Damon's P.O.V
Are you married? You're wife is pregnant, and is on hormonal over drive? Well, let me give a fair warning, you're about to loose your mind, every minute of the day.
One minute she is my sweet and caring wife next minute she transforms into scariest woman I've ever seen in my life.
For instance she woke me up around two in morning just so I can get her a burger. I tried to remind her about the restriction in her diet. Clearly I've underestimated her cravings, she threw me out of bed, cursing me for arguing, then threatened to castrate my manhood.
Helpless, I obliged to get the damn burger only to come home to my crying wife who latched herself on my arms and started wailing her eyes out. "Damon." Her lips quiver and her arms wrapped around me. "I, I am so sorry...!"
She started whimpering unable to stop and I stared at her, dumbfounded and hopeless in the situation.
"It's okay baby." I told her reassuringly while kissing her tears away.
"I shouldn't have brought up that diet plan when you were craving for burger. Its my fault, really." She shook her head and to my absolute horror her cries got louder."I am the worst wife ever!" she murmured while rubbing her eyes to wipe tears."You always take care off me and I curse you, threaten you, yet you go out in the middle of night for a stupid burger."
After that a dam of tears broke and I tried to calm her down, the long forgotten burger quietly sat on table as I carried her back to our room.
As time passed her quivering body eased up and she fell into deep sleep while mumbling apology to me.
Seeing her finally in deep sleep I fell sleep myself.
I barely slept as I switched off the alarm before it could go off. Next one to buzz was my phone, it flashed a reminder that I've set a week back, there's a board meeting today with my investors for a new car project. "Danm it!" Cursing under my breath I pulled myself away from Elena's arms.
As usual that woke her up, "Damon where are you going?" she asked in sleepy voice pulling me back in to her.
"Baby I have to go to work , you go back to sleep."
I tried again but she wrapped her arms and legs tightly around me. "No stay." She told me in commanding sort of way but I could detect her hidden desires in it.
Ever since she started her fifth month of pregnancy, her need for me grew ten folds stronger. Now that her baby bump is prominent she constantly needs me to remind her how beautiful she is.
Dr Joe warned me that she will be physically as well as emotionally dependent on me and I was too happy to bother about anything that day.
( Flash back two weeks ago)
"Are you ready to find out about your child's gender?" She asked while Elena lifted her shirt exposing her adorable bump to us. "Yes!" we said in unison.
In a few seconds the screen flashed a hazy image of moving mass, our baby, living breathing inside her womb. I can not explain the emotions overflowing my senses. I waited with baited breath for her verdict.
"Well looks like father's intuition is hundred percent right, it's clear you guys are having a baby girl."
Next minute I was screaming in joy. "Yess! Yess! Yess! I jumped in joy and hugged my wife kissing every inch of her face who was squealing in delight. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so, so much!"
I kissed her belly and whispered to my girl. "You hear that princess? Daddy was right all along." I caressed her stomach. "I can't wait to hold you in my arms baby girl welove you, so much."
I didn't realize when my eyes teared up but Elena noticed. She brought my face closer to her and kissed my tears away. "We love you too daddy." She squeezed my hand on top her belly. Another memory imprinted on my heart to cherish as long as I live.
Needless to say everything said after that moment took a back seat in my mind but at times like these I start remembering the wise Doctor's advices. "Baby please I need to go I will try to come home soon." I tried to reason with her as she hold me tighter in her arms.
She narrowed her eyes at me and then huffed in frustration. "Fine leave me alone! I am going to make some breakfast." She pushed me away and stomped outside of our room.
Sighing I saw Ric's text, after sending a quick reply I got out of bed.
I hurriedly grabbed black shirt and jeans from my closest and laid them on bed before heading for quick shower. I will change later in my suit for meeting when I reach my office.
After taking shower and wrapping a towel around my hip I came out to change only to find my jeans on bed. "What the?"
