Chapter 20

Groggily Elena opened her eyes; it was her first morning being back in the States. When she turned around she saw Damon was still asleep. He looked so cute and innocent; she loved admiring him when he was asleep. Most of the time he was the first to wake up and she couldn't see him asleep, so she was very happy she could take advantage of a beautiful morning like this one.

They'd arrived home late at night. After their little moment on the Eiffel tower they'd made love several times, actually so many times that she lost count.

She decided to surprise Damon and crawled over him until she was lying on top of his chest, starting to place little butterfly kisses everywhere. "Hm, morning," was Damon's reaction when he started to wake up.

"Good morning, love," she smiled before kissing his lips; he immediately reacted and opened his mouth as an invitation she gladly took. She could feel the bulge growing underneath her, begging for attention; they were still naked under the sheets, which made it easy for her to slip her hand on his chest, down his abs and finally… she gave him a smirk before taking his cock in her hand.

His eyes immediately shot open at her sudden movement, making him growl. Oh, she just loved waking him up like that. It gave her so much control over him and she totally loved being in control. A smirk came across her lips as she started stroking him at a quick pace, bringing him soon to oblivion. Watching that pure satisfaction written all over his face and listening to his sexy noises, was such a turn on.

She let out a moan when he started massaging her breasts, before taking a nipple in his mouth and sucking on it. Damn, she was trying to drive him crazy and instead she was the one having the biggest trouble with controlling herself. Her body was throbbing with need and she wanted to feel him buried deep inside of her so desperately.

He knew too well how to push her buttons and in matter of seconds she as ready to have him enter her, but before she could sank down on his member, he rolled them over and gave her a wicked smile; he was clearly done with letting her have control. Damn it, just when she was having so much fun.

Before she could blink he pushed himself inside her wetness, making them both moan loudly, how was is possible that he felt better and better inside of her, each time they made love? She just couldn't get enough of him; it made her feel like a horny teenager all over again.

He didn't give her time to think before starting to thrust inside her at a fast pace, giving them both the satisfaction they craved. When he started to work her clit, she thought she was seeing stars. His thrusts were strong and deep, hitting her sweet spot every time. He really knew what she needed the most. Their eyes locked and they kept staring at each other in awe, making the moment more intimate than it already was. She loved watching him during sex, plus it was so much hotter when they kept looking at each other.

With one hand she was ranking her nails into his back, while the other was buried away in his hair, pushing his mouth on hers so she could nibble at his lips. This was really the best way to start the day; she truly started to love morning sex. Waking up in Damon's arms was already amazing, but making love first thing in the morning…it made it all even better.

Her walls started to tighten around his cock, she was so close! It didn't take long before her orgasm hit her at full force, the world started to shatter into little pieces, the blood rushing through her veins…it felt like she was in heaven.

Feeling her come undone in his arms was more than enough to push him over the edge as well. If you could die from an orgasm, he'd sure be deep under the ground by now.

They were both trying to catch their breath, satisfied with their morning activities. "You're such a little minx early in the morning," he smiled at her when he was able to talk again, pulling her close in his arms again. It gave her a save feeling when he did that.

"Like you care, I just rocked your world," she smirked, looking up, searching his eyes.

He just winked at her and gave her a sweet kiss, which turned out to be more passionate then he'd intended it to be…and there goes round two.

When Rose arrived at the office the following day, Jane immediately got straight to the point and started asking what had happened during the trip in Paris, hoping for some tasty gossips. After all, she really needed some information about Elena. She'd always dreamed of a job as a director and Elena's had just the best one!

"Jesus, calm down, Jane! Can't you let me walk in peacefully?" Rose asked annoyed. The secretary really had no shame. She couldn't believe she was actually helping such a bitch, did the woman really believe she would ever get a job as a director? She's not even half as smart as most of the other woman who worked in their building.

"So what do you have?" the secretary hissed, hoping the director brought her something real to work with.

"If I were you I'd watch my mouth before I change my mind and decide all these is not worth it," the director exclaimed, she didn't need people talking that disrespectful to her.

