It's A Boy Girl Thing
Ch 19. True Love Prevails
"…Believe me, you don't really know me at all…Believe me, this is the last time that I'll call…Believe me, this is the end of the affair…I'm sorry, but I just can't take it there…"
Elena slips in between kids dancing as she makes her way to the front of the stage that she herself was playing on moments before. She hasn't taken her eyes off Damon once, and she doesn't intend to now, especially not with all the single girls at Mystic Falls High crowding the stage for the bands' attention. She doesn't realize one of those girls is Caroline until her arm is grabbed and she's yanked forward by her blonde friend and placed beside her at the front-center of the stage. She has a perfect view of Damon from here, and Caroline has a perfect view of Klaus, who is singing his heart out into the microphone at the moment, the words to 'End of the Affair' so familiar to Elena from all the practice that she starts to sing along.
"I've been here once before and I know that love, to you, is just a game. Why don't you go back, back where you didn't know my name? I'm trying to show that, this time it's not the same. So believe me, you don't really know me at all…And, believe me, this is the last time that I'll call…Yeah, believe me, this is the end of the affair…Not really sorry, that I will not take it there…"
Elena's smile widens when she hears Damon's guitar solo, which isn't something she could have pulled off if she were still up on stage in his place. She feels so much joy that the night has turned out better than she expected, that she and Damon got switched back, that Damon gets to have his moment in the spotlight with The Orginals, and she thinks she might explode from happiness. Could this night get any better? She doesn't believe it could.
As the song ends, Caroline cheers loudly for Klaus, and then turns to Elena and finally says, "Hey, I didn't think you were gonna make it! They were great, right?" She nudges Elena's shoulder with her own, teasing, "So good, in fact, that I don't think your band really needs you anymore..."
Elena's face scrunches up in confusion before she makes the connection that Caroline thinks she's still Damon. Well, it's not like she'd know about the switch since it just happened! Elena then smiles again as she hugs her blonde bestie and informs her, "It's me! I'm back! I'm me again!"
Caroline grips Elena's shoulders tightly and draws back slightly to get a good look at her. Then, her blue eyes widen as she asks, "Really? Elena?" Elena nods and then is squeezed in a bone-crushing hug by Caroline, "Oh my God! Yay! You're back! When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Elena!"
She turns at the sound of her name being called and feels two more arms being wrapped around her from behind. Bonnie rests her chin on Elena's shoulder, her cheek against hers, and announces quite happily, "I saw it happen from across the room! It was the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I literally watched your soul leave Damon's body, and Damon's leave yours, and they swirled together before splitting off, and I just knew that the curse was broken." She releases her grip on Elena and states, "It's good to have you back."
"Thanks, Bon," Elena replies, "It's good to be back."
Caroline looks from Elena to Bonnie and back again before answering her previous question, "Oh…this just happened. Wow. Weird." After a moment of pondering the strangeness of the whole situation, she sees that Klaus, Damon and Ric are exiting stage left and being swarmed by their fellow female classmates. She points a finger in their direction and asks Elena, "Are we going to stand here and let these ho-bags steal our men, or are we going to go over there and show them who they're messing with?"
Elena giggles over Caroline's territorial behavior, but it is typical of Caroline to be jealous over nothing at all when she really, really likes a guy. Apparently, Caroline really, really likes Klaus, and she's not okay with him getting so much attention from someone who's not her. She is still feeling slightly insecure over the whole Tyler-situation too, so that isn't making matters any easier. Caroline thought Klaus liked her though, so why was he letting those sluts fawn all over him?
"You're right," Elena concurs, linking her arm through Caroline's, "We should go over there and set those girls straight." She is only kidding, but Caroline nods and they set off in the guys' direction. Bonnie waves to them and returns to her date, Luka, who was sweet enough to get her some punch.
Upon entering the circle of The Originals new wanna-be groupies, Elena observes Damon's backside as he walks out the rear-entrance of the gym, his arm around a blonde that Elena did not expect to see here tonight, or ever again, if she's being honest. Katherine's here? She feels her smile slide off her face and her shoulders droop at the thought of Katherine getting what she wanted after all. Damon didn't look like he was leading Katherine away to hook-up with her, but he did leave with her, and Elena isn't sure what to think. Was it stupid of her to think he'd be as happy as she was to be back in her own skin? Was it even stupider of her to think he'd be waiting at the bottom of the stage for her so she could finally kiss him with her own lips?
