepared properly for battle. That's why for the past few weeks he's been training with her. Tonight they've gotten to blood portion of her training, but it looks like the girl is getting cold feet. Something that just won't do.
"Damon wouldn't be happy if he knew you were here." Even as she says the words she knows it's not how she really feels deep down. Deep down she knows getting help from Klaus is the best way to go, but the sire bond brings out the deepest parts of her that want to please Damon. And she knows that Damon be furious if he found out Klaus has been helping her adjust.
"That statement is exactly why this is necessary." Klaus says matter-of-factly. "You have been so busy thinking with what's between your legs, now you have no idea how to handle yourself. And now that Bonnie's no longer here to save your ass, you need all the help you can get if you want to stay alive."
She flinches in guilt at the mention of Bonnie. Now that her mind is slightly clear, she came to the realization that she's responsible for driving her best friend away. If she actually thought about how things affected Bonnie and actually spent time with Bonnie that had nothing to do with her magic, she might still be here.
Guilt aside knows Klaus right, she's known for a while that she needed help controlling her vampirism better. That had been the reason she didn't disagree when Klaus decided he would be the one to help her. She knows Caroline already has enough going on, so asking her had been out of the question. Getting help from Damon would just be a bad idea considering sire bond and Stefan…
For a second time tonight, guilt floods her as she thinks about what she did to Stefan, the way she hurt him. She hasn't seen much of him since their breakup and she found out from Caroline that he isn't too happy with her or Damon. She can't blame him, what they did was horrible. The worst part is she knows she can't entirely blame the sire bond for what happened. It only brought out what was already there.
"Stop wallowing in guilt and drink." He gestures toward the donor.
The donor extends his neck and slowly Elena makes her way over to them. She sits and the donor extends his neck to her, inviting her to drink.
Klaus watches silently as Elena's fangs elongate and she slowly sinks them into the donor's neck. "Okay now I want you to relax and drink slowly."
Elena exhales as the blood slowly runs into her mouth and goes down her throat. It tastes amazing and she's tempted to drink faster when she hears Klaus' voice calming her down.
"That's it keep going." He soothes her. He continues until he knows she's full before he stops speaking.
Now is the moment of truth for her, whether she is able to stop on her own without being prodded. If not they'll have to work more, but he's hoping it won't come to that because they need to move on to other things.
Elena carefully retracts her fangs from the donor's neck and looks up, happy to see the man is still conscious. Excitement fills her as she realizes that this is the first time she's been able to drink from human and it hasn't ended badly.
"Well that certainly went better than I thought." Klaus says standing up, dragging the donor up with him and pushing him toward the door.
"So what now?" Elena asks as she wipes the blood from her chin.
"Now that we've established you can drink blood without killing your donor, we can move on to your other training. But that will have to wait until our next session. I have some things I need to do."
He opens the door and starts to walk through the threshold when he turns and pulls a rectangular box from his pocket. "Pass this along to your friend Caroline." He hands her the box.
Elena frowns when it becomes clear that the box contains a necklace of some kind.
"Give it to her yourself." She shakes her head, pushing the box back into his hands. "If she accepts your gifts it will be because she wants to. I'm not going to get involved in this."
Besides, from the way her blonde friend has been talking the last few weeks, Caroline is definitely beginning to fall for a Mikaelson, it just isn't Klaus.
Elijah wraps on the door impatiently, eager to see the blonde vampire that lives in the home. Ever since he stopped by to inform Caroline about the sire bond, they've been working together to find ways to break the bond.
Over the last three weeks he's gotten to know her better and he sees why his brother is so captivated with her. She's amazing, beautiful, a great sense of humor and she has a lot of depth for someone so young. When he first met her, he assumed she was a dumb blonde, but he's very happy to see he was wrong. And now with each day that passes, he finds coming to see her is the best part of his day.
The door opens and stands straighter a smile pulling to his face when he sees her.
"Caroline." He greets her as he comes in, making sure he brushes past her.
"Do you ever wear anything other than suits?" Is her way of greeting him, deciding that Focusing on his wardrobe will make her think less about how amazing he smells. Or how much she's starting to like him.
