Back at home Clara is upstairs soaking in a bath and Damon is drinking in the living room. Rose joins him.
"I'm sorry about today." She says, "I didn't know that was gonna happen."
"I believe you... So does Clara." he tells her.
"I wish we could save Elena. I know that you want to for your brother,"
"And I will."
Rose smiles, "You remind me of Trevor."
Damon's not sure how to take that, "Why? Why him?"
"Because he always talked a big game, he was always working on an angle but underneath it all, he was the best friend anyone could hope for, your lucky Clara is able to see through all that other stuff."
"And were you and Trevor every lucky?" Damon asks wiggling his eyes brows suggestively,
Rose shakes her head denying what Damon is implying, "no we never crossed that line,"
He gives her a glass of scotch, "And now your having regrets?" he asks
"No, I think I was right to fight it, the way you feel about her... Clara, we wouldn't have had what you two do."
"And why's that?"
Rose finishes her drink, "Because we cared about survival most of all, if you want to survive, you need to not care about anyone else."
"Caring gets you dead, huh?"
"It might just be time to turn the switch off." Rose suggests,
But Damon's not tempted, "perhaps for you, see I have something worth dying for and that doesn't make me weak in fact its the opposite, it makes me very very dangerous."
He clinks his glass against hers and heads upstairs to join his wife.
He walks into the bathroom and just watches her for a moment,
"Did I get a chance to tell you how hot it was... you staking a vampire 4x your age to defend me?"
Clara smiles, "No, but why don't you come over here and show me?"
Damon saunters towards her and starts stripping,
Clara watches enjoying the show, she wonders how she ever got so lucky to call this man hers..
Damon sees Clara's eyes darken in lust as she rubs her thighs together desperate for something else to be between them.
He starts stroking himself, loving the effect he is having on her.
"You want it, baby?"
"Yes," She says breathless desperate for him.
"Tell me, tell me how much you want it."
She feels light headed with the amount of desire coursing through her,
"Please, I want it, I want it so bad." She starts to beg and whimper.
"Get out of the tub, and get on your knees in front of me." Damon orders and Clara is quick to comply.
She kneels before him,
He walks around her, the air between them is sparking in sexual tension one light of a match and this whole place would blow.
From behind her he kneels down also and suddenly he roughly grabs her hair yanking her head back causing her to yelp.
He speaks directly into her ear, his breath sending dangerous tingles down her body.
"You want to be fucked don't you." She goes to nod her head but his grip is so tight she can't move her head.
"Yes," she forces out.
He moves one of his hands around to her front letting a couple fingers drag along her skin from her collar bone to her belly button, never touch any of the sensitive areas that are calling out, dying to be touched and fondled.
"Damon, please!" She begs not knowing how much longer she can go without losing her mind.
"You would do anything I told you to right now, wouldn't you? That's how much control I have over you... how much you need me to take my cock and fill you like only I can."
"Yes, Yes, Yes, please Damon, please give it to me... I'll do anything."
"There's only one thing I want you to do,"
"What, please what is it?"
"Marry me, I don't want to wait or date or fucking court, I want to come home every day and do devious terrible things to my wife."
"Yes, Yes, I'll marry you but not if you don't fuck me right this fuc-"
Damon throws her down on the bathroom floor and grabs her waist to tilt her ass up before thrusting hard into her.
He grabs her hair again tilting her head back as he fucks the eternal life out of her.
"Oh, god. yes, Damon... fuck, don't stop. Please don't stop."
He yanks her by the hair up against his chest and his hands immediately go to her breast kneeding them hard.
"You're so fucking hot, I don't know how I ever have my hands off you." He tells her loving the feel of her pressed up against him writhing up and down desperate for release.
He's getting too close like this and wanting it to last longer he throws her off his dick and flips her around entering her missionary style. She is clawing at him, his back turning a bloody mess as they go at it like there is no tomorrow on the floor. Not caring if Rose can hear them or not.
"I love you" Damon tells her needing her to know that even when they are like this it doesn't diminish the love and respect his has for her.
She yanks on his hair now tilting his head to expose his neck. She bites into hit hard, painfully, nearly tearing out his Adam's apple.
"Just shut up and fuck me." She tells him, He loves seeing her like this, her vampire face out, mouth smeared with blood, naked, animalistic, He moves her hands over her head and continues to drive into her harder and harder. He brings out his own fangs and bits hard into the side of her neck increasing the ecstasy he is feeling right now.
Finally Clara has one of the most mind blowing orgasms of her life and pulls Damon along with her.
He collapses on her chest heaving to catch his breath.
Unfortunately they don't get to stay in their post coital bliss for long and Rose quickly bursts that bubble.
She shouts up for them to come down.
