Chapter 5: Back to Work

The sun rose over the city of Manhattan, disturbing people as they slept. A sunday morning. It was rarely empty, but today the streets were deserted. They called Sunday the lazy days. People sitting at home on their couch, watching films, stuffing themselves until they couldn't move or getting a takeout before they started their weekly routine again.

The brunette moaned quietly, rays of sun shining on her face, drawing her from her peaceful sleep. Opening her eyes, she frowned as she rubbed her hand over her face, confused. Where was she? Sitting up, she looked around as she remembered the night before and looked beside her to see no sign of Damon. Maybe he left as soon as she fell asleep? Chewing her lip, she closed her eyes and suddenly looked up when she heard the shower. He hadn't left...he stayed the whole night.

"Mmhm." Running her fingers through her locks of hair, she got up, tugging on her underwear and bra as she looked around. She slept with Damon Salvatore.
"I got sunshine on a cloudy day." Damon sang as he washed himself, running his fingers through his hair.
"Now I've heard it all." Elena laughed, shaking her head as she looked around, walking over and tugged on Damon's shirt, leaving it unbuttoned.

Walking out, she looked around and rubbed her arms. She tried not to think about it, but she had to. What was going to happen now? She had slept with her boss, he could sack her whenever he felt like it. Oh, she'd fucked up. Rubbing her face, she sat on the couch as she let out a breath and tried not to panic. It will be okay, it was a one time thing. Maybe if she got out of here before he got out of the shower.

Rising to her feet, she rushed over picking up her heels that she had discarded last night and slipped them on as she hurried into the bedroom and looked around for her dress. Where was it? Looking around, she seen it and walked over, pulling Damon's shirt off as she slipped the dress on, smoothing it down her body. What was she going to do? If she got fired, it wouldn't look good on her application. Being fired by Damon Salvatore, most known man in the world. Just great.

"Going somewhere?" Straightening up, she let out a small breath, slowly turning around as she seen Damon with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Yes. I'm leaving." The brunette responded, picking up her bag as she fixed her earrings, trying to ignore the water dripping down his defined chest.
"Any particular reason your running?" Damon leaned in the doorway, looking her over as he licked his lips.
"I'm not running. I'm just leaving. You got what you needed, you fucked me. Now we can go back to normal." She told him, swallowing nervously.
"Who said we were done? Who said I was DONE with you?" Raising an eyebrow, she watched as his blue eyes shined with amusement.
"I say we are done and you ARE done with me. I'm not your sex toy. You want one of those, dial the number for hoes." Elena snapped as she hugged herself.

Looking over at him, she seen a smirk grazing his lips and he rubbed his fingers against his chin as if he were discovering a secret in his head. He began walking towards her as she moved backwards, her heart spiking. She couldn't lose now. She was doing well. She needed to walk out the door.

"Miss Gilbert, I don't know when I ever treated you like a 'hoe' or said you were one." Damon spoke slowly, stepping closer as she moved back.
"Last night was enough of a hint. From the moment I started working as your P.A, you've treated me like I'm there for your pleasure whenever you feel like it."

"You are my personal assistant after all Elena. Last night was fun for the both of us." Smirking, he moved closer as she moved back, hitting the wall and cursed.
"All you've said since you've met me is that you wanted to fuck me. Well guess what? You got your fuck, now get over it." The brunette responded, hugging the wall.
"Get over it? Miss Gilbert, I don't think you understand that you're the best I've had in a while. Why would I get over it?" Pressing his hands to either side of her head, he leaned down, pressing light kisses along her forehead.

Letting out a shaky breath, she closed her eyes in response, enjoying the feather like kisses and sweetness of the gesture. He was a player, he fucked, he doesn't make love. Don't fall for it. Opening her eyes, she stared up at him, swallowing.

"Because you know its the best thing to do." The brunette spoke as he looked down at her, brushing his thumb across her cheek.
"No. I reckon the best thing I'd do is drag you back into bed and fuck you, but we're trying to resolve problems."
"So glad your considerate." Elena snapped, glaring up at him as he tilted her chin, smashing his lips against hers as he gripped her hair, tugging her closer, drawing a moan from her.

"You and your god damn smart mouth." Damon murmured, biting her lower lip and pulls at it, "Go get a shower, freshen up. I'll be waiting."
"What? N-" He pressed his finger to her lips.
"Now." He told her, walking out as she glared after him, huffing and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door.

Looking around the suite, Elena licked her lips and rubbed her legs, playing with the tie on the white robe. Looking up, she watched Damon as he was ordering breakfast up to the room. Letting out a breath, she swallowed. She knew they had a lot to talk about. What was going to happen? She wasn't ready for a relationship, or maybe she was and she didn't know it. I think the biggest elephant in the room is the fact that she works for him.

"Right, it will be about 20 minutes." Damon told her, putting the phone back on its holder as he sat on the couch opposite her, taking in her appearance.

"Damon...look...last night-" The brunette started, trying to find the right for it.
"Was incredible. I don't know what you're getting so worked up about." He responded, rubbing his hands together as she let out a sigh.
"You're my boss and you're a player. KINDA equals the reason don't cha think?" Elena questioned, giving him a look as he smirked.

"What? You think I'm gonna sack you when I'm 'fed' up of you?" She blushed, looking down and cleared her throat.
"Look, I'm no good for you," She got up, hugging herself, "I'll drive you crazy. I have secrets." She tried to explain.
"Your not good for me?" He laughed, shaking his head, "Your saying that to the player?" Damon questioned as she laughed, knowing it was stupid.

