Whitmore College (Frat House)

Music blasts throughout the room while college students wander about mingling together. Elena's eyes slowly move around the room, taking in the laughter of the other party goers. Across the room she sees Bonnie laugh at something Stefan says before he cradles her face in his hands and presses a lingering kiss to her lips.

Elena smiles softly at the display of affection, happy that Bonnie and Stefan have managed to find each other. A year ago if someone had asked her how she would feel if her best friend and ex-boyfriend started seeing each other, she would have either thought that person was crazy or been angry that Stefan moved on. Now she can see that what Bonnie and Stefan have is amazing and how perfect they are for each other.

She shifts her gaze to look for Caroline and Tyler until she remembers their sudden exit an hour ago. Elena laughs when she remembers the way Caroline practically dragged Tyler out of the door.

After a few seconds the smile on her face shifts into a frown when she thinks about her own relationship. Damon was supposed to meet her at the party, but they had an argument over the phone and he decided not to come at the last minute.

She decided to come to the party anyway, but she has to admit that seeing her friends so in love and happy while her own relationship is basically in shambles is depressing.

Elena is broken out of her thoughts when someone grabs her arm. She tenses for a second before realizes that Bonnie is the one latched onto her arm.

"Hey." Bonnie greets her as she steers them away across the room away from Bane and Stefan. "How are you doing?

"I'm okay" Elena tries to smile.

"We've been best friends forever," Bonnie gives her knowing look. "I always know when you're upset. Talk to me."

"It's just…."

Bonnie waits for Elena to gather her thoughts together.

"He's pulling away from me and I don't know why. All we do is argue." She tells Bonnie about the last few weeks. "I know you and Caroline don't like him which makes things even harder."

"I'll admit I'm not his biggest fan, but if he's making you happy I can deal." Bonnie wraps an arm around her. "The question you need to ask yourself is he still making you happy and figure out where you want to go from there."

"I guess I have some thinking to do."

"Whatever you decide, know that I'm here for you."

"Thanks, Bonnie." The two women smile warmly at each other.

"So," Bonnie begins knowing Elena wants to change the subject. "Have you seen Caroline or Tyler?" Bonnie asks as she looks around the room. She hasn't seen either of since they got to the party a couple of hours ago.

"Oh she and Tyler left awhile ago." Elena gives her a knowing look.

"So that means we pretty much want to avoid going back to the dorm for a while." Bonnie shakes her in bemusement.

"Exactly" Elena nods her head, amusement present on her face.

Whitmore College (Dormitory)

Caroline collapses on top of Tyler and giggles when she realizes they are on the floor in the common area of the dorm suite. They hadn't even made it the bedroom which isn't all that surprising. She hadn't seen him in weeks because he'd been helping other werewolves.

So despite being excited to attend the party with her friends, she quickly grown bored and found she would rather be alone with Tyler more. So they left the frat party and now here they were.

"Think we should get up?" Tyler grunts from underneath her, his voice relaxed.

"Yeah. I mean I think they'll stay at the party for a while, but we don't want them to walk in on us like they did the last time we were separated.

"Okay." Tyler agrees as he lifts her into his arms and walks into her dorm room.

Frat House

Stefan stands off to the side a cup of beer in his hand while he waits for Bonnie to come back, when he feels a hand touch his shoulder. He turns around and comes face to face with a busty blond woman staring at him with lust in her eyes. She's not bad looking if you like that sort of thing, but he still maintains that Bonnie along with Caroline and Elena beat her by miles.

"Hi, I'm Tonya." She purrs making it clear that she would like nothing more than to get him alone.

"Hey" He responds politely before focusing his attention elsewhere.

"Listen, I know you came here with Bonnie, but I have to tell you how hot I think you are and how I would love to make your night." And she would, she's seen him with Bonnie around campus and decided that she would have him and tonight is the perfect opportunity to make that happen.

Stefan bites back his laughter when she licks her lips and gives him a look that he assumes was meant to be sexy.

