Happy New Year! I hope 2017 brings everyone joy!

Thank you everyone for your support. I have to confess, at first I wasn't sure about this fic. However, the more I write and the more that I get your feedback, I have finally connected! Things are about to get pretty damn interesting soon. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement. It helps more than you will ever know.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Damon gently wiped some of his blood away from the corners of Bonnie's mouth with his thumb. He wasn't completely sure how he felt about the fact that she needed him to bite her in order for her to get the big O, but it would stop at some point. He was starting to feel a little inadequate and Damon Salvatore never felt inadequate when it came to sex. Bonnie Bennett had a certain type kink. It was interesting, but one day he would find a way to get her to her point without the biting and exchanging blood. The fact they had exchanged blood at least twice now, would more than likely deepen a bond between them and for the first time in a long time, he didn't think about how he could use it to his advantage.

"So are you still going to deny that we have something going on?" Damon gazed down at her, gently moving a strand of hair from her face.

"Ok…we have something going on, we have great sex," Bonnie rolled her eyes with a smirk.

"And you can admit that you like me just a little bit," Damon leaned down closer with his lips inches away from hers.

Bonnie looked into his eyes. She did like him. The fact that she didn't walk away earlier that night said volumes. She was confused about her emotions and the pull that she felt towards Damon. There were so many secrets floating around, the fact that she was essentially in town to eliminate those like him one by one was a huge secret. Then it was the Katherine issue. There had to be a reason why Stefan refused to tell her who Katherine was or what he knew about her.

"So still holding out on me?" Damon asked caressing her toned stomach.

"I like you ok," she confessed.

Damon grinned, "I figured I could get you to admit it."

Bonnie rolled her eyes but couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. Damon was surprised at the smile she gave him. It was a rarity and it looked so genuine and pure, that it actually made his cold dead heart beat. He picked up her hand lacing his through hers, "I never thought that I would actually like you…"

"Well you really know how to compliment a guy, you know that Bonnie."

She rolled her eyes, "I spent a lot of time coming up with rules and a couple of weeks here with you and my rules are something of the past."

"Rules...tell me, what's up with you and vampires? Do you only date vampires…"

"I don't date vampires, well I haven't in years…"

"So you just…"

"Have sex with them?" Bonnie asked him, since it appeared that he was hinting around at it. It surprised her somewhat. She saw Damon as someone that wasn't exactly the squeamish type when it came to discussing his partner's past exploits, but he actually seemed to care about who she'd been with—what an interesting concept.

Damon grimaced. There was something about hearing her say that which stirred up jealously inside of him, "If that's what you did…"

"I guess its tied to being a witch," she shrugged.

Bonnie hoped that this line of questioning would end soon. Her attraction to vampires more than likely stemmed from her being a witch and a huntress. It was definitely weird and the biting fixation that she had was even worse.

"Well we wouldn't be the first witch and vampire attracted to each other," Damon looked down at her.

"No…I doubt we are," Bonnie replied thoughtfully, "is Stefan still downstairs?"

"He is, he should be ok in a day or two…"

Bonnie nodded and then her eyes widened, "Wait…he's downstairs…he's been down there the entire time," she sat up with the blanket wrapped around her naked body.

"Yessssss…"

"That means he heard us!" Bonnie hissed grabbing the blanket off of Damon completely and wrapping it around her body as she picked up her clothes.

"Bonnie, we're all grown ups here. Stefan probably started to sing to block out any noises," Damon smirked as he stood up, "come on, calm down," he took the clothes out of her hand, "Stefan is above all else a gentleman."

"If he heard us, that means he knows that we…he will tell Elena…"

"Bonnie, you're an adult—why do you care if she knows? She and Stefan aren't exactly in a celibate relationship and trust me, I've had to turn the volume up on my music multiple times…"

Bonnie's hands immediately went to her ears, "Oh my god…stop!"

Damon smiled as he stood in front of her, "We have super hearing, we deal. Don't get weird on me now, we were making progress…come on…lay back down with me."