From her spot on Ric's lap, Rebekah smirks before saying in a snooty tone, "I should have warned you that Damon likes blondes better, but I thought it was kind of obvious. You never had a chance, Elena."
Ric rolls his eyes over the top of her head and places his hand over her mouth. "Damn, you're cute Bex, but you are evil." To Elena, he assures her, "They're only talking."
Klaus, who is slightly red from the kiss he just received from Caroline, clears his throat and adds to Ric's claim, "Yeah, don't worry, Elena. Damon will be right back. He wanted to get rid of Katherine before you saw her…"
"Which only proves that you have something worry about," Rebekah pipes up in a sing-song voice.
Klaus glares at Ric, who shrugs unapologetically and asks, "What do you want me to do, hold my hand over her mouth all night?"
"Maybe," Klaus replies, lowering his gaze to Rebekah and warning her, "There's duct tape in the van…"
"You wouldn't dare," Rebekah challenges him, "I'll tell Mum."
Klaus crosses his arms and counters, "Yeah? What if I tell her who you had over when she and Dad were away?"
Rebekah's eyes widen and she starts to shake her head back and forth rapidly, protesting, "No, no, no; don't do that! I'll shut up, I promise."
"That's what I thought," Klaus smirks, returning his arm to Caroline's waist so he can pull her closer to his side. She smiles at the display of affection, leaning her head on his shoulder. What was she so worried about before? Klaus wasn't interested in any of those girls; the only girl Klaus has eyes for is her. Caroline turns her head and plants another kiss, this one on Klaus' cheek.
The DJ starts to play music for the remainder of the dance, and Ric drags Rebekah away to dance with him, leaving Elena to wait for Damon with Caroline, Klaus, and the few girls who still think they have a chance with one of The Originals. Elena waits patiently for about ten minutes, before she starts to get frustrated. What is taking him so long? She wonders, What is so hard about telling Katherine, 'Look, I don't like you. You're a manipulative, two-timing, evil bitch and that is all you'll ever be to me. Now, please leave so I can go kiss Elena. Bye'? It isn't that hard! And it certainly doesn't take twenty minutes...And that's where Elena starts to think maybe Ric and Klaus are wrong, and Rebekah was right the whole time. Maybe Damon only told his friends he was getting rid of Katherine, when he actually had plans to do something else entirely. Maybe he was screwing Katherine in her car right now, and then he was going to come back and tell Elena he changed his mind…
"I'm going to go see what's taking Damon so long," Elena announces to Caroline and Klaus, already breezing past them to the rear-exit that Damon took Katherine out of nearly twenty minutes before. She can't sit tight any longer. She's waited long enough - eighteen days, to be exact - to be back inside her own body so that Damon could figure out how he feels about her, and now that they're back she's run out of patience. She doesn't want to wait any longer, she wants to know right now how Damon feels about her, because she already knows how she feels about him.
Outside the school, Stefan is waiting for Elena to follow after Damon and Katherine, just as he and the devious blonde planned earlier. He thought she'd be out here by now, but apparently Elena isn't as crazy jealous as Kat thought she'd be. Stefan stuffs his hands into the pockets of his black jacket and leans his back against the brick wall of the school building. He is beginning to wonder why he agreed to this stupid plan of Katherine's in the first place; it's not going to work. Sure, it might work for her, and maybe she'll get Damon into bed, but Damon won't settle for Katherine after having a taste of Elena. And Elena? Elena isn't going to come crawling back to Stefan simply because Damon fell for Katherine's tricks, and Stefan knows that, so why is he setting himself up for failure?
Because I love her, Stefan thinks to himself as he grits his teeth, I love her and I'm not giving her up without a fight.
Finally, the back door to the gym swings open and beautiful Elena steps outside, pulling her business jacket closer to her body to keep warm. Stefan straightens up right away when he sees her sweep her eyes in his direction, but they don't light up like they used to. It isn't Stefan she is looking for; it's Damon. Slightly disappointed, Stefan puts on a smile and waves politely at his ex-girlfriend.
