I know I promised there would be lots of smut in this chapter, but I lied. there is a lemon at the end but there will be more next chapter. it was getting too long. I hope you all enjoy this and let me know what you think.
PS I own nothing.
"It's just a coffee maker, how much of a difference can $20 make. Why can't we go with the cheaper version?" Elena demanded as Damon picked up the most expensive coffee maker he could find and placed it in their heaping cart.
"Because I know how you are in the mornings without your coffee. I am buying the expensive one so hopefully we can prolong the inevitable when the coffee maker breaks and you are coffee-less in the morning." he sighed. They had argued over every single item he had picked out. She was sure the cheaper models would be fine, but he was adamant that they should go for quality for her new apartment.
"I really doubt just because you buy me a cheaper model, that it will break within a week. The cheaper model isprobably just as good." she said.
"Then why the hell is it cheaper? Just do this my way. I beg of you. Stop arguing with me." he insisted as they walked through the department store.
"Fine. It's your money. I'll let you spend it as you wish, but please know I don't like this." she told him.
"You don't have to. Just remember this when you don't have a broken coffee maker in a few weeks." he said.
"I will." she said kissing him softly. They walked through the store, a new understanding making them get along a bit better for the duration of the shopping trip. Together they picked out all the appliances she needed, a few decorative items, a bedroom suite, and living room furniture. All the furniture was going to be delivered later on that afternoon, she was just happy she would have a bed to sleep in that night. Once they were finished they left and drove over to the apartment, meeting the landlord out front.
"Here are your keys. Rent is due the first of every month." he said.
"For sure." she said nodding.
"I paid you for the rent until the first of July. Do you not remember that conversation last week? You gave me a receipt and everything." he said.
"Oh right. Yes. Mr Salvatore. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding." he said apologizing quickly.
"I'm sure you are. Now we have some moving in to do. If you'll excuse us." he said grabbing a box and carrying it upstairs at human speed. Once the landlord was gone and Elena had invited him in, Damon started carrying items up the stairs at vampire speed while Elena sat on the counter watching him. She decided that when he was done, she would make sure he didn't do something wrong like compelling the landlord. When he came in with the last of the boxes and bags from the cars she stopped him.
"You didn't compel him did you? The landlord, to give me free rent?" she asked worried.
"No. I actually paid him real money until the first of July because I didn't want to have to worry about it. I know you don't like compulsion so I wouldn't do that to you." he assured her, standing between her partially spread legs.
"Okay. I trust you." she said smiling at him.
"Good." he told her before leaning in for a kiss. When they pulled apart she sighed looking at all the bags and boxes littering the floor.
"Where do we start?" she asked.
"Maybe we should do the kitchen, at least then there will be space for the couch and other furniture in the living room when it arrives." he said.
"Good plan." she agreed, knowing that most of the purchases littering the floor of the living room were for the kitchen. Between the two of them they washed everything down and plugged everything in. By the time the buzzer rang alerting them that the furniture had arrived, they were pretty much done. She had her hair up in a high ponytail and she was wearing jeans and a t shirt.
"First thing, I get an air conditioner in here." she groaned at the stifling heat in the apartment.
"I kinda like it. I mean the heat doesn't bother me, but it makes you all sweaty and hot." he said smirking as he opened the door for the guys carrying up the furniture. He stood with Elena by the kitchen island while they assembled and placed the furniture.
"Where do you want the stuff?" one of the movers asked.
"Just assemble and leave it where it is. We'll move it later." Damon said, since Elena hadn't decided where she wanted everything.
"The stuff is really heavy. I doubt you and the girl could move it by yourself." the man said looking appreciatively at Elena.
"We'll be fine." he said.
"I'll bring up the bedroom furniture and then we'll be done." the man said. Damon nodded shortly and moved into the living room.
"Where do you want the stuff?" Damon asked.
"TV stand against the wall. The couch in front of it." she said.
