Chapter 10: A New Deal
The ride to the airport was a long one to say the least. Stefan and Caroline sat watching as Damon did everything he could to console her but nothing was working she wouldn't talk to him she wouldn't answer any of his questions. She was completely shutting him out. Calvin and Rebekkah were sitting there watching as the sister they loved and cared about finally broke down.
When everything had happened to Elena she just swept it under the rug and moved on. For months they told her this was only going to cause more heartache down the road. It was killing them sitting there watching her self-destruct and no way to help her. Damon watched as Rebekkah began to cry as well.
Once the plane was in the air Elena had balled herself up on the couch and closed herself off from the rest. Caroline, Rebekkah and Calvin had all fallen asleep. Damon was sitting there staring out the window blankly as Stefan watched on. The events of tonight had greatly affected every one of them to the core.
Once they arrived at the house Elena had already made her way to the bedroom. Caroline went to sleep as well and Calvin and Rebekkah went to the guest bedroom. When Damon finally came in Stefan was standing by the fireplace drinking a glass of bourbon.
"Damon I do not like getting involved with other families business but tonight I am going to make an exception." Downing the rest of his drink.
"What happened after I left Stefan?"
"Long story short Grayson basically told Elena it was her fault Carter left her. You should have seen the hurt on her face. I wouldn't have wished that on anyone Damon. You could see and feel her world collapsing around her. She then said something about being shot and her child being killed. What was that about?"
Damon's faced dropped and he felt the urge to go talk to her help her through this time. "Stefan I'll explain everything later but right now I need to go be with my fiancé." Setting a drink down and almost running upstairs.
I lost my father today. I had to relive every emotion that I tried so hard to forget and the one person that was always supposed to be by my side traded me in for nothing. I lost a child and that is something that no one should have to go through. I don't know what I am going to do but I am sure of one thing I no longer have a father.
Elena closed her laptop and opened her French doors leading out on to the balcony. She then changed in to her bathing suit and laid in the hot tub. Relaxing and staring up at the stars she heard Damon enter the room.
He spotted her instantly the wave of lust that flew over him was almost more than he could handle. The woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with was laying there barley covered. He grabbed his swim shorts and joined her in the hot tub.
They stared at each other with such intensity that Damon began to feel nervous. He had never felt like this about anyone in his life especially Katherine. After what seemed like forever Elena's eyes melted and she crossed the water and wrapped her legs around him, before crashing her lips down on his. Damon didn't respond but as her efforts became more needy he felt his resolve slipping away and as she ran her hand over his chest he gave in.
The moment he started to kiss her back she knew this man was everything she would ever need to feel safe. He had with just a look dissolved every ounce of hate she had and replaced it with desire.
Things had escalated quickly. Elena was pushing her body into Damon just to hear him moan, and Damon was caressing her breast to hear her moan. In an instant Damon had turned them around to where Elena was pressed against the back. He pulled away long enough to catch a breath and then his lips were on hers again. He slowly began rubbing her through the thin bottoms. At this a soft moan escaped her lips and sent waves of pleasure through him.
"Elena…" he was breathless. "If you don't stop we aren't going to be able to."
She was attacking is neck and rubbing him through his shorts. "Then I guess were not stopping." And she was back to his lips.
Damon pulled away. "Elena…you said you wanted to wait until the honeymoon. I have everything already planned for it." Barely able to stop himself he is licking and sucking on her neck.
"Damon I'm here and willing I want this now." Massaging his bulge through his pants.
"I'm going to change I suggest you do the same and meet me in that bed of ours missy." Smacking her ass as he walked to the bathroom. Damon started to realize what was about to happen there whole relationship was about to change and become real. Damon had never been one to freak out over sex but this was with his future wife. After changing and making sure his nerves were not showing he made he way back to the bedroom but the sight that caught him made his heart melt.
Elena had curled up in a ball and fell asleep. He smiled softly turned the lights off. He made his way to the bedroom and laid down slowly trying not to wake her up. She had a rough day and she deserved some sleep. He made himself comfortable and started to doze off when he felt two little arms snaking there way around his chest. He smiled and they both slept soundly.
Salvatore Warehouse
Henry had called Damon first thing that morning with good news. He had finally made a break in the Klaus history. He had told Damon to meet him at the warehouse and that the information that he had found was too important to say over the phone.
Damon told Elena that he would be back later that day and he would grab them some takeout and they could enjoy a nice dinner by the pool. He arrived at the warehouse shortly before 7 and found Henry pacing back and forth.