"Hey, Stefan," Elena greets with a rigid smile. She doesn't see Damon and Katherine, and the fact that they're nowhere in sight does nothing to ease the anxious feeling in her gut. It isn't something she wants to do, but Elena decides she has to ask Stefan. "Did you see Damon come out this way a few minutes ago?"
Stefan bristles with jealousy when he hears the concern Elena has for Damon. He shrugs his shoulder nonchalantly while replying, "Uh, no. I don't think I did."
Elena frowns, not really buying his answer. She doesn't have time to argue with Stefan though; actually, she does have the time but she just doesn't feel like it. Right now, she's supposed to be having an amazing reunion with Damon, not scouting the school dance for any trace of him since he all but vanished. She's definitely not going to substitute her kiss with Damon for an argument with Stefan.
"Actually," Stefan recalls, acting as though he only just remembered, "I did see Damon. He was with Katherine."
"Yeah, I know," Elena says impatiently. "Did you see which way they went?"
Stefan shakes his head. Elena sighs at his frustrating inability to be more helpful, before turning on her heel and stalking away from him. If Stefan doesn't want to help her, she'll find them herself. She's not going to stand around waiting for Damon to show up when she knows how much Katherine still wants him. Once she's at the edge of the school and deciding whether to go left towards the football field or right towards the parking lot, Stefan joins her.
"I think they were headed this way," Stefan finally answers, his thumb pointing in the direction of the football field, "I'll help you look."
"Okay," Elena smiles gratefully, "Thanks."
As they walk in silence, Elena notices Stefan looking at her periodically out of the corner of her eyes. She tries to ignore it, but it becomes too much to ignore. She stops in her tracks and gives Stefan a pointed glare before guessing, "You brought Katherine here tonight, didn't you?" Once she sees the shocked expression on Stefan's face, she continues, "Oh my God, you did. You brought her thinking it would make me jealous, but instead she ditched you for Damon, and now you're pretending to help me find him so that you look like the good guy."
Stefan falters for a moment, not thinking Elena would call him out, but he quickly recovers. "I did bring Katherine," He admits, "But not for the reasons you're thinking. I don't care about making you jealous, Elena. You chose Damon; I'm not going to try and change your mind."
"So then…" Elena queries slowly, "Why would you let her leave with Damon? I mean, you know how she feels about him –"
"Did you ever think, for even one second, about me or my feelings when you decided to go behind my back and hook up with my brother?" Stefan cuts in, unable to keep quiet any longer. How can she be so completely selfish and yet oblivious at the same time just how selfish she's being? "Did you, Elena? Because I don't think you did, not even when I told you that I love you. You don't care. You think that you and Damon have something special? You think he's going to change for you? That he's going to be a better man for you? He's not. He won't change. He'll never be different. He and Katherine are exactly the same, and they deserve each other." Stefan sucks in a deep breath after his confession and lets it out slowly, watching Elena's face for a reaction. She has one all right, but it's not what he was expecting.
"That's not true," Elena denies, knowing deep down that she is right and Stefan is completely wrong about his step-brother, "Damon is so much better than Katherine, and honestly Stefan, I'm starting to think he's a much better person than you are too. All this time I thought that Damon was this emotionless asshole who didn't give a shit about anyone other than himself, that he was this dumb loser who wasn't worth my time but it was me that was the asshole. I judged him without even knowing him, and part of that judgment came from you. You made me think those things about him, Stefan. I understand now why you and Damon have such a complicated relationship, but the way that you portray him isn't fair. He's not the bad guy, Stefan. You've made mistakes too. You've been cruel and uncaring. Instead of apologizing for what happened in the past, you two created a war. Your parents are miserable, you're miserable, and for what? Katherine? Neither of you are with her and neither of you want her. You know what? You're both better than her, but for some reason neither of you can let it go!"
Stefan listens, dumbstruck, to Elena's words and he wonders if maybe she's right. Have he and Damon been caught up on Katherine all this time when she wasn't even worth their time? Have they created a war amongst themselves over something that, in the end, means nothing? Damon clearly got over Katherine, or he wouldn't have chosen Elena, but where does that leave Stefan? He didn't want Katherine either, not when he had Elena, but he settled for Katherine when she was all he had left. He supposes he never actually wanted Katherine either. That leaves them with Elena though, and there's no solution to that equation. Two boys, both in love with one girl, and only she can decide who she loves back.
