He hated himself because its all his fault. He waited too late and now she was taken. He hoped that he heard incorrectly when he heard the news about Bonnie and Todd dating, he had to clean his ears then ask again.

"When did this happen?"

"About two weeks ago? I saw them holding hands when I was at Mystic Grill." Tyler informed him.

"No shit." Stefan said above a whisper.

He knew why Bonnie had even accepted Todd's offer and that's because he has intentionally been ignoring her because he was letting his feelings for her get to him. Instead of telling her how he felt, he ignored her making it seem like he didn't like her at all or just thought of her as a booty call.

"Hey, Care." Stefan answered his phone.

"I take it you heard by the tone of your voice."

"Heard about what?"

Caroline rolled her eyes, "Do you really want me to say it out loud? What you need to do is get you vamp ass over Bonnie's and tell her how you feel."

Stefan sighed, "I can't do that."

"Why the hell not? You've been bitten by the love bug and now it's time for you to admit to the person you love."

He sighed again knowing she was right. Just when he was about to respond he heard the laugh that he fell in love with when he first heard it. He turned to see the woman that currently holds his heart and her boyfriend Todd. Seeing them together was harder than he thought and when he saw them kiss, he couldn't stop his fangs from making an appearance.

"Caroline, I'll call you back." Stefan said hanging up the phone.

He tapped his finger against the table trying to tell his mind to not so what it was about to do. Letting out a breath, Stefan walked up to the couple and seemed to gain Bonnie's attention before he even reached them.

"Hey, Bonnie, Todd." Stefan said placing his hands firmly on Todd's shoulders giving them a squeeze.

"H-Hey, Stefan." Bonnie replied.

"You don't mind if I steal Bonnie real quick do ya?"

"I guess not."

Stefan smiled and released the hold that he had on his shoulders nodding Bonnie over. Todd circled his shoulders trying to soothe the pain he was feeling as he watched his girlfriend walk pass him.

"Were you trying to break him or something?" Bonnie said once she stood in front of the vampire.

"What are you doing with this kid?" Stefan asked ignoring her question.

"Well I've heard it's called dating."

"Bonnie I'm serious, why are you with him?"

"Because he asked me out and I happen to like him. Why do you even care?"

"I think you know why I care." Stefan said then pulled her body into his.

Bonnie opened her mouth slightly feeling his hardness against her. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You're the only one that can get this reaction out of me. Ditch the bitch and come with me."

"Stefan, I-" her breath became heavy when his lips pressed kisses to her neck, "Stefan, I can't."

He brought their foreheads together and rubbed his nose across hers. "Why not, baby?"

They were so physically close that Bonnie barely had enough air to breathe.

"Because what you want from me is physical and nothing more." Bonnie tried to walk away but Stefan grabbed her arm.

"That's were you're wrong, Bonnie. I wanted you to be my girl since the day I met you."

"Well you're a little too late. Now if you'll excuse me."

Even though she was walking away from him, Stefan smiled as he smelt the reaction that he got out of her. She still had a thing for him and right now he wouldn't push it.

-()-

It only took a week and a half of pure torture for her to show up at his door. Stefan would tease her in the slightest ways to make goose bumps sprout on her skin and worst of all most of it was when Todd was around.

One day she was sitting on a stool at a bar when Stefan came up to her and turned her around in the chair. Bonnie narrowed her eyes at him and when she felt his hands trail up her bare knee all the way into her skirt she knew she was in trouble.

"A man should never leave a woman like you unintended." Stefan said moving his hand further up.

"He's in the bathroom," Bonnie pulled his hand out of her skirt though she badly wanted to leave it where it was. "Now leave before he comes back."

"Now what fun would that be?" Stefan said before kissing her. She wanted to push him away but his lips felt so good that she couldn't help but to kiss him back.

When he pulled away she frowned and was going to ask why he pulled back, but Todd sat down beside her and Stefan was gone.

She had several stare downs from the bar tender who had witnessed the whole exchange between the two and for her to be now with a different guy, it didn't give her much of a good reputation.

Stefan wasn't always so lust worthy with Bonnie, other times he would hand her a rose or a mini teddy bear holding a heart between its hands. She would smile and smell the roses and have the bears collect dust on one of the shelves in her room even though she knew that she should've just thrown them away.

