After trying to say their goodbyes it seemed that Damon and bonnie weren't up for watching stefan and elena swoon over each other for the rest of the night and wanted to leave too, and insisted that they all get a taxi together. Enzo gave Damon a look telling him that he really wasn't looking for an after party and he was ruining his chances with Caroline. However Damon being his usual self pretended not to notice and laughed it off
"Come on let's go, those two are making me wanna barf." Damon said sneering in stefan and Elena's direction.
"Fine, but I'm going home, don't know if I can handle one of your after parties mate." Enzo said looking at Damon with the same pissed off look.
Damon looked to Enzo, then to Caroline for a second and back again to Enzo, realising what was happening, he laughed to himself.
"Fine we'll drop you off, what about you Caroline?" He said turning his attention to her, " you up for a little after party?" Damon said suggestively. He wasn't really interested in intruding on his best friends girl, he was merely doing it for his own amusement for Enzo's reaction more than anything.
"Please," Caroline scoffed, "I'd rather gouge my own eyeballs out" Caroline said sarcastically.
Enzo let out a laugh while placing his arm on the small of Caroline's back as they made to leave.
"So boring, fine, we'll drop you both off." Damon laughed as the gang headed for the exit.
In the taxi they were all still highly buzzed and laughing and joking. Except Caroline, she joined in the conversation now and again but was for the most part sitting mute thinking to herself. So much had happened in the past few days it was like a whirlwind of events that had quickly brought her to a new life surrounded by all of these people she now knew and liked. Her relationship with Enzo thus far had been so quick, she hadn't thought of home in a couple of days she had been so busy with new people and new revelations of all these vampires knocking around.
Caroline lifted her eyes to look at Enzo who was in conversation with Damon and laughing. Yeah he was rough around the edges but he'd been so forthcoming with her and she knew he was good deep down behind the snarky comments and mischievous behaviour. It wasn't like Caroline to dive into something so quickly with someone she had always made them wait, like she was attempting to do with Enzo but it was proving impossible. Just because Caroline didn't usually do this didn't mean she couldn't, I mean why not she was living a new life half way round the world on her own and was able to think for herself, she was so sick of trying to be responsible all the time.
Enzo glanced at Caroline who was looking out the window now deep in thought, he didn't know what she was thinking about but it was obviously distracting enough to tear her away from the cab, Enzo noticed her hand sitting on lap and put his over hers and squeezed while turning his attention back to damon, neither of them said anything nor looked at each other but Caroline squeezed back and didn't let his hand go.
"Ah here we are!" Enzo declared as the taxi pulled up outside the boarding house.
Caroline quickly said goodbye to Damon and bonnie, promising to text her tomorrow after they had exchanged numbers earlier in the night. Caroline stepped out the cab followed closely behind her by Enzo, damon got out too but only to give his friend a hug.
"A phone call doesn't go a miss you know! You don't need to just show up and surprise me next time!" Damon shouted from the taxi as he slid into the back seat with bonnie.
The two walked together up the stairs,
"Have you sobered up as much as I have?" Enzo chuckled as they walked along the hall together.
"Yeah tell me about it, my vampire alcohol tolerance level is a joke, I miss the days of getting absolutely hammered on two drinks." Caroline laughed.
Enzo stopped as they were passing his door, Caroline assumed they were going straight down the hall to her room, she stopped and turned to look at him.
"I have whiskey." He grinned, that grin that no one could be mad at, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Is that your way of luring me back to your layer?" Caroline raised an eyebrow, struggling to contain a laugh.
Enzo reached forward and opened his door letting it swing open in front of them.
Caroline rolled her eyes at him and laughed, before wandering into his room and removing her jacket. She collapsed on his couch and took of her shoes.
"God I hate clubs." She let out a big breath as she relaxed.
The night wasn't going how she had planned it in her head an hour ago, when she was thinking about getting Enzo home and ripping his clothes off, doing exactly what she should. But here she was sitting on his couch, her buzz slightly gone, but totally relaxed in his company chilling out and complaining about how much her feet hurt.
Enzo laughed from the other side of the room where he was getting a bottle of whiskey and two shot glasses.
"Me too. Your lucky I even went." He teased.
"Then why did you go?" Caroline teased right back.
Enzo came over and sat at the other side of the couch and put down the bottle and glasses on the table in front of them, he began to pour two shots
"I'm finding it extremely difficult to say no to you, sweetheart." He said with a tinge of humour in his voice but he was completely serious, and Caroline knew that.