Bonnie looked at him. Her mind was shouting at her to leave the boarding house at that very moment. "Come on Bonnie," Damon stated quietly, "I want you to stay."

She frowned, "If I stay, it doesn't mean what you think it means."

"I'm sure," Damon took her clothes out of her hand and dropped them to the floor. He placed his hands on her cheeks, "lay with me."

Bonnie leaned up and kissed him. The kiss deepened for a few moments before Damon pulled away, "I thought you didn't want Stefan to hear anything."

"He won't hear a thing," Bonnie mumbled between kisses.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damon watched Bonnie sleep next to him in front of the fireplace. He was tempted to carry her up to his bedroom, but he was pretty sure she would freak out if any of this resembled a relationship. If he was being honest, he wasn't sure what he was doing with Bonnie. He could admit that when he saw her in the Mystic Grille that night, he knew that she was Sheila's granddaughter and chances were she was a witch. He knew that Sheila Bennett was attractive, even in her older age and her granddaughter was no different. Bonnie was beautiful and when he saw her in the cemetery earlier that day. The look on her face as she moved towards Sheila's casket and kneeled down to kiss it appeared to be one of a woman that was devastated and it was only in that moment that she let it show.

When he saw her unexpectedly in the Mystic Grille, she was totally different. The look on her face. The hardness in it, the sexiness of it all…he was instantly attracted to her. He didn't believe in a million years that they would have ended up in his Camaro and ever since then he had been intrigued by her. There was something stirring inside of him that he tried his best to keep under control. Bonnie was definitely different than the women he came in contact with regularly. She challenged him and definitely acted as if his little quips and looks didn't influence her either way. She was a strong one.

She had fallen asleep quickly following their interlude and she was lying on her stomach. His eyes focused on the tattoo on her back. She wasn't exactly shy about showing it to him now. He lightly touched it and she shifted for a moment, but didn't awaken. That tattoo still triggered something for him, but he wasn't sure what it was exactly. One day he would broach the subject with her again. He kissed her back before slipping from the blanket and putting on his pants. It was time to do his brotherly duty.

Damon quickly heated some blood and padded down to the basement, "Brother," he greeted Stefan through the bars.

Stefan looked up at him, "You can unchain me now."

Damon raised an eyebrow, "Can I?"

"You're keeping me locked up here because you get some sick pleasure from it. You are keeping Elena away from me, I'm at your mercy for food…you're punishing me and for what?"

"You took a bite out of Bonnie," Damon replied.

"Bonnie…" Stefan sighed, "this is about Bonnie? Are you using her for something, Damon?"

"We enjoy each other's company," Damon stated evenly.

"And what about Katherine?"

Damon narrowed his eyes, "What about her?"

"She's out there you know. She could pop up at any time and then what, you stop whatever you have going on with Bonnie?"

"I don't want to see that bitch ever again and if I do see her again, I would gladly put a stake through her heart after she made a fool out of me."

Stefan nodded, "I see."

"Here," Damon threw the blood bag in, "enjoy it. You get released tomorrow and then you can run back to Elena."

Stefan said nothing as he picked up the blood bag and Damon turned walking up the stairs. He meant what he said—if he ever laid eyes on Katherine again, he would kill her.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Early the next morning, Bonnie left the Salvatore boarding house. Her night with Damon caught her off guard and she needed to get ahold of her emotions and quickly. She was starting to go off script so much that she wasn't sure that she was even doing her job anymore. The fact that she kept quiet about Stefan being a Ripper was a problem.

The night after the bonfire when Damon walked in with Stefan, something didn't seem right and if Bonnie really thought about it, he more than likely had a Ripper episode and Damon had covered it up. She was betraying everything she knew by not putting Stefan down and the reason why she was ignoring his actions and his nature was because of Elena…and Damon. She hated to admit it, but she liked him a lot more than she should and he was interfering in everything she'd been sent to do. The most upsetting factor about this is that she didn't want to stop seeing with him, being with him or touching him—her attraction to Damon was deep and it threatened to consume her, if she didn't get control of herself soon.

