Chapter 2: Mr Hot Boss Control Freak

The rain came down fast, pelting the ground with all its might. It seemed angry, unfortunately, it was just hitting winter and they were getting all the cold and bad weather. It had been a couple of weeks since Elena had started at Damon's firm and everything seemed to be running smoothly, except the sexual tension between them every time they were in the same room. It was at a meeting that she attended, that she noticed more as Damon was directing his words towards her more than the organizers he was having the meeting with.

The rain was getting heavier and unfortunately, it was one of those days where Elena's car wasn't in the mood for moving, so she had to send it into repair, meaning she had to walk in this terrible weather. The weather wasn't even the worse part for her, it was the fact that she had to walk an hour and a half to reach work. She wasn't a fan of buses and taxis, even in terrible weather, so it was down to walking and her umbrella wasn't helping conceal the rain from soaking her.

Hearing beeping, she jumped in her heels and swallowed, looking behind her to see a limo pulling up and frowned as the driver got out and walked towards her with a professional smile.

"Get in miss." The guy told her politely as she raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Uhm. I'm good thank you." The brunette told him, not so sure about getting into a strangers limo, no matter how nice it would have been to get away from the rain.
"I insist miss." He told her, urging her to the limo as he opened the door.

Sighing softly, she put her umbrella down and climbed into the limo as the door was shut behind her. Looking up, she came to face with blue eyes and a devilish looking smirk, that sent shivers up and down her spine. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she tried to contain her composure.

"Good morning Elena Gilbert." Damon murmured approvingly as his eyes lingered on her legs, causing her to blush and try to calm her nerves.
"Mr Salvatore." Nodding softly, she twiddled her fingers, looking away from him, "Uhm, thank you for the lift...sir. I was okay."
"Do you walk everyday?" Raising an eyebrow, he watched her in interest, his eyes lingering on the end of the dress.
"No, my car just decided to take a time out today. It doesn't usually happen." Elena told him, looking at him as he grinned, showing interest.

"Is that so?" Quirking an eyebrow, it showed he was teasing a light blush covered her cheeks as she looked away, clearing her throat.
"Would you like to go over your meetings that you have today?" Rubbing her leg as a nervous gesture, she looked towards him, biting her lip.
"You know what I would REALLY like to do Elena...?" Licking his lips, he moved closer to her as she looked at him in alarm, not knowing what to do and swallowed.
"Wh...what would that b...be Sir?" Elena questioned nervously, feeling the energy radiating between them and knew it was a bad sign. A very bad sign.

Ever since she walked into his office, she knew there was going to be trouble. Every time they were this close together, they were always interrupted and it annoyed her like hell. But now no one's interrupting them and she wishes they would. What's going on with her mood swings?

"I'd like to talk about my conference tonight." Damon told her with a smirk as she looked at him in disbelief, feeling flushed. Bastard!
"R...right." Turning away from him, she dug into her bag, looking for the folder that she had put together for him and sighed in relief, when she felt the soft leather.
"Found it?" His blue eyes sparkled in amusement as he leaned closer to her.

"Yup...right here." She responded, not giving him direct eye contact and flipped through until she found the page, "What did you want to know?"
"Time?" He questioned, rubbing his fingers against his chin.
"6 sir." Elena told him, looking at all the information on the book in front of her, "Anything else?" Looking up at him, she seen desire in his eyes and swallowed.
"That will be all thanks...Elena." He hissed her name in delight as she looked out the window.

Oh was this day going to be hell or what?

Elena sat in her office, staring at the computer screen in front of her. Was it a bit stalkerish to be staring at her boss on Google when he was just down the hall? Sighing, she ran her fingers through her hair and leaned her head back, trying to contemplate about what was going on with the oh so mysterious blue-eyed Damon Salvatore. Unfortunately, this had been her thought than more for an hour and she still came up blank. She was going to give up soon, her head was filled with too many thoughts, not all of them being too innocent either.

Hearing a knock and the door opening, she jumped quick, knocking her computer screen off and looked up seeing Damon giving her a curious look as she let out a breath she was holding and got herself together.

"Can I help you sir?" Elena asked politely, even though she thought about banging his head against the wall.
"A meeting in 5 minutes, alright?" He gave a smile that made her melt and nod her head, not being able to talk.

Walking out, he closed the door behind him as she fell back into her chair with a sigh. Close call. Now she just had to survive through a meeting with him and his colleagues again. Yay. Not frustrating at all.

Rushing down the hall, she got to the meeting room and sighed annoyed, knowing she was going to be last again and she was going to go red a beet root, which wasn't good at the best of the times. Slowing down, she brushed herself down and smiled softly, opening the door to the meeting room and walked in, closing it behind her. Turning away from the door, she seen men looking at her with their predatory stares and swallowed, feeling relief flood through her, when her eyes connected with Damon's. Giving her a smile, she bit her lip, walking around the table to him and sat beside him, missing the glares he was giving to the other men at the table.

