"So are you going to let me in or what?" Damon smirked

Elena blinked rapidly "Damon!" she was lost for words. "How? What?"

Stefan wasn't much better.

"Damon…I can't believe you would…"

"Stefan help him inside!" Elena said

Damon sighed. "It's fine, I can walk perfectly alright." He rolled his eyes when Stefan ducked under his arm pit and half carried him inside.

Stefan set him on the couch and Elena paced the floor in front of him.

"Elena, calm down." Damon smiled

Elena glared at him. "seriously." She said looking at him "Did you discharge yourself?"

"No." Damon said honestly. "I just got up and walked out."

"How?" Stefan asked.

"Well I pulled out my wires, Stefan, and then I got up and walked out to the nurses' station. There was no one around so I walked down the corridor and into the staff room. I opened a few lockers and found a sports bag. I got changed and walked out of the building." He replied calmly

Stefan chuckled "I can't believe it."

"Damon" Elena began "Do you realise that someone is going to get into serious trouble when they find a patient is missing?"

"Of course I do." Damon said sharply "That is why I left a note on the chart at the end of my bed. I explained that I was planning on going home for Christmas and that I'd come back on the 26th and that I was sorry…"

Elena sighed. At least that was something. She wasn't mad that he was here, she was worried.

Damon sighed "Elena…please stop pacing. It's going to be fine."

She stopped and sat down beside him. "Look Damon, we need to get you back."

She watched his eyes widen. "No way. I went to all that effort for nothing? Come on this is Jenny's first Christmas, our first Christmas, I've got my brother back…please let me enjoy this."

She knew where he was coming from but she still worried.

"Wait…" Stefan interjected "How exactly did you get here?"

Damon grimaced "I got a cab."

"Where did you get the money?"

"I didn't have any…I told the driver I'd forgotten my wallet on the way and I hoped he'd be okay with it seeing as it was Christmas eve, good will to all men and all but he practically threw me into the snow. Luckily it was only a few blocks away from here when he tossed me."

"Oh God." Elena said putting her head in her hands as Stefan roared with laughter. "Don't encourage him Stefan."

Damon grinned a little. "Come on Elena. Cheer up."

She looked up when he pulled her hands down and took them in his own.

"I'm worried about you." She said in a low voice "What if something happens?"

Damon sighed and laced her fingers with his. "I know you are, and I love you for it…but I'm really fine. It's just for one day."

"You promise you'll go back if you feel unwell?" she added

"Promise." Damon said quickly

"Okay." Elena said, smiling against her better judgement

"Yes!" Damon said enthusiastically "Get me a beer Stef…kidding, kidding…" he added when Elena scowled

A short while later Elena found Damon in Jenny's room.

"Just saying goodnight." He said knowing she was there. Elena walked quietly to him and wrapped her arms carefully around his chest, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you're here." She whispered as he stroked Jenny's hair.

Damon turned around to face her and answered "Me too. Let's go to bed."

They went to Elena's room, she clicked on the small lamp as he closed the door behind them. She watched as Damon kicked off his shoes.

Then he was looking at her in a way that made her flush inside and out. His eyes were dark and she felt her whole body tighten from across the room. No one ever looked at her like this before; no one had ever made her feel like this.

She was rooted to the spot as he walked slowly towards her. He reached for her and pulled her tightly into him, if it hurt him he didn't show it. He wrapped her hair around his hand and pulled lightly making her head tilt. Elena's eyes fluttered closed just in time as his lips crushed hers. He kissed her hungrily and she knew how much he's missed her because she'd missed him more.

Elena groaned into his mouth as his tongue danced with hers. Eventually they broke apart.

"Do you know how long I've been wanting to do that?" he rasped in her ear.

"God, Damon…" she whispered. She pushed him back gently and he lay down on the bed. Elena climbed onto him and straddled his hips. She unzipped the grey hoodie he'd borrowed and pushed it from his shoulders before she lifted his arms and peeled the white V neck tee shirt he had on. She marvelled at his toned torso for a second until she carefully peeled back the bandage over his wound. The stitches were clean and tidy and Elena dropped her head and kissed her way up his body, every part of him was beautiful. She noticed the skin around his stitches was slightly hotter than the rest but she continued licking and sucking her was up his chest. It was when she was sucking and kissing into his neck and collar bone that she felt his rock hard erection rising beneath her.

Making haste Elena climbed off him and pulled his jogging bottoms and boxers off. She sat up on her knees.

"Keep still; I don't want you to burst your stitches…"

Damon raised his eyesbrow, his eyes doing that sexy thing that they did. He drove her wild.

Shaking her head to clear it a little, she leaned over and grasped Damon's erection in her hand. She brought her lips to the head and kissed it. She heard his intake of breath and it spurred her on. Elena parted her lips and moulded her lips over his helmet and sucked on it like a piece of candy, Damon gave her a deserved groan. She fondled his balls while her mouth worked his shaft, licking the pre cum reward. As she bent forward she felt Damon's hand slide up the back of her top causing her body to tingle, she gasped when he undid her bra strap and she felt it ping forward. She pulled her mouth from his dick with a smile when he lifted her arms and removed her top. He slid her bra down over her arms and tossed it across the room.

"Come here." Damon murmured moving forward; Elena met him with her lips, her hands cupping his unshaven face as she inhaled him. She kissed him deeply, one of those kisses that should be illegal while his hands rolled over her aching breasts. She shifted her body tighter into him, wrapping one arm around his neck and holding his face to hers while she dropped the other down and began pleasuring him with her hand.

She worked her hand, squeezing his thick cock, desperate to please him…

Damon broke away from their kiss, he was panting. Elena rested her forehead against his as she sped her hand further and with a cry of her name he came hard over her hand. She slowed her motions, making sure she spilled every last drop of him…

Damon fell back then into the pillows and Elena rolled down beside him. She reached across for some tissues to clean them up when she noticed the time. They were well into Dec 25th…

"Happy first Christmas." She said

Damon smiled "Happy first Christmas, Elena." He said before he kissed her again…
