I Will Make You Mine

Chapter 4: Day Trip

     Damon watched Cassie as she came around the corner of the building then freeze when she spotted him. He admired the way she met his gaze with her own firm one before continuing forward. As she drew closer she stopped several feet away from him. When he could resist no longer, he gave her a one sided arrogant smirk which only made Cassie narrow her eyes.

     "So what? Are you stalking me now?" She questioned.

     Damon admired her for her forthrightness. Not many dared to stand up to him, but she did. Even when she had been faced with the mind blowing revelation that not only did vampires exist and that Elena was dating one, but also with his revelation that he wanted to make her his, Cassie had handled it extremely well. He doubted whether she understood the full importance of his statement that he wanted her, but they all soon would be reminded of just how determined he could be when he set his mind on something. And he had set his mind as well as his heart, despite the short amount of time knowing Cassie, solely on her.

    He could sense though that she wasn't sure about him yet. Nether the less, he would get the point across and enjoy it in the process. Damon enjoyed teasing her to see how she would react to things so he shrugged his shoulders.

    "Maybe I am." He replied, widening his eyes for effect.

    "Just so you know, that comes across as creepy." Cassie pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows briefly.

    Damon just laughed which obviously didn't really help Cassie's mood any. "As a vampire, creepy is natural but," He stood and took a few intimidating steps toward her. "I can come across as more than that. Care to find out what other things I may be?"

     Cassie stared back into his deep blue eyes where mystery, power, cunning, intelligence, amusement and interest swirled like a rolling storm. It was easy to discern that the arrogance he possessed showed that he didn't even take in the possibility that she would decline. Damon was use to getting what he wanted apparently but Cassie felt determined to keep out of whatever he was planning and away from him as much as she could. As far as Cassie could tell, even though Damon was the most attractive guy she had ever seen, there was no doubt that danger followed him wherever he went. Something which Cassie had no desire to be dragged into.

     "You don't think I'll say no." She stated while watching his handsome face for his reaction.

     Damon took another step forward so he was closer. "You won't say no."

    Cassie rolled her eyes. "What makes you so confident that you can succeed in whatever plans you have concocted that include me?"

     Damon purposefully walked around her to pause while he was immediately behind her and whisper in her ear. "I've had centuries to figure out ways to get what I want. When it includes females, I find seduction is the greatest weapon. You can bet that I'll find a way to your heart."

     Cassie took a step forward and whirled about to face him. However he wasn't there any longer. He was gone as if he had never been there in the first place. At that moment Cassie saw Bonnie coming towards her with a concerned and aggravated expression.

     "Do you know who that was that was bothering you?" Bonnie asked a bit huffily.

     Cassie slowly nodded her head. "Yeah...I met him yesterday. We went out on a date last night...or a semi date..."

     Bonnie groaned. "No Cassie you can't do that! Does Elena know this?"

     "She found out about the date right before he picked me up from my house yesterday. Why?" Cassie's expression was curious and a bit puzzled.
