Okay everyone so I finished chapter 14! There's some good Delena in here and also some good best friend bonding. I wanted to kind of give everyone an idea of what's going through Elena's mind when it comes to the physical stuff between her and Damon. Obviously she is still young so the physical part of their relationship is all relatively new and obviously a little scary so I decided to have her and Caroline talk through it. I tried not to make it too weird or cheesy so hopefully you guys like it. Also, I introduce Jeremy a little in this chapter as Lexi's boyfriend and I want to make it clear that he isn't related to the Gilbert's in this story. He's a boy at school who is in Katherine's grade. I also want to thank everyone who has been following the story it's nice to know that people enjoy my story especially because I'm having so much fun writing it. Please continue to review as usual I love hearing what you have to say :)

Chapter 14

DPOV

I slowly joined the waking world Saturday morning and looked down at Elena as she slept soundly in my arms, and I couldn't help but smile. Everything finally feels right for once. Even if we have to keep our love a secret, it's worth it for moments like this.

"Morning," Elena said smiling as she opened her eyes," what time is it?"

"It's a little after eight," I said grabbing her hand and pressing a kiss to the inside of her palm," you know you're a cute sleeper."

"Oh please," she said giggling," but I should probably head up to my bedroom before we get caught."

"Good idea," I said rolling over and off of the bed. I just wish we could've stayed like that all day, but one of the many complicated pieces of our relationship prevent us from doing so.

"Well I'll see you in a bit," she said kissing me before leaving the room. After a few more minutes past and I figured the coast would be clear I went out to get breakfast. I put a pot of coffee on and started making pancakes when Katherine came downstairs.

"Damon," she said surprised walking into the kitchen," I didn't know you were home."

"Yeah I got in late last night," I said hugging her," so what's been going on in Mystic Falls?"

"Nothing really," she said shrugging and pouring herself a cup of coffee," but Mason's throwing the big new years party this year. Single handedly ruining one of my favorite holiday's."

"You know how many people go to the new years party," I said laughing," you could go and probably not even see him. Enjoy being single."

"Yeah maybe," she said sitting at the counter," but to be honest I don't really know how to be single. It's been a while, you'll have to help me since you're the professional."

As if almost on queue the reason I'm no longer single walked into the kitchen.

"Do I smell pancakes," Elena said joining Katherine at the counter.

"Yes you do," I said smiling," and Katherine was just telling me about the big new years party at her ex-boyfriend's house."

"Oh yeah I know about that," she said taking a sip of Katherine's coffee," I think she should still go."

"Yeah I know so does Damon," Katherine said smirking," but I'm not sure if I really want to."

"Of course you do," I said handing them their breakfast," come on forget about that ass hole. Don't let him ruin the fun."

"I guess so," she said shrugging," are you two going?"

"I would imagine so," I said sitting next to them," how about it Elena?"

"Yeah I want to go," she said smiling at me," it's new years so I don't want to stay home and watch the ball drop with my parents."

"To be honest I'd rather do that than see Mason," Katherine said taking a bite of her food," but you guys are right I can't let him ruin the fun so I'll go."

"If he bugs you I'll just punch him," I said shrugging," I've always wanted to try it anyways."

"I've always wanted to see it," Elena said looking over at me and smiling. I have to admit it's nice being home and spending time with the girl I love, and my best friend. I just wish Katherine could know about Elena and I, but it would just upset her.

"Well I'm going to Lexi's house," Katherine said getting up after breakfast," I'll see you guys later."

Katherine left and Elena and I finished breakfast before going to the living room and watching TV.

"Oh Damon I didn't know you were home," Miranda said coming downstairs," it's good to have you back."

"It's good to be back," I said smiling," so where are you off to?"

"I'm going to Carol Lockwood's to plan for our next fundraiser," she said grabbing her purse," but I'll see you guys later."

"Alone at last," Elena said smiling before climbing over and straddling me. I have to admit I like this side of her.

"I think you're taking advantage of me Gilbert," I said smirking.

"You love it," she said grinning before pressing her lips to mine. I responded to the kiss and threaded my fingers through her hair bringing her even closer. Her tongue slid through my teeth and ran along mine as our mouths moved together passionately. She grabbed a hold of my shoulders for leverage and started grinding her hips against mine making me groan into her mouth. I moved my lips from her mouth down to her neck and I started sucking eliciting a loud moan from her.

"Damon," she said breathlessly looking down at me as she started grinding her hips against mine again looking for some sort of friction.

"You know all you have to do is ask," I whispered softly in her ear and she blushed. I'm not sure of everything Elena and that little prick Matt did while they dated, so I'm not sure where her comfort level lands. I decided to test the waters and I moved my hand down to unbuckle her jeans. She looked at me with lust filled eyes as I moved my hand down to cup her core on the outside of her panties before dipping one finger into her wetness.

