A/N: This story was supposed to be a one shot, but your lovely reviews encouraged me to write the second chapter that I had mentioned. I'm glad I did write it now, I think a lemon was needed for this! Remember, Rated M for adult language/content!

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed the first chapter!

** "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing" **


Elena stared at herself in her full length mirror, unsure if she liked what she saw. She'd curled her hair into loose ringlets, and she was wearing an abstract print dress with spaghetti straps that flowed to mid-thigh. She'd matched the pretty dress with her favourite heels - white Louboutins that her parents had given her for her sixteenth birthday. She finished off her outfit with a rose gold, crown shaped key necklace which was encrusted with diamonds.

She realised that never in her life had she spent this long getting ready for a date, until now. She'd been trying on different dresses for three hours!

She grabbed her purse and walked downstairs. Jeremy was in the lounge with a few of his friends from school. Jenna was out with Alaric and she told Jeremy that he could have some friends over until she got home

"I'm leaving in a minute, Jer. If you need anything then call my cell, kay?" Elena said, while she smoothed out her hair

"Sure. You look great, sis," Jeremy said and smiled at her

"Yeah, you look hot," one of his friends said, smirking. His arrogance irritated her. Sure, Damon was arrogant, she thought, but it was different. He wasn't a sixteen year old kid desperate to get laid, and thought the best way to get what he wanted was by being a total dick

She ignored the desperate dick, and kissed her brother on the cheek. "Thanks, Jer. Have a good time."

Just as she finished her sentence, there was a knock on the door. Her heat skipped a beat, and her palms got a little sweaty from the nerves

"Bye!" Elena practically shouted at Jeremy. She was getting anxious.

She ran as fast as she could to the door in her four inch heels. She yanked it open and was graced with the flawless sight of Damon.

He looked incredibly sexy in dark jeans, which hung low on his waist, and a black button up shirt

"Well, Miss Gilbert, I must say that you look stunningly beautiful tonight," Damon said, grinning. After giving her a complimentary once over, he allowed his eyes to linger on her legs.

"You don't look half bad yourself," Elena giggled, shutting the front door behind her

"Oh please, you and I both know how hot I look right now," Damon said, his usual sexy smirk on his face

"Oh please, you and I both know how arrogant you are right now," Elena retorted, earning a chuckle from Damon

He opened the passenger door to his Chevy Camaro for her. Elena got in the car, smiling at how gentlemanly he was being

They drove towards the Grill, listening to the stereo. "Are you still going to do your dare? Or are you a chicken tonight?" Elena teased

"I'm definitely still doing it! And I'll be the one laughing when I get at least one of their numbers," he joked, causing Elena to burst into a fit of giggles. "We'll see."

Once they got to the grill, Elena hopped out the car and walked inside, Damon behind her. They went straight to the bar. Elena looked around, finding the first guy for Damon to hit on, whilst Damon ordered the drinks

"Find anyone good enough for me yet?" Damon chuckled, handing her a Vodka and coke

"The blonde guy in the corner booth," Elena told him. Damon followed her gaze, to the odd looking blonde in the corner. He was on his own and he clearly wasn't a natural blonde

"Fine," Damon sighed, picking up his drink and making his way over to the corner booth. As certain as he was that this dare was going to highly amuse him, all he really wanted was his date with Elena to start

He sat opposite the guy and smiled widely at him

"Hi, I'm Damon Salvatore. I haven't seen you around before," he said, fluttering his lashes a little

The guy gulped, and looked at the table, "I'm new in town," he mumbled. Damon frowned, this guy had zero confidence

"I could show you around one day if you want? I know where all the hot spots are," Damon said huskily

Suddenly, the blonde stood up and dashed out of the Grill. Damon stared at the seat, which had been occupied moments ago, completely dumbfounded

He walked back over to Elena, still in shock

"Did you scare him off?" Elena asked, laughing already

"He was weird," Damon muttered and shrugged

"Okay, try that guy in the green shirt over by the pool table," Elena said, enjoying this dare immensely

"Do I have to?" Damon groaned

"Yes! I did all of my dares, and I agreed to go on a date with you. Time for you to suck it up and get over there and get yourself a man," Elena said, doubling over in laughter the second she finished her sentence

Damon glared at her, unimpressed that she found his suffering amusing, and was even cracking jokes about it.

Once she calmed down, she looked up at him through her thick lashes and shot him a flirtatious smile. "If you do the dare, you might get a... reward at the end of the night."

