"Where are you taking us?" Elena asked as Damon ushered Elena, Jeremy and Katie out to the Camaro.
"Out. You are going to enjoy your couple nights of freedom before you start work at the paper, and I am going to show Jeremy and Katie a night." he said climbing into the front seat while Katie and Jeremy slid into the backseat through Elena's seat. When they were in Elena fixed her seat and sat down.
"Will you tell me where you're taking us?" she asked fixing her brown gaze on his blue one.
"Don't even try it Miss Gilbert. Your pretty brown eyes are not going to make me tell you anything." he told her. She pouted adorably pushing her lower lip out.
"Don't you have any shame Elena? Pouting, really?" Jeremy asked laughing at his sister.
"I want to know where we're going, and he won't tell me." she whined.
"Well you may as well just sit back and relax until we get there. That's my plan. I know he wont tell us, he's stubborn. Kind of like you." Jeremy said.
"I am stubborn." she said happily.
"That's not necessarily a good thing Lena." Jeremy told her.
"Oh it is, when I'm faced with a stubborn but extremely sexy boyfriend who won't tell me where we're going." she said smiling sweetly. After a few minutes Damon pulled up outside a dance club.
"We're going dancing?" she exclaimed.
"Yep, I am going to take you dancing. It's one of those things we haven't tried yet since we started dating." he said.
"Awesome." she said, even though she knew that legally the only one of them that could get in was Damon.
"Ah Damon, we're all underage here except for you." Jeremy said not wanting to ruin the happy mood that was there.
"Ah it's not a problem. They'll let you in because you're with me." he said.
"Not to be rude or anything, but what makes you so special?" Jeremy asked as him and Katie got out of the car.
"All you need to know is that I am extremely convincing when I have to be." he said.
"I can't wait to see if you can get us in here." Jeremy laughed.
"For your information I have gotten Elena into several bars since we started dating." Damon said dryly.
"Well then, how do you do it?" he asked.
"I never share my methods. Tonight is going to be easier than usual." he said eyeing the blonde standing at the door.
"Are you going to attempt to seduce her?" he asked.
"No. I may flirt a little but its completely harmless." Damon told them.
"No flirting. You can use your usual methods." Elena said annoyed. She felt an extreme possessiveness when it came to Damon. He was hers and no one else could even look at him. She clasped his hand tightly in hers as they went to stand in line.
"Don't worry. I won't flirt." he assured her kissing her temple.
"Good. I only want you flirting with me. No one else." she muttered.
"That's not a problem." he wrapping his arms around her as the line moved slowly forward.
"ID's?" the woman at the door asked.
"Ah come on Cindy. You've never had a problem before?" he said staring at her.
"Damon... no minors." she said.
"Come on Cindy. You know you owe me one." he said.
"Damon, don't make me do something illegal. Please." she begged pleading with him. Elena stared at him questioningly for a minute but he ignored her.
"I remember the very conversation Cindy. You said "I owe you one, Damon." Letting us in here is what you have to do. You know we'll get in one way or another." he said raising his eyebrows at her.
"Fine. Fine go. I don't need you compelling me again." she said letting them in.
"Why exactly does she owe you one?" Elena asked questioningly.
"Long story." he said pushing them into a booth.
"Damon, you two clearly have some sort of history. What did you do for her?" Elena asked.
"It's not important right now." he said getting up to get a drink. "What do you guys want?" he asked.
"We'll have cokes." Jeremy said ordering for himself and Katie. "I'll have whatever you bring me. This conversation isn't over Damon." she said.
"I think it is. I'm not talking about how I know Cindy with her. All I am saying is I helped her out of a pretty intense situation." he said before striding over to the bar.
"All is not well in paradise I see." Jeremy said.
"He's never kept a secret from me before. I don't like it." she said narrowing her eyes.
"Maybe he's keeping the secret for her. Maybe she didn't want anyone else to know." Jeremy suggested.
"That doesn't mean he can't tell me. When am I ever going to see her again, and how will she find out I know. It's harmless telling me." she complained.
"There's obviously a reason he doesn't want to tell you. You should just leave it." Jeremy suggested. Katie nodded solemnly beside him. "Just try to have fun tonight." Jeremy said patting her hand. She nodded not entirely convinced, she knew Damon probably listened in on their entire conversation. He came back with their drinks and handed the two cokes over to Jeremy and Katie before handing Elena a fruity looking concoction.
"I don't want alcohol." she said aware she was being petulant.
"It's not alcohol. Its virgin." he assured her. She sighed and took a sip of the drink. She couldn't deny that the drink was fantastic.
"How's school going Jer?" Elena asked.
"Good. Only two more years until I graduate." he said smiling.
"I'm excited for you. Any ideas for college yet?" she asked.
"Nope. I might go to art school. Haven't decided yet." he said.
"Good idea. You've always loved art." she said.
"Come, lets dance." Damon said pulling her arm as he got out of the bench.
