A/N: Thank you all you lovely people for your reviews and feedback! :D Can't seem to thank you enough. Here's the next chapter, I'm still unsure as to how long I want this story to be, but good news! I already have another good idea that I wrote half of on my phone because I got excited. So, hope this chapter clears up some questions and makes you all happy! :D

Damon's Point of View

Just like that she walked out the door and to her car. I didn't want to scare her, but every bone in my body was aching for me to stop her and try and explain. The small rational part of me told me that she needed time to process all this information. On the other hand, the more irrational part of me, the part of me that took up more space and made most of my decisions, wanted to rip my brothers heart out.

"Don't even bother, we both knew that she was going to have to find out some time or another," Stefan I don't need your smart ass remarks. I slammed him up against the wall with my hand against his throat.

"What the hell makes you think I made her do anything? Huh? Do you not think for a second that I actually might like her?" Fortunately for me, I was much stronger than Stefan, so I could hold him here until he suffocates. He pushes me back, almost making me hit the stair case railing.

"Not possible, you don't care for anything but yourself Damon, you are incapable of change. I did that so she would run and stay away for good. I don't think we will be seeing her back here anytime soon," I really wasn't in the mood for this small talk. I grabbed hold of his shirt and threw him down against the floor, I threw a couple of punches to his face that would sting and hurt for a short period of time, but getting all that bottled up anger out on his face made me feel a little better.

"Why don't you just leave?" I breathed heavily stepping back away from him waiting for him to make the next move.

"Why don't you leave? There isn't anything here for you," If I left now that would open up the possibility of Stefan comforting Elena and trying to get her if she ever came around to the idea of us being vampires. "I'm here to settle down and start a normal life,"

"A normal life? You're a vampire, you will never be normal no matter how hard you try, you're still in denial while I sit here in bask in the glory of living forever,"

"Don't think that Elena is going to come running back to you any time soon, you didn't really do anything to stop her," I didn't want to talk about her around him anymore. I didn't want him to have anything to do with him right now. I grabbed my leather jacket headed for the door.

"She won't come around Damon, not now," He spoke once more. I almost threw another punch his way but then I thought it wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth it, not after what he had done.

Elena's Point of View

I didn't even bother saying anything to Jeremy or Jenna when I came rushing in through the front door. I tried to get to my room without them seeing my tears. There was no way that I could explain this to them without sounding like I had flew off my rocker. There was no such thing as vampires, they didn't exist, they were made up creatures in old and modern literature. I ran my fingers through my hair frantically and paced my room trying to come up with some logical answer, of course there was none. I slept with a vampire, I had sex with a vampire! Multiple times. I cried harder at the thought. I ended up in a small little pile on the floor holding myself together crying.

It wasn't until an hour later that I crawled into bed with my clothes on. I knew sleep was not going to come to me very easily tonight. I pulled the covers up close to my face. Everything that I had been told about vampires through movies and books was that they drank the blood of humans, they couldn't go out in the sunlight and they had the ability to control one's mind if they were looking right in their eyes.

Damon had said that he never compelled me. Could I trust him? He said nothing to me, he just stood there with that blank look on his face. Thinking of Damon's reaction made me cry harder. There was no point in trying to figure anything out tonight. My tears put me to sleep, crying always took almost everything out of me.

"Elena?" I looked around frantically seeing that I was in a grassy green field, birds were chirping and the sun was pelting on my back. It was truly beautiful, I was dreaming. "Elena?" That voice called to me again.

"Damon?" I searched for him and he appeared out of no where. I wanted to fear him, but this was nothing more than a mere dream, he couldn't hurt me here. He looked so comfortable and relaxed here as he came to sit beside me in the warm grass.

"This place is so beautiful," I laid my back down, closed my eyes and breathed in the sweet summer air. I felt him loom over me, his sweet intoxicating scent filling my nostrils and just like that everything felt like it was before.

"Are you really a vampire?" I asked out of the blue, keeping my eyes closed. I told myself there was no harm in asking now.

"Yes I am, I've been a vampire since 1864, with my brother. Ask anything Elena, I will tell you anything you want to know," This seemed so real, but he was giving me the option to ask any question, what could be the harm?

"What do you eat?" I opened my eyes and met his icy blue ones. Strangely he still looked completely calm and serene, it was a strange sight.

"I can eat human food, but it doesn't serve any purpose, blood satisfies my hunger Elena. I drink the blood of humans," Still there was no fear and I had no desire to run from him even after he said this to me.

"Are you going to feed from me?" I couldn't help but ask whether or not my life was in danger from him.

