Dancing Without Thought

Wine and Ice

I groaned feeling slightly sore but loving every moment with Damon. He sure knew how to give a girl a good time. I stretched and  smiled, seeing Damon in his bathroom, turning the water for his tub on. I want to just slide in now. Actually ever since I first saw the tub I wanted in-with him. I walked over.
"Hey." I said, slightly brushing his back with my fingers.
"Hey, sleepy head." He had turned and I want to scream. He was gorguos as normal but it seemed he had just gotten so much more good looking. How the hell did he do it??
He looked at me for a second and wrapped me in a hug. I hugged back loving the feeling of his arms around me. He was slightly cooler than me and I shivered slightly but not wanting to let go. He moved back.
"I'm sorry baby. The water will be done soon."
"Its not that. You're just slightly cooler than me. And honestly I love it."
He smiled. A true smile, the type that would have most girl, including me, melting to the floor. I just snuggled deeper into his chest. Truly happy for once since so many people I cared about had died. A lot just because I got involved with Stefan and the supernatural relm.
"Shhh..., baby, its okay." I hear Damon slightly coo to me. It's wasn't until now that I relized I was crying. All those people would be alive if it wasnt for me...
"Oh... sweetie that's not true." Damon said, gently taking me out of his chest to look me in the eyes. I look at his gentle eyes and just start crying harder. So much had happened and here I was just having fun and sex and being with the one I love. How is that even fair? Jeremy didn't have a aunt or parents because of me. Stupid hammered teenage me.

"Shh. Baby. Its all fine. And nothing was ever your fault. Things happen. Life is messy and unpredictable. Things just happen." Damon tried explaining.
He stepped away for a second and I wanted to be right back into his arms.

He turned around and grabbed my hands. Kissing the top, like a gentlemen. He flipped my hand over tracing my lines in my palms. I shivered slightly. How could this man in a single touch make me feel so much? Make me alive with love and caring. I wanted to stay here forever forget everything else. The water was finally ready, and so I stepped in. Sighing at the gentle heat of the bath and gentle hands of Damon rubbing my back. I leaned back into his chest, loving the feel of him around me. His arms the perfect solution to all my worries.

*Damon's POV*

My mind worked circles around what Elena was blaming herself for. Most of which wasn't her fault. I seriously wish I could change her mind on that.
I could feel her body against my chest. The bath water was warmer then I had intended it to be. I turned to the side slightly and grabbed the wine I always kept in the cabinet next to the tub. But this wine was different. It's was a special 1960's edition. Aged wine was the best and I saved the best wine for the best person....
Ok, eww. Even for me that was cringe worthy.
I popped the cork. Sitting it down while I let it breathe. Elena had her head on the spot where my heart was. Sighing, I slid my hands around her waiste. I knew we would stay like this for a while.i
After a little while of letting the wine breathe, I poured a glass for Elena then me. And I let the wine and bath work it's magic on Elena.
