Chapter 11

Jade eyes slowly opened the following morning, or maybe it was afternoon, Simone really didn't know or care. She was completely satisfied, every ache piercing her body exquisite because of the reason behind them. He currently slept beside her in all his muscled handsome glory, one arm slung over his head, the other resting comfortably on his steady rising and falling chest. Simone bit back a moan at the delicious ache between her thighs, just staring at him was all it took and she was ready for more.

"You're staring at me." He rumbled with his eyes still closed, a smirk curving his lips and could already smell her arousal.

"Yes I am and I definitely like what I'm staring at." Simone informed him and reached over, trailing a single magenta fingernail down his rock hard chest. "I didn't wake you, did I?"

Tyler chuckled softly and shook his head, not moving because he enjoyed her touch too much. "My bladder did actually." He bluntly said, finally opening his dark eyes to meet those hypnotic green spheres again. "I should probably drain the monster before I end up peeing all over you."

Simone laughed, sitting up on the bed with the sheets drawn up over her chest and tossed a pillow at him. "You really know how to ruin a moment." She huffed playfully, tilting her head as soon as Tyler slid from the bed and involuntarily licked her lips. "Then again, I do love watching you go. You must have the sexiest ass I've ever seen for a man."

Talk about blunt, Tyler could feel heat rush up from the tips of his toes and soared to his face. "Thanks." He grunted, walking into the bathroom and closed the door, knowing he would never live it down if Simone caught him blushing.

Simone grinned, slipping from the bed and walked over to the small dresser, opening the first drawer. She didn't feel up to putting her clothes back on yet and pulled out one of Tyler's black t-shirts that had some kind of white design splashed on it. Bringing it to her nose, that woodsy smell once again surrounded her and Simone hastily pulled it over her head, once again intoxicated by Tyler's scent.

Tyler stood in the bathroom long after relieving himself, staring in the mirror, pondering over why Simone was in Mystic Falls. Something told him it had to do with her friend, Olivia, because he could feel a powerful sadness radiating from her every time she was in the same vicinity. Simone, on the other hand, was a ball of fire and rarely had a frown on that beautiful face, which Tyler was grateful for. Still, there was a reason they were here and Tyler had to find out what it was, but for the life of him he didn't have a clue where to begin.

"Maybe I'll take her out for break-" Quickly glancing at the clock on the bathroom wall, Tyler's word broke off and he groaned at the time. "Brunch."

He wouldn't take her to the grill though, too many prying eyes and ears. There was a small diner about a half an hour away from Mystic Falls, which is what he had to do. He had to take her out of town in order to have this conversation, hoping she went without a fuss. Simone was protective of Olivia, which made Tyler's interest that much more piqued.

Making up his mind, Tyler brushed his teeth and fixed his hair a little before walking out, raising a brow when he didn't see Simone anywhere. "Simone?" He called out, rubbing the back of his neck and snatched some boxers from the hamper of clean laundry he hadn't put away yet.

"In the kitchen!" She called down the hallway, trying to find something edible with no luck. "You really need to get some food in this place."

"Yeah I know, I just-" The words died on Tyler's lips as soon as he stepped into the living room/kitchen area, blinking at the delicious sight.

"You just what?"

Simone looked over her shoulder; an innocent smile splayed on her face and reached up to grab some cookies from the cupboard. As soon as she did that, the t-shirt rode up her thighs and flashed just a hint of her beautiful backside, teasing him. Tyler bit back a groan, already feeling his shaft hardening and quickly closed the distance between them, standing right behind her. Simone smirked when she felt something very warm and hard brush against her thigh, knowing she'd definitely gotten Tyler's attention by wearing his t-shirt.

"Do you have any idea how smoking hot you look right now?" He demanded huskily, already sliding his hands up and down her sides beneath the t-shirt, mesmerized by her soft skin.

"No, why don't you tell me?" Simone retorted, melting instantly against his strong hands scorching her body, gasping when his mouth sealed to her neck.

"I'd rather show you." He growled, his mouth hovered over her ear and nipped her earlobe gently with his teeth. "Do you have any objections to that, Miss Turner?"

"Absolutely not, Mr. Lockwood." She breathed out, reaching her hand back to grip the back of his neck while he continued assaulting her neck with his blazing mouth.

