Thanks for the kind reviews. Hope you like this one, please read in a room away from boyfriends!
"I'll think about it." Bonnie couldn't help herself, even after all that she'd been through recently Damon was so beautiful that no girl could resist him and he knew it. He was dangerous and it brought out the daredevil in Bonnie.
Damon laughed and Bonnies' heart skipped a beat. " I will await your decision then, right now I believe that you are wanted downstairs." Bonnie started, as if from a dream. When she was with Damon her passion and desire for him were just so intense and his beauty so hypnotic that she didn't notice anything else.
"Oh, right. Of course." Bonnie turned away with great difficulty and went down to the kitchen where two pairs of eyes turned to stare as she came into the room, "what?" she blushed. Ursilla smiled a knowing smile but said nothing, Bonnies' Gran frowned but said nothing.
"When will it be safe to go out?" Bonnie had suddenly noticed that the storm was still raging overhead and the house was shaking. "Not for a while yet. The Blue Men's storm will drag every human that ventures outside into the sea. I only hope that my wee bairns will be okay" Ursilla said.
"If you plan to return to the sea and your brother has set the Blue Men on your husband, then what will happen to your children?" Damon asked leaning casually in the doorway to the kitchen, Ursilla glared at him.
"They'll come with me, they have skins. I'll not leave my bairns behind." Ursilla became so incensed by Damon's remark that she had nearly spilt her hot toddy when she stood up.
Damon didn't say a word. One minute he was leaning in the kitchen doorway, the next Bonnie heard the front door open and close. Everyone looked at each other in shock for a second until Bonnie got up from the table and ran towards the front door, with her Gran and Ursilla close behind.
Bonnie opened the door and was thrown backwards off her feet by the force of the wind. As she struggled to her feet a hand shot out and pulled her to her feet, Damon held onto her hand just a little too long and said to her "stay inside where it's safe." With that, the front door shut and Bonnie was left staring at the closed door. A minute later she felt a huge shockwave of power, she turned to look at her Gran who had felt it as well, judging by the look in her face. "The storm's clearing, the Blue Men are retreating!" Ursilla exclaimed, "he's sending the Blue Men back to their caves." Ursilla sunk to her knees and began to weep, the door opened and Damon staggered through.
In no more than a minute, Damon had gone from immaculately dressed powerful vampire, to being weakened and windswept to the point that he collapsed in the hallway. "Ursilla, help me get him upstairs. Bonnie, go pull the blinds in the room next to yours and switch the lamp on." Bonnies' Gran ordered.
With some struggle they managed to get Damon upstairs and onto the bed. Ursilla removed Damons' shoes and Bonnie and her Gran removed his tattered leather jacket, then suddenly Bonnie was alone with Damon.
"Damon? Damon? Can you hear me?" Bonnie whispered, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible so he wouldn't hear that she was close to hysterical. "Yes, I can hear you Bonnie." Damon whispered as he opened his eyes slightly.
"Are you going to be okay?" Bonnie asked with a lump in her throat. Damon smiled slightly. "Eventually, yes." Bonnie gulped at the answer and rolled up the sleeve of her jumper, "you need blood don't you," it wasn't a question. Damon gratefully took her wrist and bit into it. It hurt- a lot but the pain eased a bit eventually and Bonnie felt as though she was floating on the clouds, a nice warm feeling.
Damon pushed her wrist away from him and wiped his mouth. "Thank you." His eyes had those strange lights in them that made Bonnies' heart flip flop and she suddenly felt light headed. "I'll be fine. You need to go and lie down, I took too much" said Damon, his voice full of concern .
"I'm not leaving you Damon. You're not well." Bonnie felt as though she was having a weird out of body experience, why was she saying these things to the vampire that was responsible for her leaving her husband and nearly wrecking the life of her best friend? "I'll be fine." he was trying to make her go away but his voice was weak and Bonnie could sense his powers were as well.
"Move over. I'm staying here then." she sighed as she sat on the bed. Damon looked at her in surprise and shock, but with a lot of effort moved over on the bed so that Bonnie could lie besides him.
"This doesn't mean I've made my choice." she said as she stared at the ceiling, Damon's eyes were making her feel dizzy. "I know" he whispered, but he stretched out his arm, Bonnie raise her head and laid it on his shoulder. Despite herself she shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
When she awoke Damon was standing at the window with his back to her and no shirt on. Oh god, thought Bonnie. Sensing she was awake her turned round and suddenly was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Welcome back, everyone was worried about you." His eyes and voice were hard, Bonnie sat up a bit quickly and felt dizzy. Suddenly Damon's arm was round her, supporting her and she looked up into his fathomless eyes with the lights dancing like stars in the night sky. He leaned towards her and she smiled weakly, her hand stroked his cheek and then he kissed her gently and ever so softly on the lips. Bonnie returned the kiss softly, her heart went into overdrive and she shut her eyes.
