Damon felt pretty good after the short flight he took Bonnie's family on. For the most part, it appeared as though they enjoyed seeing Cove's Neck from a plane and it wasn't a complete disaster. He noticed that Abby and Rudy had relaxed a little, but Sheila was still giving him a look that could suck out his soul. He now knew where Bonnie got her death stares from. Following the flight, the group stopped at a coffee shop on the way back to the bed and breakfast and Damon realized that he could have a moment with Shelia.

"I could have got that for you," Damon stood next to her as she put sugar in her coffee.

"That is quite all right, I don't need you buying me anything."

Damon blinked. This was much harder than he thought it would be, but then he realized—this was Bonnie's grandmother. Bonnie drove a hard bargain and he was positive that she got it from Ms. Shelia Bennett, "Ms. Bennett, I know that you don't have a reason to like me…"

"You know Damon, I watched my daughter over there…" Sheila gestured towards Abby and Rudy, "fall in love with a good-looking, charismatic and intelligent man. A man that she said made her feel wonderful and one that she believed was the one for her…"

"Ms. Bennett…"

"Annnnndddd…" Sheila raised her voice to silence Damon, "I watched her get her heart broken by that same good looking, charismatic and intelligent man. Then I watched my Bonnie fall for the detective and I watched him break her heart and then, you came around and I actually liked you. But what happened there, you broke her heart, hooked up with someone else and then asked her to get you out of trouble. My daughter and my granddaughter have hearts of gold. They forgive when they shouldn't and they give second and third chances. Bonnie says that you are sorry. She also says that you have pledged to spend every day making everything up to her. Those words sound flowery and nice, but your actions are what matter. There are no more chances after this," Sheila declared, "my Bonnie deserves to be happy and deserves to have someone that respects her, loves her and makes her smile. You will be that man for her or you need to get the hell out of the way."

"Ms. Bennett, I understand why you dislike me. I get it. What I did to Bonnie was horrible and I don't deserve a second try, but Bonnie gave me one and I don't plan to disappoint her or you. I love her. I want her and I do hope to prove it to her and to you…"

Sheila twisted her mouth and gave him a begrudgingly smile, "You asking her to be your partner was a good move."

"I meant it."

"You better," Sheila answered.

Bonnie stood by the bar nursing a lemon drop martini waiting for the rehearsal for the wedding to begin on the ground of the Salvatore mansion. The day had been filled with spa treatments and alcohol. Lily Salvatore had a love for vodka and she made sure that everyone around her learned to love it too. She had to drink two cups of coffee to get herself together for this rehearsal, Elena and Caroline's cheeks were pink and they were laughing hysterically at everything. Bonnie was thankful for her beautiful melanin tan at the moment as well as her ability to say 'No' to a Salvatore.

"And how much did my mother have you ladies drink tonight?" Stefan stood beside her at the bar.

"You don't even want to know."

Stefan shook his head with an amused smile, "Nice."

Bonnie turned to Stefan, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know where Damon took my family today would you?"

"Nope, I wouldn't…but you can ask him yourself," Stefan gestured towards the patio where Damon had just stepped out on. Bonnie wasn't sure if it was the heat from the summer day or the fact that she had one too many martinis, but he looked good enough to lick. She found herself smiling widely at the mere thought as Damon made his way down towards her and Stefan.

"Well now that Damon has finally arrived, maybe we can begin," Stefan looked over at Damon before walking over to the minister who was speaking with Elena and her father.

"Hey," Damon stated kissing her on the cheek while wrapping an arm around her waist, "how was your day?"

"Good…where did you take my family," she rushed out.

He chuckled, "You haven't called them to make sure that I didn't kidnap them?"

"I called, they didn't answer," she pouted causing him to laugh and loudly, "Damon…"

"Ok…thank you everyone for coming, I think we can begin!" the minister announced.

"Well I guess we have to get this going, we will talk at the rehearsal dinner," Damon winked at her, "and by the way, that dress…" he whistled shaking his head and walking away from her.

"Damon," Bonnie hissed following behind him.

After the actual rehearsal, the wedding party and some out of town guests gathered downstairs at the bed and breakfast for dinner. Damon and Stefan spent most of their time with their father and some uncles from out of town, while Elena introduced the Gilberts to the Salvatores. Bonnie sat at the table with her parents and Sheila finishing their meals, "So how was your day?" Bonnie asked with a smile reminisce of a child expecting the worst.

