Lay it down slow –Spiritualized-

.

Her soft moans echoed in the spacious bathroom as the droplets of water fell upon her body. Their breathing was ragged as they enjoyed the blissful feeling of their bodies connecting.

His strong hips pushed against her roughly, trapping her against the cold tiles of the shower while her breasts suffered the agony of being pushed against the wall. His fingers gripped her hips hard, leaving small red marks on them but she couldn't care any less, she would let him mark her entire body if that meant feeling like this every day.

He was performing a sensual dance against her body as he fucked her from behind, every nerve ending in her body was on fire because of the sensations he was evoking in her. "Oh my, oh my..." Her voice was a bare whisper as he took her earlobe between his lips, sucking softly at first and then biting it hard.

She loved the duality that was his body, soft for moments only to surprise her with his roughness later, he was the perfect lover, the one every woman wanted in their lives and he was hers, and no-one else's. He sucked at her pulse point and her breath caught in her throat at the action; he knew how much she enjoyed that. She could feel the hickey forming there already but then again she didn't care, he was free to mark her as he wanted.

His hands found her breasts, relieving them from the suffering he put them up against; he played with her nipples softly, taking his time while he reduced the speed of his thrusts, knowing how annoyed that was going to make her.

"Please!" She wined, her voice muffled against the cold cream tile.

"Please what?" His voice was playful and even when she was getting extremely impatient she couldn't help but smile.

"Faster." She panted and he obliged immediately.

"Look at me." He demanded so she did as she was told. She threw her head back and craned her neck to be able to stare into the beautiful ocean blue eyes of the love of her life.

"I own you." She whispered looking straight into his eyes, his brows shot up in surprise at her comment. "You are mine, and you can never be with anyone else."

He let out a grunt and closed his eyes, he was losing control, what this woman did to him was something else, she bewitched him and he was going to be under her spell for the rest of his life. He was close, he could feel it so he placed one hand between her legs, touching the soft bundle of nerves that could make her tremble and placed the other one on her head so he was able to kiss her soft lips.

His sneaky tongue invaded her mouth and she loved every minute of it, he was demanding, trying to drink everything from her as the lower part of his body did the exact same thing, it was as if they were synchronized.

And then she felt it, the most wonderful feeling she had ever experienced, when it hit her it made her see stars, just like it did every time when she was with him. The thing that could never happen with another.

"Damon!" She shouted his name like a prayer unable to control herself, her head was thrown back against his shoulder as the shudders of her body subsided and then with two more trust he reached oblivion as well and he came hard and fast inside her which sent her to orgasm once again. She could feel his seed inside her and relished in it, the leftovers mixing with the water between her legs.

"My god Elena, you drive me crazy." He whispered against her ear before pulling out of her. She turned around and stared at his handsome face underneath the shower spray.

"I love you." She said charged with emotion before clinging to him once again and pressing her lips against his as she ran her hands through his dark hair. When he was inside her she could forget about everything else that was wrong with their world, when they were together there wasn't anything more important, they became the only people in the world.

"Well I love you more." He whispered against her lips once they pulled away, their foreheads pressed together as water kept falling on top of them. "Today is a big day, you know that I want to come with you." Damon opened his eyes and stared intently at her.

"I know, I'm on vacation still but you need to go to work, you've already missed so many days because of me."

"I don't care." He answered stubbornly.

"Damon don't worry," she stroked his face softly. "I'll be fine, plus Bonnie is coming with me."

"But I want to be there when-" She pressed her lips softly against his once again, stopping him from finishing the sentence.

"We're just going to ask some questions, there is no guarantee that we-" He placed a finger against her wet lips.

"We will find him." The conviction was evident in his voice and Elena's heart melted right there as a small smile crept onto her face, it was amazing what this man could do to her with one sentence.

"I know, and I can promise you I won't go to see him without you." Damon seemed satisfied with the answer so he let it be, she was right he did need to get back to work immediately, even though the idea of being away from her was unbearable, especially now.