"Not unless you ask me to, I can control my hunger Elena, Stefan sometimes can't control his thirst. He was once a ripper, but now he keeps those tendencies at bay by drinking from animals. That's not something I believe in, because how can you ever control yourself if you are always keeping yourself from the thing you desire most," Damon answered every question that I had and yet I still wasn't afraid.

"Why am I not afraid? This is just a dream isn't it Damon?" He skimmed his thumb over my cheek back and forth. I loved when he did that, it was such a soothing gesture that made my insides melt.

"It is just a dream, but everything that I'm telling you is the truth, you have to believe me when I say that I was going to tell you, I was just waiting for the proper moment," He admitted. This was all a dream, but everything that he said made sense. Was I going to remember this when I woke up?

"Why didn't you do anything Damon? I was so scared and you just stood there," I shifted so that I was now facing his chest and he wrapped an arm around my waist. I listened to him speak and I could feel his voice vibrate in his chest.

"I didn't know what to do Elena, I didn't think Stefan was going to go that far, I was kind of in shock," I nuzzled my face into his chest. I wish this wasn't a dream, I wish he was with me now. A small part of me wished that he wasn't a vampire, it made him seem so much more strong and superior. I was the weak human and he could snap my neck in a matter of seconds if he wanted to.

"How do you feel about me Damon, why are you in my dream? I don't know how to think or feel," I was throwing multiple questions at him all at once. It was overwhelming for me because they all just sort of came on me at once. The grassy field faded, the sun melted away and I was brought back to my bed in a jolt. The one thing that had not changed was that I was still in Damon's arms and he was holding me tight.

The only other change though was the fear.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in my room," I quickly moved from his grasp and stood beside my bed looking down at him. He stood with me and put his hands out.

"Elena calm down please, just listen to me," He was in my head, how was he in my head. He made me think all those things. I started to panic and freak out. I went back to the pacing and running my fingers through my hair.

"Elena just breathe, I'm not going to hurt you and I'm not going to compel you, I was laying here next to you sending you thoughts so I could give you some information without you feeling afraid," He explained in one quick breath. I looked him up and down again, my eyes locked with his and he looked almost desperate for me to calm down.

"None of this makes any sense Damon! Vampire's aren't real, I don't understand," I dropped my head so he couldn't see that I was about to cry. No no no no, Damon couldn't see me crying.

"Elena, please just try and relax, I don't want to compel you, but I will if that means you will calm down," He came to me and wrapped me in his arms. Like a baby I began to cry. Damon and I ended up on the floor. I tried not to think about the fact that he was a vampire, only that he was here with me right now and he was the only form of comfort that I had.

He ran his hand down my head, flattening my hair. The other hand rubbed my back slowly, those actions right there were almost enough to put me to sleep.

"I won't harm you Elena, I know this is hard for you to grasp, it was all just kind of thrown at you all at once," I held his shirt in my hands and enjoyed this moment. I felt myself relax and once again begin to feel sleepy.

"Everything you said in your dream was true," I mumbled softly. His chin was resting on top of my head and he slowly rocked me back and forth. Maybe he did care about me, if he was going to go through all of this trouble to comfort me and make sure I was alright, he had to care about me.

"Yes," I scooted from him to get a better look at him. I knew my eyes were puffy and unattractive, I was still in my clothes from earlier and I really needed sleep. "Come on," He stood and extended his hand. I was reluctant to take it, I wasn't sure if I was ready to go with him, or if I trusted him entirely.

"We aren't going far," I took his hand and he pulled me up off the floor and to the bathroom. He closed the door and lit a few candles that lingered around the room. He ran the bath and filled it with a sweet smelling soap. He didn't tell me to do anything and he didn't ask anything of me. He was completely in control right now and the more he moved about the room preparing my bath,the more comfortable I felt around him.

He slowly stripped me of my clothes, letting them fall in a pile to the floor. I was stark naked before him, yet he didn't make any attempts to touch me. I walked to the edge of the tub and he helped me in by his hand. I watched him carefully to see what he was going to do.

He took a clean wash cloth and lathered it with soap. He was going to give me a bath.

"Damon this really isn't," He hushed me with his finger and proceeded to wash my arm, underarm and my chest very gently. It was extremely arousing and soothing all at the same time. He still made no attempt to take advantage of me. This bath was strictly about me, and making sure that my needs were taken care of. He leaned down and washed my legs and was very gentle in between. I kept trying to tell him he didn't have to do this, but then his ice blue eyes would flicker towards mine and I didn't feel the need to argue with him about it. He was taking care of me.

