There is a tiny bit of smut in this one but next one there will be more. this chapter just kind of walked away from me, we learn a bit about Damon's past and get more family time. Let me know what you think.
Day three of the honeymoon slash family camping trip and the kids were sitting in chairs bored out of their minds.
"I'm bored." Aiden whined.
"Go jump off a cliff." Damon muttered after hearing that for the past two hours.
"Oh great dad. Tell me to jump off a cliff. Great parenting." Aiden muttered.
"It is great parenting. I am an excellent father." Damon stated laying back on his hammock with his eyes closed.
"I'm bored. Mr excellent father what am I supposed to do?" Aiden demanded shielding his eyes from the sun.
"I already suggested something. Go jump off a cliff." Damon said.
"When are mom and Aurora getting back. I don't exactly feel safe here with you?" Aiden asked.
"Whenever they are done showering and getting ready." Damon said.
"How long will that take?" Aiden asked aware he was annoying his dad.
"Good lord boy shut up. You are going to make me prematurely grey." Damon shouted.
"It's not premature when you are over a century old." Aiden muttered.
"You know you can mutter like that but I can still hear you." Damon told him.
"Maybe I wanted to hear you. You're not very bright are you dad?" Aiden asked.
"Shut up boy. Why didn't you go with your mom and Aurora, at least then I'd have peace and quiet?" he asked.
"Because when you look like this, grooming is not necessary, and because I showered last night." he said.
"Arrogant jackass." Damon muttered loud enough for Aiden to hear.
"I heard that." Aiden called.
"I know. I like Aurora so much more." he muttered laying his head back on the hammock.
"That's nice. Choosing favourites. A-plus parenting skills dad." Aiden stated with his sunglasses pulled down over her his head.
"Oh thank God, I hear the car." Damon said getting up off the hammock just as the SUV parked.
"How was boy time?" Elena asked getting out of the car and walking over to her husband.
"Oh dad only threatened me half a dozen times and blatantly chose Aurora over me. I'd say it was a success." Aiden stated smirking at his dad.
"That sounds... interesting." Elena said staring at Damon with her eyebrows raised.
"If he wasn't so annoying then there wouldn't have been a problem. He's sixteen years old, he should be able to occupy himself for an hour." Damon said glaring at the boy.
"How did you threaten him this time?" she asked amusement apparent in her voice.
" I told him to go jump off a cliff a few times, then I offered to send him over for him." he said smirking.
"Very clever. So what do we want to do today?" she asked smiling at her family.
"I know what I want to do. After all it is our honeymoon." he whispered in her ear before gently nibbling on the lobe.
"I want to go fishing." Aiden shouted out.
"That sounds fun." Aurora agreed.
"Tell me dad, have you ever fished before?" Aiden asked smirking.
"No I have not but I could still kick your ass at it. I am better than you in every way." Damon said cockily.
"Care to make a wager?" Aiden asked.
"No. That would be hardly fair. Your mother wouldn't like it if I took you for everything you own in a bet such as this." he said.
"Wuss." Aiden said.
"I am not a wuss. I am exercising good parenting and not taking your money. Therefore no bet." he said turning away from Aiden.
"Wuss." he said again.
"Jackass." Damon argued back.
"Stop it. Lets go fishing and then we can fight about what to do next." Elena suggested.
"Yes, and maybe I will find a cliff to toss Aiden off of." Damon suggested smirking evilly.
"Stop plotting your sons demise. You will miss him if he was gone." Elena said smacking his shoulder.
"I'm sure I wouldn't. Maybe a few days later when he wasn't bugging me anymore. But not right now." Damon stated.
"Let's just go." Elena said as she and Aurora walked into the woods as Aiden grabbed his fishing rod. He was the only one in the family who actually liked fishing, so this outing was mostly for him.
"So where are we heading?" Aiden asked.
"Somewhere with a big cliff." Damon suggested.
"No. We'll go to the lake." Elena said.
"You ruin all my fun." Damon muttered as he walked hand in hand with his wife towards the fish filled lake.
When they were finally at the lake Aiden cast his rod out and sat down on a rock while he waited for a bite. After sitting for a while without a bite he pulled the line back and rebated it.
"I bet I would have caught a fish by now." Damon scoffed.
"I dare you dad." Aiden stated his eyebrows raising imperceptibly as he waited to see if his dad would take him up on his challenge.
"Fine. How hard can it be?" he asked getting up and taking the rod from his son. "I have superior reflexes and lightning fast quickness, this will be easy." he said easily baiting the hook.
"You do realize you still have to cast it right dad?" Aiden asked from beside Aurora on a large rock.
"Yes I realize that." he said sardonically. He flung the rod back and just before he flung the line towards the water the hook caught itself on his ass.
