Before the Sun Sets

CHAPTER 41 ~Truth

I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

The sun was shining Sunday morning. As Maddie stirred, she scrunched her eyes. She didn't want to get up. In fact, she just wanted to stay in her bubble. It became apparent to her that she wasn't going to get anymore sleep. Still keeping her eyes closed, she moved her hand, in search for Elijah. She didn't feel him next to her. When she couldn't feel his body next her, a frown crossed her features. His spot didn't feel cold; however, it didn't feel warm either. And she didn't hear the shower. With a huff, she opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was that Elijah was gone.

Getting out of bed, she had to put her hands back down on the bed to readjust. Her legs, while working, still felt a bit numb. And she could tell that her vagina was sore. Other than that, she felt fine. When she got the feeling back in her legs she made her way out of his room and downstairs. The kitchen was clear and so was the living room. Where could he be? She thought, as she looked around the rooms that she knew was empty. She hadn't heard any movement upstairs. As she went to make her way back up there, she spotted her cell phone on the couch. Grabbing it, she read the text messages waiting for her as she made her way to her room.

Cordelia – Hello lovely sister.

Maddie smirked at her sister's antics. She sent her an emoji of the sun as her way of saying good morning.

Cordelia – What time do you plan to be home by?

Maddie – Um, later this afternoon?

Cordelia – Okay. I know dad is working and I'm not sure what mom is doing. She mentioned going out of town with some friends yesterday so she might not be home when we get there.

Maddie – Hopefully she isn't.

Cordelia – Well keep me updated with your plans. That way our stories are straight.

Maddie – Got you!

Maddie had been back upstairs. She put her phone down on the in table before she decided to go and take a shower. The feeling of the hot water against her body was great. She stayed in there for as long as she could before she came to the conclusion that she should get out. She definitely planned to use that shower again. As she dried off she could hear the bedroom door opening. Quickly, not even bothering to grab undergarments she slipped into Elijah's shirt before leaving the bathroom.

She stood in the door watching. Elijah put down something on his in table. As she walked into the room she could see a Starbucks logo. And then she saw a refresher, which was her favorite drink. She grinned, "Aw, you got me a refresher." As she spoke she walked over to him.

"I did." Elijah leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips. "Good morning."

"Hi." She felt shy all of a sudden. She wasn't sure why. Especially considering what they had done the night before. Grabbing the refresher from his in table she got into the bed. Going over to her side quickly. She took a huge gulp, enjoying the taste. "Ugh, I love this."

Elijah, who had got in next to her smiled at her. He was sitting with his back against the headboard, instead of laying down like she was. She had already set down her drink by her phone.

"How do you feel?" She didn't miss the way he was studying her. Like she was going to flip out or something.

"I feel good."

"Are you still sore?"

She shrugged, "A little bit. Nothing bad."

"Good."

She placed her hand on his arm, touching his shirt. It felt expensive. She was sure, knowing him, that it was. "Last night was amazing."

"No regrets?"

She shook her head, "None. You were so gentle with me and sweet. I mean I'm not going to lie at first it did hurt, but then it started to feel good." He smirked at her. "I hope that we'll have more moments like that."

"Like what?" He knew what, he just wanted her to say it. From the smirk on his face she could tell.

"I hope that we will be having more sex." She stated. Trying not to laugh as she said so.

"That we will most definitely be doing," he leaned down, allowing his lips to press lightly against her ear. "Because now that I've had you, I don't plan on letting you go."

"I like the sound of that."

Elijah kissed the side of her head before he planted his face in the crook of her neck. She smiled into the pillow. She could feel his hand creeping up her leg. Her smile widened when she felt his hand trail up the shirt she was wearing. She hadn't put on any underwear. She had just thrown on his shirt. Underneath it she was naked. When his hand stopped near her hip, she felt his face leave her neck. He stared at her.

"No underwear?"

"I forgot."

He asked with a raised eyebrow, "You forgot?"

"Well I heard you coming and then just slipped on your shirt."

"I'm assuming you don't have a bra on either."

She moved her head from the side so that she was looking up straight instead of on an angle. Her body laying straight, while Elijah looked at her on his side. "I don't have anything on."