"I don't want to." she said taking another sip of her drink.
"I brought you here to dance. We are dancing. If you're pissed about Cindy, that's your problem. But you aren't ruining this night." he said straight to the point.
"Fine." she said getting up and following him onto the dance floor.
"I can tell already that this is going to be a fun night. They're both so stubborn and I bet a fight could last all night." Jeremy winced.
"I can see your sisters point though. If he is as serious about her as he says he is. He should be honest with her." Katie stated.
"Maybe. But its in the past. It's not really any of Elena's business. It had to do with him and another person. Not Elena." Jeremy said.
"Maybe. But she feels like he's keeping something from her. Which technically he is." Katie said.
"I know what you're saying and I know you understand my point of view. I say we let them deal with it. It shouldn't cause a fight between us too." Jeremy said.
"Yeah. Watching them out there dancing, even mad at each other they have this intense chemistry." she said watching Damon and Elena dance. She watched him spin her out and she smiled unwillingly.
"Chemistry and unbridled sexual tension. It's strange. But my sister found her other half, the one that brought out passion and uncharacteristic behaviour." Jeremy said smiling at them. Damon dipped Elena low and she grinned before plastering the scowl back on her face. Damon rolled his eyes and kept dancing with her.
The rest of the evening went on like that.
"I'm getting tired." Katie said.
"I'm ready to go too." Elena said.
"Fine. Let's go." Damon agreed getting up and grabbing his leather jacket. Everyone got back into the car and drove back to the boarding house.
"Are you seriously still pissed?" Damon demanded after a few minutes of sitting in silence.
"Yes." she answered.
"Is it about Cindy?" he asked.
"Yes." she answered.
"Explain." he urged.
"No." she said petulantly.
"Are you going to give me monosyllable answers for the rest of the night?" he asked. She didn't answer and he pulled up to the Salvatore Boarding house. She got out of the car when it came to a stop and let Jeremy and Katie out before striding into the house. She stormed into the house and into the parlour when she immediately poured herself a glass of the amber coloured liquid.
"What are you doing? That shit is too strong for you." he said taking the glass out of her hand and downing it faster than she could comprehend. Jeremy and Katie walked into the house and sat down on the couch.
"I'm going to bed." she said walking upstairs and disappearing.
"Aren't you going after her?" Jeremy asked.
"I wasn't planning on it. She is being stubborn and immature. This has nothing to do with her." he said sitting down and flipping on the TV.
"Ever think that maybe she is insecure about it now. Maybe she thinks you guys have some sort of history that could take you away from her. She loves you. I can tell, I've never seen that look on her face before. She's scared to death of losing you in some way." Jeremy offered.
"She won't lose me. The thing with Cindy was a long time ago, and its over with." he said.
"Don't tell me that. Tell Lena." Jeremy urged as he took the remote control from Damon and flipped the control.
"Fine." he said getting up and walking to the stairs.
"We'll see you in the morning." Jeremy called to him. He nodded and walked up the stairs deciding he owed Elena an explanation. He walked into the bedroom and surprised to find that she wasn't there. He stood int he doorway for a minute before shaking his head. He walked to the other spare bedroom that wasn't the ones where Jeremy and Katie were staying and opened the door. He seen her laying in the bed and he shook his head.
"Why are you in here?" he asked.
"Because I didn't want to be with you tonight. If you can keep secrets I can sleep away from you. I thought about going home, but I figured I should stay because Jeremy and Katie are here." she said turning away from him.
"Your brother is quite intelligent. He convinced me to talk to you." he said.
"Maybe I don't want to know anymore. You can keep your secrets." she said.
"Fine. Screw it. You can be pissed for as long as you want. If you don't want to meet me halfway, then fine. I'm going to bed." he said walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. Once he was back in his room he quickly changed into a pair of black pyjama pants and shut off the light. He slipped into the bed and laid down on his back. If she wanted to be angry, he could be angry too. It was only about ten minutes later when he heard his bedroom door open and her slip into the darkness. He heard her breathing and heartbeat as she walked closer to the bed as quietly as she could. Elena slipped into the bed careful not to touch him.
"I thought you didn't want to be near me." he muttered trying to sound aloof.
"I didn't. Maybe I'm being unfair too." she said rolling onto her side to see him in the darkness.
"Maybe you are." he said still distant.
"I appreciate you offering to talk to me about it. I really do, but you don't have to. You had your life before I came into it, and it's not my business. My brother was right." she said softly. He didn't respond for a few minutes and Elena could have sworn that he was asleep if it weren't for the tension in his body beside hers.
