Chapter 37
(I do not own anything please read and review) Sexual themes could be more intense. You've been warned.
Bellapov
"Did you… I mean…" The world seemed to spin on me. I couldn't believe what just came out of Damon's lips.
"Damon did you propose?"
"A proposal actually implies I'm asking. I'm telling you."
"You're telling me?"
He sighs.
"Yes it's much easier this way."
He grabs my hand and starts to put the ring on.
"What if I say no?"
"You're obviously not grasping this Isabella." He slides on the ring.
"See perfect fit. Lookie there… we're engaged!"
He raises up dusting himself off. The band was an amber rose gold color I'd never seen before. It'd had a princess cut diamond in the center with tiny diamonds around the rest of the band. It was the most gorgeous ring I'd ever seen. I wasn't even sure how he came about finding this. I'd never seen this color of band before. It certainly screamed different and that's exactly what Damon's style was, making the ring all the more extraordinary.
"So that's it? I'm stuck with you now?"
He grins.
"Afraid so my dear."
"Well that just sucks."
"Ironic isn't it? Just think of me like a leech. I'm stuck to ya and I like to drink your blood."
He starts to walk off.
"A very sexy leech…"
I roll my eyes but can't control the laugh that escapes my mouth.
"You're so romantic!" I shout out sarcastically.
He stops as he's at the door about to get in the car. He slowly turns and faces me. That mischievous smile forms and I take a few steps back. Before I can blink he's got me on the hood of the car.
"Is that what you want Isabella?" He whispers seductively.
"You want romance?"
I shrug as if indifferent.
"Hmmmm." He moans and kisses along my neck. Damon makes his way to my lips and pulls me into him.
"You were being awfully naughty this morning. Yet you think you deserve something in return."
I nod.
"Is that so?"
I nod again.
"Hmmm." He kisses my lips again.
"And why is that?"
"Because I agreed to be your wife."
"Did you now? I never actually heard an answer."
"You never actually asked me!"
This was only exciting him. He was literally throbbing against me.
"You'd be correct. You see Isabella. This is how I see it. I get what I want… Even if that means I just take it." He kisses along my shoulders and neck. I feel the scraping of teeth every now and then.
"I knew I wanted you from the moment I first saw you. I just never knew it would ever lead this far. Pathetically I can honestly say now that I have you… I couldn't picture life without you. I love you you're the only woman in this entire world that could get me to fall on my fucking knees and beg you to be my wife. That's why I didn't ask. I wasn't about to give you the chance to say no."
He growls his last words. I gasp as he pulls my panties to the side and suddenly thrust himself inside me. I wasn't even aware he'd his pants undone. I was too focused on what he was saying. His lips crash into mine and he moans against my tongue.
"I never wanted anything more in my entire existence!" He declares and strokes about me harder.
At this I let myself go. I couldn't hold back anymore. My fingers clawed at his back. He pushes gently against my chest laying me down against the hood as he keeps going. Something about Damon in uniform only made me freaking orgasm yet again just watching him.
That egotistical grin forms along his face as he feels this. I knew I was running down my damn legs but I couldn't control it. Yet again he shocks me as he pulls out. He starts licking my legs and private area clean, then begins an eating out session much like in the classroom that one day. It was then I realized I hadn't really been fair in that department. Then again I'd never done oral either. I just hope didn't suck at it. Once he's finished and he does this wiggling eyebrow thing and licks his lips. He goes to enter me again but I stop him. He looks to me confused. I stroke him with my hand and make my way down from the car.
"FUCK!" He hisses loudly and I try not to giggle at his reaction
I feel his hands on the back of my head.
"I'm not going to last long." He warns and sure enough Damon erupts.
I lick him clean and rise up.
"Now that was hot."
Damon sighs and fixes my panties and skirt.
"It's too bad the surveillance camera in the car caught all that."
I hit him and he starts laughing.
"I'd so kill you."
"It'd be awfully kinky."
He zips himself up.
"Quite the couple aren't we?" He says looking around.
"Something wrong?"
He narrows his eyes.
"Nah false alarm just I picked up something. By the way feel free to just you know…" He hints looking down.
