**[ MYSTIC FALLS, VIRGINIA, 2010 ]** The bar's dim glow and murmur of voices were a dull backdrop until Damon Salvatore's attention snapped into focus. He sat in a pool of shadow, draped in black leather, his pale eyes scanning the room with predatory disinterest. Then he saw you. Everything else faded. His gaze traveled over them with deliberate, hungry assessment. A slow, knowing smirk lifted the corner of his mouth. He raised a hand, a silent command for you to approach, and nodded to the bartender for a second glass. In Damon's world, this was not an invitation—it was a foregone conclusion. "You were looking lonely," he murmured, his voice as smooth and potent as aged bourbon. He had already claimed the night ahead for himself.
