Chapter 4:

That night Stefan sat at the table listening to his brother smooth talking Elena, who was laughing and smiling. It wouldn't take much more of this until he would be beyond controlling the urge to punch his brother in the nose.

'Where is Cam? She said that she would be here.' Stefan thought that it would be nice to have a friendly face to help him control his anger. Camryn could always make him smile, ever since she was a little toddler.

He felt the change in the room when she breezed into the door of the busy restaurant. Eyes all over the room were automatically drawn to her. Normally Camryn was the type of woman that men noticed because she was pretty in that soft and innocent kind of way. She was pretty with just hints of the potential she had for true beauty being glimpsed at times. She didn't usually play up her looks. Tonight was different. She had brought out every trick in a woman's arsenal. Her normally curly auburn hair was styled straight with the end turning in a big wave to frame her face. She wore a purple shirt that sparkled slightly in the dim lights, the effect pulling the attention to her breasts and the one shoulder that the shirt didn't cover. The tease of skin more alluring than a blatant display. Stefan let his eyes travel down and he noticed a piercing in her belly button that glinted as she walked towards their table. He noticed then that she was wearing a denim skirt and heels that showed off her athletic legs. However amazing it all looked he was drawn back to her eyes. He saw that she had used her make up to enhance the green of his eyes. They seemed to glow against her skin. For the first time Stefan quit seeing the teenager that she had been years ago and saw instead the appealing woman she had become.

He stood when she made it to the table and hugged her hello. She turned and greeted Elena before walking around the table to sit next to Damon. Stefan didn't miss the appreciative glint in Damon's yes as he looked Camry over. He would have to warn her to watch herself around him.

"I'm sorry that I'm a little late. I had a little bit of work to do before I left." She turned her attention to Damon and smiled a flirtatious smile that had Stefan a little confused. "Hey Damon."

"Hello, Camryn. Nice shirt." She laughed but her reply was interrupted by the waitress coming up to the table to take Camryn's drink order and to see if the others were ready to order. They ordered and the conversation began to flow around the table.

Stefan was relieved when Damon didn't continue to monopolize Elena again. Later, he had to admit that dinner ended up being a pleasant affair, even if his brother had been there.

It seemed like it was the first time in decades that he and Damon had engaged in simple, pleasant conversation. They were sitting around sipping on their drinks after dinner when Camryn turned to Damon with a smile.

"That pool table just opened up. Damon let's see if you can do more than just look good." She stood up and waited for Damon to do the same. "I'll go get some quarters and meet you there." Once Damon said good bye and walked away she walked around the table to hug Stefan and whisper in his ear. "I'll keep him here for awhile. Take your girl for a romantic walk, Stefan." She kissed his cheek and said good bye to Elena before going to the bar and asking for some quarters and ordering a round of drinks for them. She was about to put her idea into motion. Only the morning would tell her if she was making a monumental mistake or not.

Damon was picking out a pool stick when she walked up to him with quarters in one hand and the two drinks in her other. She was smiling that flirtatious smile again. He felt like he was being stalked by a predator and he was the prey, not a feeling he was used to being on the receiving end of.

"You rack them and I'll break." Camryn told him as she handed him his drink and the quarters to put in his pocket.

"You are different tonight," he observed.

"Why, because I took my time to look nice?" She asked as he started to rack the balls.

"It's not that. Although you do look amazing. It's your attitude in general. You remind me of a vampire on the hunt. You walked in here tonight with an agenda." He paused and looked up at her, "I can guess since you got me over here at this table in the corner all to yourself that I was your intended catch." He moved up flush against hr and lowered his voice. "The question is, what are you going to do with me?"

She looked deeply into his blue eyes and let her lips quirk up into smirk. "Right now I'm going to kick your ass in pool, while we do that we are going to drink enough to make a frat boy envious and then later…we'll see." She backed away to lean over the table with her pool stick, leaving Damon with her taunting words hanging.

"We'll see? You know Camryn, I think you are being a tease tonight." He watched her break and two stripes sink into the pockets.

"Damon, teasing is such a naughty word. It implies the intention of not following through." Her green eyes were shining mischievously like emeralds. He had to admit to himself that they were stunning to look at. The game began both figuratively and literally.

As the night progressed Damon watched as she took every opportunity to tease him as they played the first game. He kept a steady stream of drinks coming and watched as the alcohol took away the seductive huntress and replaced her with the more natural and sexy Camryn. She made him laugh like he hadn't in a long time. She was fun to be around he realized. What drove Damon crazy was the way she would touch him when she had to walk past him or when she would get excited over something silly and wrap her arms around his neck to hug him. He didn't know why but it surprised him the Camryn was so tactile. The few times they had interacted she had always struck him as such an aloof person. He never thought she would be so "touchy".

