Stefan, Elena and Bonnie were just about finished eating dinner when the doorbell rang, slicing through the awkward tension that was surrounding them.
"Hmm, I wonder who that could be?" Elena placed her napkin down on the table and quickly made her way over to the door.
"Surprise! Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert." Caroline was cheerfully smiling on the other side of the door, holding up a vanilla frosted cake.
"Oh" Elena smiled politely as she looked between Caroline and Stefans older brother, Damon.
"Hope you don't mind." Damons velvety voice caressed Elenas ears as he stared into her eyes with a seductive smirk playing on his lips. Caroline walked in, handing the cake to Elena as Stefan came walking over to her side.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan glared at Damon as he took his place next to Elena. His worst nightmare was coming true, and he hoped that Elena was observant enough to realize not to invite him in.
Damon smiled innocently at Stefan and took a few steps closer to the door before looking back over at Elena, "Waiting for Elena to invite me in."
Elena looked up from the cake she was holding into Damons piercing blue eyes, "Oh, yeah, you-"
"No, no, no. He, he can't, uh. He can't stay. Can you, Damon?" Stefan panicked and interrupted right before the invitation crossed her lips. He stuttered nervously trying to think of a reason why he was being so persistent about not letting him in the house, but he knew he couldn't say much. Elena scrunched her eyebrows together when she looked over at him and gently shook her head as Damon stared into Stefans eyes.
Caroline scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Get in here."
Stefan nervously glanced back at her and let out a sigh of distress when he realized he wasn't going to win this. "We're just, finishing up." He gave it one last try, silently pleading with Elena to understand.
"It's fine. Just come on in." Elena rolled her eyes and politely stepped aside, making room for Damon to walk through the door. Damon smiled as he brushed past Stefan and nodded his head. Elena gave Stefan a warning glare as she shut the door, not realizing the danger she could have potentially just put herself in.
"You have a beautiful home, Elena." Damon purred as he turned on his heel to look back at them.
Elena took a deep settling breath to calm her nerves as she caught his eyes, "Thank you."
The rest of the night went by in kind of a blur. Stefan was very attentive, making sure to catch every sly comment Damon made. He watched as Damon puppeteered Caroline, controlling what she did or said, but he didn't seem to notice the brief, but meaningful conversation Elena and Damon had in the kitchen. He was so consumed with picking out all the negatives that he couldn't let himself see the few positives. As the night was coming to an end, Stefan and Damon were sitting alone in Elenas living room as the girls were in the kitchen cleaning everything up.
Stefan glared at Damon as he sat next to him and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, "They are people Damon. She's not a puppet, she doesn't exist for your amusement, for you to feed on whenever you want to."
"Sure, she does. They all do. They're whatever I want them to be. They're mine for the taking." Damon had enough of Stefan constantly badgering him, acting like he was better. He genuinely had no intention of harming Elena, but just to annoy Stefan, he would play the part.
"Alright, you've had your fun. You used Caroline, you got to me and Elena. Good for you. Now its time for you to go."
Damon shook his head and a smirk pulled at the corner of his lips, "That's not a problem. Because, I've been invited in. And I will come back tomorrow night and the following night, and I'll do, with your little cheerleader, whatever I want to do. Because that is what is normal to me." He patted Stefan on the shoulder a few times before standing up to collect his jacket and be on his way. Stefan stared at the empty space where Damon was sitting and pondered on what he just said, his thoughts were running wild in his head. He listened as Damon said his goodbyes and waited until he heard the front door close him outside before walking over to Elena.
"Your brother isn't that bad. I don't know why you give him such a hard time." Elena smiled up at him and shrugged her shoulders before walking over towards the stairs. She realized Stefan wasn't following her and turned to look at him, her eyebrows scrunched together in confusion, "Did you want to come upstairs or?"
