AN: Hello people, this is my Christmas gift to you.

ENJOY!

It was two o'clock in the morning when Damon finally came home. He stood in front of the bar and made himself a stiff drink. The vampire could still feel the warmth of that boy's blood flowing through his dead veins. That kill had not been as satisfying as he'd liked because the person he really wanted dead was still walking around breathing in air.

Damon downed the drink in one long swallow and fixed another. His hand suddenly stilled. Damon could smell her delicious scent and knew that she was close.

Bonnie walked into the room ten seconds later and froze like a stature when she saw him.

Damon could see her trying to make up her mind on whether to leave or stay.

"Don't start acting like a little girl now, Fancy Face. Stay and talk to me like the big girl you are." He said, bringing the glass of Bourbon to his mouth.

"Fine." She said, walking further into the room She stood behind the sofa, resting her hand on the back. " So where have you been all night?"

Damon snorted. She wouldn't want to know. So he gave her the same answer she'd given to him earlier. "Out."

His tone was off when he said it and that made Bonnie think he'd been doing something he shouldn't have been and only one thing came to her mind.

Her heart felt a little heavy inside of her chest but she needed to know. "Were…were you with Vicki?"

Damon put down his glass and looked at her. "What if I was Bonnie… would that bother you?"

Silence as she stared down at the sofa.

The girl didn't know he'd moved to her side until she felt the back of his hand touch the side of her face.

"Answer me, would that bother you if I was with her tonight?"

Bonnie got all in her feelings and didn't answer the question because she remembered how he'd done her the last time she rejected him.

"I bet you were with her tonight, you fucking bastard!" She angrily pushed him away from her. Damon allowed this of course, loving the way she never seemed to be afraid of him.

Bonnie was the one person Damon didn't want to fear him.

"So did you bring her home with you to flaunt it in my face…where's she now, waiting for you in your bed while you finish your fucking drink?!"

On the inside Damon Salvatore was grinning his ass off, seeing her jealous like this making him happier then he cared to admit.

"Why don't you go up to my bedroom and see for yourself." He taunted.

The girl's jaw tensed. She looked at him hatefully but behind all that Damon could see the hurt in her eyes and he stopped baiting her.

"I haven't seen Vicki Donovan in weeks Bonnie...there's no one upstairs." He said reaching out and pulling her to him. He gently touched the side of her face, his thumb going to her mouth and lightly grazing her bottom lip. "When are you going to realize that you're the only one I want?"

Bonnie melted against him in spite of herself, hypnotized by the sincerity in his gorgeous blue eyes.

Damon leaned his head down to kiss the tip of her nose, but when he lowered his mouth to hers, she pressed her hand against his chest stopping him.

"I can't do this Damon." She said, her warm sweet breath teasing his lips.

Damon wasn't fazed by her words because he could smell that she wanted him and that was all he needed to know.

"And why is that?" He asked with a pout in his voice.

"Because what we're doing isn't right… and earlier how you just attacked Matt for no reason. I don't want anyone to get hurt because we ..."

He interrupted her. "He grabbed you Bonnie." His jaw tensed just thinking about it.

"To get my attention. He wasn't hurting me like you did." She reminded him on purpose, wanting him to see the difference.

She reached out and cupped his face, not being able to help herself from touching him. "You can't go around attacking people like that Damon, especially over me. You could have seriously hurt him and I wouldn't have been able to forgive you if you had. Jamie and Matt are the only two people that I have left."

The vampire pulled her delicate hand to his mouth and kissed the inside of her palm. "You've got me Bonnie."

She searched his eyes and saw the truth there.

"You've got me." He repeated again more softly.

The petite girl rose up on her tiptoes and kissed Damon.

He took over the kiss in a matter of seconds by cupping her face and inserting his tongue inside of her mouth. He was making her head spin. Damon pulled away when he took the last of her breath.

She breathed heavily into his mouth, her chest heaving. Matt was wrong, Bonnie thought to herself as she looked into Damon's blue eyes. What was going on between them had nothing to do with her brother.

The girl reached up and touched his mouth. "You're so beautiful."

He smiled softly. "Not as beautiful as you." Meaning it with every fiber of his being.