"Elena…" Stefan says slowly, feeling like it is his last chance to prove himself, "Wait." Elena stops and turns towards him, her face clearly showing off her confusion. Stefan sighs, bringing his hand up to gently move her silky soft hair behind her shoulder, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for the way I've been acting. I don't know how this happened. It just doesn't make any sense. You were mine. I loved you. I do love you…" He makes a hasty decision, one that was not part of the plan, but he decides he's going to do it anyway. He moves his hand to her cheek and leans in, eyes maintaining contact with her wide brown orbs, and right before his lips meet hers he feels her breathe in sharply.
"Stefan-"
"Elena!"
Right as Stefan's lips brush against hers, Elena hears Damon calling for her, and she turns her head in his direction. Despite the fact that he's still hovering inches in front of her face, Elena forgets all about Stefan. She feels a smile break out on her face, and she sees that Damon is smiling to. She steps towards him, her mouth moving to form his name.
"Damon…"
She feels a hand on her shoulder attempting to hold her in place, but she shrugs it off and moves away from Stefan. She is floating in Damon's direction, her body moving of its own free will. Damon meets her in the middle, practically dead center of the football field, and he wraps his arms around her tight and spins her in a circle, her feet lifting off the ground momentarily. Elena giggles as she is replaced to her feet and she leans into Damon's warmth. She stares up at him, eyes bright and full of love. Damon stares back unflinchingly, his own face showering her with affection.
"You're you," Elena points out happily, her hands squeezing his sides as proof.
Damon smirks, "You're beautiful."
Elena feels her cheeks heat up with a light blush as she explains, "I went to find you, right after the song ended…"
"I know, I wanted to wait for you," Damon replies, feeling a pang of guilt for leaving Elena so that he could deal with Katherine. "I had to –"
"I know," Elena fills in for him, "You were trying to get rid of Katherine. Klaus told me. You didn't have to though. You could have…"
"I should have waited for you," Damon finishes her sentence for her. "I didn't want you to think I was having second-thoughts. About Katherine. I'm not. And I didn't want her to be there when I got you back. I wanted it to be perfect. I guess it's not anymore."
"Damon," Elena says seriously, her hands pulling him closer to her, "I don't care who's watching or what they say. Nothing could ruin this. I've been waiting for what feels like a very long time to be back inside my own skin…so that I could do this." She leans up on her tip-toes and joins their lips together, feeling sparks ignite between them and send a shock through her entire body that leaves her tingling all the way down to her toes. This is the kiss she's been waiting for, and it is even better than the fantasy.
Stefan and Katherine watch as the object of their affections kiss passionately, both seeing red. This wasn't supposed to happen, they think. It should have been Katherine with Damon and Stefan with Elena. This whole thing is wrong! Katherine is fuming as she watches Damon link his and Elena's fingers together and walk off towards the school. Stefan is saddened that he is practically invisible in the eyes of Elena now that Damon has appeared. It isn't fair!
"What did you do?!" Katherine demands of Stefan, her blue eyes glaring daggers in his direction.
"I didn't do anything," Stefan insists, "I did exactly what you told me to do. It didn't work."
"Well then you must have messed up," Katherine hisses hatefully.
"Me?" Stefan scoffs, "What about you? I don't see Damon hanging off your arm right now. I thought you were going to seduce him? Elena was supposed to find you two making out."
"You didn't give me enough time!" Katherine shrieks, "I had him exactly where I wanted him! He was this close to caving, but then he heard her stupid voice!"
"You had plenty of time," Stefan argues, "It just wasn't going to work. Admit it; you were wrong, Katherine. Damon doesn't care about you, and Elena doesn't care about me."
"No, I'm not wrong," Katherine clenches her hands together into fists and pushes against Stefan as she declares, "I'm never wrong!"
Stefan grabs Katherine's hands and holds them still so she can't beat him with her tiny fists. It doesn't hurt, but he's not going to let a girl beat him up. "Stop it, Katherine. You're acting like a spoiled little brat. Give it a rest."