"I um, I actually should probably get going. It's late and a school night. But thank you, for tonight. I had a nice time." He reached out for her hands and softly placed them over his chest as he leaned down to press a tender kiss against her lips. She sighed happily into their kiss and threaded her fingers in between his, giving them a gentle squeeze before pulling away and walking over to the front door.
"Thank you for doing this for me. It really means a lot to me that you and Bonnie get along." She smiled as she gazed into his eyes and slowly opened the door, stepping aside so he could walk by. He nodded his head and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before forcing himself to leave. He wanted to stay more than anything, but he was nervous about Damon, and he needed to figure out a way to keep her safe from him. Elena waited until he was out of sight before she shut the door and made her way up to her room.
Damon was leaning up against her house, right underneath her window. He watched as she got undressed and sat on the edge of her bed, brushing out her hair. "My brother. Always the gentleman." He snickered as his eyes traveled over her mostly naked body. He had seen it all before, Katherines body was an exact copy at first glance. But he was curious to find out if they had any differences. He already could see that Elena was clearly a much kinder, more loving version of Katherine. But his interest was more in the differences between their bodies. Elena stood up and unclasped her bra, tossing it into her underwear drawer, and then pulled out a form fitting tank top. Damon quietly jumped up into the tree outside her window so he could get a bit of a closer look. The way her shirt hugged her body, showing off her perfectly round breasts and hard nipples. He growled when she turned around to pull the blankets down on her bed, giving him a perfect view of her perky ass. She started to climb in and paused for a second, reaching over into her dresser drawer, and pulled out what looked like a vibrator. "Well, this is about to get interesting." He groaned as she flicked the light off next to her bed and laid down on top of the blankets. He cautiously moved onto her windowsill and made himself as comfortable as possible while he watched Elenas hands slowly caress her body. Her eyes fluttered closed as she brushed over her nipples, lightly pinching them over her shirt. Her body arched up into her touch and a soft moan escaped her lips. He felt his pants getting tighter around his growing erection and it was taking every bit of self-control he had not to jump in her window and show her a good time. He wasn't even this turned on with Caroline and he had already slept with her. Elena gasped bringing his attention back to her body as her fingers slipped into her panties, teasingly drawing circles around her clit. She ran her fingers through her wet folds a few times, making her body squirm around on the bed, before pulling her hand out, and slowly wiggling her panties down her legs, kicking them onto the ground. He took a deep breath, growling as her arousal hit his nose, and unbuttoned his pants to relieve some of the pressure building up inside him. She grabbed the vibrator and turned it on to the lowest setting, trailing it up and down her inner thighs before pressing it to her clit, making her body jolt off the bed. Her lips parted and her head flew back into the pillows as she fought to keep herself quiet, desperately trying to find her release. She bit down into one of her pillows as a muffled moan escaped her lips while she turned the vibrator onto a higher setting. Her body started to tremble, and her toes began to curl, she was about to cum, and it was torture watching her through the window. He groaned as his cock throbbed against his jeans and he quickly pulled it out, freeing it from the torture of his tight clothes.
"Oh God, Damon!" She cried out as she crashed into her orgasm. She quickly pulled the vibrator away and turned it off as her body convulsed on the bed.
His jaw almost hit the ground as his name left her lips, the way it sounded, rolling off her tongue in that sexy moan. He licked his lips and watched as she shakily sat up and ran her fingers through her hair. A small smile played on her lips, and she let out a nervous giggle while she put the vibrator back in her dresser and fell back against her pillows. His cock was so hard it was painful for him to put it away, he knew he could call Caroline and have his problem solved but after watching that, Caroline no longer caught his interest. He growled as his phone vibrated in his pocket and angrily flipped it open to a text from none other than his brother. He laughed under his breath as he jumped down to the ground, straightened out his jacket, and made his way over to her front door. He lifted his fist up and lightly tapped on the door, he figured, you get more bees with honey. So, he wanted to try going about this in a non-aggressive way before resorting to other measures. He listened to the sound of soft footsteps descending the stairs and then a nervous breath of air before the door slowly opened.