"Pretty liar." She said before going in again and attacking his lips.

Damon lifted her up and Bonnie wrapped her gorgeous legs around his waist, her hands instantly going into that thick mane of black hair.

Damon carried her over to the piano and sat the girl down on the shiny black surface with him situated between her legs. He broke the kiss and looked at her as he began to slide her nightgown up. Bonnie lifted herself slightly off the piano, helping him out and he took the gown completely off.

When Damon saw that she was naked underneath the vampire growled lightly at the back of his throat. He began to kiss her beautiful young breasts, taking a nipple into his mouth and circling it with his tongue before doing the same to the other breast. Bonnie moaned holding the back of his head to her, not wanting him to stop.

Damon could already smell her arousal and couldn't wait to put his mouth on her.

He began to kiss his way down her body and the girl leaned back until she was lying flat against the piano.

Damon spread her legs and Bonnie quivered.

He finally placed his mouth where the both of them wanted it to be and he ate her out until she begged for mercy.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Bonnie and Damon were at the grocery store shopping for tomorrow's dinner. Jamie didn't want to go so they left him at home, playing his video games. Damon pushed the cart while Bonnie walked beside him, in charge of getting everything on their list. She was really enjoying herself. Damon was being silly and making her laugh and at one point she leaned into him touching his arm not realizing how intimate it looked until she noticed an older woman openly staring at them with this funny look on her face.

Bonnie pulled away from him and even though it was subtle Damon still noticed and looked down at her questioningly. Her attention was focused ahead and he turned to see what she was looking at and saw the woman.

Damon wanted to say, what the fuck you looking at, but he didn't, instead he told the woman Happy Thanksgiving as he and Bonnie walked past her.

After that Bonnie kept a respectable distance from Damon and the light mood was gone with both of them being more aware of their behavior.

When they got home, before getting out the car, they kissed each other hungrily knowing they wouldn't be able to for the next few hours.

After dinner, Bonnie began making the sweet potato pies for tomorrow's dinner with both Jamie and Damon helping her out. Every now and then sadness would try to creep up on her with thoughts of her mother but Bonnie pushed it down and tried to stay in the moment.

Damon was in charge of mixing the filling and was actually wearing an apron to protect his expensive clothes from getting stained. Bonnie was standing beside him, rolling out the thawed pie crust and Jamie was sitting out the ingredients for Damon to mix together. They even had Christmas music playing softly in the background.

"Damon can we get a Christmas tree…momma always bought us a tree after Thanksgiving and we decorated the house." Jamie said as he carefully cracked the eggs into the glass bowl.

"Yeah buddy, we'll go get one Saturday."

"For real? I can't wait!" Jamie said excitedly.

Damon looked at Bonnie and found her looking at him, and she smiled softly.

They were interrupted by a stunned voice.

"Am I in the right house?"

Everyone turned towards the kitchen door and there stood Stefan Salvatore, his eyes somewhat big as he took in the scene before him.

"Are you actually wearing an apron brother?" He asked, trying not to smile.

"Brother?" Damon heard Bonnie say beside him.

It seemed like introductions were in order. Damon stopped the hand mixer. "Bonnie. Jamie. This is my little brother, Stefan Salvatore… Stef, this is Bonnie and Jamie Bennett…they live here now."

The younger Salvatore's eyebrows rose. "Is that so…and may I ask how that came about?"

"Our mother died." Jamie supplied for him.

Bonnie dropped the rolling pin and it sounded really loud in the silence that followed Jamie's statement. Damon picked it up for her, lightly squeezing her shoulder.

Stefan caught his brother's eyes. You killed their mother so you could have the girl? He asked telepathically.

NO, you moron. She died in a car accident and I took them in so they wouldn't be separated.

Yeah right. I bet it's very convenient having her right under your roof, brother.

Damon's jaw tensed.

Stefan cocked an eyebrow but then turned his attention to the boy and his sister. "I'm sorry for your loss."

Bonnie nodded her head. She swallowed hard, wanting to change the subject. "Damon never told us he had a brother." She said looking at the vampire beside her.

Stefan chuckled. "That's because he's ashamed of me. I'm the black sheep of the family."