"Anytime sweetheart."
I feel myself blushing.
"You've never done that before have you!"
"Damon!" I hiss shaking my head.
He chuckles softly.
"Ah I have corrupted you."
Damon however looks around the area yet again.
"Making me nervous there."
He nods but still looks distracted. He walks around the car and opens the door for me.
"Are you sure everything's ok?"
"Yes darling." He says but is still looking around.
Damon gets in the car. But I notice the badge in the cup holder. I pick it up and run my fingers along it. It actually read Salvatore. I look toward Damon.
"Is this real?"
He takes the badge from my hand and clips it onto his uniform.
"You're kidding!"
"Well someone has to be on the inside of things."
"How the hell?!"
"It pays to have friends in high places. In fact she begged me to take the job."
"She?"
"Liz, Caroline's mother."
"Does she know?"
"Yes Bella."
"So you're really a cop?"
"As far as Mystic Falls is concerned. Yes."
"That's insane."
"Hmmmm. I'm not sure I like your tone."
"You go from teaching to protecting everyday citizens?"
"Well I've to have some sort of method in authority in which to seduce you in."
"As if vampire wasn't enough?"
I smile at this and look to my ring again.
"Damon…"
"Yes sweetheart?"
"I love the ring."
He grins without another word and kisses my hand.
Damonpov
Elena and Stefan immediately pop up from the couch as Bella and I walk in. Stefan laughs.
"I can't believe it. You actually pulled it off."
Elena makes her way over checking out the ring on Bella's finger.
"That's gorgeous!"
"I thought so." I say with a shrug.
"We should celebrate." Stefan says with a shrug.
"Don't see why not."
"I may need a few human moment's first." Bella hints heading upstairs.
"Human moment's huh?" I question watching her ass sway about in that skirt of hers as she heads upstairs.
We hear the shower start and I can't help but to break into a vain grin. I pour myself a shot. I tried to think on the recent excitement. However I still couldn't shake the feeling we were being watched. Perhaps its paranoia considering I know how my life is. Nothing's ever calm for too long. I suppose I'm awaiting for the volcano to finally erupt.
"Something else on your mind?"
"Same ole same ole…"
Stefan narrows his eyes.
"Please don't tell me you're having second thoughts." Stefan whispers harshly.
I roll my eyes.
"Why would you think that?"
"You just seem distracted. I thought you'd be bouncing off the walls."
"Just had that sneaking suspicion we were being watched."
Elena and Stefan both give me this uncomfortable stare.
No one's scent that I'd recognize and it was faint, just don't be blabbing' this to Isabella. Let's not run her off yet."
"Thought you said she's used to crazy."
I shrug in thought.
"Damon I highly doubt anything could run her off." Elena says and I put my finger to my mouth as I hear Bella coming down the stairs.
She's brushing her hair and looking for one of her bags.
"What's with you guys? Bad patch of blood?" She teases.
I simply wink and she heads back upstairs. Stefan heads to the basement returning with some of our best wine.
"Certainly calls for it I believe."
Bella comes back down and I'm sad to see she's in a pair of jeans. I'm going to have to buy that girl some more skirts and throw out those pants. Of course I do like how form fitting they are. She sits down but jumps as Stefan pops the cork on one of the wines.
"Jesus Stefan! Warn me next time."
He laughs.
"Sorry Bella."
He pours everyone a glass and looks upon me.
"I do believe this one deserves a toast. To my brother… I can honestly say I never thought I'd live to see the day… or that such a day would exist."
Bella laughs.
"Funny isn't he?"
She nods and sips her wine.
"We should do some shopping. Come up with some ideas…" Elena hints eagerly.
I cock a brow at this.
"What kind of ideas?"
"Hush Damon its girl talk now."
"Last I remember it was Isabella and I getting married. Unless there's something I'm unaware of. Did you by chance happen to propose as well?"
Elena ignores me and takes out this freaking bridal magazine. Stefan laughs at my reaction.
"I thought we were all going to get drunk and celebrate. This isn't celebrating. This is boring."
"You won't be thinking that the first time you see her in her wedding gown."
"Why is it going to be all white and slutty?"
