Elena woke up slowly as she felt Damon's hands rub her back. "Hey, wake up." he said. "We're almost here."
"We are?" she said rubbing her eyes as she looked out the window the sun streaming in through the trees, thick on either side of the road
"Yep." he said smiling at her as she arched her back and stretched her arms back. "You got a text from Caroline about an hour ago saying she and Stefan are at the lake house."
"Good." she said. "Let our perfect weekend begin."
"We should probably get settled into our room first." he said.
"What wrong with sex on the porch?" she said.
"Let's save that for tomorrow." he said smiling at her.
"God, I feel so much better already." she said stretching her back out again. "This weekend is going to be so good for us, I can feel it."
"You seem happier already." he said and you haven't even seen where we're staying." He rounded the corner into a clearing and her jaw dropped.
"We're staying here?" she said sitting forward. A few hundred yards in front of her down a treelined driveway was a three story, there was no other word for it, mansion. It dwarfed the boarding house. It was deep yellow trimmed in mossy green surrounded by a trees. There was a porch wrapped around the whole first story of the house and she could see a large balcony on the second floor. "Damon, oh my god, it's beautiful."
"I thought you'd like it." he said turning down the driveway. "And it's all ours."
"This is all ours?" she said looking around. "Damon-"
"I would have found somewhere better but I had to plan this on such short notice."
"No, this is perfect." she said as he finally pulled in front of the house. She climbed out of the car and the smell of jasmine in the air wrapped around her. Almost before the engine had completely turned off she felt Damon pull her back against his chest as he kissed her neck and held her waist. "Damon..." she moaned arching back into his mouth, reaching back to wrap her arms around his neck. His hands slid up her stomach and over her breasts.
"God I've missed touching you like this." he moaned in her ear as she fell back into him and his back hit his car. "I've missed hearing you moan like that, like you don't have to worry about anyone else hearing us."
"I've missed it too." she gasped as on hand dipped down to tease the skin at the top of her jeans with his fingertips. "I've missed not holding back."
"We should get inside." he moaned. "The bed is much more comfortable then the hood of my car."
"If you insist." she said rolling her head back as he kissed her neck again. He finally pulled his mouth away from her neck and he moved his hands to his car. Elena pulled away slowly, regretfully turning to face him. "Seriously Damon this place is beautiful."
"I'll take care of our bags later." he said taking her hand and leading her inside. "I want you to see this place." He walked up the porch and pulled a key out of his back pocket. As he unlocked and opened the door Elena gasped. She had expected it to look like the boarding house all dark wood and heavy curtains but it was the exact opposite. The floors were a light polished wood and the walls were cream colored with delicately carved trim along the ceiling. The curtains were light and gauzy and as the opened the door they fluttered slightly. The furniture was all upholstered in ivory silk with burgundy pillows strewn across them.
"Damon..." she said quietly.
"So you like it?" he said leaning against the door to close it. She wandered around not venturing past the first room and he smiled as she looked around.
"This place is incredible." she said looking up at the ceiling.
"Wait until you see the upstairs." he said taking her hand and leading her towards the wide winding steps. She followed him running her hands along the white banister as she continued to look around. He took her to a set of double doors and smiled when she gasped again. The bed was dark wood which stood out in contrast to the white gauzy canopy. Above their heads was a small crystal chandelier that reflected the sunlight. All of the furniture was the same dark wood as the bed and a set of glass doors lead to the balcony she had seen from outside.
"I can't believe this is all ours." She said turning around and looking at everything. "It's all our and we don't have to think about Katherine or Bonnie or-" He caught her as she faced him and threw her down onto the bed crawling over her. "Stefan." she said her voice shaking in anticipation.
"Well then let's stop talking about them." he said looking down at her. The bed was covered in a fluffy white duvet that fluffed up around them when he threw her down.
"Let's stop talking." she said as the waning sun turned the room orange and scarlet.
"I like the way you think." he said gripping her waist and flipping her on top of him.
"I like the way you do everything." she said as he put his hands under her shirt and pulling it over her head. She reached down fumbling with the buttons of his shirt in her eagerness to get it off. He finally did it for her and soon both of their shirts lay tangled together on the floor.