"I am not. I will not. I am not leaving until you fix this! Damon is mine! He's mine!"
Katherine really does sound like an awful spoiled brat. Even Ayana, who has been watching the reunion of her two favorite lovebirds from the spirit realm, has to agree something should be done about that girl's attitude. Who does she think she is? The queen bee? Well, that is just unacceptable. And the younger Salvatore brother? He's got quite a bit of growing up to do, as well. He seems to think he's better than most and that all others are undeserving. Surely Ayana has a spell up her sleeve that would make these two learn their lesson…
"What do you mean you're not coming to the after-party?" Caroline asks her brunette friend, a pout on her pretty face. "You have to come!"
Elena squeezes Caroline's shoulder reassuringly, "I know, I'm sorry. I know I said we'd go, but…" She shrugs, looking over her shoulder to ensure no one is listening besides Caroline and Bonnie, "Damon and I only got our bodies back an hour ago, and we kind of want to spend some time together. You know, just him and me?"
Bonnie smiles knowingly, still recalling the awkward incident in which her Grams accidentally put a love spell on Damon and Elena resulting in Bonnie walking in on them very naked and about to do something they may have regretted. She now knows that Damon and Elena probably wouldn't have regretted any sexual acts that occurred between them, but she doesn't regret her decision to get them over to her Grams and have the love spell taken off. If she hadn't, they would have been in that state permanently, and probably would still be in Elena's room right now, bumping uglies until they were raw and…okay, that's enough of that. Bonnie shakes her head and rids herself of those disturbing thoughts.
"We get it," Bonnie replies to Elena, "And you two deserve some time together now that you're back to yourselves. Go have fun."
Caroline catches on, finally, and covers her mouth to stifle her laughter. "Oh, okay, now I get it. You two are gonna do the deed. Gonna go get nasty. Get your groove on. Have sexy-time –"
Elena and Bonnie both reach out to cover Caroline's naughty mouth up at the same time, Elena's hand muffling her first, and Bonnie's covering Elena's just for good measure. Caroline licks Elena's hand and she makes a disgusted face before wiping her saliva-covered palm down the front of Caroline's dress. Caroline mock-gasps before the three of them start to giggle. They each exchange hugs before Elena waves goodbye and returns to Damon's side once more.
"Are you ready to go?" She asks once she's snaked her way under his arm.
"I am," Damon nods, also saying his final goodbyes to Klaus, Ric, and the other guys. He turns, his arm around Elena's shoulder guiding her with him, and they start towards the main doors of the gym. "So…where to?" Damon wonders, "Your place or mine?"
Elena thinks about it as they meander to Damon's car, and finally concludes, "Yours."
"Yeah, your mom is way too smart to allow teen sex to happen in her house," Damon points out.
"Well, that…" Elena says teasingly, "And I think I've gotten a little too used to spending time in your bed. It's so comfy. I don't know how I'm going to sleep in my own from now on."
As Damon opens the passenger side door for her to hop in, he places a kiss to her forehead and comments, "If I have any say in the matter, you won't be sleeping anywhere but with me."
Elena steals his signature smirk, "So long as there won't be any other girls climbing in through the window, I think I'm all right with that."
"I think you dealt with all of those," Damon laughs.
"I hope so," Elena returns in a joking manner.
Damon starts up the engine and pulls out of the parking lot. He knows there isn't anything to rush about, but he's really anxious to get his Elena home to bed. He wants to throw her in his bed and never let her leave, and if her words are any indication she seems to be okay with that. He manages to shave two minutes off the normal ten-minute drive from the school to his house, and then he and Elena race inside and up to his room, much to the confusion of Giuseppe and Isobel who are watching a movie in the living room downstairs. Damon disappears into the bathroom for only a minute, and when he comes out he is surprised to find Elena has stripped out of her dressy interview outfit and laid herself across his bed in only her red lingerie set.
With one eyebrow raised, she states coyly, "This isn't the bra and panty set I left out for you to wear with my interview outfit."
Damon opens his mouth to reply, but it feels like his tongue swelled up too big to form coherent words. How can she be so goddamn sexy? Damon wonders as his eyes travel up and down her curvy, tanned form. How could he have ever thought of her as the shy, quiet, know-it-all, virgin from next door? She is more like a drop-dead sexy bombshell. I am unworthy.
