[A month later]

"I wonder who it is?" Jasper said, as they sat out at one of the picnic tables in the courtyard at school. So far, ten girls had been assaulted, not including Bella. The police were no closer to figuring out who was doing it. The increased patrols were not deterring whoever it was, and the Dean, Carol Lockwood, was thinking about shutting down the campus, but security convinced her to implement a curfew. No parties, and that was the hardest one. If you were out past curfew, you better be off campus.

Bella sighed, taking a bite of her taco. "I wish they would find whoever it is." Last month, she practically jumped Professor Saltzman, and so far, they have been ignoring what happened between them. They never spoke about it, but they didn't make a lot of eye contact either.

Emmett was acting normal, so it was safe to say that he wasn't completely scared by his sister's nudity in front of him that fateful night.

"Hmm. Well, the curfews might help." Jasper said finally. "When you were assaulted that night…" he began.

"Jazz…"

"You weren't…he didn't…do to you want he did to the other girls…right?" Jasper was worried about this. "I'm your best friend, you can tell me. I won't tell the others, I promise."

Bella sighed. "Yes. He did."

Jasper shook his head, setting down his food. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because already, too many look at me with pity. I didn't want my family looking at me like that too." She said. "I'm okay. I've gotten over it. I don't think about that part anymore."

"Bella…"

"That's why I didn't say anything, because of the way you're looking at me now. Stop. I'm an adult woman, that is healthy, and handling all this really well. I don't break down; I'm not paralyzed with fear." She explained. "Are you going to that thing tonight?"

"What thing?"

"The thing Caroline is doing at the hotel. It's Friday, and because of curfew, she's doing the event at the hotel, so we aren't restricted." Bella explained.

Jasper blinked a few times. "Oh, the fundraiser thing."

"Yeah."

"I don't know. What is event?"

"The twenty questions, speed dating thing." Bella took a drink of her soda.

Jasper sighed. "Are you going?"

"Yeah, I've been wrangled into it. The fundraiser is for the Orphanage…so."

Jasper nodded, understanding. That was a big deal to all of them. They were all adopted by Carlisle and Esme, so they had a softer spot, for children who were homeless, or parentless. "Yeah, I'll be there."

[Later that night]

Bella got to the hotel, with an Uber, and she already called ahead and reserved a room. She walked into the lobby and she immediately saw Damon. "Detective," Bella said, walking over. She was wearing a nice dress, deep navy, that was strapless, and hugged at her hips, and then hugged around mid-thigh.

Damon looked over at her, and his eyes swept over her. "Bella, you look fantastic."

"Thank you. I didn't know you were coming to this."

"Ah, yes. Police presence tonight is important. There's no curfew here, but a bunch of students will be staying here tonight, and while I want to trust, that he wouldn't be idiotic enough to try something, I wanted to be here, just in case, he wanted to try and make a move tonight." Damon explained.

"Is Klaus here?"

"Yes, he's already inside." Damon motioned. "How have you been. I know Klaus has handled your case more than I have, as far as face-to-face questioning with you, but I've been working it still."

"Oh, I'm fine. I've moved past it." Bella said. "I've accepted it happened, but I'm not going to let it cripple me." She offered a smile.

"Good," Damon said, and then heard his number called. "Ah, I am actually part of this thing. Wish me luck," he said with a smile and walked off inside the main ballroom.

Bella checked in, got her number, and proceeded inside to take a look at the ballroom, that Caroline, and Alice, had out done themselves. The rules were explained, and then the event began. She sat at the table she was instructed, and then numbers were called, and then they were given a direction to go to which table, that had a lady sitting at it. Bella was looking at her phone when someone sat down in front of her. She looked up and then laughed a little. "Damon. Fancy meeting you here."

Damon smiled. "Well, we have twenty questions."

"Hmm. We do. Favorite color?"

"Blue, yours?"

"Also blue," she said with a grin, and then checked the paper. "Favorite food?"

