Elena woke up at the sound of a loud bang. She sat up quickly in her bed and listened closely to hear the noise. It had stopped. She listened for a little longer to be sure of it then lay back down to drift off to sleep again. As soon as she lay down and shut her eyes she heard it again. She sat up again this time getting out of the bed and calling in one of the maids to find out where it was coming from. When the maid had rushed downstairs she found someone knocking at the door. The large heavy wooden door dragged open at the sight of a tall, buff, dark haired man standing there, smirking.
"How may I help you?" Mary, one of Elena's finest maids, questioned.
"Damon Salvatore, Grayson Gilbert's residential guest." The man replied keeping the smirk permanently on his face.
"Oh yes the new co-worker, Mr. Gilbert just so happens to be out working on your new campaign, I will see if Mrs. Gilbert is home to welcome you, please, come in" Mary gestured her hand in a way to lead him inside.
Damon was astounded by the rather large house, the marble floor, the perfect sculpted walls, the family portraits that lay upon them, but the thing that stood out the most was the enormous marble staircase in the centre of the room, more like the beautiful brown haired girl making her way down the left set of stairs fixing zipper on her dress. She was stunning, long dark brown hair, big brown eyes, lips shaped as perfect as you could imagine, every feature glowing in pure flawlessness and perfection.
"Mary have you seen my coa- um, good morning sir, is there something I can help you with?" Elena interrupted herself as she spotted the handsome man, dressed in navy jeans, a white t-shirt and leather jacket to top it off, staring up at her from the bottom of the staircase.
"Damon Salvatore, Grayson Gilbert's new business partner." He replied taking her hand and placing a gentle kiss on it. "I'm sorry, are you Miranda? Grayson's wife?"
"Salvatore? Must be a common name. No, I'm um, his daughter, Elena Gilbert, pleasure to meet you Mr. Salvatore." She continued keeping her eyes fixed on his.
"The pleasures all mine, Elena." He kept a large, seductive smirk on his face. He was beautiful, the most beautiful, perfect man she had ever seen in her 18 years of life. He took her breath away as she did to him.
"Miss Gilbert, how about you show Mr. Salvatore to his room?" Mary interrupted.
Elena was suddenly brought back to earth after fixating a fantasy love life of her and the beautiful man standing in front of her. "Uh, yes, yes right this way, Mr. Salvatore." She replied quickly, turning and walking toward the main corridor. Damon without even thinking followed after her.
"So how old are you Elena?" Damon asked making conversation as they strolled through the halls.
"I just turned 18 a couple of months ago, and you, Damon? The only thing i am almost 100 percent sure of for that answer is double digits." she smirked as she cut him off.
"Try triple" he mocked. "Have you lived here your whole life?"
"Ever since I was born, yes" she reluctantly answered. Elena didn't like talking about her life here, it was very restrictive, there were always a lot of rules on they way she had to dress, act, where she could go and who she could be seen out with. It was very controlling and Elena didn't like other people telling her what to do, the main reason for her rebellion against the family name.
"The house is amazing, huge, not really my type of thing though." He responded.
Elena stopped walking and turned to him, surprised by what he said. "Really? I mean" she cleared her throat "most visitors never want to leave, they find it compelling, making them eternally in love with this, block of land really." She started walking again, no longer facing him.
"You don't think of it that way?" he wasn't surprised, he could see right through her, she was miserable, lonely.
"I don't know what I think, really." she was trying to hold back letting out her hatred of her 'home', to her it was more of a prison.
"Now we both know that's not true, you don't want to live here." He knew exactly what to say in this situation. He knew how to handle this, to get her talking.
"I don't know what I want." She quickly replied.
"You want what everybody wants" He bud in.
"What? A mysterious stranger who has all the answers?" She mocked.
He smiled and laughed at her remark. This was the first time she saw him genuinely smile, not a smirk, not mocking her, she saw him laugh, she saw him smile, she saw him happy.
"Well, let's just say I've been around a long time, I've learnt a few things." He continued to smile as he wound her up.
"So Damon, tell me, what is it that I want?" She teased.
"You want a love that consumes you, you want passion, an adventure, and even a little danger." He stopped walking and replied.
She was trying to get her head around the situation, realising he was still standing there she quickly replied. "So what do you want?"