I clearly remember leaving my clothes here. I hurriedly pulled my jeans up and started searching for my shirt, in around room but couldn't find it anywhere, finally I gave up and decided to get another shirt only to find the closet locked. " You got to be kidding me, Lena!"
I called for her as I went outside. "Lena why is the closet locked? I really..." I trailed off as I saw my wife sitting on our kitchen counter swinging her legs back and fort, dressed in same black shirt that I was searching for all over. Her bare legs were enticing me while there was a mischievous smile on her face. She asked feigning innocence, "Yes Damon what do you want?"
I knew I was getting late but still I found myself asking the question that sure going to hold me up. "What are you doing?" I cocked my eyes at her attire but she kept her facade . "Nothing I was just making us breakfast." She replied in an indifferent tone but I can detect glint in her eyes.
Deciding to play along, I walked towards her and stood between her open legs. "So where is this breakfast?"She smiled and offered me a plate of French toast drizzled with maple syrup.
"Thanks baby." I took the plate from her while running my hand over her thighs.
I held my plate as I ate my breakfast while feeding her small bites every now and then. She made enough for both, finally she handed me my orange juice and watched me while I finished it in one gulp.
I took dishes away to clean them before returning back to my awaiting wife. "So?" I run my hand over my shirt. "Care to elaborate why you are wearing my shirt, you knew I kept it for office?"
She still kept her innocent face as she looked down in surprise. "This shirt? I only wore it because I accidently dropped juice on my night gown."
I narrowed my eyes at her but she still didn't budge . "Okay so where is my closet key?"
She shrugged her shoulders while a smile formed on her lips. shaking my head I leaned in near her ear. "I am getting late so how about you be a good girl and get me a shirt to wear."
I stepped away hoping she will get me a new shirt but to my surprise she slowly hopped down to stand in front of me and in one swift moment she has taken my shirt off leaving her body bare for my hungry eyes.
"There you go." She held out my shirt for seconds before. "Oops!" she dropped it on the floor.
My eyes travelled down to my discarded shirt and then trailed up to her naked body as she slowly walked towards me. "Have a nice day baby." She kissed me on my cheeks and then gave me a wink.
She stepped away and starts walking back to our room while deliberately swaying her hips on every step.
She turned around and waved at me giving me her mischievous smile before disappearing into our room leaving me frozen to my spot.
One second that's all it took to change my route from office to our bedroom. I found her laying on top of our bed twirling keys in her finger. "Get on your hand and knees you cunning vixen."
I growled at her while uunbuckling my belt and hurriedly slipped my jeans off.
By the time I settled behind her on the bed Elena was in perfect position, dripping with excitement just for me. "Please Damon." She pleads as I touched her hips.
"You are such a bad girl, not letting your husband go for work." I told her while running my hands over her body but keeping it away from where she needed most.
She moaned and wriggle her hips under my hand. "Please Damon punish me," she moaned breathlessly when I trailed kisses on her spine "Make me your good girl."
I knew what she is trying to do, she wants me to take her hard and fast that I have been avoiding most of time considering she's very pregnant .
So she tried to provoke me every now and then and well a man can only take so much temptation when your wife makes it her mission to torture in various way until she gets what she wants.
"Baby? " I stilled my hand and warned her in calm voice. "You know how I feel about this."
She groaned in frustration and dropped her head on pillow. "Please, just take me already I don't care about mechanics of soft and hard right now."
Seeing her on verge of snapping I gently entered her from behind making her sighed in relieve. "Yess!"
I started moving my hips in measured thrust neither fast nor slow but enough to satisfy her needs without being too rough on her. "God baby!" my eyes rolled backwards as she matched my pace with her thrust. "I love your devious mind, tortuous way you plan to seduce me."
She looked me over her shoulder and that was really one of her many sexy looks that turns me on more. "Really? and I, Fuck!Uhh! Love how every time you fall for my seduction." She panted while kept pushing her hips into me.