Finally, Damon is able to choke out, "I liked this better."
"Me too," Elena concurs, "I'm actually very glad you substituted the boring beige for sexy red because otherwise I might have decided to go home to change…"
Damon launches himself at the bed and attacks her lips with his own, telling her in between wet kisses, "You're. Not. Going. Anywhere." Elena giggles and stretches up her neck so that he can trail hot kisses down it, just the way she likes it. "So. Sexy. Elena."
"Mmm…" Elena moans as Damon sucks on the most sensitive part of her neck.
Suddenly, Damon pulls back. He is remembering Elena on the football field with Stefan now, and even though he doesn't really feel threatened, he wants to know… "Did Stefan kiss you earlier?"
"He tried," Elena admits, knowing Damon should hear the truth, "He told me he loves me, but I don't feel the same way about him. And truthfully, I don't think he really loves me. He thinks he does, but he's wrong."
"So if I hadn't come along right then, you wouldn't have kissed him back?" Damon wonders, feeling a tad bit vulnerable.
"Not a chance in Hell," Elena confirms. She presses her lips against his fiercely, proving with her tongue that her words are true. She comes up for air a minute later, and also questions Damon, "What did Katherine say to you?"
"Lies." Damon states, "Nothing I haven't heard before. Just a bunch of desperate lies from a sad, manipulative little girl."
Elena mulls over his words, her mind filling in the blanks that he drew for her. She could press him for details, but he doesn't seem conflicted over his decision and she really isn't all that insecure that Katherine is going to come back and steal Damon from underneath her. She's pretty confident that Damon knows her love for him is real, just as she is pretty sure his love for her is real.
"You know," Elena comments absently, "I really think Stefan and Katherine would make a good match. I don't mean that in a bad way, either. I think, after a bit of growing up…they might just be perfect for each other."
"Pfft," Damon blows a raspberry, disbelieving Stefan and Katherine could ever love anyone more than they love themselves, "Yeah right."
Elena rolls her eyes but lets the subject drop, "Whatever." She's not about to play matchmaker for her ex-boyfriend, and her current maybe-boyfriend's crazy ex-girlfriend. If they're meant to be, it'll happen. Elena has learned that the hard way. In a way, she's kind of grateful for Ayana's intervention. If she hadn't 'cursed' them, they would have never realized they were meant to be together.
Elena places her hands on Damon's shoulders and uses them as leverage to pull herself up and flip them over so she is straddling his chest. She stares down into the bluest eyes she's ever seen and all she feels is warmth and love. She leans down and fuses their lips together, her tongue battling with Damon's until she relents and allows him to have the upper-hand. She lets her hands wander from his shoulders down his bare chest and to the waistband of his black slacks. She runs her fingers over his sculpted abs, back up his smooth chest, and buries them into his hair. She tightens her legs around his waist as she feels him harden up beneath her, and she grinds against him, eliciting a groan from deep in his throat. Elena sighs, eyes closed, as Damon drags his teeth down her neck and to the swell of her breasts, where he buries his face. He reaches up to cup her in his hands and slips his fingers beneath the bra so that he can tease her semi-erect nipples. Damon rolls the pert buds between the tips of his thumbs and forefingers, and Elena gasps loudly at the new sensation.
"Oh God, Damon," Elena moans when he unhooks her bra and tosses it to the side so that he can replace his fingers with his tongue, sucking and licking her sensitive nipples. Feeling like she's leaving him out of the pleasure, Elena reaches down with one hand and wraps her hand around his pant-covered manhood. Damon makes an appreciative sound with his mouth, which is busy tasting every inch of her plump breasts, so Elena starts to un-do his pants so she can remove them. It proves difficult with only one hand, so Elena maneuvers her other hand south so that it can assist with sliding Damon's pants and boxers down to his ankles. Damon kicks them to the floor, and Elena is glad he's too distracted by that to notice her gulp at the sight of his enormous package. It's true, she's seen it plenty of times the past two and half weeks, but that was before she realized it was going to be inside her. She hasn't had sex in almost two years…What if it doesn't fit?