"Damon? What, I mean, um, why are you back here? Is everything okay?" Elena was staring at him like a deer caught in headlights. Her face was still flushed from her orgasm and her heart was about to beat out of her chest. She raked her fingers through her hair and pulled her robe tight against her body as she swallowed the lump that was stuck in her throat.
Damon cocked his head to the side and let out a mock nervous chuckle as he pressed his hands into his pockets, "Yeah, I, sorry. I shouldn't have come back here." He nodded his head before spinning around on his heel and making his way towards the stairs.
"Wait, it's okay. I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just, don't go, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" She anxiously jumped forward and grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks. He smiled to himself before turning around to face her and letting out a deep breath, following her into the house.
She shut the door behind them and slowly looked up into his eyes, trying her best to hide the fact that she was nervous and still mildly turned on. He gazed down at her and for a moment he forgot why he was even there. He reached out and gently grazed her lips with the tips of his fingers, cupping her chin with his hand. Her eyes fluttered shut and her breath hitched in her throat, "D-Damon, what are you doing?" She whispered breathlessly as he tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"I, I'm" He paused to clear his throat and dropped his hand from her face, taking a few steps back, bumping into the wall. Her eyes shot open, and she shook her head but before she could say anything his finger touched her lips, making her heart drop into her stomach. He dragged his finger down, lightly tugging on her bottom lip, trailed it down her neck, to her collarbone, and hesitantly traced the opening of her robe. "I, actually don't remember why I'm here." He whispered as he swallowed deeply and watched her face for any indication of how she was feeling. He continued tracing over the opening of her robe, slowly pushing it open, teasing the little bit of exposed skin with the tip of his finger.
She let out a shaky breath and grabbed his hand, stopping his movements, "Damon, what are you doing?" Her voice didn't sound as strong as she hoped it would, and the hand that was gripping tightly onto his was slightly trembling.
Damon glanced down at her lips and instinctually licked his own while he gently pulled his hand from her grasp, "I came here because I thought, I uh, you just intrigue me. And I was curious about something. I didn't mean to offend you. I watched my brother leave earlier and it baffled me. How he could leave you alone after being so close to you all night. My brother, always so polite and well, prudish, if you ask me. If you were my girl, you would never be left alone." He looked back up into her eyes and smiled as he heard her heart rate spike.
Elena froze, unable to think of anything to say back to him, stuck in the depths of his crystal blue eyes, sucked into his soul. She let out a deep breath and dropped her arms to her sides, letting her robe fall loosely open. Damons eyes traveled down the line of newly exposed skin and a low growl rumbled in his chest, "Elena, I don't have much self-control, that's your final warning."
His eyes shot back up to hers and he shifted his weight, trying to readjust his already aching erection in his jeans. Elena couldn't stop her eyes from glancing down at his groin and a small smile pulled at her lips when she noticed the bulge there, "Why are you here, Damon?" She purred as she took a step closer to him.
"Elena." She took another step closer, stopping inches away from him, and ran her hands up his hard chest. His head rolled back against the wall and his cock twitched in his jeans as the scent of her arousal hit his nose. She lightly pressed her body against his and brushed her hand across his groin, "I want you." She whispered into his ear, sending a chill down his spine.
He growled as the last bit of self-control he had snapped and swiftly picked her up off the ground, spun them around and pinned her hands above her head against the wall, "Oh yeah? How badly do you want me? Bad enough to leave Stefan? Or would I just be your shameful secret?" He hissed as his grip tightened around her wrists.
She shook her head and stared deep into his eyes, watching as they slightly darkened, "Your eyes." She whispered softly. He panicked and dropped her down to the ground, quickly spinning around to get himself under control. She gently grabbed his arm, turning him towards her, and gasped when she saw his fangs and the tiny black veins under his eyes. He shook her arm off and closed his eyes before rushing over to the front door. "Wait, don't leave. Please." She pleaded as she ran in front of him.