I couldn't contain myself and held her waist while giving her one light spank on her pert bottom making her both clenched around me while screaming my name. "Ah ! Damon!"
She grab hold of head board while screaming at me. "Faster baby! Faster! I am so close."
I looked at her and saw her neck straining as she arched her beautiful back in pleasure. "Hold on baby!" with that I gripped her tight and started moving my hips in speed while my fingers worked on her sweet spot.
Keeping my strokes as gentle as I can while still maintaining the perfect rhythm to satisfy her needs. Our room was filled with our mixed scent and our skin slapping sound as I drove us to our release. "Lena! Cum baby! Cum for me!"
I leaned in so my body was flushed on her back and she turned her face to kiss me while she exploded around me taking me with her.
We both collapse together tangled in sweaty mess while coming down from our high.
After a while I turned her around in my arms planting sweet kisses on her sweet lips. "You missy are so much trouble to take but still worth every second of it." She laughed while running her hands all over my chest. "Will you be in trouble with your boss?" She asked nervously.
I laughed at her expression and shook my head. "Let your man worry about that. I'll deal with everything at work, you just take care of yourself and my princess here."
Her face lit up and she pulled me in for kiss "have a nice day at work baby." I kissed her for few seconds before pulling away and cleaning myself up , getting dressed again, I grabbed my shirt from kitchen and slipped it through my arms, her distinctive aroma now mingled in the fabric.
I went back in my room to say goodbye but found my wife in deep slumber. Kissing her forehead I all but ran outside while thinking about excuses I am about to make up for being late on meeting again.
############
Elena's P.O.V
A ringing sound woke me up again and I found myself naked and alone in our bed. I stared at time and saw the clock striking at twelve.
Groggily I got up and slipped into shirt and shorts and made my way towards front door. "I m coming!" I groaned tiredly and yanked open the door only to find Bonnie on other side.
"Hey Bonnie, come in." I didn't wait for her reply and went to kitchen to drink water.
She followed me inside and put the box on counter.
"Why are you not ready?" she asked while waving her hand at me.
I looked confused for a second and then glanced at box and then I remember. "Shit! Enzo's birthday! I am so sorry Bonnie I totally forgot." I apologized to my friend feeling so guilty. No wonder Damon was in a hurry to leave for office.
"Just give me few minutes and I will be ready." She shooed me away and I ran in my room and grabbed my peach shirt and white skirt from my closet and then quickly took shower and got dressed as fast as I can.
Finally feeling satisfied with my looks I grabbed my purse and went outside to meet Bonnie who was waiting for me in living room. "Lets go Bonnie. I am all dressed up."
Bonnie and I both left my apartment and hopped in her car to drive at D.S.S.
When we reached there I looked at it with same fascination that I saw when I was here last time.
The tall structure was imposing its wealth and strength. This is one of the building that is called money making machine. "WOW! Our guys really work here?" I asked Bonnie and she gave me knowing smile as we reached reception desk.
Bonnie was talking with receptionist while I called Damon but found his cell switched off. "That's weird?" I told myself while trying again but still found his cell switched off.
"What's weird? Bonnie asks me. "Damon's phone is switched off, Which is rare because he always insist to keep our phones on in case of emergencies."
Bonnie smiled and pulled me towards elevator. "Relax, something must have come up." I nodded my head and after few seconds we arrived at car's manufacture department.
We both went inside and saw employees busy with their cars while taking care of the work given to them. "Thank you so much Lena! Bonnie told me while we searched for Enzo. "He is been so busy with this new project and refused to celebrate his birthday. So thanks for coming up with this idea to surprise him at work." I squeeze her shoulder and saw Enzo ahead talking to some workers. "Enzo!" we both screamed his name in unison and he turned around. His baffled face broke into a smile when he saw us.