She cocked an eyebrow. "Oh really, now I would have assumed that was your brother." She said, looking at Damon smiling.

He smirked.

"Where's that sexy, rotten son of a bitch hiding?" They all heard seconds before a pretty blonde walked into the kitchen.

All humor left Damon's face and he stiffed beside Bonnie, his eyes turning angry and finding Stefan. I can't believe you brought her here!

Stefan shrugged. How was I supposed to know you'd have your little humans staying here with you? Don't worry, Lexi won't hurt the boy…and the girl will be fine as long as she doesn't learn of your little obsession with her.

Damon glared at his little brother. If that bitch so much as lays a manicured nail on Bonnie, I won't hesitate to end her miserable existence Stefan.

The brothers stared at each other and then Stefan finally nodded his head, realizing that Damon was dead serious.

Stefan threw his arm around his best friend's shoulders, pulling her to him. "Play nice in front of Damon's little humans. They don't know we're all vampires." He said for her ears alone, but of course Damon heard him and looked the blonde vampire dead in her eyes.

"Bonnie. Jamie. This here rowdy blonde is my best friend Lexi Branson and don't mind her foul mouth. She's only like this after a few too many drinks."

Bonnie smiled friendly. "Hello."

The blonde looked from the beautiful petite girl to Damon and back again. "Hey."

Lexi's hazel-green eyes returned to the eldest Salvatore. "Baking pies now blue eyes? I never thought I'd see the day Damon Salvatore would be so…so...domesticated." She almost sneered.

"Yeah well, things change Lexi." Pause. "So how have you been?"

She scoffed. "Like you really care."

Awkward silence filled the kitchen.

Damon and Lexi had a thing for a couple of years back in the 70s but things went sour and he broke it off with her but Lexi never really got over him.

The blue eyed vampire cleared his throat. "So are you two staying for Thanksgiving?" He asked Stefan, trying to fill the silence.

"Yeah, it looks that way. Lexi and I needed a little down time and I thought what better place to relax than good old Mystic Falls."

Damon wasn't fooled. Stef, what's going on?

Lexi and I got into a little trouble with some vampires. We just need a place to stay until things calm down.

Fine but if she fucks up once then she's out of here, Stef.

Don't worry. I got her.

You better.

Jamie got off his stool. "I'll show you to your bedrooms. You two are going to like living here. Damon makes really good pancakes. They're even better than Bonnie's."

"Wow Stef, you hear that, Damon even makes pancakes." Lexi said sarcastically as she and Stefan followed the boy out of the kitchen.

Things were silent for a moment when everyone was gone.

"Your brother seems really nice." Bonnie said, looking at Damon.

"Don't let him fool you…he's a hell raiser." He said, not really kidding.

"Again, that sounds like you."

Damon pulled the girl into his arms, caressing her pretty face. "Smart ass."

Before Bonnie could respond, his mouth was on top of hers, stealing her breath away.

After baking the pies, Bonnie and Jamie went upstairs and left the vampires alone to catch up and talk. They sat in the living room enjoying Damon's expensive Bourbon way on into the night. Around three o'clock in the morning instead of going into his room Damon went to Bonnie's bedroom.

He'd gotten used to having her sleep beside him when Jamie was away and found that he no longer liked sleeping alone, so every night when the boy fell asleep Damon would go to Bonnie's room and stay the night and leave before Jamie got up in the morning.

He took off his shoes and then undressed, sliding into her bed completely naked.

The vampire pulled the sleeping girl against his chest, wrapping his arm around her, holding her close.

He kissed her bare shoulder before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Hazel-green eyes darkened angrily after quietly opening the bedroom door to find Damon sleeping in the girl's bed. She'd gone to his bedroom to fuck him only to find it empty. Her instincts told her exactly where he'd be and sure enough she was right.

Rage filled her as she stared at the two lovers lying sound asleep entangled in each others arms with the girl lying on top of Damon and his arms wrapped protectively around her. The fucker even had a small smile on his lips.

Lexi quietly closed the door and walked back to her bedroom.

If it was the last thing she did, Damon Salvatore was going to pay dearly for breaking her heart.
