Chapter 1: Secrets
"Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go." –Madonna
It had been nearly a week since the night that Elena returned to the Boarding House with the Salvatore brothers and nearly as long since she had heard one single word from Stefan's lips. After the night of her silent agreement with Damon, Stefan was hardly ever home. He stayed out of the house all day and at night came home after he knew that everyone would be asleep. He talked to Damon every once in a while, but even to his own brother he could only speak a few words at a time before he became silent once again and retreated to the solitude of his bedroom. Guilt suffocated Elena as she moved through the house with Damon day after day and it was only after a few days of the silent treatment that she finally pulled Damon aside to ask him something that she knew he wouldn't like and possibly wouldn't agree to.
"I'm worried about him Damon. He isn't talking, he doesn't look like he is feeding enough and he is never here. I thought the spell was broken, I thought he was supposed to be back to his old self by now?" She asked as she leaned against the kitchen counter next to Damon and stared into his glacier blue eyes searching for any answers they could possibly hold. Damon forced a smile and looked at the ground.
"The spell was broken Elena; that is not why he hasn't been talking to us or why he hasn't been home." He said softly as he finally looked up and met her eyes once again. Elena stared at him, she knew the answer, but she was feeling particularly masochistic that day so she decided she needed to hear the truth out loud.
"Then what is it?" She asked. Damon let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his thick onyx hair and moved slightly closer to where Elena stood.
"He's heartbroken Elena. He might have told you to let him go this summer, but he never intended for you to actually let him go. He especially didn't expect you to let him go and then end up with me. This is kind of like the whole Katherine thing in reverse…it hurts like a bitch if I remember correctly." He said as he gritted his teeth and slid his fingers around the crystal tumbler that sat on the edge of the counter next to him. Elena sighed and dropped her head.
"God, I am just like her, aren't I?" She asked as she felt tears beginning to well up in her eyes. Damon set his tumbler of bourbon down quickly and moved slightly closer to her. He slid his fingers under her chin and lifted her face so her eyes met his.
"You are nothing like her Elena. You are good and kind. Katherine was an evil slut that hurt people on purpose; you are nothing like her, trust me." He said seriously as he stared into her doe like eyes. Elena nodded and tried to push her emotions down.
"Maybe we should…cool it…like just in public for a while." She said quietly as she felt Damon's hands slip away from her face. Damon stared at her and his eyes darkened slightly.
"Cool it? So in other words you want to sneak around so people don't know about us? I got news for you sweetie, everyone here knows about us and if I remember correctly you happen to want something that you are absolutely not going to be able to keep cool for longer than about five minutes, so I think you'd better think of a better plan." He said quickly as he raised his brow at her and took another drink from his crystal tumbler. Elena nodded and tried to keep calm as the last thing she wanted was to fight with him over his brother, they had all done that quite enough already.
"I don't mean that we have to hide it Damon, just like maybe no lovey dovey stuff in front of Stefan for a while. I just want him to be able to heal and then we can tell everyone exactly what is going on and then they can all deal with it then. Just for now, maybe keep it between us." She said quickly as she avoided his eyes. Damon set his tumbler down once again and stared at her.
"Elena, if this is what you want to do that is fine. But, I have news for you buffy. No matter what you do, someone is going to get hurt in all of this. I have lived this before and I lived it from the perspective that my brother is now drowning in. It sucks, it hurts and it makes you want to end your eternal life more than anything in this world. His wound will heal eventually, but it doesn't take the kind of time you are thinking of. He isn't going to be all better in a few weeks or months, it takes a lot longer than that." He said softly as he watched her. Elena swallowed and nodded.
"I know, I just want to make it less painful for him at least. So, we just kind of keep things PG for a while and everything should be fine." She said with a forced smile as she looked at him with both seriousness and doubt flooding her eyes. Damon raised his brow and grinned at her slightly.
"I can do PG, no problem baby." He said with a smile and in that moment, Elena knew she was screwed and her plan had about the chance of success of Stefan being able to actually survive on his bunny diet and actually be happy.