"Come on, let's hurry." He said with a smile on his face. "We already waste so much water and we're nowhere near clean." His eyes sparkled mischievously as he took shampoo from the bottle and started massaging her hair.

"Elena I'm so sorry but with the information you're giving me, there's not much I can do, really." Beth said with a sad smile as she ran her hands through her long blonde hair. "I mean, you don't even have a name."

She was stupid to believe that everything was going to be so easy, if there was something she had learned in life it was that nothing was easy, in this moment she regretted that Damon wasn't here, Bonnie was waiting just outside the office but still it wasn't the same, she needed his strong arms around her to keep her sane.

"But… wait a second." The elder woman got up and started rummaging through one of the drawers of the desk next to the window. "Here it is." She returned to sit on the couch Elena was on and handed her a small sheet of paper with a name on it.

"I don't understand." Elena said confused.

"You see, the information you're giving me is pretty vague so I really can't help you find anything, I came here just a few months before you." Elena nodded swiftly. "But according to what you're telling me this baby came here long before that, Monica, she got me this job, she used to work here, so if someone here can know about your baby it's her."

Elena saw a ray of light in the darkness that was her life at the moment, this reminded her that she had to keep her hope alive, she couldn't just give up, she owed it to her son and to Damon, they wouldn't be in this mess if she had followed her heart instead of her head.

"The address is in there, I'm sure she'll be able to help you." A small smile appeared on Beth's face and Elena smiled back at her, she always loved that motherly aura that the elder woman had.

"Thank you so much Beth, you have no idea how much I appreciate this." She got up from the couch and took her purse that was resting on the table.

"Hold on a second Elena, before you go I want to tell you something." The woman spoke slowly and the look in her eyes forced Elena to sit down once again.

"Okay."

"I am very sorry about what happened to you." A trace of sadness appeared on her face. "What your parents did to you was just awful and I understand that you want your son back." Elena was starting to see where this was going and immediately put herself on the defensive.

"I do want him."

"You have to consider all your options here, you can't keep playing like this with him." Her eyes turned accusative. "The adoption will be ready for Monday and if you're not sure it's better to just end this immediately."

"I want him." There was no trace of doubt in her voice. "Don't you get it, Julian is my son whether I brought him into the world or not, maybe my blood is not running through his veins but he is my son." The force of her words made Beth flinch. "I love my job, and I love every single one of the children in here, but since the moment I saw Julian I knew there was something different with him, I took care of him when he got sick, stayed with him when he couldn't sleep, made him eat his vegetables, he learned how to read and write with me." Her glossy brown eyes looked deeply at the woman in front of her. "I've only been with him for the last three years but in that period of time I've learned how to love him, he has grown up in front of my eyes, so no matter what science or people say, he is my son."

She hated how they kept putting her love for the kid under judgment, people couldn't understand what she felt for him, they didn't know that family isn't just the one you share blood with, just as Caroline and Bonnie were her sisters even though they hadn't got the same parents, Julian was her son.

"Okay then." Beth nodded softly, still a bit shaken off by the young woman's words, she was so young but she already knew what she wanted, she never felt more proud of Elena Gilbert. "I just wanted to be sure."

"Well, now you are."

If you've got love in your heart why don't you keep it with mine? I can't promise a miracle but I'll always be trying

.

Time went slower today, the hands on the wall clock couldn't go any slower. He loved his job he really did, when he was working he felt like the most important person in the world, there was nothing that he couldn't do, everything was under control. But today, he hated it. He couldn't wait until everything was finished so he could go back home to her, he needed to know how she was doing and she wasn't answering her phone. He contemplated leaving the office and reaching her but he knew that she would be angry, so he just stayed where he we was.

Finally after what seemed like ages all the work was done and he was free to go home, he had never been happier to leave that office in his entire life. He drove as fast as he could, probably breaking some traffic rules but finally he was back in no time. As he stepped out of the elevator anticipation started taking control of his body, it was ridiculous he'd just seen her this morning, but he never needed her as much as now, he needed her in his arms.

