Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries. I'm just borrowing. The story is the only thing I own. If did own the Vampire Diaries, Damon and Elena would be together.

Note: Yeah, I know I'm behind on the updates for "Cat and Mouse," but I was busy with other writings and real life stuff. But, because I have a moment now, I'm going to go ahead with the update. Thank you for the wonderful reviews. You guys rock! When we last left everyone, Elena gets Alaric Saltzman, the District Attorney, to drop the charges against Damon. No spoilers, except the action takes place that evening.

That Evening...

A wine bottle and two glasses filled half way up with wine rested near the tub as Damon and Elena shared a bubble bath, enjoying his freedom together. Damon held Elena close to him, kissing her lips and then moving down to her neck, reaching down and playing with her clit under the water. Elena moaned and then let out a scream of pleasure as she felt what he was doing to her. The things that man could do to her body was unbelievable and it made her smile knowing that they finally got to be together, without having to worry about him being on the run all the time. Of course, she would still have to work, and she was going to go back to the Special Victims Unit starting next week.

Damon chuckled against her neck. "I'm going to love hearing you scream for me, amore mia."

Elena panted and trembled. "And I'm going to love hearing you saying things to me in Italian." She sighed. "Oh God, Damon, I love you so much."

Damon licked his lips as he then got an idea, removing his fingers from her clit and straddling her onto his lap, his cock impaling her. "Ride me, Elena. Grind yourself against me, set me free. Only you can make me really feel free. Do it, love, send me to a new high."

Elena licked her lips as well and kissed him as she gyrated her hips against Damon's hips, moving her hands up to run her fingers through his damp hair, one arm wrapping itself around his neck. Damon returned her kiss and let his hands roam all over her body, exploring her every curve as he kept in time with her gyrations with his thrusts. He felt free, even more than he did a few hours ago.

He pulled away from her lips and let out a pleasurable scream of his own. Damn, she worked wonders on him and he thanked God that he had such a wonderful woman like her in his life after all the shit he went through with Klaus.

Elena smiled and kissed his neck, whispering against it, "You like that?"

Damon panted, the effects of that last orgasm causing him to convulse slightly. "Like it? I love it! You're amazing, Elena!"

Elena laughed and kissed his neck again. "Oh, I don't want to take all the credit. You're pretty amazing yourself."

That being said, she gyrated even harder and faster, feeling a wave of wave flowing through her body like an electric current. She didn't know how she ever got by before she met Damon. True, she had a few dates with a few of the young men in the Special Victims Unit, but they didn't have the kind of appeal that Damon did. No, Damon was special, and she would never let him go, not for anything. He deserved to be loved and she would love him as fiercely as possible.

It didn't take long before Elena threw her head back and screamed out in pleasure again, the heat rising faster than she ever imagined. She knew that Damon was making her feel like this and if it took the rest of her life, she'd be more than willing to express her gratitude.

2 Hours Later...

Damon spooned up behind Elena, kissing her shoulder. They had gotten out of the tub when the water in the tub got colder and continued their play in Elena's bed. Elena entwined her fingers with his and sighed happily.

"There's a never dull moment with you, is there?"

Damon ran his fingers through her hair, kissing her shoulder again. "No, definitely not. I never knew freedom would feel this good and it's even better because I have you to share it with."

Elena then detected that his voice sounded a bit more serious at the end of that last statement and turned slightly to look at him. "Are you okay? You sounded different just then."

Damon sighed. "I'd be lying if I said yes. The thing is, I don't have a home anymore. I lost that when Klaus kidnapped me. And, because I've been gone for so long, my family thinks I'm dead. I wouldn't be surprised if they've planned my funeral already."

"If you want, I can help you get in contact with them," said Elena. "I'm a detective and I help people find loved ones all the time."

Damon smiled. "You don't have to do that."

"I want to," said Elena. "I want you to be happy, Damon. I love you." She turned to face him, kissing him softly. "You've done so much for me, and I want to do something for you. I know that I already helped you get your freedom back, but maybe I can help you get your family back too, and maybe I can meet them in the process."

"You're too good to me, Elena," said Damon, returning her kiss. "I don't know what I did to deserve you." He kissed her again. "Well, if this is what you want to do, then I won't stop you. You really are my angel."

Elena smiled and kissed him again. She honestly didn't know how she was going to find Damon's family, let alone contact them, but for the man she loved, she would do anything.

Note: Better late than never, huh? I tell you, I had to rewrite this chapter several times before it was up to par. It was kicking my ass. But, I finally was able to get it to where I wanted it. Will Elena be able to help Damon find his family? And what will she learn about her lover in the process of her search? Find out in the next thrilling installment of "Cat and Mouse"!

ENJOY THE UPDATE AND REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
