The Vampire Diaries, Caroline/Damon, necklace.
He strokes the necklace around her neck, as she lies next to him in bed. She’s wide awake, her mind is lucid and she can feel the danger pouring out of him. She shivers with every stroke of his hands, his fingers. They dance around her shoulder, feather-lightly.
Her breathing accelerates, her beating does too. The panic suddenly becomes too much to bear and she recoils from his touch. She turns away from him and whimpers; her hand flies to her neck, as she remembers his teeth there.
And after a moment that lucid moment disappears, and her world and thoughts are in a haze again. He smiles down at her, and she melts. She can feel her heart beat faster, and she has no doubt that it is because of him. And as she prepares to sleep, she snuggles closer to him, smiling when she feels him stroke her shoulders.
