Elena jumps out of her car and rushes into the park, looking frantically for Asha and Tyler. She remembers Asha mentioning that they had planned on coming to the park before they went to dinner and she only hopes that the couple is still here. As she gets further into the park, she spots Asha in the midst of doing a spell.
"Asha?" She cautiously approaches her friend, knowing how dangerous it can be to startle a witch.
"Hey, Elena." She smiles at the brunette vampire.
"You're bleeding." Elena gasps when she sees the blood covering her face and dress. It's obvious that she's been over doing it with the spells, something that's very dangerous when it comes to witches. Making her decision, Elena grabs Asha's hands and looks into her eyes. "Hey, look at me." Her voice is soft as she tries to get the witch's attention. "We need to get you out of here and get you cleaned up."
"It's just a little blood, I'll clean up later. Right now I need to get back to this spell." She shakes Elena's hands off her and turns away from her, obviously intending on continuing the spell. However before she can do so, she feels a slight pain in her head and then there's only darkness.
Elena frowns as Asha falls into her arms. Using her strength to knock her friend out was the last thing she wanted to do, but she knows if she hadn't Asha would have ended up overexerting herself. Now she just has to get her to the boardinghouse and figure out what's going on with everyone.

Matt wakes ups and is surprised to find himself in a room he doesn't recognize. It's not his room in the apartment he shares with Tyler nor is it Elena's bedroom that he's spent so much time lately. Based on the furniture he can only assume he's at the boardinghouse and that's when he remembers what happened. He'd been trying to kill those vampires and get one of them turn him when Elena and Stefan showed up and the latter of the two knocked him out.
A look at his watch tells him that that was two hours ago, which means he's already lost some time. All he can think of is proving to Elena that he can take care of her and he knows that becoming a vampire is the way to do it.
Quickly, he leaps out of bed and heads to the door only to frown when he realizes that he's been locked in. Still it doesn't stop him from trying to get it open. When that doesn't work he glances around the room, hoping to see something that will help him, but based on how bare the room is, he knows that's unlikely.
He's wondering whether or not he should climb out of the window when he hears what sounds like two people having sex.
"Oh fuck, Caroline."
He hears Jeremy groan and briefly wonders when they decided to take the plunge before focusing on getting out of this room. Matt lets out a long breath and starts pounding on the wall and yelling, hoping to get their attention.
-X-
Jeremy spreads Caroline's legs open and lowers his mouth to her mound. Immediately, she thrusts her hips against his face, moaning as he drags his tongue across her slit. When he shoves it inside of her and starts devouring her all she can think is how she should have agreed to doing this sooner. Who would have thought that Jeremy Gilbert would be the best sex of her life.
He continues his feast on her, opening his mouth wider when a flood of arousal gushes out of her. He grunts when her thighs tighten around his shoulders, trapping him between her legs. Jeremy grins slightly, thinking that being trapped here is one of the highlights of his life. He grinds his cock into the bed, loving how hard this act has made him and he uses his lips and tongue lap at her folds, causing her to writhe in bliss.
Caroline's hips shoot off the bed as she goes over the edge, coming all over the bottom half of his face. She comes down from her high and is both surprised and pleased to find Jeremy still devouring her, quickly building up her arousal again. Needing more than his mouth, she grabs him by the hair and pulls him to her mouth, kissing him fiercely before rolling him on to his back.
His eyes blaze as she climbs on top of him and sinks down on his cock. She starts to ride him and he grabs her hips as she bounces up and down on him. He groans when her face changes and her movements become more frantic as though she's riding a bull. Moisture floods his cock and he when he moves his hand between their bodies to stroke her clit, he marvels at how wet she is.
"Come on Jer, don't stop." She moans as his hand rubs the nub faster and harder. He does this a few more times and then she's coming hard and fast around him. Once she's finished she collapses to his chest and starts to press kisses to it. She gasps when he lifts her off his cock and she sees the hungry look in his eyes.
A wicked smirk appears on his face when he turns her around and maneuvers himself behind her. Another gasp falls from her lips when his large hands grip her hips and he rams into her from behind. Caroline feels her fangs elongate and she grips the sheets as he fucks her from behind. When she hears the growls and snarls coming from Jeremy, she shudders at how good they sound.
Jeremy hardens inside of her and wanting her just as tense as he is, grabs a fist full of her hair and pulls on it.
She gasps, turned on by his aggression and starts to push back against him, making him thrust harder inside of her. Their movements cause the bed to creak and she's sure the sounds of their moans fill the boardinghouse.
His mouth flies open when she clenches around him and he reaches around and squeezes her breasts knowing how sensitive they are. Caroline's head thrashes as she grows wetter and wetter, her juices dripping down to his public hair.
