Elena woke up drumming her fingers against the soft cotton of Damons shirt. "Morning." he said. "Or...night." He said glancing up at the dark window.
"You're making me nocturnal." she said.
"Hey you were half asleep before I walked in." he said. "Don't blame me."
"Did you seriously just drive straight here from the house without stopping?" she said tilting her head. He nodded running his fingers through her hair. "Pretty much as soon as you said Stefan was here I didn't take my foot off the gas pedal."
"I don't really think he's going to attack me." she said. "Just..molest me a little."
"You haven't met angry Stefan." he said.
"Sure I have." she said. "What about when he found out about us?"
"That was pissy Stefan." he said. "That was mildly pissed Stefan."
"Are you serious?" she said. "He nearly put you through my wall. Seriously there's a dent there!"
"Yeah if he was really angry he would have thrown me through the window...into a tree...then staked me."
"So you think he's angry?" she said glancing at the door.
"I think he's getting there." he said. "And he's trying to win you back and your fighting him. He's not used to that, especially for someone who loves me."
"Well then we should lock the door." she said.
"You realize that with vampires that's basically a symbolic gesture, right?" he said as she stood turning the lock and then climbing into bed again.
"He can't blame us for barging into a locked room." she said climbing over him and kissing him slowly.
"No he can't." he said his hands coming to rest on her hips. "Now if I remember correctly you promised to be extra loud."
"Well give me a reason to be extra loud." she said smiling.
"That's my girl." he said sliding his hand under her shirt.
"I really like being your girl." she said. "Have I mentioned that?"
"A couple times." he said. "But I don't mind." She lay against him kissing him slowly.
"I like being near you." she said. "I'm trying not to be so clingy but I just...I kind of ache when you aren't here."
"That's not being clingy." he said. "But this shirt is, let's take it off." She laughed a little as he pulled it over her head.
"Smooth line." she said.
"I've been awake for five minutes and my gorgeous girlfriend is topless. You can't expect me to be clever all the time."
"I can forgive you if you kiss me senseless." she said.
"Deal." he said kissing her softly. He bit at her lip pulling at it. She whimpered a bit leaning forward into him.
"I love you." she said pulling his shirt over his head. They both shucked off the rest of their clothes and lay back together.
"I love you too." he said. "God I really love you." He kissed up the side of her neck and her eyes fluttered closed.
"Bite me." she moaned.
"Elena I shouldn't." he murmured against her neck.
"I had some of your blood in the car on the way back." she said running her hands through his hair. "It's only fair."
"I'm trying to cut back." he said rubbing his lips against her neck and she could tell his fangs were already out.
"I know you want to." she said pulling her hair back from her neck. "And it's not hurting me. I like it. I want it. Please."
"Jesus I can't stand it when you beg." he said and she felt him buck up against her. He sunk his fangs into her neck and she moaned loudly clutching at him.
"Good to know that works." she said her eyes rolling back.
"I need to be inside you." he said licking at her neck.
"Yes, do it." she said and he thrust inside her biting into her neck harder. She shrieked loudly her hands digging into his shoulders. He pulled back smiling as she arched back rolling her hips against him. He laid one hand on the small of her back rolling her over so he was laying over her. Her hands went to his back scratching red lines across it as he sucked from her neck. Just as she started to feel the effects of the blood loss he pulled back licking his lips.
"You ok?" he said his hips slowing a little.
"Yeah... fine." she said. "Now keep going, please." she said whimpering a bit at the end.
"It is not fair the things your voice does to me." he said his hips snapping against hers. He bit into his wrist and held it to her mouth. "Come on drink." She pressed her lips to his skin and drank from the already closing wound.
"Guess I owe you again." she said as she licked her lips.
"You don't owe me anything." he said kissing her again. "You are beautiful. You are so incredibly, unbelievably amazing." He kissed her again and she wrapped her arms around his neck. His hips rolled against hers and she moaned louder as he pressed deeper inside her. When there was a loud bang she looked up where she saw Stefan standing in the hallway her door ricocheting of the wall. His jaw was clenched, his fists were balled up and he was glaring at the two of them. She looked away from him and back to Damon.
"I love you." she said to Damon kissing him again. The door slammed shut behind them but she didn't even flinch.
"I'm assuming that was-" Damon said starting to turn over his shoulder.
"As far as I'm concerned you and I are the only people in the world." she said. "Don't think about anything else." He smiled kissing her again and she wrapped her legs around him as he thrust against her.
Later Elena lay on Damon's chest as he ran his hand up and down her bare back. "So I thought the plan was obnoxiously loud sex to annoy Stefan."
"It was." she said. "But then I realized I don't really care what he thinks about us. Before when I was angry and..."
"I had erased your guilt."
"I wasn't blaming you." she said. "But when I was dangling our relationship in front of him before it didn't make us any stronger or me any happier. In the long run I would like him to accept us and thats not going to happen by me being a bitch."
"You think he'll accept us?" he said.
"Not right away." she said. "But in the long run..."
"I'm just warning you he's very good at holding a grudge." he said. "Don't hold your breath."
"He's still your brother." she said.
"You're amazing you know that?" he said.
"I've been told." she said. "So we're driving back tomorrow morning?"
"Yep." he said. "Thats what you want right?" she said.
"Yeah." she said. "I'll just have to tell Jenna Caroline and I stopped by your house on our way back. Then you can just drive me straight home."
"Ok." he said. "So are you brave enough to venture downstairs to grab dinner?" he said. "I got some pre-made stuff for you and a blood bag for me so we just have to run down and grab it out of the fridge."
"Ok..." she said. "Time to be brave." She stood pulling on her jeans and Damon's jacket zipping it up. "Give me a little courage." He pulled her into him kissing her softly.
"Ready?" he said.
"I guess." she said.
"I could just go down there and grab stuff for both of us." she said.
"No." she said. "Stefan's less likely to kill you if I'm there."
"Good point." he said. He squeezed her hand and they walked out her door and down the steps. For a minute she thought they were actually going to get away without seeing Stefan but as they rounded the corner into the kitchen he was sitting at the counter. Elena looked away from him and towards the fridge squeezing his hand trying desperately to convey the message Don't provoke him. He squeezed back and she opened the fridge.
"Working awful hard to prove you two are happy." he said.
"Yes." said Damon. "Behind our closed door. Very showy of us."
"Don't." she said taking out her sandwich and a bottle of water. She pulled out the blood bag and tried to hold all three evenly.
"Why are you still bothering with blood bags?" said Stefan. "Isn't that what she is to you?" Elena slammed the door a little harder then necessary.
"She's not a blood bag." snapped Damon.
"Well you have to admit I'm much cuter then all those deer you've been sucking down." said Elena. "Come on Damon, let's go." She looped her arm through his and pulled him out of the kitchen. She pulled him towards the stairs and then walked up the stairs ahead of him. He followed after her quickly and she slammed the door once they were both inside.
"For the record I also agree you are much cuter then deer." he said taking the blood bag from her. "And I admire the sass."
"I just couldn't take anymore of that self righteous attitude." she said. "I snapped."
"I liked it." he said. "You should snap more often."
"I shouldn't." she said. "You've met bad Elena she's fun at first then gets scary."
"I've always been a fan of a good horror movie." he said. "Come on let's eat. Then we can go to bed and drive home tomorrow."
"I'm not really tired." said Elena taking a bite of her sandwich.
"I said bed not sleep." said Damon grinning before starting to sip from the blood bag.
"Gotta love the specifics." she said and he nodded smiling.
