AN: Wow 14 chapters! Amazing how much I write lol. I honestly thought this story wouldn't' go this far because I had already plan out how I want it to end but feel it needed more in between so it wasn't all over the place. I know you all want some angst and want to see the couple suffer a little but that shall come soon. Wait for it! Lol

Chapter 14:

EPOV

I sat at my desk at work trying to gather all the information for this event that MPI and SPI are hosting together which I still find totally weird that these two feuding companies are hosting an event together. I only prayed that they act civil at this thing because it will be really bad form if Damon and Klaus got into a fight with all heir clients there.

I was working with Damon's assistant Ashley via email and sometimes on the phone; trying to find the right location for this event. I was going from one office to the other asking Klaus and Elijah who they want to invite and to not invite.

Our bosses finally decided on the location, Ashley offer to call the venue which was the New York City Public Library; this location was perfect since both companies are publishing companies.

I walk into Elijah's office to give him the details but stop mid-way when I saw he was on the phone but he motion for me to come into his office. I stood there with all the paper work and a sample of the invitation to send out to all the clients.

Elijah hangs up and looks up at me and I went to hand him the sample invitation, "I wanted your approval before I order more and mail them to all the clients." He looks it over and nods, "Looks good. Do Damon and Klaus approve as well?"

"Damon approves and I haven't asked Klaus yet." I was hoping that if Elijah likes it enough there won't be a need to get Klaus' approval as well.

He hands me the invitation back, "Please show it to him. I want us all to agree on this so nothing little like this doesn't blow up in our face. My brother can be…a bit of a short fuse." Don't I know it and I like to add pervert to that list.

"Ok, I'll go see Klaus." I sigh to myself and turn away to head to Klaus' office. His door was closed so I knock and waited.

"Come in." I hear him say and then I went inside and he looks happy to see me. Oh great.

"Elena! My favorite assistant. What can I help you with?" He beams at me. I must not roll my eyes I must not roll my eyes; I repeated this over and over again to myself.

"I have the sample invitation here. Elijah and Damon both like it but Elijah wanted me to check with you first before I order the final prints." I place the sample on his desk making sure I have no contact with him whatsoever.

He glances at the invitation and tilts his head to the sigh, "So Damon likes it?" He asked. Why does it matter if Damon likes it or not?

"Yes." My answer was short. I really want to get out of here. He hands me the invitation back, "Well if the great Damon Salvatore likes it then order it. Damon always gets what he wants." His eyes linger up and down my body.

"Thank you." The struggle to be nice was hard. I turn away from him ready to leave his office when he calls my name, "I hope you save a dance for me." I send him a half-fake smile and left his office.

I return back to Elijah's office to let him know that Klaus said to go ahead and order them. "Good, thank you for getting this done Elena." He said.

"No problem just doing my job." I said back.

He smiles, "So summer is almost here; have you thought more about working here full time?"

"Well…I love too but sometime in July I may go to Vegas for a week."

"It's only a week Elena; I'm sure we'll do fine without you. Please consider working here full time; you're a great employee and addition to MPI." Elijah was so kind; seriously the best boss ever for a first timer in the working field.

"I'll let you know by the end of the week. Thank you Elijah." I left his office and went back to my desk to continue the party planning.

It was almost time to clock out and head on home; well Damon's place that is. I turn off my PC and went to get my purse from my drawer. I push my desk chair into my desk and waved good bye to Elijah and headed for the elevator. I got into the elevator and the doors were about to close when a hand stops it and my stomach sank as I see Klaus' creepy smile.

He enters the elevator and stands next to me as we went down each floor. "So Elijah tells me you're thinking about working here full time. I must say I really hope you consider the offer. I'm sure he told you this already but you really are a great addition to MPI." Wow he actually sounds serious and not his usual flirtatious-self.

"Thanks." Keep it short and simple. I now feel his eyes on me and I shifted nervously trying to move an inch or two away from him without him noticing. Come on elevator hurry up!

I jump slightly as I feel his hand touch my bare arm, "Such a shame." He coos softly as he looks at me. "What do you mean?" My voice was shaky.

"That Damon yet again has the most beautiful woman in the city. Unlike Katerina I feel my charm won't win you over like it did with her. You must really love him." I was speechless at his words. Love? Do I love Damon? I knew I was falling for him but to be in love already felt kind of soon.

"I'm not Katherine and I will never hurt Damon like the way she did."

He grins at me, "They all say that. Katerina fought me at first too but she warmed up to me eventually. Perhaps one day you would too. Well we are here…have a good night Elena." He leans over and kisses my cheek then leaves the elevator.

I can't believe he did that! It's one thing to say stuff to me, look at me in certain ways and touch my arm here and there but to kiss my cheek – he really has gone too far.

I wanted to run right back up and speak to Elijah about this and see what can be done but since they are brothers and partners of this company he may end up choosing his brother's side then I'm left with the paranoid of being fire for calling out on the boss for his actions. And if I even tell Damon any of this he will kill Klaus himself.

I have no idea what to do. Oh my, this was probably Klaus' plan the whole time to corner me until I end up giving him what he wants which is me. God, what do I do?

I can always quit but I like this place despite Klaus being there the other employees were nice and easy to work with and Elijah was amazing. Then there's option B; Damon did offer me a job in his company but then I don't know if it's a good idea for us to work together. We can't be in a room without tearing each other's clothes off.

I finally made it to Damon's place and I kick off my shoes and place my purse in the coat closet with my light sweater. "Damon, I'm here." I called out but nothing.

"Damon?" I walk deeper into the living room and all the lights were off. He did tell me to come over; maybe he was working late again.

I search for the lights and turn them on and I scream a little as I see Damon standing in the middle of the living room in a suit and holding a red rose in his hand.