"Damon!" Bella scolds.
"I for one wouldn't mind if you walked down the aisle in a teddy, perhaps some white knee highs and stiletto shoes."
"Oh I'm sure my father would agree."
I tilt my head at this.
"Does he have to come?"
Stefan laughs.
"Maybe we should run off to Vegas or something."
"You're so not doing that to her!" Elena snaps.
"What? What's the big deal?"
Elena and Bella cut me this dirty go to hell look.
"You only get married once Damon. It should totally be a big deal." Elena scoffs.
"Not always…" I hint.
"What are you trying to say Damon?"
"I'm just saying that 8 out of 10 marriages end in divorce."
"DAMON!" Elena scolds.
"WHAT?!"
"What exactly are you saying Damon?"
Bella's face is all rosy red. I couldn't help but to laugh.
"Grr you can be such a jerk."
She throws the bridal magazine at me.
"Didn't hurt."
Bella rolls her eyes and storms off outside.
"Damon…" Stefan says shaking his head.
"What? I was just messing with her."
"Her parents are divorced remember?" Elena reminds.
I wince at this. Honestly I didn't think about that.
"Does that mean…"
"Go apologize!" They both chorus then look to one another.
I grumble and down the rest of my wine and grab Bella's as I head outside. She's leaning against my car with her arms crossed about her chest.
"Isabella…"
She sighs.
"Just go away Damon."
I pucker my lips a bit.
"Hmmm that's just the thing. I don't want to." I hand Bella her glass of wine.
She polishes it off then hands it back.
"Why do you have to say that kind of stuff?"
I sigh shaking my head.
"It wasn't intended to be about us. Come on you know how I feel."
She nods but wipes her eyes a bit. I didn't even realized I'd hurt her feelings that much. It just wasn't that big of a deal to me.
"It could happen you know." She says darkly.
"What?"
She shrugs as if not sure herself.
"My mother left years ago and never came back. She married some other guy and forgot about Charlie and I. That's why I don't talk about Renee or have anything to do with the bitch!"
Ouch… That I did not know.
"Look at me…" She turns but with her head still lowered somewhat. I lift her chin.
"That's not us. You know that. I'm not going anywhere! No matter how much you beg. You're stuck with me."
She smiles a bit shaking her head.
"We will fight. You will slap the hell out of me a few times. I promise to break something at least once a week or so. We'll yell and cuss at each other but then have mind blowing sex for hours on end."
She laughs softly shaking her head.
"I'm right aren't I?"
"Certainly sounds like us."
"So see nothing to worry about."
"I still hate you though."
"Do you now?"
She nods.
"How much?"
"Lots."
"Hmmm let's keep that passion for the bedroom, sounds intense."
The next morning Bella's getting ready for school. I'm still lazing in bed when she steps out of the bathroom.
"Hello…"
"Damon…" She smiles shaking her head.
"Damn…"
I appear in front of her and grab her. I've her back on the bed rubbing against her.
"I'm going to be late for school."
"I don't care."
Bella by far was the fucking hottest cheerleader I'd ever seen.
"Well enjoy while you can I'm changing electives soon."
"The hell you are." I say kissing along her neck.
"You've any idea just how bad I want to fuck you right now?"
"School Damon…"
I growl out and grab my handcuffs off the nightstand. I cuff her to the bed.
"You're not going anywhere at least not until I'm done with you."
I don't give her the chance to argue. I pull down her little red panties and grab her hips as I drive myself inside her. It took all will not to come immediately. Her legs wrap around me and her hands are still cuffed to the bed. Something about all this was completely maddening. I bit down on her neck and began to feed. I continue to fuck her and she's saturating me. I grip the headboard in a finish I can't suppress the grunting moan that escapes my mouth.
After I take a moment to collect myself I clean her up for school. Then I undo the cuffs. She's still blushing a bit as I hand her back her panties.
"Damon?"
"Yes?"
I say still enjoying the view as she brushes her hair.
"Why did you want me to be a cheerleader so bad?"
"You mean besides the outfit?"
She rolls her eyes.
"It's just Elena…"
I stop her before she even goes there.
"This has nothing to do with Elena. This is about you and I now."
