"It was time"

DPOV

Once the back door slammed shut behind us, I grabbed my dark beauty by the waist and helped her down the steps. She released the most adorable giggle before I set her back on her feet. "Well that was unnecessary" she smirked at me, playfully smacking my chest.

"Just trying to impress you" I joked.

She took a step towards me and looked me dead in the eye, "Oh believe me when I say that you already do"

It felt so natural to wrap my arms around her and pull her to my chest. It felt so normal that it actually scared me but I pushed the guilt and regret away when focusing on my target, "Sorry about that – I just couldn't stand the noise"

"What about the girls clawing their way to you?" her amused gaze was now trained on her fingers which now trailed up my chest.

I peered down at her, "Were you stalking me?" I teased.

"No" her tone was raised an octave and her creamy skin was tainted with a delectable pink due to her embarrassment, "I was just observing…" she defended herself in a timid whisper when peeking up at me from her eyelashes. When looking back down, the eyelashes brushed across her skin gently.

"That's what all the stalkers say" I taunted her and she only smirked. Something seemed to be bothering her thoughts so I tried to distract her, "I like it like this"

"What?" she blinked up at me.

I grinned, "The privacy" my tone fell serious as I darkly murmured, "Just me and you"

It was time.

I couldn't prolong this any further…

Wrapping one arm around her waist, I pulled her close to me which only made her cheeks flush once again. The blood was hot as it pumped through her veins with her excitement but in the process my own excitement had overtaken my reasoning and rationality.

When my stare landed on the pumping vein under her jugular, I felt myself lose control and the fangs extend as they gently pricked at my bottom lip, yearning for escape. Not able to hold it in anymore, I bared my sharp incisors with a low snarl and silently awaited her fear.

Finally we were getting somewhere…

I could tell he was waiting for my scream or for the terror to settle in my eyes but instead; I smirked when peering up at him through my thick eyelashes. This gave me the great satisfaction of seeing his eyes widen with confusion and surprise but instead of questioning it, he lunged at me with his fangs.

What he didn't expect is the blow at his chest which sent him to the other side of the wall. He released a groan but was quick to regain himself when rushing towards me.

Flicking my wrist, I captured the stake that shot out from my sleeve but as I reached out to drive it through him, he gripped my wrist and twisted it. Biting back my anguished groan, I let the stake drop and had to take the pain of the kick to my stomach causing me to crash onto the trashcans.

I was angered when I tasted copper in my mouth, "You wanna dance Salvatore?" I chuckled, pushing myself up from the ground and using the wall for support.

"What are you?" he seethed and I tried to ignore the hurt and betrayal icing, his blue orbs.

Taking advantage of his distracted thoughts, I threw a punch but he was quick in capturing my angered fist before it could hit his jaw. He leaned in so that our lips were only inches apart as he repeated, "What are you?"

Using my other fist, I attacked his other side but he caught that arm too before pulling me onto his chest. My back now pressed up onto his chest as he gripped me tightly, stilling my movements.

Still I didn't give up…

I spun around and threw a high kick to his waist but he caught my foot and threw me again. This time my head hit the hard brick wall and there was no fighting back when the blackness hit me.

-XxxxxX-

I blinked into the bright light, streaming through the window and assaulting my eyes. The burn had me groaning and rolling over as I buried myself further into the familiar musky scent that was concealed within the soft silk sheets. My fingers gently slipped through them with every move that I made. Only this soft indulgence was halted with the raging pound knocking on my head as the memories flooded through…

Atlanta….Hunting…Clubbing…Strobe lights…Leather…Dark hair… Blue eyes…Vampire.

Whipping up, I rolled over the bed and coiled into a crouch on the floor.

An involuntary hiss rippled through my trembling lips when I met the all too familiar bright blue eyes. Silver specks flecked in his angered eyes when he moved towards me. Each step was a warning and had me straightening up as I readied myself for his inevitable attack.

I still felt slightly weak from his attack which made it easy for him to grab my shoulder and throw me back to the bed, "Sit down" he ordered.

Ignoring him, I stood up once again but he blurred over to me and pushed me back down, "Stubborn much?" he glared at me and I forced myself to glower back, instead of trailing down to the panes of his muscled chest.

He tilted his head to the side with a ghost of a smirk, "Now what am I going to do with you?"

A/N: So many possibilities…any ideas?