"Finally, you're home. I was getting tired of standing in the dark." He walks towards me and hands me the flower but pauses, "what's wrong?" I lied and told him I had a long day with the party planning and going back and forth between each boss to get a definite answer.

He then smirks and gives me the rose, "Well that's why I'm giving you this rose. I wanted to formally ask you to be my date to this event. Please say yes." His iced blue eyes grew soft and hope as he waits for my answer and I find it absolutely adorable that he thinks I'll ever say no to him.

"Of course I'll be your date, Damon." I wrap my arms around his neck to bring him closer to my lips, "100% yes." I close the space between us to kiss him.

He withdraws from the kiss then takes my hand in his and guides me to his bedroom, "you know the only way to seal the deal is for us to…" He wiggles his eyebrows and I rolled my eyes at him; never fails.

"Of course you want sex to seal the deal."

He pretends to look appalled and hurt by my words, "I never said that but if you insist." He leans down to capture my lips in another kiss.

His lips travel to my neck, "You're lucky I like you." He kisses over the cheek Klaus kissed and I felt cleansed with his kiss.

The only man that should touch, kiss or be intimate with me is Damon and only Damon. I only want him and only him. Then Klaus' words came back to me; you must really love him. Maybe I do love him.

He guides me to the bed and I fell down on the soft silky mattress and he looks down at me, "everything ok?" He asked as he ran his thumb down my lips. I really hate how he can read me like an open book.

I look into his blue eyes and smile at him because thanks to my creepy boss he helped me realize that I love this man.

"Yes, never better. Now kiss me." I didn't tell him right then and there because I was scared of what reaction I'll get out of him. I love you, seems a little too soon to say in our relationship and even more so when the person you're dating is Damon Salvatore.

He quickly removes my blouse and lifts my skirt up then his hand pulls my underwear off and over my legs. I was going to pull my skirt off to be fully nude but he stops me, "leave it." He huskily orders.

His hands trail down my legs and I see a sly smile appears on his lips, "you look incredibly sexy, Elena." He always makes me blush with his words.

His lips then attack my lips and next thing I feel is him entering me. "Oh God." I cried out as he thrust hard into me. I wanted to feel his naked body so I began to unbutton his shirt and ran my hands down his chest to his abs. God he felt so good.

Damon's thrust became slow then he rests his forehead against my own his blue eyes never tearing away from my own brown eyes. He brings his head down to be near my neck as he continues to go in and out of me and I latch onto his hair with each movement he did.

This was different than our other times together; this felt more like if we were making love. Does he love me too?

Damon let me know he was about to release himself and I let him know it was okay to do it inside me since I was on the pill. He always likes double checking. I push my hips up to meet him with each thrust and that drove him wild so he picks up the speed again.

My inner walls clench around him and we both cried out together. He kisses me then rolls over to the other side of the bed.

"Now you can take the skirt off." He tells me.

"Ok thanks master." I jokily said but I saw a glimmer look in his eyes.

"Master?" He says with raised eyebrows.

"Oh no you don't. Not happening." I jump out of the bed to find my spare clothes I leave here for such occasions like this. I slip into my flannel shorts and tank top but before getting back into bed I went to brush my teeth and wash my face.

I shut the lights off in the bathroom and walk back over to the bed. I applied some lotion that I kept in his spare nightstand. I can sense he's looking at me, "What?"

"You know, with all the stuff you leave here it's like you practically live here." Damon's tone sounds very dry. Did it bother him that I leave stuff here?

I pull the covers over and slip into bed, "Well it's better than me dragging all this stuff back and forth like a nomad."

He inches closer to me and says, "So, move in with me then."

I laugh in his face because I do not believe a word he is saying. "Yeah right. Good one Damon. Now I'm tired, good night." I turn to my side to get myself ready for sleep but he turns me over to look at him again, "I'm serious, Elena. Move in."

I shake my head at him because he was talking crazy, "You're crazy. You just got divorced and we've only been together for not even a month. Sure we fooled around for a while but this is different." I'm trying my best to make him see this in a logical sense.

He shrugs his shoulders, "So? Why should any of that matter? What's really holding you back, Elena?" Is he serious, right now? The room felt like it was caving in all over around me. This reminds me of Matt all over again. Next thing I know he wants to get married tomorrow!

"Because when you rush things they end bad Damon and right now we're good." I can see he wasn't taking no for an answer.

I groan softly to myself, "Let's see how things go after summer. I still have to stay in my dorm until the school year is over then I'll consider moving in. Ok?" This was the best I can offer him right now without us getting into a huge-big fight.

He rolls his eyes but agrees, "Fine." We kissed each other good night and fell asleep.

I on the other hand couldn't sleep. I looked up at the dark ceiling and can't believe that he asked me to move in with him.

My heart was racing fast because this was going too fast and when I was with Matt and he talked about marriage and kids and building a future together I broke out all over because of the anxiety but this with Damon…I felt itchy and hot all over.

Matt never stopped talking about how after high school he can't wait to marry me and start having babies and I just smiled at him but inside I was screaming. I couldn't keep pretending I was okay with the idea of us ending up together so I ended things with him before Senior Year.

I don't know what to do one second I finally realize I love him and the next he's asking me to move in. I thought falling in love with too soon but clearly it isn't to Damon; he rather jump to the living together part.

Maybe tomorrow he'll wake up and realize what a crazy idea it is and this will all blow over. I turn slightly to look at his sleeping form and smile to myself I do love him I do but I'm not ready to move in with him just yet.

I wish he woke up and this idea leaves his mind.

AN: Another chapter done. Damon asking Elena to move in…ehhhhhhhh even I think that's too soon and Elena realizing she's in love with him. These two are way ahead of the game lol. Let's see how it all comes together. Until next time readers!