He's surprised when she suddenly without warning, grabs one of the hands covering her breasts and bites into his wrist. "Oh fuck, Caroline." He groans as he feels assault of pleasure throughout his body. That feel of her fangs in him is all it takes to push both of them over the edge and they desperately move together until they finally collapse together on the bed.
Though they both should be exhausted since they've been at it for hours now, Caroline quickly realizes that her boyfriend is already to go again, based on the way his cock is poking her in the thigh. "Are you sure you aren't a vampire?" She glances up at him and sees the heated look in his eyes.
"I can assure you that I'm 100 percent human." He presses a lingering kiss to her neck. "You just bring it out of me. Can you blame me for wanting as much of you as possible." He pulls her in for heated kiss.
Their tongues tangle together until Caroline abruptly pulls back causing Jeremy to frown. He tries to pull her in again, but she ignores him. "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" He nibbles at her neck, his attention on his girlfriend.
"That pounding." Caroline pushes him away again and listens more intently. "I can hear someone yelling."
"Hey, I need some help here!"
"That sounds like Matt." She quickly jumps out of bed and pulls on the robe Jeremy keeps in the room. Jeremy frowns and slips on a pair of boxers before going after her.
-X-
Stefan pulls on his shirt and glances at the door as he attempts to will down his erection. He both loves and hates that he finally got a taste of what he's been dreaming of for a while now. He has to get her to the boardinghouse. Standing up straight, Stefan lightly taps on the glass and waits for Bonnie to come back. A minute later he sees her walking toward the door, fully dressed. He pushes down his slight disappointment and waits for her to open the door.
"Stefan, did you change your mind?" Bonnie looks at him hopefully when she pushes the door open. She had been so angry when he put the brakes on what they were doing, but maybe he's changed his mind.
"I um…"He stutters as she grabs his hand and pulls him inside the door. "I…"
Bonnie giggles, finding how flustered he is amusing. She closes in on him until she's flush against him and that's when she makes her move.
Stefan groans as Bonnie starts to nibble on his neck. "That feels so good." He growls lowly before coming to his senses once again. He has to get her out of here even though that's the last thing he wants to do. "Listen, Bonnie?" He waits until she pulls back to look at him. "I need you to come to the boardinghouse with me."
"But, we're here all by ourselves. No interruptions. We can do whatever we want, wherever we want" She cups his face in her hands and licks his ear. "And I want to…" She pulls him into a frantic kiss.
Stefan eagerly returns the kiss before pulling away with a groan. As the blood rushes to his groin he has to stop himself from pulling her in for more. "Yeah we are alone, but I want you in my bed." He opts for a partial truth. He does want her in his bed, but he would have no problems taking Bonnie here under normal circumstances. Still he continues hoping that she'll come with him. "Your scent all over my bed, I've thought about it so much and I need that to happen. Will you let that happen?"
Bonnie leans in close until she is only a few centimeters away from him. "Okay, but you should know that I'm not keeping my hands to myself." And with that she moves one of her hands down his body and grabs on to his erection, squeezing softly.
He hisses and quickly removes her hand from around him and grabs her hand. "Please don't do that." He pleads with her.
Bonnie only sends him a wicked grin, outright laughing when he pulls her out the door and rushes them to his car.
-X-
Hunter groans as Tyler levels another punch at him causing him to fall to the floor. They've been brawling for awhile now and he's covered in black and blue bruises. Tyler looks a lot better, but only because he has rapid healing abilities. Hunter rubs at his face before leaping up and using his powers on the dog, knocking him to the floor.
"I always knew I was the better man." He glances down at Tyler, grinning when he doesn't get up.
-X-
Stefan grunts when Bonnie pushes him into one of the walls of the boardinghouse and presses her lips to his. The ride over had been torture. Bonnie stayed true to her word and he spent the entire drive avoiding her advances. Something that had been incredibly difficult when he really wanted to give in to them. But with some will power he didn't know he had, he managed to keep his hands off of her.
Even now all he wants to do is lift her in his arms and sink into her wet heat, but he knows he can't. So he lets out a long breath and gently pushes her away."Come with me." He grabs her arm and pulls her with him.
He stops in his tracks when he gets as far as the hallway leading to the bedrooms and he sees a feral Matt standing next to a half dressed Jeremy and Caroline who are clearly planning on getting undressed based on the way they are kissing. He can only assume Matt woke up and started yelling which brought the couple out of Jeremy's room.
"I'm gonna get someone to turn me if it's the last thing I do." Matt snarls when he sees Stefan and Bonnie.
"Not if I have something to say about it." Stefan speeds over to Matt and gently knocks him out for second time before moving to the dresser and pulling out two pairs of handcuffs. He uses one pair and quickly handcuffs Matt to the bed.
Stefan, what's going on?" Bonnie asks when Stefan materializes in front of her again.
