When Elena finally turned around, she found him leaning against the wall near the entrance, watching her through half-lowered lashes. Elena ignored the feeling his gaze stirred in her. Was it apprehension, or anticipation? Sometimes, with Damon, she wasn't entirely sure there was a difference.
"Make yourself at home," she said, gesturing toward the sofa as she turned toward the kitchen to make herself some tea.
While the water heated, she added, "I'd offer you something to drink, but I don't have any dark magic wine."
Damon's eyes widened for an instant at the words, and then a cold half-smile appeared on his face.
"I can think of a few other things I'd be interested in drinking," he said, his voice a silky murmur. "If you're offering."
As she reached into the cabinet for the tea, Elena smiled despite herself. This was more like the Damon she remembered. They had played this game countless times before, and it was infinitely easier than the silence.
"I'd let you bite me if you let me kiss you first."
