Sorry it's been a bit since the last update. I have been crazy busy! But rejoice, for the next chapter is hereeee and it's saucy. ;)

Bonnie's heart thumped furiously as she entered Damon's dimly lit room. Taking a breath, she felt a slight bit of comfort at the scent of him that hung onto every particle of oxygen around her.

"I'm sorry about earlier." Damon immediately apologized as he turned to face her.

A frown turned Bonnie's lips down as the memory replayed in her head, "Have you not—"

"No." Damon answered, already knowing the question.

"Why?"

Damon shrugged, "I haven't exactly been thirsty."

"Oh." Bonnie's mouth made a little circle and she hung her head.

"But Meredith made me drink a couple blood bags, so please don't be afraid! I won't hurt you!" Damon clarified hastily, scared of losing her.

Bonnie turned watery chocolate orbs up at him, "I'm not afraid of you."

"Wait—Meredith?" she continued.

Damon sighed and shook his head, waving a nonchalant hand through the air, "Yeah, she found me after I—you know…"

"She helped you?" Bonnie asked, touched at the idea.

Damon tilted his head side to side, "More or less."

Bonnie flashed a small smile but her expression quickly faded to worry.

"So she knows about what happened?"

"Yes."

"Was she upset?" Bonnie's eyes were perfect circles of concern.

Damon shook his head, "She just wanted to help. She's been doing that a lot lately…"

Bonnie's face softened and a heartwarming smile replaced her frown.

"She has?"

"Annoyingly so." Damon admitted.

There was silence between them for a moment as Bonnie's thoughts swirled with endearment and Damon carefully etched every detail of her face into his mind. Her brows suddenly pulled together and the cute smile brightening her face dropped.

"I'm sorry for not coming after you. I wanted to! But I—I just didn't know what to do. My mind felt so torn and everything happened so fast!" Bonnie spoke up.

Damon's thick brows pinched closer as he looked down at the girl apologizing to him over a position he had put her in.

"It's my fault. I never should have put you at risk like that. I just wasn't paying attention to the hunger enough. I should've been." Damon berate himself aloud, much to Bonnie's dismay.

She took up his hand in hers again, "It's ok. I'm ok."

The room buzzed with blaring quietness once more and Bonnie dropped his hand to stare down at her shuffling feet.

"Is that all you wanted to talk about?" she questioned timidly.

"You're still mad at me…" Damon spoke clearly, confidently. It wasn't meant to be a question.

"…Yes." Bonnie answered softly.

Damon's stoic expression faltered just barely, revealing his inner turmoil.

"Will you ever not be…?" he rasped.

Bonnie shrugged, but in the back of her mind she knew the correct answer. That shield she had carefully constructed around herself kept her from spilling the right words from her mouth.

"So you can forgive Elena, but not me?"

Bonnie glared at him, "I never said I forgave her."

"You're just able to go back to normal with her because…? Is it some girl code I don't know about?"

"I'm not back to normal! I'm trying to be! It's called a second chance!" Bonnie argued.

"So I don't get the same treatment then?" Damon retorted, becoming heated.

"I've given you multiple chances, Damon! And every time you've gone back to Elena!"

Damon looked as if he'd just been slapped, a weird mix of anger and agony twisting his face. He dropped his gaze to the floor.

"So I'm out of chances then?"

When he heard no reply, he looked to her face to see her hands slapped over it.

"Is that what you're saying?" his voice was calm, but cold as his heart slowly froze over as the chance of losing her grew exponentially. He braced himself for the storm that would stir within him at her disappearance.

"I don't know!" Bonnie shouted, her voice muffled by her hands.

Damon watched her shoulders shake as she cried into her palms. The storm was eminent in his system and he wasn't sure he would make it through this one. He hung in the balance of having everything and nothing left to lose all at once. Something in him snapped, and he took hold of her upper arms.

"I can't lose you!" he yelled, and his hands trailed softly down the length of her arms as he fell to his knees.

Bonnie stared down at him through blurred eyes, "Damon…"

"Please just—" he ground his teeth to keep his sorrows at bay, but tears managed to sneak passed his barriers, leaving visible tracks down his face, "don't leave."

Bonnie tore away from his grasp and turned her back to him, falling to shambles as she bawled into her hands.

"I-I can't get—" she sucked in a sharp intake of breath, "get hurt a-again…"

Damon found the strength to stand, intent on fighting for the one thing he wanted most. He would give it all he had until it wasn't enough. Four fingers curled around her upper arm and locked in place with the hook of his thumb. He spun her around and tore her hands from her overflowing mahogany pools.