"I just figured you wanted someone you could be a bit prouder of."
"What the fuck?" I rear back not understanding where this is coming from.
"Isabella I wanted you to cheerlead so you could become closer to the other girls. I wanted it to be easier to make friends. To be honest it wouldn't hurt for you to come out of that shell of yours."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't get what's going on here? We go from having overwhelming sex to arguing about this?"
"You're right Damon. Let's just not talk about this. It's so much easier." She grabs her bag and I'm floored as to what the fuck just happened.
I hear her slam the door on the way out. I roll my eyes and make my way down the stairs.
"A little early to be pissing people off don't you think?" Stefan taunts.
"Oh shut it."
"So what was that about?"
"She thinks I'm trying to make her into some sort of trophy girlfriend or something."
"Let me guess because of the whole cheerleader thing?"
"I don't get it what's so wrong with that?"
"The trophy girlfriend?"
"NO you idiot. Cheerleading…"
"Bella's not like the other girls Damon."
"I get that! That's why I fell for her to begin with!"
"Well maybe you should tell her that Damon. You have to see what it looks like to her."
"What exactly does it look like?!"
Stefan sighs.
"You won't like my answer."
"JUST SAY IT!"
"To Bella Damon she may feel like you're trying to make her into your own version of Elena."
I felt nauseas and took a few steps back in thought.
"That couldn't be further from the truth."
"Then she needs to know that."
"I honestly just wanted to make things easier for her. She's new and…"
"I know that and you know that but Bella doesn't."
"FUCK!"
"I better get to class." Stefan says looking at the time.
"I'm sure Liz is wondering where I am."
"Not a very good impression… new job and all."
"Yeah, yeah….'
Stefan grabs his bag and starts to head out. This odd panic thing comes over me. Something I'm not used to feeling.
"Stefan?"
He stops and turns.
"How do I fix this?"
"I can't tell you that. That's all up to you."
Bellapov
I wasn't sure what to believe or feel at this point. That and I was mad at myself just as much as I was at Damon. I hated how self-conscious I was feeling. Everything was so new to me everything around me was changing constantly. I've always felt out of place no matter where I was. Ironically Mystic Falls was beginning to feel more like at home than I'd ever felt before. So what the hell was my problem? I take in a deep breath and look at the ring on my finger. I close my eyes for a moment. I was like this emotional time bomb just waiting to go off. I felt all this pressure building up.
"Hey…"
I jump a bit and turn to see Stefan.
"Um hey…" I grab my bag and step out of the car.
"He means well you know."
I nod not sure what to say.
"Damon just doesn't quite think like others."
"I've noticed."
Stefan chuckles a bit.
"Bella you should do what you want. Not what anyone else wants not even Damon."
I sigh not sure about that.
"He loves you. He just wants to help you fit in and make friends. I'll even admit he went about it wrong. He should have consulted you first but that's not how Damon works. When he assumes he knows what's best he just goes for it. I can promise you Bella I know my brother more than anyone. At the time all he was thinking about was keeping you protected and helping you to adjust to a new town."
"Protected?"
Stefan nods.
"This is Mystic Falls Bella. You're the only human out of our group of friends. Why do you think Damon made sure all of your classes are surrounded by us? People die here more than you know, when he signed you up. His mind was focused on keeping you alive and making friends. The uniform was just a bonus."
I blush at Stefan's last words. He laughs.
"How do you do it Stefan?"
"Do what exactly?"
I look around feeling ashamed of what I'm about to ask him.
"Live under the same roof…" I hint.
He cocks a brow and nods.
"Ah that?"
I nod in return.
"It wasn't always easy. I wanted to kill Damon and I have tried a few times and visa versa. Used to all I'd have to do is look at Elena and Damon in the same damn room, I'd feel damn near murderous. I felt resentful towards Elena even hated her more times than I care to remember. But I'd to remind myself it wasn't love that kept Elena attracted to my brother but the blood bond. Once that was out of her system it took some major healing on all our parts but she came back. Damn near killed Damon though. He thought her feelings to be real. When she admitted they were not things tended to get out of hand from there. Damon began drinking and eventually things led to one thing or another. Bella…" Stefan turns facing me.