She grabbed her bag out of the backseat of her car and jogged up the stairs to the front door. She retrieved her keys from her pocket and turned the lock, opening the door and stepping inside the house. Immediately she stopped in the doorway, "Hello Bonnie," Rudy stated sitting in a chair facing her.

Bonnie froze in the doorway, "Daddy?"

"Well why don't you come in Bonnie, we have a lot to talk about," he stood up folding his arms.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Congratulations, it's Independence Day," Damon smirked as he unchained Stefan.

As soon as the chains were dropped to the floor, Stefan rubbed his wrists before connecting his fist to Damon's face, sending him toppling back, "That's for keeping me chained up and Elena away from me."

Damon touched his face as he felt the blood pooling in his mouth, "You were out of control and I was keeping you from going around town ripping people apart and oh…saving your ass from the Mystic Falls Council."

Stefan glared, "You took pleasure in locking me up."

"Maybe," Damon shrugged as they headed up the stairs.

"I'm taking a shower and then going to see Elena," Stefan remarked taking a jar clearly marked 'Deer Blood' from the refrigerator. He looked over at Damon with annoyance, who shrugged in response, "really?"

"Believe it or not, I don't want you losing your mind again."

"Oh, I thought you would relish in the fact that you could be considered the good vampire brother," Stefan teased.

"I'm sure that no matter what happens, that will always be your role to play," Damon winked.

"Do you seriously like Bonnie, Damon?" Stefan suddenly became serious, "because if you do and this is someone that you could see yourself having a relationship with, you need to come clean with her about everything."

"Like you came clean to Elena about Katherine," Damon raised his eyebrows, "listen little brother, I get it. You don't like complicated. I don't either. You love Elena, fine…I believe you. However, don't try to give me sage advice when you can't even tell your girlfriend that she looks exactly like our ex-paramour."

Stefan grimaced with every word that Damon stated and when he finished, Stefan nodded, "You're right, but Damon, I know that you care about Bonnie or at least you appear to feel something more for her than your usual conquests, so I'm just giving you a heads up—if she finds out what happened and you're not the one who tells her, things could turn out much worse for you."

"Thank you Stefan, I will take that under advisement," Damon stated walking out of the kitchen.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

An hour later, Bonnie walked down the stairs in sweats and a t-shirt following her shower. Her father's watchful eyes since she walked in the door, gave her nothing but nervous energy. Her father being in town told her that he suspected that something was wrong with her or wrong with her mission and he was more than likely here to get her in line. She knew her father loved her, but the mission sometimes made that hard to believe.

"Glad that you could get cleaned up so we can talk," Rudy gestured towards the couch.

Bonnie nodded and took a seat across from Rudy who sat in the chair, "So let's begin with the fact that you didn't answer my calls yesterday…"

"Dad, I know that you want to make sure I'm safe—but the constant calls and checking in is kind of smothering," Bonnie frowned.

Rudy nodded, "I see, so where were you all night? Liz told me that you found one of the vampires from the bonfire and you staked him, but by the time she reached the scene you were gone."

"That's usually how it goes Dad, I leave before the cavalry arrives…remember?"

"Who is he Bonnie?"

Bonnie's heart dropped in her stomach as her eyes widened, "What?"

"Who's the guy?"

"What are you talking about?"

Rudy gave Bonnie a smile. Not exactly a loving smile, but a smile that said, 'You dumb child.'

"I'm talking about the guy that you spent the night out with. Bonnie, I am not naïve about you being an adult now. You're about to go off to college and when I decided to leave you in Mystic Falls, I knew some things would happen…"

"There's no guy," Bonnie answered quickly, "I was at Elena's last night."

Rudy grimaced and Bonnie suddenly felt nauseous, "Bonnie, I called Jenna. You weren't at Elena's, so tell me the truth. Where were you? I won't judge you, I trust you…but I want to make sure that you are protected and that no one is taking advantage of you."

Bonnie nodded as she looked down at her hands, "Daddy, I'm fine. I know what I'm doing. You taught me how to protect myself and…"

"And all of that is fine, but Bonnie," Rudy sighed, "I think this guy whomever he may be could be distracting you from what you are here for."