Damon perked up at her words. 'Well if there was a reward...' Damon thought

He practically ran over to the guy by the pool table. The guy looked at Damon, and gave him an appreciative once over which made Damon cringe

Mr Green Shirt was no fun at all. He gave Damon his number not long after introducing himself. Damon chucked the piece of paper in the bin on his way back over to Elena

"Aw, Damon, I think he really likes you," Elena giggled

"Don't ever say that again," He snapped

"Okay, this is your last guy now. The hot one at the end of the bar," Elena said, subtly pointing to the guy

"Okay," Damon muttered, trudging towards Elena's third choice

"Hi, I'm Damon Salvatore," Damon said, holding his hand out to the guy

"Hey, I'm Dean," he introduced himself, shaking Damon's hand

"I haven't seen you around here before," Damon said, making conversation. He was trying not to be as forward as he was with the blonde

"My dad's company just transferred him here, I moved from Atlanta," he said, looking at something over Damon's shoulder

"Atlanta, great place," Damon mused, thinking about his and Elena's little time out

Dean nodded, slightly distracted. "Hey man, you know that hot brunette you're here with?" he murmured, still looking over Damon's shoulder

"Yeah, what about her?" Damon asked defensively

"Could you give her my number? She's smokin' dude!"

'Dude, seriously? Idiot.' Damon thought

"Ask her yourself," Damon growled, stomping back over to Elena

"How'd it go? Did you get his number too?" Elena asked giddily

"No. He wants to give you his number," Damon sighed, downing the glass of Bourbon Elena had ordered for him

"Feeling rejected, Damon?" she snorted, sipping her own drink

"No. I could care less about that. I don't like the way he was looking at you," he muttered, his eyes narrowing

"Hey," Elena whispered, taking his hand in her own. They locked eyes, and she smiled at him comfortingly. "I'm here with you."

How could he stay mad when she smiled at him like that? It just wasn't possible.

They found a booth at the back and they ordered some food. They ate and talked about random things, and Elena realised she was having a great time. It was probably the best date she'd ever been on.

"Have you spoken to Stefan at all?" Damon asked, chewing on some fries

"Nope," Elena said flatly

"Are you angry with him?" Damon asked, curious

"I don't blame him for breaking up with me, not even a little bit. Who wouldn't be furious if their girlfriend had feelings for their brother? I didn't like how much of an ass he was being when he broke up with me though," Elena sighed

"You were honest, that's all that matters," Damon assured her

"I don't think Stefan see's it that way."

"Well, Stefan's an idiot then," he said and chuckled lightly. "Because anybody who knows you, knows you believe in being honest and knows that you'd never hurt someone intentionally. Because you're Elena," he stressed

Elena liked how sweet he was being. He had showed her a whole different side of himself tonight, and she was appreciative of that. She loved Damon when he was smirking and making her laugh, but it was nice to see a soft side of him

"Thank you," she whispered, tightly gripping his hand.

They played a few games of pool after they ate, and then they decided to leave.

Elena chatted away animatedly the whole drive back, and Damon couldn't keep the grin off of his face. She'd been so happy all night. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen her smile and laugh this much

When they pulled up to the Gilbert house, Damon got out of the car and walked her to the front door

"I had a great time tonight, Damon. Thank you for taking me out," Elena said, smiling still

"No need to thank me," he assured her and added, "I had a great time too."

She got on her tippy toes and gave him a tight hug. She wanted to show him how much she appreciated his company. He'd cheered her up when she was feeling down, and he'd been so kind to her

When they both pulled away, there was only a breath of space between them. They started into each other's eyes, daring the other to make the first move

Damon sure as hell wouldn't be making the first move, not after what happened the last time he had kissed her. He'd ended up snapping her brother's neck!

Elena remembered that she was the one trying to show her gratitude, so she leaned forward and gently placed her lips on his.

He kissed her back softly. He cupped her face, and grazed his thumb along her cheek. He pulled away after half a minute, not wanting to push his luck

"Goodnight, Damon," she murmured, kissing him once more but on the cheek

She turned around to open her front door. She could hear him starting to walk away, and she didn't like how lonely she felt because of that. What are you doing, Elena? She thought.

She spun around, feeling like an idiot for letting him begin to leave

"Damon!" She called. He turned around and raised an eyebrow at her questioningly. "Yes?"

"Do you want to come in for a bit?" She asked, praying he wouldn't say no

He smirked at her and nodded. "Can't live without me for even five seconds, huh?"

"Shut up," she giggled, grabbing his hand and leading him inside

They walked upstairs, and he strolled straight into her bedroom. Elena shut the door behind her, and then looked over at Damon

"So, do you want that reward now or later?" She asked him, her voice taking a husky tone

"Now," he said abruptly

"Are you-"

"Now."