"Not interested." Stefan then turns his attention back to Bonnie who still talking with Elena.

"Oh come on. You can't tell me that she gives you half as much pleasure as the pleasure I could give you."

"Not that it's any of your business, but since you won't take the hint." He glares at her in annoyance. "That's exactly what I'm telling you." He snaps before walking away leaving the woman with her mouth open.

When he looks up again, he sees Elena walk away and decides to take the opportunity to finally get Bonnie alone. All night he's had to share her with everyone else and he wants her all to himself. So he quietly comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist before he nuzzles her neck. "I missed you." He says as he plants several kisses along her neck, his tongue coming out to wet the area of skin behind her ear.

"Did you?" Bonnie turns in his arms so they are facing each other and he's surprised to see anger on her face.

"Okay what's wrong? What did I do?" He asks, wondering what he could have possibly done in the last twenty minutes that upset her.

"I saw you talking to Tonya." She snaps and he remembers his non-existent conversation with the blonde girl.

"Nothing happened." He says firmly, though he's still thrown off by her demeanor. Since they've become a couple she's never been fazed by other women and frankly aside from a few normal glances, he barely notices anyone other Bonnie these days anyway.

"I don't know if I believe you." Bonnie storms off, leaving Stefan completely confused by what just happened. Slightly annoyed he decides to go after her, not liking her accusation.

Five minutes later, he finds her in one of the bedrooms, facing the window with her arms folded across her chest. Closing the door behind him, he clears his throat and rests his hands on her shoulders, sighing in relief when Bonnie doesn't flinch away from his touch.

"Bonnie…" He begins only to be interrupted.

"What took you so long?"

Stefan can hear the smile in her voice so he spins her around so she's facing him. It's at that moment that he sees the twinkle in her eyes and he realizes that she played him.

"So all of that back there – the storming off, the jealousy was an act?" He doesn't know whether to be annoyed or amused by that knowledge.

"Yep, I know you would never do anything to hurt me." She reaches up and pulls his head down for a kiss. Her tongue traces his bottom lip demanding entry. Turned on he gladly opens his mouth, allowing her to deepen the kiss. He groans as her tongue explores every crevice of his mouth.

They continue to kiss until a thought occurs to him, "Why the act then?" He asks after pulling away, still not getting why Bonnie pretended to be upset with him.

"I wanted to get you alone." She shrugs unapologetically.

"Why not just say that? I've been trying to get you alone all night, no need for an act." If he'd known she was thinking the same thing, they could have gone a while ago.

"It keeps things between us interesting and I knew it would rile you up. You know, I'm actually kind of surprised you bought that little performance. It was obvious from your body language that you were annoyed with her." She moves out of the circle of his arms. "Besides I have a feeling Caroline and Tyler are making use of the dorm as we speak which means going back is not an option at the moment. Unless you want a repeat of what happened the last time they were separated for so long." She looks at him knowingly.

Stefan shudders, remembering the occasion a few weeks ago when he and Bonnie walked in on Caroline and Tyler in the act. Not really something he wants to see again.

"So now that we're on the same page" Bonnie laughs before her voice turns husky. "I want you to sit." Bonnie gives him a sultry grin as she points to an empty desk chair across the room.

He does as she asks and is delighted when she saunters over to him before she climbs onto his lap.

"No bed?" He has no problem going at it in a chair, but knows a bed would be more comfortable.

"I don't know about you, but a bed in a frat house is the last place I would ever want to lay my head." She scrunches her face up in disgust.

"You have a point." He agrees as Bonnie begins pulling his shirt over his head tossing it across the room. He groans when she slowly moves her hands across his chest, electricity running through his body with every caress.

Stefan returns the favor by slowly lifting up her shirt, making sure his hands gently caress each new patch of visible skin. He grins smugly when he feels the muscles in her stomach tighten when his hands touch her. Stefan lifts the shirt higher, softly squeezing her breasts for a few moments, mesmerized by the way her bra-covered globes fit in his hands. Soon her shirt is off completely and then his hands are moving back down her torso to clutch at her hips.