"It was…memorable," Abby looked at Rudy who nodded.

"Memorable? What did you do?" Bonnie asked searching their faces, "did you go to a restaurant? Did he show you the town? Maybe the golf course?"

"Bonnie, is there something you want to know?" Sheila asked.

"Yes…what did you all talk about, where did you go? He won't tell me."

"He took us up in his plane Bonnie," Rudy informed her, "and he's pretty good at piloting. I was impressed."

"He took you on his plane."

"Yes, Wild Spark," Abby beamed.

Bonnie felt a tremor go through her body. She remembered the first time he took her up on that plane and it was also the first time they had a real kiss. That's when she knew that things were definitely taking a turn for them. That moment and those feelings seemed like a lifetime ago.

"Yes, he took us on the plane and it was nice," Sheila added, "I also had a chance to speak with him."

Bonnie braced herself watching her parents get up from the table and walk over to the bar. She instantly frowned. Sheila was always the hardest to impress and while she was thankful for that, she was also apprehensive. If Sheila believed that Damon wasn't trustworthy at this point—Bonnie had to admit that she would have to think about whether she was truly seeing things as they were or as she wanted them to be.

"I believe that he is being honest when he says that he wants to start over with you. I think he understands what he did to wreck what you two had before and it won't happen again. I don't believe he wants to lose you," Sheila began, "and I think more than anything, he wants you to be happy and he will do anything to make that happen. It will take some time before I'm a Damon fan completely, but I like what I've seen so far. I know your career is important to you and I always believed that you should be calling the shots in your professional life and I think he helped you see a way to do that. That is one of the most loving and supportive things that a person can do. I love you Bonnie and I will never stop being your biggest fan, I want you to be happy…does he make you happy?"

Bonnie looked over at Damon laughing with his father and Stefan, "He does Grams."

"Then I know that this will be a surprise, but I am going to say…trust that heart of yours. I've seen you become so much stronger, so much self assured and so much happier over the last year or so and I want it to continue," Sheila replied, "but know this, it can continue with or without Damon by your side…but it's nice to have him there, I presume…" Sheila looked over.

Bonnie looked over, "Yes…it is."

"Now, let me go over there and break up whatever is going on at that bar…I'm sending Abby over here, I need to have a little chat with Rudy," Sheila slid off of her chair and walked over to Rudy and Abby. Bonnie watched Sheila pull Rudy to the side and Abby shook her head walking over to Bonnie.

"My mother," Abby plopped down next to Bonnie.

"She cares about us," Bonnie took her mother's hand, "she doesn't want us to get hurt…well not anymore than we already have."

"I think we've learned a lot."

Bonnie nodded before looking over at Abby, "Does Daddy know that William will be coming to the wedding tomorrow?"

"I told him."

"And?"

"He said he's happy for me. There's really no other choice at this point Bonnie."

Bonnie smiled, "Good."

"Besides, this wedding will have single women and I'm sure your father will have no problem working the room."

"Mom…"

"Rudy is…who he is," Abby shrugged.

Bonnie looked over at her father shaking his head at Sheila and laughed. She would go save him at some point, but not any time soon.

"Well that was a fun dinner, Elena met the extended Salvatore family. My father was on good behavior, my mother was subdued because of all of her martinis, your parents and grandmother didn't make me feel like they would throw me out of the plane…it was a good day," Damon followed Bonnie into her room at the B&B, "and I think I may have won over your grandmother, maybe not 100% but a strong 80%."

"Mm, hm," Bonnie stated kicking off her shoes and placing her purse on the table.

"And Stefan…I think the nerves are getting to him. He's way more sarcastic than usual."

"Elena must have asked me what time the hairstylist was coming at least 15 times times tonight," Bonnie chuckled, turning on the television to one of those music stations and a soft love song filled the room.

"Tomorrow is going to be busy…mostly because those two are going to act like two nervous teenagers," Damon went on watching Bonnie move closer to him, wrapping her arms around him. He looked down at her. Bonnie smiled up at him as they moved into a slow sway to the music, sometimes she had to marvel at how far they've come. From the moment he walked into that restaurant, to the moment he arrived in the courthouse…they'd been on a rollercoaster. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it was beyond bad—but things were changing for them, they changed and the past was just that…the past. You never forget, but you do forgive and move forward.