When Elena finally accepts that it is going inside her, and it will manage to fit, she makes moves to grab it, but Damon stops her. "Wait," He says stilling her hand with his own and staring at her with serious eyes, "I want you to know something…" Elena blinks nervously as she nods her head. "I know we went from hating each other to-to…this in a very short time, but you changed me, Elena. I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean it in the best way possible. I thought I was happy before, but I was a miserable fucking mess. I had no real future, but now I can see one, with you in it, even if everything else isn't figured out. I guess what I'm trying to say is…I love you, Elena. I didn't want to tell you after and have you think I was just –"
Elena cuts off his panicky rambling with a kiss. She smiles happily, tears in her eyes for some sappy reason, and she replies, "I know exactly what you mean. I thought I had my whole future figured out, but I honestly don't care about that anymore. I'd be happy anywhere, doing anything, as long as you were with me. I love you too. I never thought I'd say that…to anyone…not after Matt but I know you're nothing like him. You'd never hurt me. I don't even have to worry, because I just know."
"I would never hurt you," Damon confirms, even though Elena wasn't asking for his confirmation. Damon presses his lips to her forehead, and then her nose, and then finally her lips. Elena kisses him back passionately, desperately almost, and Damon returns with fervor. Without removing his mouth from hers, Damon peels off her red lace panties and sends them flying across the room. Hopefully, Damon thinks to himself, those just got lost, and then she won't have to wear any panties at all…
"Those were my favorite panties," Elena says in a warning tone when she realizes her underwear have disappeared from sight, "So I hope you know you're finding those later."
Damon chuckles, "All right. I'll go on a panty hunt. Later."
Elena opens her mouth to retort, but all that comes out is a long moan because Damon had dipped a finger into her warm, wet center before swirling it around her clit in a teasing manner. Damon takes her moan as general encouragement, so he pinches her clitoris between his two fingers and then moves them down to her entrance, where he slides one finger in slowly followed by the other. Elena is so hot and tight to the touch that she may as well be a virgin. Damon kisses Elena open-mouthed as he pumps his fingers inside her. He wants her to be wet and ready for him so the sex is as pleasurable for her as it will certainly be for him.
"Oh…ah…" Elena pants.
Damon watches her moan with her mouth open and eyes closed and he thinks that she's never looked so sexy. He drops his gaze to her long, slender neck and even further down to her full, perky breasts. He sticks his tongue out and flicks it over her nipple before sucking it into his mouth and pulling another moan from Elena's lips. He uses his unoccupied hand to lower Elena's body to his mattress so that she is flat on her back. He positions her legs so that they are spread apart, and he places himself between them. Elena's big brown eyes open and look at him in confusion as he pulls his fingers out of her.
She frowns slightly when she sees him lowering his head to her center, and she stiffens and tries to sit up. "What are you…?" Damon hesitates and she blushes deeply as she admits, "I've never…"
"What?" Damon asks incredulously, "You've never gotten head?" Elena shakes her head. Damon frowns to match Elena's. "What?" He repeats. "Why?"
"I don't know," Elena says awkwardly, "I did it to Matt, but he…he thought it was gross so he wouldn't do it…"
"You should have told him no head for him unless he gave some to you," Damon suggests. "You really missed out. Oral is, like, better than sex sometimes."
Elena rolls her eyes, "Yeah, right. I don't know if I'd even like it…"
Damon shoots her a look that says 'you don't know what you're talking about' before pushing her back down on the mattress and spreading her legs apart with his hands. "Trust me," He warns her, "You're gonna love it." Then, before she can protest again, he lowers his mouth to her womanly folds and starts to lick.
Elena feels silly, at first, laying back with her legs apart and Damon's head in between them. She trusts him though, so she tries to relax as his fingers pull her folds apart and his tongue swirls around her clit before alternately sucking and nibbling on it. She realizes pretty quickly that it is hard to lie still, and boy does it feel good. Her body jerks of its own accord nearly every time Damon's tongue runs over her sensitive, swollen clit. When he inserts two fingers inside her and moves them simultaneously with his tongue over her clit, Elena feels her hips move with him, her body trying its hardest to reach its climax. Before she can come, Damon pulls his fingers out and stops his tongue's movement over her clitoris. She again opens her eyes to see what disturbance has occurred, but she finds Damon peeling open a condom wrapper and sliding it onto his manhood.