"It's what I was trying to tell you earlier…" He stands in front of her and leads her backward toward a steel bar in one corner of the room. He presses a kiss to her forehead before pulling back and looking at her with sad eyes. "I'm sorry." His voice is soft as he handcuffs her wrist to the bar.
"Why are you doing this?" Bonnie asks sadly when she realizes what he's done.
"Because I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. This is the only way to keep you safe." He cups her cheek, marveling at how soft her skin is before pulling back. Slowly, he stands up and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Bonnie glances around the room and sees an unconscious Matt before her gaze moves to Jeremy and Caroline. "It's bad enough you tricked me into thinking you wanted me, but did you have to leave me in a room with these two!" She rolls her eyes at a kissing Jeremy and Caroline.
Outside, Stefan walks toward Elena who is carrying an unconscious Asha in her arms. He watches as she lays the witch down on a nearby sofa before meeting him across the room. "Is she okay?" He asks when sees the dried blood on Asha's shirt.
"For now." She reassures him. "I found her in the park performing spell after spell. She didn't even notice the blood dripping from her nose. I had to knock her out to get her to stop and it worked, but we both know that's only a temporary solution. "
"Yeah, we won't be able to keep them subdued for too much longer." He frowns and glances at the door behind him.
"So what happened?" Elena asks when she takes in the splintered door.
"Oh Matt decided to get Caroline to bust down the door. I managed to fix it to keep them all in there, but I don't know how long it will last. Also you should know that Bonnie is under the influence as well."
"How can you be sure?"
"She keeps coming on to me for one thing."Stefan sighs as the last half hour comes to his mind.
Elena rolls her eyes at that, slightly shocked at how blind Stefan is when it comes to Bonnie's feelings for him. "How can you be sure that she didn't just come to the realization that she has feelings for you?"
"She came on to me despite her relationship with Aidan, that's not like her."
"You're right." Elena admits with a nod, knowing she would make sure to end things with Aidan before starting anything with Stefan. "So you have any ideas for why this happened?"
"Well we're both fine, so I can only assume that whatever happened to them must have happened after we left." He pauses when he remembers who else was there before they left earlier. "I just remembered that Aidan was there when we left."
"You're right he was… which means that whatever happened to them…" she glances at the closed bedroom. "…probably happened to him as well." She frowns worriedly.
"I'll go check on him; you stay here with Bonnie and the others."
"While you're gone I'll keep trying to call Tyler. Asha has no idea where he went, but I'm hoping he'll pick up eventually. God this is such a mess."
Stefan pulls his keys out of his pocket and gives her small smile. "Don't worry, we'll fix this."
Elena nods and he rushes out of the room. She sighs as she glances at Asha before opening the door to check on the others.
-X-
Hunter grins cruelly as he looks down at an unconscious Tyler, now all he'll have to do is kill the bastard and then Asha will be all his. He should probably feel bad about this since the dog was obviously affected by the spell, but he doesn't. As far as he's concerned the dog is getting what's coming to him. But before he silences the dog for good he'll have a little fun with the bastard.
-X-
When Elena walks inside the room containing her friends she immediately greeted with a glare from Bonnie while Caroline and Jeremy are two engrossed in each other to notice her presence. She shudders as the two continue to kiss frantically, though she is happy to find they are only kissing. She sees Matt knocked out on the bed and hopes that he doesn't wake up anytime soon because she knows it won't be pretty.
"Elena? Why are you and Stefan doing this?" Bonnie frowns at her friend.
"Bonnie, can you honestly tell me that you all aren't acting a little strange?"
"I'll admit that they might be acting strange." She glances at Matt, Caroline, and Jeremy. "But I'm perfectly fine."
"Okay, then explain why you've spent the last couple of hours coming on to Stefan." Elena raises an eyebrow at her handcuffed friend.
"I'm in love with Stefan. You know that." She looks at Elena as though she's lost her mind.
"Yeah, but you also have a boyfriend and you wouldn't act on your feelings for Stefan without breaking up with him first."
"You may have a point." Bonnie admits reluctantly. "So you think we're under the influence of some kind of spell?"
"Yes." She nods. "Matt wants to be turned so he can prove himself, Caroline and Jeremy can't keep their hands off of each other, you're intent on seducing Stefan, and Asha is about to kill herself using magic."
"She is?" Her worry for Asha quickly overriding her desire for Stefan.
"Yeah and we still have no idea where Tyler is or why this is happening to you all."
"If it's a spell, it has to be a powerful one. Who do we know that has the ability to perform a spell that powerful?"
"Hunter." They both say at the same time.
"Okay so if he did perform a spell, is it possible to override it somehow?"
"Yeah, but since I don't have a close connection to him I doubt I'll be able to tap into the original spell to break it."
"Then we're screwed." Elena frowns.
"Not necessarily" Bonnie shakes her head. "I don't have a close enough connection, but I'm pretty sure Asha does."