His lips were warm and gentle on hers and Bonnie felt a fire and intensity in it that she had never know in any of her boyfriends' kisses. She kissed him harder and she felt a subtle change as his canines began to grow, but instead of turning her off, the change made her press even harder and for what seemed like an eternity there were fireworks whizzing round her head whilst she was kissing Damon. The kisses became lighter and he started kissing her cheek and nibbled her ear which had such an effect on Bonnie that she nearly gasped out loud. Lighter and lower, Bonnie leant back obediently, she almost in a trance state when Damon's little feather kisses got to her throat and she barely noticed when his teeth punctured her skin, instead she felt as though she floating on a fluffy white cloud, she didn't want it to end. She started to feel an intense need and longing coupled with a fierce desire, it was though she was inside Damons' head feeling his emotions and the barriers were coming down.
Damon suddenly drew back and wiped his mouth with a tissue from his jeans pocket that Bonnie didn't even know was in there.
He smiled and bit his wrist, then he offered it to a wide eyed Bonnie who found herself grasping Damons' wrist, licking and sucking the blood hungrily while he had his eyes shut and his mouth open as though he were in ecstasy. In fact, Bonnie realised that she could feel that Damon was in ecstasy, as much as she was. Suddenly he pulled back and Bonnie saw that his face was it's usual unreadable mask.
"I think that's more than enough for the minute bella picolina." He smiled fondly at the shell-shocked redhead gasping for breath on the bed. Damon pulled his t-shirt on over his head, the muscles in his back rippling as the tight piece of cotton was pulled over them. Bonnies' eyes grew wider, she didn't feel she could cope with much more of this.
"Get some rest Bonnie, your supper will be ready in 10 minutes and you'll need to compose yourself." In the moment she took to what little bit of her senses that she had left together, Damon had opened the window in her room and was already halfway out. "Wait! Where are you going?" She asked, alarmed.
"I've got some business to take care of." and he jumped out of the window. Suddenly a crow flew up and away into the night sky, leaving Bonnie wondering if he was coming back.
Bonnie got up slowly and made her way down to the kitchen, where her Gran stormed over to her and lifted up her hair on both sides of neck. Bonnie winced as she touched the bite marks and anger flooded into her eyes. She suddenly felt ashamed of what she had let Damon do to her, especially since she had come all the way over to Scotland to prevent such a thing happening while she made her mind made up.
Throughout the whole meal Bonnie sat in silence while her Gran stomped and huffed her way round the kitchen, not uttering a word to her granddaughter. After leaving most of her meal, Bonnie went upstairs to her room and called Matt. She struggled to control the emotions in her voice, especially as his voice croaked when he answered with a desperate "Bonnie?"
"Matt. I. How are you?" Bonnie breathed, trying to remain calm.
"I'm… holding up. How are you?" It hurt her to hear the forced calm in his voice, he sounded almost cold. "I'm.. okay. I 'm sorry I crashed the car Matt. I'm sorry for everything, I didn't mean to hurt you. I , I just needed to hear your voice again, I've missed you so much. I have to go now, Bye Matt." Bonnie slammed the phone down, her emotions getting the better of her. She pulled on her jacket and slipped quietly downstairs and out the front door while her Gran was engrossed in watching television.
Once she was out of the house she ran and ran, not knowing where she would end up or even caring. Her heart was torn between the two and she was struggling to choose. Matt had always been there for her when she needed him, without questions or demands and she loved him very much. They had been friends before and she had admired him from afar when he was with Elena, but after she came back they had become closer somehow and everyone was so happy that they were going out and that things seemed back to normal at last. It had seemed only right that Matt propose and that they should get married.
But if she was honest with herself, Bonnie hadn't forgotten the day when they went to Vickie's house and for the first time she had sensed Damon's power with her psychic abilities, she was fascinated and drawn to it. She remembered grabbing the first thing that came to hand in her fear and finding herself attached to Damon's arm, but she also remembered the way he used his power over here and would have bitten her if Matt hadn't intervened.
But then there was the clearing after Klaus had practically killed Stefan and it was Bonnie and Damon left, when he dropped the act and they were just a boy and girl facing certain death. When Elena came back, Damon stood there on the edge of the circle of friends and Stefan went to invite him in but Damon refused- "I'm not like you." As he was looking at her, his shield slipped enough for Bonnies' powers to get a glimpse of the emotions that he was feeling.
Before she realised, Bonnie ended up at ColliGhilly, the tide was in and it was dark. She picked up a couple of stones and threw them with all her force into the sea, trying to take out all her frustration and pain on them. It didn't work. Ignoring the waves rushing up around her walking boots, Bonnie sat on the little rock behind her and started to cry for the first time she had left Fells Church, all the hurt she had been feeling suddenly overflowed. She had forgotten her Grans' warning about the Selkie men until she saw a handsome naked man with long brown hair come walking out of the sea towards her, she tried to make a run for it but she slipped and nearly fell on the rocks. The surefooted Selkie started running towards her, gaining ground when she slipped and then when she reached the beach he reached out and grabbed Bonnies' arms, forcing her down onto the beach.
Bonnie screamed at the top of her lungs as he tried to undo her jeans, the Selkie just laughed.