"Sounds good to me." he said easily moving the furniture with his vampire strength. After moving and removing it over and over again they had it positioned the way she wanted it before the guys returned with the bedroom furniture.
"Perfect." she said clapping her hands and sinking into the comfortable fabric couch. He sat down beside her as they heard the guys struggling with a piece of furniture.
"Movers nowadays. So weak." he said smirking.
"Not everyone has super vampire strength." she whispered. He grinned at her and had the pleasure of seeing the annoying movers jaw drop when he seen the newly positioned furniture in the living room.
"Let's go check out the bedroom." he said pulling her to her feet while they movers assembled the furniture. He pulled her in and they sat down on the bed while watching them.
'Where do you want this?" the mover who's name tag said Dan asked them.
"Um, against that wall there. I want my bedroom TV on it." she said.
"Certainly." he said opening checking her out. Damon couldn't really blame him, the way her t shirt was clinging to her chest because of the heat was more than reason enough to stare at her, but that didn't mean he had to like it.
"Her eyes are up here idiot." Damon said glaring at the guy.
"Excuse me?" Dan the mover demanded.
"I said in case you're deaf. Her eyes are up here." he said very slowly as he stood up to his full height and stared the man in the eyes. He gave up a couple inches to Dan but that didn't change anything.
"Baby just come sit down. Please." Elena said pulling his hand back towards her.
"Yeah. Do as your girlfriend says and sit down, before I lay you out on this floor. If she didn't want anyone to look, she wouldn't be dressed like that." he said taking another glance at her chest which was framed perfectly in the tight shirt. Elena blushed a deep scarlet colour at his comments. She didnt mean to be dressed anything but casually as they moved. It was the heat. Any chance of him letting it go was gone when he more or less called Elena a slut.
"Get the fuck out of here, before I beat the shit out of you." he hissed at him, not wanting to upset Elena by beating on him unless he provoked him more.
"I have to finish my job. If I don't finish I don't get paid." he said with a wide smirk on his face. For his part the other guy kept right on working not wanting to get involved. He seen Elena leave the room still a dark shade of red, and he heard the zip of her suit case.
"If she is changing her outfit because of your comments, I am going to kill you." he warned the guy.
"If she didn't want me looking, she wouldn't have worn a shirt that clung to her tits like that." Dan said speaking slowly, enunciating every word like he was speaking to someone of lesser intelligence.
"Okay dick, if you haven't noticed, its a thousand degrees in here. She is sweating, she's been working hard trying to make this apartment livable. I swear to God, if you made her insecure, I will kill you." he warned the guy.
"Damon, please lets just get this done." she begged coming back into the room with a heavy black sweater on.
"See, that's better. Now no one should complain." Dan said.
"Get the fuck out of this apartment right fucking now. I swear to God I will kill you." Damon said shoving the guy against the wall with incredible force.
"I have to finish my job." he ground out, unable to breath at the way Damon was holding him against the wall.
"No you don't. He will finish your job." he said pointing to the guy still working on the dresser.
"I want my money." he said.
"You will be lucky if I don't call your boss and accuse you of sexually harassing my girlfriend. Now get the fuck out of here." he hissed at him. He didn't even have to raise his voice to get his point across, and he didn't have to spout fangs and tear into his throat. The guy nodded this time and Damon released his throat.
"Go." he said angrily. Dan scurried out of the room and Damon sat back down satisfied with his handiwork.
"See, its all good now." he said smiling.
"You handled that much better than I expected." she said.
"I snapped." he corrected.
"Yeah. But you didn't kill him. Or vamp out. I really appreciate that." she whispered.
"I'm glad. I really tried. But he just pissed me off so bad." he sighed.
"I really am sorry about Dan." the other worker said.
"It'll be okay." Elena said sitting beside her still angry vampire boyfriend.
"What he said to you was so wrong. And believe me, I can feel the heat in this room and I can understand your point of view. He embarrassed the company. I'm sorry about his behaviour." he said as he continued working.