"Ow! God damn fucking son of a bitch. That fucking hurts. Get the fucking thing out of my ass." he yelled ignoring the appalled family of five a little ways away as they taught the youngest boy to cast a line.
"Stop swearing. There is another family over there." Elena scolded her husband when she walked over there.
"I will stop fucking swearing when you get the God dammed fucking hook out of my ass." he stated furiously.
"Why cant you get it out? Your arms reach that far." she asked.
"Because the goddamn hook is lodged in my ass and I just want it out. So pull the fucking think out." he demanded.
"Stop swearing. You're going to scare the family over there." she insisted.
"No what will scare them is when I vamp out because of this. I do not like bleeding my own blood." he snarled.
"Fine." she said yanking the hook out of him.
"Fuck" he snarled but the tiny wound immediately healed up. It was one of those things like a paper cut that hurt so badly when they happened but you were fine moments later.
"Take this useless contraption." Damon said handing the rod back over to Aiden.
"Well, that was a spectacular fail." Aiden said laughing as he recast his line into the water.
"I found a solution for your little issue honey?" Elena said sitting on a rock beside him.
"What little issue?" he asked suspiciously.
"You want to throw our son off a cliff. I found a cliff that I would not object to you doing that to him on." she said.
"Really?" he asked his eyes lit up like Christmas time.
"Yes really. Its a little further away. There is a small freshwater lake there and the cliff is like 8 feet." she said.
"Oooh now I'm excited." he said clapping his hands.
"Excuse me?" a middle aged man asked walking up to them.
"Hello." Elena greeted him with a friendly smile on her face.
"I just wanted to ask that you please keep your language to yourselves. I have young children over there who were scared of your outburst." he said.
"I'm sorry about that. My husband just got hooked with the fishing rod." she explained smiling graciously at the man.
"I do know how that feels. My little guy has hooked me several times in the past four days. I haven't been able to sit comfortably since the first one." he said laughing.
"Well he'll get over it." she said shooting a glance at Damon who was still seated excitedly on the rock. No doubt playing images of him throwing Aiden off a cliff over and over again.
"I'm Mark Thompson. Please to meet you... " he said holding out his hand to shake.
"Elena Salvatore. This is my husband Damon and that is Aiden and Aurora." she said.
"Damon Salvatore?" Mark asked staring at Damon with a confused expression on his face.
"Yes." Damon answered turning to face him.
"You should be dead." the man said confused.
"I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about." Elena said looking curiously between the man and Damon. Damon looked just as confused as she did.
"One of my ancestors, several "greats" ago grandfather fought in the civil war. There is a young man in the picture who looks exactly like you and has the name Damon Salvatore." he said confused. Elena's head snapped back towards Damon worried, but his expression was calm.
"What do you want me to say? That I fought in the civil war?" Damon scoffed questioning the mans sanity.
"I don't know what to think. On one hand its impossible but on another more supernatural way its not." he said scratching his head.
"Supernatural? What do you mean supernatural?" Elena asked going into near panic mode that this guy may guess something.
"I've heard the rumours, and I'm sure you have too. About it being vampires causing all the deaths around town. The two smalls holes in the neck, being drained of blood. Conspiracy theorists are saying vampires have made a reappearance. I know its insane, but I also know that you look exactly the same as my many greats grandfather and you have the same name. Maybe all the conspiracy is true?" he stated.
"You believe in vampires?" Elena asked softly.
"I do." Mark said hopefully. "People though I was crazy. Believing that they exist. But I know they do" he said all his hopes and fears evident in his eyes. Elena looked behind her at Damon who shrugged his shoulders. She looked over at Aiden and Aurora who were still fishing.
"What do you want to know?" Elena asked. Damon nodded and moved to sit next to Elena intent on helping her answer questions.
"So vampires are real I'm assuming?" he asked.
"Yes." Elena answered.
"Are you and Damon vampires?" he asked.
"Yes." Elena answered.
"What about them?" he asked about Aiden and Aurora.
"Human. They're our children." she said smiling adoringly at them.
"Vampires can procreate?" he asked.
"No. I was human when they were conceived." she answered.
"Your family allowed you to get involved with a vampire?" Mark asked aghast.
"Not exactly. I walked out and married him in one night. The relationship was secret before then." she answered.
"Can I ask you some questions about my relative?" he asked Damon.
"I suppose. But I admittedly don't remember much from that time of my life. It was what I refer to as BE." he explained.
"BE?" he questioned.
"Before Elena. That time of my life was forgettable. I was still human when I fought in the war." he said.
"His name was Gregory Thompson, do you remember him?" Damon asked.
"Ha yes. He was a good man." Damon answered.
"You knew him." Mark stated, it wasn't a question.