He looked down into her eyes and his eyebrows scrunched together as his head cocked to the side, "Why aren't you scared? You should be." He growled as he stalked towards her, backing her against the door.
She took a deep breath and tentatively reached up, lightly tracing the veins under his eyes. His lips slightly parted as her fingers trailed down his face and carefully touched each one of his fangs. He closed his eyes and for a moment he lost himself in her soothing touch as her fingers slowly moved down to his chest, stopping over his heart, "I wouldn't hide you like a shameful secret. I would never do that to anyone." She whispered as she lightly threaded her fingers through his hair and gently pulled his lips down to hers, tenderly kissing him.
He instantly melted into her lips and wrapped his arms around her waist, purring contently as her fingers massaged his head. She pulled away to catch her breath and stared up into his eyes, noticing that they were back to their normal color. She smiled up at him and reached down to grab his hand. He glanced down and watched as her tiny fingers laced in between his own and shook his head in disbelief, "I shouldn't have come here. I'm sorry, Elena, but I can't let you remember this." He whispered the last few words before looking up into her eyes.
"What do you mean? Damon, I won't tell anyone anything, I promise. I wouldn't even know what to say anyway, don't make me forget. I, I want to know you. Please." She begged as tears began to form in her eyes. He gently placed his hands on both sides of her face and leaned down to kiss her, softly moaning as he felt her fingers tangle into his hair. He picked her up off the ground as his lips traveled down her neck, lightly nibbling on his way to her chest. She arched her body into his touch, silently begging him for more. He growled against her skin and pulled away to look into her eyes, searching for any sign of fear. Her chest was heaving, and her eye lids were heavy, "Please" She whispered breathlessly.
"Fuck." He groaned and held her tight to his body as he vamped them upstairs to her bedroom. She giggled at how fast they just moved and dug her nails into his arms. He tossed her onto the bed before quickly locking her window and door. She watched as he slowly walked over to the bed and started to remove his clothes. Her heart was beating out of her chest and her body was lightly trembling, full of adrenaline. She stared into his eyes as her hands teasingly ran up her body, pulling her robe down her shoulders, exposing her scantly covered breasts. His cock began to throb as she sat up, letting the robe slide off her arms, and pulled her shirt up over her head. She threw it onto the ground and leaned back against the headboard with her legs slightly spread. He slid his pants down off his legs, leaving him in a pair of black silk boxers, and never broke eye contact as he began to crawl up her body.
He trailed kisses from her feet up her legs, darting his tongue out around every birth mark. Her breath hitched in her throat when he reached her core and he gently grabbed her panties with his teeth, slid them down her legs, and then kissed his way up her other leg. Her hands shot down and tangled in his hair as he reached her core again, "D-Damon, I, don't, oh God." She moaned as he trailed his tongue through her wet folds, purring at the sweet taste of her arousal. He glanced up into her eyes as he twirled his tongue around her clit and gently grabbed onto her hips, pulling her up against his mouth.
"Uhh, my God." She quickly grabbed a pillow and bit down into it to muffle the sounds that escaped her lips. Her body was beginning to shake as he relentlessly sucked on her clit, bringing her pleasure that she never felt before. As he continued to please her with his tongue, he ran his fingers up through her drenched core and pressed two inside her, curving them up towards her g-spot. Her body bucked up against him and she dug her nails into his head, "I, oh God, I can't, please!" She cried out as her walls clamped down around his fingers. He moaned against her as her orgasm ripped through her body, the taste of her cum was addictive. He slowly pulled his fingers from her and ran his tongue through her folds a few more times, lapping up every last drop, until her body stopped shaking. He kissed his way up to her chest and lightly swirled his tongue around her nipples, making her arch her body up into him.
"Damon" She breathed out his name as her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling his body flush against her own. He groaned as his silk covered cock rubbed against her warm center, he could feel the wetness through the thin fabric.
