I knew this question was going to come up sooner or later and I knew that Damon wanted a truthful answer. I was hesitating and that wasn't always a good sign. He waited patiently. He had to give me a little time since he sort of jumped me with question without giving me any time. But then again if I really loved him I probably would have said it by now.

My heart was pumping loudly in my chest and I was breathing heavier than usual.

"Elena," He paused for a second. I could see the love in his eyes. I knew he truly loved me and I thought of everything that Damon has ever done for me and given me. Every single thing in one flash of a moment. I showed him my love by pulling his lips to mine and kissing him as hard as I could. A little tongue and I tumbled on top of him. We were a hot kissing mess right now.

"Elena, if this is your way of avoiding the question and distracting me," He paused looked me up and down and grinned. "You're doing a very good job," I giggled and kissed his neck tenderly moving my lips up to his ear. A little thinking and remembering could go a long way.

"I love you Damon Salvatore," My heart thumped from those words. I had said it, but it was going to take a little while for me to get used to saying it to him. Damon pushed the hair from my face and smiled.

"I knew you did, I just wanted to hear the words from you myself," Damon admired me on top of him. He liked this position we were in right now. I could feel it. Literally I could feel it. I didn't necessarily want to do anything like that tonight, but right now my body was radiating with love. Damon could probably see that very clearly. Damon pulled my shirt up and over my head running his fingers over my naked flesh. It was warm and so where his hands. They felt good on my body. My lids fell closed and I embraced the feeling of Damon taking possession of what was rightfully his.

Our bodies were tangled together, hot lips on the nape of my neck. Hands pulling my legs apart. Sweat dripping from our bodies. Slow thrusts and deep passion was being formed between the two of us.

"Damon," I whispered again. We were making love. Not sex, not some random fling. Damon and I were both in love and we were definitely making it tonight. He brought me to what felt like the end of forever, his arms circled around me. He collapsed on top of me. I loved the weight of him on me though. The warmth that his body brought to me. His closeness was enough to lull me to sleep. "I love you Elena," He breathed into my ear. I kissed his neck lightly.

"I love you so much Damon," We slept together that night. Together in each other's arms without a care in the world.

Stefan and Katherine (third person)

Stefan was drowning out his pain with alcohol now. If he drank too much blood he would turn into his brother and that was the last thing he wanted. He never wanted to be his brother. But now he knew how Damon felt when Katherine chose him over Damon.

"What are you thinking about Stefan? Are you going to take my word and leave this place for good," He was on the couch now his head in his hands. Stefan shook his head back and forth.

"No, I'm not going to leave, the last time I did that it just made me want to come back here, that's probably what will happen again," Stefan mumbled and Katherine came over and sat next to him gently rubbing his back.

"I understand how much you're hurting, why don't you relax a little, take a breather," Katherine started rubbing his back. Nice and easy movements. "Forget all about Elena and Damon. Don't even think of them. Think calming thoughts," She cooed gently. Now she was behind him running her hands up the back of his shirt feeling his muscles. The strange thing was that he was allowing it. That wasn't like Stefan. But the past few hours he'd been doing some thinking. Elena didn't want to be with him anymore. For whatever reason that was she wanted Damon. Katherine here wanted Stefan. Katherine wasn't much different than Elena, and he was in love with both Katherine and Elena. What if he just forgot that Elena ever existed and went back to Katherine. She would be happy and she hasn't been a bitch recently.

Stefan quickly turned and faced the vampire. "Katherine," He breathed. They looked at one another for a long moment. They were at one another in seconds. They both had the same things on their mind. They had both been through a lot, and they both were hurting. They're kisses were hard and ruthless. Katherine threw her clothes off and was helping Stefan with his.

"No, we can't do this," He pulled away from her, feeling ashamed.

"Yes we can Stefan," She turned his head back towards her. At that moment she looked a lot like Elena. The look in her eyes. There was no hint of Katherine. "We can start over, start new," They were both panting heavily.

"Stefan I love you and I always have loved you and I know deep down that you still love me, we can work this out," She placed soft kisses on his throat and down his chest. He was giving in. He was tired of being hurt. He couldn't deny his feelings anymore.

Stefan threw Katherine against the couch and buried himself into her just as she liked it and wanted it. They weren't making love though, they were having sex.

