Going home with Rebekah was never part of the plan. Actually, seeing Rebekah a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and so on times had never been part of the plan, either. One night to mourn all they'd lost and then go their own ways in a truce of silence that sliced anyway. But then he'd taken her home and, for some reason, asked her to stay. So, ( Read more... )

Damon had closed the bar for the night. No offense to anyone who wanted to get their Valentine's Day rocks off by being vamp bait, but they'd have to do it Friday night. Tonight, he had different plans, and they did not include either him or his assistant manager being at work. He hadn't really known how to arrange the time, honestly. Inviting at ( Read more... )