"Do you have a problem with my choice of wardrobe?" He raises an eyebrow, worried that she doesn't like the way he dresses. He dressed even more carefully than he normally does so he hate to find out she doesn't like his clothing.
She takes another perusal of his cream colored suit that has been matched with a light blue shirt and yellow tie. As always he looks amazing, but she does wonder why he always seems to wear suits, even when they are doing something as mundane as doing research.
"No, you look always look great, amazing really…" She trails off when she sees the smile on his face. "…I was just curious if you ever wear anything more casual."
"For the record, I do have a closet full of more casual items, but I've found the suits tend to work for me. Wouldn't you agree?"
"I already complimented you once tonight; you're not getting a second one from me so soon." She teases and they both laugh, but it's not long before things shift between them.
"How about the next time I come over, I'll wear something more casual." Elijah steps closer to her until he's only a few feet away from her.
"You'd do that?" She takes a step as well.
"Yes I would." He leans down to kiss her, but at the last second he pulls back and heads to the table they use for research. "We should get started on our research, the sire bond isn't going end by itself."
"Right." Caroline furrows her eyebrows in confusion at the sudden change in demeanor. She could have sworn he was planning to kiss her.
Mystic Falls ─ Cabin in the Woods
The moment Stefan's finished coming down from his high, he pulls out of Rebekah and slips out of bed before pulling on his sweats. He's been burning the sheets with her for a couple of weeks now and its felt great to release some of his hurt and anger. But much like the other times they've fucked, the moment he's done he wants and needs her as far away as possible. It should probably make him feel bad to use her this way, but it doesn't. He's no longer in the business of sparing other people's feelings. Plus he knows if he's nice about it, she might get her hopes up about them starting a relationship.
Glancing at the sweaty figure sprawled out in his bed, he looks at her pointedly. "Well it's been fun, but it's time for you to go."
"You could at least pretend you're not using me." Rebekah snaps as she climbs out of bed and begins pulling on her clothes.
"Why? We both know this is nothing more than sex." He shrugs, continuing to speak when he sees the indignant look on her face. "And before you get all outraged, don't act like you aren't using me as well. "You're the one that came to me after catching Matt between Katherine's legs." He grins callously and she looks away in aggravation.
Despite his cruel words Rebekah knows what he's saying is true. The moment she left the Mystic Grill immediately decided to seek Stefan out. Knowing he wouldn't be at the boarding house after his breakup with the doppelganger she decided to check directly to the cabin Klaus mentioned Stefan having. Luckily for her, Stefan had not only been there, but he'd been in the mood for angry sex. For the last two weeks she's come back and forth whenever she's been in the mood. Still that doesn't mean she wants him pointing out just how little she means to him.
"The best part is…" Stefan continues despite her obvious discomfort. "…you're not even sure what upset you most about seeing them together; the fact that Matt was balls deep in Katherine or that it was Katherine who was being plowed by Matt."
Rebekah's surprised gaze snaps back to him and Stefan grins smugly.
"That's right I know all about you're little fling with Katherine back in the day."
"How could you possibly know that?" She knows Katherine would never say anything and she never told anyone else about her fling with the beautiful vampire over 200 years ago. It only lasted a few weeks until Klaus ran the brunette vampire off.
Despite the years she had on Katherine that had been her first time being with another woman and their brief affair had been the catalyst to making her realize she enjoyed being with both men and women. It's also part of the reason she had such a dislike for Elena when they first met. She still hates that that lesser vampire has Katherine's face. "Who told you?"
"Klaus had no boundaries when it came to your lovers." He says drolly.
Back in the twenties when he and Rebekah were involved, Klaus not only mentioned her romance with his protégé Marcel, but the fact that Rebekah and Katherine had a brief fling as well. It seems he liked to keep tabs on who was sniffing around his sister. He can only assume he told Stefan that as a way of warning him not to hurt Rebekah.
"If you've known about this all this time, why didn't you ever say anything?" She doesn't even want to know how Klaus found out about Katherine because she has a feeling she won't like what she hears.
"It didn't really matter to me at the time and once I got my memories of our time together back, I was trying to stay as far away from you as possible. As for why I said something now? I just felt like it."
"You're an asshole."She glares at him.