-X-
Within twenty minutes Stefan has made it to Aidan's apartment and immediately knocks on the door. He jolts slightly when the door opens on its own. Slowly he walks inside and is surprised when he sees a beautiful girl with curly hair standing a few feet away from the door.
"You must be Stefan." Sally glances at the handsome vampire with the grey eyes. No wonder Aidan seemed a little jealous of him whenever he would mention Bonnie's friend.
"And you must be Sally. Bonnie told me about you. I'm sorry that we we're meeting under these circumstances, but has Aidan been acting strange?
"Yes, actually." She nods as she and Stefan walk further into the room "It's some kind of spell. He came home and was acting so weird. It got so bad that I had to knock him out." She gestures toward Aidan's still form.
He's blinks at unconscious Aidan on the ground. "So I was right." He continues when she gives him a confused look. "Bonnie and a lot of our friends have been acting similarly."
"How come you weren't affected?" Sally looks at him curiously.
"I wasn't there when it happened, but I remembered that Aidan was and thought I would come here to check up on him. Make sure he was okay."
"You're in love with her aren't you?" Sally guesses right away, having seen the look in his eyes when he said Bonnie's name.
"Yes." He admits honestly.
"Why help him?"
"It's the right thing to do and besides Bonnie cares about him so I'm going to try my best to help him." The moment the sentence is out of his mouth, his phone rings.
"Elena, what is it?" He doesn't bother with a greeting, knowing that her reason for calling has to be serious.
"We figured out where Tyler went. He went to see Hunter. I would go there myself, but I don't want to leave the others alone."
Stefan frowns, knowing that if Tyler went to see the blonde man, it wasn't to talk to the witch. "Okay...I'll head over there as soon as I can." He hangs up and turns his attention to Sally. "I need to go, but…"
"I'll be fine." She jumps in to reassure him. "I can handle Aidan just fine."
"Okay." He smiles and rushes out the door.
When he's gone, Sally kneels down, watching Aidan intently.
-X-
Before Hunter can use the stake, it's ripped out of his hand and then he's being lifted in the air and thrown to the ground.
"Stefan?" Hunter looks up at the angry vampire staring down at him. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You do have a habit of playing the superhero these days, surprising considering your history."
"What did you do?"Stefan shouts. "I know what's going on with everyone is because of something you did. And don't even think about lying to me."
"It wasn't intentional. The plan was to get Asha to see we were meant to be together by casting a spell that would make her lose her inhibitions, but obviously the spell affected everyone in the house at time.
"That's disgusting." Stefan narrows his eyes at the man.
"Are you really any different from me, Stefan? I see the way you look at Bonnie. You can't tell me you wouldn't do the same if it meant getting to be with her. We're alike in that respect." Hunter smirks cockily.
"We're nothing alike because all I've ever wanted was Bonnie to be happy even if that's not with me. You on the other hand only care about yourself. That's why you did this spell because you knew Asha would never willingly be with you." He speeds over to Hunter and grabs him by the neck. "You should be glad it didn't work because if it had and Asha ended up sleeping with you. I'd kill you myself."
"What a surprise, a vampire making threats to humans." Hunter grins smugly. "Too bad there's nothing you can do to stop me." He raises his hand to use his powers on Stefan.
"He may not be able to stop you, but I sure as hell can." Bonnie says as she walks into the room causing Stefan and Hunter to turn toward the doorway.
"Bonnie? You're back to normal?" Stefan looks at Bonnie who seems to actually be in control compared to the last time he saw her.
"How the hell did you stop the spell?" Hunter glares at Bonnie. Leave it to her to ruin his plans.
"I didn't actually stop the spell, she did." She looks behind her just as Asha walks into the room.
"Asha?"
"I defended you, even when my friends said you were a bastard. And you do this?" Asha glares at him, something akin to hate in her eyes.
"I love you and I needed you to realize we were meant to be together."
"It was never going to happen and you knew that, that's why you did the spell."
"So I was right you don't want me because of him." He glances at an unconscious Tyler and frowns.
"Not because of him, even if I wasn't with Tyler it would have never happened. I don't love you and now I'm wondering how the hell I could have even liked you as person. You're pathetic."
"So what are you two going to kill me?" He glances between Bonnie and Asha.
"Nope." Bonnie glances at the door before giving him a smug smile. "But I did call the Witches' Council and they agreed that you shouldn't be allowed to roam the public."
"What did you do?" Hunter growls when he sees two older witches walk into the room. It's clear based on their expressions and the way they are dressed that they are from the Witches' Council.
"I'm not letting you go that easily." Hunter tries to reach for Asha.
"Go to hell." Asha punches Hunter and rushes over to an unconscious Tyler. She lightly taps his cheek until he regains consciousness and is rewarded with a huge smile.