"Then help me be better! Teach me how to make things right! Let me try!"

Damon cupped her face in his hands, drawing delicate circles in her cheeks with his thumbs, "I need you. Don't give up on me. Please…"

Bonnie clasped her fingers around his wrists and leaned into his hand as tears streamed down her face and clashed against his skin. Her thoughts drifted back to the night he had admitted his feelings for her, when he had hushed her from telling him she loves him.

"Then I want you to say it." She spouted through shaky breaths.

Damon's eyes searched hers frantically for the answer to her riddle, "What?"

Taking in the deepest breath she could into her frenzied lungs, she smashed her lips together as she looked deep into the black eyes desperate to keep her.

"Tell me you love me."

Her breath held as his obsidian jewels flitted back and forth between her bronze ones. His face inched barely closer to hers, their noses nearly brushing. His eyelids dropped with his eyes, now focused on her parted lips. The dark aura about him turned heady and draped itself enticingly around Bonnie's small frame. Her pounding pulse leapt into a sprint as his breaths mingled with hers.

"I love you…" he breathed huskily, letting his lips graze hers.

Bonnie whimpered and jumped onto her toes, smashing her lips against his. Damon moaned ferociously and slid his fingers back into her curls, relishing in the way they coiled around his fingers as if they worshipped his touch. Bonnie's head spun as she gave into him, throwing her arms around his neck and yanking herself as close to him as she could get. Taking control of their kiss, Damon took a fistful of her curls and yanked her head back. His tongue dove deep into her mouth and massaged hers. He cradled the back of her head as he drove her into the door with a bang, rattling the door against its frame.

Bonnie practically clawed his chest as she tried feverishly to lift herself into his arms. Damon greedily scooped her up and secured her against him, impatiently wrapping her legs around his waist as he latched his mouth to her throat with sloppy kisses and harmless bites. Awarding Damon a very pleased moan, Bonnie let her head fall sideways to grant him full access to the sensitive skin there. He trailed his tongue softly along her neck, lighting her nerves on fire. His teeth dragged along her collarbone, and her thighs tightened around his narrow waist.

Growling possessively, Damon spun them around and flung the fiery red-head down onto his bed. He caged her beneath him and their mouths battled for dominance as they sucked and nipped at one another's swollen, pink lips. Her fingers combed through his hair, sending shudders down to his toes, and Damon dragged a commanding hand down her body, demanding a reaction. Her hips rolled against his as she arched into him and moaned into his mouth.

Pushing off from the bed, Damon knelt back on his legs, smirking at the sight of Bonnie's flushed skin and how her legs remained locked around him. Crossing his arms, he took two handfuls of his t-shirt and pulled it up over his head in one fluid motion. Bonnie nearly drooled at the way his taught muscles rolled deliciously beneath his flawless skin. Every abdominal muscle was carved too perfectly until they faded at the V of his hips, which disappeared tantalizingly beneath the waistband of his joggers hung too low. Every muscle in his arms flexed as they caught his weight at either side of her head. His heavy-lidded eyes bore into hers, and she felt his fingertips brush her stomach beneath her loose-fitted pajama top.

"Do you want this?" he breathed.

Practically panting, Bonnie nodded furiously and helped Damon take her top off. He tossed it to the floor and gave her bare breasts a nice massage before touching his chest to hers. Bonnie moaned loudly and Damon muffled her with his lips, smirking against her mouth. Feeling his lips curling up, Bonnie couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. She giggled into their kiss, feeling the low vibrations of Damon's chuckle as she did so.

In the next moment, Damon had both their pants discarded onto the floor and he was pounding into her, rattling the bed against the wall. Bonnie locked her ankles around him, scraping and scratching along his body as he brought her closer and closer to the brink of ecstasy.

Meredith and Elena sat in Bonnie's room, scraping out the remnants of their ice creams from the bottoms of the wax-paper pints. Scooping the last bites into their mouths, Elena set her pint down with the spoon resting inside. She tapped on her crossed legs impatiently and looked back at the bedroom door.

"You think she's ok?"

Meredith looked over her shoulder at the clock on Bonnie's dresser. It was approaching an hour since they had seen Bonnie walk off with Damon. Meredith untwisted her body and sighed, recalling Damon's slip up from he and Bonnie's prior talk. What if he had done something to her? But no, he wouldn't have…right? He had two bags of blood in him. That should've held him over enough to not go completely animalistic on her. Still, the possibility bugged her more than she liked.