"Oh god," she moaned arching her back and I smirked before slipping two fingers inside her panties. She's practically dripping and she moaned as I start pumping in and out of her. I silence her with a kiss as she grinds further into my hand as I move my thumb up to rub small circles over her clit.

"Oh Damon," she moans throwing her head back before biting down on my shoulder. I speed up my menstruations and I could tell me was getting closer as her hips moved furiously against my hand.

"Come for me," I whispered in her ear and with that her orgasm hit her. She tightened around my fingers as she moaned loudly and let her orgasm take over.

"Thank you," she said quietly slumping down and resting her head on my shoulder breathlessly.

"Anytime," I said smirking and licking my fingers clean. I don't want to pressure her for more than she's comfortable with, so I don't expect her to return the favor. I just want to make her happy.

"You're perfect," she said smiling before kissing me again. I pulled her face in closer to mine as our lips moved perfectly together.

"Did you hear that," she said pulling away.

"Hear what," I said pulling her lips to mine again. Then I heard it, someone walking on the front porch behind the front door.

"Shit," she said climbing off of me and rebuckling her pants.

"Hey kids," Mr. Gilbert said walking inside," what are you up to?"

"Nothing," we both said nervously. He would most likely go into cardiac arrest if he knew the truth.

"Okay well I'm going up to bed," he said climbing the stairs to his bedroom," I worked a long shift at the hospital."

We waited until we heard the door close before breathing a major sigh of relief.

"That was close," she said looking over to me.

"Yeah a little too close," I said running my hand through my hair," maybe we should stick to my room. At least in there people knock."

"Agreed," she said smiling," but I have to say sneaking around is a little fun."

"A little," I said smirking. I put my arm around her and pulled her close while we watched TV. At least if someone found us like this they'd think it was innocent.

EPOV

Words cannot even describe how utterly happy I am right now. Sitting here in Damon's arms makes me feel safe, it's as if all of my worries disappear when I'm with him. We stayed like that for the rest of the day before Katherine came home.

"How was Lexi's," I asked her when she got inside," is everything okay with her and Jeremy?"

"Not really," she said sitting on the arm chair," he broke up with her and she's really upset. I can't believe it they've been together since junior high."

"Jeremy's a pretty cool guy," Damon said shrugging," maybe he'll rethink his decision and they'll get back together."

"Yeah maybe," she said with a small smile," but Lexi said she doesn't want to go to the senior bonfire so it'll just be you and me."

"What senior bonfire," Damon said confused.

"Please don't tell me you forgot," Katherine said rolling her eyes," it's the senior bonfire. It's a Mystic Falls tradition for the seniors to do it over break to celebrate one more semester. You were planning on going weren't you?"

"Not really," he said smirking," you know how well I get a long with school spirit."

"You know you aren't as bad ass as you think," she said laughing," come on you have to come. Please just do it for me."

"You should go," I said with a reassuring smile," I doubt it'll be that bad."

"Fine I'll go," he said putting his arms up in mock defeat," but Elena now you'll be all alone tonight."

"I'll call Caroline," I said smiling," we haven't hung out since before Christmas anyways."

"Yay," Katherine said smiling as she stood up," okay well I'm going to get ready and we can leave at 7."

"I was hoping we could hang out tonight," Damon said taking my hand," now I have to go to some lame ass bonfire."

"It'll be fun," I said smiling," and we can hang out tomorrow. Plus we still have the rest of break."

"If you say so," he said groaning," but it won't be fun without you."

"I would assume so," I said laughing. A few hours later Damon and Katherine left for the bonfire and Caroline came over to spend the night.

"Okay so you have some explaining to do," she said once we got up to my room," because Damon's home and you look happy. What happened?"

"Well we're together now," I said with a big smile," he came home and told me he wanted to be with me, so now we're together. We just have to keep it a secret."

"Oh my god," she squealed," that's so great Lena. I kind of have some big news too."

"What big news," I asked her confused.

"Tyler and I kind of made up," she said blushing," and I sort of lost my virginity."

"Holy shit," I said surprised," how do you feel?"

"Really good," she said smiling," it was kind of great. I mean it hurt at first, but then it was just fun. I'm glad we did it though, I feel more connected to him you know?"

"That's great," I said with a reassuring smile," just as long as he was good to you."

"He was I promise," she grinning," so what about you and Damon? Have you done anything?"

"Yeah kind of," I said turning red," but nothing major."

"Well what happened," she asked excitedly," come on you know you can trust me."

"He uhm used his fingers," I said embarrassed," and like you know I had a…"

"You had an orgasm," Caroline said laughing," don't be so embarrassed Lena you can say it out loud. Just embrace sex, it's a beautiful thing."