Damon thought about it. "Hmm. Spaghetti, yours?"

She laughed. "Tacos."

"Favorite car?" Damon asked, looking down at the paper.

"Uh, 1969 Chevy Impala." Bella answered without too much hesitation.

Damon arched a brow. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I own a '69 Impala." Damon said with a half laugh.

"No way. Is that your favorite car?"

Damon nodded, smiling. "It is. That's really weird." He realized.

"It is," she said, smiling, and looked at the paper. "Favorite place to visit?"

"Hawaii." He said instantly.

"How come?"

Damon smiled. "I actually like to surf there. I've been there a few times, from when I was in the Navy."

Bella made a hmm sound. "How long were you in the Navy?"

"That's not one of the questions." He said with a smile. "Four years. I did my time and split."

Bella smiled. "I like the Rockies. I remember going there once for a family vacation with my parents."

Damon nodded. "Second favorite of mine." He said and looked over the paper. "Favorite music?"

"Uh, I have to go with piano ballads." Bella said.

"Really? That's weird."

"How is that weird?" She scoffed at him with a smile.

Damon smirked. "Because that isn't a thing. Rock n' Roll is where it's at."

Bella laughed, shaking her head and looked at her paper. "Favorite movie?"

"Interview with a Vampire." Damon said instantly. "What? Brad Pitt is gorgeous." He said, batting his eyelashes. This made Bella laugh. "So, what about you?"

"Do I love Brad Pitt?"

"No, favorite movie?"

Bella laughed again. "Hmm. Where the Red Fern Grows."

"Interesting choice." Damon said, all professional like, and looked at the paper. "What's your ideal date spot?" He raised a brow at the question.

"Caroline wrote these." Bella said with a smile. "I haven't really been on a date, so I'm not sure."

"You've never been on a date?"

"Never." Bella shook her head. "What's your ideal spot?"

Damon smiled. "I like Ferris wheels."

"Oooh. Heights. I actually like heights." Bella said. "I want to go skydiving."

"Well, that answers my next question," He joked.

Caroline picked up the microphone. "That's time, already, get ready to swap tables!"

Damon smiled. "This was actually pretty interesting. Thanks for playing." He said with a wink and stood.

The rest of the night was like that. Just a drone, of lighthearted questions, which got some laughs, and Bella really enjoyed herself.

At the end, they raised ten thousand dollars for the Orphanage, and that was all that mattered.

Bella got on the elevator and then Damon got on with her. It was late, and Bella had made sure that everything was cleaned up with Caroline before she decided to head up to her room. She smiled at Damon. "So, find a match made in heaven tonight?"

"Perhaps. Got a few numbers." He held up a piece of note paper, with literally three numbers scribbled down.

Bella laughed, smacking his arm. "You playboy."

Damon grinned. "Never said I would take any of them up on offers. Although, it would be fun. I'm a professional." He said with a wink.

Bella smiled, and then studied him a moment, before she suddenly moved towards him, her mouth connecting with his, and he kissed her back. She felt his gun press against her, from his holster, but she shifted, pressed against him, as he pinned her in the elevator to the wall, his mouth covering hers hungrily. The elevator dinged, he pulled away, the doors opening to her floor.

She smiled, stepping off the elevator with him following her. She moved to her room, opening the door, and then she grabbed his tie, and pulled him into her room, shutting the door.

"Unzip me." She commanded, and Damon moved, his fingers gripping the zipper easily, and zipped it down, and she stepped out of it, her black strapless bra was lace, and her panties matched.

"You are exquisite." He murmured.

"Hmm. Thank you. Are you still on duty?"

"I'm supposed to be." Damon admitted.

Bella nodded. "How long do you have before they realize you're missing?"

"Not very long. Bella, I probably shouldn't even be like this with you. I'm a Detective, and you're a case."