"God I haven't had you in days." he said gripping her waist. "I've wanted you so bad."
"And you think I haven't." she said as he sat up kissing her soft breasts reaching around her back to undo the clasp of her bra. He kissed down her neck and shoulder sliding the straps down her arms. She threw her head back pressing her hips into his as she arched her back. She ran her hands over his smooth chest, her fingers brushing his face. She reached down and undid the button of his jeans kissing his neck. She sat back on her knees and undid her own jeans. He rolled her over again sliding her jeans down her legs kissing her stomach and down her legs. She shook as he felt his lips and sat up on her elbows as he pulled off the rest of his clothes. He lay on top of her again bracing one hand over her head and sliding the other down her stomach as he dipped two fingers into her. "Oh god." she gasped gripping his shoulder.
"I love how warm you are." he said moving his fingers in and out of her slowly. "And I love how when you moan I can feel it reverberate through your whole body." He kissed her neck again pressing his fingers deeper smiling as she gasped and gripped his neck pulling his mouth closer to her. She started rocking her hips in time to his fingers.
"You always know right where to go." she moaned as he adjusted his fingers and she gripped him tighter. "God, I need more." she moaned bucking against him. "Don't make me wait."
"But if I don't make you wait then I have nothing to make you look forward to." he said smirking at her.
"Except having you again." she moaned. "And again and again and again." she moaned bucking her hips over and over.
"Aren't you insatiable?" he sad bending down to suck gently on her nipples.
"Only with you." she moaned. "I want you driving inside me." she groaned. "I want to be able to scream without worrying who hears me."
"Don't hurry me." he groaned pressing her fingers deeper. "I know just what I want to do to you." He worked his fingers slower watching as she tossed her head back and forth her eyes clenched shut. "You close?" he whispered in her ear watching as she gasped for breath.
"So-so close." she murmured. "Damon I can't take much more...Please-" she muttered incoherently as his fingers sped up.
"Just a little longer." he hummed in her ear.
"I can't take anymore." she groaned arching her back of the bed.
"Good." he moaned. He pulled his fingers from her and drove himself deep into her.
"Fuck!" she cried digging her nails into his back thrusting her hips flush against his. "Goddamn it, Damon."
"Worth the wait?" he said now riding her slowly.
"Yes." she murmured. "You know me better then I do." she said clinging to him.
"It's because I've waited for so long for you." he said stroking her hair. "I knew that if I ever had you, even if it was only once I would make sure you never forgot me."
"I'll never forget you." she moaned. "And you have me for as long as you want me." she wrapped her legs around him trying to keep him as close as possible.
"Then I have you forever." he said driving deeper into her and she gasped again .
"I'm yours." she said. He pulled back and drove into her again and she finally felt herself coming undone. After one more thrust she finally wrapped both arms around him and screamed in ecstasy as she let herself go.
"Scream as loud as you want." he whispered in her ear.
"Damon!" she screamed again before finally falling back into the sheets. "Oh god I needed that." she moaned as he rolled to the side of her.
"So did I." he said stroking her stomach. "There is nothing sexier then hearing you scream my name like that." He kissed her gently and she stroked the side of his face.
"If that's any indication of what the rest of this weekend is going to be like," she said looking at him. "Then it is exactly what we need."
"Do you want to see the rest of the house?" he said sitting up.
"Sure." she said.
"And you probably need some food." he said.
"Oh yeah." she said immediately realizing how hungry she was.
"Come on." he said pulling on his jeans. Elena pulled on her underwear and Damon's shirt fastening one of the buttons. "Damn you look better in all my shirts then I do."
"I do not." she said rolling up the sleeves to her elbows. He took her by the waist kissing her gently running his hand through her hair.
"So shall I give you the full tour?" he said taking her through the double doors. She nodded following him through the house. She never stopped smiling as he showed her all the other rooms. She still couldn't absorb the lavishness of the house and paused every few minutes just make sure it was all real.
He ended the tour in the kitchen where he sat her on one of the high stools around the marble countered island. "Let me help you." she said watching as he opened the fridge and cabinets. "And how is the kitchen already stocked?"
