It was so familiar, the feel of his lips against hers. Familiar and comforting, both. And, though they hadn't kissed in the dream they had been close enough that she had been left wanting more. Even if her dream self had been confused and guilty at Stefan's return.
She should have known it was coming, but her eyelashes still fluttered slightly before sliding shut, Elena leaning into the kiss. That hadn't been the reason behind her going to see him but now that it had happened, she found herself unable to resist.
The kiss deepened a moment before it ended, Elena not pulling away though dark eyes slid open to look up at Damon, so close to her. Cheeks flushed, a familiar longing building within. Even if Caroline had warned her against becoming involved with him once again, it was like a moth to the flame. She couldn't help herself.
"I missed you," she confessed, almost whispering the words. Even after everything that had happened between them, she had missed this, missed him, missed having that connection and spark.