"Am I?" Bella arched a brow. She didn't know why she was so bold lately, she felt so anew with some sort of…energy. She was taking control of her life. She reached behind her, unhooking her bra, and letting it fall to the floor. She was bare before him.

Damon swallowed. His eyes dilating at the sight of her. He moved towards her, shrugging his jacket off, and then took off his shoulder holster for his gun and lay it on the table. He unbuttoned his shirt quickly, as he walked towards her.

Bella smiled, climbing on to the bed, kneeling as Damon walked over to her. She slid his shirt off, her hands moving over the toned muscles of his chest, his abs. He undid his buckle on his pants, and gazed into his eyes as she did it. He watched her, letting her take the control, something he didn't do often, but for her, he was.

Her mouth connected with his again, her hands shoving his pants down and he stepped out of them, climbing into bed with her his arms around her waist, as he moved to her. His hands traveled over her body, feeling her pleasured quivers under his touch. When they were naked, the heat radiated between them, her moist cavern was ready for him. His fingers toyed with her, getting gasps of pleasure from her. She arched against him, feeling the need to be closer. He paused reaching over the side of the bed to his pants, pulling the condom out, and rolling it on quickly.

"Damon!" She gasped, moaning in pleasure as he moved inside her. He started slow, but as the passion built, he thrust harder, faster, her moans dripping from her lips like raw honey. She clenched around his throbbing cock as he pushed her towards the outer limits. Her climax just a leap away. His mouth went to her throat, and he kissed her there, sucking lightly, as he thrust into her in deep strokes, ready to explode himself, but he held off, waiting for her cry of pleasure.

Her hands raked down his back, the bite of her nails hitting his nerves, sending waves of pleasure over him, which made him push into her hard, and that was the push she needed, so sail over the edge. She moaned loudly, her body vibrating under him as her orgasm shook her. In a few more strokes he was rising with her, moving into her deep as he spilled over himself, the thin rubber between them, catching all of his essence as he released. He groaned, his mouth going to hers, kissing her deeply, as his cock calmed down.

He moved from her, standing and rolling the condom off. He dumped it in the trash can after inspecting it, and then looked at her, still a little winded. "You…are incredible."

Bella smiled up at him, rolling onto her stomach on the bed, and glancing up at him. "Well, that…was really fun."

Damon smiled, and then leaned down, kissing her softly. "I want to ditch work so bad."

"Hmm. Why don't you?"

"Because I'm an officer of the law," he said with a chuckle. "I have to make sure things are safe." He murmured. "Then I have to head into the station."

Bella rolled back over to her back, and Damon's instinct was to reach down and just touch her, but he stopped himself. "Okay. Go protect the city. It was fun tonight."

Damon smiled. "Get rest." He leaned down and kissed her again, her tongue leaped against his, and he moaned a little. "Mmm. I'll see you around." He said with a wink, and got dressed, strapping his side arm back on. He smiled back at her one last time before leaving her room, to go back downstairs.

Down in the lobby there were still some people mingling, talking, which wasn't abnormal. Damon found Klaus, walking over.

Klaus glanced up at him, taking in his appearance. "Your zipper."

"Ah. Thank you." Damon said fixed that.

"Hmm. Found a match tonight?" Klaus grinned, his arms were crossed.

"Not exactly." Damon said and cleared his throat when the hotel manager walked over. "How is the security in this hotel?"

The manager nodded. "Top notch," he looked between the two detectives. "You have police presence here tonight for a reason?"

"Yes. The event is from Whitmore University, and there have been a string of assaults on campus, we're just here as a precaution." Klaus explained.

The manager nodded. "Well, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out." He said with a nod and then walked over to someone else, and struck up conversation.

Damon blew out a breath, trying to gather his focus after what just happened.

"Hmm. She was that good, huh?" Klaus teased.

"Yes. Very much so." Damon smirked a little.

Klaus smiled at his partner, his friend. "Hmm. It was the blond from the twenty questions, wasn't it?"