He couldn't answer, for the first time in his life the only answer he could think of replying was "you" but he just met her, she wasn't ready to hear that yet. Before he could come up with a smart ass remark she cut him off. "We're not talking about the house anymore, are we?" She questioned, holding his eye contact.
As he was about to reply Grayson Gilbert, Elena's father appeared coming around the corner and stopped in front of them. "Ah, you must be Damon Salvatore, I see you've met my daughter." He introduced. "Grayson Gilbert" He continued shaking Damon's hand.
"Pleasure to meet you sir, Elena here was just showing me to my room." He replied, eyes fixed on Elena.
"Yes, what a magnificent idea! It's good for the two of you to get to know each other, Damon's going to be here for a long time you know Elena." He turned to face her, smiling. Before she could reply he cut her off "Why don't you continue to take him to his room and I will go freshen up, after that Damon you and I have some business to do" He turned his attention to Damon who was still staring at Elena.
Damon suddenly realised he had been staring at her and he turned away to look at Grayson. "That sounds like a plan."He smirked and watched as Grayson continued to walk down the hallway.
"Alright, come on suck up, it's this way." Elena mocked and walked around the corner and toward the large doors on the dead end of the hallway. She flung the doors opened and walked inside the large room. Damon stood still in the doorway, jaw hanging on the ground.
"The bathroom is in that door, closet in that one, but if the toilet starts to flood, like it always seems to do in this room, there is a guest one near my room which is in the left corridor at the top of the main staircase." She pointed to the doors then turned to face him.
"I will make sure my toilet floods then." He smirked seductively as he mocked her.
She laughed, she hadn't laughed in a very long time, nothing made her smile anymore, except for Damon, this man that she had just met. "Well, I have people to meet, going to the movies with my boyfriend."
He felt a little cold inside as the words "my boyfriend" rung through his head a few times before he snapped back into reality. "You have a boyfriend?" He replied.
"Yes, Stefan, why do you seem so shocked?" She questioned.
Stefan, he knew that name very well, his brothers name is Stefan, they don't keep in contact anymore. Not after her. "Not as much shocked as I am disappointed." His smirk had faded, he was being sincere and she knew it.
She stood still, held in the moment, held in his eye contact, silent for a moment before she realised what the time was. "Well, I better be off, see you around Mr. Salvatore." She added quickly before turning and heading for the door.
"Yes, see you around Miss. Gilbert, and by the way I was not sucking up to your father!" He shouted after her as she laughed and continued back down the hall toward the main staircase.
Elena was meeting Bonnie and Caroline before they met Stefan, Jeremy and Tyler at the movies. She had pulled together a cute dress tight around her bust but flew down to above her knees. It was black and white and she wore black silk heels on her feet. She finished the look with her hair curled and silver earrings. When she rushed downstairs Bonnie and Caroline were waiting for her at the door.
"Come on Elena, we're going to be late!" Bonnie shouted up at her. "Yeah hurry up babe!" Caroline continued.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, calm down guys." Elena stumbled out while she ran to the door and they hopped in the car.
"What got you so held up Elena?" Bonnie questioned.
"What or who?" Caroline teased.
"Caroline" Elena snapped, "I have a boyfriend, you know that, we're going to meet him right now if you have forgotten"
"I know I know, the old boyfriend guilt trip." Caroline continued to tease her.
"Anyway, Caroline, so what were you doing?" Bonnie interrupted, ruining Caroline's fun.
"I was showing my Dad's new business partner to his room." Caroline opened her mouth to say something but Elena cut her off "No, Caroline, to his room not in his room."
"A he hey? So, is he hot?" Bonnie joined in the fun.
"Bonnie!" Elena screeched.
"Hey I'm just asking, there is nothing wrong with a little eye candy, come on Elena it's not like we are going to go tell Stefan if you were checking out your Dad's business partner." Bonnie defended.
Elena rolled her eyes "Fine... Yes, he was extremely hot, most attractive guy I have ever seen." She squealed.
"I'm picturing blonde, with dark streaks?" Caroline bud in, focused on driving.