"Damon-" She started again and he pulled her in between his legs so she was standing in front of him.
"No. You listen now. Let's not call THIS," He said, pointing between them, "Anything and just go along with it, you might find you'll like it Miss Gilbert."

She licked her lip, tilting her head when he kissed her stomach through the robe and tried to think. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, it's not like there was a death threat hanging over her head if she didn't leave him. Running her fingers through his hair, she gripped the black locks lightly and licked her lips.

"I guess it wouldn't be so terrible." She responded softly as he pushed open her robe, nuzzling his nose against her stomach.
"Now that's what I like to hear." Damon told her, kissing just above her panties as she let out a breath.

"You're unbelievable. Are you always on the clock?" He tugged her down, so she was straddling him and set his hands on her waist.
"Only when I have a beautiful goddess sat upon me." He kissed her neck, moving up her jaw and joined their lips, moving his hands into her hair.

Moaning into the kiss, she pressed her hands to his chest, slowly skimming her fingertips down and over his abs as she tickled her nails along his snail trail, causing him to groan and bite her lip. Moving her tongue into his mouth, she fought as much as she could, but Damon had the upper hand as he bit on her tongue, causing her to groan and pull back, glaring at him.

"What?" He shrugged innocently and looked up as he heard a knock on the door, "Room service."

Lifting her off his lap, he set her down beside him as he got up and made his way to the door. Elena wrapped the robe around herself, tying it up again as she got comfy and rubbed her leg. The door opened as the guy pushed the trolley in, a smile on his face as Damon gave him a nod and tipped him as the guy left the room, closing the door behind him.

"How much did you tip him?" Elena raised an eyebrow curiously as she rested her arms on the back of the couch, watching him.
"£100, why?" Raising an eyebrow, he looked through the containers as she went wide-eyed.
"£100, for bringing us breakfast?" She shook her head, "You amaze me."

"Yeah yeah." He got plates from under the trolley, "I got pancakes and syrup, is that good for you?"
"That's really good." Elena responded as he walked over and passed her the plate and sat beside her.

Taking a bite, Elena licked her lips, moaning in approval and took more bites as Damon grinned over at her, eating his own. Hearing her phone ring, she reached forward, grabbing her purse off the table and opened it, grabbing her phone as she flipped it open.

"Hello?" She greeted as she took another bite.
"Hey Elena, it's Matt." He responded with a smile.
"Matt, hey!" She grinned, "How are you? How's England? When are you getting back?"
"One question at a time Lena." He laughed, "London is amazing. So much better than the pictures and I'm okay. I'll not be back for a while yet."
"That sucks. You better let me know when you do get back." She told him, taking another bite.
"I will, I promise. I gotta go, girls calling my name." He laughed, hanging up as she smiled, hanging up too.

Licking her lips, she put the plate down on the table and turned around to see Damon glaring at her, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in confusion.

"What?" Elena asked.
"Who was that?" He questioned, his blue eyes lit with fire as she smirked.
"Mr Salvatore, if I didn't know better, I'd say YOU were jealous." The brunette told him, feeling proud.

"I'm insanely jealous of any guy you talk to." He responded as he put the plate down, crossing his arms, causing her to laugh.
"Oh Damon." Straddling him, she placed her hands on his cheeks, brushing her lips over his face lightly, "He's my best friend. I haven't already switched."

He grinned up at her, taking her hands in his and tugged her close, pressing kisses to her throat as she tilted her head back, letting out a breath as he kisses up her chin and tilted her head down, kissing her as she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling at it.

"Okay that's it. We need a little romp." Damon told her, getting up as her threw her over his shoulder causing her to shriek as he walked into the bedroom, shutting the door.

Walking up the hall, she held the files to her chest as she brushed herself down. She was pretty happy that she got into work early because it meant she finished earlier. Nancy had some files put on her desk, which was needed for Damon to be done ASAP. Luckily, she had done the files in half an hour tops. Smiling at Nancy, she walked to the door.

"Good morning Nancy." Elena greeted, knocking on Damon's door as Nancy nodded at her and went back to her work.

"Come in." Damon called out as she walked in, closing the door over to see him on the computer, typing away.
"Mmhm...you look so sexy when you're concentrating.." Elena commented with a smirk as he turned in his chair, grinning.
"I thought you weren't in yet." He replied as she walked over, placing the files on his desk.

"Came in early. Means I can finish earlier." She told him, smiling, "These are the files for you conference. You have a meeting at 12 with the partners." "Thanks." He picked up the files, looking through them and licked his lips, flipping through them.

Elena smiled as he read through them and walked over to the window, looking out at the city. It was beautiful. She couldn't believe how fascinating it looked from someone so high up. She watched the sun sparkling high in the sky, lightening everyone's moods.

"What are you doing after work?" Elena turned around, seeing Damon standing right behind her, causing her heart to race.
"Nothing that I know of. Why?" Biting her lip, she watched as he brought his hand up, stroking her hair back.
"Just wondering if you'd be interested in going to see a movie?" He raised an eyebrow as she smiled up at him.
"I'd like that." She told him as he leaned down, kissing her.
"Good." He walked back over to his desk, sitting down, "Do you think you could just research this for me?"

She walked over, taking the folder he was holding out as she flipped through it, reading it carefully, a smile on her face as he watched her intently.

"Seems easy to me. I'll have it done before your meeting." Elena told him, leaning across the desk, she kissed him and pulled away, patting his cheek as she walked out closing the door behind her. Grinning, he chuckled and turned in his chair, getting back to work.