This is it, Elena thinks, holding her breath in anticipation, We're finally going to do it.
Damon positions himself at her entrance, the tip of his penis twitching from the heat coming off her warm center. He wants to be inside of her so bad, but he wants to do it right. Damon helps adjust Elena's body so that she is in a more comfortable position, and he kisses her lips reassuringly. She smiles a small, sweet smile at him and looks as innocent as an angel. Damon grips her hips steadily as he slowly moves forward, his dick prodding at the folds of her entrance before sliding in nice and easy thanks to Elena's natural lubricant. He slides himself in all the way and waits a moment for Elena's body to adjust to the feel of him inside her. When she wraps her legs around his waist and bucks against him, he takes the hint and starts to move in and out of her at a slow, even pace.
After a minute, Elena is clawing at his back and panting out, "Faster, Damon. Harder. Please."
He doesn't need to be told twice. Damon cups her plump ass cheeks with both hands and holds her still while he pumps in and out faster and harder than before. He still can't believe how tight and warm she is; the best lay he's ever had, by far. Damon slides his penis out all the way to the tip before slamming back into her, the head of his manhood curling right up in that magic G-spot and sending Elena into ecstasy. Damon soon follows, the tightness of her walls during orgasm squeezing his right out of him. Damon rides out his orgasm inside her before pulling out and discarding of the used condom. He then collapses on the bed beside Elena, who slides right up against him and wraps her arms around his middle, her head resting on his chest.
After catching her breath, Elena murmurs, "So that's what I've been missing out on these past few years…"
"Well, I can't guarantee all the guys are as good as me…" Damon smirks jokingly.
"Shut up," Elena snorts, pinching Damon's closest nipple between two of her fingers.
"Ow," Damon groans, "It was a joke. It was good for me too. Really, Elena, you are amazing."
"So you haven't changed your mind then?" Elena wonders, just to be sure.
"What?" Damon turns his body to face hers, "No. Of course not. Did you?"
"No," Elena shakes her head, giggling at the silliness of the question. She supposes it was a stupid question to ask in the first place. Of course he'd think she was having second thoughts if she asked him if he's having second thoughts. "In fact, I feel even closer to you now. If that's possible, after being inside your body the past few weeks."
Damon nods, knowing exactly how she is feeling. He does feel even closer with her now that they've sealed the deal. Just when he thought there'd be no more surprises, and he's surprised by her again. Who would have thought Elena Gilbert would be such a freak in the sheets? Not only that, but who'd have thought she'd be the one to steal Damon Salvatore's heart?
Elena snuggles closer to Damon's bare chest, finding comfort in the steady rhythm of his heartbeat in her ear. She fits so perfectly in his arms and that makes her smile. It was like they were made for each other, and discovering just how sweetly they go together is more than either of them could have ever dreamed. Ayana really did them a favor, and Elena only wishes there were a way for her to thank the old witch.
"I love you," Elena whispers against Damon's chest.
"I love you," Damon returns, his thoughts also on the ancient witch who both completely fucked with his life and fixed it in one smooth motion.
Ayana smiles from the spirit realm, knowing her time with these two is now finished. They may not know how to repay Ayana for her good deed, but seeing her spell work out as planned is payment enough. Ayana the Trickster is not always up to no good; sometimes she has a purpose for the ones that she curses. It doesn't always work out as perfectly as this, but there's no denying true love. Even that is something Ayana cannot prevent. True love will always prevail. But sometimes, like with Damon and Elena, they need a little push in the right direction. And Ayana may be finished with them, but for another couple she is only getting started…
Please Review! There is only 1 chapter left for IABGT and I would love, love to hear what you guys would like to see happen in the last chapter! :) Was there anything I forgot to mention, or didn't wrap-up that you'd like to hear about? Is there anything Damon & Elena haven't done that you want to see them do before the end? Now is your chance to let me know! :)
I just want to thank you all again for reading. It really means a lot to me. I started this story over a year ago, and I can't believe it's finally coming to an end. It will not be my last D/E story though, so don't worry. I will have another Delena story coming soon :)