"Okay, okay. So tell me, what do you got on Gilbert?" the woman asked impatiently. It wasn't like she had the entire day, there was still a lot of work to do and the others would arrive in a few minutes. She didn't want to be seen with her 'companion'.

"You won't believe it!" Rose said less mad. She still couldn't believe what she saw herself; she never thought she'd find such information about Elena. She always thought of her as a professional business woman, she would never have guessed that the woman slept with her boss in order to keep her job. What else could be going on? It wasn't like playboy Damon Salvatore would go for a real relationship, let alone with one of his employees.

"Can you just tell me already?" Jane said with an eye roll, she was getting tired of waiting.

"She's having an affair with Mr. Salvatore!" the director smirked. Normally she would've felt bad for betraying one of her co-workers, but she knew there was nothing else she could do about it. If she wouldn't help Jane, the woman would release some dirty news about her, it wasn't like she could afford to lose her job. She lost her husband Travis already after he found out about the affair she had been having with her other co-worker Elijah. If Damon would find out what was going on between the two of them, he would most definitely fire her; since relationships at work weren't aloud. Not like her boss was following those rules himself, but she wouldn't risk it.

"What?" Jane asked shocked. "You can't be serious? Oh my god! I knew something was going on!" The secretary's mood immediately changed.

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either! I even have pictures from the hotel's elevator, don't ask me how I got them, but I can tell, they're amazing. The perfect evidence, I hope you're happy now!" Rose told her, feeling bad already. She couldn't believe she was actually ruining Elena's life, how selfish! There was no going back anymore; not now anyway.

"Not too fast, Rose. I'm not finished with you, not as long as I don't have the job I want."

"No? Then when are you finally going to leave me alone?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "What if you don't get the job? I don't know what you're even planning on doing with the information I gave you…"

"Blackmailing Salvatore of course, into getting what I want. I'm sure you've already thought about that yourself, didn't you? Believe me, he won't be able to say no and I will get that job. If not, we'll see what you're going to do next. Don't forget Rose, you're now completely under my spell and you'll do everything I tell you to do."

"Are you serious?" the director answered sharply, rolling her eyes at the silliness of the secretary. Did the woman really think she'd do everything to help her?

Sometimes she couldn't believe how desperate Jane actually was. For a little more than four years now, the woman had been trying to get a job as a director. Of course their former CEO wouldn't budge; the man knew Jane wasn't capable of being a proper director.

"We'll see about that," the secretary smiled wickedly.

A few hours later Damon walked into the building, immediately getting a note from Jane that he had a meeting at ten o'clock. There was no name, it only said there was a meeting, without reading too much into it he started with the pile of work that was lying on his desk. He'd only been away for four days, but there was a lot to do.

He would've loved to stay home a few extra hours, but when he saw the mess on his desk, he knew he made the right decision by coming to work instead. He and Elena had made love the entire morning, and the night before, and in Paris…Damn, the list was getting long, no wonder he felt so exhausted, satisfied, but still exhausted.

He really should let her get some rest; she was looking pretty tired today. Maybe he should go to his own apartment for the night…nah, he wouldn't be able to stay away from her. They practically lived together, he was never home. Even Stefan was getting suspicious and that sure as hell didn't happen a lot. His brother was always too lazy to actually notice his older brother was gone. Then again, Damon usually never slept at home, he always found some random girls who liked to have him stay over for a day, or a week…it depended on how much time it took for him to get bored.

There had been a few girls that caught his attention, but not the way Elena had. They were educated and beautiful women and it was fun while it lasted, but sooner or later he would find them some fault and use it to end the relationship. Call him crazy, but with Elena…it was different, he even loved her faults.

A sudden knock on the door brought him back from his thoughts and he told the person to come in. When he looked at his watch he saw it was almost ten, he almost forgot his meeting…wait, who was the person he had a meeting with?

"Mr. Salvatore," Jane said when she walked in.