"Right...let's get this meeting started. The company is keeping up so far and I'd like it to stay that way, many of you had questions and requests, let me hear them."

Elena bit her lip, listening to him. He was so determined, so strong-minded. Taking a few notes, she went into deep thought. This man was confusing and so surprising at the same time. There was something about him. Like... a character from a book. An extraordinary character that is. Biting the end of her pen, she licked her lip as she was trying to think of what to write next. The fact that she wasn't listening didn't help her out. Rubbing her neck, she felt a ping of jealousy towards the fact that Caroline, her best friend was away in the sun somewhere and she was stuck here in work with a boss...a very hot boss.

"Elena?" She heard Damon's voice and lifted her head from her thoughts and looked into his eyes.
"Yes sir?" Smiling softly, he carried on with his conversation, causing her to frown and shrug and she went back to staring at her notepad.

Just as she was about to slip back into deep thought, she felt a hand on her leg and looked up, startled, seeing everyone else carrying on their conversation. What? Looking down, she seen it was Damon's hand and swallowed nervously. Fight him. You can do this. Be strong. Chewing her lip, she pushed his hand away as he turned his head to look at her with his eyebrow raised, causing her to smirk in return.

"Sorry sir. I have some work I have to get to. I hope you'll do fine without me."

Getting up, she walked out, fully aware that he was watching and hurried down the hall, feeling adrenaline passing through her. Walking into her office, she closed the door over and shrieked, calming down. Damon Salvatore just touched her leg. Her leg. HER leg. Uh...and SHE just pushed it off. Oh fuck.

Hearing a knock, she jumped up, her eyes wide and held her hand to her chest, feeling the pace of her heart picking up as she brushed herself down and stared at the door.

"Come in." Nancy walked in, shooting her daggers, surprisingly making her sigh in relief.
"Nancy, can I help you?" Elena crossed her arms, knowing this girl was going to be a problem from day one.
"This is for Mr Salvatore. I'm sure you can handle it, if' its not too hard." The blonde told her, glaring.
"Oh Nancy...sweetie...I can handle a lot of things and If I were you, I'd back off.. When I start handling it gets dangerous...you understand?"
"Uh...y...yeah." Rushing out, she left Elena smiling in glee and jumping about, punching her fist into the air. Don't mess with a bitch...bitch.

Another knock at the door made her frown. That girl was really wanting her head kicked in. Moving towards the door, she tried to keep calm and keep the scowl off her face as she pulled the door open.

"Nancy, we hav-" Seeing Damon, she froze and felt her breath catch in her throat as he looked her over.
"Elena."

Damon murmured, grabbing her face in his hands, smashing his lips against hers causing her to moan out in surprise and grip his hair tightly, causing
him to groan in response and kick the door shut. Leading her back towards the couch, he fisted her hair into his hand, nipping at her jaw and neck as she closed her eyes, desire flowing through her body, not realizing that she had been laid on the couch and Damon was hovering over her.

"You drive me insane." He whispered against her chest breathless, leaving a trail of kisses, leaving her in a state of bliss.
"That's unfortunate." She breathed out with a smirk, "We've just met."
"You and your smart mouth." Damon muttered, glaring down at her, his blue eyes on fire as she rolled her eyes and gripped his hair, pulling him down and kissing him deeply, showing him how she felt at the moment. Frustrated and turned on. Not the best combination.

A knock on the door interrupted them as Elena pushed him off and walked towards the door, fixing herself as she pulled it open, to reveal Nancy standing there with a nervous look on her face.

"Uhm." Her eyes widened slightly as she seen Damon sitting on the couch, giving her a cool smirk as he fixed his tie.
"Can I help you Nancy?" Elena questioned nervously, hoping she didn't sound to breathless.
"Uhm...files...Miss." Nancy told her, holding out a folder as Elena took it, skimming through it as Nancy rushed out causing the brunette to shake her head and laugh, closing the door over.

Walking to her desk, she put the folder down and looked over at Damon, feeling desire pooling within her as he got up, striding towards her with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Until next time Elena." He muttered, tipping her chin and kissed her, causing her to melt under his touch, "Next time you move my hand off your leg-"
"What?" She looked at him, seeing the warning in his eyes and rolled her eyes causing him to glare at her.
"I'll see you later." Swatting her behind, he left the room, leaving her wide-eyed and trying to catch her breath.

Well...that was a next step. Tamed and beaten. Amazing, simply amazing. Now she was in for a lot of shit and she had a feeling, it was only the beginning with Mr hot boss control freak.