Grinning evilly, Tyler suddenly wrapped his hand in her long beautiful blonde tresses and forced her to bend forward, pushing the material of his t-shirt up her body. Simone did a full body shiver as soon as his hands clutched her sides, her entire body erupting in a forest fire and grabbed the counter, preparing for whatever Tyler had in mind. A few seconds later, Tyler had shoved his boxers down his legs and was buried to the hilt inside of her again, food the furthest from their minds.

An hour later, Tyler lay sprawled on the kitchen floor with Simone on top of him, both of them temporarily sated. "I have to be honest with you about something." She said, breaking the silence between them, after catching her breath. "I've never had this much sex with a guy before."

Tyler raised a brow, looking up when her head lifted, their eyes meeting. "You're okay though right? I haven't hurt you or anything, have I?" He really hoped not because Tyler would feel like a real jag off if he did.

Simone smiled, waving him off dismissively. "No, no you didn't. Trust me, if you hurt me, you would know it by now." She assured him, shifting a little where she straddled him again, leaning forward brushing her lips against his. "I've just never been THIS attracted to a man before to where I would pass up food for sex."

"Well then, I think I should inform you about something as well." Tyler reached up to stroke her cheek with the back of his hand tenderly. "No woman has ever affected me to the point where I'd rather devour them instead of actual food like you have."

They were treading on dangerous ground and Simone knew she shouldn't have stayed the night with him. Tyler even offered to take her back to the mansion, but all Simone did was pull him back on top of her to resume their passion filled night. Olivia was probably going out of her mind with worry and Simone knew she should call to check in. For some reason, however, she couldn't pull away from Tyler Lockwood, not wanting to leave him and wasn't sure how she felt about that.

"Well, after that strenuous workout, I don't know about you, but I really need some sustenance, especially if we're going to keep this up." Simone stated, kissing him again and pressed her hands against his chest, needing help standing up.

"I'm glad you said that because I feel the same way." Tyler stood up with her, wrapping an arm around Simone's waist to make sure she didn't collapse. "And I want to take you out to eat."

Simone looked up at him, wondering if he was having the same problem she was as far as parting ways. "In that case, I need a quick shower because, as much as I don't mind smelling like you, the sex scent definitely isn't appealing." She winked, heading down the hallway and squealed out when Tyler lifted her over his shoulder, giving her rear a teasing slap. "Tyler, no more until we eat!"

"Who said anything about sex, baby?" He grinned; kicking the bathroom door shut behind them and proceeded to kiss a protesting Simone until she liquefied in his arms.

After making love two more times in the shower, somehow, they dressed and headed out to the diner Tyler wanted to have the talk with her, hoping he wasn't about to destroy what had built between him and Simone.

~!~

All Damon could do was gaze at a peaceful Olivia sleeping in his bed, mesmerizing every detail of her angelic face. She was an angel in the bed of a devil, both of them completely naked. The white sheet was drawn up to her chest, covering her voluptuous breasts, her beautiful auburn hair splayed around her haphazardly.

Her full pouty red lips were slightly parted as she breathed in and out evenly, each intake of breath making her chest rise and then fall. One hand splayed on her stomach on top of the sheet, the other laying prone at her side, her head tilted slightly toward him as if encouraging him to admire her more. Even the necklace laced with vervain around her neck didn't bother Damon much because it just added to her splendor.

Damon was still in awe by what happened the previous night, not expecting Olivia to be as open with him as she was, especially when she kissed him first. All he wanted was a simple answer to the question he asked her regarding being seducible and she completely bewildered him with how she chose to answer him. Her lips tasted sweeter than honey, sugar and honeysuckle combined, by far the most saccharine flavor Damon ever had.

What was it about this human woman that had him in an uproar? The amount of pain in her eyes when he mentioned her mother definitely intrigued him. Damon wanted to know who her mother was because she knew about vampires and had given her beatific daughter a necklace laced with one of the only things that incapacitated his kind. Olivia didn't seem to know about vampires because, if she did, there was no way she would've slept with him.