And so that conversation led Elena to where she stood now, which was pressed up against the cool wall of the upstairs bathroom in the Salvatore Boarding House with Damon's body hard against hers and his breath ragged against her skin.
"He will be home any minute, we should stop." Damon panted with a sly smile as his hand slid slowly up the inside of Elena's thigh. Elena swallowed thickly as she felt her skirt rising up the length of her thighs with every movement of Damon's hands.
"Damon…please." Elena begged as she reached out and began undoing the button on Damon's jeans and started pulling them down slightly over his hips.
"But we don't want baby brother to hear us…actually hear you. We are being good, remember?" Damon taunted as he stared into her eyes and slowly slid his fingertips over the damp silk material of her panties.
"Damon…please just…please." She begged as she felt his fingers slip inside her panties and begin to slowly rub over the wet warm skin of her trembling clit.
"Mmmm….you are always so wet for me. I bet you taste fucking amazing right now." He said in a voice that was slightly lower and huskier than before. Elena moaned as she felt the pressure of his fingertips become more intense over her flesh.
"Damon please…I need you inside of me." Elena begged as she felt her entire body break out in a heated sweat from Damon's tortuous touch.
"Well since you asked so nicely…but one thing first." He said with an evil grin and then before Elena could question or refuse whatever he was about to suggest, Damon dropped to his knees and ripped the damp white panties from her body and pushed her skirt up over her hips as he licked his lips.
"I just need one taste." He whispered as his eyes roamed over her flesh. Elena groaned and then bit down on her bottom lip as she felt Damon's tongue dip to the inside of her knee as he trailed a long wet line up the inside of her thigh and then stop just at her trembling core.
"Please Damon." Elena begged as she felt words escaping her and the room around them begin to spin.
Damon groaned and let out a ragged breath and then quickly crushed his mouth against her wet clit and Elena felt the floor nearly drop out from beneath her.
"Damon, fuck!" Elena screamed as she felt his mouth begin to work feverishly over her hot wet flesh. Damon laughed low in his throat and then opened his mouth slightly and took her clit into his mouth and began to suck gently on her skin.
"Damon…oh my God…" She screamed as she felt her body begin to tighten around her. Damon groaned and then pulled away slightly. He looked up and locked eyes with Elena and for a moment he was the only thing that existed in her world. He opened his mouth and with his eyes locked on hers, he licked a long wet line over the length of her swollen clit and then groaned as he sucked for just a moment on her tiny bundle of nerves before he returned to his standing position right in front of her shaking form.
"Mmmm…you taste so fucking good." Damon said with a sly smile as he licked his tongue over his bottom lip. Elena trembled in his arms and leaned slightly closer to him. She opened her mouth and kissed him passionately as she let her tongue massage against his in his wet mouth. She let the taste of her body mixed with the taste of his flow into her mouth and down her throat. Together, they were intoxicating and left her only wanting more.
"Please Damon, I need you inside me." Elena begged as she finally pulled back from his lips and stared into his beautiful cobalt blue eyes. Damon nodded and then slowly dipped his head down to the crook of her neck and breathed lightly against her delicate skin.
"How bad do you need it, Elena?" He asked softly against her skin. Elena let out a whimper as she bit down on her bottom lip and tried to ignore the goose bumps that had broken out over her skin.
"Bad Damon, please." Elena begged as she tried to catch her breath against the pressure of Damon's body. Damon smiled and shrugged his jeans slightly further down his hips and pressed himself against Elena wet core.
"Do you miss this when you sleep at your house?" He asked huskily as he rubbed himself against her. Elena swallowed thickly and tried to keep her breathing in control.
"Yes Damon, God yes." She whispered against his skin. Damon smiled and pulled back and looked into her chocolate brown eyes that were desperate for release.
"Then scream baby." He whispered and then in an instant Damon thrust himself inside Elena's core and the room around them spun out of control.