There were days that the only subject on her mind was Stefan and instead of letting it drive her insane, she decided to visit the cause of her problems.

Stefan grew a smile as he heard Bonnie's car pull into the driveway and made sure to take a little time in answering the door just for dramatic effect.

"Bon-" Stefan was cut short when she threw herself at him.

Stefan laid on his back with utter surprise at the woman that was straddling his lap. "Did Caroline ever tell you I'm a witch?"

"What?" His eyes grew wide.

"Yep," Bonnie wrapped her hand around his neck, "now you leave me alone or I'll kill your vampire ass."

Stefan didn't think that he could get more turned on. A sexy woman dressed in all black with her eyes filled with fire. He could feel the magic flow through her body and he wonders why he's never noticed it until now.

"I don't think that's what you want. It's not what I want either."

"How do you even know what I want?"

"Because we want the same thing." Stefan switched their positions having her on her back pining her arms above her head.

Stefan looked in her eyes then kissed her. Instead of kissing him back, Bonnie threw him into the nearest wall. Stefan stood up quickly and sped over to her slamming her back into a wall and kissed her again. He smiled when she kissed him back but she slapped the smile right off his face and pulled him back down connecting their lips.

He sped them up to his room and instead of rushing to sex, Bonnie sat him down at the end of the bed and removed the shirt from her skin. Stefan pulled her down his lap kissed her once, sweetly. Bonnie circled her arms around his neck and found herself on her on her back staring into Stefan's eyes. He looked down at her lips and Bonnie raised her head so their lips could make contact.

She lifted her leg to wrap around his hip when his tongue entered her mouth. Bonnie raised her hip to meet him and Stefan groaned at the contact and lifted himself up to remove his shirt. He kisses a path starting from her forehead, connecting their lips, and down her neck and chest. Taking off her bra, Stefan continues to kiss down her stomach stopping at her jeans and unbuttons those. Her panties were next and once he got a good whiff of her scent he had to get a taste. He's only had the pleasure of tasting her when he licked his fingers clean so this would be a new experience for the both of them.

Bonnie's hips rose as she felt his tongue lick her cilt and Stefan had to hold her still. He continued his licking and sucking and kissing causing Bonnie to grip the sheets with the lights flickering and when she came in his mouth the lights went out completely. That however didn't stop Stefan from entering her and moving slowly in her. Bonnie was thankful for his pace because she wasn't sure if she would've made the whole house collapse if he went any faster.

"It was that good, huh?" Stefan said in her ear then chuckled.

"Don't grow a big head." Bonnie said holding back a moan.

"You taste so damn good."

Stefan moved his face to cover hers and pressed a kiss to her lips before moving faster.

Stefan's shirt covered her petite body as their lips parted for the first time in what seemed like an hour. He pulled her body in closer circling his hands around her frame.

"Stefan, I should go."

"No, no" she felt his arms tighten around her, "stay with me. Just for tonight."

She sat up a little and looked in his eyes. She hated to break the date she had planned with Todd, but Stefan was, well, Stefan.

"Fine, let me at least use the bathroom."

"And while you're in there figure out a way to fix these lights." Stefan slapped her ass then laid back on the bed.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and walked to the connected bathroom. She really didn't have to go but she just didn't want to leave Todd hanging so she sent him a text saying that she couldn't make dinner. He must have been near his phone when he texted almost instantly back asking why she couldn't be there so she quickly made up an excuse then shut off her phone and ran the water acting as if she was washing her hands.

When she walked out, Stefan was standing by the nightstand lighting a candles. The candles were somewhat all over the room on both high and low places making it look like a romance scene in a movie.

"So you don't want me to fix your lights?" Bonnie said crawling on the bed.

Stefan looked over his shoulder, "You could save that for tomorrow, this is more romantic."

He climbed in bed with her and kissed her. "Don't you think?"

"Yes, it's very romantic."

"Good because I have something to tell you." Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "I love you Bonnie Bennett. I love everything about you, head to toe, inside and out."

"Stefan, you're really not making this easy for me."

"Do you love me?"

Bonnie let out a breath through her nose while closing her eyes. "Yes."

"Then be with me. Chose to stay with me."

Bonnie stared into him intense eyes as his bore into hers. "Okay."

Stefan smiled and leaned down to kiss her. She sighed and rested her head on his chest feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders.
