Elena's twin sister, Ember, (younger by 12 minutes) Is the responsible, levelheaded sister. Shy and bookish, she is very close to their younger brother Jeremy. And despite what everyone else and her common sense say she can't help but love Damon Sal...
At the Salvatore Boarding House Damon is laying in bed shirtless watching Ember flutter around getting ready.
"So where are Stefan and Elena going?" He asks.
"My family's lake house. It's beautiful up there." She responds trying to choose between two dresses.
"And when do we get to escape to a cozy cabin in the woods for a romantic getaway?" He asks eyeing her in the way that makes her feel tingly and adored. "I'm picturing a blanket of snow, hot toddies, having my way with you on a bear skin rung in front of a roaring fire."
Ember can feel her cheeks warm up from the blush and sends Damon a look but he just smirks at her. "There are no bear skin rugs at the lake house." She tells him.
He shrugs. "I'll figure something out." He assures her with a grin and rolls out of bed to walk across the room to her. The low slung silk pajama pants he is wearing have her completely distracted.
He stands behind her at the mirror and looks at the two dresses she is holding up. "Hmmmm." He considers them both and her then drops a warm kiss on her shoulder. "I like the white one." He whispers and kisses a path up her neck to her ear and kisses and nibbles on the sensitive spot below.

"So what is this snooty shindig you're going to?" He asks softly as his hand spans her lower stomach, pressing against the ache that has started there and pulling her back in to him where she can feel how hard he is, and she can't stop the little sigh as she reluctantly tells him.
"It's the Historical Society's High Tea at the Lockwood's and I can't miss it." She turns around in his arms and kisses him softly. "Jenna will kill me if I miss, and the whole thing is for Elijah, to 'introduce' him to Mystic Falls, it will be a good opportunity to find out more about him." She tells him.
"I don't want you anywhere near him." Damon insists and tries to slip the strap of her slip and bra down, but she steps backwards to escape with a smile.
"And I appreciate the overprotective boyfriend vibe, but I don't think I'm in any danger in a room full of society matrons." She giggles at his expression. "You'll appreciate this. Apparently, the name he gave Carol Lockwood was 'Elijah Smith.'"
"Smith. He's using Smith?" Damon looks disgusted and Ember takes the opportunity of him being distracted to slip into the white dress he had picked out. "Hmmmm, I was right, looks amazing on you." He watches her grab the matching shoes. "Maybe I'll stop by, officially introduce myself to our friendly neighborhood original."
Ember gives him a look as she applies some lip gloss and mascara. "Play nice! No antagonizing him! El and I are working a long game here and openly fighting with him instead of using his protection means we have to watch our back from more angles."
"I promise, best behavior." He grins and follows her downstairs as she gets ready to leave. "Have a great day, honey." He whispers against her lips at the front door as he kisses her softy. They pull apart and Em walks out the front door, acknowledging Alaric who has just arrived.
