"Where are you taking me?" Matt asked, trying to pull his hands free from where Jules had tied them to the door handle.

"We're going back to Mystic Falls of course," she replied. "I know your little friends will follow and they'll walk right into the trap that the Founder's Council is sure to have set up."

"Why are you doing this?" Matt asked. "It doesn't have to be this way. I promise if you just let me go and apologize they'd be accepting and take you on as a friend."

"It's too late for that. I've been a lone wolf for a long time. I don't know how to have friends," Jules said, looking down for a second. "I'm just going to drop you off at home. When I took you I don't quite know what I was thinking."

"That part is my fault. I sort of glamored you," Matt replied. "Unintentionally of course."

"I see why Katherine is fond of you. There's a lot I could do with you," Jules said, taking her eyes away from the road for a second to look at him up and down. "It's hard out there for a girl to get what she wants these days."

"It's hard for me too," Matt replied with a sigh.

"So if I just take you home there will be no hard feelings and you'll never see me again?" Jules asked.

"Deal." Matt smiled weakly and looked out the window.

….

"Where do you want to go to start our new life?" Caroline asked with a giggle.

"Somewhere cold," Tyler replied with an absent minded look on his face.

Caroline snuggled up against him on the floor and covered herself with a blanket they'd taken off the couch.

"Cold?" Caroline made a disgusted face. "I want to go somewhere warm. I like the sun."

"You're a vampire and you like the sun," Tyler laughed. "And I'm a wolf. I like the snow."

"Well fine we'll stay on the east coast where we can have both." Caroline wrinkled her nose.

"Or how about England?" Tyler suggested.

"Too much rain."

"Asia?"

"Too much foreign."

"So I'm guessing you want to stay in the states," Tyler raised a brow.

"Well I'm a southern girl. I don't really belong anywhere else," Caroline frowned.

"You belong with me," Tyler said and he pulled her by the leg on top of his lap.

Caroline giggled like a middle school girl. Something about him made her giddy and act a little childish but she liked it. She was 17 after all but lately she'd been acting like a senior citizen with all of the heavy stuff she'd been dealing with.

Tyler smiled and kissed the part of her that was closest to him which was her knee. She faked like she was going to kick him in the face and they both laughed.

"It's so good to see you smile again," Tyler said. "It's been a long time since I've seen that. Actually this whole time we've been together I've only seen a handful of smiles."

"Well give me more reasons to smile and I will," Caroline said under her breath.

"I just wish we could be more normal," Tyler said. "Like I want to bring you home to my mother and then go meet yours and then eventually ask your dad for permission to marry you. Then have some little wolfy babies, get old and then eventually die."

"You want to marry me?" Caroline smiled shyly.

"Well I just assumed …" Tyler began. "I said I would stick around until you didn't want me anymore. I'm in it for the long haul."

"Don't worry, Ty. I want you around," Caroline said, kissing him on the nose. "But I understand, Tyler. I want those things too but I just don't know. I don't even think I can have babies."

"Don't even worry about that. We'll make our own normal," he said, bringing her head down to rest on his heart.

They sat in silence for a few minutes until Tyler's phone went off. He lamented losing the warmth of Caroline's hair against his chest but his phone was all the way across the room.

"It's a text from Rose. She said that she and Katherine are in Georgia and she sees Matt and Jules," Tyler said. "What do you think? Should we go?"

"Yeah let's go," Caroline said grabbing her clothes and shoes. "Grab the whiskey."

Tyler laughed and gave her a look.

"What? I haven't fed in days. I'm starving," Caroline looked at him with bug eyes.

He just laughed and took the bottle off of Jules's mantle and they both dressed in less than a second and were headed north within a minute.

…...

Matt and Jules stopped in a barren rest station on the side of the highway for a rest.

"Can you please untie me? I promise I won't try to escape," Matt looked to Jules with puppy dog eyes.

"I don't know," she said. "It makes me feel like a more competent kidnapper if you're tied up."

"Well how about you loosen it a little at least? You tied me with sailor knots," Matt suggested.

"Fine," Jules conceded.

She reached over Matt and slipped a finger under the knot. Matt took it as an opportunity and he grabbed her hand, which immediately made her body go limp and her expression go serene.

"Why don't you untie me?" Matt said in a sensual voice and she readily obeyed.

Jules tore off the ropes and his hands were free.

"Now I hate to take advantage of you like this but I need to feed and then I need to get the hell away from you and back to Katherine," Matt said.

The itching and burning in his throat was too much for him to bare. He knew he shouldn't feed from Jules but the desire was clouding his judgment. All of his emotions always turned into one - lust. Whether he was hungry, sad or happy he only felt one thing when it all came down to it.

Matt ran his hand up Jules's arm and she shivered under his touch.

"Come here," Matt whispered.

Jules climbed over the center console with surprising grace and straddled Matt.

"What are you doing to me?" Jules asked breathily. "How are you controlling me? Stop it. Please."

"Shhhh," Matt said as he pulled Jules's lips down to his.

The intensity went from zero to a hundred in a matter of seconds and before he knew it, Matt had Jules doing whatever he asked her to. She was grinding her hips against his as they kissed fiercely and Matt was getting all of the energy he needed from her. The last time he'd fed so much he killed the girl and he figured the only reason Jules wasn't dying was because she was a supernatural.

Jules broke their lip contact and looked him in the eye.

"Do you love Katherine?" Jules asked.

"I think it's too soon for that but I definitely see something in her that no one else does," he replied.

"First Mason and then you," Jules said. "She has to be doing something right."

"Look you're amazing too. You just don't have an ounce of self confidence," Matt said. "Until recently I had the girl of my dreams but I lost her to my best friend. And what did he have that I didn't? He had confidence. He's actually a cocky bastard sometimes. But that's what's attractive and Katherine is that."

Jules thought over his words without saying anything and then went back in to attack his lips after a few moments.

…...

"You expect me to sit here and watch this?" Katherine asked Rose.

"Well you're not going to bloody run over there and break it up are you?" Rose said, ducking behind a bush. "He's feeding. It doesn't mean anything."

"Well why from her? She's so … plain," Katherine said. "And look. He's basically having sex with her when all he really needs to do is kiss her."

"Since when do you care about people and what they do?" Rose asked.

"Since I saw Stefan okay? He makes me feel emotions I'd forgotten I had," she replied. "That's probably why I loved him so much. He was so good. But Matt … He's so different than Stefan but he has this heart too you know?"

"I know perfectly well," Rose said as she thumbed the vile of wolfs bane Damon had given her to wear around her neck. "You're going to pine after him for the next century and a half then threaten to kill everyone he loves. No I get it."

"Shut up, Rose. That's not my style anymore," Katherine scoffed.

She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Matt and Jules. The sight made her increasingly angry so she decided she wouldn't take it anymore.

She ran off before Rose could say anything and ripped off the door of the car and yanked Jules out by her arm.

"What the hell?" Jules cried. "Are you crazy?"

"No but you are if you think you could kidnap my new toy and screw him in front of my face," Katherine said coldly. "So against girl code."

"You and your witty banter. It just doesn't get better now does it?" Jules rolled her eyes.

Katherine grabbed Jules by the arm and threw her across the lot and she landed with a thud. Her eyes flashed gold and she charged back at Katherine and knocked her down. Since the two were about equal in strength it looked like an old fashioned girl fight and Matt and Rose knew better than to break it up.

Matt watched them and sighed. He thought back on his life from the past few years and he tried to picture Elena and Caroline fighting over him. He figured with how boring and safe he used to be that would have never happened. He grinned a little, appreciating his being an incubus for the first time.