"I did. He had my back and I had his. He told me over and over again to end things with Katherine. We drank a lot together and had a lot of fun. We were both celibate during the battle, I for Katherine and him for his beautiful wife Margaret." he explained.
"How did he die?" Mark asked.
"I wasn't there, and I do regret that. I had left the war because I suspected my brother and Katherine were together behind my back, so I left the war, I got word a few weeks later telling me that he had been killed in an explosion." Damon explained.
"Did you ever regret leaving him by himself?" Mark asked.
" I do. I have every few years went to his grave to bid my respects. He was a good man and one of the few friends that I have ever had." Damon told him.
"It's great to hear about him. I've never really heard anything about him from other members of my family. It was like he never existed. It wasn't until he came across a box of things that was his that I found out about. I want my kids to know our families history." Mark stated.
"I told you all I remember. What is in the box?" Damon asked curiously.
"A picture of you two together and his uniform and other war memorabilia." he explained.
"I would like to see that. All my stuff is long gone. Anything BE is gone." he said.
"I would love to show it to you sometime. Maybe it will bring back more memories of things you could tell me about him. Do you live in or around Richmond?" he asked.
"I live in Mystic Falls. That is where Gregory was buried." Damon explained.
"Maybe I will bring my family out there for a few days. Is there any good motels or anything?" he asked.
"Coincidentally enough my wife and I run the Salvatore Boarding house, you can rent a room or two from us. It's very clean and very old." he said.
"Sounds good. But I better get back. The kids are going to be getting hungry. Thanks for telling me about him, and about vampires." he said standing up.
"Don't tell anyone about the vamp thing. We live a very sheltered lifestyle and I want it to stay that way." Damon ordered.
"My lips are sealed." he said grinning and walking back to his family.
"Why have you never told me about Gregory?" Elena asked.
"BE. Elena. Now lets get back to our honeymoon. I promise its not a big deal, and I really want to throw the brat off a cliff." he said standing up.
"Okay. Let's go." Elena said. Aiden had given up on fishing a few minutes before and stood up eagerly to follow them away from the fishing pond. The walk to the freshwater lake wasn't long and they were there before they knew it.
"Oooh look a cliff. A cliff that your mom said I could throw you off of." Damon said gleefully.
"What about if I just jump off?" Aiden asked.
"I guess that's fine." Damon acquiesced.
"Good." Aiden said as he pulled off his shirt and began climbing the small mountain that was literally nestled in the middle of nowhere. When he got to the top he took a running start and leaped off. When he surfaced he got out of the water.
"That was awesome." Aiden said. For the next couple hours the family played together. They jumped off the cliff and resurfaced before climbing back up again.
"How far away from the camp site is this?" Damon asked as him and Elena were laying side by side on the ground with the midday sun shining brightly down.
"Only about twenty minutes." she said.
"Okay. I think we should retire back to the camp site so I can make love to you. The brats will be okay here by themselves for a while." he suggested.
"Sounds good." Elena said sitting up. She walked over to where the kids were playing in the water. "Your dad and I are going to head back to the campsite. Be back before dinner time." she said.
"Okay have fun." Aiden called after them.
"Oh we will." Damon said smirking widely before taking his wife's hand and leading her away from the lake.
"Aiden, EW. Did you have to mention that?" they heard Aurora shout at Aiden.
"I know, I hate myself." they heard Aiden respond. Damon laughed as they vamp sped back to the campsite.
"Now since we're alone would you object if I asked to take you on the hammock. I was thinking about that when you and Aurora went to shower today." he said.
"We are all alone. I've never had sex outside before." she said.
"Well then lets." he said leading her over to the hammock. Before she sat down he pulled her wet tank top off of and untied her bikini before removing her shorts and swimming bottoms too. When she was completely bare she got onto the hammock and he stripped at vampire speed. He was thankful that they had no neighbours and their campsite was very well hidden. Very private. He took the base of his erection in hand and placed it against her opening. She leaned up and kissed him long and hard until he eased inside her.
"Baby, make it fast." she told him. He grinned a carnal grin down at her before pulling out and slamming back in. She screamed out. He smirked at the effect he had on her and started moving even quicker inside her. He slammed into her at vampire speed and she flourished under his rough treatment. Making love was great but sex was amazing too. Neither of them were better or worse than the other.
"Oh Damon. Oh my God." she screamed as she fought to match his pace. He loved unleashing his vamp side when he was with her. His vampire facade came out and he bit into her neck as he fucked her. She elongated her fangs and bit into him too as they shared blood. The mutual pleasure of sharing their blood caused their orgasms to rake through them as he continued thrusting into her. When he recovered he pulled out and slipped his shorts back on before handing her, her bikini and bottoms.
"Put these on, then meet me in the tent. I want to go again." he said.