"Yeah I am," He readily agrees. "But it won't stop you from climbing back into my bed when the mood strikes you again." He scratches at his chest, the movement making the muscles in his stomach tighten slightly.
Rebekah's eyes flare with rage, but she says nothing knowing he's right. Instead she picks up the rest of her things and storms out of the small cabin.
She's so angry, she doesn't notice the dark-haired vampire drive up as she gets into her car and drives off.
Back inside, Stefan in is just getting ready to lay back down when there is a knock on the door. Expecting it to Rebekah, he flings the door open only to find the last person he wants to see.
"What the fuck do you want?" He snarls out, his voice glacial.
"We need to talk." Damon ignores his brother's angry glower and pushes past him to go inside.
Stefan would love to snap his brother's neck, but there's a small part of him that wonders what Damon has to say.
San Antonio, Texas ─ Full Moon Bar
Samantha Lupo pours rum into a glass before adding the lime, happy to have slightly uncomplicated order for once.
The bar is busier than it usual, making Samantha's night a little more hectic, but she's not complaining. Like everyone else tonight, she's happy that they have no longer have to worry about the rival pack. As soon as she heard the news earlier that day, she'd known that the bar would be filled with many members from their pack that would want to celebrate by drinking and finding someone to take home for the night.
Speaking of taking someone home, the woman who ordered the uncomplicated drink will definitely be getting attention from many of the wolves in here, the alphas in particular. She's just their type, beautiful, human and seemingly unaffected that she's in a room with tons of werewolves.
"Here you go." The bartender places the drink on the bar and Bonnie thanks her before taking a sip.
After what just transpired with that other wolf pack being a witch in a room full of werewolves should probably make Bonnie nervous, but she's not. She knows if need be can take out everyone in the room. She however hopes it won't come to that because all she wants to is have some fun and relax.
Across the room, Alcide Herveaux feels his hormones come to attention as he spots the curvy brown skinned woman at the bar ordering a drink. She's dressed in jeans and a tank top, but still looks amazing. She's a little shorter than what he's used to; she would definitely make his 6'5" frame seem even larger, but the thought of her climbing his body for some hot and sweaty sex is very tempting.
While many would consider his thoughts cocky, most human women particularly ones that are aware of the existence of werewolves are always eager to lay down with wolf. He can't imagine this woman will be any different. Thinking of his game plan, he nudges his partner in crime to get his attention.
Tyler Lockwood looks up from his beer when Alcide nudges him. He hadn't known what to think of the hulking werewolf when he first got to San Antonio, but the older man welcomed him with open arms into his pack. It's the first time in a long time he's felt at home.
Tonight they're celebrating because a rival pack got themselves slaughtered by some witch. No one knows who the witch is, but the members of their pack that got a glimpse said that the witch was using some powerful magic.
Alcide lets out a slight growl and Tyler knows right away why he nudged him, a woman. It's a system they have, if one of them spots a girl, the other will act as a wingman. At first Tyler hadn't participated because he was still dealing with his breakup, but eventually he had and found that he liked the freedom of one night stands.
"You found a girl for the night?"
"Yeah, the pretty little thing at the bar, I'm definitely thinking about getting between those thighs."
Tyler turns toward the bar and does a double take when sees a familiar face. "Hold up I know that girl. We're from the same town." Tyler continues to stare at her, his shock slowly fading. He takes in her cleavage, the way her jeans curve around her ass. He stiffens slightly in his seat when he begins to feel heaviness in his groin. He'd be lying if he never got a hard on around Bonnie in the past. She's hot and his dick has always loved a beautiful woman.
Hell before he started seeing Caroline, he'd seriously considered asking Bonnie out, but life happened. He fell for Caroline, she started seeing Elena's little brother and he put those thoughts out of his mind. Still, he's never felt it to this degree before. He can only assume it's because he's no longer in a relationship and is free to be attracted to whomever he wants.
"An old girlfriend?" Alcide frowns in disappointment when he sees the interest in Tyler's eyes.
"No, she's my ex-girlfriend's best friend and now I'm pretty sure we found the mystery witch that took out that rival pack."
"That tiny woman?" Alcide is skeptical. How could someone in such a tiny frame cause so much damage.
"That 'tiny woman' happens to come from one of the oldest and most powerful witch lines in the world."