Bonnie begins nibbling at his jaw relishing in the slight growl he lets out while slowly sliding her hands around his neck.

Soon she begins sucking on his neck and Stefan's grip on her hips tightens as he shifts her body where he wants her most. When Bonnie comes in contact with the evidence of his desire, she grinds her hips against him causing a moan to come from both of them.

Stefan pulls Bonnie away from his neck, only to get caught up with her breasts and the way her nipples strain against the lacy material. Needing to do more than just look, Stefan presses several kisses to her neck before lowering his head and taking the covered bud into his mouth.

Bonnie hisses and flings her head back in pleasure as sparks of energy shoot through her entire body. He pulls away briefly to rip off the lacy black undergarment, making a sound of contentment when his mouth comes in contact with the newly freed skin. He continues to suck and nip until Bonnie grabs at his head and pulls him away.

He looks at her with dazed confusion for a few seconds until she leans in and slips her tongue into his mouth. She grinds against him several times, ramping up the sexual tension between them. Turned on beyond belief, Stefan quickly sheds the rest of their clothing and before Bonnie can blink his cock is aligned with her entrance.

Bonnie stares at him unwaveringly as she slides down until he's buried deep inside of her. Stefan begins lifting her up and down on his shaft, gripping her hips tightly as he moves like a piston inside of her. At one point, he feels her walls tighten around him and his eyes roll in the back of head at the pleasure.

The two continue to move, hurriedly, and harshly against each other as grunts and moans are released from their mouths. Eventually Stefan feels Bonnie stiffen in his arms and then she's lost in the throes of her orgasm. After a few more powerful thrusts, his own climax is triggered and he's also lost in an abyss of pleasure.

Bane spots Elena and decides to approach her. He knows Stefan and Bonnie are off somewhere together and he saw Caroline leave with Tyler awhile ago, which leaves him and Elena alone.

"Elena." He nods his head in greeting.

"Bane." She responds back in kind.

Elena is just getting ready to walk away when Bane's voice stops her. She turns and feels a slight fluttering in her stomach when she looks into his eyes.

"Look. I know we didn't get off on the best foot but I've managed to get all of your friends to like me, something I have a feeling is kind of difficult. Yet you still treat me like I stole from an orphanage or something."

"I'm sorry." She looks at him contritely. "It's not really you. I'm just going through some stuff right now and I guess I've been taking it out on you."

"I get it and I definitely could been a little nicer the day we met. Anyway, I was hoping we could we call a truce? Start with a blank slate?" Bane holds out his hand for her to shake. "What do you say?"

"Truce." Elena shakes his hand and tries to ignore the spark she feels at the contact.

A Few Weeks Later

Mystic Falls (Mystic Falls Mall)

Bane waits patiently as the gift wrapper finishes up with his last present. It's been awhile since he's celebrated Christmas, the last time had been some time during 1940s. This year Caroline had invited him spend the holidays with everyone and he accepted. Which means for the first time nearly 70 years, he was buying gifts for people. Knowing that the girls would be making up for lost time, he figured getting all his shopping done today would be a good way to kill some time.

Stefan offered him a room at his place, something he'd been grateful for. Elena had also offered, but he hadn't wanted to stay in Damon's house. He and Elena might have grown closer, but he still hasn't warmed up to Damon and he doesn't think it will ever happen.

"Sir," The gift wrapper addresses him. "I'm done with your order." She hands him his bags of presents. "I hope you have a happy holiday." She smiles at him shyly.

"Thank you." He gives the woman his most charming smile, laughing to himself when he sees her blush.

Five minutes later, Bane is so busy putting his bags in the trunk of his SUV that he never notices the woman staring at him from the shadows. If he had he would have thought she looked very familiar.

X

Qetsiyah waits until Bane drives off before stepping out of the shadows. Within a few seconds, the woman that wrapped Bane's gifts is walking over to her.