They both downed their shots, then another two, and another two..
Caroline stood up and padded around his room in her bare feet exploring, skimming her finger along the books in his bookshelf.
"Well since you're making yourself comfortable.." Enzo teased, as he kicked off his shoes, and pulled his T-shirt over his head, his leather jacket had already been discarded over the back of the sofa.
"Hey what're you doing!" Caroline giggled, she was slightly more drunk now.
"Getting comfy." He grinned, and it was totally infectious.
"Fine but that's enough, pants stay on! God knows you being topless already does things to me." Caroline said quietly, kind of to herself more than to him, but she blurted it out in her drunken state before she knew any better and she knew he heard.
Enzo almost choked on his drink as she said it, he sat forward so not to spill it all over himself and looked at her laughing.
"Is that right" he teased her, as he stood up and moved towards her at vamp speed taking her by surprise.
Enzo was standing directly in front of her now and was looking at her sweetly.
"You're very cute when you're drunk." He added while looking down at her with that infectious grin.
"So are you, not so prone to snarky comments when intoxicated I've noticed." She answered honestly.
"That's not a drunk thing, that's a Caroline thing." He said.
"Well ain't I a lucky gal." Caroline said sarcastically.
Enzo's heart was racing, he knew she was interested, it was confirmed earlier that night. He didn't want to scare her away by making a move before she was ready, he didn't know her story, it had to be her move, she had to initiate it, and she had to know that the ball was in her court, he didn't want to walk on eggshells around her anymore.
"I don't know what your story is miss Forbes but you're unlike any woman I've ever met." He said as he dropped his head to one side while looking at her.
".. and I know you want to kiss me Caroline, I can see it in the way you're looking at me, but I'm a patient man and I can wait until you're ready." He added his voice low and husky.
Caroline stared directly into his eyes, her eyes were a mixture of fear and excitement, his were fixed on her awaiting some sort of response. Then Caroline absentmindedly thought about what she had told herself in the cab, just because she normally didn't do this, didn't mean she shouldn't, there was something different about him, he wasn't like any man she had ever met either.
"What if I don't want to wait?" Caroline whispered, never taking her eyes off his as they stood inches apart.
Enzo's face was still dead serious, but hearing those words from her.. His gaze burned into hers more intensely and he stepped closer to her ever so slightly.
"Then do it." He dared her, in that low husky way.
Caroline felt a pull deep in her stomach at his words, her blue eyes burned into his brown and his back into hers. The tension between them was higher than it had been up until now. Both of them were breathing heavily as they stood looking at each other in silence for a beat. She had to do it now.
Caroline's eyes dropped to Enzo's lips, then back up to his eyes.
Caroline lifted her hands and wrapped them around Enzo's neck, as she stood on her tiptoes and crashed her lips into his. Caroline's kiss was reciprocated and met by a low growl of satisfaction from his throat. He wrapped his arms round her body and pulled her tight to his. They were all breaths and hands, like all the anticipation from the past few days had all built and released its self in this one moment, like they couldn't get enough of each other.
The kissing stopped as the two pulled their heads back and looked at each other, Enzo smiled that infectious smile of his and Caroline returned it.
Then instantly their lips met again as Enzo grabbed Caroline and pushing her against the nearest wall with a thud, he pressed his body against hers trapping Caroline against the wall. Enzo's kiss was heavy with need and passion, his hands explored her body over her hips and waist, grabbing tightly everywhere they touched trying to pull he closer, being pressed up against each other didn't seem close enough. His hands brushed up Caroline's bare back over her shoulder blades as his hands came up to Caroline's hair, he grabbed the hair tie keeping it up and pulled it causing Caroline's beautiful blonde hair to fall down over her shoulders and back. His hands were in her hair as his tongue explored her mouth and hers explored his.
Caroline's heart was pounding, his touch was everything she needed in that moment. Her hands traveled up his strong bare arms to his shoulders, then she ran them through his hair and gave it a small tug, causing Enzo to groan low in his throat again, his reaction was winding Caroline even tighter, she needed him now.
Enzo's lips traveled down to Caroline's neck where he trailed passionately rough kisses down and over her collarbone, he pulled her dresses strap to the side as he went. Caroline tipped her head back, soaking in all the pleasure she was feeling from his erotic teasing. As he moved and repeated the process on the other side, Caroline was about to combust at his touch. She let out a moan and Enzo was smiling, although she wasn't looking at him, her eyes were pointed in the direction of the ceiling.
Enzo stepped back and looked at Caroline's eyes
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He whispered.
