Forever

Tensed Up

"Owwwww!" I screamed. I woke up to Damon bent over me, removing bullets from my exposed and bloodied chest. "Owww, stop that hurts!"

He broke into sudden laughter. "Of course it hurts! I'm pulling bullets from your beautiful flesh." He gently stroked my non-bloodied skin.

I scanned the room. Jim was no where in sight. I tensed up as I became worried.

"Why you so tense baby? It makes it harder to take these suckers out of you." He gently massaged anywhere he could trying to get me to relax.

"Stop. Stop touching me. Now." I threatened.

"Yeah, cause what are you gonna do, sweat pea? You can't move, you're tied down with vervain ropes and the bullets will go deeper if you try to move. So just relax." He kissed my stomach and started to massage harder.

"Where is my boyfriend? And I said stop touching me, now." I was getting more and more tense with each grope.

"Which one do you mean?" Damon smirked. "They're both in the next room over. My little brother is weaning Jim off the human blood he ingested last night. If it were up to me, you guys would both be on a strict human diet."

"Jim!!!" I yelled.

He came stumbling in.

"Babe! You're finally awake!" He kissed me softly. 

"Yeah, well Damon's been massaging my bullet holes to the best of his ability." I gave Jim a look that said it all.

"Ohhkay. Damon, how many more bullets do you have to pull?" He asked nervously. 

"I'm actually done." He patted my barely covered chest, to my disgust, and showed Jim and Stefan the six bullets he extracted. "They were all wood. Lets just be happy that none of them hit here." He touched my chest again.

"Damon, quit it now and untie these damn ropes." I was furious at the fact that he kept touching me. "If you touch me one more time, I'm going to snap."

"Yeah man, come on, quit touching my girl." Jim protested.

"Fine, fine. Now go and relax." He released me from the vervain ropes and Stefan made some awkward eye contact with me before Jim and I headed home.