He allowed me to wash my hair and condition it. He helped me out, dried me off from head to toe and dressed me in fresh clean pj's. Damon guided me back to my bed and tucked me in. I was almost baffled I had no idea what to say.

"Why are you doing all this?" That strange ache in me came back, I had the sense that he was going to leave. He always leaves. He leaned down almost pressing his lips to mine, I so desperately wanted him to kiss me.

"Because I care about you Elena," He breath lingered on my lips.

"Are you leaving?" I asked as he was heading towards the window this time, normally he left through my bedroom door.

"Yes, you need time to think Elena, I understand that. I also understand if you don't ever want to see me again. I won't come back, and you don't have to work for us anymore. You're making the rules now Elena. I won't see you again until you make it so," It was as if he knew that we weren't ever going to be together again. This made my heart hurt, I was bombarded by so much information tonight I knew I was going to need time to figure things out. I nodded my head slowly in approval. I searched his eyes again, I was begging him to stay with me, just for tonight.

"Please Damon, I don't want to be alone tonight, please," There was so much desperation in my voice, it was almost pathetic. "Please," I asked again. He lingered between me and the window.

"Elena, you can't ask this of me tonight, not after all that has happened," He clenched his fists, he was trying so hard to resist.

"Please, just for tonight, I don't want to be alone, make me forget for tonight and then in the morning I can forget that we spent this night together, please Damon," I couldn't seem to stress how much I wanted him here.

He took one step towards me, but that's all he needed to cup my face in his hand.

"You want me to compel you to forget that I was with you tonight?" He didn't seem to understand the reasoning. I didn't really understand it myself, it made more sense in my head.

"Everything you did for me tonight, everything you said was so nice and well when I wake up I will have a clear head and have time to think things over, but if you stay with me now while my head is still clouded and confused then compel me to forget you staying the night, it will be like it never happened," I had a really hard time trying to get him to understand.

He leaned down on the bed hovering over me.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" I was asking him to compel me, I nodded my head in response. He seemed so unsure of all this, but he didn't want to seem to leave either.

He stared me straight in the eyes, they were so hypnotic, my body shuddered slightly in response.

"You're going to remember everything up until I put you to bed. When you wake in the morning you will not remember that I stayed with you," His words were engrained in my head. I blinked and then things were clear again. Tonight was going to be for us, my body was already on fire and I could see it forming in his eyes, that thick desire and lust. He pulled my blankets from my body and looked me up and down.

My pj's consisted of little shorts and a cami. I reached up and tangled my fingers in his hair pulling his head down so our lips could meet. He was being cautious, but right now all I wanted was him.

Our clothes came off in blur, our bodies were tangled in the sheets and it felt like love to me. He moved with such caution and passion. Our hips met over and over.

Damon's hands were on either side of my face as his eyes were locked with mine, they never left. He kept the same pace the entire time and that is what had me, he never lost control. He gripped my hip and pulled me up against him holding me in that position with him inside me as deep as he could muster, his only movement was his hips grinding against my pelvis until I fell over the edge in pure bliss. It was beautiful, I felt like I saw stars. He never let me go. He clung to my body. He kept going with his hips.

"Damon bite me," I moaned in ecstasy, it was the moment and I couldn't help myself. I wasn't going to remember this night the next morning so what was the harm? Damon didn't even hesitate. He cradled my head and tipped it to the side. It happened in one fluent motion. The thing of it was, it wasn't painful, it was one of the most pleasurable things I've ever experienced. That combined with his slow gyrating hips tipped me over the edge once more. I felt him groan against my throat, and I felt the warm pumping throb of his member releasing from inside me.

He collapsed on top of me, his sweaty body colliding with mine, mixed in with his heady odor was over powering.

I heard him take a bite of something and he was then forcing his wrist to my mouth.

"Drink," He panted and I did as he told. I was drinking in his blood. "You're wound will heal," He mumbled against my pillow. I drank until he pulled his wrist away from me. Our breathing started to slow, and I felt myself growing tired. I didn't want him to leave.

"Stay with me, don't go," I pressed my lips against his shoulder and kissed it tenderly.

"I"m not going anywhere," He turned to face me and I felt that warm pang radiating from my chest. His eyes were so warm, he was on top of me and I could feel it. I knew it I couldn't stop it, the words just rolled from my lips.

"I love you Damon," It felt so right to say, the timing, the moment, everything I knew it's how I felt and I had to tell him. He was quiet for a moment. He blinked a few times and then parted his lips.

"I love you too Elena," My heart thudded rapidly in my chest. I could almost cry, he loved me. His eyes locked with mine. I felt the sleepiness start to take over, it was becoming difficult to keep my eyes open.

"Sleep now Elena,"