"Yes." Caroline replied simply, as she looked back up at him.
With that Caroline stepped forward and took matters into her own hands, she lifted her hands to her back and undid the small dipper which at this point was the only thing keeping her dress on. Enzo had pulled the straps away from her shoulders just moments ago. Their eyes burned into one another, her eyes never left his as she unfastened her dress causing it to fall at a pool at her feet. Her heart was racing, she hadn't been wearing a bra and was now standing in front of him in nothing but her underwear. Her eyes still fixed on his.
Enzo's heart was pounding in his chest, she looked glorious. He kept his eyes fixated on hers, but before long couldn't keep his mouth away from hers and they were kissing once more, Enzo moaned at the skin to skin contact the two now had, just to have her in his arms like this was enough. He leaned down, grabbing her legs and lifting Caroline so her legs were wrapped around his waist, his hands pressed firmly to her back forcing Caroline's body flat against his as he moved over to the bed vamp speed and tossed Caroline down on it, causing Caroline to giggle. Enzo climbed on top of her, kissing her neck, then moving agonisingly slowly down her collarbone again, and down to her breasts.
Caroline's breathing was heavy as he took her breast in his mouth, sucking and teasing her slowly, Caroline wriggled on the bed tipping her head back with a moan as he continued with his slow torture, moving to her other nipple. Caroline looked down at him and their eyes met as he looked up at her. She had her hands in his now messy hair as he continued to run his mouth further down her body. Enzo was getting closer and closer to the place Caroline was longing for him to explore, more than anything now. He hooked his expert fingers underneath her underwear and pulled them off quickly before kneeling between Caroline's legs. He simply looked at her for a moment, examining the beauty that lay in front of him. He then got down on his front, still between her legs as Caroline looked down at him, he left kisses all the way down her hipbone teasing Caroline once more, before his mouth was finally there. Enzo's expert tongue explored Caroline, his tongue circling her clitorous, Caroline's back buckled as he pleasured her, the need for him was building inside her more and more with every passing moment. Enzo picked up the pace and was more rough now, driving Caroline crazy, she could feel the build up in her stomach, she ran her fingers through his hair tugging at it as his arms wrapped around her thighs tightly and he pressed his mouth against her more firmly. Caroline was building, she could feel it coming, Enzo wasn't making it that easy for her though, and so he stopped
"Hey!" Caroline whined.
Enzo didn't say anything, he knew what he was doing to her, he just smiled his infectious smile as he stood and removed his jeans and boxers quickly.
Caroline's eyes were fixated on his as he moved back to the bed, he looked glorious in his naked state, she couldn't wait any longer.
Enzo was on top of her once more, they were both naked now, nothing between them, nothing stopping them, breathing heavily as they looked into each other's eyes in a moment of pure vulnerability. Enzo's arms rested next to Caroline's head and their bare skin was pressed up against each other, his eyes never left hers as he positioned himself between her legs, gazing intently at her, and then he was inside her. His face was one of pure pleasure and his mouth opened as he moaned, Caroline tipped her head back and let out a loud moan as he moved deeper inside. Enzo let out a growl as he buried his face in her neck, then he started to move.
Enzo grabbed Caroline's hands as he moved inside her and pinned them to the bed above her head, he kissed her lips passionately and continued to trail kisses over her neck and chest as Caroline fought against her restraints, but Enzo's hands were pushing down on hers so she couldn't move, it was hot. Caroline groaned under him driving Enzo crazy, he let go of her hands and quickly rolled onto his back and lifted Caroline with him so that she was on top of him, she was in control.
Caroline looked down at him, hungry with desire, she started to move on top of him. She placed her hands hands on his beautiful chest and he grabbed her hips, as she threw her head back and started moving up and down on top of him. The two of them groaned with pleasure as they started to build. Enzo couldn't take the distance for more than a minute before he sat up while Caroline was astride him so their faces were inches apart. Caroline wrapped her arms round his neck as their mouths found each other once more and Enzo wrapped his around her waist, his hands digging into her back as the two moved together. Caroline could feel herself building and building and dug her fingernails into Enzo's back as she started to quiver with sensation. She was grinding on top of him moving faster and faster as he grabbed her even tighter, growling into her neck.
Enzo was building closer too, he could feel her tighten around him. He moved back and grabbed head pulling it so they were nose to nose, breathing heavily as they moved.
"Let go Caroline." He growled.