"Fuck, Elena." She tangled her fingers in his hair and hungrily attacked his lips, moaning into his mouth as her hand traveled down his chest and grabbed onto his cock over his boxers. He thrusted into her and gently bit down on her bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth. She slid her hand into his boxers and closed her hand around his cock, slowly starting to move it up and down. He moaned and rested his forehead against hers, staring down into her eyes. His lips parted and his eyebrows knitted together as she ran her thumb through the precum, teasing the tip of his cock. She gazed into his eyes and watched as the veins began to appear underneath them again, making her tighten her hand around him.
"Do you want to bite me?" She whispered seductively as she quickened her hand. His fangs descended and a low growl came from his chest, "Yes. I want every part of you." He moaned as she titled her head back, exposing her neck to him.
"Then do it." She purred as she tangled her fingers into his hair and pulled his mouth down against her.
He groaned and ran his tongue across the pulsating vein under her skin before gently sinking his teeth into her, moaning as soon as her blood hit his tongue.
"Oh God." She breathed out as he slowly and passionately sucked on her neck. He ran his hands up her body, caressing her skin as she continued pumping his cock. He thrusted into her hand and moaned as she brought him close to his release. "Cum for me, Damon." She panted as she felt his cock swelling up in her hand. He grunted as she squeezed him tighter and threw his head back, her blood dripping down his chin. He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled it from his boxers, ripped them off his body, and aligned himself with her entrance. She gazed up into his eyes with hooded lids and nodded her head, giving him permission. He placed his hands on both of her thighs and slowly pushed into her, pausing every few seconds to allow her body time to adjust to his size. Once he was fully seated inside her, she wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed him deeper into her.
"You're so tight. Fuck." He groaned as his cock throbbed. She dug her nails into his back and pulled him down to her lips, hungrily licking her own blood off him. He dipped down into the crook of her neck as he continued thrusting into her, lightly trailing his tongue across the bite marks he left on her skin. She held him tight to her body and moved in sync with him, bringing them both closer to their release.
She could feel him throbbing inside her and knew he was close, "I want to taste you." She panted between breaths as she ran her tongue up his neck, covering his skin in goosebumps.
He bucked into her harder at the thought of her tasting his blood and tangled his fingers in her hair, "Uh, you want, fuck Elena." His body was starting to tremble as he neared his release, and his movements were becoming more frantic. She moaned into his skin and clenched down around him as she bit down into his shoulder as hard as she could. A loud moan escaped his lips as her teeth actually broke through his skin and she started to slowly suck his blood, "Jesus Christ, Elena." He thrusted into her a few more times, grinding his hips against her, making her bite down harder. "Fuck!" Her pussy tightened around him as he drove into her, sending him tumbling over the edge. His body shook with pleasure as his orgasm crashed into him, and he collapsed on top of her, gripping onto her so tight he could feel the bruises forming. Her head fell back into the pillows, letting go of his shoulder, as she tried to catch her breath. He propped himself up on his elbow and looked down at her, growling at the sight of his blood covering her lips.
She smiled up at him as she licked her lips and lightly brushed his hair from his face, "I think we were kind of loud. I hope no one came home."
He chuckled and shook his head as her fingers trailed down his cheeks, "So, I guess you're going to make me forget all this now? I, um, I wish you wouldn't. I wouldn't tell anyone what you are, I won't even tell anyone what we did if you don't want anyone to know." She whispered nervously.
"Elena, If I was going to erase your memory of me, I would be gone already. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. And honestly, Elena, I don't know what you did to me, but something about you made me feel like, well, you made me feel. I know I'm not making sense, but I just want you to know, that you just broke down walls that I've been building for about 150 years. And I don't want you to run off once I explain everything to you, but I'll understand if you do." He smiled sweetly as he ran his fingers through her hair, gently tucking it behind her ear.
She stared at him for a second, trying to process the fact that he just told her he's over 150 years old, and slowly reached up to trace the contours of his face, "I want to know everything about you." She said softly before pulling his lips down to hers and tenderly kissing him. He smiled against her lips and slowly rolled off her, laying down next to her as she laid her head down on his chest.
