Chapter 10
Elena listened to the quiet breathing of Damon. He was so relaxed now. More relaxed than she had ever seen him.
He was hugging her to him, his head resting on her breasts. And he was sleeping soundly.
Smiling, Elena stroked his hair.
That had been a wonderful experience. Probably one of the best moments in her life. Damon had finally given in. And now it seemed as if it had resolved a lot of tension for him. His entire body was calm.
He wasn't fighting anymore, and his muscles noticed. His usually tense back, was completely relaxed.
Although Elena was a little worried about how he would react when he woke up.
He wasn't going to regret anything, was he?
Also, how would their relationship (if you could call it that already) evolve from here? Now that the sexual tension was out of the way. Would he let her in? Would they really take their time to get to know each other? Would they even get time for that?
Because, if Damon wanted to keep this a secret from everyone, Elena would have to lie and cheat her way out of the house. They wouldn't get that much time together. Damon also still hung out with her father, which could cause a problem.
But still, all of this had been clear to her from the beginning. A relationship with Damon Salvatore would never be easy. People would judge. Her own parents might even judge. There where a lot of insecurities here. But Elena was willing to take the risk. For him, she was willing to fight.
Damon moved a bit, and snuggled his nose into her chest. His arms tightened their hold on her.
Elena could only imagine waking up like this every morning with him. How wonderful that would be. If only those incredible blue orbs could be the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes.
But that wasn't going to happen for a while. She knew that. Her parents would get suspicious if she stayed away all night. Which was why she wasn't sleeping now.
She kept on staring at Damon's alarm clock intently. She had promised her dad she would be home around 2 am. He was still under the impression that she was out partying for her birthday.
It was now 1 am. Almost time to get out of bed and go home. But she had a hard time leaving the warmth of Damon's bed.
Damon moved again and kissed her breast.
He was awake.
She held her breath, anxious for what he would say.
"If you're not as spent as I am, I wasn't doing something right," he joked, as he raised himself on his elbows.
Elena smiled up at him.
He was so adorable when he just woke up. His eyes were sleepy, his hair was ruffled.
He looked as innocent as a little boy.
"Trust me, I'm pleasantly numb here. But I have to get home in a few minutes. I promised my dad I would be.
Damon's smile fell a little at the mention of his best friend.
"Ah yes, of course. No sleepovers tonight."
He rolled off of her and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
Elena sat up and looked at him apologetically.
"I can try to come over tomorrow night," she offered.
Damon frowned.
"I'm working tomorrow night. My schedule is a little hectic this week. A lot of hours, and most of the time at night. I only have the mornings off," he explained.
Elena's face fell.
"Which is when I'll be at school."
Damon looked at her seriously and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear.
"We'll think of something."
Elena looked over at the alarm clock again. She groaned when she saw the time.
"I really have to get going. Crap, this is probably the last we're going to see of each other in over a week!" she complained.
Damon smiled at her.
"This is exactly the reason why I never did relationships before. My time is always at a limit."
Elena's mouth fell open at his words. Did he just..? She had to know. She had to ask.
"So what are you saying? Are we in a relationship here?" she breathed.
Damon got a shocked expression on his face.
"Don't tell me that we went through all of this trouble just for a night of sex. Now I feel used!"
His shocked expression turned into a teasing one. He was joking. And then he did that eye thing that always made her swoon.
Elena leaned forward and softly kissed his lips.
"One night with you could never be enough," she whispered.
The kiss quickly spiralled out of control, and before she knew it, Elena was panting against his lips.
"I." Kiss. "Really." Kiss. "Need." Kiss. "To." Kiss. "Get going."
Damon grinned evilly at her.
"Then what's stopping you?" he teased.
Elena rolled her eyes.
"I unleashed a devil here, didn't I?"
Damon waggled his eyebrows at her. But then he turned serious again.
"Let's not tell anyone about this yet. I need to figure out a way to break this to Grayson. And it's not going to be easy. I really don't think that he's going to understand."
Elena sighed.
"I know. I thought about it too. Fine, we'll keep this a secret for a while. See where this takes us. If all goes well, we'll tell him."
Damon nodded, glad that she understood.
Elena gave him one last kiss, before grabbing her clothes off the floor and heading home….
She felt like pulling out her hair! It had been four days now, since she last saw Damon. And she was going bonkers. If he didn't call or text her soon, she was going to flip out!
She even got jealous when her father had announced yesterday night, that he was going out for a drink with Damon after work. She fucking got jealous!
She was driving herself up the wall here, she knew that. But if she didn't hear from him soon, she was going to find him herself!
"Elena? Have you even heard a word I was saying to you?"
Uh oh! Caroline sounded a little pissed.
Elena focused her attention on her best friend and smiled.
"Sorry sweetie. You were saying?"
Caroline sat up straight and began waving excitedly with her hands.
"Like I said. Wendell Hart totally wants to go out with you! Isn't that great? So I totally set up a double date between you, me, him and Matt. We're going this Saturday!"
Elena's eyes wanted to pop out of her head.
"You did WHAT? she snapped.
Caroline was a bit taken back by her outburst. But she didn't care. She never liked being set up anyway. And she was taken now. She didn't think Damon would agree with her going out with other guys.
"I thought you would like it," Caroline said, confused.
Elena sighed, trying to tone down her irritation.
"I'm not going out with Wendell. I'm sorry you went through all that trouble, Care. But it's not going to happen."
Caroline shook her head, still not getting it.
"But..He's, like, super hot! I don't understand you. Do you have your eye on someone else?" she wanted to know.