"I mean, I think so…" she said unsurely.

The two girls shifted anxiously and stared at one another until Meredith shot up from the floor.

"I'm gonna go check on her!"

Elena let out the breath she had been unknowingly holding and fell back down against the floor. She pulled out her cellphone to text Stefan.

"Please do!" she called gratefully after Meredith.

Tip-toeing towards Damon's room, she tried to peer under the door to see if she could notice their shadows. The room wasn't very well lit though and Meredith let out a frustrated sigh as she relaxed her squinted eyes and padded closer. As she waded further down the hallway, a noise caught her ears—banging.

Her eyes went wide, "Oh, Bonnie…" she whispered to herself as she rushed down the hall.

She slowed her footsteps as she realized the banging had a pattern and no variation of pitch. A muffled girl's voice barely reached her ears and Meredith craned her head out just slightly further to hear better.

"Fuck!" she heard Damon exclaim and his voice sounded strangled, but not in pain—in…

Meredith's eyes bulged and she slapped a hand over her mouth to quiet the snort of laughter that threatened to burst from her lips. She was so glad she had encouraged Matt to take out that girl from his Spring semester college class that liked him from high school.

Bonnie's muted screams rung faintly in Meredith's ears and the brunette rolled her eyes before rushing back to her—occupied friend's room. She slipped back into the door and Elena looked at her expectantly, propping herself up on a single elbow.

"Is she ok?" Elena asked innocently.

Meredith couldn't help but let a laugh slip, "She's more than ok…"

"Oh good!" Elena chirped and continued texting.

Meredith stared at her dubiously when Elena suddenly froze mid-text and turned wide eyes on her.

"Oh!" the blonde reiterated in a much more serious tone.

Bonnie straddled Damon as he guided her hips up and down. Her eyes fell to his mouth, lips painted in fresh crimson as a trail of blood leaked from the corner. Slowing their movements, Damon wound his fingers around the back of her neck and brought her mouth to his. Parting their lips, Bonnie quickly swallowed the warmth of his blood as it poured into her mouth and washed over her pearly white teeth. Kissing for a moment longer, Damon ripped his lips from hers and let his fangs sink into her throat. He pushed his punctured wrist to her lips and let her suck as he savored the sweetness of her life essence.

Blood spilled and splattered all over his silvery bed sheets as they drank and writhed in the pleasure building up in every single cell in their bodies. Damon flipped her over, reclaiming dominance in their lovemaking as the blood from her neck seeped out and soaked into the bed. Streaks of the cherry-colored liquid trailed their bodies, slippery and smeared in places while becoming tacky in others. He thrust into her until he climaxed, and she followed him into euphoria, screaming into his bleeding wrist as she rode out the pleasure for the second time that night.

Falling back into old routines, Damon sealed up their wounds and then fell onto his back beside her. Taking up her sullied, lazy limbs, he pulled her against his chest and tilted her chin up for one more searing kiss.

"I love you," Bonnie breathed just as his lips broke from hers.

Damon smiled and pulled her fingers up to his lips, kissing them one by one, "As I love you..."

Bonnie raised her hooked pinky up to him.

"Promise not to break my heart again?" she asked a little breathlessly, still attempting to catch it.

Damon instantly looped his pinky around hers and kissed it for extra measure, "Promise. I'm never letting you go, Miss McCullough."

"Mmm, good." Bonnie replied sleepily, snuggling into his chest with a smile plastered on her lips.

Damon twirled his fingers lazily through her hair until he heard a tiny snore and for the first time in days, he fell peacefully asleep and stayed that way until morning.

Elena awoke to the warm sun peering through Bonnie's window. The rays shined right in her eyes and she groaned and stretched along Bonnie's fluffy bed. Bringing her arms down, she knocked her elbow against something hard. The girl beside her groaned loudly and rolled over.

"Ow…" complained a groggy Meredith, holding her shoulder.

Elena let out a short laugh, forgetting that she had fallen asleep beside Meredith last night as they talked through her feelings about Damon and Bonnie. After unlocking Elena's suppressed emotions, the blonde had cried, admitting how the acceptance was hard but that she was happy for Bonnie nonetheless. She hadn't regretted that she chose Stefan. She was happy with him, happier than she would have been with Damon. Her anger had come more from a place of fear than jealousy. She was scared of losing Damon, of losing his presence in her life, of losing her opportunity. Ultimately, she wanted this relationship to flourish, for Damon's sake as much as for her best friend's.