"That's easy for you to say," I said gloomily," you're so confident and fearless. I'm afraid."

"Elena I was nervous too," she said with a reassuring smile," but Tyler just made me feel like it would be okay, and that's now it'll be for you I'm sure of it. When Damon was doing that were you focused on being embarrassed?"

"No I was just focused on him," I said blushing again," I guess in that moment he just made me feel good, but when it comes to me doing stuff to him I know I'll freak out. When Matt and I dated I touched his, well you know, but we were both inexperienced and I knew that it was his first time doing anything and there was a level of comfort in knowing that he didn't have expectations. Damon has a lot of experience and I don't want to disappoint him."

"Elena that's impossible you won't disappoint him," she said encouragingly," I was nervous too, but after it ended I was glad I did it. Plus, believe it or not, your instincts will kind of take over and you'll know what to do. He knows you're a virgin doesn't he?"

"I think he assumes that I am," I said thinking about it," but I've never actually told him. This is where our age difference becomes a problem. He's 18 and he's a senior so he's been with a ton of girls, experienced ones. I'm a 15-year-old freshman who's only ever had one other boyfriend and we hardly had a hot and steamy relationship."

"Yeah I know it seems scary," she said smiling," but everyone's nervous their first time. You know the first time I gave Tyler a blow job I actually started tearing up."

"Wait seriously," I said surprised.

"Yup," she said laughing," I was so nervous and I had heard so many horror stories. I thought I would choke or that I'd be so bad he wouldn't ever, well you know. Truthfully it was easy, I just kind of took a deep breath and went for it. It was the same with sex, I just sort of did what I felt like doing and it all worked out."

"You know Katherine told me once that sex is better with people you love," I said remembering our conversation from my birthday," and I get why she would say that. You know being so exposed to another person is really scary, but if you're with someone you love it seems like it makes it exciting."

"Yeah I think so," she said nodding," I mean I never would've expected to lose my virginity as a freshman, but here I am. I just really love Tyler and I got to a point where I just wanted it. Even with the nervousness I still couldn't help but be excited about it. When you're in the moment the nervousness kind of gets shoved aside because all you can think about is being with the guy you love."

"You've gotten smart you know," I said laughing," I'm just glad I can talk to you. Usually this would be a conversation I'd have with Kat, but since she can't know about Damon I wouldn't be able to talk to her about it."

"Honestly I think she knows more about this stuff than I do," Caroline said," but you know you can always talk to me. Even if it's awkward or embarrassing that's what friends are for right?"

"Thank you," I said smiling," just for being here through all of this."

"Of course Lena," she said hugging me," you know you could tell Katherine the truth. She may take it better than you think."

"I don't know," I said desolately," it's not like I haven't considered it. I just know that she would be pissed at Damon for being interested in me in the first place, especially since he's the older one and she's so protective over me. She would blame him for all of it, and then she would be mad at me for lying to her all this time."

"I know she wouldn't be happy," Caroline said furrowing her eyebrows," but if you and Damon work out and stay together for like ever she'll eventually find out. Maybe it would be best to just tell her sooner rather than later."

"I know I've contemplated what would happen if we were still together a few years from now," I said shrugging," by then people would have to find out. I just don't want her to end her friendship with Damon because of me. That's not fair to him."

"You're too selfless for your own good," she said laughing," Damon's a lucky guy."

"So is Tyler," I said smirking.

"Well we're both total catches," she said dramatically flipping her hair. I love spending time with Caroline; she always knows how to make me laugh.

DPOV

I sat at one of the chairs by the bonfire nursing my beer while Katherine went off to be a social butterfly. Mason has the stomach flu so he couldn't come tonight which puts Katherine in an extremely good mood. To be honest I just wish I could be home with Elena instead of feeling like I'm stuck in a John Hughes film.

"Hey there Damon," Klaus said taking a seat next to me," you look nice and pathetic sitting here all alone."

"Good to see you too Klaus," I said smirking," isn't this like your 5th one of these? I've lost track of how many senior years you've failed out of."

"Actually it's my first," he said drinking his beer," I missed last years. I was busy beating the shit out of someone."

"Wow how badass," I said sarcastically," but can you please go bother someone else?"

"Oh I have no intention of leaving you alone," he said in a threatening tone," you put my brother in jail and ruined his life. Now it's my turn to ruin yours."

"Oh please," I said rolling my eyes," I'd like to see you try."

"Well keep your eyes open then," he said before getting up," because I can assure you I'm a man of my word."

To be honest I don't care what Klaus does to me, I'm more worried about what he could do to Elena. I need to make sure he has no idea that we're together because the last thing I need is for him to use her to get to me. Now that he's serious I think it's time for me to tell Elena the truth. She needs to be ready for what could be coming.