Elena walked over to him, and crushed his body to her own. She snaked her arms around his neck and crashed her lips against his. She pushed his jacket off of him, and he pulled her backwards with him until they fell onto her bed

Damon made quick work of her clothes. He had her naked in no time. As he kissed her neck, she unbuttoned his jeans and pushed them down, along with his boxers, with her feet

Damon marvelled at her beautiful body. He kissed every last inch of it, making sure there was no part of it left unappreciated

Her breasts then drew his attention. He took one of her nipples into his mouth, and gently swirled his tongue around the pebbled skin

"Damon... don't... tease," Elena rasped out, beginning to notice a desperate ache forming between her legs, which had been there many times when she'd been around Damon

"What do you want, Elena?" Damon asked her teasingly, nibbling on her ear

"Fuck me!" She growled, her patience thin

Damon was shocked at her choice of words. She didn't swear all that often. He figured it was a part of the old Elena peeking out

He positioned himself at her entrance and kissed her softly. "Are you sure?" he checked. He didn't want to feel like he had taken advantage of her

"I'm positive," she said sweetly, kissing him back

Damon gently pushed into her, and didn't move at first so that she could get used to him

Elena gasped, taking in his size. It hurt a little bit, because he was larger than what she was used to

Once she felt ready, she thrust her hips up to meet his. Damon moaned loudly as her slick heat encircled his entire length. She was amazingly tight.

"Christ, Elena. You're fucking tight," Damon grunted, thrusting into her a little harder this time, causing Elena to moan loudly

"Harder, Damon. Please," She begged, thrusting her hips up once again

Damon began to thrust harder and faster, pleasured by how perfectly he fit inside her.

Her inner walls squeezed him in all the right places, and he managed to hit spots inside her that made her scream unbelievably loud

He pressed deeper, and Elena was squirming beneath him, desperate for her release to come

"Damon, I..."

"What Elena? Is something wrong?" he asked, slowing his thrusts a little, but sped up again when Elena shook her head

"I just... I love you," She whispered, placing a soft kiss on his throat

Damon stopped thrusting completely then, the shock stunning him beyond belief. He stared at her, trying to figure out if she'd actually said what he thought he had heard

"I. Love. You!" She stressed, desperate for him to believe her

"Really?" He said uncertainly, but there was a hint of a smile on his lips

"Yes," she said, and kissed him passionately. She lost herself in the kiss, and was only aware of his mouth and his thrusts which were getting more rapid

"I love you too, but of course you know that," Damon chuckled, starting to really pound into her

"Fuck, Damon!" She screamed. She was close to the edge, and Damon knew it

He was using his Vampire speed to fuck her now. He was going so fast and pounding so hard, she knew she'd be sore for a few days, but it was well worth it. She'd had the most amazing sex of her entire life

"Damon, bite me!" Elena rasped out, her climax just around the corner

He thought about it for a second. He didn't want to hurt her, but he trusted himself when it came to drinking blood. He knew when to stop. And she wanted him too, so he couldn't see a reason for him not to...

His fangs dropped, and he gently kissed along the length of her throat, until he got to the perfect spot.

His fangs penetrated her beautiful skin, and he drank the delicious blood that flowed from the wound. Her blood was better than any he'd ever tasted before. It was sweet with a hint of spice, like a tastier version of Cinnamon. It was just... uniquely Elena.

Once he decided he'd drank enough, he cleaned the wound, and then bit into his wrist and pressed it against Elena's mouth

"Drink, it'll heal the wound, and you won't be as sore once we... finish," Damon said, smirking again

She drank a little bit of his blood, and he watched as her wound closed up

"Damon," Elena moaned. He'd pulled out of her whilst she was drinking his blood, and this annoyed Elena to no end. Her release was so close!

Damon pushed back into her, and it only took a few thrusts until they both went over the edge. Elena yelled out his name, and shook furiously as they both rode out their orgasms. Damon moaned pleasurably as he spilled his seed inside her

Once they both calmed down, he collapsed on the bed next to her. They both had bad cases of sex hair, and they were covered in sweat

They lay in silence, remembering every second of what had just happened. Neither of them could believe it... and neither of them had ever been happier than they were in this moment

"I'm sorry... that it took so long for me to realise how I felt," Elena whispered, cuddling into Damon's side

"It's okay. The sex made up for it," He chuckled, a smug smile on his face

"Arrogant Vampire," she muttered and then yawned. She was exhausted

"Admit it, my arrogance turns you on," Damon retorted, unable to keep that sexy smirk off of his face

"Maybe," she mumbled, her eyes getting heavy. He wrapped his arms around her and watched as she fell into a peaceful slumber. He was amazed that something so beautiful could belong to him.

Moments later, he fell asleep too, a small smile on his face as he repeated those three words in his head. I love you.