"Well in that case," she watched as he moved his hands to the center of the shirt, ripping it open. A slight swish of air hit her. She looked down seeing her naked body exposed. While she was still a little sore she felt her insides begin to stir up. Her pussy was wide awake now, and ready. Her nipples were ready to. Whatever he was about to give she was ready to receive. Taking the initiative, she sat up and slipped her arms out of the shirt before she threw it on the ground. Laying back down she looked up at him. She was enjoying the way that he was leaning over her.

"Your body is a masterpiece."

"It's your masterpiece."

He chuckled. She watched as he ran a hand threw his hair. She felt a surge of heat rush through her. It was the little things that he did that turned her on.

"If you are to sore you need to tell me. Right now."

She shook her head. Speaking in a hushed tone she said, "I'll take whatever you give me."

Elijah didn't bother responding to her. At least not verbally. Instead his head moved down, taking one of her nipples into his mouth. He sucked. She let her head fall back, a moan escaping her. He quickly moved to the other one, giving it just as much attention. One his hands made their way down her body and into her pussy. He inserted a finger, moving it in and out. At first it was a slow pace, but then he added another one going faster. She forgot all about the soreness that had been there. Instead all she felt was pleasure. Moving away from her breasts he watched her face. She was obviously enjoying what he was giving her. Removing his fingers made her open her eyes. She watched, mouth open as he inserted his fingers into his mouth. Licking them. That only made her wetter.

"You taste wonderful." He quickly got off of the bed. She watched him with curious eyes. He walked to the front of the bed standing there. She watched as he discarded his shirt, leaving him in his pants. He crawled onto the bed, getting between her legs.

"What are you doing?" She already knew, but she wanted him to say it. She had a thing for sexy talking Elijah. She liked when he got all dominant with her to.

He leaned his head down, getting comfortable between her legs, resting them upon his shoulders. Looking up at her quickly he answered, "Having breakfast." Taking the hood of her clit into his mouth he bit down gently.

"OH!"

Continuing, he began to suck on the top of her clit, moving one of his fingers in and out of her pussy. She was so wet and ready for him, sucking his finger in. He kept it going in and out while he sucked her. Her moans filled his ears. He looked up at her, never stopping his ministrations on her body. She knew he was watching her, so she kept her eyes on him as she moaned aloud. It felt so fucking good. His tongue moved at a fast pace, feasting on her. He moved his hands to her thighs, keeping her legs open wider for him to have better access.

"OH YES!"

Maddie moved her hands to his hair, holding his head in place. Her mouth opened slightly. She continued to hold his gaze. Watching him eat her out. One of the sexiest things she has ever seen. Within seconds her eyes scrunched up and a scream came out of her. She had come. Hard. Elijah kept his mouth on her pussy drinking in everything she gave him. When she came down from her high of euphoria Elijah moved away, but not to far. He began kissing the inside of her thighs. Her back relaxed slightly on the bed. Retuning his head, he lapped at her pussy. Taking one long lick first before more followed. She held his head to her pussy, loving the feeling.

"What are you doing?" She asked when she felt his tongue disappear. "Go back!" Elijah chuckled. "It felt good." To please her he leaned back in, giving her another lick. "Just like that. You can keep going."

"I will gladly continue later, but right now I think you need something else."

She watched as he got to his feet and got out of his pants and boxers. All the while keeping his eyes on her. With a smirk, she scooted back until she felt the pillows. Elijah crawled up to her. Like a lion ready to have his prey. She broke contact to look at his cock. Seeing semen around the head made her smile. Elijah came above her, his mouth sucking one of her nipples. She raised herself slightly to give him more room.

"You take such good care of me," she told him as he switched breasts. He gave it the same attention as he did the first. "Now let me take care of you."

"You do." She tried to glare at him, but his fingers traveling back into her pussy caused her to moan some more instead of complain. After a few quick thrusts, Elijah placed his fingers in his mouth. "So sweet." He moved settling himself between his legs. She watched as he took his cock and ran it along her pussy. He stuck the head in, teasing her, before he pulled it out.

"Tease."

He smirked at her, sticking it in again before taking it out. He ran it along her pussy, making sure she felt it. "You ready?"

