"It feels like a lifetime." Elena said, planting a kiss on Stefan's lips.

Stefan tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears and stroked her cheek tenderly.

"I missed you too." He whispered.

They kissed each other again, softly at first, then melting into each other's mouths, enjoying drinking each other's breaths. Elena then noticed the familiar ache slowly growing bigger in her stomach, and she deepened their kiss. As Stefan said, it had only been a few days since they had seen each other, but Elena had longed to have his hands caressing her skin and his lips on hers.
She wanted him to know just how much she yearned for him.

She pulled him toward her – Stefan throwing the cushion aside in the process – so that he was lying on top of her. Their lips danced eagerly as Stefan brushed his tongue against hers.
Elena hooked her legs around his hips, earning a deep moan from Stefan as she quickly gained control of the kiss and straddled him. Her heart was drumming so loud that she was positive Stefan could hear it too.

Stefan and Elena had already had sex a few times, each time was better than the last, but this was the first time Elena had fought for control. It wasn't that Stefan never let her. She usually liked when Stefan called the shots. But there was something about moment that made her want Stefan completely at her mercy. She knew that he was on edge ever since she let him drink her blood at Pearl's house, and something in her warned her that Stefan could lose control. But, at this moment, she wanted him to give in to whatever desires he craved.

As she entangled her fingers with his, pinning him to the mattress, she tugged at his bottom lip with her teeth, causing Stefan to hiss in response.
Before she could think, Stefan was on top of her again, kissing her hungrily, moaning as their tongues intertwined.
As if Stefan could read her thoughts, he reached down and gently rubbed his hand along her inner thigh, causing Elena to gasp at the friction she craved.

"Oh Jesus…" she breathed against his lips and pulled Stefan's sweatshirt over his head eagerly.

Stefan sat up for a moment to undo the buttons on his shirt, and Elena joined him, straddling his lap, impatiently waiting for his skin on hers again. When he tossed his shirt aside, she trapped her lips eagerly on the sensitive part of his neck as Stefan tugged at her long sleeve shirt, tracing his hands slowly along her ribcage as he peeled it off her body.
Elena hung her head back as Stefan traced his lips along the tops of her breasts. His hand returned to her inner thigh, causing her to sigh and moan and tighten her fingers in Stefan's locks. Knowing it wasn't enough, he unfastened the button on her jeans and slid his hand underneath her lacy maroon underwear, and the other hand moving to one of her breasts under her matching bra.

Stefan's fingers moved dexterously along her entrance as Elena moved her mouth to one of his ears, moaning "I want you."

Quickly, he slipped her jeans and underwear off as Elena panted in anticipation, and immediately after, yanked his jeans off. They held each other close, breathing in each other's scents.

"I need you." Stefan growled.

Elena laid back down, letting Stefan hoist one of her legs over his shoulder to position himself at her entrance.
In one slow thrust, he was fully sheathed inside her, causing both of them to cry out in ecstasy. Soon Stefan's momentum matched Elena's as she grasped at the pillows beneath her with each movement already bringing her closer and closer to the edge.
Stefan held Elena's leg over his shoulder, rolling his pelvis in rhythmic thrusts that made Elena moan loudly with each motion.
The ache inside Elena had grown into fiery hot lust that she could barely contain. She sat them both back up and positioned herself to sit backwards on his lap, grasping a handful of Stefan's hair so his face was buried deep in her neck. But she couldn't keep that position for long. Her legs were quivering so vigorously that she ended up on her hands and knees, which positioned them so perfectly that they both knew they weren't going to last much longer.

"Stefan…" Elena gasped, barely able to summon words. "Come…with me…"

Stefan leant over her, burying his face in Elena's shoulder, gasping as he moved inside her faster, harder, deeper.
Suddenly, Stefan felt that overwhelming bloodlust he had been struggling with for the last few days. His fangs ripped through his gums painfully, and it stung as the veins rippled under the circles of his eyes. His sensitive ears could hear the blood pulsating through Elena's body.

Not now. Please not now! Stefan pleaded the bloodthirsty animal within him.

Elena turned to face him. Stefan expected her to react in fear and run scared at the monster he had been trying to tame for the last few days.
Instead, she stayed gazing at him with her body and her breath quivering in desperation.

"Please…don't stop." She begged between her panting breaths.

All at once, Stefan wasn't afraid anymore. He still craved the blood that made her heart pump so rapidly. But his need to make her feel as good as she always made him feel was stronger than any craving.
He took a few deep breaths, and he leant forward, bringing her face to his as he kissed her passionately, picking up the pace once again. When he reached one of his hands between her legs, it became too much. Elena opened her mouth and let out a loud wail, which also triggered Stefan's climax.

"Ah!" He grunted, sucking in a sharp breath between his gritted teeth.

They both rode out their orgasms until their shaking legs couldn't hold them up anymore and they collapsed on the bed, both panting messes.

It felt like ages until they could catch their breaths. Stefan rolled off her, slowing his ragged breathing as he gazed at Elena's ecstasy filled eyes.

"What?" she asked with that childlike smile Stefan adored.

He kissed her once before holding her to his chest.

"I love you so much." He whispered.

She buried her face in his smooth chest, tracing her fingers up and down his arms. "I love you too."