"I have my ways." he said waggling his eyebrows. "And I am cooking dinner for you, so you're not allowed to help."
"Fine." she said stretching her arms above her. "Can you cook all my meals shirtless?"
"For this weekend, sure." he said washing carrots and broccoli in the sink.
"How about every other day?" she said.
"We'll see." he said giving his signature smirk over his shoulder. Elena rested her face in her hands as she watched Damon move around the kitchen. He would occasionally walk around the island kissing the back of her neck. He finally set a plate of chicken and steamed vegetables in front of her. She crossed her legs on the stool and began to eat ravenously.
"It's incredible how much amazing sex stimulates your appetite." she said between one mouthful.
"Yep." he said watching her and rapidly cleaning up the kitchen. "Why don't you finish up and I'll get the stuff out of the car." She nodded because her mouth was full and watched as he disappeared from in front of her. She ate silently looking around the kitchen and out on to the dark grounds through one of the plate glass windows. It seemed to stretch on endlessly into the black night. She set down her fork and stood walking to the window. She cautiously leaned over the counter to try to see more. "What are you looking at?" she heard in her ear.
"God!" she said jumping as she turned around. "You scared me."
"Sorry." he said opening the freezer.
"I'm just not used to someone being able to sneak up on me like that." she said resting a hand on her pounding heart. She slowly walked back to her seat and watched as he emptied a small red and white cooler of blood bags into the freezer and pouring one of them into the glass. She set down her fork and watched as he sipped from the glass. "You didn't have to bring those." she said. "You can feed from me."
"Not enough to sustain myself." he said. "I wouldn't ask that of you."
"But-"
"Just drop it." he said. "I'm fine with the blood bags."
"Ok." she said dropping her eyes to her plate. "I didn't mean to- I'm sorry."
"Don't worry." he said finishing the glass. "You don't have to be sorry." He quickly rinsed the glass and put it in the sink. She walked over the the sink and started to rinse her plate but he took it from her. "Hey I'll take care of it." He rinsed the plate as she stepped back. "Come on I want to show you something else."
"There are more rooms here?" she said following him out of the kitchen.
"No." he said leading her up the stairs again. He took her into the library he had shown her earlier and lead her towards a set of glass doors. "Close your eyes." he said before he pulled back the curtains. She closed her eyes and could tell by the gentle rush of wind that he had opened the doors. He lead her through them slowly and guided her hands to the banister. He stood behind her pressing his chest into his back. "Ok open them." She did and gasped.
The view before her looked unreal. There was an enormous glassy lake reflecting tall mountains and the yellow moon. The night air was cool and crisp and was only made better as he wrapped his arms around her. "This is incredible." she murmured.
"This view is my favorite part of the whole house." he said. "Especially on nights when the moon looks like this."
"It's beautiful." she said smiling. Damon turned her around.
"You're beautiful." he said running his finger along her bottom lip. She looked up at him gazing at the moonlight reflected in his eyes. She ran her hands up his chest looking up at him. He slowly leaned into her and kissed her softly. She closed her eyes leaning into the banister.
"This night is perfect." she said pulling back slightly. "Everything about it, the view, the house, you." She held his face. "Especially you. I don't know how I got through anything before you. You hold me up in ways I never even knew I needed."
"And you changed me back into the person I used to be." he said. "I was so angry and filled with so much hate-"
"Stop." she said. "We all have our pasts. You know mine and I know yours. What matters now is who we are, together."
"Even the way you think is beautiful." he said stroking her hair. She kissed him again gripping his back. He turned her around deepening the kiss as he backed her through the library. He kept moving her back the kiss growing hungrier when her back finally hit a wall. He pinned her arms above her head but instead of feeling trapped she felt protected under him. His hands slid down her body and she wrapped her arms around him.
"You know this is the first time in a while I've felt truly happy." she said looking up at him.