"When did you get here?" Tyler smiles up at his girlfriend until the last few hours with Hunter suddenly come back to him. "Oh my god, did I kill him?" He asks as he slowly sits up, worry clenching in his gut. He may have wanted to teach the bastard a lesson, but not like that.
"No, he's alive. But he was about to kill you until Stefan stopped him."
"Good." He exhales in relief. "What's going to happen to him?"
Asha glances across the room where the two witches are leading a handcuffed Hunter out of the room. One of them stops briefly to whisper something to Bonnie.
Across the room, Bonnie steps away from the witch and turns to face Stefan.
"What did she say?" Stefan asks, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"That he'll be locked up for a while and that this wasn't the first time he tried something like this." She glances at Tyler and Asha who are currently hugging. "I'm just glad his plan didn't succeed."
Stefan agrees with nod. "Speaking of the spell, I'm glad to see you back to normal." He smiles at her.
"I'm glad to be back." She returns his smile, but it fades just as quickly when she remembers what happened while she was under the spell. Stefan must be horrified by the way she came onto him.
Stefan sees her frown and assumes she's thinking about Aidan. "I checked on Aidan before I came here, but I'm sure you want to see how he's doing."
"Yeah, you're right. I'll see you later I guess." She gives him a weak smile before walking out of the room.
Stefan watches her go with sad eyes before turning to check on Asha and Tyler. When he's sure they are okay, he leaves as well.
-X-
Caroline opens the door to her bedroom, flipping the light switch as she walks in, Jeremy right behind her. They've haven't said much of anything since they were brought out of that spell and realized what happened. Needless to say the car ride had been on the awkward side. Now they are completely alone in her bedroom and she has no idea what to say.
Jeremy watches as Caroline glances around the room, obviously unsure what to say. Deciding to bite the bullet, he starts to speak. "I'm sorry Care. I know you wanted to wait and…" He begins his apology only to be cut off.
"No, Jer, I'm glad it happened. I've been allowing my fears to get in the way of our relationship and now I realize how unnecessary it was. What happened earlier was amazing and I don't regret it one bit. Do you regret it?"
"I definitely don't regret it." He shakes his head as his mind goes to earlier when he devoured her with his mouth and cock. He blinks out of those thoughts when he sees the nervous look on her face. "If you don't regret what happened, why do you seem nervous?"
"The couch in the boardinghouse living is not exactly the place I pictured for our first time."
"Yeah, I pictured it going a lot differently." He agrees. "But it will always be special for me and I hope you feel the same." He smiles at her.
His smile is all it takes for her nervousness to go away and then she only has one thing on her mind. "I do feel the same way, but I think we should have a redo." She smiles at him.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying I'm nowhere near done with you." She allows her dress to side down her body before climbing into her bed.
"That's good because I have so much more to give you." Jeremy grins, lifts his shirt over his head and pulls down his pants before sauntering over to her.
-X-
After a shower and a good meal, Tyler and Asha cuddle together on his couch. Asha has been quiet so far and Tyler knows that she is feeling guilty about what happened. "Ash, you know you're not responsible for his actions." He grabs her chin so he can look into her eyes.
"I should have noticed how bad off he was, you and Bonnie have been telling me that for months and I didn't listen. If I had, maybe he wouldn't have taken things so far."
"I don't think it would have mattered, he was intent on making you his no matter how you felt. Something like this was bound to happen. So I don't want you to feel guilty about what that bastard did." He looks at her intently. "Okay?"
"Okay, but only if you take the same advice. I know you're thinking about what you did while you were under that spell.
"It scared me, all I wanted to do was kill him and for no good reason other than I couldn't stand him. I've wanted to kill before, wanted revenge before, but never to this degree. What does that say about me?"
"The spell he did was intended to bring out our deepest desires and it took away our consciences, which is the one thing that would stop us from acting them out. You went after him because you two have been having issues for more than a year now and with your conscience out of the way, you acted on it. So like you said before the only person that should feel guilty about this is Hunter."
"You're right." He smiles at her and tightens his hold on her. "So how are you feeling about this magic thing?"
"I'm feeling a lot better actually. This whole thing helped me realize that there can be a healthy medium when it comes to my magic. I'm no longer afraid of doing spells, but I also have no intentions on overdoing it like I did earlier today."
"Good because seeing that blood on your dress is something I never want to see again."
Asha smiles and Tyler leans in to kiss her.
-X-
Aidan and Sally are sitting on the couch when they hear a knock at the door. He uses enhanced hearing and determines that Bonnie is at the door. He stands up slowly and quickly makes his way to the door. Sally frowns, knowing he plans on ending things with Bonnie because of their feelings for each other They've been arguing about it since the moment he woke up and though there is a part of her that is glad she won't have to see him with someone else, she also hates the idea of Aidan wasting his life when they can't even touch.
She watches as he opens the door and Bonnie walks in.