"What do you have for me?" Qetsiyah's voice is flat when she addresses the woman.

"He didn't go into much detail, but he did say he was buying gifts for the first time in years. He seems to have grown fairly close to them, especially the Petrova doppelganger."

"Really?" Qetsiyah raises an eyebrow. "The last I checked, they were at each others throats." None of them know it, but over the last few months she and Silas have had various informants feeding them information about the Mystic Falls gang.

"Something changed in the last few weeks because they've been spotted together on several occasions."

Qetsiyah nods. "And about that other situation I asked you to keep an eye on?"

"I have one of my workers in place as we speak."

"Excellent. You're dismissed." She gives the woman her most intimidating look and the woman runs off. "Looks like this will be the perfect time to start phase two of the plan." She grins evilly, her green eyes sparkling at the thought the fallout.

Stefan's Bedroom

Stefan moves sensually above Bonnie, his length buried to the hilt inside of her. "Mmmm," he grips her hips firmly, holding them as he slides deeper and deeper inside of her. He knows it's probably due to the fact that they've been without each other for nearly two weeks, but today being inside of her seems so much warmer, tighter, and wetter than usual.

"Stefan," Bonnie gasps and he leans down to kiss her lips. Bonnie wraps her legs more tightly around his waist, only to moan when he rotates his hips and hits that special spot deep inside her. When he continues to hit that spot several more times, her legs begin to quiver and she starts to move her hips faster. Despite being with Stefan all these months, she's still surprised and delighted by the amount of pleasure he gives her. And today is no different.

The moment Bonnie clenches her inner muscles around him, Stefan feels his cock swell and his face shifts into its natural vampire state. His gaze locks with hers, increasing the heat between them even further and he begins thrusting into her faster and faster.

She moves in time with his thrusts, her small frame fitting against him perfectly as though she were made for him. At the moment, every part of Stefan is focused on the woman beneath him. He can't hear anything but Bonnie's ragged breathing and the rapid beating of her heart. Nor can he feel anything other than the feel of her body tangled with his.

Her nails claw at his back when she feels the beginnings of her release and before long she's flying into her orgasm.

In response the intensity of Stefan's thrusts grows and he leans down to kiss her, his tongue mimicking the movement of his hips. He begins sliding into her relentlessly, his thrusts turning into pounds. Need flares up in Bonnie once again and before long she's coming for a second time, Stefan right behind her.

Boardinghouse

Damon pounds into the blonde, he'd met a couple hours ago. She'd thrown herself at him and he decided to oblige her. He speeds up his thrusts and is about to flip her over when he hears the door click open.

"Damon I–"

Damon stops mid-thrust, turning toward the doorway and is shocked to see Elena standing there. He hadn't been expecting her until later in the week. Before he can say anything, she does an about face and storms out of the room.

He promptly pulls out of the woman and slips on his pants before rushing after her.

"Elena, wait!" He tries to touch her, but she snatches her hand away.

"I just want to know one thing. How long has this been going?"

Elena glares at him and for the first time he sees actual hatred in her eyes. "Elena-"

"How long?" She raises her voice.

"A couple of months." He looks away as he answers her question.

"I can't believe how stupid I've been. I knew dating you was a bad idea, but like an idiot I did it anyway" She said as much when she picked him a few months ago. Now she's knows she should have listened to her gut and stayed single.

"My best friends can't stand you and I ignored that too because I thought you changed! That you weren't the same guy that only cared about himself and what he wanted, but obviously I was wrong."

"…"

"I knew something was up with us. I couldn't figure out why we were arguing all the time or why you were pulling away from me."

He makes another attempt to speak, but she cuts him off.

"I don't want to hear a damn thing you have to say."

This is the last thing she says before she jumps into her car and speeds away, leaving Damon to look on guiltily.

Stefan's Bedroom

Bonnie and Stefan lay tangled together in the sheets, Bonnie cuddled in Stefan's embrace. Caught in the crook between his chest and his arm, Bonnie traces random shapes on his chest where her head rests.