"Damon!" Elena screamed as she felt Damon begin to move deeply inside of her.
"Fuck, Elena…louder!" Damon demanded as he pushed deeper inside of her, pushing her body harder and harder against the cool white wall behind her.
"Damon…more please!" Elena begged as she lifted her legs and wrapped them around Damon's waist. Damon lifted her slightly higher on the wall and then wrapped his arm around her shoulders so he could pull her down harder onto him. Elena groaned and then buried her face in Damon's neck.
"More?" He asked in a husky and breathless voice. Elena nodded and tightened her body around his.
"Yes…more…" She whispered. Damon pulled her quickly down the wall and onto him harder than before and Elena immediately felt her body come to life and electric sensations burn throughout her entire being.
"Damon…Oh my god." She moaned, but then just as she felt her release beginning to build, she felt Damon begin to slow his movements. Elena opened her eyes and stared at Damon in confusion and even slight anger.
"What's wrong?" She asked breathlessly. Damon closed his eyes and licked his lips as he shook his head.
"Stefan just pulled into the driveway. I think we'd better rain check this." He said in a frustrated tone as he began to move back. Elena stared at him and then quickly shook her head as she pulled Damon's body closer to hers.
"No, please. I will be quiet, please don't stop." She begged and even though she knew she sounded pathetic, when she saw the smile spread across Damon's lips she knew that sometimes begging wasn't all that bad.
"We could get caught Elena…and that would…be bad." Damon stuttered as he smiled at Elena. Elena nodded and licked her lips.
"I know, I will be quiet." She whispered. Damon nodded and then pressed his body against hers and in an instant was back inside of her.
Excitement and pleasure were two things that Elena had come to realize came with the territory of being with a man such as Damon Salvatore, but that day in the bathroom seemed to top most of the experiences they had so far. Damon drove into her harder and harder with every quiet moan that escaped her lips. He made love to her passionately, deeply, and with a complete reckless abandon that made her body only crave him more. He gave everything to her, but with every taste she had she knew it was never enough and she would always be left wanting more of him…needing everything of him.
"More….Damon." Elena moaned as her release began to build once again. Damon groaned and then raised his hand and covered her mouth.
"Shhh…." He said quickly and then he pushed deeper inside of her and muffled Elena's screams as she fell apart.
Damon could hear his brother's footsteps coming up the stairs as he held his hand over Elena's mouth. He tried to concentrate where in the house his brother was at all times, but with Elena moaning against his hand and the feel of her tongue on his skin, it was becoming slightly difficult to multi-task at this level. Finally, Damon realized something very important…he didn't care.
Damon slowed his movements and quickly lifted Elena from the wall. He knew his brother would be rounding the corner and making his way down the hallway any minute so he quickly sat Elena down on the sink counter. Elena stared at him in confusion, but Damon just smiled and moved closer to her lips.
"Lay back." He said softly against her lips. Elena nodded and then slowly lay back against the cool marble surface of the bathroom counter. Damon groaned as he saw her laid out for him as he slid one hand up the center of her body and gently touched her lips. Elena opened her mouth and took one of his fingers in her mouth and Damon groaned as he felt her wet mouth sucking on his skin. He knew he was in for trouble, but nothing was going to make him rush this moment…even though his brother was now nearing the top of the stairs.
Elena's body arched off of the bathroom counter as Damon entered her once again. He slid his hand back down her body and then slowly locked both of his hands at her hips and gripped her tightly as he drove into her harder and harder with every motion. Elena's body trembled and shook around him and he watched as she had to cover her mouth with one of her own hands to hold in the screams that he knew begged to escape her lips. Finally, Damon felt Elena nearing her release once again and so he decided one more taste, would not hurt.
"Keep your hand on your mouth." Damon commanded quietly as he looked down at Elena. Elena nodded and arched her back slightly further off of the counter as he drove into her harder and then in an instant she felt Damon's mouth come down hard just under her breast and his teeth sink into her skin as the world suddenly began to explode around her.