"Actually, he had dark black hair and beautiful blue eyes that could hold your gaze forever, his complexion was well built, muscular, clear that he works out, his jawline was perfect, it lead a path of heaven leading to his flawlessly shaped lips." Elena fantasised while describing the new guest.
"Oh wow, nice ass too?" Bonnie and Caroline were in a daze of the picture of this mysterious stranger that they had made in their minds.
"It looked like if I touched it my hand would melt, that is how hot it was." Elena continued to smirk.
"Damn girl, why don't you just break up with Stefan now?" Caroline teased.
"What do you mean?" Elena was surprised by her assumption.
"I mean, look at you, you're describing this perfect human being to us and your face right now is as easy to read as a children's book." Caroline explained.
"What? No, I just, he's just good looking, ok, I love Stefan, It's always going to be Stefan." She defended herself, ending the conversation.
"Whatever you say Elena, we're here, try not to talk about dream boy around the boyfriend, ok?" Caroline mocked.
Elena laughed "I'll try my hardest, just for you." She smirked.
"Hurry up, we don't have all day" Bonnie rushed.
It was late, past midnight, Elena snuck home through the window in the hallway next to her bedroom, if her parents discovered her she knew that she would be grounded, for life. They were strict about her sticking to her curfew. She never did. After the movies they all went back to Stefan's for some drinks and lost track of time.
The window creaked as Elena slid it open, she had carried the ladder she hid in the bushes and placed it on the wall next to the window. She climbed through the window left leg then right leg and landed softly on the ground. She slid the ladder over out of sight, she would ask Mary to re-hide it early in the morning. Elena shut the window carefully, without making a sound and turned around. She gasped, holding her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming. A shirtless Damon was standing there in front of her. His body was perfect, every single muscle defined, his abs like waves in the ocean, Elena started to drool before Damon interrupted her.
"Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your sneaking in, or scare you." He whispered and mocked with a large smirk on his face.
She hit his bare chest and pushed him playfully, trying to catch her breath. "What are you doing here, shouldn't you be asleep, dick." She teased.
"Dick? Ouch, cuts like a knife. Honey I've been called worse." He mocked. " And I'm here because as you predicted, the toilet flooded, and no I didn't do it on purpose." He waved his hands up to show his innocence.
"Mmhm, sure you didn't, you loose your shirt in the process too?" She continued playfully.
"That was just a bonus for you, running into me here." He flirted.
"So you knew you would see me so you took off your shirt?" She teased.
"Well, I was hoping, why are you home so late anyway?" He seemed worried, you could hear it in his voice.
She giggled seductively "After the movie we went back to Stefan's for some drinks..." He cut her off "You're drunk."
"A little" She giggled.
"That's it come here, I'm helping you into bed" He walked closer to her, one arm on her back and the other on the back of her thigh, picking her up, her arm immediately sliding around his chest and over his shoulder, her head buried in his bare chest. He walked toward her bedroom door, the only other door in the hallway apart from the bathroom.
He opened her door, walked inside and headed toward the bed. He couldn't believe the size of her room, he thought his was big but hers could probably eat is for breakfast. He reached the bed and pulled back the silk blanket and cotton sheets, he placed her carefully on the bed, head resting on the pillow, then pulled the sheets back over her and tucked her in. Looking down at her he smiled, at the sight of her this peaceful, this innocent, at the sight of her in general. He ran his finger down her cheek, stroking it. He smiled again before turning to walk away. When he started to turn she grabbed his wrist, stopping him.
"I need some water, can you please get me a glass of water?" She asked barely awake.
He nodded his head in conformation and took the glass from the table beside her bed and left the room to go fill it up in the bathroom. When he returned to her room she was no longer in her bed, she had gone to the closet and changed into her pajamas. She was wearing pink striped short shorts and a black tank top. He stared in fascination as she walked toward him, holding his eye contact, she took the glass of water from his had and finished it, she turned, finally breaking the eye contact, heading toward her bed again and putting the glass on the table. She walked back over to him, he looked nervous.
