Disclaimer: I do not own TVD only the twisted plot.
AN: Wow! I can't believe this story is coming to a close! I will miss it dearly... Thank you all for all the reviews, they mean *so* much! And also for those that added this story to their alert and favorites, it makes me feel humbled because I know there are some very talented authors out there.
I still have other two stories on the go and a third that needs to be put to paper. I just need to let my muse feel less depressed after the last TVD chapter.
So here it is, enjoy!
EPILOGUE:
It all had turned out ok in the end. Alaric had opened up his eyes and came back to life a couple of hours later all fine and dandy. Elena was glad she couldn't blush anymore when he made a passing comment that he needed to get himself a vampire girlfriend and catch up on what he had been missing. She knew she would never live this one down. The only other lasting consequence of his sacrifice had been the new nickname he had earned from Damon : "Sleeping beauty". In reality it was just another layer in Alaric and Damon's bromance and Ric took it in stride.
Katherine had found Stefan a couple of days later and informed Elena and Damon immediately. Stefan only allowed Katherine to become his travelling companion after a week, but now they seemed to be globetrotting and getting along fine. Despite her attempt at looking like she didn't care and as her own private joke, Katherine sent them postcards from every destination she and Stefan visited. Whilst she couldn't help but sign each of them with "Glad you are not here", the truth was that she was calling at least twice a week to give them an update. Damon had even caught the two girls conspiratorially chatting and laughing on the phone together a couple of times.
It was an awkward truce, but both Damon and Elena were happy that someone was looking after Stefan. It also helped that without him in town they didn't have to be careful how they acted around each other and could just indulge. All their friends had come to accept that Elena was with Damon now. Even Bonnie gave him a tentative kiss on her way out from one of their dinner parties. Elena had smiled at the witch with eyes full of thankfulness.
Elena had feared that once Bonnie learned she was a vampire and that Stefan had been the one to put her in this position, she would never speak to any of them again. Thankfully Bonnie had reacted quite differently and when Caroline broke the news to her, she had come running to see Elena. More surprising was that when Elena opened the door Bonnie threw herself in her friend's arms as if nothing had changed.
The only missing thing was Stefan forgiving them…Damon and Elena never talked about it, but she knew they both hoped for the day that Stefan would come back to them and all would be forgiven. Until then, Elena and Damon had plenty to explore.

"But Damon" - Elena breathed out unsteadily -"No S&M...okay?"
Damon moved his lips away from her ear lobe where he had been sensuously kissing her as she sat on the edge of the bed with him on his knees in front of her. Elena had wanted to have a serious talk to him and he was thoroughly enjoying breaking her concentration. He looked at her with an amused expression, blazing his blue eyes onto her. A coquettish grin spreading on his desirable lips making her lick her own in response, as he leaned back to her ear to whisper.
"No."- his voice a gravelly as he kissed her softly behind her ear.
The sensation only allowed Elena to feel confused at his response. So when he looked at her she just echoed his words as a question.
"No?"
Damon moved them swiftly so that she was now fully on the bed, back flattened against its softness, her top ripped from neck line to hem as he hovered over her with a seductive smile. Damon trailed his fingers up and down her naked torso with a hunger that make her become distracted. His eyes followed his movements, only looking into hers when he had reached her face and held her chin.
"No." - he repeated and kissed her neck making her moan and her hips buck.
"Damon..."
"Yes Elena?"
"I'm serious..." - she writhed under him searching for more contact.
Damon chuckled darkly.
"So am I doll." - he held her chin to demand her attention.
"Remember Elena? You chose me." - he said with eyes blazing making Elena want to devour him - "And you may have me whipped, but I am still me." - he kissed her lips softly - "And I won't lie to you about promises I do not intend to keep."
"Oh God" - was all Elena could whisper before he sank his teeth sensuously into her throat making her feel and orgasm galloping towards her.
So this is it. Thank you for taking this journey with me! R&R please. xoxo