She nodded. He began entering her, slowly at first before just sticking his cock inside. She threw her head back, which pushed up her breasts. Seeing the way, she was reacting to him, he began to thrust in and out of her. Her body moved along the bed, loving every moment of the way he fucked her. In and out, in and out. There was nothing soft about what was happening. This was need. He held onto her legs, keeping her steady as he went from thrusting to pounding.

"Grab your nipples." She looked at him through hooded eyes. His eyes were wild and possessive for her. "Do it!"

Moving her hands from her side, she grabbed her nipples. They were still wet from when he sucked on them. "Play with them." She did as he said, squeezing her hand around the harden nipple. "Just like that. Keep doing it." She did as she told. Not letting up her he continued to fuck her, behind down his head and sucking her nipples. She held them for him, as he bit and sucked each one before he moved his head to her face, kissing her. She moved her head to his back then, holding him. He laid on top of her then, fucking the life out of her while kissing the shit out of her.

"I'm going to-," she wasn't able to finish as she came for the second time that morning. Elijah wasn't far, releasing his seed inside of her.

Even though they were both done he stayed inside of her. She didn't want him to move though. He made her feel, well he made her feel amazing.

"Well," she spoke after she had completely caught her breath, "what a way to start my day off."

Chuckling, he kissed her cheek, moving slightly so that he was still inside of her but so that his weight wasn't crushing her. "Indeed."

"Hello?" Maddie answered her phone as she stopped at the stop sign.

"Hey, where are you?"

"I'm at the stop light before you get into our neighborhood."

"Oh. Well, no one is home so I just wanted to tell you I was going inside."

"You're home already?"

"Yup. Going to go get my ass in the shower and then I think I'll make dinner tonight. Give mom a break."

"You're such a sweet child." Maddie said as the light turned green. She made a slight right turning into their neighborhood. "Well I'm down the road."

"I don't think I locked the door. I'll be in the shower."

"Okay. See you soon." Cordelia hung up at then and Maddie was already pulling into her driveway. The minute she got out of her car she went to her backseat, taking out a duffel bag. She had brought extra clothes to Elijah's for future visits. So now she just had the clothes she wore and needed to wash. As she walked inside of her house, she could hear the shower going upstairs. She went into her own room, getting her laundry together before she went to her sister's room and got hers. Placing her basket on the top of her sister's she picked them up and left her room. She was glad it wasn't too heavy. Then again Cordelia didn't have a lot of clothes in there since she hadn't been going out a lot, so she hadn't changed outfits a lot. As she was making her way downstairs, Cordelia was coming out of her bathroom. She had a towel wrapped around herself and a shower cap on.

"Hey."

Maddie turned her head, "Hey."

"What are you doing?"

"Laundry."

She placed a hand over her chest, touching her towel, "How sweet. Baby sis is doing my laundry."

"Well I figured I could be nice since you're making dinner tonight."

Cordelia joked, "Not because I always cover for you?"

"Well I'm grateful for that to."

"I'm sure you are. See you downstairs."

She nodded her head. Walking down the stairs and then going into the basement. The basement was where they kept their washer and dryer. They didn't really go down there for much else unless it was to store things away. Maddie knew that her parents were interested in finishing the basement but she wasn't sure if they were actually going to do it or not. It had come up a few times but there was never a definite answer about it. After putting in the first load, she went upstairs to get her parents laundry. Since she was doing hers and her sisters she figured she might as well do theirs. As she leaving their bedroom, Lucy came up to her, sniffing her ankle. She bent down to pet her.

"Hi Lucy. Did you miss me?" Lucy continued to snuggle up to her. However, when she heard Cordelia coming towards them she immediately went to her, "Traitor."

"Traitor would be if she didn't come to me."

Maddie looked at her sister, "You know when you aren't here I'm her number one."

"I'm sure you are. What should I make?"

A smirk came over her face, "What can you actually cook?"

"Ha ha, you are so funny. Not! Let's not forget who rocked Thanksgiving dinner."

"I thought that was me."

"Don't flatter yourself. But seriously, any preferences?"

"No." She picked up her parent's basket, "I will meet you in the kitchen in a second. And then I'll help."

Quickly, she went downstairs and placed her parent's basket next to her sister's. With one last look she headed back upstairs. Her sister was in the kitchen, washing her hands. "What did you decide on?"