"So once this is done and we head back to Mystic Falls, maybe we can think about a trip together. Just us, where we don't have to cater to Stefan and Elena's whims."

"We can do that," she whispered.

"Hey…what's that look for?" he looked down at her raising an eyebrow.

"I love you," she answered him as his eyes twinkled, "and I never stopped loving you, but I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure if I could give you my heart again. Now. I am. I believe you when you say that things have changed and things are different. You have made a point to show me things are different and that you are committed to making them different. I trust you and I love you."

Reaching up, Damon softly moved her hair out of her face. He studied her beautiful eyes for a few moments, "Bonnie Bennett…I want to make love to you tonight," he whispered before bending down and kissing her in a soft, but yet passionate kiss on the lips and then on the neck. Bonnie moved her neck to give him more access while he slowly unzipped her dress causing it to fall and pool at her feet. She took an intake of breath and let out an amused giggle as Damon wrapped his arms around her lifting her up never breaking their kiss and carried her over to the bed. He licked his lips as he removed his jacket, throwing it on the floor. His shirt soon followed and then his pants. Bonnie stuck her finger in her mouth and nibbled on its for a few moments, for the first time—she understood what Madonna meant in that song. He gently wrapped his arm around her body lowering her to the bed. She placed her hands on his cheeks drawing his head closer to hers as they kissed hungrily. Bonnie felt him slowly removing her panties and her bra never once breaking their kiss. She moaned softly when he moved to her neck sucking gently. She giggled as he moved her arms over her head and laced his fingers through hers. The anticipation to this moment was almost too much for her to bear, "I love you," Damon whispered in her ear.

"I love you too," she whispered meeting his gaze before lifting her head slightly kissing him as he positioned himself between her legs and slowly entered her. She gasped a bit as her body adjusted to him and she closed her eyes breathing out slowly as they moved in a steady rhythm.

Damon tightened his fingers around Bonnie's as they moved in a coordinated rhythm allowing the moonlight to illuminate their bodies. The tightness that he encountered when his body joined with hers threatened to see him on the edge quickly, but he refused to let that moment come. He had waited months for this and it wasn't just because he loved making love to her—it was because when they did make love, his love and connection to her was indescribable. He could feel his release building and he recognized the familiar hitch in her breath and he was unwilling to allow this to end. He retreated from her valley for a moment and kissed a trail from her neck, between her brown mounds and down to her stomach, where he allowed his tongue to circle around her navel eliciting a giggle from her, "Damon," she laughed.

"What?" he looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.

"We're in a Bed and Breakfast," she whispered looking down at him, "the walls are thin."

"Uh, huh…let's see if you can control yourself," he gave her a sneaky grin, before moving his head to her inner thigh.

"Damon…what are you…oh my god!" she gasped as she fell back on the bed clutching the sheets.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

She felt the tendrils of hair falling in her eyes, felt the light sheen of sweat on her forehead as she bit her lip lying on her stomach as he kissed her back one last time, before collapsing next to her on his back. Bonnie looked over with a smile on her face, she wasn't positive but she hoped and prayed that the walls of her room were thicker than she previously thought. Her entire body felt like it was floating on a cloud and she couldn't move even if she wanted to. Lying on her stomach, covered just by a sheet was all she needed at that moment.

"It's almost 4," she mumbled looking over at Damon, who was lying on his back with his eyes partially open.

"You don't say," he said turning on his side and rubbing her back gently.

"Damon…" she warned him.

"What?"

"We have to be up in a couple of hours for the wedding of two people that we care about very much," Bonnie argued.

"So what are you saying?" Damon searched her eyes.

"That we absolutely can not go for round 4," she shook her head.

"4…I thought it was 5…well for you, it was 5," he wiggled his eyebrow causing her to gasp, "You lie!" she shrieked at him, "but we need to at least get in the shower and then get some sleep," she slid out of the bed and stretched. Damon admired Bonnie's naked form and licked his lips, "You coming?" she looked over her shoulder.

"Not yet…but I will again soon," he slid out of bed following her into the bathroom.

"I would say that was a good effort to make up for lost time," Damon drew circles on Bonnie's leg resting on his.

"Perfect ending to a perfect night," she stated with her eyes closed and then opened them slowly, "I have to admit, there was a time that I thought we would never be able to get to this point again—but here we are," she lifted her leg and moved closer to Damon reaching up and caressing his cheek, "here we are with everything on the table. I trust you and I love you," she whispered kissing him softly on the lips. He held her head there for a few moments caressing her cheek with his thumb.

