Chapter 12
He Can't Be Tamed
The next day was Saturday and Elena went over to the Salvatore's house that morning during a time when she knew that Stefan was usually out hunting. She knew that Damon had been down lately and she wanted to check on him.
She knocked but got no answer. She could hear music blaring so she let herself in. She was not prepared for the sight that met her eyes.
Damon had obviously just gotten out of the shower. His hair was wet, and he was clad only in a towel around his waist. He was dancing and singing into his comb along with a song playing on the radio. Most people looked silly doing something like this, but Damon...
For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way yep, twenty four hours a day,
'Cause I'm hot like that.
Every guy, everywhere, just gives me mad attention,
Like I'm under inspection, I always get the ten,
'Cause I'm built like that.
Elena's brain froze, along with her body. She couldn't move, only stare.
I go through guys like money flyin' out their hands,
They try to change me but they realize they can't,
And every tomorrow is a day I never planned,
If you're gonna be my man, understand.
Oh dear lord...
I can't be tamed, I can't be saved,
I can't be blamed, I can't, can't,
I can't be tamed, I can't be changed,
I can't be saved, I can't be can't be,
I can't be tamed!
She didn't know Damon could sing... but he could, and he sounded like a rock star.
If there was a question about my intentions,
I'll tell ya,
I'm not here to sell ya,
Or tell you to go to hell,
I'm not a brat like that.
I'm like a puzzle,
but all of my pieces are jagged,
If you can understand this,
we can make some magic,
I'm wrong like that.
She found her eyes moving along his body. His chest was finely chiseled, his legs and arms well muscled, but not overly so. Her gaze stopped at the towel and a part of her kind of wished it would slip...
I wanna fly,
I wanna drive,
I wanna go.
I wanna be a part of something I don't know,
And if you try to hold me back I might explode.
Baby, by now you should know.
Wait, didn't she love Stefan?
I can't be tamed,
I can't be tamed,
I can't be blamed,
I can't, can't ,I can't, can't be, tamed.
I can't be changed,
I can't be tamed,
I can't be, I can't be, tamed!
Then why hadn't she gotten back with him yet?
Well I'm not a trick you play,
I'm wired a different way
I'm not a mistake,
I'm not a fake,
It's set in my DNA.
Don't change me,
Don't change me,
Don't change me,
Don't change me...
I can't be tamed!
Damon moved his hips and Elena felt like her body might hit the floor. It was the sexiest thing she'd ever seen.
I wanna fly,
I wanna drive,
I wanna go.
I wanna be a part of something I don't know,
And if you try to hold me back I might explode.
Baby, by now you should know.
Okay you need to go now before he notices you staring! Her brain suddenly shouted at her. She started to back up to the door.
I can't be tamed,
I can't be tamed,
I can't be blamed,
I can't, I can't, can't, be tamed,
I can't be changed,
I can't be tamed,
I can't be, I can't be tamed!
Elena fled. The song was a perfect one for him to sing, she thought fuzzily. No, he couldn't be tamed, because if he ever was, then he just wouldn't be Damon. He was wild and, she was just starting to realize, that she liked him that way.
What the hell was she supposed to do now?