Stefan lightly strokes Bonnie's face with the back of his fingers before he presses a kiss to her forehead. "Can I get you anything? Something to eat or drink?" He asks with a warm smile. He really missed her these last two weeks. She had been so busy studying for final exams and finishing up assignments that she had little time for anything else. So they'd agreed that she would focus on school and they would make up for the lost time when she came home for Christmas break. He had been expecting her back later on in the week, so he'd been surprised and ecstatic when she showed up three days early.

She returns his smile and nuzzles his chest. "No. I'm happy. Just like this."

The two lay together, quietly discussing what's been happening the last two weeks and their plans for the next month. After awhile, he lifts her head from his chest and begins to press openmouthed kisses to her neck, his tongue making shapes across her flesh.

Bonnie's eyes roll in the back of her head from the pleasure and when he pulls away for a few seconds to ask her a question it barely registers at first.

"Having trouble concentrating?" Stefan grins at her smugly, laughing as she rolls her eyes before his mouth returns to her neck.

"You know I can barely think"—her breath hitches—"when you do that." She finally finishes her sentence.

"Do what? This?" His arm tightens around her as he suckles her earlobe between his lips before moving his mouth to her neck once again.

Bonnie is just about to respond when her phone starts to ring. She shifts away from Stefan to pick it up and is surprised to see Elena's name flash across the screen. "Elena? What's wrong?" She answers her voice laced with worry, remembering that Elena was supposed to be with Damon.

Stefan watches as Bonnie stiffens and anger begins to radiate off of her. After a few more minutes she hangs up, jumps out of bed and furiously begins to put on her clothes. Worried, Stefan stands up as well and slips on the sweat pants, she ripped off him earlier.

"What's wrong?" He stops her mid-pace by placing his hands on her shoulders. "Based on the little I heard I assume something happened with Elena."

"She caught your asshole brother in bed with another woman." She fumes as she remembers the betrayal in Elena's voice she told Bonnie what happened.

"She did?" Stefan's mouth opens in shock, though at the same time he's not all that surprised. Damon does have a tendency to sabotage himself when it comes to his personal relationships.

"Yeah and apparently he admitted that it wasn't the first time it happened."

Stefan looks on silently as she comes up with ways to take care of Damon while she pulls on the rest of her clothes. One of her threats involves having Damon slide down a banister covered with razor blades before throwing him into a pool of alcohol and then lighting him on fire. And that was one of her more tame threats.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, he feels his groin tighten. There's something about the spark of anger in her eyes and the steel in her voice that turns him on. It always has. Even when he had been dating Elena. He remembers getting hard as a rock one of the times he'd been high on blood and she took him down with her powers. She'd looked so powerful and he knew she would be a force to be reckoned with. After things went back to normal, his focus was back on Elena, but it was something that was always in the back of his mind.

"Why the hell are you grinning at me?" She snaps when she looks at Stefan and sees the smile on his face.

"I know this isn't the best time to mention it, but I have to say I'm finding this pissed off threat-issuing version of you really hot." He raises an eyebrow as he leers at her.

And just like that he has her laughing. It's not enough to erase her fury, but it gives her a bit of levity for a moment. She gives him a smile before leaning up to kiss him. She lingers against his mouth for a few seconds before stepping away from him and going to pick up her phone.

Afterwards, she looks for her coat before remembering she left it downstairs. So she begins to make her way down the stairs, Stefan right on her heels. "I know we planned on spending the night together, but I really have to go and check on Elena."

"I understand." He nods his head. "Call me if you need me." He pulls her into a tight hug that lasts for thirty seconds before they pull away. "And tell Elena I'm sorry about Damon."

"I will." She nods sadly before picking up her keys. "I love you." She turns to face him as the pair gets closer to the door.

"I love you more." Stefan strokes her cheek before letting his hand drop back down to his side.

Bonnie gives him a weak smile before she walks out the door, not noticing Bane when she walks past him.

