A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 37 - What about us?

Elena's P.O.V.

I didn't want to stop. Even if I wanted to, I don't think I would have been able to. I had been thinking of a night like this for months. I had been thinking about being pinned under him as our lips were locked. It was as if he couldn't pull away.

"Damon..." I moaned as his lips moved to attach to the sensitive spot on my neck. I could feel him smirk as he continued to kiss my skin, nipping at it with his teeth occasionally.

I grabbed his hair a minute later, needing to kiss him again. I pushed my lips against his in a passionate manner. His hands wrapped around my waist and I gasped as he pulled us both up farther on the bed. I threw my head back onto the pillows as we continued to kiss and found my hands travelling to the bottom of his shirt. Once I grabbed onto it, my hands stopped.

I pulled away from the kiss and looked up at him, taking deep breaths. He looked back down at me and I felt myself getting lost in his eyes.

"What are we doing, Elena?" he asked. I almost groaned at how rough his voice sounded.

I licked my lips and shook my head. I didn't know. I couldn't give him an answer.

"I need an answer," he continued to speak.

"I can't give you one," I whispered. I turned my head away from his intense gaze, finding it hard to breath. As I looked at the wall, I felt his hand touch my cheek gently. I turned back to look at him as he stroked my cheek with his thumb.

He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine in a way he never had before. It was soft and brief. It was a kiss you wouldn't expect from him. My eyes fluttered shut and only opened moments later when I heard him chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked him.

"You," Damon grinned.

"What did I do?" I suddenly started to feel embarrassed.

"Nothing, except for look insanely adorable."

I blushed as I looked up at him and felt the corners of my lips turn upwards. I leaned up a little to brush my lips against his, just like he had done to me moments ago. He slid his hand to the back of my neck so I couldn't pull away as he deepened the kiss. His tongue slid along my lower lip and I moaned. We were back into kissing heatedly, his hands tangled in my hair while my hands gripped at his shirt.

"Take it off. I know you want to," Damon smirked as he continued to kiss me.

I rolled my eyes and pulled away to rip his shirt over his head. I tossed it to the side and stared at his chest for a moment, desire filling my entire body. I looked up to see him smirking still.

"Like what you see?" Damon asked.

I pushed him gently and he laughed as he grabbed my wrists in his hands gently. He tugged me up against his bare chest and continued to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I smiled, allowing him to press me into the bed again.

"You have way too many clothes on," he muttered.

"I think I'm good," I said in a teasing voice.

"I disagree," Damon whispered in my ear. His hands inched down towards the end of my shirt and I held my breath as he pulled the shirt up slowly. He pulled it up but stopped suddenly. I pulled away from the kiss as Lily started to scream in her cradle. I pushed Damon off, jumping off the bed as I pulled my shirt back down.

"Alright, Lily," I sighed. I pushed my hair out of the way as I bent down to pick her up.

"I'll get her bottle," Damon said.