He reached towards us and hugged Bonnie tightly in his arms. "What are you doing here?" seeing it as my cue I opened the box and held out the pineapple cake in front of him. "Happy Birthday!" we both sang together while all workers were staring at us before joining in and wishing Enzo happy birthday.
He looked shy and hugged us both "Thank you luv." He kissed Bonnie.
She blushed but stared at me. "Well it was Elena' s idea, so I can't take all credit."
I shook my head and told them. "You need idea to surprise your boyfriend and I still remember how you helped me finding perfect gift on my first month anniversary, so in sense I own you one."
They both smiled at me while I looked around before I asked him. "Where is Damon?" Enzo's smile vanished and he smiled at me.
"Umm he got late so Mr Saltzman came in blazing and took D.J away with him. I am sorry but I haven't seen him since then."
Mr Saltzman is angry with my Damon. I didn't realize when my eyes got watery but both Enzo and Bonnie looked at me with alarming eyes. "Elena!" Bonnie hugged me as tears started falling from my face.
I stared at her desperately. "Its all my fault he is coming late for work!"
They both stared at me helplessly while I cried my eyes out.
It took few minutes before my friend was able to calm me down enough. "I am so sorry." I mumbled while looking at them.
Enzo gave me water to drink and I thanked him before gulping the liquid down. "Its okay we understand, with hormones and all." Enzo told me kindly.
I smiled at them but still worrying about my husband. "Guys I need to talk to Mr Saltzman, I need to explain it's not Damon's fault that he is being late for work."
Enzo shook his head as I got up from chair. "Listen Elena I understand but you can't barge in there besides we are not even allowed in upper office unless we are called for."
He tried to explain this to me but I walked towards it anyway and heard them following after me.
We reached same elevators I remember we took last time. The bellhop outside that elevator stopped us from getting inside. "And where are you going? This is upper office elevator do you have appointments?" All three of us stared at each other and then shook our head. "Please I need to see Mr Saltzman." But he refused us and told us unless we have permit from upper office we can't go there.
"What are we going to do?" I ask them and then an idea came in my mind. "Bonnie call Rose, I am going to call Kol." We both made call and Kol cell was switched off too. "Danm it! Why everyone switched there cell off." I groaned in frustration but to my luck I heard Bonnie talking with Rose. "Hey Rose it's Bonnie, umm Elena and I are here and we want to come up but this bellhop says we need appointment." She smiled and handed him her phone. "Here talk to her."
Poor guy talk with Rose and then got all nervous as he apologised to us and let us inside. "Please came inside."
Enzo smirked at him and ushered us inside. "Thanks mate." I felt nervous about Damon and still blaming myself for my silliness. "What if Mr Saltzman fire him?" I asked Enzo who start laughing at my questions. "Don't be absurd, better man tried to sacked D.J before and all were defeated because Mr Saltzman took his side so relax and see for yourself that he can never be fired from this place as long it's standing."
His confidence assured me little but I won't rest until I see it for myself.
We arrived at upper office and Rose was waiting right outside the elevator. "Elena, Bonnie?" she looked at us alarmingly. "What are you Guys doing in here?"
I wanted to tell her but I am not in mood for someone to tell me to relax and not to worry. "Rose can you tell me where is Mr Saltzman?" she appeared inquisitive but before she can say anything bellhop answer for her . "Mr Saltzman is in boardroom."
Rose scowled at him as I made my way towards finding boardroom. "Elena wait! " I heard their voices but I chose to ignore them as I hurriedly walked in long corridor. Finally I saw corner room which has boardroom encrypted on the door. Thank God reception desk was empty outside so I easily went there to peak inside.
I can see they were having a meeting from its glass door I tried to peak inside but couldn't make anything because room lights were off while everyone was intently watching screen. I saw Mr. Saltzman standing near screen talking about something that looks like car designs but I can't make out the words. I could see Kol in the vicinity and his brother as screen lights fell upon them.
