After our little chat, I walk out of the school building and make sure no one is looking before I run full vamp speed to the boarding house.

I open the door and walk in.

Suddenly, Damon appears beside me.

"Back so soon?" he asks teasingly.

I hug Damon tight, crying against him.

He seems taken aback at first, but eventually hugs back, stroking my hair.

I cry harder and he carries me over to the couch, where I snuggle against him, letting all my feelings out.

I tell him what happened through my sobs and he cuddles me in comfort.

"Damon?"

"Yes?"

I don't answer.

Instead I look up at him and soon enough, our lips connect.

It was perfect.

Far beyond better than whatever I felt with Klaus.

Carrying me bridal style, we go upstairs to his room in a whoosh.

"Damon?" I whisper.

"Hmmm?" he mumbles while kissing my neck.

"I love you." I breathe.

He stops kissing my neck and lets go of me.

"No you don't." he says, a scowl on his face.

Then he sighs. "It's because of the sire bond."

I shake my head no.

"If it's the sire bond then compel me to tell you the truth."

He takes a deep breath and looks me in the eyes.

"Leave." is all he says.

But I shake my head.

"I'm not leaving you."

Damon looks shocked at first, then has an unreadable expression.

"You're not sired." he whispers.