"It was not, but Mercy was really nice." Damon said, and looked at his watch.

"Oh, hmm…" Klaus was trying to think of all the possibilities.

Upstairs, Bella showered in the hotel shower, loving how the water pressure was better than that in the dorm. She got out, pulling her robe on and then there was a knock on her door. She tied her robe and opened the door. "Oh, hey Em."

"So, I struck out tonight, and I didn't rent a room."

Bella laughed, and let Emmett come into the room. She shut the door. "I don't know why you didn't just rent your own room."

Emmett went over and flopped down to the bed. "These beds are nice. Why aren't the beds in the dorm this comfy?"

"Right?" Bella said, smiling, she came over and sat on the other side of the bed. "Someone should tell the Dean that all the dorms need new beds."

Emmett laughed. "Right." He smiled over at his sister. He realized that she was wearing a bathrobe and her hair was wet, so she just got out of the shower. "It's okay if I sleep in here, right?"

"Of course." She said and lay back on the bed. She was really tired. "I'm about to pass out anyways. Just don't drink all the mini-bar liquor." She warned.

Emmett laughed. "Yeah, I'm not drinking when I'm around you." He joked.

Bella raised a brow, rolling on her side to look at him. "Don't trust your drunk self?"

Emmett looked at her, her robe was loose in the front. "No, I mean…" He looked at her seriously now. "You know…from that night. I don't want it to be weird."

"It's only weird if you make it weird." Bella pointed out. "You're the one acting weird."

"You're right. I told you it's been forgotten. I honestly don't think about it really."

Bella nodded. "I don't either, not unless you bring it up." She teased.

Emmett smiled. "Yeah, I won't bring it up then. Get rest Bells."

"You too." Bella murmured. They stared at each other for a while, and then she moved closer to him, and he stilled, his eyes not leaving hers as she brushed against him.

"Bella…" He murmured. "This is wrong…"

Bella nodded and then tilted her face up to his, her lips connecting to his. The kiss was slow, but heavy at the same time. So sensual.

Emmett's brain started misfiring again, and his hands went to her waist, and she moved against him, getting him on his back, straddling him. "We should stop…" he breathed.

"We can stop." Bella said with nod. Something was seriously wrong with her. She leaned down, kissing him, and she undid her robe, pushing it down off her shoulders, so she was bare. She felt his growing reaction in his pants to her, and she twirled her hips to him, and he groaned.

"Jesus…Bella…" he sucked in a breath when she leaned up, letting the robe fall away.

Bella leaned down, kissing him again, and he kissed her back.

Emmett moved with her then, pinning her to the mattress, his hand going between them and his hands played with her swollen, wet clit. Bella moaned as he played with her, her body arching to his.

"Please…" she gasped out.

"Bella…if we do this…"

Bella looked up into his sterling blue eyes. "Emmett…"

"I don't think I can do this more than once. It'll be too much for me to handle…" his voice wavered a little.

Bella nodded. "Do you want to stop?"

"God no." Emmett let out a shaky breath. "No one can find out Bella, we shouldn't be together like this."

"I know." Bella said, closing her eyes. "Okay. We can stop. We're crossing a lot of lines."

Emmett closed his eyes, taking a breath, and leaning up. He looked down at her. "You…are gloriously beautiful. I don't know why I am seeing you this way now, but Bella…"

Bella sat up, looking at him. "I understand."

"I don't understand. You're my…sister."

"I know, we grew up as siblings." Bella said with a nod. "It makes it weird."

"A little." Emmett said, and then rubbed his hands over his face. "I'm going to go. If I do actually stay, I'm not going to stop myself again." He said, getting out of the bed.

Bella knew it was for the best. "Love you Em."

"Love you too Bells." Emmett said, and then he left.

Bella sighed, frustrated with herself. She didn't know why she had this sexual hunger; she just did. She lay there, staring at the ceiling. She needed to stop thinking so much. The knock on the door was a surprise, and so she pulled her robe back on and went to it, answering.