Elena's face immediately broke out into a grin. She couldn't stop it. She was completely revealing herself here.
Caroline caught on immediately. Her eyes began to glimmer and she leaned forward excitedly.
"You do, don't you? You have a thing for someone! Maybe even WITH someone! Tell me! Who is he?"
Elena felt a bit nervous now. Shit! How was she going to talk her way out of this one?
"Come one, Elena! I am your best friend. I want to know!" Caroline pressed.
Elena bit her lip. Well, maybe she could reveal just a little. And swear Caroline to secrecy.
"Okay, yes. I am seeing someone. But no one can now. Okay? You can never tell anyone," Elena stressed.
Caroline positively squealed.
"Ooh, secret relationships! I never thought you had it in you! You're always such a goody two shoes. So why is it a secret?"
Elena swallowed something. Caroline couldn't know too much.
"He's older. My father would probably never approve," she explained.
Caroline was bouncing in her seat now.
"This is so exciting! I want to know details here! Is he hot? Have you two already done the dirty? And if yes, what was it like?" she rambled on.
Elena started laughing. Sometimes she really loved Caroline for her no bullshit attitude.
"Yes, he is extremely hot. And it was the best sex I ever had."
Caroline let out a whoop.
"Girl, you are, like, my idol right now!"
Elena became serious again.
"But Care, there is a reason this is a secret. I can't have you go blabbing this around. I need to figure out if my relationship with this man could work. If it does, all will be revealed in time."
Caroline pouted a little.
"I better be the first to know!" she threatened Elena.
Elena smiled at her.
"Sweetie, you're the only one that knows any of this. But remember. Lips have to stay sealed," she repeated.
Caroline nodded excitedly.
All of a sudden, Elena got up from her seat and straightened her shoulders, which confused Caroline.
"Where are you going? I thought you were going to study with me?"
Elena's face broke out in an evil grin.
"Sorry, hon. But it's been four days since I last saw my hot man. I'm going to seize the day and find him!" she said with resolve.
On that note, she turned around to leave.
"You go girl!" Caroline yelled after her…
Elena strutted into the hospital with a smile on her face. This was by far the craziest action she had ever pulled. She didn't even know if Damon was operating right now. She just hoped he wasn't.
She found the floor that held the trauma unit and tried to keep a low profile while searching for him.
It didn't take her very long.
He was at a file cabinet, leafing through one, when he spotted her.
His face broke out into a confused smile.
"What are you doing here?" he asked sweetly.
He put the file away and walked her to a supply room, making sure nobody would spot them or would be able to eavesdrop.
He closed the door behind him and looked at her expectantly.
"Is something wrong? You can tell me. I'm on a break right now, so I have some time," he told her.
Elena just smiled. Perfect!
She closed in on him and began to kiss his jaw.
She slowly worked her way up to his ear and bit in the lobe, earning a small moan from Damon.
"What are you doing?" he asked a little breathless.
Elena smirked at him.
"If you have to ask, I'm not doing it right."
Damon's confused stare quickly turned into a playful grin. He closed the distance between them and touched his lips to hers.
Elena groaned. Four days really had been too long!
She slipped off his doctor's coat, making it slide towards the floor.
Damon must have agreed with her on the length of time they hadn't seen each other, because he attacked her lips like a wildfire. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, massaging it roughly to hers.
Elena's hand slipped down towards his pants, unbuttoning it.
She knew they had to be fast here.
She jumped up to wrap her legs around him, grateful that she was wearing a skirt. No reason to go through a whole lot of trouble here!
Damon leaned her back against one of the shelves. One of his hands snaked down towards her centre, touching her intimately.
Elena almost laughed at the situation they got themselves in. How 'Grey's Anatomy' of them! Having sex in a supply closet. She just guessed rooms like this really did see all the action!
Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt when she felt his member press against her.
"I don't have a condom on me," he rasped suddenly.
She could hear him trying to control his breathing. He thought they couldn't go through with it. But he was having a hard time stopping himself. She could tell by the hot kisses he kept on giving her. The way his hands squeezed her thighs. The way he rubbed against her.
Time to put him out of his misery.
"I have one in my purse. It dropped down towards the floor."
She laughed at the sheer look of relief on his face.
He disentangled himself from her and reached for her purse, quickly finding the condom.
She jumped back into his arms, ready to feel him like that again.
"This one had to be fast, sweetie," he told her.
Elena agreed with him, and kissed his lips to reassure him.
She then felt him pressing against her folds, causing her head to rear back. She was one thrust away from reaching that heavenly place.
And then he pushed forward.
Her mouth opened in a silent scream.
This man was truly made for her. He fit her in every way possible. Her eyes rolled back in her head as he began to move.
She clawed her nails down his back as he continued to thrust fiercely.
"Damon..oh Damon!" Elena cried out.
The shelves behind them rattled with the force of their lovemaking.
She rolled her hips back against him, aiding in the already delicious friction between them. She shot one hand behind her, to grab onto the shelf above her. The other hand buried itself in his hair. This way she could aid in the movements better.
She thrust hard back against him, feeling her legs begin to quiver. She was so close.
"Fuck, Elena!" he almost shouted.
His hand reached between them to touch her button. It sent her flying. Damon wasn't too far behind her. He thrust one..twice.. and then he was gone.
"Damn!"Damon breathed in her ear, once he came down from his high.
Elena agreed wholeheartedly. That was the best one yet.
Their bliss got interrupted with an incessant banging on the door. Elena's heart stopped cold as she watched someone pull the handle down….
Uh oh! Are they going to get busted? And by who? Please review!