"Hey." Aidan greets her with a nervous smile.
"Hey." Bonnie returns the greeting and glances at Sally, giving her warm greeting before turning her gaze back to Aidan. "I thought we should talk."
"Yeah we should." Aidan agrees as Bonnie walks into his living room.
Sally attempts to the leave the room, but Aidan gives her warning look so she stays put.
Aidan paces back and forth, trying to figure out how to admit what's been going on between him and Sally. "Look, Bonnie…I don't know how to tell you this, but…"
"You're in love with Sally." Bonnie guesses before Aidan can finish his confession.
Sally and Aidan's eyes widen in shock at her revelation.
"I saw the way you looked at her the other day." She points out when she sees the surprised looks on their faces. "Like she was the most precious thing to you, I also saw way she looks at you." She glances at Sally who looks down guiltily. "I know this because I feel the same way about Stefan, I have for awhile. I thought moving on would help me forget about him, but it didn't. And after what happened with this spell I can't lie to myself anymore and I'm guessing you feel the same way about Sally." She glances at Aidan.
"You're right, I've been lying to myself and I can't push down those feelings" He admits easily. "I'm sorry, Bonnie."
"Don't be." She smiles softly."We had a nice run, but now it's time for us to move on." She leans up and presses a kiss to his cheek.
"I just hope you get the happy ending that we can't have." Aidan glances at Sally sadly.
"Actually…about that, I think I might have a way to help."
"How?" Sally and Aidan ask simultaneously.
"Let's just say it's not the first time I've brought someone back to life."
"Your ex?" Aidan guesses.
"Bonnie we can't ask you to do that, not after what happened the last time." Sally protests, shaking her head. As much she wants to be alive again, she won't risk Bonnie's life in order for it to happen.
"You're not asking me, I volunteered." Bonnie says determinedly. "Besides I didn't know what I was doing then, but I do now. It will work." She waits for them to give her an answer and when they nod their agreement she gets started on the spell.

When Matt comes to for a second time he finds that instead of the boarding house, he's in his own bed with Elena watching over him.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Elena moves closer to him on the bed. Even though she knew Stefan had been careful when knocked him out earlier, she hadn't been able to stop the worry from creeping up in her gut.
"I'm okay." He sits up and is just getting ready to smile at Elena when he sees the look on her face.
"We have to talk."
"Talk?"
"Yeah, I want to know the reason were intent on killing yourself so you could be turned, the real one not the crap about needing to compete with Stefan and Damon.
"I'm scared that one day something will happen and I won't be able to protect you, I'm scared about our future. How can this work when you're a supernatural being and I'm just a normal human?" It's something he's been thinking about a lot since he and Elena have gotten more serious.
"I'm not going to lie to you, the fact that I'm immortal and you're not has crossed my mind, but only because I don't like the thought of living without you. Turning you has never come up because I love you just as you are." She holds his face in her hands. "I wouldn't be with you if I didn't think you were enough and I hope you'll realize just how much I love you."
"I'm starting to see that." Matt sees the emotion and love in her eyes. Still something is nagging at him. "What I decide down the line that I want to be turned?"
"If you ever decide to be turned it should because it's what you want. Not because you think you have to protect or prove something to me.
"We're clear." Matt smiles and pulls Elena into his arms.
-X-
A few hours later, Bonnie is in her bedroom when she hears a soft knock to the door. "Come in." She yells out, blinking in surprise when she sees Stefan standing in the threshold.
"Hey." He greets her with a smile. "I came to check on you, see how you were doing."
"I'm okay, a little embarrassed but I'm okay." She feels her face warm as she remembers the way she came on to him. The worst part is she doesn't even regret it. "By the way thanks for being so good about all of this. A lot of guys would have taken advantage of the situation, but you didn't."
"No thank you necessary, you would have done the same thing for me." He feels his groin tighten as he remembers how her lips felt against his and how perfectly she fit into his lap. He knows it will even harder for him to control his himself around her now that he's gotten a taste of her. He clears his throat and decides to change the subject, knowing that he'll be sporting a large bulge if he continues thinking along those lines. "So how's Aidan doing?"
"He's fine…we kind of broke up though."
Stefan's eyes widen as he takes in the news, but he manages to suppress the initial burst of joy he feels at the news and instead moves to comfort her. "I'm sorry." He grabs her hand.
"I'm not." She shakes her head surprising Stefan. "What happened made us both realize that we were together because it was easier than admitting who we really wanted to be with." She gives him a look that reveals all the feelings she's been holding back. "That spell only brought out what I've been feeling for a while. Stefan, I'm in love with you." She looks away afraid to see the rejection in his eyes.
"I meant what I said when you were under that spell." Stefan blurts out causing Bonnie to meet his gaze once again. "About taking you up on your offer once you were back to normal."
"Really?"