"Mom left out ground beef, so I think that I will just do spaghetti."

"Well that's good. Can't mess that up."

"I don't know why you think that you are so funny all of a sudden."

"Elijah seems to like my humor."

"Mhm, I am sure he does."

As the two began to cook dinner, it got quiet. Maddie already had the water on the stove and was waiting for it to get ready so she could put that pasta inside. Her sister was already at the stove, cooking the ground beef. The only thing that could really be heard was the sound of food cooking.

"Lexie Green."

Maddie looked up, she was caught off guard by her sister's sudden words, "Who is that?"

"Lexie Green." She dropped her head back and let out a laugh. It was a fake one though. "Ugh, she ruined my life."

Maddie's eyes went wide. She had no idea what the hell her sister was talking about. Her sudden laughing was making her kind of anxious though. "You've completely lost me Cord."

"That's Nathan's biology partner for the semester. Probably his girlfriend now." She kept quiet, understanding now what her sister was talking about. "You know I should have known something was up the first time I saw them together, but I just thought that it was nothing. And then during Halloween when she just so happened to show up at the same party we were going to. But still even then, I let myself think that it was just a coincidence. Then he tells me before Thanksgiving that he thinks we should take a break. A break!"

"Are they together?"

"By his snapchat, which she is always on I would say yeah."

Cordelia still hadn't made eye contact with her yet. "He never deserved to have you. And I'm not just saying that because you're my sister." Maddie told her.

Cordelia lifted her head up, giving her sister a warm smile, "Thank you."

The next morning, Maddie woke up early. It was only five a.m. She figured it had been because she went to bed before ten the night before, which wasn't on purpose. After ten minutes when by she realized that she wasn't going to get anymore sleep. Dragging herself out of bed she headed towards the shower. She made sure that it was a quick one before padding back off towards her room. When she closed her door and looked up, a grin came over her face.

"Well good morning."

"Yes," Elijah, who sitting on the edge of her bed stood and walked to her. "It is a good morning." He leant his head down and gave her a quick kiss. She was glad that she had brushed her teeth before taking her shower instead of waiting.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing here?" She looked at the clock on her TV box. "It's not even six in the morning."

"I was up and decided to check in."

"How sweet."

"Why are you up so early?"

"I woke up and decided to just take a shower." A smile came over her face, "I'm sorry you missed it. I would have loved for you to join me."

Elijah's own smile came across his face, "What am I going to do with you?"

She pretended to think about, "Hm. Well to start you could kiss me." She quickly added, "And a real kiss not a quick fake one."

Elijah captured her lips with kiss as soon as she was done talking. Even though she asked for it, she was slightly caught of guard which caused her to gasp. He wasted no time letting his tongue find hers. She moved her hands up around his neck and into his hair as she kissed him back. Because her towel hadn't been wrapped tightly, the knot that was loose came out and fell around her feet. Elijah ran his hands down her naked body, letting them stop on her butt. He pulled away giving her ass a slight tap. That caused her to laugh and pull away.

Her breathing was slightly heavy, "What is it with you and my butt?"

"I love your butt."

"I've noticed." Moving her hands from around his neck, she pressed herself against him. His jacket felt weird against her nipples. She didn't hate it though. "You know I don't have school until seven."

"And?"

"And I think that's enough time for you to take me to bed and have your wicked way with me."

He chuckled, "What have I done with you?"

Raising herself to her tippy toes she moved her lips to his ear, "You've excited me."

Because of her position, Elijah was able to catch her neck. He began planting soft kisses before sucking gently. His hands which were still on her but moved slightly. She felt a small shiver as she felt his hand glide over her pussy softly. He didn't do anything, barley even really touched her but that didn't stop the excitement building up within her.

"Don't tease."

He stopped his sucking, "But it's so much fun."

"C'mon." He continued to let his hand move back and forth along her pussy. She felt herself becoming even more excited as he continued with his torment. She knew he could feel how wet she was. On top of that she knew that he could smell her. She whimpered slightly when she felt his finger disappear completely. "What are you doing?"

"Later."

"What do you mean later? What about now?!"

"When you get out of school later, come to my house."