"And what am I here for?" Bonnie focused on Rudy, "why am I in Mystic Falls exactly?"

"Because the Council has an issue…"

"Yes, the council has vampires in their town…so do millions of other towns and cities in the world, why am I here, specifically?"

Rudy sighed. He missed the days when his little girl didn't ask many questions and just did as she was told, "I received some intel that there are some vampires in town looking for a certain magical artifact that is rumored to be in Mystic Falls. It's called a moonstone. The stone has extraordinary powers and for the most part, ensures that vampires and werewolves stay in…let's say…their places. If they find it, there will be no stopping vampires from running rampant and slaughters will occur. That's why, we have to make sure that the vampires around this town don't get their hands on it."

"Where is it?"

"I'm not exactly sure of that just yet. I'm speaking to my contacts and I should know soon. The one thing I do know is that we have to stop anyone from finding it, especially a vampire or werewolf."

Bonnie nodded.

"And that's why I need to make sure that you have no distractions and that includes those of the male persuasion."

"Dad, I understand."

"So who is the guy, Bonnie?"

"Umm…Elena's boyfriend's brother and he's…he's just like Stefan," Bonnie forced a smile.

Rudy gave her a doubtful smirk, "Older…younger…"

"Older…"

"How old?" Rudy asked.

"Umm, I think he's in his 20's…" she shrugged, "not too much older than me."

"20's huh? You're only 18 years old Bonnie."

"And I've killed hundreds of vampires…I'm not you average 18-year-old, Daddy."

Rudy nodded, "Touché."

"And Daddy, I really don't want to talk about this anymore…just know that everything is fine and I will be ok. He won't hurt me."

Rudy smiled moving closer to Bonnie sitting next to her on the couch and wrapping his arm around her, "I'm sure you believe that, but I was a young man in my 20's before as well and I know exactly how they think and what they think about."

"Dad this is really weird, can we just go back to the vampires and the moonstone?" Bonnie whined wishing the floor would just swallow her up. She would rather talk about bloodthirsty vampires who could take over the world than her having sex with Damon with her dad.

Rudy chuckled, "Trust me Baby Girl, this conversation is not one I want to have either. I want you to put on your workout gear, we need to do some training—I feel like you haven't exactly been doing it while you've been here."

"Ok," Bonnie nodded being thankful that she didn't have to engage in any more sex talk with her dad.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Again…" Rudy ordered as he held the paddles up at Bonnie's eye level.

Bonnie focused on the middle of the right paddle before firing off alternate jabs, "Good…now kick," Rudy commanded as Bonnie lifted her leg and raised it to Rudy's head without striking him.

"Good…good…" he congratulated her, dropping the paddles, "I see that you're not as rusty as I thought."

"It's only been a couple of weeks."

"You would be surprised at how a few weeks could change everything."

Bonnie smiled reluctantly. She knew that more than anyone. So far in the weeks she'd been in Mystic Falls, she'd become suspicious of her best friend, started sleeping with a vampire, met a Ripper, didn't kill him and neglected to mention it to her father. Things had definitely changed.

After a few more drills, Bonnie followed Rudy in the house. While she removed a bottle of water from the refrigerator, Rudy went through the mail.

"Hmm…they are having that Miss Mystic Falls Gala next month…you going?"

Bonnie looked over at the glossy invitation that he held in his hand. The truth was, she hadn't thought about it. She had been in town for only one of those galas and she hated it. She just wasn't interested in a party in the south that celebrated the great founders of the town who more than likely owned people who looked like her. In addition, the fact that someone like her would never qualify to even compete in the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant made her even less excited to participate in the farce, "No," she answered definitively.

"I don't know, it may be quite interesting…our vampires may be in attendance and we can eliminate some problems before they become one."

"That means, that we're going?" Bonnie frowned.

"Yes, that would be what it means…maybe your 20ish boyfriend will be in attendance and I can talk to him…tell him to be nice to my Baby Girl."