"Oh Jane, there you are. Really, perfect timing," he sighed. "Who's this person I have a meeting with? Cause my agenda just said I had a meeting, but not with who," he explained himself, hoping it wasn't an important client who he forgot about. He usually prepared his meetings in advance, but since he didn't know who it was, it made it practically impossible to prepare for the meeting.

"Actually, we will be having a meeting this morning, sir," the girl smirked. Something was wrong he could feel it. There was just too much confidence radiating from the woman in front of him.

"Why exactly is it that we are having a meeting, Jane?" he asked suspicious.

"I wanted to recommend myself as the new director of the department research and development when you fire Elena." What? Did the girl go insane or something?

"Why on earth would you think I would fire Miss. Gilbert? Look, I know you want her job, but she is a good employee and…"

"Oh, please; Miss. Gilbert…" Jane mocked. "You and I both know it's just formality. You will give me her job, or I'll feel obligated to share some information with the shareholders…after all, it's all about policy, the woman exclaimed, letting her mask fall and showing the real Jane, the one Elena hated so much. Right now, he felt like a fool for not believing his girlfriend, this woman…she was definitely insane. Why in hell would he ever fire Elena? She was a great director, who always did her work just fine.

"Is that a threat?" he asked.

"Oh, no sir, it's not a threat…more like a warning. If you still have doubts I'm more than qualified for the job, here's something to help you decide," she smirked while throwing the pictures all over his desk. "You can shred them, burn them or flush them down the toilet, I have another set in my purse, another at the computer at work and another one safe at home," She let out a cruel laughter and studied his shocked face. "What? Did you really think you could keep hiding your dirty little secret? Luckily I'm still here, isn't it?"

"Where did you get these pictures, Jane?" he hissed. How on earth was it possible that the woman could get these pictures? There were so many of them, on their first night out in Paris, the Italian restaurant, the boat trip…even from when they were making out in the elevator. Where did the little bitch get these from? Did she hire a private investigator?

"I have my sources," she smiled wickedly.

"Rose?" he asked shocked and surprised at the same time, he'd thought she'd been a loyal coworker, he'd never guessed she would betray him like this. "You've got to be kidding me," he said while shaking his head.

"Surprised? I must admit, I didn't think she had the guts myself, but as you can see…she's done an amazing job. So what's it going to be, Salvatore?"

"Can't you at least give me some time to think things through?" he asked annoyed by her behavior. He was boiling on the inside, where did this woman get the guts to threaten him? He was Damon fucking Salvatore; didn't she know who she was playing with?

"You mean to prepare a plan to destroy me before I destroy you? Nope," she said while popping the 'p'.

"No, I mean to make it look like there's an actual reason to fire her. Everyone on board loves her; they're not going to let me fire her if she's done nothing wrong; you should know that." The lie came out easier than he thought, luckily. Maybe he should ask his brother for help, after all, the guy could easily hack someone's computer after all the nerdy studies he did.

"Not my problem, Salvatore. You've got one day, with that I literally mean 24 hours before I send an email to all our shareholders and employees, including your precious Du Chateau. I'm sure that'll destroy a lot more than one career," she smiled victoriously before standing up and leaving a shocked Damon behind her.

He couldn't lose the contract with Du Chateau; that would indeed destroy more than one career. He'd be a dead man if he lost this game. More importantly he couldn't afford to lose Elena, she meant way more to him than a stupid contract.

And there you've Jane! As I told you, here's the drama again! Already wishing I'd kill the woman? :D

As you can see, I decided to first finish this story before starting the new one (don't worry, I will write it). Why? Well first of all, most of you wanted me to, secondly, I don't want to let you guys wait too long to get an update for this story and I'm afraid that's exactly what'll happen when I do start the other story.

Then, for the ones who are interested, this story will have a total of 26 chapter, including the prologue and epilogue. Which means, we only have four real chapters left after this one and of course, my epilogue!

I can't believe we're coming so close to its ending! I'm really gonna miss this story and all of you guys, of course!
