So either I made all the Delena fans so mad they stopped reading or you guys are going along on the ride with me. I am hoping for the latter! I'm looking forward to seeing how this journey continues.

Chapter 4

Damon returned Rebekah's kiss, pulling her against him. Rebekah held onto him, pressing against him and then pulling him towards the stairs. "Upstairs. Now."

He smiled as he kissed her again. "Bossy much?"

She smiled back and pushed him against the wall beside the staircase. "Are you arguing with me?"

"Depends on what that makes you want to do to me." He ran his finger along her cheek and down her neck before grabbing her long blond hair and pulling down, forcing her head back and exposing the sensitive skin of her neck to him. He licked from her collarbone to her ear, then whispered, "Take control. Do what you want with me."

She shuddered as the heat in his voice coursed through her. There weren't many men who could bring her to her knees with just words but Damon Salvatore was proving to be capable of just that. She grabbed his hand and pulled him up the stairs. As they got to her bedroom door, she pushed him through and followed, pinning him against the wall in front of her bed. "As you wish, Damon." She pressed against him and felt her stomach lurch at the groan that came from him. Sex with Damon before had been intense but she was certain it would pale in comparison to this. There were no lies between them. She wasn't looking for love and he wasn't after anything from her other than the comfort of being close to someone who gave a damn.

They undressed each other quickly, hands everywhere, tongues exploring. They made their way to her bed, stumbling more like clumsy teenagers than decades-old vampires. Rebekah pushed Damon onto the bed and looked at him. He was beautiful. Dark hair, blue eyes, that smile and everything else that came with the package. He smiled up at her and raised his eyebrows, silently questioning what she was waiting for.

She pounced, straddling his waist and pinning him underneath her. "This is going to be fun."

He chuckled. "It's not like you don't know that already."

She shook her head and sat up, still straddling him and letting him look at her naked body above him. "This is better. No ulterior motives. No lies. Just two people who want the same thing."

He sat up and pulled her to him, kissing first her lips, then her neck, then lower. "Don't keep me waiting, Bekah."

She smiled and pushed him onto his back. "Impatient man."

He grabbed her hips and together they moved, both of them gasping as he slid inside her. She held still, her body gripping him tightly. "Damn."

She smiled as she leaned down to kiss him as she started to move. "Told ya."

He flipped her over so that he was on top of her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer. Both of them groaned at the contact, starting to move feverishly against one another. Time faded into the distance as they kissed and touched, moving together, flipping each other over and each taking their turn on top. Finally they collapsed side by side, exhausted and satisfied.

Rebekah watched Damon, his eyes closed as he relaxed. She wondered what was going on inside his head. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw her watching him. "What?" he asked.

"Just wondering what you're thinking."

"I'm thinking that you are one amazingly talented woman."

She giggled. "Well, thank you. You have some talents yourself, Mr. Salvatore."

"Regrets?"

"Is it tomorrow already?"

"Seriously. Do you regret what we just did?"

She shook her head. "What's to regret? We're both single and well over the age of consent."

He smiled. "We also have a bit of a past and we're trying this whole friend thing now."

She snuggled against his check and put her arm over his hip. "Not trying. We are friends, Damon. Do I think it's a good idea to make a habit of having sex? No. But we both needed to feel wanted tonight. There's nothing wrong with that."

He stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. "What if I want to make a habit of it?"

She looked up at him. "Damon, you are still in love with Elena. You know that and I know that. This was a one-time thing to get us through a tough time. I want this friendship thing to work."

He kissed her forehead. "You're right. And it pains me to ever admit that someone other than me is right."

She giggled. "Yes I am aware. Are you going to stay here tonight?"

He nodded. "If it's okay with you. We can go back to the 'just friends' thing in the morning?"

"Sounds perfect. Get some sleep, love."