"Really?" Alcide's mouth opens in shock.
"Yeah and if she wanted she could take all us of out like that." Tyler snaps his fingers to make his point. "Trust me I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm gonna go say hello."
"I'll go with you so you can introduce us." Alcide grins and Tyler shakes his head in faux annoyance as he pushes through the crowd to greet Bonnie.
At the bar Bonnie nurses her drink, tensing in surprise when she senses he auras of two supernatural beings approaching. One of the auras she senses is obviously from a werewolf which isn't out of the ordinary, but the other is from a hybrid something that she generally associates with Klaus. Annoyed, she looks up and only to relax when she sees Tyler and a tall werewolf walking over.
He looks good, more ripped than he was the last time she saw him. His face no longer holds the haunted look it held when he left Mystic Falls. It's obvious he's been flourishing here.
"It's been a long time Bennett." Tyler grins widely at her and pulls her into a hug, genuinely happy to see her.
They've hugged before, usually after something horrific happened, but this time it's different. This time Tyler takes in the way she feels against his body, the warmth he feels seeping from her skin.
"Yes it has Lockwood." She pulls back from the hug, a wide smile on her face. "So this is where you've been since you left town?"
"Yeah, I wanted to be far away from Mystic Falls so drove until I found a place that seemed right. The rest is history." He explains his situation to her, all the while trying to push down the attraction he's feeling for her.
A throat clears startling both Tyler and Bonnie who suddenly remember they aren't alone.
"Since Tyler doesn't seem to have any manners, I'll introduce myself. I'm Alcide." He grins down at the woman who he towers over by more than a foot.
"Bonnie." She smiles at the very tall and handsome werewolf.
"Alcide and I are the heads of our pack." Tyler jumps in; not liking the attention Alcide is giving Bonnie.
"Really I'm surprised either of you would want to share." She knows most packs have one alpha and when there is more than one member of the pack vying for that position it can get very competitive.
"Never really been a fan of pack law." He shrugs. "Besides, since Tyler isn't a typical wolf, I didn't see harm in changing the rules."
The witch and hybrid share a smile, their attention focused on each other and Alcide decides to take that as his cue to leave. "Well I'll let you two get reacquainted. It was nice to meet you Bonnie."
"You're welcome to stay, man." Tyler offers politely, though from the look in his eyes, Alcide can tell he doesn't really mean it.
"No, I'm gonna head on home, call it a night. See you tomorrow at the meeting." He fist bumps Tyler as he walks out.
"So what brings you to San Antonio is everything okay back home?" Tyler asks when Alcide's gone. There is a part of Tyler doesn't really want to know if something's wrong because he's grown to love this place and he doesn't want the past to interfere with that.
"I wouldn't know I left Mystic Falls a few months ago." Bonnie reveals with a shrug.
"Seriously?" Tyler's eyes widen in surprise.
"Seriously," Bonnie nods and begins to explain what she's been up to the last few months.
"Good for you." He says once she's finished.
He and Bonnie didn't really interact all that much back in Mystic Falls, but a part of him always thought it had to suck to cleanup for everyone all the time. As much as he misses Caroline at times, he's happy to be away from that suffocating town. "So the two of us running into each other is?"
"A complete coincidence," Bonnie finishes his question.
Tyler sighs in relief, happy that her presence isn't related to anything back home. Still it doesn't tell him whether or not his theory about her taking out the rival wolf pack is true. "So what brings you to this neck of the woods?"
"Business," She says simply.
"What kind of business?"
"Let's cut to the chase, you're trying to figure out whether or not I was the one to kill the wolf pack, right?" She raises an eyebrow daring him to deny it.
"I always liked how straight forward you could be." He laughs. "So are you admitting it?"
"Yeah I am. Do you have problem with that?" She knows how tight werewolves usually are and she would hate for her night to be ruined because this group of werewolves were looking for a fight.
"No, they were a huge pain in our asses. You taking them out means none of our people had to lose their lives in a potential war." He slides closer to her, inhaling her intoxicating scent before uttering softly, "So thank you." His brown eyes darken when their eyes meet.
"You're welcome," She boldly meets his intense gaze and they both shudder as a surge of heat runs through them.