Klaus was in the hallway. "Ah, you are indecent, I will come back later."

Bella reached out, and grabbed his tie, and hauled him forward, her lips connecting with his. He was shocked initially, but then he kissed her back. "Close the door." She ordered, and Klaus obeyed.

"Bella, what- "

Bella let the robe fall away, so she was completely naked in front of Klaus now.

"Oh, uh…I…" Klaus wasn't sure what to do or say, but he couldn't stop looking at her. She was so beautiful and perfect.

"One question."

"What?"

"Are you going to say no?"

Klaus blinked a few times. "No to what?"

"Have sex with me." She murmured.

"It would not be appropriate for me to do that," Klaus said, swallowing. "I'm the lead Detective on your case Bella, and I'm a government official."

Bella nodded. "And? I'm not beautiful enough…" She frowned, and picked up her robe.

"Oh god, no, love. You are extraordinarily beautiful." Klaus said and walked towards her. "I just, don't want you to…uh, put yourself in a situation where you're going to regret it later, and-"

"I don't have regrets Klaus. If you don't…if you don't want to sleep with me, I apologize. I'm extremely horny right now, and I just got turned down and- "

Klaus frowned. "Someone was in this room a few moments ago?"

"Yeah, and…he decided half-way through that…it wasn't a good idea, and left, so I'm just…frustrated. I'm sorry. I basically jumped you." Bella slipped her robe back on, tying it. She felt like an idiot.

Klaus swallowed. "Well, he's an idiot, and I'm sorry that he…did that."

"It's okay. I should just take another shower, a cold one at that. You came to check on me?" Bella tried to change the subject now.

"Yes. I was making rounds." Klaus said, and cleared his throat a little. His heart stammered in his chest, and he would be lying if he wasn't turned on right now, but he was trying to remain professional.

"Well, I am okay. I'm going to shower again, and go to bed. Then back to the campus in the morning." She said, and walked over to the bed, and the nightstand, and picked up her phone to look at the time.

Klaus nodded. "Okay, good. Then, I will, let you be, and I'll see you later." He said and then left the room. He closed the door behind him, and sighed, resting his head on the door. That took a lot of control just now to just walk away. He left back to the elevator, and went down to the lobby. He ran into Damon. "Oh, want to get a drink?" He needed one after what almost happened.

Damon looked at his phone. "Not quite yet. I'm going to stick around a little longer, make sure the stragglers make it up to their rooms okay. Go ahead, I got this."

Klaus nodded, blowing out a breath. "Okay, mate. I'll see you tomorrow." He said and slapped Damon's shoulder lightly and left the hotel.

Damon sighed, closing his eyes. He hated lying to his partner, and his best friend at that. He went to the elevator and got on it and took it to the fourth floor, and got off. He went to 402 and knocked.

Bella answered, and smiled at him. He walked into the room, shutting the door behind him. "Off duty?"

"Technically." Damon said with a smile.

"Hmm. Good." Bella said and shrugged her robe off for the third time tonight, and hoped that Damon wouldn't turn her away.

Damon's eyes latched on to hers. "You're going to get me in trouble." He said, and took his jacket off, his holster, and belt. "I can't stay the night."

"I know." Bella smirked and stepped towards him. She leaned up, taking his mouth with her own. He kissed her back, and he let her unbutton his shirt and untuck it. "Do to me, what you want…" she murmured against his mouth.