"You know Bonnie Bennett, you keep saying things like that to me and I may just ask you to marry me tomorrow."

"Damon Salvatore, don't you dare do that," Bonnie laughed.

"Maybe one of these days," he stated wrapping her in his arms and closing his eyes. Bonnie placed her hands on top of his. She realized in that moment that those words he just uttered were not words that she dreaded to hear or words that made her want to run away, they were words that made her want to stay wrapped in his arms forever.

"Bonnie!"

Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Bonnie!"

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Bonnie popped up in bed and looked towards the door to her room, Damon was asleep next to her with his arm slung around her.

"Bonnie, are you in there! It's already 9!" Caroline called through the door.

Bonnie jumped out of the bed, grabbing her robe on the chair and rushed over to the door. She tied the robe closed and opened the door, "Caroline…I'm sorry, I overslept."

"We have to get Elena's suite in a couple of minutes, how much did you drink last night?" Caroline peered around her, "you look like you've been up all night."

"Well we kinda were," Damon walked up behind Bonnie wearing buttoning up his shirt from the previous night.

Caroline's eyes went wide and wide smile spread across her face, then she raised an eyebrow, "Oh I see. Bonnie, you have 15 minutes to say goodbye and then get your ass to Elena's suite."

"Thanks Caroline," Bonnie shook her head closing the door and turning to Damon, "you couldn't resist could you?"

"I thought I would throw her the bone and I bet she forgot all about chastising you for being late," he moved closer wrapping his arm around her, "so you owe me," he whispered before kissing her on the forehead, "see you at the altar."

"At the altar," Bonnie repeated staring into those seducing, but peaceful blue eyes.

"I can do this right?" Elena paced in the house before the processional began to play. She was dressed in her A-line white dress, hair up in large curls and a veil covering her face. She looked like a Southern Belle who was seconds away from meeting her soldier at the altar for their wedding. Bonnie stood in her long, one shoulder, cobalt blue maid of honor gown. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her bouquet of cobalt blue roses was in her hand. The work the make up artists did on her that morning was nothing short of magical. She spent most of the night awake with Damon, making love and conversing. It was what she missed between them—what was missing between them previously.

"You can definitely do this," Bonnie smiled, "the weather is beautiful, the music has started, Stefan is waiting for you…"

"You're right…right," Elena smiled, "I love you, Bon."

"Love you too," Bonnie hugged her tightly.

"Ok it's time!" the wedding planner came in clapping her hands.

Bonnie looked over at Elena and smiled. She then made eye contact with Caroline who was gathering her girls up to be flower girls. Bonnie took a deep breath; she wasn't sure why she was nervous. Maybe she was nervous to see Damon in the daylight after their night together. The thought of what they did made a warmness spread throughout her body—perhaps they could dip out of the reception early. She smiled and shook her head at the thoughts that ran through her head.

She watched as the doors opened and Caroline began her descent down the aisle. Bonnie craned her neck to see Damon and Stefan waiting at the end of the aisle. Her insides turned to mush as she counted to 10 and then stepped out outside onto the grounds of the Salvatore mansion. She immediately made eye contact with Damon and he winked at her. She smiled like a little school girl and everyone else melted away.

"And now, Mr. Stefan Salvatore and Dr. Elena Salvatore will begin their first dance," the band leader announced as the band began to play Unchained Melody.

"Lovely wedding," Damon stood next to Bonnie.

"It really was," she added watching Elena and Stefan sway and grin at each other.

"Hmm…I think we will see a better one in the future," Damon whispered in her ear.

"Now, the newlyweds have requested that the wedding party and their parents join them on the dance floor," the DJ announced.

"Shall we," Damon held out his hand.

Bonnie looked down at it, "We shall," she took his hand as he twirled her onto the dance floor.

They swayed to the music for awhile and then Damon looked down at her, "You know, there was one thing that I couldn't stop thinking about during the wedding," Damon swayed from side to side with Bonnie.

"What?" she looked up at him.

"Our future…" he met her gaze.

"Tell me about it," she swayed with him.

Now, I have some bad news…this fic is slowly winding down. The next chapters will give you a glimpse of what's to come in Bamon's future. I hope you enjoyed this and will enjoy the rest.
