I am back, with the longest chapter so far, I hope you'll like it :)

„And you're just going to leave, like that?" Stefan rose his voice to her.

„Yes, and I really don't get what exactly is your problem." Elena told him, irritated, while putting a white blouse in her suitcase. „It's just for a couple of days, what's the big deal? You're being childish."

„I am being childish? We're married, Elena, don't I get to have a say in all of this?" He told her, looking angrily in her direction.

„The fact that we're married doesn't mean you can control my every move!" Elena put down the dress she was holding and looked at him, fire dancing in her eyes.

„I am not..." he said, taking a deep breath to calm down, otherwise he felt like he was about to say something that would really get him in trouble. „I think I should know if my wife is going out of town, with a man she barely knows." He told her, his voice was low, his every word was carefully thought through.

„I trust Damon." Elena simply stated, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. „And you should trust me."

„It's not that I don't trust you, Elena!" His voice rose again, as Elena folded a pink dress and put it with her other luggage. „Have you ever thought this could be dangerous?"

„Of course I have! And like I told you, I am with Damon, and I have the FBI behind my back, what could happen to me? It's an official dinner, I doubt some lunatic will start shooting at us with a gun there." She replied sarcastically.

„Yeah, I doubt he's as good as he's telling you, he's been in the FBI for less than 10 years." He growled and rolled his eyes.

„He hasn't told me anything." Elena looked at him fiercely. How could he talk about him like that, when, obviously he didn't know Damon at all? „And you will be surprised at how good he actually is." She said, zipping her suitcase. „I'm going Stefan, and there's nothing you can say to stop me, we've talked about it already."

„No, Elena, you talked, I listened." He screamed at her. „You're unbelievable you know that?"

„Me? You're the one whose moods are changing faster than a woman on hormones! When you're in a bad mood the whole world is at fault!" She yelled back at him.

„Oh, really, that's weird, since you're the one I am tiptoeing around for the past year, because you don't have the strength to move past something that happened a year ago!"

It was a low blow. Elena instantly locked her eyes with his, and when she didn't hear an apology, she slapped him as hard as she could, and without saying a word, took her suitcase and left, slamming the doors behind her. She stood there, in front of her house, waiting for Damon to pick her up, and for Stefan to show up and apologize. Neither happened. She was so furious and hurt that tears appeared in her eyes. How could he tell her something like that? She knew it had taken her a lot of time to get her life back on track, but hearing him say this to her, really hurt her deeply, and he knew that. She heard a car approaching, and smiled as she saw Damon, and his black Lamborghini, getting closer to her. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, that were perfectly outlining his muscular body, and sunglasses on his face. He looked so good, it was unreal, Elena thought, and in this moment the car stopped, and he opened the door for her. She quickly slipped in it, fastening her belt. She turned to face Damon, who was looking intensely at her.

„What?" She asked, seeing him stare at her like that. „Is there something wrong with me?" she started looking for a mirror, but Damon stopped her.

„No, there's nothing wrong with you." He said, and his hand stood on hers a couple of moments more, then he pulled it away. „But why is the sad face? If you don't want to go, just say the word, and you're out of it." The truth was, he didn't know how he would be able to get an excuse for not taking her with him, but he would figure it out, if she felt scared, or not secure enough with him, he wouldn't take her along.

„No, it's not that, I want to come, it's Stefan, he... You know what, forget it, it's nothing." She said and smiled at him, she didn't even have to fake it, her whole expression lit up the moment she saw him.

He looked at her for a little while, and deciding he wouldn't push her to say anything more, until she was ready, he started the car and drove off.

„So, where are we going first?" Elena asked, opening the window and letting the wind blow in her face.

„To the airport." He simply said.

Elena swallowed and looked at Damon, fear filling her eyes.

„How did you think we were going to get there? By car?" Damon laughed at seeing her expression.

„Okay, I think now it's the right time to tell you that I am terrified of heights. And when I say terrified, I mean It's bordering to panic ."

Damon took his eyes off the road, and looked at her, to see her even more scared than before.

„Then I'll have to make you forget about it." He said cockily.

Elena looked at him surprised. Was she imagining things now, or was this really sounding more sexual than it was appropriate? She felt a wave of warmth going through her body, as she imagined the possible scenarios. After a few moments, she realized what she was doing, and she felt like slapping herself. This should stop, why had she even agreed to come here in the first place? It was going to be a long, long weekend, she thought to herself.