"Damon, it is official. When you beat me at pool then I am far too tipsy to be playing anymore."

"I'm not that bad," he protested.

"You're right. You're not. I'm just that good. Now go pay our bill. While you do that I'm going to the bathroom." She walked away and he did as he was told. She was so assertive that it reminded him of Katherine. He caught up to her at the door and he wasn't surprised to see two men were trying to hit on her. Damon didn't even pause before wrapping his arm around her exposed midriff. The gesture and the way she leaned into him looked natural. The body language of the men changed.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Absolutely. It was nice of ya'll to keep me company while I waited." The men said goodbye and moved back toward the bar. Together Damon and Camryn walked to the parking lot.

"My truck is towards the back." She gestured vaguely towards the back of the lot.

"My car is right over here." Damon just led her towards his own car. He leaned her up against the passenger door and looked into her eyes. He stepped up to her and brought their bodies flush. While he gazed down into her smoky green eyes he brought one arm to wrap around Camryn's waist while the other dropped down to caress the exposed part of her thigh. Her skin was soft and incredibly warm under his fingers. Damon's crystalline blue eyes mirrored the lust in her green eyes.

"So Camryn, what did you have in mind for the conclusion of our evening? Should I take you home so your daddy doesn't get mad at your for tempting the big bad wolf? Or do we go to my place and see what happens?" Damon whispered as he nuzzled her neck. He felt her swallow and lean her neck to the side to give him better access. He kissed her gently on the exposed skin.

"I think you have known from the beginning what was going to happen tonight. As long as you understand that I'm just out to have a little fun…scratch an itch if you know what I mean. My dad doesn't have to know either, it's not like I'm going to be keeping you around."

"What if I want to keep you, Ryn?" She felt his lips caress her skin with each word and the sound of his husky voice using a nickname that he had given her, all of it making her shudder gently in his arms. This felt too good.

She laughed low and seductively, the sound of it going straight down to his arousal. He pushed himself harder against her.

"I'd like to see you try. I'm not like the other girls you've seduced. I know what you are, what you can do, and I'm every bit your equal. The sooner you realize this the sooner we can have some fun." She smiled at him. He was so handsome to look at and he felt incredible pressed up against her. She knew men like him couldn't be trusted, but it had been so long since she was genuinely attracted to a man. As long as she remembered who he was and this was only about pleasure she would be fine.

Damon knew that even though she was willing to share herself with him tonight that the chase was far from over. Tonight he would do things her way, but the next time it would be his way. She had no idea what plans h had for her. She would be fun to keep around until he got Katherine back. Besides she came with the added bonus of his involvement with her pissing both Stefan and Liam off. He smiled against her neck where he was kissing her.

"Get in the car, Camryn." He opened her door for her and helped her inside. Once the car started she leaned over to play with his radio. A familiar slow song came on and she started to quietly sing along. Doman just drove without talking. When they pulled up to the house Elena's car wasn't in the driveway and the boarding house was dark.

"I guess Stefan is having his own party tonight." Damon quipped as they got out.

"Don't be crass. I think it's cute, Stefan being in love." She told him and in the moonlight she saw him roll his eyes. She followed him inside she didn't have time to even get her bearings before he had shut the door and pinned her to it. He looked into her eyes and she felt like she could get lost in his.

'No. It's just fun, no feelings involved.' She thought. Camryn wrapped her arms around his neck and leveraged herself up to wrap her legs around his trim hips. Her skirt rode up to expose most of her thighs to his wandering hands. "Take me to a bed, Damon." She told him and he smiled before setting her down and taking her by the hand. She followed him upstairs to his room.

"Do you want a drink?" he asked.

"No thanks. I'm still a little tipsy even now." She looked around his room. It was impersonal. Nothing in the room spoke of the man Damon was. It was sad to her that even in his own home did he have a place to call his own. She looked at the antique bed and stepped closer to inspect the headboard.

"Disappointing." She commented and turned to look innocently at Damon who had moved away from the closed door and closer to her. He came up behind her and placed his hands around her waist, letting his thumbs caress the soft exposed skin. He couldn't deny that he liked the feel of her skin.

"What's disappointing, Ryn?"

"I don't see any notches on our head board." She heard his quiet laugh at her joke.