However nothing prepared him for what he was going to find once he inserted the key in the lock and opened the door.

"What the hell?" He muttered when he saw Caroline Forbes cooking in his kitchen, a further look let him know that Alaric and Jeremy were entertaining themselves in the living room.

"Hi Damon." The blonde girl chirped excitedly and in that moment he knew this was going to be a long afternoon.

"Where's Elena?" He asked immediately.

"Oh she's not here, she called a few minutes ago and said she was going to some lady who might know something about your son." Caroline said as if it wasn't a big deal.

"What do you mean she's not here? Then how are you here?" His confused eyes stared at her. "And which lady? Where? Why isn't she answering me?"

"Okay slow down." She placed the knife next to the vegetables on the table and cleaned her hands with a towel. "We're here thanks to the key under the rug." Damon rolled his eyes at her, now he regretted telling Elena about the damn key under the rug. "And Elena didn't want to concern you and she knows that's going to happen the minute you speak to her so that's why she's not answering."

Damon felt like killing her at this moment, yes he was a little overprotective but come on she couldn't just go and find their son without him, this woman was in fact really infuriating. He took a deep breath trying to gain some composure; everyone could see the smoke literally coming out of him.

"Hey Damon, let it be please, you know how stubborn Elena can be and in her head she's doing the right thing." Jeremy said stepping into the kitchen. "I think she wanted to spare you the pain in case she can't find anything."

"I think it's a little late for that." Damon answered in a hard tone. "But fine, I'll let this one go but I swear to God that if she starts doing things behind my back I will lock her in this house forever." He muttered before opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water.

"Bonnie says that they'll be back soon." Jeremy said looking at his phone. Caroline and Damon looked at him amused as he smiled at something on his phone.

"Why are you grinning like a stupid idiot?" Damon asked bluntly, as always he had absolutely no gentleness when it came to talk.

"What?" The boy asked with a confused look. "I wasn't grinning like a stupid idiot." His tone was offended but he couldn't hide the small smile that was appearing on his face.

"Oh no" Caroline said and cocked her head.

"What?" Both Jeremy and Damon turned to her with a questioning look.

"He's so doing it with Bonnie." The blonde girl said with a roll of her eyes.

"What? That's so not-that's-" Jeremy blushed a deep red and just looked down unable to form any coherent sentence.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Damon looked at him startled. "You're doing it with judgy, God you're one brave man."

"What are you guys murmuring about?" Alaric said as he appeared in the kitchen as well.

"Oh we were just saying that we're really happy that Jenna forgave you." Damon said with a smirk. "We couldn't stand one more performance of 'The Shape of My Heart'." Caroline burst into gigles as Alaric gave Damon a nasty look. "It's just... Backstreet Boys Ric, seriously?" Damon said with a smirk while Caroline kept laughing like a lunatic.

"You guys are never going to forget that, right?"

"Nope." Damon answered with a smile.

"But seriously what were you guys were talking about?" Ric said again, feeling a little bit left out of the group.

"Oh well, Jeremy is doing it with Judgy." Damon said with a horrifed expression.

"Are you serious?" Ric said looking at Jeremy.

"Well, we're trying to have some kind of relationship." The boy said timidly.

"Dude, do you not have any taste at all?" Damon said with a frown which earned him a jab on the side from Caroline.

"Elena knows about this?" Alaric answered.

"Bonnie was going to tell her today."

"Oh god." Damon muttered before drinking a long gulp of water. As if he needed any more trouble, he was positive that Elena was going to freak out about this.

Ric started to pick on Jeremy about his relationship with Bonnie while Caroline and Damon looked at them amused, after all he was glad to have them here, he would never admit that out loud but these people made his life better, they were his friends even though he hated them sometimes.

Once Jeremy and Ric went back to occupy their spot in front of the TV Caroline took the opportunity to ask Damon what she had wanted to know all week.