"I know it's not much, but allow me to buy you a drink to show you my gratitude. Please." He grins hopefully.
"Okay." She returns his smile.
Tyler signals for the bartender, indicating to Samantha that she serve Bonnie another drink.
"Nice place you have here." Damon says as he looks around the small cabin, taking in the flat screen with a satellite, the laptop, and the large bed in the middle of the room. On the other side of the wall he sees two doors that obviously lead to the kitchen and bathroom. "I didn't think it would be this decked out, impressive." When he compelled Matt for the info about Stefan's whereabouts and found out about this cabin, he assumed it would only be the basics.
"Save the small talk and explain why you're here." Stefan rolls his eyes at the compliment, his eyes stormy with anger.
"So you're fucking Rebekah." He ignores Stefan's warning Are you sure that's the best idea considering our grievances with Klaus?"
"Who I fuck is none of your fucking business." Stefan snaps. "And you sure hell weren't thinking of the consequences when you decided to fuck her." He points out reminding Damon of his own fling with the blonde original.
"So to get over Elena, you're going after my sloppy seconds." Damon chuckles at the predictability of it.
"I fucked her way before you did. So if you want to get technical, you once again had my sloppy seconds. And just so you know… she was begging me back into her bed even after she had you. You must not have done a very good job." He throws Damon a smug look.
"Whatever. Let's just focus on why I came here."
"If you came here to gloat about Elena, you'd better think again because I have no qualms about snapping your neck."
"Actually…You'll be happy to know that things aren't going very well between us. Apparently because I sired her and we're close it means she's amendable to doing whatever I suggest and I'm prone to keeping her happy no matter the consequences."
Stefan blinks in surprise at the news. Of all the things he expected his brother to say, that had been at the bottom of the list.
"So basically you're saying you're not sure if Elena acted on her feelings for you because she actually wants you or because the bond was influencing her to."
"Yeah." Damon nods.
Stefan lets out long cackle causing Damon to growl in annoyance.
"Are you going to keep laughing or tell me your thoughts on this situation?" He finally barks when Stefan continues laughing.
"Obviously I think it's hilarious, but I'm not seeing what that has to do with me." He folds his arm across his chest.
"It means you can stop acting like an ass and start talking to Elena and me again. If we hadn't been under the effects of the bond this would have never happened so fast." Damon knows he should apologize more sincerely and he initially intended to, but the moment he got to the cabin all that went out the window and he felt the need to compete with Stefan instead.
"I don't care what excuse you two have, it doesn't change the fact that you've always wanted her!" He briefly vamps out, his anger briefly getting the better of him before going back to normal.
"The sire bond didn't suddenly give Elena the desire to spread her legs for you. It didn't suddenly cause you to make you make a move on her despite her being with me nor did it make you want to rub my nose in the fact that you're fucking her now. You knew damn well I could hear you two that day at boardinghouse and you didn't care about how I would feel about that at all."
Damon flinches as he remembers the day Stefan is referring to. He had purposely made as much noise as possible to hurt his brother. Years and years of his younger brother coming out on top had gotten the better of him and he lashed out. The worst part is there is a part of him that still wouldn't take it back. He sighs and decides to focus on the reason he came to see Stefan.
"Look I didn't come here to rehash this thing with Elena; I came here to get you to help us find a cure for her. I have a lead in Nova Scotia and…"
"We're back to the cure now?" Stefan laughs dryly, interrupting Damon's explanation. "I assumed you'd given that up now that you finally managed to get between Elena's legs."
"Well things have changed now that we know about the sire bond. We can't continue on like this, not knowing what's real and what isn't."
"Let me get this straight, you want me to help you find a cure so you'll know for sure that her feelings for you are genuine?" Stefan furrows his eyebrows in disbelief at Damon's nerve.
"You realize this may benefit you too. I mean she did choose you before she was turned; maybe her turning human will back those feelings out for you."
"Don't try to use my feelings for Elena to manipulate me into helping you!" He grabs Damon by the neck and slams him against the wall.
"I take it that's a no on the helping?" Damon manages to grit out around Stefan's tight grip.
"No I'll help, but only because it's the right thing to do. Elena should have never been turned in the first place." Despite his problems with her and his brother at the moment, he still feels responsible for accident that resulted in her needing to be turned.