"It's fine. But I will be putting a complaint in though." Elena said knowing Damon would want that. Damon appeared satisfied at her side before he rose to his feet.
"I'll give you a hand with that." he said helping the guy move the furniture to the spot that Elena wanted it. They were done quickly and Damon shook the guys hand.
"Don't worry we will only single out Dan in Elena's complaint. You are safe." he assured the guy.
"Thank you. I am sorry about that." he said.
"It's okay." Damon told him as he left the room. They both heard the front door shut and Elena stood up.
"It looks pretty great in here." she said.
"It does." he said standing behind her. He wrapped his arms around her frame, pulling her close to him. She rested her head on his chest and he tightened his arms.
"This feels amazing. I feel free. Finally." she sighed.
"I'm glad. Now do you want to spend your first day on your own, alone. Or do you want me to stay with you?" he asked.
"I want to spend it together." she said leaning her head back and kissing him.
"Okay. But I do have to run out for a few minutes. I will be back in a few." he said kissing her and untangling himself from her embrace.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To grab some food for the human. I'll be back in a few minutes." he said kissing her once more before he left. She smiled and left the bedroom to start unpacking some of her personal items. She took all the photos she had hung from her bulletin board and placed them in the photo frames her mom bought her. She hung the frames from the wall over the TV and smiled at her handiwork. She was impressed that the frames were not only straight but even with the one below it. When she was done she sat down on the couch awaiting Damon with her food for the night. He came back a few minutes later armed with Chinese food.
"I got it just how you like it." he told her setting the bag down on the counter.
"Yay." she said going to sit at the stools at the counter and digging the food out of the bags. They divided the food amongst themselves and ate in partial silence.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" he asked when they were finished eating. He grabbed the garbage and threw it in the trash can before wrapping his arms around her.
"Hmmm, I think I want to make love to you in my brand new bed. Christen the place." she said smiling up at him.
"I can probably do that." he said before leaning in to kiss her. They kissed languidly until the heard the door buzzer go off.
"Damn it. Already?" she demanded when she heard the door.
"You should get that." he said pulling away from her reluctantly.
"Fine." she groaned as she went to press the button.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Caroline and Bonnie. Let us up. We want to see the place." she demanded.
"Fine." Elena said buzzing them into the building.
"There goes that plan." Damon said sinking into the couch.
"How did they even figure out where I lived?" she wondered. She had intended on telling them where the apartment was on Monday, she wanted the weekend to get settled in and enjoy it with Damon. Just her and Damon... alone. They knocked on the door and she opened it with a fake smile on her face.
"Come on in." she said stepping aside for them.
"This is amazing." Bonnie said looking around the fully furnished apartment.
"I brought a bottle of wine to celebrate with." Caroline said handing over the wine.
"Great." Elena said smiling.
"You didn't have plans did you Elena?" Bonnie asked concerned.
"Of course not. I was just planning on spending the evening with Damon." she said going to sit next to him on the couch.
"Well the sex can wait. For now drinks with us." Caroline said searching the cupboards until she came across some wine glasses.
"I think I lied before. I'm not too fond of Caroline." Damon whispered.
"At the moment, neither am I." she said smiling at him.
"Here we go." Caroline said handing them each a glass of wine. Elena smiled and cuddled herself even closer to Damon who kissed her temple tenderly.
"You guys are so cute." Caroline said as she watched them.
"I was going to tell you where I lived on Monday. I kinda just wanted this weekend to move in." Elena said softly.
"You look moved in to me." Bonnie said.
"She wanted this weekend to enjoy being 18 and free, and to have an endless amount of sex with Damon." Caroline corrected with a smile on her face.
"That sounds more like it." Bonnie agreed.
"It's true. I wanted to christen the apartment with him." Elena admitted with a smile on her face knowing she was forgiven for it.
"And you can do that, just enjoy a glass or two of wine with us, then we'll leave. And we'll leave you alone to enjoy the rest of the weekend in a fully sexed up haze. Maybe you'll even try 69 again." Caroline said having the pleasure of watching Elena's face go red.