"And why can't you finish me off now?"

"Because," he moved his head to her ear, "when you yell out my name I want to hear it all. I don't want you to hold back because your sister is across the hall and your parents are downstairs."

She knew he had a point but she was already worked up, "But you got me all hot and bothered."

"And I will make it up to you later."

"Promise?" He nodded, "Fine." She let her hand run down his chest and towards his pants. She could feel his bulge. Looking down she said, "Someone wants me."

"And someone will have you," he tilted her head up, "after school." Giving her another kiss, he slapped her ass again. "Get dressed."

"Only because you asked so nicely." She pulled away, going to her closet. She could have put on a bra and panties but she decided to stay naked until she picked out an outfit. Deciding on what she would wear she placed it on her bed. She then walked to her dresser grabbing a thong and a bra. She put the bra on first and then she leant down, knowing Elijah had a perfect view of her ass and a partial view of her pussy from the back. Slipping into the thong, she slid it up slowly. When it was on she turned around. He watched her like a hawk. With a smile she slipped into her cream colored long sleeve shirt and blue skinny jeans. She had matching sandals in her closet.

"Alright, I'm all dressed."

"That you are." He had moved over to the seat by her window. She walked over to him, sitting down. Placing her head in his side.

He kissed the top of her head, "I have no desire to go to school today." She told him honestly.

"I'm sure no one does."

She shook her head slightly, "It's gotten so bad this year. Maybe it's a senior thing with not wanting to go anywhere. Either way it will be over before I know it."

"And how do you feel about that?"

She had to think about it, "I don't know. I'm happy but sad at the same time."

"And why will you be happy?"

Her face scrunched up as she looked at him. No one had ever asked her that direct question before. "Because I'll have completed a huge milestone in my life. Graduating from high school."

"And sad?"

"Because," she thought about it, "whether I love school anymore or not I have met amazing people. Faculty and friends. Especially through lacrosse. I'll miss it."

"Enjoy every moment while it lasts."

She sighed, "I'll try. Although it doesn't really help when you have random people popping up because of this cure." She immediately noticed the stiffness that came from Elijah.

"What do you mean a cure?"

Shit. She hadn't exactly talked to him about the cure. And the fact that she knew. "Well, everyone is in search for the cure."

Elijah quickly turned her so that they were looking one another in the eye, "How do you know about the cure?"

"Rebekah told me."

"Rebekah?"

"Because Klaus daggered her."

"He daggered her?!"

She nodded, "Yes. But I don't know where he is. And I already yelled at him about it."

Elijah rubbed his temples, "Why didn't you tell me about any of this?"

"Because it never came up," she said, giving him a blank look. She felt her heart hammering a tad faster than normal. She was getting nervous.

Elijah put his head in his hand, shaking it. "I'm sure Klaus is well aware people are searching."

"I'm sure he is."

"And who else knows?"

"Well Damon knows, so I'm sure Stefan knows and everyone else in that group. And Shane knows about it as well."

"Who is Shane?"

"He's a professor."

"Where?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. Damon cut him off before he could really get that far." And before she could ask, but that wasn't important. At least she didn't think that it was.

"You're speaking to Damon again?"

She sighed, "No, not really. I mean I saw him at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant when Shane was trying to flirt with me." She stopped. The look on his face. It wasn't exactly anger but it wasn't happiness either. It was kind of in the middle. She could tell he was trying to keep it cool.

"Go on."

"Um, well yeah I met Shane and then Damon came in. Shane was telling him that the tattoo, the hunter's tattoo leads to the map. And the map leads to the cure. But you need a Bennett witch to get it."

"Right." It was quiet for a moment. "I see I need to go and speak to my brother. And maybe with professor."

Elijah rose, getting to his feet. Maddie followed standing up as well, "Hold on."

"You have school. I will see you later." She felt him kiss her forehead and then with a small swish of air he was gone. Leaving her alone. She let out a puff of air and let her head fall back. What the fuck.

Maddie walked out of her house, hurrying to her car. She had two bags. Her backpack and a small bag. The small bag held her gym clothes that she had brought home to wash for the weekend. Placing both bags in the back seat of her car she turned back to face her house. She blinked twice making sure that she was seeing right. Damon.