"But," He continues when he sees hopeful look on his brother's face. "Beyond that I don't want a thing to do with either of you. So whatever details you think I'll need send them to me through Caroline. Now get the hell out of my house."
He lets Damon drop to ground and opens the door, making it clear he wants Damon to leave.
Damon leaps up and walks out the door, leaving Stefan alone with his thoughts.
Not for the first time, his thoughts shift to Bonnie and how she had the strength to leave town when he hasn't yet. He wonders how she is, what she's doing and if she's happy. He likes to think she is. He can only hope in time he'll be able to cut toxicity from his life and not look back like she has.
In the mean time he'll try to get through this like he always does, by surviving.
Tyler pushes the door to his apartment open and stands back, allowing Bonnie to go through first. After talking for a while at the bar, they both agreed they should move to someplace quieter. As she pushes past him, he checks out her ass, knowing his invitation hadn't been completely altruistic.
"Nice place." Bonnie says as she looks around. Despite the small space, the place is pretty decked out. There's a television, several gaming consoles, a desktop and many other luxury items.
"It's not quite the mansion I used to have, but I like it."
"Mansions can be overrated." Bonnie chuckles lowly and the sound of it sends a spark of heat to his groin.
This isn't the first time that's happened tonight and he knows it won't be last. The entire time they'd been talking at the bar, he had been half-hard and it hadn't only been because of how sexy she is.
Throughout the evening he found out at that he and Bonnie have a lot in common. They like some of the same movies, same music, and they bonded over them both getting out of Mystic Falls. As the evening grew on he started to regret not spending all that much time with her, not getting to know her better. Though on second thought it's probably a good thing he didn't because if he had spent more time with her, he would have wanted to fuck her like he does right now.
"What exactly are you waiting for?" Bonnie steps closer to him, arousal in her eyes.
Tyler's eyes widen as he realizes his last thoughts about Bonnie may not have been in his head. "Oh fuck, I said that out loud didn't I?"
"Yeah," Bonnie laughs when sees the embarrassed look on his face. "And again I ask what are you waiting for?" She'd seen the look in his eyes back at the bar and had felt the same way. So when he asked her to come back to his place she readily agreed.
"I didn't want to push you into anything that would make you uncomfortable."
"If I wasn't interested I would have gone back to my hotel room, I wouldn't have agreed to come back here with you. Nor would I be asking you why you haven't made a move yet." Her voice turning seductive.
"You have a point." He grins in relief that he's not the only one feeling the attraction between them.
Tyler steps forward to erase the distance between them. He cups her face in his hands and pulls her into a passionate kiss.
Immediately Bonnie loses herself in the kiss. It's been a while since she's been this close to a man and she definitely plans to take advantage of the situation. They both let out groans as their mouth's move heatedly against each other.
Tongues move against each other, bodies move grind against each other. Tyler eyes briefly flash with disappointment when Bonnie pulls back, but when she moves her hands to the bottom of shirt and starts to pull it over his head, he eyes darken with arousal.
The moment his shirt drops to the floor, he quickly does the same with hers, his mouth watering when he realizes she hadn't been wearing a bra. Unable to resist, he leans down to take a nipple in his mouth, growling slightly when she moans in pleasure.
Bonnie melts into his arms, the sensation of his mouth on her breast getting the better of her. Steeling herself slightly, she begins to slide on of her hands down his torso, stopping when she gets to the bulge in his pants.
The moment, her hand wraps around his jean-covered erection, Tyler's repeatedly goes back and forth from human to hybrid and before she can blink, Tyler's pulling his mouth away from her breast and tossing her on his shoulder.
When she opens her eyes she is lying on a bed, Tyler looming over her, completely naked. When did he have time to do that? Her mouth waters and her panties grow damper when she sees his cock proudly standing against his belly. Their lips meet again and it's not long until they are kissing feverishly.
Tyler breaks the kiss and quickly makes work of her jeans, eager to her as naked as he is. After pulling her jeans off, he begins moving up her body pressing kisses to her legs and thighs along the way. He lingers at the juncture between her thighs, taking in the scent of her arousal before pressing a kiss against her underwear covered mound. He lifts his head slightly, managing to grasp the band of her lacy panties between his teeth before he slowly uses his mouth to slide them downward.