"I can say this much. My brother has never looked upon another woman the way he has you. Not Katherine not even my wife."
Stefan puts his arm around my shoulder as we head to class. I thought about everything Stefan said. Stefan was like this saint. I knew if it were me personally I'm not so sure I could be so forgiving, so trusting even.
Things seemed to go a lot easier at school today as well. In fact the girls and I were planning a girls night. It sounded fun actually. Can't really say I had too many of those back in Forks. I also decided to give this cheerleader thing one more chance. I mean what the hell it's my last year and to be honest I liked the way Damon reacted to seeing me in the outfit. Not only that but I really did like being around Elena and the others. Even if things with Elena were a bit awkward however they got more awkward during practice today. Caroline let it slip that Damon and she had a thing as well once. Apparently she thought Damon had already told me that.
I just played along my mind was already a jumbled mess. After school I didn't head directly to the house. I wanted to get out and see what else there was to Mystic Falls. I also knew I needed to get some more clothes the weather here didn't quite go with my wardrobe.
I find a mall not too far out and decide to try my luck there. I texted Damon letting him know I'd be running late. I pick out something's I think Damon might like but also some things just for comfort. I even brave it up and pick out something's at Victoria's Secret. As I'm stepping out the store I nearly trip on one of my shopping bags. Someone breaks my fall as they grab my arm. They help me back up.
"Um thank you."
He nods. The man was tall and rather attractive.
"Are you injured?"
"Um no I'm fine."
I blush a bit realizing the store I just came out of. He glances towards the store and slightly grins.
"New to town or just visiting?"
"New. "
He smiles and holds out his hand.
"Elijah."
"Bella."
"A pleasure." He does this odd bowing thing.
I narrow my eyes a bit but nod. I get a better hold of my bags.
"Could I be of some assistance?"
"I'm ok really."
"Please it'd be no trouble at all."
He takes the bags from my hands.
"You really don't have to."
"I insist."
I sigh not really feeling comfortable about this. I shrug and head into the parking lot. I stop at Damon's car and the man makes this odd face.
"Please tell me this is not your ride." He says and looks around acting odd.
"Sorry to say it is. Why got a thing against convertibles?"
"It's not so much the car."
"Um yeah ok…"
He places the bags into the trunk as I open it.
"Thank you sir…"
"Elijah. Elijah Mikaelson."
"Bella Swan."
"Please be leery of the company you keep." He says and does that odd looking around thing again.
I wasn't sure what the hell that meant.
"It was nice meeting you Bella." He calls out as he walks away.
Damonpov
"Ah you went shopping?"
I grin at the Victoria Secret bags.
"I do hope you plan to model."
She nods but is acting a bit odd.
"IS something wrong?"
"No… not really just ran into this creepy guy was all."
"Creepier than me?"
She laughs.
"Surprisingly."
"Did he put the moves on you?"
"Not really it was just weird was all."
She shrugs and heads into the house. She starts to head upstairs.
"Not so fast darling. I think we need to talk first."
I place the bags down and wait for her to come back down. I sit down and pat my leg for her to sit.
"I owe you an apology."
She sighs.
"Damon…"
"Now hear me out." I say running a hand along her back.
"I honestly didn't think about how that would look. You know when I signed you up for cheerleading. My intentions were honestly pure at the time. They didn't become selfish until I saw you in the outfit. I didn't expect to have the reaction I did this morning. I'm sorry if I offended you."
"It's ok Stefan rather explained it to me already."
"Did he now?"
She nods. I didn't expect that one.
"Well what did he say?"
"Something along the same lines."
"Isabella you need to understand that all I care about is that we're together, if you want to cover your body in tattoos and piercings nothings changing that."
"Awesome…"
I cock a brow at this.
"I always wanted to do that."
"Hmmm how intriguing."
She laughs.
"Honestly I'm ok now Damon. Just had a silly human moment. I got insecure I'm over it now."
"You're not the only one with insecurities." I admit.
"And since when did you turn me into a chick."
She shrugs but smiles.
"Why don't I show you my new lingerie see how chick like you feel then."