Damon raised a brow. "You are very naughty right now." He smiled and then hoisted her up, his hands gripping her butt firmly, before he pushed her against the wall, his mouth kissing at her throat, and then her collarbone. Her moans filled his ears, and that drove him farther. His pants came off, and he was naked with her now. He moved with her to the bed, throwing her gently on the bed, and she giggled, and arched up slightly, her legs widening for him. His mouth caught hers, kissing her, drinking her in, before he moved his mouth to her wet, swollen clit. Her gasp was a pleasured one, as his tongue flicked over her center, her hips moving to meet his mouth, over and over again. She felt her orgasm make its appearance finally, and when she started he hooked two fingers inside and thrust them in at the same time his tongue circled over her heated core, and she exploded, orgasming hard, moaning out loudly. She twisted her hands in the sheets as she emptied herself. Damon leaned up, smirking and he moved her to hands and knees. He didn't have a condom for this round, and he kicked himself for that, but he was confident in his abilities. He entered her, and her wet cave sucked him in and he groaned, the sensation rolling over him. This was the first time he had ever been with a woman without a shield, and he had to stop, his muscles quivering. She was tight around him, and he was trying to collect himself, and his control.

Once he was sure his control was in check, he moved his hips, thrusting into her in deep strokes, and she moaned, his tip hitting her soaked center, and she spilled out around him again, and that undid him. He moved faster and faster, his release close. He moaned, gripping her hips and thrusting a few times before he felt the first eruption of his orgasm starting, and he was too late. He erupted, and it surprised him how amazing it felt, and he pushed his hips all the way in sheathing himself in her.

Bella moaned out loudly, as she felt him pulsing inside her. They were both breathless at the end. After a moment of collection himself, he pulled out of her and she rolled to her back, looking up at him, her eyes glazed over from pleasure.

"You are beautiful." Damon said, leaning down and kissing her. "I uh…" he looked down at her, his hands going to her hips as he pulled her into his arms, laying on the bed.

"I'm on birth control. I started taking it soon after…that one day." Bella mentioned.

Damon blew out a breath. "Okay, I still…should have- "

"Don't be sorry. I'm not." Bella murmured, and then leaned up and kissed him, her hair falling forward, falling like a curtain.

"Mmm. If I keep laying here, I'm not going to be able to get up."

"Why do you have to leave?" Bella asked softly.

Damon sighed. "Because if I leave the hotel in the morning, and I run into any of my colleagues, I'm wearing the same clothes."

"Oh. Hmm. I get that." Bella kissed him again. "Well, thank you for humoring me, and bringing me on such a wonderful ride."

Damon laughed. "You're welcome?" He kissed her again. "Hmm. I wish I could stay." He was fully relaxed.

"Well, I wouldn't want you to get in trouble." Bella said, sitting all the way up now.

Damon looked up at her. "Yeah…" he sat up, kissing her again, and then her got out of bed. Bella smiled, watching him dress. It was a wonderful view she admitted. "What?" He said as he pulled his pants on.

"Oh nothing. You're hot," She shrugged.

Damon smirked. "Thank you," he said and then he finished getting his clothes on, before strapping his sidearm again. "Stay out of trouble." He said, winking at her, before he left her hotel room.

Bella sighed, getting up and going to the bathroom before getting back into bed. She decided since she was in here by herself, she would sleep naked. She had never done that before, and she felt a little more free. She closed her eyes after looked at the clock and it read 2AM.

[4 Hours later]

Bella's eyes fluttered open, looking around. She felt groggy, probably from lack of sleep.

"You're awake." The voice said, and it startled her. The voice was being altered and the figure sat in the corner, a mask was pulled over his face, and she couldn't see anything.

"W-what…how?" She moved her arms and legs, but found that they were bound.

"Oh, this is going to be fun." The man stood then. "Scream, and I will kill you."

Bella swallowed. "Please don't do this. What is it you want from me?"

"Everything. You are…so beautiful."

Tears started forming in her eyes. "What are you going to do to me?"

"Everything." He repeated, and then he moved towards her, taking a towel and put it over her mouth, and she felt the dizziness wash over her, and then she was passed out.

Once she was out, he took his pants off, stroking himself as he looked over her. "Bella…" he murmured, and then climbed into bed with her.