Finally Mr Saltzman was directly talking to man who was sitting near him on head of table. His chair was turned towards screen so I couldn't see his face at all only his back and what I think his black hair.
Unsure what to do I tenderly knocked at glass door and almost every head turned towards my direction including Kol's, his brothers and Mr Saltzman who for some reason looked alarmed and gripped the head chair tightly that I am sure was about to turn because of my intrusion.
I waved at Kol who sprinted outside and came to meet me his face looked white as sheet. "Lena!" he looked close to hyphenating. "How? What are you doing here?"
Before I can say anything a girl came rushing towards us and he screamed at her . "Where were you Holly!" she looked flustered. "Sir I was out for lunch Mr Salvatore told me to not wait since meeting was going to take time."
He flinched at the name Salvatore and then took a deep breath. "Please kindly take my friend to Rose's cabin."
I shook my head while staring at boardroom. "I want to meet Mr Saltzman, it's about Damon." I hope he can understand my urgency. "Please Kol I want to explain that it wasn't Damon's fault he was late."
He held my shoulders and started taking me away from boardroom. "Its okay calm down. How about you wait at Rose's office and I will inform Ric as soon our meeting is on lunch break."
I didn't even realize that Rose , Bonnie and Enzo joined us, Kol and Rose shared a look and then Rose gently tugged my hand "Come Elena lets wait in my office."
Feeling embarrassed at my crashing their meeting I held my head down and followed Rose to her office.
We waited for ten minutes while Bonnie and Rose tried to engage me In conversation but my heart was not in it when suddenly door open and Mr Saltzman and Kol came inside they both looked worried for some reason. "Elena is everything alright? " Mr Saltzman asked me kindly.
"Umm I," I glanced at my friends. "Mr Saltzman I am so sorry for disturbing you people like this especiallyy when you were in an important meeting but," I took a deep breath before I say what I wanted to say all along. "It was my fault Damon got late today, Please don't be angry with him, he was just..."
I couldn't continue as I started crying again and in that exact moment Damon came in, he looked so scared and I register him wearing same jeans and that black shirt that made me cry harder that I hid my face in embarrassment. "Lena baby please don't cry, let me explain myself. I was going to tell you but..."
I detected pain in his voice which confused me more. I removed my hands away and saw him on his knees in front of me. "What? Why are you apologizing?" I asked him in confusion.
His eyes as confused mine, he was about to say something when Kol stepped towards us and squeezed his shoulder. "Elena is here because she thought you're in trouble with Ric because of being late, specially when it was her fault you were late in first place."
His shoulder sagged with relief as he brought me closer in his arms. "I am fine baby. There was nothing to worry about." He assured me while kissing my forehead.
"But? Enzo said Mr Saltzman..." I asked him.
"I just took him because whenever he does something like this he has to pay penalty, maintenance work on upper office cars." Mr Saltzman told me with smile. "If I won't punish him it will send wrong massage to my other workers." I felt weight lifted from my shoulders .
"Thanks for not being angry with him but it was really my fault." I told him in small voice.
"Angry and me nah... I am too mellow boss for that kind of thing."We all laughed and suddenly all tension disappeared when I remember.
"Why was your cell switched off?" I asked my husband who looked confused and then to my surprise he glared at Mr Saltzman who was gulping looking guilty at us when he took Damon cell out of his jacket. "Umm I took it from him earlier and switched it off."
I can feel him getting angry and I don't want him to lash out on his boss. So I got up and took Damon phone from his hands. "Its okay it was innocent misunderstanding."
He smiled nervously and I saw Damon giving a tight smile to him before giving me a genuine smile. "So why were you calling me?"
And then I remember and looked at Bonnie and Enzo in horror. "I am so sorry guys!" but Enzo held my hand.
"Please don't start crying again, consider it as my birthday present please." He begged me and I felt myself go red from embarrassment. "Okay I won't cry anymore ." I turned to Mr Saltzman and smiled at him sweetly. "Umm it's Enzo's birthday today can we go and celebrate it in your cafeteria?"