"Henry calm down you're going to tear up my flooring. How about we take this to my office." Fiddling with the keys to his office.
"Damon what I found is big I don't even know if you want to know."
"Of course I want to know he tried to hurt my fiancé and killed her baby." Sitting down at the desk and Henry following. "So what have you got Henry?"
"Well Damon I had to go to extreme measures to get this information. We found out Klaus has a sibling. A sister to be exact."
"Henry this is awesome. Tell me where she is so I can find her and bring her to Klaus on a silver platter. Then he will think twice about messing with my family."
"That is the problem Damon. We already know where she is." Taking a breath.
"Wait. Henry what are you talking about? Are you saying we know who she is this whole time?"
"Yes Damon your fiancé happens to know her quite well actually." Damon is boring through Henry. "Rebekkah is Klaus's sister."
Damon stands up in shock and wanders to the window staring out into the fields. "Are you certain?"
"100% Damon."
There is a deafening silence and Henry starts to become nervous and then Damon breaks the silence.
"You don't tell anyone about this Henry. I want this information locked in my personal safe. Now are you the only one that knows?"
"Yes sir I bought the hospital records so no one else could see them."
"Great and Henry you do not say a word to my wife about this okay?" he opens his safe and puts it all in there before heading out. He dials a number and walks to his Mercedes.
"Salvatore what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Hey Rebekkah I kind of need your help with a little surprise for Elena. I have Alaric coming to get you would you be up for meeting me at Tiffany's?"
"Of course Damon anything to cheer her up. What Grayson did was unbelievable. I'll see you in a few Salvatore."
He hung up and drove as quickly as he could to Tiffany's.
Tiffany and Co.
When he arrives Alaric is waiting outside keeping guard. They nod at each other and Damon enters to find George gawking at the beautiful Rebekkah and letting her try on diamonds. Damon smirks and walks over to them.
"George keep your hands to yourself. This is my future sister you're flirting with."
"Damon how is it that you get 2 of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen as your wife and sister?"
"Have you looked at me lately George." Rebekkah and Damon both start laughing.
"Yeah George did you forget how conceded Damon is? Besides he is the lucky one. Elena is the greatest person you will ever meet and the most compassionate caring woman ever. I am so grateful to call her my sister."
Damon feels a bang in his heart. "Bex I wanted to get Elle a little gift just to cheer her up. I was thinking a charm bracelet and whenever we have a milestone we can get her a charm to remind her."
"First of all when has Damon ever done anything little and second of all that idea is marvelous Damon."
"I always said he was smooth with his words." Rebekkah was looking at all the rings.
"Let me pick a few things out for you and then I will bring them to you."
"Hey George you care if we go to the room please?"
"Of course Damon. You just spent over 2 million here you practically own it."
Damon and Rebekkah make there way to the back room and take a seat. He begins to feel slightly uncomfortable but it has to get out.
"Rebekkah we need to talk for a second. This is going to be hard and painful but you have to know and what you do with it is up to you. As you know Klaus is someone a lot of people want gone right? Well I have been having my private investigator Henry look into him trying to find something I can use against him to take him out. Well it's been awhile but he found something. Bex do you remember anything about your time before the Gilbert's?"
Rebekkah was confused "No Damon I was dropped off at their doorstep at less than a year old. I don't even remember my mother's face. What are you getting at Damon?"
Damon breathed in hard. "Rebekkah you are Klaus's sister." She almost screamed. "He killed your mother and father and when the police found them you were no where to be found."
"Are you sure about this I mean there is no way? Does he even know about me?" she is almost freaking out.
"I'm positive Bex I wouldn't even have said anything to you if I wasn't a 1000% sure. We believe that he dropped you on their doorstep. Like this whole thing was a grand scheme to get revenge on the Gilbert's or something."
She has tears rolling out of her eyes and looks about ready to break. "Does Elle know?"
"No I wanted to talk to you before anything was done. Bex listen this is my job he is beating woman at my club and then dropping them back off at our doorstep. I am going to take him out but I want your opinion on the matter."
"Damon that man has hurt the only family I ever known. You do whatever it is you need to. Just promise me one thing. Elena will never find out. I cannot put this on her right now. I honestly don't think our friendship would survive this. So please for me and her just don't."
"You have my word Rebekah. Listen if you ever need anything from me, anything at all just ask and I'll do it."
She nods and he gathers his things along with the bracelet and heads to his Mercedes only stopping to talk to Alaric.
"Make sure she gets back to the house safely please."
"Of course Damon."
Damon jumps into his car and speeds away.