They got to the airport minutes later, passing through the security with no problems. They got in the plane and Elena instantly felt how her heart rate increased, her palms started sweating, her head got dizzy, and they were still on the ground. She and Damon moved to one of the back seats in first class, and Elena sat away from the window, leaving Damon to enjoy the view. He was just looking at her, the amused expression still on his face. They turned their phones off, and Elena sat back in her seat, taking deep breaths. After a few minutes the airplane took off, and she felt as they left the ground. She was trying her best to stay calm, but her heart was going to explode in her chest. When she heard a weird, gurgling noise, she jumped in her seat.

„Damon, what is this? We're so going to crash! Do you hear this noise, the engines are failing, we're going to die! At least they wouldn't have to kill me then." She said, sounding like a mad men. Her eyes were wide open, and she was trembling.

Damon took her by the shoulders, and made her face him.

„We're not going to crash! Do you hear me, we're not dying today, these are just normal noises that the airplanes make. The engines are definitely not failing" He told her, not breaking eye contact.

„But, Damon, how can you know? We're miles away from the ground, everything can happen up here." She continued to be stubborn.

He realized how deep her fear was, and motioned for her to come close.

„Come here," he said, and she moved closer to him. He put his arms protectively around her, and she put her head on his chest, her whole body curled up to his. She could feel his steady breathing, which calmed her down a little.

„Wow, girl, your heart is going to explode, relax, otherwise, you might really die today, but it won't be because the plane crashed." He tried to make a joke, and grinned as he saw her little smile. It was working. „Now, close your eyes." She did as told. „Imagine something, a good memory for example."

Elena remembered the days with her parents, when both of them were still alive, the family dinners the four of them used to have, how loud they all used to be. It was a house full of laughter and chatter, before it turned to the house of gloom and doom. They all used to sit around the table and start telling each other about their days, and since all of them wanted to talk, it was usually a real chaos, but it was one of Elena's best memories. She felt how she slowly drifted away, and soon after that she fell asleep.

„Wake up, sleepyhead." She heard a soft voice calling. She opened her eyes sleepily and found herself still in Damon's arms, their pose hadn't change in the slightest, only now, her heart was beating normally, her palms weren't sweaty, and she didn't feel dizzy. „We're landing in a minute" he informed her, which prevented her from losing it again. She didn't say anything, she just stood there, until she felt the airplane landing on a solid ground. She let out a sigh of relief and they both got out of the plane, passing through the security as easily as the first time. When she was finally able to talk again, she asked him:

„Where exactly in LA are we going?"

„Beverly Hils" Damon smirked.

They got to their hotel in silence, because Elena was enjoying the sights before her, she had never come here before, but she liked it. They got to their hotel, and when they got in it, Damon told her to stay where she was, and went to the reception, saying something to the woman there. She just nodded and gave him a key. A key. One key, Elena realized. Were they going to sleep in one room? Together? A shiver ran through her body at the thought but she put on her best efforts in not showing it. Damon, followed by a guy, who was carrying their luggage, motioned for her to come to the elevator. The three of them stood there, until it stopped at the 11th floor. When the boy left their luggage in front of one of the doors, she couldn't stop herself from asking.

„Are we going to sleep in the same room?" She blurted out.

Damon just laughed, and unlocked the door. Elena stepped inside and found herself in a spacious living room. A red sofa, two armchairs and a big plasma TV were situated in the middle. A mini-bar was standing in one corner, and Elena couldn't help but laugh, of course he would ask for a mini-bar. She saw the two doors in the opposite ends of the room.

„See? Two bedrooms. So technically we're not sleeping in the same room." He told her, smiling playfully.

She smiled back at him, and in this moment his phone rang, and he got in the other room. Elena turned the TV on, and relaxed on the sofa. This would be good for her, a few days away from everything, she could live with that. Moments later, Damon came out of the room, slamming the door angrily behind him. Just seeing his expression, Elena could say he was beyond mad.

„Hey, what's going on?" Elena said, getting up from the sofa.

„Remember that I told you there were other cases like this?" Elena nodded. „Well, the suspect we got in Chicago finally started talking, after some quality time, spent in jail."

„That's great!" Elena almost screamed.

„I am not done." Damon said darkly. „Apparently he wasn't standing very high, so he didn't know very much. But they managed to gather that tonight, at the dinner we're going, there will be a man, he's deeper in this „business" than the one we have, so he'll be really helpful."