"Bonnie, I've been in love with you for what seems like forever."
"Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"You seemed happy with Jeremy and then Aidan. I didn't want to rock the boat."
"But I was single for months between them. Why not say anything then?"
"I guess I thought you deserved better than me. After everything I've done to you I decided to keep my feelings to myself."
"But, we've moved past that."
"I know, but…" He starts to stay, but Bonnie presses her fingers to his lips to quiet him.
"But nothing. I know you're sorry about that and I know that you wouldn't hurt me that way again."
Stefan nods gratefully until a thought occurs to him. "Okay if you've felt this way about me then why didn't you say anything?"
"Because every time I turned around you were with a new woman and then there's the Elena factor."
"Elena?" He frowns in confusion. "But I'm not in love with her anymore."
"Yeah, but I didn't know that when I first realized I had feelings for you and by the time I did, you were basically going out with a new woman every night."
"I was only sleeping around because I was trying to forget about my feelings for you. It didn't work though and I found myself thinking about you even when I was with them."
"Yeah, I don't really want to hear about the women you've been with." Bonnie scrunches her face up in disgust.
"Sorry." Stefan winces sheepishly. "I just wanted you to know that I was always thinking about you."
"So what do we do now?"
The words are barely out of her mouth before the two are lunging at each other, their mouths moving together heatedly. Within seconds they are flush against each other, Bonnie's hands are in his hair and her tongue is in his mouth. She moans and notes that this kiss is even better than the ones they shared while she was under that spell.
Still when Stefan's hands start to go lower and graze her ass, Bonnie realizes that it's time to hit the brakes. "Wait…"She presses her hands to his chest, pushing him away. "We should take this slow." She heavily trying to catch her breath. As much as she wants to continue she has to wonder if it's a good idea for them to end up in bed the same night she broke up with Aidan.
"Yeah, you're right, I should go." He pulls away from her mouth and takes a step backward despite wanting nothing more than to continue kissing her. But they should take their time with this. So that's what they will do even though his hormones are overflowing.
"Well, I guess this is goodnight." Bonnie smiles, though inwardly she doesn't want him to leave at all.
"Goodnight." Stefan says before he leans in to press a kiss to her cheek before turning on his heel and heading toward the door.
They each think about their encounters earlier that day, they think about how the nights they've spent thinking about each other and both come to the conclusion that they don't want to wait anymore. That life is too short and they aren't promised tomorrow.
"Then again," She calls out to him and he turns around to face her. "Slow can be overrated."
The moment the words are out of her mouth, Stefan speeds over to her, swings her up into his arms and carries her across the room before laying her carefully on the bed. Bonnie sits up and immediately starts undressing him. His leather jacket and his black t-shirt come off, leaving him in his jeans. He kicks off his boots and gets out of his jeans and boxers before reaching behind Bonnie to unzip her dress.
As he slides it down her body he stares at her in awe, taking in her long legs, tiny waist, perky breasts, and her beautiful neck. He gasps when her hair frames her face and he gets the urge to run his fingers through it.
Their eyes meet and he gulps when she says. "I want you to touch me."
He nods and gently pushes her backward on the bed before slowly pulling her underwear off. Once he's gotten her as naked as he is, Stefan presses a kiss to her lips, to her collarbone, stopping at her breasts. She moans softly and he pulls back, watching as her chest starts to heave with each breath she takes. Their eyes meet and Stefan feels his cock harden as he sees the arousal in her eyes.
Bonnie murmurs his name when he takes a nipple into his mouth before he promptly moves to the other one. She writhes anxiously beneath as his hands come into play, softly squeezing the round globes. The feel of Stefan's mouth and hands on her cause her to grow wetter and the scent of her arousal fills the air.
He kisses his way down her stomach, making a point of swirling his tongue in her belly button before moving between her legs. His mouth waters when sees just how wet she is for him and he is unable to stop the smug smile from appearing on her face.
Eager to have his mouth on her, Bonnie spreads her legs wider, revealing her wet folds.
Stefan takes the hint and finally lowers his mouth to her. He moans happily as her arousal hits his tongue. In all his years he has never tasted anything so good and proves it he proves it by. He licks her from top to bottom before running the tip of his tongue across her clit. The more time he spends between her legs, the more turned on he gets and knows if he stays down there it won't be long before he's coming.
Bonnie screams out in pleasure and a bit of pain when he suddenly pulls away and crawls up her body, settling his hips between her legs.
"Stefan." she utters his name in confusion just before he leans down to kiss her. The moment their lips meet, the kiss becomes frantic. .
"I have to be inside you now, Bonnie." Stefan whispers against her lips before he pushes inside her.
She gasps as he fills her and she marvels at how complete she feels with him inside of her. Similarly, Stefan marvels at how hot and tight she feels around his cock.
