I really appreciate all reviews and favorite adds! I hope you enjoy this one. I imagine it happening a few years down the line after they have all faced a lot of drama, but know that there will be more to come.

Is Love Enough?
"This will never work Damon!" I turned away, facing the river. My body shivered and suddenly Damon's leather jacket sat on my shoulders.
"Yes it will."
"You're a vampire. I'm a witch. We aren't meant to be together. Vampires use witches. They compel people for their own needs, not caring about anyone in the process."
He grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me to him. "You know I don't do that anymore." He searched my face, his eyes filled with hurt. "And I would never do that to you." He turned his head and breathed in, and then his blue eyes were on mine. "I love you."
I attempted to ignore the heat that gathered in my belly. "You shouldn't." Tears stung my eyes.
"What are you so afraid of? Stop with this 'you're a vampire and I'm a witch' crap. I know that's not it."
"You have eternity. I don't. I'll just be a girl you knew once. You'll get bored of me once all the craziness that surrounds us slows down. I can't get any closer to you when I know it's all going to end. And there are so many horrible ways it could."
"I know it's not going to be easy. But can't love be enough for now?"
I put my hand to his face and rubbed my thumb over his cheek. "You don't know how much I wish it could be."
He pulled me close so that every part of us that could touch did. Lips crashed and tongues collided. Power pulsed through my body as passion met passion. I didn't want this thing between us to end. But I knew I wouldn't survive if it ended any later than now.
Damon's soft lips traveled down to my neck and his hands rested on my hips. "Tell me what you're thinking," he spoke against my neck.
"I love you. With you I feel strong and happy, but I'm scared." I paused, taking a deep breath. "But if you think love can be enough then I think so too."
And Damon smiled the biggest and warmest smile I had ever seen on his face. I hoped we were right.