"Sorry." She mumbled and hopped up from the bed as she heard Meredith's snores begin again.

She began stretched her arms up over her head and elongated her torso. The loud creaking of a door opening from down the hall travelled to Elena's small ears. She let her arms drop and hastily tip-toed to the door. Pressing her ear to the crack, she listened closely to the sound of a door shutting and manly footsteps walking down the hall. She distanced herself from the door as the footsteps waltzed by and then hit the stairs. They were his footsteps, she was sure of it. Which meant that Bonnie was alone, and she would be the first to hear details this time instead of Meredith.

She perked up with a giddy smile as she snuck from the room in an attempt not to wake Meredith and headed down the hall to Damon's room and tapped her knuckles softly to the door as she twisted the doorknob with the other hand. Creaking the door open, she slipped inside the room and turned to gush with her best friend.

The smile dropped from her face instantly at the sight that perforated her vision.

"Oh…my…God…" she slowly rose her cupped hands to her mouth, her eyes nearly falling from their sockets.

Not only was Damon still in the bed with a naked Bonnie curled up on his chest, but the sheets, the pillows, and the mattress was coated with dark red and brown puddles of dried-up blood.

Damon's eyes fluttered open and his arms immediately tightened around Bonnie before his gaze landed on Elena. They shot open wide then and he yanked the sheets over Bonnie's nude form.

"Elena, what are you—" his irritated tone began, and then he followed her line of sight, which wasn't even on him but darting around the bed to all the bloody stains.

"Elena…" he called, trying to get her attention before she screamed, or passed out. He wasn't positive which was going to come first.

Bonnie stirred against him and he groaned low in his chest, having to deal with two panicked women wasn't in his morning plans. The red-headed girl lying on top of him gasped and scrambled upwards, knowing exactly what Elena was thinking.

"Elena!" she yelled in a quiet voice filled with guilt.

Damon took hold of her arm as she straddled him, holding the soiled sheets over her bare, bloody body. Bonnie turned her saucer eyes on him and he could see her pulse pounding beneath the skin at her throat. He rubbed her arm soothingly, trying his best to calm her and let her know she wasn't alone in this.

Looking into his reassuring eyes, she nodded just enough for him to notice and relaxed slightly.

"What—" Elena cut herself off with her own gasp as she covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Elena, let's just talk, ok?" Damon suggested in calm tones.

Moving her hands up over her eyes, she shook her head hard as if trying to clear the image from her mind, or to wrap her mind around it. Neither seemed to be working as she moaned as if in pain, long blonde strands twisting from side to side with the shakes of her head.

Then she ripped her hands from her lapis jewels, and Bonnie almost jumped at the sudden fury swirling there.

"Oh we're going to talk!"

She pointed a shaky finger at the red-stained, disheveled couple, shifting it between them.

"You two—clean up! Then we're talking! Downstairs!" she yelled, trying to avert her gaze from them and the bed.

With an appalled huff, she spun on her heel and stomped from the room muttering to herself, "What the hell?!"

Bonnie let out a long sigh as her body slumped and she looked down at Damon. Her brows knitted together as she saw an unexpected smirk lying across his lips.

"Wanna have sex?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow as he thrust his hips up against her.

Bonnie blushed as she felt him growing between her legs. Letting a small giggle pass her lips, she rolled off him and then leaned over to kiss him hard.

"Later." She told him as he gave her a playful pout.

She shoved him lightly, "Come on!"

She hopped out of the bed.

"I'm trying to, but you won't let me ha—"

Bonnie chucked a pillow at his face, blushing furiously at his innuendo, "Stop!"

Damon's sultry chuckle rattle in her eardrums as he stood from the bed and walked into his bathroom. He shot a look back to her over his shoulder and held out his hand.

"Well we have to shower, don't we?" he gestured down his body, tinted red and brown like it was a second skin.

But Bonnie's eyes landed on something else very distracting. Damon caught her dazed stare and smirked harder.

"Quickie?" Bonnie asked bashfully.

Damon smiled wickedly and nodded toward the bathroom, his eyes never leaving her body. Bonnie's smile grew across her lips involuntarily, and she bit her bottom lip as she skipped cutely passed Damon and grabbed his wrist for him to follow. Without a single bit of hesitation, he followed her into his steaming shower and wrapped her around him. Bonnie attacked his mouth with her own as he began to thrust into her, letting the water wash them of the past night's sins while they unabashedly bathed in impish activities.