"Elena, I'm sorry. I came here with the intention of making my brother miserable. I, me and him, we don't see eye to eye. And you, well you are almost identical to our ex, Katherine. And when I first saw him with you, it made me crazy. I don't know what his reasons were for wanting to know you, but from the moment I met you, I knew I had to have you. I never expected to actually genuinely care for you, but as soon as I looked into your eyes earlier, something inside me switched." He paused and looked down at her, lightly running his fingers down her body.
She gazed into his eyes and blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall, "Is Katherine, or I mean, was she, what you are?" She asked quietly, trying to keep her voice from cracking. Damon nodded his head and let out a long sigh, "She was a vampire, yes. She is the reason why me and Stefan are too, she uh, well she is pretty much the reason for all the issues between the two of us. She was selfish and manipulative, but very seductive. When she first moved into our mansion, she acted as if she was innocent and needed shelter. Soon after, she showed me what she really was, and she made me believe that if I turned, we could be together forever. I wasn't aware that she was tricking Stefan into drinking her blood the whole time so when the both of us got shot, we both went into transition. I, well, I uh, I had no intention of actually turning because Katherine died, that is how Stefan and I got shot, trying to save her. So, when I woke up in transition, and saw that Stefan was also in transition, it stung for sure. I was perfectly okay with letting myself die, but then Stefan accidently killed our father and when he came back to me, he convinced me to feed, told me we would be together always." He stopped and took a deep breath, swallowing back his nerves. Elena wrapped her arm around his waist and lightly kissed his chest. He looked down into her eyes and forced a tiny smile, "As soon as I tasted blood, it changed me. I was no longer at peace; I became a monster. And I promised Stefan an eternity of misery. All these years, and he still thinks its because he forced me to turn into a vampire. But, the real reason, is because I was angry that she turned him. It was only supposed to be me." He chuckled sarcastically and looked up at the ceiling, anxiously raking his fingers through his hair.
Elena sat up on her elbow and gently turned his face towards her, "I, I wish I knew what to say. I, I'm sorry for everything you've been through. I hope you know, even if I look like her, I wouldn't do that to either of you. I, I met Stefan at a turning point in my life but that doesn't mean I'm in love with him. I literally only talked to you for one day and you have shared more with me then he has. I still don't understand a lot, and mind is filled with questions beyond belief but, I'm actually really tired." She giggled nervously while tucking her hair behind her ear.
Damon chuckled and pulled her tightly against his body, "I should probably get going. I'm sure Stefan is having a heart attack right now. But, I, listen, things might not be easy for us right away, but promise me you won't tell anyone about me or Stefan. This town used to be full of vampires and if they knew we were back, it would stir up a bunch of problems." He kissed the top of her head, breathing in her scent, before jumping up out of the bed.
She quickly sat up and grabbed his arm, pulling him back over to her. He stopped and looked down into her eyes, "Elena-"
"Shh, I know you have to leave. I just wanted to let you know I'm glad you came back here tonight. Even if you had bad intentions, I, you opened my eyes to a whole other world. And you made me happy, for the first time since, well since I lost my parents. So, thank you." She whispered the last couple of words as tears filled her eyes.
Damon laced his fingers in between hers and brought her hand up to his lips, tenderly kissing her knuckles. He searched her eyes, hoping to find the words to say back to her, but he was at a loss. He wanted to smile and be happy that he made her happy but deep down he knew that bringing her into his life, into their lives, would only bring her pain. He dropped her hand and gently grabbed both sides of her face, staring deep into her eyes, "Elena, I came back here tonight because I left my cell phone. You politely let me in to give it to me and then we said goodnight and I went home.." Tears were streaming down his cheeks as his eyes dilated, compelling her to forget the night they just shared. "I can't be selfish with you." He whispered before giving her a tender kiss and disappearing from her room.