„So you're going to get him in custody then?" Elena said, confused, she couldn't understand why he was so angry, this was a good thing.

„It's not that simple, Elena, I can't just arrest someone, because we have learnt, from a not very reliable source that he is involved." Damon explained to her, his expression still the same.

„So what are you going to do?"

„We have to bug him." Damon said, and his eyes locked with her, his serious gaze was burning into her. „Now listen to me, very carefully, this guy has a soft spot for beautiful women, and I was ordered, since, we're going in there anyway, that you should be the one to plant the bug on him." He swallowed, waiting for a reaction from her, but Elena couldn't say anything, she was too shocked. „Believe me, this is the last thing I want, but there is nothing I can do about, it do you understand? I know you're scared, but-"

„Scared?" Elena stopped him. „I am not scared Damon, I am just amazed that they chose me to do it. I want it."

„You do?" his eyes widened in surprise.

„Yes. Anything I can do to help." She smiled at him warmly, and felt how he relaxed a little bit.

„Okay then, listen now, when you get closer to him, the only thing you need to do is slip the little bug in his coat pocket."

„But what if he takes his coat off?" Elena asked.

„He won't. Believe me, at dinners like that, appearance is everything."

„He'll eventually take it off." The brunette insisted.

„We need it just for tonight, Elena, he has a meeting, and if we can't get him tonight, we'll sent someone to follow him after that, just to be sure. Who knows, he might not even be involved at all."

„And if he finds it?"

„He won't find anything on it." He stated, like it was the most obvious thing on the world.

„What, it will just explode in his coat or in his arm?" Elena said, surprised.

Damon laughed. „No, of course not. We will just delete everything recorded on it from our base. He'll know it's a bug, but he won't know where it has come from. And even if he figures it out, it will be too late, we'll already either got what we needed or not." He stopped, and since Elena seemed to have ran out of questions he said. „I am going to pick up my tuxedo, what are you wearing? I need to know so that I could buy a matching tie." He asked her.

„It's a surprise" She smiled playfully at him. „You just keep it original." She smiled at him, and he got out of the door, smirking.

After around 3 hours she heard her phone beeping. She looked and saw a message from Damon.

„Ready or not, here I come."

She smiled goofily at her phone, he could be such a child sometimes. After she heard the door opens, she took one last look at herself in the mirror and shouted through the door:

„Okay, I am coming out, but I want you to be completely honest, okay?"

„Aren't I always?" he replied, and Elena got out of the room. At the sight of each other the both froze with their eyes wide open. Damon was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. His hair was still a black mess, but it looked unbelievably attractive to Elena. His bright blue eyes made such a contrast to the black suit, and this was making him even sexier.

Damon blinked a couple of times, seeing the beautiful woman before him. She was wearing long, black, tight dress. It had a big slit, up to her thigh, revealing her long leg. It was strapless, and her red heels were visible. She was carrying a little red purse, her hair was falling in long, loose waves, and her makeup was light. She looked like an angel, Damon thought to himself.

Elena was the first one to shake from the trance.

„Damon?"

„You took my breath away." He smiled at her. „You look perfect." She blushed at his words and replied:

„You don't look bad yourself."

He moved closer to her, and just now she saw that he was holding something. He opened it, and she saw that it was amazing diamond necklace. It had a fine, delicate chain, with one single diamond.

„The moment I saw it, I thought it would look really good on you." He explained.

„Damon... it's... incredible, you shouldn't have done this for me." She looked at him with wide eyes.

„I wanted to." He said and moved closer to put it on her. The moment the lock clicked on her neck, and she took a look of herself in the mirror, she knew it was completing the whole thing. It was supposed to be there, she wasn't finished without it. She smiled at him warmly.

„Thank you, I love it." After a few moments she added. „How much exactly it pays being an FBI agent?"

„More than I can spent myself. I have one more thing for you." He said and gave her a little device.

„What's this?" Elena asked, curiously looking at the tiny thing in her hand.

„It's your bug" He explained. „Just put it in your ear, so that my team can communicate with you. They'll be standing right in front of the building, ready to burst in, if necassary. And I will be there at all times."

„I know Damon, I told you before it's okay, I trust you."

„Okay then, here's the other bug, which you need to somehow slip in his coat." He handed her another one, and Elena put it in her purse.

„We're doing this, and we're quickly out of there, understood?" he told her.