"Bonnie-" Bane begins to greet Bonnie until he realizes she didn't even notice him. Turning to Stefan, "What's going on with her?"

"Let's just say my brother is an idiot."

Forbes Home – Caroline's bedroom

"You guys really don't have to stay here with me. I know how excited you were to be with Tyler and Stefan." Elena says as she lay on Caroline's bed, staring blankly at the television screen.

After leaving the boardinghouse, she drove around until she stopped sat in an empty parking lot before she got the courage to call Bonnie and Caroline. Being the amazing best friends they are, they promptly met up with her. And now here they were in Caroline's room, surrounded by snacks, and movies, much like they have in the past when one of them got their heart broken. However, despite her situation, she doesn't want to be the reason her best friends aren't spending time with their boyfriends.

"There is no way we're leaving you alone tonight." Bonnie flops down beside Elena on the bed and grabs one of Elena's hands, cradling it in her own.

"I'm with Bonnie on this." Caroline interjects from Elena's other side. "Tyler and Stefan both understand that you're our priority right now."

"And if they don't we'll make them understand." Bonnie gives her a smile that Elena is unable to resist returning.

The three women silently lay together and Elena already feels ten times better than she did a few hours ago.

Boardinghouse - Living Room

Stefan pulls the front door open and listens for Damon before heading the bar area. When he gets there he sees Damon holding a glass of Bourbon in his hand.

"I should have known Elena would rush to tell you what happened and that you would come here to defend her honor." Damon rolls his eyes as Stefan walks further into the room. He'd been expecting his brother to show up.

"For the record, Elena didn't tell me what happened; Bonnie did." He rolls his eyes and folds his arms across his chest. "And actually I'm here because I wanted to thank you for ruining my night with my girlfriend." He levels a steely look at his older brother, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Watching Bonnie angrily leave my bed to go comfort Elena because you can't keep your dick in your pants was exactly the reunion I had waiting for."

"So you're telling me that you came here to bitch because your girlfriend is giving you blue balls."

"Nope" Stefan gives him a devious smile. "I also wanted to know how it felt to know you have three powerful immortals that would love nothing more to kick your ass."

"So my dear brother, Witchy, and Blondie want to kick my ass? Like I said I'm not surprised." He takes a drink of out of his glass.

"Not me." Stefan shakes his head though he upset that Elena ended up getting hurt. "Bane." He reveals as he remembers having to calm the other vampire down. It was actually weird seeing Bane that way since he's usually so easy going.

"Figures." Damon scoffs in disgust, he hated that tall vampire the moment he introduced and the fact that he's been getting closer to Elena these last few weeks, has been pissing him off.

"You realize you don't get to play the jealousy card when you've actually been cheating." Stefan knows there has been a bit of tension between Elena and Bane, but knows that everything has been platonic so far.

"…" Damon glares at him silently.

"Seriously, Damon? What the hell is wrong with you?" Stefan's voice turns quiet and serious. "You spent nearly two years trying and hoping to win Elena over. You finally got the chance to be with her and you fucked it all up."

"You want me to admit that I wasn't really happy? Fine I'll say it. I cheated because I didn't want to admit that we weren't supposed to be together." Damon blurts out in annoyance.

"If you were that unhappy, why didn't you just end it? Why ruin your relationships with everyone by cheating?" He doubts Elena would have been happy to be broken up with, but it would have been better than this.

"Oh please! Blondie and Witchy barely tolerated me." He rolls his eyes. "They made it very clear they would never approve of me or my relationship with Elena."

"Well congrats on proving that their low opinions of you were actually correct."

"You can leave." Damon points toward the door.

"I'll go, but before I do I'll say one last thing." He turns as he gets closer to doorway. "You complain about never getting the girl, but when it happens you mess it up. And this isn't the first time that's happened. You need to figure out why you have a tendency to sabotage your own happiness."

And with those parting words, Stefan quietly walks out of the boardinghouse, leaving Damon to ponder his thoughts.