He frowned, glancing at his watch he said, "Okay but Damon you need to be back in fifteen minutes." He smiled and left Rose's office. "Happy birthday mate." Kol wished him before leaving.
I hand Damon his cell phone and together we went outside and even Rose joined us in the elevator where Bellhop looked surprise seeing us but stays quite.
We all celebrated Enzo birthday in cafeteria and I really enjoyed myself a lot. I guess despite being embarrassed all day this day turned out pretty good.
############
Enzo's P.O.V
The celebration was small and sweet. Three of them turned small part of cafeteria into party central Bonnie even gave me t shirt which says hottest Mechanic ever. DJ cracked up until Elena made him wear my matching shirt and party hat.
To his horror she start taking numerous pictures while rest of us laughed at his horrific expression. I think he felt relieved when a call came on his cell phone. "Hey I have to go back, will you be alright?" he asked his wife in caring voice.
"I am fine besides Enzo break is over as well so Bonnie and I are leaving in few minutes. You go and don't worry about me."
He kissed her sweetly and waved at Bonnie while slapping my back. "See you later mate and happy birthday."
He left and after few minutes Rose left for her office too.
"Hey I think I should head back too." I lean in to kiss Bonnie and stared at her lovingly. "Thanks for this birthday surprise luv, you too Elena."
She looked shy and they both got up. "Your welcome Enzo and sorry for almost ruining your birthday."
I waved my hand and Bonnie gave her one arm hug . "Okay we are leaving before Mrs Preggers starts crying again." She pulled me for a kiss and whispered in my ear. "Bye baby and your special gift will be waiting for you at home so try to come early."
I groaned at that image while she winked at me and left with her friend who apparently knew what she planned as both girls started giggling and with wave they left.
I smiled and made my way towards my department when I thought about calling and checking in with the guy I left in charge in my absence but then I realize I don't have MY cell phone with me. "What the?" I went back in cafeteria to check the table but it was not there and then I remembered. "Shit!"
I hurriedly ran back towards elevator and this time bellhop didn't even question me as I took elevator back to upper office.
I all but ran to Rose's office and saw it empty but my cell was on the table near the chair I was sitting. "Thank God!" feeling relieved I made my way towards out of office when I heard raised voices. Feeling curious I went to check and found it coming from board room.
"I don't care how can you take my cell away and turn it off! " I saw the man's back as he screamed at Mr Saltzman. While all three Michelson and Rose sat quietly.
Mr Saltzman looked really guilty as he tried to explain himself. "I am really sorry, I just want you to concentrate on meeting. I never realize..." he didn't say anything when that Man slammed his fist against the table. "To hell with your meeting nothing is more important than my wife and you bloody knew it!" and then I realize who that man is but couldn't believe it.
"DJ?" the man in black suit turned around and I saw my friend in an attire that eluded his power. From his crisp black suit to his expensive watch and shoes nothing says that he was my friend D.J but his face was same. "D.J what ? What is going on in here?" his face was white as sheet while I register everyone else looked scared too. He stepped closer and never I've felt intimidated by his presence, but this… is different. "Enzo listen I, I can explain if you listen to me calmly."
Before I can even move my muscle outside table receptionist came inside carrying file on her hand and hurriedly held out it to D.J who looked as if he is going to die. "Here is the file you asked for Mr Salvatore." She awkwardly held out the file but when no one moved a muscle she left it on table before getting out of here.
I stared at file and then at that man I always thought of as an employee, my best friend but then I realize who he was as I mumbled the words"Mr Salvatore! You are Mr Salvatore?"
I hoped he would laugh and told me it was a prank or that they all were messing with me on my birthday but when he looked ashamed and nodded his head.
"You liar!" I roared and punch him square on his face and then with last hateful look I left office along with the man that was once my friend.