"So, did you hear anything from Stefan?" She wasn't able to meet his eyes so she pretended to be occupied with finishing lunch.

"Kind of." He murmured, this wasn't his favorite subject and he had no intention of sharing it with Caroline but he figured that the blonde deserved answers after what his brother did to her. "My dad said he's in Verona right now visiting some relatives, he'll be back when he's ready, we don't know how long it will be but I guess he's okay, he's better than he would be if he was here anyway."

Damon would never regret being with Elena but what he did regret was hurting his brother, even though sometimes he pretended not to care, Stefan was very important to him and hurting him was not what he had wanted to do. He hoped Stefan could find the peace and happiness he needed, and maybe someday in the future he could forgive him.

"I guess that's fine, I mean he just needs some time to heal." Caroline murmured and then put the food in the oven before walking to the living room where the boys were, she didn't want to discuss Stefan any further.

She couldn't help but worry about him and wonder what was he doing but the best for her was just to let go, they weren't meant to be and there wasn't anything she could do about it.

Elena felt like the minutes couldn't go any slower, Monica had gone for some tea and she was in the living room waiting for her, she liked the woman immediately, she was around 60 with white long hair and a heart shaped face, very motherly, Elena thought.

Silently she was praying to God for some help, she wanted nothing more than this woman to have any information about her child. She knew Damon was going to be angry about her coming to see Monica on her own but she needed to do this alone, she didn't want to give him hope just to crush him down later, she couldn't make him suffer anymore.

Today had been quiet an interesting day, first there was the chance that she would find out the identity of her son today and then well, Bonnie and Jeremy were a thing now, that was weird - beyond weird, in fact she freaked out at the beginning but she was kind of accepting it now, who was she to decide who her brother could or couldn't date, if he loved her and she made him happy that was fine with her.

Bonnie had an emergency call from her grandmother so she had to go but promised to come back and pick her up. Elena could hear the soft footsteps of the elder woman and lifted her eyes to see her walking back into the living room.

She placed a tray with porcelain cups on the table and offered one to her, it was delicious and Elena felt instantly relaxed.

"Well darling my memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm sure that we can work something out." The woman said with a smile on her face, Elena had already told her everything and she said she would do all in her power to help, but the lack of documents was a real problem.

"You say this boy; your son came from Chicago?"

"Yes he did, it was around 2006." Elena said nervously, her stomach was tied in knots at the moment. "He didn't have a name, or at least not that we know of."

"Well that makes everything so much harder, no name, no records..." The woman said shaking her head slightly, Elena knew she was right it was almost impossible to find him.

"Wait, he had no name but they called him Charming, because of the prince." She said with a smile on her face.

"Oh my." A look of amazement appeared on the woman's face. "How could I ever forget about that boy?" Hope started blossoming in Elena at the words the woman said. "He was like an angel, so beautiful and sweet, the most lovable baby I have ever met."

"So you do know him? My son?" Tears were gathering in Elena's eyes, the woman took both of her hands between hers and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Of course I do, sandy blonde hair and blue eyes." She closed her eyes for a moment still with a smile on her face. "I gave your son his name, child."

"So, please tell me, I need to know." Elena gripped her hands tightly and her brown eyes pleaded with her.

"I was quite a fan of John Lennon." The woman said with a funny expression. "So I named him after his son, Julian."

"What?" All the air had left Elena's lungs and she was sure she would pass out at any minute.

"Yes, his name is Julian. And as far as I know your child is still in that orphanage." Monica smiled softly as she watched tears fall from Elena's eyes as a smile appeared on her face.

Sandy blond hair and blue eyes, Julian, eight years old, pathological murmur... it all made sense now, could it be? Was Julian her son?

I know, I know that will never happen in real life right? But that's why I love fiction!

Did you guys saw that one comming? I bet you did :)

Unfortunately I won't be able to update in the next three weeks, maybe, let's hope two, since my exams are starting. So, bear with me please :)

Love,
