"Do you think we fooled them?"

Caroline lifted her head from Stefan's chest "We did a better job of fooling them than they did of fooling us. Of course, that's not saying much." She shook her head, "seriously, they were together for, what, eight months, and they thought we didn't notice anything?"

Stefan chuckled, "well you have to admit, the whole 'scentless' thing threw us off for a bit."

"A few weeks... but after that..."

"After that, we remembered that Bonnie is a witch and was probably doing something to make us unable to scent them."

Caroline nodded her head in agreement, then grumbled, "Still, I can't believe they thought we wouldn't notice how often they disappeared at the same time, and at the end... even with Bonnie's olfactory magic, they weren't being very careful about other things. You saw a couple of hickeys on Bonnie..., and sometimes they would come back from being in another room together – clothes done up differently than they had been previously... I mean come on!"

Stefan gave Caroline a hug, "Yeah, well, remember who we're dealing with here, Damon the master manipulator, and Bonnie the self-sacrificing sorceress. Damon likes to do things his way, and isn't necessarily prone to looping everyone in on what he has going on. And Bonnie... Bonnie is all about secrets."

Caroline opened her mouth to debate Stefan's estimation of her best friend.

"Before you disagree with me, think about it; she's normally motivated by a desire to help her friends, but still, she's one of the most secretive of all of us."

Caroline shrugged in reluctant agreement.

They lay in silence for a while, Caroline running her finger along Stefan's bare chest, Stefan running his hand through her hair. Suddenly, lifting her head, she looked at Stefan – a teasing grin on her face. "I bet the sex is good."

"The...oh! C'mon..., 'ick!' that's my brother you're trying to paint a picture of in my head. "

She wiggled her way up Stefan's body, "Mmm hmmm, your brother AND Bonnie." She dropped a small kiss on Stefan's lips. "Think about it, all of his experience and skill in combination with her limberness and repression..." She kissed him again, her lips lingering a little longer this time. "The sex is probably really, really hot."

Stefan slipped his hand behind his girl's neck, pulling her closer to him. "I'm going to say 'ick' again, and then I'm going to remind you that you and I, from time to time, have had some pretty spectacularly hot sex."

Caroline teased, "Really? You and I, huh? Hot sex?" She gave a mock pout, "Yeah, hmm, my memory of this 'hot sex' thing is kind of fuzzy."

Stefan flipped them over so that he was hovering over her, "I guess I'm going to have to do my best to spark that memory of yours."

She giggled, "You might have to spark it a couple of times... just to be sure the memory really sticks."

He sighed, "A man has to do, what a man has to do."