Over and over Stefan plunges into her, grunting as he feels wave after wave of pleasure hits him. Bonnie raises her arms and wraps them around his neck, using her fingers to play with the hair at the nape of his neck.
The knowledge that he is finally with the woman he loves, reaching places he never thought he would before, is what causes him to lose control. His hips move against hers faster and faster until the headboard is slamming against the wall.
They continue their pace until Stefan feels Bonnie erupt, his name on her lips. Her muscles tighten around him and he pumps into her a few more times because he comes as well.
-X-
Their second time is even more urgent if possible.
This time Bonnie hovers over him, teasing him with lingering kisses until she sees the dark lust in his eyes. Once she finally has him where she wants him, she lowers her hips, spreading her legs wide in order to take him all in. The moment he gets to the hilt, she stops and they both enjoy the sensation of being joined once again.
She moves her hips up and down, quickly establishing her rhythm. She moans when he grabs her hips and starts to quicken their pace. Bonnie continues to ride him, her legs tightening around his back. It's not long before she starts to feel the waves of her orgasm and she comes hard and fast against him.
Bonnie barely comes down from her high before Stefan is rolling them over and pushing harder inside of her, building her desire once again. His thrusts become deeper and he pulls her closer to him. Bonnie's legs inch higher up his back and within minutes she's crashing once again, his name falling from her lips.
Stefan only gets in one more thrust before he's joins her with a loud shout.
-X-
The third time is when Stefan claims her. He's deep inside of her and she's writhing underneath him when he kisses her neck. It's at that moment that he feels the throb of her pulse and he just has to have a taste. As soon as the thought forms in his mind, his fangs elongate and he's sinking his teeth through her soft skin.
Bonnie tenses at first her eyes opening wide, but when Stefan continues thrusting and finds her spot, she's forgets all about being afraid. Instead she's coming hard and fast in a mind-blowing orgasm that causes her to scream his name. As she gets lost in the throes of her peak, she presses her neck closer to his face, causing Stefan's fangs to slide in deeper than he had planned.
Stefan moans as the sweet taste of her blood fills his mouth. The fact that she's a witch and is currently in the midst of an orgasm only makes it better. So much so that he starts to do something he's never once thought about doing in all the years he's been a vampire. Claim the woman he loves, the woman who has become everything to him. He wants to see his mark on her neck whenever he sees her, wants others to know that she's his and only his.
However the moment those thoughts fully register in his mind Stefan pulls away from her neck and stops thrusting, shock all over his face. "I'm sorry…I-I didn't mean to do that."
"Stefan, I know you're a vampire and with that comes biting. Granted up until now all of my experiences were associated with pain, but I didn't mind trying it under more fun circumstances for the first time." If she's honest she had been a little nervous when she first felt his fangs pierce her neck, but after a while it started to feel good and when she came it made the orgasm even better.
"First time? So you and Aidan never..." Stefan trails off, not really wanting to finish the sentence.
"No."She shakes her head "Somehow it seemed wrong to let anyone but you have that honor." She smiles softly.
"I'm happy to hear that, but what happened just now is a little more complicated than that. I almost claimed you just now, which is different from just biting you. And despite coming to my senses everything in me still wants to claim you."
"What does that mean exactly?" She's heard of the ritual, but she's not well versed on the details.
"It means that whenever other supernatural beings are around you, they'll know right away that you're mine. Our connection would also be more intense and we would be tied to each other forever. It's not something I've ever done before, but when we were making love it just felt right."
"You've never claimed anyone before?" She looks up at Stefan in surprise. Considering his history she figured he had a lot of experience with it.
"No, you're the first woman I've wanted to do this with. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Yes even her."He adds when he sees the brief look of doubt on her face. "But I'll understand if that's not something you want."
"No I want you to. I want to be yours." She moves her hair out of the way showing off her neck. She can't explain why, but the thought of belonging to Stefan is incredibly appealing to her.
Touched by her trust, Stefan slowly leans in and very carefully sinks his fangs into her neck. He takes a few sips of her blood before retracting and sealing the mark with his tongue.
Afterwards he continues their lovemaking, the feel of her blood in his system making things all the more intense between them.
-X-
The fourth time they go slower, but it's no less passionate than the previous times.
She wakes up to get a glass of water from the bathroom and when she comes back Stefan's out of bed with his gaze fixed on her. Before she even has a chance to blink, he has her pressed against one of the walls.
He's pounding her against the wall when he demands gutturally, "Bonnie, look at me," She does. "I love you." He thrusts deeper inside of her.
Bonnie's breath hitches and she is unable to keep her eyes open, but she still says, "I- love you, too."
Satisfied, Stefan starts to kiss her neck, lingering around his bite mark, as he pumps harder inside of her. "Tell me again." He loves hearing those words.
"I love you." She utters again with a moan.
He sighs happily as he pulls away from her neck. "I love you, too."