"You make me feel alive." he said. "More alive then I ever was human." He leaned down kissing her collarbone and we swept his arm behind her knees and picked her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him as he carried her slowly back to the bedroom. He set her gently down on the bed crawling over her as he kissed her thighs and her stomach. He flicked open the button and gently pushed the shirt off her shoulders. She sat up so he could pull it off and pressed herself against his chest. She pressed her nails into his back moaning as he rubbed his hands down her lower back. She rubbed her smooth leg along him and she heard him groan. Suddenly he dropped his head and pulled away from her.
"What is it?" she said sitting up. She stroked his face and turned him back towards her. Black eyes looked back at her and her heart rate spiked as she tried to stifle a gasp.
"Sorry." he said.
"Don't be." she said stroking his face as she kissed the black veins under his eyes.
"I know it freaks you out." he said.
"It doesn't." she said. "It just surprised me." She kissed him deeply, feeling the sharp points of his fangs along her tongue. "Bite me." she murmured into his mouth.
"I don't need to-" he said.
"I want you to." she said rubbing her hands over his chest. "I want you to bite me and I know you want to."
"Elena-" he said catching her wrists.
"Please." she said gently. He ran his hand up her bare back and tangled his hands in her hair. He tilted her head to the side and she held her breath in anticipation. He kissed the point where her jugular throbbed before he bit down gently. She gripped his back as he drank slowly. "Oh god." she moaned and he bit down harder as it vibrated through her throat. She dug her nails into her back as he swallowed deeper running his tongue along her skin. He pulled back and she whimpered at his absence. "You don't have to stop, I'm fine." she said trying to pull him back but he caught her arms.
"Elena I'm trying to learn to control myself." She caught his eyes lingering at her neck before he locked onto her eyes again. "Let me."
"Ok." she said. "I get it, I understand." She watched as he bit his wrist and offered it to her. She took his arm slowly looking up at him. She bent down to his arm pressing her lips to the wound slowly. She took one long swallow and pulled away biting her lip.
"Hey, you need to take more then that to heal the bite." he said.
"You said I could get addicted, I'm just trying to control myself." she said looking up at him.
"Well just drink, slowly, and I'll tell you when to stop." he said. "I'll help you practice control if you help me." She looked at him as he offered his wrist again. She took it in her hand and leaned into his chest. He watched as she swallowed slowly, her eyes shut. He stroked her hair, watching the wound on her neck close. As it closed completely he kissed her forehead pulling his arm away. She licked her lips, slowly exhaling. "Good." he said leaning down to kiss her again.
"I know this weekend was supposed to be non-stop sex but would you hate me if I wanted to sleep? I promise you can wake me up as soon as the sun rises."
"Go ahead and sleep." He said smiling. "I have you for two more days." She laid down in the soft mattress as he lay next to her. She draped her leg over him burying her face in his chest. He watched her smile as she rubbed her hand along her back. As he felt himself falling asleep he murmured into her ear. "I love you." He drifted off to sleep but Elena lay awake feeling Damon breathe deeply against her.
"Damon?" she said quietly watching him for a response but he didn't stir. "Damon?" she said slightly louder running her thumb along his face gently but apart from his smirk sliding over his face there was no response. "I'm so sorry." she whispered. "I don't know why I can't say it. I try to open my mouth to say it and nothing comes out. I want to say it, I do. I see how much it hurts you when I don't. Some part of me is still so scared that when I say it-" she stopped feeling tears well up in her eyes. "God I shouldn't even think this- But some part of me is still scared that this is too good to be true, that someone like you who understands me so completely could be real. Some part of me is still so scared that once I say it I'll find out this is just some awful plan to get back at Stefan. I know I that you would never do that to me but god I'm still so scared." She wiped her eyes looking at Damon. "But I do. I lo-" Damon muttered something in his sleep and she instantly clasped her lips shut. "I do." she said. She laid against him and finally let herself sleep.
Part one of the amazing weekend! My inbox has been flooded with all of you wanting me to post this chapter. I wanted to post this for all of you but I had a couple things that I struggled with. I literally rewrote the last few pages six times before they made me happy. I will try to post the next chapter soon but school is starting to pick up so I may have less time then usual to write but I'll do my best! But... lots of reviews tends to make me ignore my schoolwork! *hint hint*