"I wont be trying that again for a while." Elena said.
"Oh come on. One little mistake is nothing. I'm sure Damon wants to try it again." Caroline said pulling Damon into the conversation.
"I'm open to experimentation." he said.
"See." Caroline said grinning.
"What happened?" Bonnie asked curiously, not having been around for much of the conversation at school the other day.
"Fine. Just don't tell anyone. We were experimenting and we decided to try 69 and I bit him. End of story." Elena said quickly.
"Oooh that's awful." Bonnie noted wincing.
"It wasn't that bad. I got over it quite quickly. Elena made it sound worse than it actually was." Damon told them.
"It was traumatizing. For me at least. You freaked out at first." Elena said not wanting to fight about this now.
"And I got over it. I told you already it was more the shock than anything else. Change of subject." he said.
"I love the picture frames. Where did you get them?" Caroline said accepting their need for a change in subject.
"My mom gave them to me. I know, shocking right. She wants me to be happy and she doesn't want to lose me." Elena said smiling slightly at the frames.
"That's good. Maybe your dad will eventually get over it too." Caroline said hopefully.
"I hope so too. I want them in my life. I don't want to live parent-less like Jer." Elena said.
"Even Jeremy isn't parent-less. They're still around." Caroline told her.
"I know that. But he emancipated himself from them. He lives alone. Well with friends. I can't blame him for that, and I admire him for it too. I just don't think I would have been strong enough to do it." she admitted.
"You could have." Damon said squeezing her shoulder.
"I agree with him. You're strong Elena." Caroline said. Bonnie nodded her agreement.
"You are. But maybe we should head out. If we stay any longer we'll continue drinking and then we wont be leaving at all." she said grabbing her car keys.
"I'll see you Monday." Elena said walking her friends to the door.
"We better. No skipping school now." Bonnie said hugging her. Caroline hugged her too before leaving the apartment. When they were gone Elena turned to find Damon standing behind her.
"Now that they're gone, can we please christen your bedroom?" he asked hopefully.
"I suppose so." she said reaching up to kiss him. He backed her to her bedroom and shut the door although they both knew they were the only ones there. Slowly, he removed her clothes and laid her down on the bed. Damon removed his clothes and hovered over her kissing his way down her body. He kissed down her wrist and kissed his initials on the inside before moving back up her arm and down her chest. He spent a little time sucking and licking her nipples before moving down her body and slipping his tongue inside her belly button and pulling on the charm dangling from it. She locked her legs around him not wanting him to move away from her body. He was clearly intent on worshipping every inch of her body. He kissed further down and spent a little bit of time on her pussy before moving back up. He spent some time on her neck before connecting their lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer to him. Tongues met playfully neither winning the battle for domination, they gave and took equally.
"I love you." he said before he allowed his length to slip inside her. She tightened her legs around his waist as he allowed himself to completely enter her. When he was fully seated inside her, she thrust upwards indicating that she wanted him to start moving. He started moving in controlled movements, not wanting to fuck her tonight. He wanted to make love to her in her bed, in her apartment. He wanted this to be the start of their new more adult relationship. More maturity, more time together and more intimacy. He looked forward to waking up with her almost every morning whether there or at his house. Never before in his entire existence, he had never wanted this level of intimacy. It was entirely new to him and he loved it. He made love to her slowly and tenderly, needing to show her with his actions how much he loved her. They kissed tenderly, while their lower bodies never missed a beat. She traced her hands down his defined back before trailing them back up and down his chest. They had never made love like this before, this was tender and it was simply love. He felt his release creeping up and he desperately wanted her to cum with him. He reached between their bodies and rubbed her clit slowly wanting her to cum at the same time as him. A few seconds later he got his wish and she climaxed with him following a second later. They kissed as they came down before he rolled over and pulled out of her. She kept him close and held him as she dozed off. He kissed the top of her head and dozed off beside her, unable to wait until tomorrow when they christen the rest of the rooms of the house.