Bonnie plastered a smile on her face, "Lovely."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damon heard Stefan walk into the boarding house hours after he disappeared (more than likely to reunite with Elena) and heard his footsteps coming towards him in the living room, he rolled his eyes as he turned a page in the newspaper he was reading, "Elena told me that you were pretty much a jackass when you told her to stay away," Stefan acknowledged sitting in a chair across from him.

Damon lowered his newspaper, "She's the reason why you went on this rampage in the first place."

"She was trying to help me Damon…"

"Help you, I guess. Anyway, she said that you were in bad shape when she found you, what was wrong?"

"I'm sure you heard this, someone staked me in the stomach in the woods."

"Who?"

"What?"

"Who staked you?"

"I didn't recognize them," Stefan answered.

"You didn't huh?" Damon raised an eyebrow, "then tell me this, what were you and Bonnie talking about before you decided to go all vampire on her?"

"We were talking about what happened in the woods, she asked me who staked me and I told her I didn't recognize them. I blacked out and that must've been when I bit her."

"Hmmm…."

"What?"

"Bonnie is a witch, that's clear but I wonder why she was so interested in what happened in the woods. I mean, yeah someone did knock her out too…"

"Then that must be the reason, what other reason could there be?" Stefan asked.

"I'm not exactly sure," Damon answered as his mind began to work.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"So I was thinking that we could have a redo of what happened last night," Damon walked around his bedroom lighting candles.

Bonnie smiled. The mere thought of Damon's hands touching her and caressing her body made a warmness come over her. When had she become this mushy girl who thought about getting laid by some guy quite often. She was pretty much the 'lay them and leave them' kind of girl prior to hooking up with Damon, "I'm sorry, I can't come over…not for a couple of days at least," she answered.

Damon immediately stopped lighting a candle, "Still need time to recover?"

"No," she deadpanned, "it's just…my father's in town."

Damon's smirk immediately melted. The mere mention of the father of a girl he wanted to dick down all around the house was enough to kill any buzz he had, "Your dad's in town," he repeated.

"Yes, he wanted to check up on me and he's not exactly leaving for awhile," she commented almost regrettably.

"I'm sure you can get away for a couple of hours…"

"Not right now I can't. We're umm…we're going through some of my grandmother's things and I don't want to leave him to go through the stuff alone," Bonnie stated. It wasn't a complete lie. They had searched her Grams' things for any indication as to where a moonstone was or where they could possibly find it and there was nothing. No trace of anything called a moonstone.

"So I guess me coming over there is out of the question?" Damon asked.

Bonnie's face contorted as she looked at her phone, "You want to come over here with my dad here?"

Damon opened his mouth and then closed it. While he did have physical relations on his mind, he missed Bonnie. The more time he spent with her, the deeper connection he felt to her. It could be the fact that they had shared blood, but he believed there was more. He wanted to explore it and spending time with her was a way to do it, "Sure, why not?" he asked.

"Umm…I don't know, I don't think it's the right time to meet my dad and all, you know?"

"Oh are you ashamed of me Bonnie Bennett?" Damon teased her.

Bonnie shook her head with a smile on her face, "Not at all, I just know that my dad is not ready to meet Damon Salvatore just yet…"

"Bonnie…we need to go," Damon heard a voice in the background.

"Ok, Daddy…give me five minutes," she called, "Damon, I have to go…we will talk soon."

"Ok…" Damon let the silence linger for a few moments and then he spoke again, "hey, I do want to see you again," he remarked sincerely.

A smile spread across Bonnie's face, "You will."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie kneeled down and thrust the stake into the vampire's chest. "Your reactions are delayed," Rudy critiqued as he texted.

"He wasn't even on the list."

"He tore into that woman's neck outside of the club, were we supposed to be just sit back and let it happen?"

"No, but…I thought we had a list and we stuck to that list. If we didn't, mistakes would happen and…"

"Rules change Bonnie," Rudy interrupted her, "come on, we have to get out of here."

"We didn't even ask him about the moonstone," Bonnie picked up her bag and trudged through the trees with Rudy.

