When Did Damon Fall In Love With Elena Novels & Stories

He didn’t answer. Because both of us knew what was true.” He would have never set me free. And then there was silence between us, heavy with things unsaid. Then Damian leaned in even farther and lowered his voice. “Elena”, he says, “he deserves to know me. My throat tightened. “And when you’re bored of playing father, what do you do?” His eyes flashed. “I do not tire of what is mine, Sete.”

"Mr. Damian, how long have you two been secretly seeing each other." Damian cleared his throat aloud, "Not too long. Elena and I were childhood friends, but even at that, I always admired and looked up to her for years. She's just everything a man would need in a lady, and I'll continue to admire her till the very end." He leaned closer and kissed my forehead while I smiled at him. "Now to answer the man questioned, Elena and I started seeing each other a few months back. We decided to keep it a secret from everyone just for personal reasons, but not anymore. It's best if everyone knows and admires our love for each other."

I asked coldly. "It took me two years to find the courage to come to you," Damien said, his eyes full of guilt and longing. "Elena, listen to me. What happened with Sarah... it was just pity. I never really loved her. It’s only ever been you." Cade frowned and stepped in front of me. "Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to back away from Elena." Damien stared at Cade, his eyes burning with envy and fury. "Who are you?" he practically roared. "What gives you the right to get between me and Elena?"

Tonight, she called them with nothing but a look. Damon came first, wolf-quick, a hurricane wrapped in laughter. He caught her at the base of the ancient altar stone, mouthed hot, wet kisses up her thigh, his tongue seeking the seam of need she’d worn all day. He teased at her entrance, dragging out noises she almost resented him for, then drove fingers into her, thumb circling the ache of her clit until she shuddered. When she came, Elena bit his shoulder hard enough to taste the promise of blood.

And suddenly all the walls disappeared completely. No billionaire. No monster. No coldness. Just a man hopelessly in love. His trembling fingers brushed softly against her cheek. And finally— Finally— Damien said the words he had feared for so long. “I love you.” Elena’s heart shattered open. Tears streamed endlessly down her face as she held him tighter. “I love you too,” she cried desperately. “So please don’t leave me.” Damien gave the faintest smile. The softest smile she had ever seen from him.

His eyes landed on Victoria instantly. She immediately slipped her arm around Damian’s possessively.. as he placed a kiss on her forehead. “I have missed you.” Elena looked at them standing together beneath the mansion lights. They looked perfect like the ending everyone always expected. She understood one devastating truth. She had never been Damian Lancaster’s first choice. She is only a temporary mistake standing between him and the woman he actually wanted. Elena stepped back, got into the car and shut the door. The driver pulled away immediately.

Instead, he said, “You know I love you. You know, I have never wanted to be in a relationship with anyone until I found you, until I met you. And you know just how deep my commitment to you is.” Elena’s sweet smile deepened, her eyes drinking in every word. “And you know,” Damien added, pressing the final nail in, “that I would never, never, ever....cheat on you, darling.” There were cheers then, cheers and clapping, like he had just performed some grand act of loyalty. The girls cooed and oohed, voices dripping with envy and adoration. “I knew, darling,” Elena said, loud enough for everyone to hear, as if she weren’t the same girl who had just accused me of sleeping with her boyfriend. And

Late that same evening, Elena found Damian on their private terrace — the same terrace, she realized with a pang of old memory, where he'd once confessed his love for her nineteen years earlier, moments before everything had exploded into violence. "You're thinking about that night," she said, joining him at the railing. "I can tell."

Dominic might not love me, but he tolerated me because of Nora. His grandfather also insisted on the engagement, which made things easier for me. But Elena’s sudden appearance was changing everything. And Dominic was beginning to notice too much. I quickly grabbed my handbag from the bed and stormed out of the room without bothering to calm down first. The entire drive to my mother’s house felt unbearable. My thoughts spiraled endlessly while I replayed every interaction between Dominic and Elena since she entered the mansion. The way he defended her at dinner. The way his eyes constantly followed her, and the way Nora immediately became attached to her.

Seven years of having complete control over me had vanished in a single afternoon, and he couldn't take it. ​"Elena!" Damian barked, trying to sound as commanding as he always did, but his voice shook. "Stop playing around! Do you think you can just run to another man the second we sign a paper? Is this why you were acting so quiet these past five days? Were you seeing him behind my back?!" ​I stepped around Carter, coming right to the edge of the top step so I could look Damian straight in the eye.