[10 AM]

Bella woke with a start, her memory was foggy, but her arms and legs weren't bound anymore. She rubbed her wrist, the clear line around them where she had been tied up. "Not a dream." She murmured and looked around the room. There were condom wrappers littered next to the floor, and she felt bile rise in her throat. She scrambled out of bed and hurled into the toilet. She didn't feel particularly sore, so he hadn't assaulted her roughly. She wiped at her face, with shaky hands. Why was this happening to her?

She turned on the shower, and got in, letting the hot water scald her skin to where she could bear it, and stayed in there until it started running cold. She got out, and pulled on clothes. She had to get out of this room. She had to get away. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't call and report this because she was with Damon, and she knew that evidence would be in the room, and she didn't want that for him. She gathered her things, and decided to through away the wrappers in the trash, and she tied the bag up and then she left, going down to the lobby on the elevator and checked out. She ordered an Uber to get back to the campus.

[Whitmore University]

Once back on campus, she made it back to her dorms before her sister, and friends, which wasn't surprising. She threw her clothes from the night before in the hamper to be cleaned. She ran her hands through her damp hair, and she tried to focus. She wasn't hurt, or bleeding. The only thing he did was tie her down and knock her out. He had the decency to use protection, which she was thankful for. Her phone dinged and she looked at it.

[Elena:] Oh my god. I can't wait to tell you guys what happened to me!

Bella sighed, sending a quick text back.

[Bella:] Can't wait to hear.; )

She grabbed her bag from her desk, and slipped her shoes on. She was going to the coffee shop on campus to get coffee, and just try to do normal things so that she wouldn't think about what had happened.

When she got to the coffee shop, Jasper was walking up. "Oh, you needed coffee too huh?" He said with a smile.

"Yeah, also food." Bella said, smiling back.

"I just got onto campus myself. I was at the hotel. I checked out late." Jasper explained.

"Have fun?" Bella asked, as they walked inside.

Jasper shrugged. "It was okay. The speed dating isn't my thing. You know that."

Bella smiled. "Em struck out."

"Yeah, I heard. He crashed on the pull out in my room. He never prepares for anything." Jasper said with a little chuckle. "Edward disappeared most of the night. I'm assuming he got laid."

"Ew." Bella said, wrinkling her nose.

Jasper scoffed. "You have three brothers."

"I know." She said and got to the counter, and gave her order and paid, for her and Jasper's.

Elena bustled into the coffee shop, all excited. "Oh my god."

Bella looked at Elena. "Oh, I figured you were still at the hotel."

"I just left there, after having the most amazing night."

Jasper got his coffee and laughed. "That's my cue to leave. Later ladies." He said and left the coffee shop.

Bella grabbed her coffee and bagel, and Elena followed her out of the coffee shop. "So, this magical night. Tell me."

"Okay, so do you remember Stefan Salvatore?"

"Yeah. He's Detective Salvatore's little brother, right?"

"Yes. So, we spent the night in the hotel," Elena was bubbling over with excitement.

Bella raised a brow. "Oh, okay. So, I'm assuming you had mind blowing sex."

"I did. It was wonderful." Elena said, with a pleasant sigh. "You look like you might have had wonderful night too." She said, nodding to the small love bites at Bella's throat, that she missed.

"I uh, might have." Bella blushed. "I don't kiss and tell though. So," she sipped her coffee.

"Uh oh, did you lose your virginity," Elena said with a small gasp.

Bella nearly spit her coffee out. "I'm not a virgin!" She said, her voice hushed.

"Mhm. Well, either way, it was an amazing night. Aly didn't do too bad either. I heard her on the other side of the wall. Our rooms were next to each other."

Bella raised a brow. "Alice got laid? That's surprising."

"I wonder if Care got her hooks stuck in someone. She was talking with Detective Salvatore a lot, last night." Elena commented.

"Hmm. He's a Detective."

"So? He's sexy as hell. Do you have eyes?" Elena asked, raising a brow.

Bella smiled, and lifted her coffee to her lips and then she glanced up to see Damon walking towards the coffee shop. She nearly spit out her coffee.