He was sitting on her porch. His head down. With caution she walked over to him, saying nothing. Instead of just ignoring him and going in her house, which was her second thought, she went with her first. She took a seat next to him on the steps. Neither one saying anything. Damon was thinking and Maddie just wasn't quite sure what to say.

"Do I have to worry about getting kidnapped?" She wondered. She was half serious and half trying to begin a conversation.

"Not toady." He spoke in his usual funny, sarcastic manner.

A small smile came to her face, "Good to know." The silence was back quickly. After a couple of minutes passed before she decided to speak again, "What have you done Damon?"

His response was instant, "I slept with Elena." She felt nothing. She wasn't shocked, she wasn't disappointed, she wasn't happy. She didn't feel anything. So, she chose not to say anything. "And it was probably the best day of my life. I just wanted to stay in that moment. Elena and me. Then, Stefan has to ruin it and tell me that she's sired to me."

She didn't look at him as she asked. Instead she stared ahead, looking at her grass. She wasn't sure she wanted to see the agony on his face. It would only make her hate Elena even more than she already did. "Is she?"

He put his head down, "I don't know."

She finally turned her head to face him, "Yes you do." He met her eye before quickly looking away.

"It's a possibility."

She put her head down. She had no idea what to say to him. "Did you tell her?" His silence gave her an answer. "Of course you didn't tell her, why on earth would I think you did that? You know, I am the first one to admit that I hate Elena but you should say something."

"Why?"

"Because she is going to find out anyways. Do you think Stefan isn't going to mention it to her? And then what? Did you even tell him you slept with her?" She was greeted by more silence. "Right, of course not."

"Stefan and I are going to find out more about this." He told her. "I just, I don't want it to be true."

"I'm sure you don't. And I'm sure that somewhere deep down you do actually love her, but-," she made sure to put emphasis on the word but. Damon locked eyes with her. "Are you ready to lose your brother for her?"

He stayed silent for a while, and then he spoke, "If it comes to that."

"I don't think you mean that." And she didn't. No matter how much he might think he loved Elena she knew that he loved Stefan. And she knew that he didn't want to hurt his brother.

Together they sat in silence again. Before he spoke, "You smell like him."

That caught her off guard, "What?"

"You smell like him. Elijah."

"Oh."

"Maddison isn't a virgin anymore."

She lightly smacked his shoulder, trying not to blush, "Stop it Damon!"

Instead of messing with her some more he just smiled at her. "I'm happy for you."

"Really?"

"I mean I would have preferred you got together with the quarterback, but you deserve to be happy."

"That means a lot to me Damon." She took it all in for a moment. She stood up tall, "Well I have to go. I am definitely going to be late, again. I don't want Ric to give me detention."

"If Ric gave you detention I would have to kill him."

"I like him better alive."

"Me too."

She walked to her car, stopping when she got to the door, turning to look at Damon she asked, "Why did you come to me?" She asked. Damon stopped and turned to face to her. "I knew, whether I wanted to hear it or not, that you would tell me what I needed to hear." And with that he was gone. Leaving her alone to think.

"Now why do we need to learn about Shakespeare?"

Maddie looked at the board copying the last of the notes. She could care less about Shakespeare right now. She was more concerned about getting out of school and getting to Elijah. Looking at her phone, which was face down on the desk she turned it over. Finding Elijah's name in her messages she clicked on his name. Sending him a text.

Maddie – Ugh, sitting in math and the only thing that I can think about it being with you later.

The reply was instant.

Elijah – I'm going to have to reschedule that.

She felt her face drop. She glanced to make sure that her teacher wasn't paying any attention to her before she typed a reply back to him.

Maddie – Why not?

Elijah – Something came up. I promise that I will make it up to you.

She stared at the words over. A frown coming over her face.

Maddie – Of course it did.

She only hoped he could read the sarcasm in her message. Turning her phone back over she continued to take her notes. She knew she would have a sour mood for the rest of the day.

Thank you all so much for the support! Hope you enjoy this chapter.

In this chapter ... Elijah and Maddie have a moment together in the morning. Maddie and Cordelia talk. Damon tells Maddie he was with Elena.

Next chapter ... More Maddie and Cordelia.