It felt incredible to have sex with a woman he didn't have to use compulsion on because, for once, it felt real. Every touch and kiss was wanted instead of manipulated; all the things Damon did to her body Olivia enjoyed fully. The only thing that would've made the night flawless was if Damon could've tasted her blood. It was out of the question because of Olivia's necklace and the fact she had no clue vampires existed.

Granted, the necklace could easily be removed, but Damon couldn't do it and risk losing the honesty between them. "Liva." He whispered, taking a chance and ran a finger down her cheek, smirking when she shifted a little.

A few minutes later, amber eyes opened to lock with electric blue, a gentle smile crossing Olivia's face. "Morning." She murmured, stretching her arms above her head, along with her legs, letting out a content sigh.

"Morning." Damon sounded amused, enjoying Olivia smiling and wished she did it more, deciding he had to get to the bottom of her pain so he could help her. "Did you sleep well?"

"Very." Olivia nodded, sitting up and yawned, running a hand through her messy hair, her body having a stunning glow. "Did you?"

"Mmmhmm…" Damon reached for her, pulling Olivia to sit across his lap, giving her a proper good morning kiss. "And what a way to start off the day."

Olivia let out a breathy laugh, running her fingertips feather lightly down his face to his neck and chest, her eyes never leaving his. "Well I'm glad I can start your day off on the right foot." She kissed him again and glanced at the clock, blinking. "It's after one already?"

Damon looked at the clock, quirking a brow. "Wow, I guess it is." He didn't notice what time he woke up because he'd been too enthralled watching her sleep. "Did you have something to do today?"

"Yeah…" Where the hell was Simone? "Is my phone in here?" Olivia asked, extracting herself from Damon's arms to stand up from the bed, pulling the sheet with her. "I need to call Simone. We're supposed to go…sightseeing today." That was a flat out lie and Olivia wished she sounded more convincing, but honestly lying wasn't her strong suit.

Damon knew she wasn't being truthful with him, but wasn't about to point it out either, standing alongside her. "You're in my room and I don't recall you bringing it with you during our workout last night." He smirked when she flushed a crimson red, wrapping one arm around her waist. "Such a lovely color on you."

"Right." Olivia had to check her messages in case Simone left her a message, wondering how her date with Tyler Lockwood went. "Thank you for last night, Damon." She said sincerely, reaching down to swipe her clothes from the floor.

"Anytime." Judging by how Olivia was acting, she regretted what happened between them last night and Damon would be lying if he said it didn't bother him. "If you need someone to go sightseeing with, I know this town probably better than anyone."

Olivia stopped what she was doing, turning to face him and smiled tentatively. "As tempting as your offer is, Simone and I promised to do it together. Thank you though." She gasped when Damon grabbed her by the arm, yanking her back into his arms and planted a passionate breathtaking kiss on her lips, making her knees instantly turn to jelly.

"If you change your mind." He rumbled, reluctantly breaking the kiss and ran the pad of his thumb across her lips.

Olivia couldn't say anything as Damon released her, stumbling out of his bedroom door toward hers, needing to find her phone. Every time he kissed her, Olivia's head whirled and her train of thought instantly clouded in a passion haze. Plopping down on the bed, Olivia touched her swollen lips, clutching the sheet to her further and closed her eyes at the memory of last night.

His muscular hands caressed every inch of her frame, worshipping and tasting her. His mouth and tongue felt like liquid fire against her skin, deluging her body with voracious desire. After hours of teasing and tormenting, Damon finally gave her what she craved, having begged for him to end her agony countless times. It was explosive and felt like an inferno had completely engulfed her to the point where Olivia thought she might've passed out.

"Christ…" She whispered, fanning herself with her hand to try cooling down because just the memories alone percolated the sparks and Olivia had things to do today that didn't involve staying in bed with Damon.

Even though the idea was very enticing.

Shaking her head, Olivia grabbed her phone from the nightstand and flipped it open, frowning at the text she read. Livi, going out to eat with Tyler for the day. Will call you when we get back into town. Don't be mad, love you!

"You've gotta be kidding me." Olivia snapped the lid of her cell phone shut and tossed it on the bed, irrational anger enveloping her. 'Screw it; I'll go investigate by myself then.' She thought irritably, snorting and dropped the sheet before padding into her private bathroom.