Elena's Point of View

I woke up with an ache in my thighs. It was a good pleasureful ache though. Damon was curled around me, with a sleepy smile on his face. The memory's of last night came flooding back in. I told him that I loved him, and we made love. The best that I've ever had. It seems like that was the only thing that Damon and I were doing anymore. We couldn't really be seen in public though, just because it was still a secret relationship. I sighed throwing the covers from my body. Stepping into the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was all over the place. A complete mess. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and went back in to check on Damon. Still sound asleep in bed, just as I had left him. I figured a quick shower would be good so that I smelled good for him when I woke up. I turned the water on and got ready to get in, when two arms wrapped themselves around me. I guess I wasn't getting away with getting a shower.

"What do you think you are doing missy?" He mumbled into my shoulder pulling me back against his naked body. A felt my face become hot. I would have thought he would have put some clothes on since Jenna could have easily walked in at any moment.

"I was going to get a shower so I smelled good for you when you woke up," I slowly swayed my hips back and forth emitting a growl from my vampire.

"Ah, the shower, doesn't this bring up good memories. Why don't we reenact that memory," My body grew hot. I remembered what happened with that shower too.

"Damon," I turned so I was facing him. He looked so cute this morning. His hair was about as messy as my own and his blue eyes were huge. I just wanted to hug him all day. If that was something that I was able to do, I would do it in a heart beat.

"Elena?" He waved his hand in front of my eyes. I had lost my train of thought. I was staring at him again too.

"Sorry, I just think we should slow down the amount of sex that we are having," It wasn't that I didn't like it. I just wanted to spend my time doing other activity's with Damon. He flashed that cocky grin.

"What don't you like it, am I being too rough with you?" I was about to slap him, I held it in.

"No, it's just I think we should slow down is all," I slid my hand down his chest onto his stomach, nearing his area a little too closely than I wanted to. "I want more than sex in our relationship Damon," Again with the whole secret thing it was hard to get out and do things. I thought he understood, but at the time I was saying it he was staring at my chest lustfully. I snapped my fingers in his face.

"My mouth is up here," He pulled me into his arms and we rocked back and forth slowly.

"I'm sorry Elena, and I know that we should take things slow and I'm sorry that you can't help your raging hormones and resist my charm and the way I just turn you on, and make you want to do dirty things with me," He teased caressing my hip and moving it around to my ass. I pulled away glaring at him.

"I think you're the one who can't resist my body and the way I turn you on," I pointed down to his arousal. It seemed to be up all the time he was around me. Damon frowned took my hand and pulled me into the shower to help his little, well big problem.

Stefan and Katherine (Third Person)

Stefan shot up from the couch. His head was pounding and he pretty much forgot everything that happened last night. Everything that's happened to him recently has felt more and more like a dream. There was a blanket thrown overtop him with a woman under the blanket resting on his body. Her hair was chesnut and brown. Elena. He lightly pulled her hair back. He liked to think that this was a dream and that this was actually Elena laying there with him, that she was the one he slept with last night. But it wasn't a dream and it was real. It was Katherine laying there on top of him pretty much knocked out from last night's activity's. Stefan couldn't believe that he'd actually given into her and had his way with her. He convinced himself that he was upset and needed someone at the moment.

"I'm glad you're finally awake. I've been laying here for almost an hour looking at your chest Stefan," Katherine grinned and moved up his body until her face was resting against his neck. He didn't want to touch her. He still couldn't believe that he was upset enough to have sex with Katherine. He cheated on Elena, the thing was that Elena had cheated on him first. Did that make it okay for him though? Stefan slid out from under Katherine and gathered his clothes and got dressed not speaking a word.

"What? Are things going to be weird for us again Stefan, just because we had sex does that mean you're just going to toss me away?" Stefan looked like he was going to leave somewhere. "Would you stop ignoring me," She blocked him from going out the door.

"You can't tell me that you didn't feel something last night," She whispered. He avoided eye contact with her. He wanted to forget that last night ever happened. He knew what he had to do next. He had to talk to Elena. He couldn't keep avoiding her like this and neither could she. With what he had done to her, he knew that Damon wasn't going to let Elena come a few hundred feet from him, but that wasn't going to stop him from going to her. They needed to talk.