The unexpected move causes Bonnie to grow wetter and she moans in delight when the hybrid surges back up and takes a lick at her slit. Tyler similarly groans as he begins to nip and suck her drenched pussy. He spreads her thighs wider, his lust heightening as her sugary arousal drips into his mouth.
Bonnie moans and digs her fingers into the sheets when he turns his attention to her clit and she feels two of his fingers enter her as well. Her head falls back against the bed as the dual stimulation causes her climax to race through her, Tyler's name on her lips.
She feels him raise his head and when she opens her eyes she's staring into his brown eyes. Before she even has time to come down her high, he's moving up and over her, settling himself between her legs. She wraps her legs around him and he quickly thrusts inside of her, both groaning at the feel of being connected.
He moves slowly at first and kisses her, his tongue mimicking the act they were doing down below. Bonnie tries to get him to move faster, but he ignores the hint, instead he pulls his mouth away from hers and he starts pressing kisses to her neck, wanting her as aroused as he is.
It works and soon, she's groaning in frustration and pulling his head back to her to kiss him roughly. She uses her inner muscles to squeeze his cock and when he breaks it to growl in pleasure, she takes the opportunity to whisper, "Harder…" against his lips before dragging her nails down his back.
He nods and immediately increases the speed and power of his thrusts, watching as Bonnie lets out a pleased moan. She starts to move her body with his, hoping to create enough friction to give to both pleasure.
Grabbing onto one of her thighs, he lifts it and sits back on his haunches, dragging her with him as he moves her up and down on his cock. He thrusts in earnest, letting out a ferocious growl when he fills the fluttering of her inner muscles around his shaft.
Bonnie's hands wrap around his shoulders as she comes for a second time. Once again she has no time to come down from her high since Tyler's still moving inside of her, his cock growing harder with each thrust.
Tyler rolls them over and sits up, never missing his rhythm as he continues to fuck her. His hand settles low in her back and she arches her back, her long hair touching the bed.
If possible his cock hardens even more and he finds himself thankful that he's long since learned to control his strength. Though based on the way Bonnie's moving against him, he may not need to control himself. He'll find out later…
Wanting her lips against his, he pulls her up and shoves his tongue into her mouth, grunting when she bites his lip. This time he's the one to gasp when she purposely squeezes her muscles around him. He kisses her like there's no tomorrow and begins rotating his hips against hers.
Bonnie's fingers dig into his arms as he thrusts into her several more times until, she erupts for a third time that night, this time taking Tyler there with her.
The following morning Tyler comes out of his bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist and spots Bonnie awake in his bed. She had still been asleep when he'd woken up this morning and instead of waking her up for another round, he headed to the shower instead.
All while he was showering, he tried to think of ways to tell Bonnie he's not looking for a relationship. In another world, another time he would jump at the chance to have a relationship with her, but right now he's just not ready. Normally he doesn't care about how he lets the women he spends the night with down, but Bonnie's different. He cares about her and he has to be careful how he plays this.
"Good morning." He greets her with a smile, despite the long night she looks fantastic. Her skin is glowing and her eyes brighter. It's obvious she had as good a time as he did.
"Morning." Bonnie lets her eyes trail from his face to his torso, stopping at the towel cut low on his hips. She flushes with arousal as she remembers what's underneath it.
Tyler's smile fades and he face grows serious."Bonnie…about what happened last night. I…"
"Relax, Ty." Bonnie interrupts, chuckling at his obvious attempt to let her down gently. "I'm not looking for anything serious. I've had enough of that to last a lifetime." She briefly thinks of her failed attempts to have long term relationships. "Besides I'm leaving town today anyway to get started on another job."
"Well in that case…" A grin appears on his face as he undoes the knot holding his towel in place and allows it to fall to the floor. "Allow me to give you a good sendoff."
Bonnie watches with interest as he saunters over to the bed, his cock bouncing with every step. She is not at all surprised when Tyler lunges for her, wrapping one of his large hands around her ankle before pulling her underneath him.
As he thrusts inside of her, all Tyler can think is how good it feels to be surrounded by her warmth once again.
