(Chapter eleven)

Elena loved being in Damon's room. It was so simple even though Damon was rather complicated but it fit him. He had a huge bed and his bed sheets were of course black, he had a mahogany desk and on the desk was his computer and tons of papers, he also had a bookshelf that covered a huge portion of the wall, it had books that were from way back in the day. Close to the bookshelf was a small table that had a big black leather chair much like his favorite on downstairs sitting next to it. Of course he had a closet, dresser, bathroom, and TV, but for Damon's room, that was about it. It was simple and straight to the point. Night was now beginning to fall on Mystic Falls and Elena called Aunt Jenna and made up some story about sleeping over at Caroline's and of course Caroline covered for her. Really, Elena decided to spend the night with Damon. She had just gotten out of the shower and since she didn't bring clothes to change in to because she didn't think she'd be staying, Damon let her borrow one of his black shirts. Damon was of course bigger than her but the shirt only hung a tiny bit below the beginning of her thighs. Damon was now in the shower so she went over to his bookshelf and scanned it for something that seemed interesting. She chose Gone With the Wind and sat down in the black leather chair to begin reading. By the time Damon had gotten out and went crazy to make himself look good, she was already on chapter five and those chapters were pretty long. She could hear Damon approaching her so she looked up from her book to see a site that took her breath away. The beautiful creature that walked towards her had the most stunning blue eyes she had ever seen and his face was flawless. His jaw line was perfect, his nose was just the right size, and his lips...she wanted to kiss them so bad. He was only wearing a pair of black cotton pajama bottoms so naturally Elena scanned the part of his body that was uncovered. His chest was perfect and he had a perfect six pack. His arm muscles were big and she wanted to feel them, she wanted to be wrapped in his arms. She couldn't help but stare and become mesmerized by the site in front of her.

"You know, if you take a picture it will last longer. It's not polite to stare sweetheart." he said with a smirk on his face.

"I don't need a picture because I've got eternity to look at you and your body." she giggled.

"Alas, that is true. I am stuck with you for eternity." he laughed and he ducked as a book came flying his way.

"Well that wasn't nice. I think you need to be punished." he said as he walked towards her and she tried to run away.

"I love how you think you can run away from me. I'm a vampire, hello...super speed." he said as he grabbed her from behind and carried her to the bed.

Elena began to try and tickle him and surprisingly, he was actually ticklish.

"Okay, okay!" he cried. "You win, I bow before you!"

"That's right, I always win. Never forget that." she laughed and stuck out her tongue.

"Oh yeah?" he said as he grabbed her and flipped her over so she was now on her back. He leaned down and began to kiss her lips softly and then moved to kiss her on the neck. Elena was breathing so hard that it felt like she could barley breath.

"So what were you saying? I always win?" he smirked as he leaned back down to kiss her more.

This time the kisses were more passionate. Elena loved the way it felt to have his body so close to hers and Damon loved it too. Both Damon and Elena were in love. They loved each other and would do anything for the other. They had eternity together and if this was how every night was, Elena sure didn't mind. Things began to heat up and before either of them knew what was happening they were making love. After they finished, the heat died down and Damon laid back on the bed and pulled Elena with him. Then wrapped his black sheets and comforter around them both as she lay in his arms. He was responsible for this girl. He was the one who was going to protect her from anything that dared to hurt her and he was the one that was going to love her forever. Damon had thought in the past that he could only have love for Katherine but then he met Elena and life changed as he knew it. His feelings for Elena were his feelings for Katherine times one hundred. She was beautiful, loving, kind, and she actually cared about him and loved him. Katherine had cared about no one but loved both him and his brother. Elena's fragile heart was now in Damon's hands and he promised to protect it no matter what. As Damon looked down to look at the face of his true love, he saw that she was sound asleep and sleeping like a baby. She looked so peaceful and happy and Damon loved the fact that she was in his arms. She would be in his arms like this every night for eternity.

"Doesn't get much better than this." he said softly as he kissed her cheek and then reached over to turn out the light.

The next morning Elena woke up to see Damon laying next to her with his chest exposed but the rest of his body was hidden underneath the covers. Elena was happier than she had ever been. The big hole that was present in her life was beginning to close because being with Damon was healing her. She leaned over and kissed his cheek, went to brush her teeth and then laid back down and waited for Damon to wake up. After an hour or so he began to stir and then he looked over at Elena who was obviously waiting for him to wake up.

"Good morning, I'm so glad you finally decided to wake up." she was grinning.

"Elena, it's nine in the morning...you're just a little bit to happy for me." he said smiling.

"I'm a morning person, get over it." she said as she leaned over to kiss him.

"Well as long as I get one of those every morning when I wake up, I think I can handle you overly happy self." he said while stretching his body.

"You wanna know something?" she asked.

"Sure, do tell." he said while he went to over to his closet to pick out his famous attire for the day.

"I love you Damon..and I think that I always have." she said softly.

"Well Elena Gilbert," he said, "I love you too and I've loved you since I laid eyes on you."

She walked over to kiss him and he held her in his arms while looking into her eyes. When their eyes met each of them could see the burning desires and love that was screaming out to them. No matter what may happen down the road, each of them knew that they would get thru it as long as they had one another. Damon's search to find something that could make him whole again was finally over. Both of their lives were now complete and everything was as it should be.