Elena looked up and then giggled. "It's like he just knew."

Damon raised a brow at Bella, who looked like she was having a stroke. "Ladies?"

"Hello Detective." Elena said, smiling up at him.

"Hmm. You are…Elena?" Damon guessed. He was really good with names, so he was only playing like he was guessing.

"That is me." Elena said and looked at Bella. "You know Bella?"

Damon looked at Bella. "I do." He said with a nod.

It didn't take long for Klaus, to join. "I swear the security here is- "he cut off when he came to a stop beside Damon, who was standing in front of Bella, and the roommate, Elena, he recalled. The memory of Bella being naked before him the night before was seared into his mind, and it made his heart stutter. He was an idiot. He walked away from a very beautiful woman. If this was a few years ago, he might have done it. But he was trying to actually listen to his brother more.

Bella looked at Klaus and smiled, blushing slightly. "Uh, so I'm going to eat my bagel, in peace, Elena. I don't want to hear anymore about sex for the rest of the day."

Klaus nearly choked, and Damon cleared his throat. "Well, we've got a meet with the Dean, remember curfew." Damon relayed, and then left the two girls to go inside the coffee shop to get coffee. "Are you okay?" Damon asked Klaus.

Klaus looked at Damon. "I'm fine."

"Mhm. You were staring at Bella awful hard." Damon was a detective for a reason.

Klaus sighed. "If I tell you something, it stays between us as partners. No need to tell the Chief."

Damon ordered coffee for him and Klaus and then turned and looked at him. "Okay. Did you do something bad?"

"I mean. Define bad?"

Damon sighed. "Does it involve Bella?" His mind was going to so many places right now, knowing what he had done, not once but twice, with Bella, was going to weigh on him.

Klaus blew out a breath. "Yes. She kissed me."

"Hmm. And you think that's bad?"

"Well, she was completely naked." Klaus murmured. "Dear lord, I can't get her out of my head. Last night I just…I went up to check on her and then I don't know what happened." He grabbed his coffee and shook his head, looking at Damon. "She propositioned me, and I…turned her down." His brows furrowed together. "I honestly think maybe I would have, if she hadn't mentioned the other guy." He said lifting his cup to his lips.

Damon was quiet, holding his coffee. It confused him, yet intrigued him. Why was she acting out this way? He knew that some victims could lose sight of things.

"So, yeah. I don't think she's okay." Klaus said and took a longer drink of his coffee.

"You might be right…" Damon murmured, thinking about what happened last night, and how relaxed she was with him. "Something does seem to be wrong…"

They walked out of the coffee shop. "What are you thinking about, mate?"

"Just…her." Damon said and sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I knew something was off…" he muttered.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing. Let's go meet the Dean." He said, and walked off towards the registrar building, where the Dean's office was located.

Bella went to the library. It was her quiet spot. She could read, and have some peace of quiet. She was sitting there reading for some time, before she looked up at her brother, Edward. "Oh, hey. It's been a while since I've seen your face." She smiled.

Edward smiled at her. "You know. Been busy."

"I see that. How's classes going?"

He shrugged. "You know, fine. Not challenging. How about you? How have you been?"

"Well, classes are great. I'm great. So," She smiled, and closed her book, looking at her watch. "Curfew. We should get going."

Edward nodded. "I'll walk you back."

Bella smiled. "Thanks." She said and they fell into step together.

"Do you think they'll ever find the guy?" Edward asked.

"I'm not sure. I hope so. That way we can all stop feeling terrorized." Bella shivered.

Edward looked at his sister. "It's going to be okay."

Bella nodded and sighed. They got to her dorm, and he watched her go in, before heading back to the frat house. He stopped, taking his phone out of his pocket and looking at it. He opened his gallery. Studying a picture, that he had come to love so much. He smiled to himself, before putting his phone back in his pocket and continued to the frat house.