Him saying her name like that was enough to make Caroline let go, she opened her mouth and let out a moan, grinding on top of him, tugging on his hair as the two were nose to nose. Waves of pleasure came over her body as she came loudly and uncontrollably, shaking on top of him. In that moment of pure sensation Enzo let go too, emptying himself inside her as he let out a harsh groan and stiffened, gripping Caroline tightly to his body. They were all breath and no words as they stayed there for a moment looking into each other's eyes, they collapsed on the bed, Caroline lying on top of Enzo's torso.
The two of them just lay there, neither of them knowing how much time had passed, Caroline had moved to Enzo's side and was lying in the crook under his arm with her arm over his front while he still lay on his back, his hand brushing Caroline's bare back as the two lay talking.
"I better text elena tell her I got home safe" Caroline said tiredly while sitting up to find her phone.
Enzo grabbed Caroline and she fell back down on the bed and back into his arms, with both arms wrapped around her now he wasn't letting her get up.
"Don't you dare get out of this bed." He laughed, looking at Caroline as the two lay on their sides nose to nose. "You can text her in the morning." Enzo said sweetly, tightening his grasp around her.
"You should be thanking her, it was her that convinced me to get into your bed." Caroline teased, running her hands through his hair.
Enzo raised an eyebrow in mock surprise..
"And here I thought I'd done it all on my own." He teased.
"You did." Caroline said softly. "I just needed a nudge.. Things have been looking up these past couple of days after meeting you and all, I was just scared that if it didn't work out and I lost you, I'd be all alone again." Caroline whispered, the fear clear in her voice.
Enzo's mind drifted and he remembered how she'd been alone since she turned without any help from another vampire, it was understandable that she was glad shed met him and didn't want to lose the support he offered her from the vampire side of things. Why had she been alone? Enzo looked at her sweetly, her head had fallen and she wasn't looking at him anymore. He reached out and grabbed her chin, lifting her head up.
"Don't worry, you're not alone." He whispered, looking at her lovingly.
Caroline half smiled, tightening her grip around him.
"Why did you come to London Caroline?" Enzo said quietly, he wasn't sure if she would want to answer it or if the question was a bit too soon, but it had been on his mind for the past few days.
Caroline looked up at him, this was getting real fast, but if they were going to have a real chance she had to be completely honest with him. She sighed a long sad sigh and propped her arm up resting her head on her hand as she lay on her side. Enzo was bellow her still lying flat on the bed, but he lifted his hand and was skimming his fingers up and down her arm as she looked down at him. Caroline absentmindedly scratched nothing off of the sheet as she looked down at her finger.
"I fled." She whispered before looking up at him. "I was chased out of my home town by some bad people who wanted to kill me when they found out what I was, one of whom was my father." She added her voice catching in her throat as she said it. Caroline continued..
"My mom was the one who told me to run, and I couldn't tell her or anyone where I was going for my own protection, she just told me to run and never come back, and so I did.. I left my life without a thought and have been on my own since. It was my only choice." Caroline whispered.
Enzo's heart broke for the sweet girl in front of him, all he wanted to do was protect her from anything that could cause her any pain. The thought that her own father wanted her dead must have been the worst thing she'd ever felt, then on top of that having to flee and be alone without any family in such a highly emotional time of transitioning. She was a saint for getting out of bed in the morning.
Enzo grabbed her and pulled her in close, her head pressed against his chest, Enzo's fingers moved though her hair as he squeezed her into his body, kissing her forehead.
"You're the strongest woman I've ever met." He whispered between forehead kisses. "..and you're not alone anymore.. and won't be again if I've anything to do with it.. Can't get rid of me that easily." He added with a hint of humour in his voice to lighten the mood but he was entirely serious, he never wanted to let her go, he just wanted her to stay in his arms where he could protect her from all that could hurt her.
Caroline smiled into his chest and tightened her arms round him. She felt better having told someone, and she was sure there was a lot more to be talked about from both of them, but for tonight that was enough.
Their talk had left them both relaxed and Caroline had returned to her spot with her head resting on Enzo's shoulder and his hand stroking her back, the day had been long and it was late, before they knew it they were drifting into sleep together.
Enzo slept peacefully without any bad dreams, he in fact had a few good ones, waking up drenched in sweat mid scream was something Enzo had grown accustomed to over the years, every time being brought back to being tortured and cut open, it was like the pain was happening all over again. He hadn't had a night terror since his blonde haired angel had arrived on his doorstep, and having her so close helped Enzo fall asleep peacefully, there was no way Enzo was letting her go, she was his saviour as much as he was hers.