"I have someone else who has agreed to give us information on the moonstone," Rudy replied, "just trust me, Bonnie."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damon watched from the threshold of the living room as Stefan and Elena lay on the couch reading from the same book. They had silly grins on their faces as they read some crappy romance novel making fun of it. Stefan looked so carefree and almost…human. Damon was envious, if he was being honest.

When he first showed up to Mystic Falls and got a look at his brother's new girl, he was actually speechless (which was something for Damon). She was a carbon copy of Katherine and for a few moments, he was tempted to seduce her away from Stefan but after actually speaking with her and realizing she was nothing like Katherine, he kind of lost his boner to even attempt a seduction. She was best left to Stefan. Bonnie, even though she was different than Katherine in many ways, was more his speed. While she had a smart little mouth, that could do amazing things. She was fearless and she had such a mystery about her, that piqued his interest and made him want to know more. She could be vulnerable, but it wasn't the damsel type of vulnerability—it was something else.

"Damon, can we help you?" Stefan's voice broke those his thoughts.

He blinked to see Stefan and Elena staring at him expectantly, "I was just wondering, have you spoken to Bonnie today, Elena?"

Damon watched as the facial expression on Elena's face changed completely, "No, she's spending time with her father," Elena stated evenly, "they are spending time going through Sheila's things and I seriously doubt she wants to talk to you in any capacity."

Damon glanced over at Stefan, who put his head down, "Right," Damon chuckled as he continued down the hallway and out of the door.

Elena turned to Stefan, "I don't like Damon's fixation on Bonnie."

"I don't think Damon will harm Bonnie."

"He's already done enough harm, Stefan," Elena sighed, "you know that and I know that and if Bonnie ever found out, she would hate all of us, including Damon—who probably deserves it more than anyone."

"What happened to Sheila was a mistake. As much as we would like to change what happened, we all have to take responsibility for what happened," Stefan sat up watching as Elena's eyes bugged out.

"Damon threatened me…he threatened us…we had no other choice and Sheila wouldn't have said no anyway…"

"Yes, but…Elena, I think you need to prepare yourself," Stefan took her hand, "if it comes out what happened the night before Sheila died, Bonnie may hate all of us…that includes you Elena."

Elena nodded as tears appeared in her eyes, "I know…I know."

Stefan pulled her into his arms, "Maybe you just need to tell her."

Elena shook her head, "I don't want to lose my best friend," she held onto him.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie watched as another car pulled up next to her car that she occupied with Rudy. "Bring your bag," Rudy ordered as he opened up the driver's side door. Bonnie looked out of the window of the passenger side and noticed a woman with scarlet red hair stepping out of her car. Bonnie grabbed her bag and joined Rudy outside of the car.

"Angelica," Rudy greeted the woman.

"Randolph, it's been a long time."

Rudy shrugged as Angelica peered over and looked over at Bonnie, "And this is your daughter? The one that is being whispered about around Mystic Falls?"

Bonnie slipped her hand in her bag as she met Angelica's green eyes.

"What information do you have for me?" Rudy asked.

Angelica rolled her eyes, "Where's my ring, Rudy?"

Bonnie's eyes widened as she looked over at her father. What exactly did she mean about a ring?

"After I get the information," Rudy stated.

Angelica rolled her eyes, "The moonstone has been in the possession of the Lockwood family for years. I have no interest in it, but there are plenty of vampires that are after it. I personally don't believe the powers that it allegedly has, but many idiots do."

"The Lockwoods," Rudy remarked thoughtfully.

"The rumor is that it's in a safe at their home."

"How do you know all of this?" Bonnie asked.

Angelica smiled, "Mason Lockwood, the mayor's brother and I have quite a relationship and it's amazing what certain people will say when they are…engaging in certain activities."

Bonnie blanched.

"Thank you for your information," Rudy stated.

"Now where's my ring, Rudy?" Angelica held out her hand.

Rudy smiled, "Sorry Angelica, unfortunately I have to renege on our deal."

Angelica's eyes widened as her mouth twisted into a snarl, "What do you mean?"