"I met Cindy three years ago. She was struggling severely. I know what you're wondering, no we didn't sleep together. It never became more than friendly. She had no one but her three year old daughter Sadie. But the problem was that Cindy couldn't afford anything for that little girl because all her money was going to battling her ass of an ex for custody. Cindy knew that Todd would be a terrible father for Sadie and risked absolutely everything to keep her from that. A mother cant afford a custody battle on a bartenders salary. She served me one night at the bar, she had her daughter there with her because she couldn't afford a babysitter. Todd was taking everything from her. I'll admit when I met her I was looking for a late night snack and some sex but when I attempted to seduce her she broke down. I honestly felt a sliver of guilt, but that sliver turned into more the more she talked to me. She introduced me to her daughter and all of a sudden I knew there was no way I could hurt this woman more than she already was so I compelled her to stop worrying and to tell me where the son of a bitch lived. She told me and I dealt with him. Cindy kept Sadie and Todd is not a problem anymore." Damon explained.
"When you say "dealt with him" what does that mean?" Elena asked.
"I didn't kill him, although I wanted to. I had killed for a lot less back then. I compelled him to drop his case and to pay Cindy all the child support back pay he owed for the past few months and all that he would owe her. Cindy and Sadie moved here, and Cindy got a job at the dance club. Benefits and wage is better. They're happy now. Cindy owed me for that." Damon finished.
"So you were never intimate with her?" she asked.
"No. I couldn't be because back then in order for me to be intimate there had to be blood involved. Any time I had sex I took blood too. It was how I worked. I didn't want to take from a woman who had lost so much already. I had a rare moment of morality." he said.
"Thank you for telling me that." she said softly, sliding over on the bed closer to him.
"You deserved to know. I didn't want you being insecure about our relationship. This is the biggest thing in your life that you don't have to be insecure about." he told her kissing her forehead. She smiled and sighed into the intimate gesture.
"I love you." she whispered into his chest.
"I love you too, but what I really want right now is to make love to you." he said running his hand down her t shirt covered back.
"I'm not stopping you." she said. He rolled until she was flat on her back and he was hovering over her. He grinned and kissed her soundly. His tongue invading her mouth. Her nails raked down his back to the waist band of his pyjama pants.
"I need to feel you." she said. He lifted up enough so she could use her hands and feet to push his pants down. When they were around his ankles he kicked them off sending them to the floor.
"I need to feel you too." he said feeling underneath her t shirt for her panties. She lifted her lips a bit and he pushed the scrap of lace down. He removed her oversized t shirt and ogled her now bare body.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever encountered." he said kissing her lips before kissing down her body. He suckled each of her breasts before moving down further. He dipped his tongue into her belly button causing her to shift and giggle under him.
"Are you giggling?" he asked.
"Yes." she said grinning.
"I will give you something to giggle about." he said attacking her sides tickling her viciously.
"Damon. Damon stop." she begged.
"Are you ready to be compliant? No more giggling?" he asked.
"Yes." she said her eyes glinting.
"Good." he said picking up where he left off at her belly button. He continued down and kissed from hip bone to hip bone. His close proximity to where she wanted him most was driving her crazy.
"Keep going." she begged him. Her eyes had taken on a lusty darker colour and she desperately needed him. He smiled at her before tracing his tongue through her neatly groomed pubic hair. She squeezed her eyes shut as he dipped his tongue inside her while he thumbed her clit. She groaned and moaned desperately wishing he would make her cum. He started nudging her clit with his tongue while he fingers started plunging in and out of her. This was torture... exquisite torture.
"Damon... Please." she begged.
"I think you're ready to cum." he said sucking on her clit.
"Please baby." she begged.
"All in good time." he said as he continued playing with her down there. Her hands squeezed and kneaded her breasts trying to send herself over the edge. Taking pity on her extremely turned on state, he gently bit down on her clit and sucked the bud into his mouth sending her over the edge. She quivered under his expert touch as he eagerly drank in her juices. When he had his fill he plunged his swollen cock into her pussy and immediately started moving. His invasion of her body catapulted her into another smaller orgasm.
"Damon." she moaned as she felt him fucking her relentlessly. When she came back he was fucking her hard. She loved it.
"Oh no." she said when she felt herself quicken for a third time.
"Cum." he told her as he kissed her breasts. She did as he told her and exploded again. He pulled out and flipped her onto her stomach before thrusting inside her again. This position was so intimate. Every inch of his body was pressed into hers and he fucked her hard from behind. Her moans and screams her getting louder and louder every second. He knew without a doubt that Jeremy and Katie most likely were hearing this.
"Damon... please." she begged in agony. The orgasms were wringing her out and she wasn't sure she could take anymore.
"Don't worry. I'm almost done." he assured her when he felt his orgasm. He pushed her closer to her fourth orgasm while reaching around and rubbing her clit. When she came again, he followed right behind her filling her with his cum. He groaned out his release and buried his head into her back. When he regained lucidity he pulled out and laid down beside her. Elena was still beside him. He ran a hand down her back and she turned her head weakly.
"Are you okay?" he asked amused.
"Just tired," she said groggily.
"Go to sleep." he said grinning as he pulled her spent body into his arms. She closed her eyes almost immediately. He went to sleep shortly after not looking forward to the morning when they would have to face Katie and Jeremy.