"I should probably go, you need rest" He nervously spat out. "You've been drinking and your hangover will be worse if you don't get any slee-" He stopped talking as he felt her hand carefully hold his. They were both silent as they gazed at each other, she held his hand and pulled him toward the bed, pushing him to sit on it. She sat on his lap and in a heartbeat he gained control and kissed her neck, kissing higher and higher till her reached her mouth. The sensation ran through her body as it did his, they kissed harder and harder with more passion then ever before. He stood up still holding her, carrying her with him, he placed her on the bed this time, leaving himself on top. He had done this many times with many girls, but this was different and he wanted it to be perfect for her. He slid his hand down her stomach and held the top of her shorts before slowly peeling them off. Without hesitation Elena took off her shirt and black laced bra too while Damon removed his boxers. She ran her hand down his chest feeling every bump and every muscle. She grabbed his hand that was cupping her right breast and guided it down her complexion till it reached the inside of her knee, he knew what to do from there, he knew what she wanted, when she let go of his hand he slid it up the back of her thigh, it sent a tingling sensation through her body. Her insides aching, her need growing. His hand found its way to her opening, it traced the outside, teasing her, slowly opening her flaps and sliding in one finger to begin, she was already wet for him, he moved his finger in a perfect way to make her cringe in sensation, he slid in a second finger tickling her clit.
He removed his hand from her core and situated himself in the perfect position. He kissed the back of her thighs, leaving a trail up to her entrance, he made red marks on the outside of her flaps from his perfect lips sucking the skin, his tongue slid into the flap, forcing it's way inside, he dug himself in there tracing her clit with his tongue and digging itself into her core. He continued, going harder and faster making her orgasm louder and louder, this is the time she was thankful that she had her own wing of the house, no one would hear. She grabbed his hair and guided him, showing him how to make her scream, moving his head more and more till she couldn't take it anymore, she needed him in her, now.
She pulled his head out and up to face her, she kissed him harder and harder and slid her hand down and stroked his cock. He knew she was ready and he moved himself to slip inside her, just as he was about to she stopped him, she heard a ringing noise, a buzzing in her head, it got louder and louder till she screamed.
She sat up in her bed, out of breath, panting from the sudden awakening, she hit her alarm clock that read 7:00am, it was just a dream, she hadn't cheated on Stefan, she didn't almost have sex with Damon, but she wanted to, more then anything. He had tucked her into bed last night and she fell asleep, he came back with water and put it on her table beside her bed. She had fallen asleep and dreamt of Damon holding his body tight against hers. But it was just a dream.
Elena got dressed for school, her head buzzing, she was hungover but she couldn't let her parents know so she completed her usual routine, brushed her hair, while Mary set out her clothes on her bed, got dressed, chad breakfast sent up by one of the kitchen maids, cleaned her teeth and headed downstairs to meet Bonnie and Caroline. Mary would be waiting at the door with her school bag and books. She made her way outside as she saw Bonnie and Caroline in the car.
"Elena, wait" Damon yelled after her.
Bonnie and Caroline, with mouths wide open, stared at the gorgeous man running toward Elena.
"Damon, hi, um I have to go to school." Elena replied as he reached her.
"I know I just, I wanted to know how your feeling, you know after last night?" He asked, the worry in his voice was sincere.
Elena panicked, it was just a dream though, what was he talking about. "Last night?" She questioned, feeling more guilty then ever.
"You were drunk... I put you in bed? Did you have a good sleep?" He suspected that she was just hungover.
"Right, yes you put me in bed, thank you for the water, by the way, I had a... ok sleep, I guess you could say." She hesitantly replied, trying not to give away any hints of her inappropriate dream.
"Good, good, well you better get to school, see you tonight, try not to be drunk this time." He mocked before turning to the girls in the car staring at him, he smiled and waved to them before walking inside. Elena stood still on the porch for a moment before turning toward Bonnie and Caroline.
"Hello, earth to Elena, we have to go to school, we're going to be late, hurry up!" Bonnie shouted out to her.
"Um yes, right, school, where Stefan will be..." She mumbl
ed to herself. "Coming!" She shouted back before running to the car and jumping in.
"So that was Damon, hey? He was even hotter then you described, how you haven't jumped his bones yet I do not know." Caroline smirked as she mocked Elena.
"The reason starts with an 'S' and ends with an 'n'" She snapped. "Can we just go to school, please."
"Someones a little grumpy this morning, geez." Caroline responded
"You could say that I um, had a bad dream, didn't sleep very well..." Elena ended the conversation.