"I heard, you've been a very bad girl around Mystic Falls. Leaving bodies in your wake…causing trouble for the council…"

Bonnie looked from Rudy to Angelica and she had an increasing bad feeling about this. Her stomach was starting to tighten and she nausea came over her.

"We had a fucking deal, Rudy!" Angelica hissed.

"Yes, but you know that the Council can only allow but so many problems to exist in Mystic Falls and they decided that you are a problem they don't want to exist," Rudy stated emotionless, "Bonnie?" he turned to her.

Bonnie's eyes bugged out, "Daddy?"

"Bonnie…you have a job, do it," he ordered.

Bonnie turned around to face Angelica with a sense of dread. She'd killed hundreds of vampires over the last 10 years and aside from the first couple of kills, she had been able to turn off her emotions almost immediately. This was different. It was unexpected and it wasn't as if she needed to kill this vampire because they were attacking her. This seemed so wrong.

"Rudy…you will not get away with lying to me," Angelica snarled as she began to rush towards Rudy, but Bonnie threw up her hands stopping her in place.

"Bonnie, you have a job…do it!" Rudy barked at her causing Bonnie's entire body to go rigid.

"Wow, Rudy…teaching your daughter to be a killing machine…it's almost as if she doesn't have a mind of her own. She's a tool for you and the council, isn't she?" Angelica taunted.

"Bonnie…do it!" Rudy shouted so loudly that it sent a jolt through Bonnie's body as she almost felt like she was outside of her body when she removed the stake from her bag and plunged it into Angelica's chest. Immediately the vibrant scarlet haired vampire's skin greyed and she collapsed to the ground.

Bonnie stood over her and she could barely hear her father calling the council. She felt like she was in a tunnel and every sound was distorted. She just found herself staring down at Angelica as her entire body shook.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie sat in the living room staring at her hands. There was no blood, but she felt like she had blood all over her hands. The way things happened with her father earlier didn't sit right with her, in fact it made her sick. It was almost like when she was that 8-year-old girl just learning what her calling was and he had to force her to kill vampires. While Angelica may have been trouble, the double cross is what made her the most uneasy. She agreed to speak to Rudy for a reason and to see her father act so coldly and dismissively unnerved her.

"So we can look for the moonstone during the gala," Rudy stated placing his phone on the coffee table.

"Did you actually promise that vampire tonight a day walker ring?" Bonnie asked looking up at him.

"Bonnie…"

"Daddy, did you promise her that in exchange for the information on the moonstone?"

"Bonnie, things are complicated in our world…"

"I know that," Bonnie snapped, "but that was something different…it felt different."

"And you know that things don't exactly happen perfectly, we are in a nasty business Bonnie—but we are doing it for the greater good. You know I want to protect you".

"Tonight was not the way we do things," Bonnie answered.

"We do things the way I say we do things Bonnie," Rudy focused on her, "and the next time you hesitate like you did tonight, you could end up dead."

Bonnie fumed as she stared at her father. He had double crossed someone and it unnerved her. She was taught there was some kind of code to what she was doing, but tonight put all of that into question. Bonnie stood up and snatched her keys off of the table.

"Where are you going Bonnie?" Rudy stood up following her to the door.

"Out, I need some air. I need to not be here…am I allowed out of this house?" she asked.

"Do what you have to do," he sighed.

Bonnie turned and walked out of the door. Bonnie got in her car and she breathed out heavily as tears formed in her eyes. She reached for her cell phone, "Are you home?" she asked wiping her tears with the back of her hand, "are you alone?"

"I am."

"I will be there soon," she ended the call.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

As soon as he ended the call with Bonnie, he texted Stefan and told him that the boarding house was not somewhere he wanted to be. He didn't wait for a response before turning the phone off. He walked over to the drink cart and poured a glass of bourbon. He hadn't expected to see Bonnie tonight, but his excitement over seeing her was kind of surprising. He swallowed the bourbon.