„Yes." Elena said firmly.

They got to the hotel, where the dinner was supposed to be, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, Elena felt a little nervous. What if she fails? She had to do this right, she just had to.

They got in there, and Damon gave some fake names to the woman on the door. Elena stopped, as she heard that their last names were the same.

„Damon, what exactly are we in this... situation?" She asked.

„Married, so you'll have to act in love." He told her, giving her a look.

„And why didn't you tell me before that?"

„I thought it would be more fun like that."

Elena rolled her eyes, as they got in a big, spacious place, hand in hand.

„What now?" She asked, looking around.

„Now we wait."

They stood there, and talked about everything, while the time was passing. After a while Elena even felt a little hunger and took a bite of some of the served dishes. After she discovered that there was a chocolate soufflé she couldn't stop herself.

„Damon, come here, you should really try this one, it's divine."

He came closer and she moved the fork to his mouth, giving him a taste. He swallowed and chuckled at her.

„What?" Elena asked.

„You've got a little something-" he said, and moved his thumb to her mouth, removing the little chocolate there. Elena looked away, but she couldn't help and smiled.

„You two really make a lovely couple." A woman moved closer to them, seeing the sight.

They both looked at each other, but Damon was the first one to get in role. He put his hand on her little waist, and pretended not to notice how her body shivered from his touch. He put on a huge smile and said.

„Thank you, we're very happy together." He told her, and the woman looked at them warmly.

At this moment, Elena and Damon heard a voice in their ears.

"He's here. Go."

Elena felt how Damon's body tensed up, as he scanned the room, until his eyes fixed on a good-looking man on the bar. Elena traced his look.

"That's him?" She asked.

"Yes."

"I am going there." She said, taking the bug out of her purse, and handing it to Damon.

"Be careful, okay? I am right here." He told her, and Elena just smiled and went to the bar.

She sat there, and ordered a big vodka tonic. For her relief, the man started talking first.

"Big? It must really be boring for you here." He commented.

"You have no idea." Elena replied, looking at him. "I am here with my husband, who, like it seems, has no interest in spending time with me, as always." She said tilting her head in Damon's direction.

"Then it's his loss." The man said, looking at Elena from head to toe. His eyes stopped on her thigh. His hand moved there, and he started moving it, up and down her leg. "Such a beautiful lady like you."

This guy was really a dirt bag, Elena thought to herself, but to him, she just smiled.

"Would your husband mind if I ask you to a dance?" he asked, his hand not moving from its place.

"He wouldn't even notice if you take me to your bedroom." She told him, and her words caused exactly the effect she wanted. His eyes lit up, he got up from the chair, and motioned for her to go to the dance floor. A slow song started. Perfect, Elena thought, as he put his hand on her waist, and she wrapped hers around his neck. They started dancing, his hand slowly moving to her ass. Elena found him repulsive, but she just kept smiling. With the corner of her eyes, she saw Damon, who looked furious from the other end of the room. After a few moments she decided there wouldn't be a better time and moved one of her hands from his neck to his waist, getting lower and lower. He looked really pleased by her, and when she leaned to whisper him something, she slipped the bug in his coat pocket. She turned to give Damon a look, and moments later, he was there.

"What do you think you're doing?" He rose his voice to her.

"I am dancing." Elena said, barely able to keep her laughter.

"No, you're not, you're embarrassing me in front of all those people!" He kept attracting attention to all of them.

"Hey, hey, chill, nothing happened, as the lady said, we were just dancing, she's all yours now." The other man said, he obviously didn't want to attract attention to himself. He gave Elena a weird look and walked away.

"Good work" Damon whispered to her as they were exiting the building. He was still a little mad, and Elena couldn't understand why.

"Thank you." She said, and she thought of something. "I want to go to the beach." She told him.

"What?"

"I haven't been to a beach… since, I don't know when, please Damon, I really want to." She begged him and she saw how he cracked.

"Give me the bug." She took the tiny device out of her ear and gave it to Damon. He took his own off, as well.

When they got to the beach, Elena felt like doing something crazy. She looked at Damon devilishly and said:

"Unzip me."

"What?" He looked so shocked, it was actually funny.

"I can't swim with my dress on, so unzip me."

"Now, what on earth did you drink, Elena?"

"I'm not drunk" She said a little offended. "I just want to swim, I haven't done it in ages, so come on."