The Next Day

Forbes Home

"Okay I love you guys and I love that you were there for me last night and most of today, but you two ditching your boyfriends the next few days to stay me will not make me feel better." Elena moves to the closet to get Bonnie and Caroline's coats.

Bonnie and Caroline exchange a look, unsure they should believe Elena.

"I'll be okay by myself for awhile, really." Elena insists as she hands them their coats.

"If you're sure." Caroline is the first to respond.

"I am."

"Okay we'll go, but if you change your mind, call us and we'll be here." Bonnie hugs her tightly before pulling away.

Ten minutes later she's finally gotten them out the door and is on the couch watching tv, when the doorbell rings. She moves to open it and is surprised to see Bane there with food.

"I thought you could some food and a friend." He smiles at her his dimples showcased to the max and Elena is unable to do anything else but smile back.

Boardinghouse

The door bell rings and Damon reluctantly goes to answer it and is surprised to see Bonnie standing at the door. She looks good and he feels a tugging at his groin.

"Come to curse me out, Witchy? Because I'm not really in the mood for it."

"No. I didn't come here to curse you" She says as she walks past him.

"Then what-" He starts to ask only to be interrupted.

"To tell you that as usual you ended up being right." She's looking at him with her usual disdain, but there is something else there that he's not used to seeing.

"I agree that I'm always right, but what are we talking about here?"

"Elena and Stefan still being in love with each other."

"Really?" Damon actually seems surprised. "He was here yesterday singing your praises."

"Well obviously something changed between last night and today because he admitted he was still in love with her."

"Looks like you should have listened to Jeremy's warnings. But what exactly does this have to do with me?"

She walks closer to him, a sway in her hips. "I want revenge." She runs a hand down his chest.

"If he has Elena, why would Stefan even care?" Damon is unable to stop the jolt it sends to his cock. If he's honest he's always wondered what it would be like to sleep with Bonnie and now

"He may not want me anymore, but he definitely doesn't want me to sleep with you."

He's shocked when she pulls him into a kiss. He tries to resist at first, but it feels too good to stop and soon he's hauling her against him. Just as he's getting into he feels a stinging pain in his mouth and when he pulls away he sees the calculating look in her eyes.

"Was it really necessary for you to kiss him?" Silas grumbles as he makes his way into the room.

"Consider it payback for all those whores you were with before I returned to my body." Qetsiyah throws back at him, causing Silas to look away in annoyance. "You should be glad I didn't take things further." She looks down at the bulge at Damon's crotch. "He certainly was willing."

Damon tries to speak, but nothing comes out causing him to panic.

"Don't worry your ability to move and talk will return….. eventually." Silas chuckles evilly at Damon still annoyed by his kiss with Qetsiyah.

"I'm sure you've figured out by now that I'm not Bonnie and now you're wondering what I want with you."

She shares a look with Silas before continuing. "Well it's simple really; we needed a way to infiltrate your little group. So for the last few months I've had informants watching you all from afar. Imagine our surprise when we were told you were cheating on the Petrova doppelganger." She looks at him knowingly. "It was at that moment I realized you would be our way getting inside."

Damon stares at her blankly, anger following through his veins.

"We knew Elena and the others would be coming home early so we set up the situation with the blonde, knowing that Elena would catch you in the act. You played right into it by not having any self control.

"The best part you've effectively ruined all of your relationships with the others so they won't figure out anything's wrong with you until it's too late."

While Silas explains the rest of their plan, Qetsiyah moves closer to him and begins reciting the spell.

The words spill out of her mouth with an almost sensual cadence and Damon feels his will slowly being taken away. The moment Qetsiyah finishes, he's unconscious on the floor.

"So how much of this will he remember?" Silas looks down at Damon's prone form.

"Nothing, he'll attribute his blackout to having too much to drink. He will never figure out that he's under our control." She looks at him with fire blazing in her eyes.

Turned on he pulls her into a kiss before they disappear in a puff of smoke.