"Ugh, hasn't she gone yet?" Clara complains,
Downstairs:
Rose explains she is on the phone with Slater, she puts it on speaker...
"Look, I want no part in any of this but I did some digging."
"what did you find?" Damon asks,
"You can destroy the curse but you need the moonstone." Slater tells him.
"How? What do you mean? I don't follow." Rose asks,
"Can your friends get the moonstone? You need it."
Rose looks at Damon. He nods his head affirmatively.
"Yes, we can get it." She tells Slater, "What next?"
"You need a witch. Get the moonstone, a witch should be able to figure out the rest. Good luck, Rose."
He hangs up.
Slater's House:
"Very nicely done." Elijah says as Slater puts the phone down.
"Thanks, I have a degree in theater. How can you compel me? A vampire can't compel another vampire."
"I'm a special vampire." Elijah explains,
"What, because you're an Original?"
"Hmm, now I want you to tell me everything you know about Clara Salvatore."
"Married to Damon Salvatore, was a servant for the family since she was a child, they married in secret before going to war... him to fight her as a nurse. Katherine sent her in her place to be locked under the church in the tomb for 145 years until Damon freed her... Rose said once she was freed she orchestrated Katherine's death with the help of a werewolf."
"Interesting..." Elijah says, "now, take this and drive it through your heart"
[He gives him a stake. Slater takes it.]
"But that would kill me forever."
"I know." He's compels him, "But it's necessary."
Slater drives the stake through his heart. He falls on the floor, dead.
Jonas can be seen behind Elijah, "Was it, really?"
Elijah looks unmoved, "It had to be done. He delivered his message. Won't be long now."
Back in Mystic Falls:
Damon Stefan and Clara are outside the tomb starring in trying to see where the moonstone is.
"Anyone know how we're going to get it out?" Stefan asks for ideas.
"Draw straws?" Damon shrugs,
They return to the Boarding House and invite Bonnie over to brainstorm, Jeremy comes along with her.
"I might be able to lower the tomb spell long enough for one of you to get in there and grab the moonstone."
"How? It took both you and your Grams last time, and look what happened to her." Jeremy says concerned about Bonnie.
"I'm well aware of what happened. I've learned a few new things." She tells him.
"Bonnie... just let me go in and get it, Katherine's dead and the seal won't affect me, I can get in, get out, no spells necessary."
"He has a point." Damon says liking not having to risk any of them going in to a vampire lobster trap.
Stefan shakes his head, "No, it's too risky... this is Katherine we're talking about, she would have known the moonstone was her last piece of leverage and eventually we would need to retrieve it, and a human would be the most obvious solution. Do you really think in her last moments she was just making peace... going quietly? Because I would bet anything she rigged something in there with her to have the last word even after her death."
"Fine I admit Katherine is an evil genius but your forgetting about a very convenient Gilbert ring." Damon tells him.
Stefan sighs, "That only works against supernatural deaths... not preplanned booby traps."
Bonnie looks over at the vampires, "How else will you get it?"
"I'll do it." Stefan volunteers,
Damon raises a glass of blood towards Bonnie, "my brother the hero"
Clara is concerned, "Are you sure Stefan?"
He nods, "I'm sure... just promise me if anything happens you'll do everything in your power to protect Elena."
"I promise." Clara tell him.
Stefan looks over to Damon now, "Ugh, fine I promise... let's just get this over with."
"Wait should we, pad him up or something" Clara asks,
Bonnie looks at her, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know some kind of armor... I mean who's to say any Katherine level hijinks could only hurt Jeremy, it just seems like we should be on the safe side."
"She has a point."
Damon rolls his eyes, "Great so he'll wear a cup, let just go."
Meanwhile Elena has convinced Rose to take her to see Slater
Back in Mystic Falls, outside the tomb...
Stefan is wearing his football helmet and protective gear,
"you sure this is how you want to do this? Just saying if this is it your last moment will be you dressed like the dorkiest quarterback in history. Your not even showing off your hero hair."
"just make sure to pretty me up for my coffin" Stefan tells his brother,
Damon scoffs, "you think your getting a coffin? Please, I'm cremating your ass."
"Even better, just remember your promise." Stefan says reminding him he swore to protect Elena.
Damon give him a stoic nod and Bonnie begins the spell to lower the seal into the tomb
Once Stefan is able to walk inside he slowly steps over Katherine's body and starts looking for the moonstone.
He sees it on the ground and despite promising to be careful he walks right up to it but the ground gave way causing him to fall into a pit filled with iron spikes from the chamber gates. Stefan is stuck on one of the spikes and Bonnie is struggling to hold the seal for him.
Her nose has started to bleed and finally Jeremy forces her to stop the spell leaving Stefan trapped inside.
Damon is about to go in after his brother when his phone rings...
It's Rose and apparently Elena has done something monumentally stupid.