For years, he waited for Katherine. He wasn't a monk, but he never wavered in his love for her. She taught him things that he didn't think was possible. He loved her. He was committed to her. He was consumed with loving her and he was willing to wait forever for her. When the tomb opened and she was no where to be found, he was crushed and he lashed out. He lashed out at everyone. He could have killed Stefan that night, but Sheila stopped him. She made the blood vessels in his head explode and virtually incapacitated him long enough for him to wake up on the floor of the tomb alone.

From that moment, he went on a rampage of sucking and fucking that night. He didn't care and he was all set to leave town until he heard about Sheila's death. At first, he smiled—it was what she deserved after what she did to him in that tomb, but when he stood in the cemetery making sure that Sheila was dead…he caught a glimpse of Bonnie and that caught him off guard. He forgot about his anger at Katherine and at Sheila Bennett and focused on her—the newest Bennett witch.

He smiled as he took a sip of his bourbon, "Sheila, I am sure you are rolling in your grave right now…but no worries, I like her…I like her a lot," he whispered drinking.

He poured some more and a knock on the door caused him to down the drink quickly. He sauntered towards the door and opened it, smiling at Bonnie. She didn't exactly look the same. There was something sad about her eyes, but when she looked up at him—she quickly covered it up.

"Well I didn't expect to see you so s…" he tried to get out, but was caught off guard by Bonnie stepping over the threshold and pushing him up against the wall. Damon wasn't sure what got into her, but she attacked his neck with kisses and the way she sucked on his neck immediately sent all the blood from his head to her groin.

"Bon…whoa…no hi?" he asked.

"Hi," she said pulling his shirt over his head in between kisses.

"Bonnie…not that I'm complaining…wow…umm…" he stated as he watched her kiss a trail down his chest and her hands went to his belt buckle and began to work it free, "Bonnie, what…"

"Are you seriously trying to complain right now," she looked up into his eyes with a hint of annoyance.

"Well Bonnie, I mean…not really…but…I didn't…" he began, but his thoughts suddenly disappeared out of his head as he felt her lips wrap around him. He breathed out slowly as she slowly took him completely in her mouth and he braced himself against the wall, "Bon…," he breathed as her lips almost made it hard for him to form a more any coherent words. But he could form grunts and moans though. She was skilled. He didn't even want to think how she became this skilled, but she was skilled. As he felt his climax building, he realized he didn't want it to end like that, he grabbed her up and lifted her up, sitting her down on the console table. He quickly removed her jeans and her panties throwing them towards the stairs, before entering her slowly. Her sharp intake of breath that filled the air as he slowly moved in and out of her was like music to his hears. She wrapped her arms around him as their bodies melded and the table bounced off the wall repeatedly.

"You are so wet," Damon whispered in her ear, "you feel so good."

"You like?" she purred.

He thrust into her, "What do you think?" he answered before lifting up her shirt and flipping her bra up, placing her breast in his mouth. He sucked and then flicked her nipple with his tongue causing her to moan loudly. Her moaning did something to him as he moved his mouth from her brown mounds and placed his lips on hers. He lifted her arms over her head holding them up against the wall as he continued to thrust in and out of her. Her moans and her gasps made him increase his thrusts and she held onto him tighter as he could feel his climax coming.

"Bite me…please…bite me!" she screamed out.

Damon felt his fangs itch as they protruded from his gums and he sank them into her neck, "Shit! Yes…oh my god…Damon!" she screamed as he hurried his thrusts.

"Bonnie!" he screamed as he climaxed and immediately had to grab her because her legs were so weak that she almost hit the floor. He kissed her glistening forehead as she caught her breath and stared directly into her eyes. They stood there in the middle of the foyer staring into each other's eyes without saying a word to each other. The truth was—at that moment, neither one knew exactly what to say to each other.

So a lot happened in this chapter. Rudy's there and he's not exactly trusting his Baby Girl anymore. Then we have Bonnie losing trust in her father and her mission. In addition, the Katherine mystery is still looming (it will come out soon enough), but one secret comes out in the next chapter and it doesn't exactly go over well…

Please show your love/like for this chapter.