Elena clamped her hand over her mouth and screamed into her palm as her body shuddered, shook and trembled around Damon as if an earthquake had moved over her entire being. Her core clenched as her orgasm ripped through her harder than anything she had ever felt before and just as she thought it was over, Damon would suck a little harder at her flesh and another rip tide would rush over her in a heated crash that she couldn't control.
Damon looked up slightly and saw the expression on Elena's face as her orgasm ripped through her and he couldn't help but smile at the fact that he knew he had done things to her she had never felt before, but at the same time as he looked at her he saw a pleasure that spoke far more than just lust. He pushed deeper inside of her and as all of his emotions and deep seeded lust rushed over him, he came hard inside of her nearly pushing her through the bathroom mirror.
Damon had never gotten dressed as fast as he did that afternoon in the bathroom when he finally realized that Stefan had already passed them and was now in his bedroom just on the other side of where him and Elena now struggled to pull themselves together.
"This was not PG, Damon." Elena said as she quickly pulled her skirt down and readjusted her shirt. Damon stared at her and rolled his eyes.
"You've got to be kidding me, right? You were the one beginning me for it." He said with a slight grin. Elena smiled to herself, but tried to hide her grin from him.
"I wasn't begging, but no I am kidding. That was amazing." She said softly as she moved slowly across the bathroom and turned his chin toward her.
"I love you Damon." She whispered softly as she stared into his eyes. Damon smiled and shifted his weight slightly so he looked more at ease and in control.
"Who wouldn't love me?" He asked sarcastically as he smoothed hands over with his shirt and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Elena sighed.
"Cocky much?" She asked as she stared at him. Damon smiled and cocked his head to the side as he moved closer to her once again.
"Very much and you know that very well now don't you?" He asked with a smile. Elena smiled and then her smile suddenly faded as she looked down at the floor.
"What's with the face?" He asked in a more serious tone as he slipped his fingers under her chin and lifted her face so he could look into her eyes.
"No matter how much I might want to protect Stefan, how long are we going to do this? I want to turn and well…soon. I'm going to have to tell him soon and I am afraid of what he is going to say." She said quietly as she stared into Damon's eyes. Damon smiled at her softly.
"You don't have to explain yourself to him Elena. You are your own person, you get to decide your fate and where your life goes. Do what you think is right, that is the only thing he could never fault you for." Damon said soothingly. Elena nodded and forced a smile.
"I better get out of here; I have a lunch date with Caroline." She said quickly. Damon smiled and nodded.
"You go ahead and go out first. I'll hang back and admire God's handiwork." He said with a wicked grin. Elena smiled and laughed as she moved toward the door.
"You are so conceited." She said as she opened the door.
"You love it." He called after her and then Elena smiled and closed the door behind her.
Elena had only taken a few steps toward the stairway when she felt someone behind her. She swallowed deep in her throat and suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. Slowly, she turned around and saw the piercing green eyes of the man she had loved only a year before staring back at her. His light golden brown hair shone in the hallway lightening and his eyes seemed to cut through her as he locked his gaze on her.
"I believe there is something you would like to talk to me about?" Stefan asked as he stared at Elena. Elena swallowed and nodded as she moved closer toward him.
"Yes Stefan, there definitely is." She said softly and then without another word she followed Stefan down the hallway and into the bedroom that she knew far too well and wanted more than anything to forget.
OK, so what did everyone think? I am nervous about starting the sequel, but I really think that Dangerous Liaisons needed a sequel. I know that I started the story off with smut (hope you didn't mind) but just like DL this is a pretty smutty fic with story line as well. So if you don't like the smut let me know and I'll tone it down but it's kind of fun to write and in this story I want to explore what a relationship would be like between Damon and Elena because most stories cut off when they decide to be a couple. Let me know what you think and please please read and review. I love your reviews; I thank you for all the wonderful DL readers and feedback and hope you like this story too. Thank you everyone.