"I wouldn't want to ruin such a priceless family antique. I'll show you my collection later. I keep it hidden so I don't intimidate any of my innocents." He turned her around to face him. The height of her heels made her lips almost level with his own. Damon felt the slide of her body as she got up on her toes to initiate the kiss. He was happy to meet her half way. Camryn's lips were soft under his ad she readily accepted his tongue to tangle with her won. It was apparent in moments that she wasn't expecting a slow seduction. Doman smiled when she pulled back and bit his bottom lip.

"I'm going to be sorely disappointed if you're one of those guys that is all about slow and easy."

"If you don't want it slow and easy what do you want, Ryn?"

"What if I told you I wanted anything but slow and easy?"

Damon quirked his lips in a feral grin and let his eyes rake over her in a hot gaze. His voice was low when he answered.

"I'd say that we are over dressed." He had expected her to be like the other human women. They were all so fragile and had to be handled gently so his vampire strength didn't put a premature end to the fund. He had underestimated her.

He felt as her fingers deftly found their way under the hem of his grey t-shirt. She explored the contours of this chest while they continued to kiss. Camryn pulled away and licked her reddened lips. He watched her smile then watched as she reached out to whip his shirt over his head. He didn't waste any time helping her remove it. The button and zipper of his jeans were undone but she didn't remove them.

He watched as her eyes devoured the sight of his naked chest. He was impatient to get his first look of her body under her clothes but stood still and waited for her first move.

"Damon, you really don't need any help with your ego, but you are very easy on the eyes." He smirked before opening his mouth to reply.

"See, I knew you found me irresistible."

"I never denied that you are gorgeous. Only that you were the type of guy that couldn't be trusted. That has nothing to do with you being hot."

He was taken off guard when she planted a hand on his chest and pushed him roughly onto the bed. The force behind the push enough to make him bounced on the soft mattress. Sometimes it was hard to believe all that Stefan said about her, since she seemed so human. His anticipation grew as he watched her remove her top and skirt revealing that she was wearing a black lace thong and matching strapless bra.

Camryn stood unabashedly in front of him while Damon looked her over. She was more trim and muscular than he expected with the lush curves of a woman. He was fully aroused and ready for her to make the first move. He watched as she started to bend over to undo the straps of her heels.

"Leave them, "he instructed. "You look incredibly sexy right now." He all but purred the words out. He watched her eyes darken and her breathing hitch. She leaned over and caught his lips in a heated kiss. Without breaking contact Camryn straddled Damon's hips and pressed herself down onto him letting their bodies have full contact for the first time.

He kissed his way across her jaw and down to her neck where he kissed and licked the skin. He was pleased when she wiggled in enjoyment. He licked the pulse in her neck again.

"Damon, you don't get to bite me." She panted out the words, he didn't bother to respond and continued kissing her neck. Her hands each grabbed a handful of hair and she yanked his head back, his eyes shooting to hers. The pain of the action exciting him further.

"You don't get to taste. Okay?" Camryn demanded.

"I won't bite until you beg me to." He used his speed and strength to flip them thinking he could startle her. Instead she moaned and wrapped her legs around his hips brining them back into full contact.

"I think you are finally getting it. I'm not going to break. You can't hurt me. I'm not like other girls." She leaned up and bit his lip hard enough to draw a drop of blood. He licked the drop from his lip. The taste of his own blood and the fact that she had drawn it shot his arousal up to the point of no return.

It took only moments to remove all of their clothing. Damon kneeled between her legs and looked his fill. She was getting impatient. He knew they were both beyond being ready, but the anticipation build up could make everything so much more intense and he had every reason to want to make her crave him and have to come back for more. This was only the first round in the game he was just beginning with her. Camryn whispered his name and he gave in and gave her what they both wanted.

Later they lay exhausted in each other's arms. It was one of the most intense encounters Damon had ever shared with a woman outside of Katherine. It was also one of the very few times in the last century and a half that he had been entirely worn out by a woman.

Camryn's own thoughts were centered on one thing. She was in deep trouble. She had thought to help Stefan out by distracting his brother and at the same time help herself at the same time. There was only so much fun one could have by themselves, there were some itches that only a man could itch. Instead of having the quick bout of fun that she had envisioned with Damon she had underestimated that arrogant vampire. Once would not be enough.

'Just don't involve your heart, Camryn, only your body. Don't even allow yourself to like him and you'll be fine.' She immediately felt better and rolled over to straddle Damon's larger body.

"My turn to do the work," she said and he quirked his lips in response.

"I know that you grew up on a ranch. Have you ever ridden a bucking bronco?" He tossed out the cheesy line and she laughed in response.

Well there it is. I'd love to know what you think so far. I won't beg for reviews but it does help me to know that ya'll are enjoying reading it. Thanky much!
