Chapter 20

"Damon" Bonnie groaned as Damon carried her into the house. He didn't think he'd make it pass her the mailbox but he somehow managed to find the strength to at least be a gentleman and take her to a bed.

"I know" Damon replied kissing her again as she wrapped her legs around him. Her grip was so tight he was surprised he could still move; he shouldn't have been surprised she was so strong, her tension had been building up for weeks and now she was going to be able to release it, he thought as he laid Bonnie down on her bed. This was perfect, a quiet room with the love of his life about to make love to her. He caught himself before thinking the jinx words. He crawled ontop of Bonnie, looking at her for no reason, just admiration, finality; this was exactly where he wanted to be and who he wanted to be with.

"What?" Bonnie said shyly as she looked around the slightly dark room and then back at Damon with a little worried expression. Damon smiled lightly, he liked how she was alert, tense more like it, stressed, but it still made him happy she had every bit of her humanity.

"You're beautiful" he croaked; it sounded cheesy, but he didn't care, he meant it. Everything about this night from this moment on he meant. He meant all the stuff he said to Rudy of course, but he definitely meant this. He moved his left hand down Bonnie's waist until he found the bottom of her shirt. Slowly, he let his hand move up her shirt, feeling her stomach, her skin was so soft he let out an unintentional groan as he moved to a more comfortable position. As his hands continued upward he kissed Bonnie's lips and then slowly trailed down her neck. She had become quite quiet and still but when he reached her bra she gave a little jump; nerves or excitement he wondered.

"Relax, it's okay" he said softly as he planted another kiss on her neck. It took another minute before he felt Bonnie's body relax under his touch, though her hands were still clutching the covers. He took that minute to remove his plain white shirt and unbuckle his navy jeans as Bonnie watched him intensely, her eyes glosser with each movement he made. Before he could stop himself he was tearing Bonnie's shirt off.

"It was ready for goodwill anyway" she tensely joked as Damon tried to keep his eyes focused on her face. "It's okay" she whispered as Damon leaned back into her, his hands back to exploring her body as she ever so slowly wrapped her legs around his waist.

What felt like a thousand slow agonizing minutes later—but really maybe ten—they were both naked, staring at each other, daring the other to move first. The air was so thick, both their breathing heavy. Bonnie was already pretty sweaty, her bangs sticking to her forehead and the rest of her hair pretty messed up; but Damon like this way, the Bonnie only he got to see.

"Damon," she begged, Damon's attention standing on edge—literally. He had done everything right; he waited until the right moment, this was something they both wanted. Sure there were no rose petals or fine champagne but they were madly in love. Slowly, carefully Damon let himself go into her; her low moan practically bringing him to finish but he managed to control himself as he moved closer, feeling Bonnie as he slowly moved. She was clutching the sheets even tighter, she was nervous—he didn't blame her, it was her first time—but he wanted to prove he wasn't going to be rough, at least until she wanted him to.

"I love you" he whispered still feeling moments away from exploding, just barely able to control his pace. It didn't help when Bonnie suddenly let go of the sheets and grabbed his arms, digging her nails into his skin. He quickened himself a little as they kissed, his tongue exploring every reachable part of her mouth. When he pulled away there was a little smile on Bonnie's face, she glowed a little, but she was blushing too. "I want to be with you forever" he huffed as Bonnie moaned again, a little louder this time as Damon quickened even more.

"You too" she breathed out in between gasps. "I love you" she groaned, pulling him closer as her fingers dug deeper; at least now she was moving in rhythm with him.

They continued like this as Damon let the time pass. He didn't care how long he spent with her, how long it took, how many times he had to bring himself back from the edge. Everything about being with Bonnie was more intense at this moment, not even because of the sex, but something else felt like it was pulling them together, locking them as one. At that moment he knew if he anything happened to Bonnie he'd fall apart, he'd lose himself. In that moment he swore to himself he would do whatever it took to protect her. Except die. He didn't know if he'd be able to live without having Bonnie once more. At least.

He was brought back to reality at the feeling of Bonnie buckling under him, her body tensing for a second then she let out a series of spasms; her groan, her feel, her everything was Damon's breaking point. He let out a growl as he gave one final push and then collapsed, rolling over to the side as Bonnie lay completely still for a moment, her eyes wide as she stared at the ceiling her chest quacking rising and falling.

"You okay?" he asked breathing heavily as he leaned on his elbow to look at Bonnie who was still looking up. "Bon" he whispered as he caught a tear rolling down from the corner of her eye. "Did I hurt you?" he asked his voice full of concern as Bonnie shook her head and wiped her eyes, turning sideways to look at him.

"That was amazing" she choked out. Damon let out a heavy relieved sigh as his whole body relaxed let out a small laugh. It was good to hear her laugh again, to see her relax a little. It felt even better to know he did this; he made her smile and laugh and feel good. He searched her face, smiling at her as he hoped he could always bring this type of joy to her. "Wow…" she said smiling as she wiped her eyes again and then climbed ontop of him. "I love you Damon; I want you to know that. And I want you to know grams isn't going to do anything to take me from you" she whispered, her hair falling in her face as she kissed his chest. Damon groaned, Bonnie was certainly perfect. As he smiled to himself he watched Bonnie look up, a playful smile on her face. "I need practice being on top…" she whispered. For a second Damon didn't think he heard her correctly; she couldn't have been that relaxed and bubbly. Could she? As if to answer his question she quickly adjusted herself on him he knew he heard correctly.

"Never leave me," Damon begged as he placed his hands on either side of her waist.

"Okay" she whispered as she kissed his neck.

"Promise?" he said feeling a sort of vulnerably he hadn't felt in a while. Here he was exposing himself again, but it was just them, it was okay to tell Bonnie, she needed to see this side of him. Because when he was jerk—and he knew that would happen eventually—she needed a reason to remember he could be almost human.

"I promise Damon," she whispered as she continued kissing him, both of them settling back into the rhythmic motion their bodies made.
