Damon kissed Elena with as much passion as he could muster.

The kiss was heated and somewhat desperate. But Damon knew that this was something that wouldn't happen as frequently as he desired, so he wanted to make it as memorable as possible. If a vampire could freeze time, Damon would have frozen it in that very moment.

To his delight, Elena's passion matched his own. She kissed him back with equal desperation. He didn't let that fact get his hopes up though, since she still loved his brother.

Thoughts of Elena with Stefan quickly evaporated when Elena's fingers knotted themselves into his hair, pulling him closer.

He loved that they were both vampires, so they'd never have to stop their heated kiss to breathe.

Damon took another step closer to her, and there was no space left between them.

He could be as close as humanly possible, but that was still never close enough.

When she finally ended their kiss, the look in her eyes said everything she couldn't.

And that was enough for him, for now anyway.