He rolled his eyes. but started unzipping her, slowly revealing her perfect body. She was wearing black, strapless bra, and a matching black bikini. He felt how he became painfully hard very fast, as the dress slip down her body. Elena just looked playfully at him, and ran towards the sea, getting deeper and deeper. When she was deep enough she shouted at Damon.

"Come here, it's amazing." She said, smiling. There was nothing she loved more than being in the water, swimming, it was giving her some kind of a freedom.

"No." Damon just said.

"Are you afraid of a little competition? Coward." She said, laughing.

"Oooh, fuck it, you had it coming, young lady." He said and quickly took his clothes off, stepping in the water. When he got to her, she smiled playfully at him and said:

"Ready? Start!"

She started swimming as fast as she could, leaving Damon behind her. She felt how he moved closer and closer to her, he was a good swimmer as well. She continued swimming and pushing him away, but in the end, he grabbed her by the waist and she faced him. His hair was wet and droplets were running down his face. His body was so close to hers and she was feeling the electricity between them.

"That was not fair." He said.

"Who said I was playing fair?" She replied. She loved being here right now, it made her forget all of her problems, and everything was just vanishing from her mind, replaced by a feeling of freedom and happiness.

"Oh is that so?" he said, and splashed her with water. She laughed and splashed him back. They played like a little children for a little while until Elena tried to swim off again, but Damon just grabbed her by the waist again.

"You're not going anywhere." He told her in a low voice, and in this moment she knew there was no coming back. They were so close, that it took Elena only one swift movement to lean closer to him, and their lips met with crushing force. Damon pressed her tightly against him, responding to her kiss with the same enthusiasm. His tongue demanded access to her mouth and she opened it slightly. Their tongues entangled in each other, deepening their kiss. After a moment Damon stopped and looked at her.

"What are you-"

"Shh, no talking." Elena said, and with that the last drop of self-control vanished from Damon's body.

They moved closer to the beach, not breaking the kiss. When they got close enough, Damon pushed Elena slightly on the sand, and started showering her whole body with kisses. A loud moan escaped her mouth, and she felt Damon smiling against her skin. He was setting fire to her body with his every touch, and she felt like she was going to explode. He removed her bra in one swift movement, revealing her breasts. He started kissing them, playfully biting her nipples, which made her body arch.

"Damon, please" she begged him, her whole body trembling from the anticipation. But he wasn't done with her yet. He took her panties off, throwing them away, and slid one finger inside of her. He smiled as he felt how ready she was for him. He started moving it in and out of her slowly, and he increased his pace gradually as he slid two then three fingers inside of her. With his free hand, he cupped her breast, and started massaging it. All of Elena's senses were overwhelmed; the waves of pleasure were crashing into her with his every thrust. Her release was approaching and she felt her walls tightening around his fingers as her orgasm washed over her. She trembled with pleasure, and a huge smile appeared on her face.

She thought she'd be tired, but all she wanted was more and more of him.

"I want you," She whispered, and her hands moved to his boxers, removing them quickly with her trembling hands. She wrapped her hand around his huge member, and started moving it up and down. Their eyes locked as he positioned himself at her entrance.

"Are you sure you want this?" He asked, afraid of the answer.

"I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life." She replied and it was all he needed. With one deep, powerful thrust he entered her, causing both of them to moan in pleasure. It was amazing how their bodies matched. It was almost like they were made for each other. Every curve, every inch of her body was a perfect match for his. She arched her back to meet his pace, and they established a rhythm. She sought his lips again, and kissed them hungrily while he was thrusting in and out of her restlessly, building up her second orgasm. Elena groaned in his lips as she felt her release coming closer and closer.

"Elena, I don't have a con-" he started but she just put a finger to his lips.

"It's okay, I don't want it."

With one last, deep thrust they both met their release, collapsing in each other's arms. He rolled off of her, and Elena snuggled in his chest, kissing him again, not being able to believe that she had this amazing man by her side. At this particular moment she didn't feel any guilt, she didn't have any regrets. While they lay like that, his arms wrapped around her, their bodies still entangled, for the first time in a long time, Elena felt happy.

Sooo, since this is the first time I am writing something like that, ever, I don't know if it was good enough. And I have a couple of questions for you. Was it overdetailed or less detailed? Do you want more smut in the upcoming chapters or not? Is there something I need to improve? Thank you in advance :)

PS: There might have been some cliches in this chapter, but what can I say? Seems like I am romantic person xD
