As much as they wanted to they couldn't stay out in the middle of nowhere forever. They had to come home eventually and as sad as it was that day had come way too fast.
"Do we have to go?" Damon asked as he laid on the hammock.
"Sadly yes. I'm sure Bruiser misses Aurora." she said.
"Pfft, Bruiser misses me. He doesn't care about her. I'm the one that likes him." he said.
"Aw, you're finally admitting that you like Bruiser. I'm so happy. Not that it wasn't already obvious." Aurora said teasing her dad.
"Do you want to walk home. I'm pretty sure I have the keys to the car." he said dangling the keys in front of her too fast for her to catch them.
"Not particularly. Besides I am already sunburnt I am ready to go home and sleep in my bed again." she said.
"As am I. My bed." Damon said realizing that the bed was waiting for them at home.
"And you're new acquaintance will be in Mystic Falls in a couple days." Elena reminded him.
"He is not my acquaintance. He is simply someone who is related to a friend of mine from back in the Civil War." he corrected her.
"Whatever you say." Elena said throwing her suitcase in the back of the SUV. When they were all packed up they piled into the car and started the journey home.
"I'm going to miss the peace and quiet out here." Elena sighed laying her head on the window.
"What peace and quiet? Aiden was here. He is the opposite of peaceful or quiet." he retorted.
"Same as you dad." Aiden responded.
"Great comeback kid. Anyways if we want peace and quiet, maybe you and I should come back here sometime. Just the two of us." he said suggestively.
"We'll see." she answered. He smiled and turned back to the road in front of him. When they pulled back into Mystic Falls he drove straight home wanting to get back to his air conditioned house. It was unnaturally hot outside. When he parked the car everyone leaped out and grabbed their bags.
"I'm going to see Lilah." Aiden said.
"No, I'm going to see Lilah." Aurora argued.
"Look she is my girlfriend." Aiden told her ready for a fight.
"She is my best friend. I have known her longer." Aurora argued.
"Doesn't matter. I haven't kissed her since mom and dads wedding. These lips need to be kissed." he stated.
"Then go kiss your ugly lizard. Lilah is my best friend and I haven't seen her in forever." Aurora said standing firm.
"Here is a brilliant plan, why don't you go see her together?" Elena suggested.
"Or why doesn't Lilah come here?" Damon suggested.
"That's a better idea." Aurora agreed.
"Sounds good to me." Aiden agreed.
"Good. Now lets go inside." he said holding the front door open for everyone to walk past. Damon took all the camping equipment to the basement while Elena ventured upstairs to take a shower. When Damon came back upstairs, Lilah was sitting between Aurora and Aiden on the couch trying to listen to both of them talk at the same time.
"Have fun Lilah." Damon said walking up the stairs when he heard the shower running.
"How can you live with them Mr. Salvatore? Listening to them talking and fighting for attention?" she asked shaking her head.
"It's hard. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Who else would live with them if I didn't. I don't think there's anyone on the planet that could tolerate them." he said parsing himself.
"you're probably right." she agreed.
"Now, behave. No fighting, no anything else. I wont be too long. I am going to shower and if there is anything broken when I return there will be hell to pay." he told them.
"Ah dad. Mom is showering." Aiden stated frowning at his dad.
"Exactly." he said grinning as he rushed up the stairs. A chorus of "yucks" and "ew's" sounded through the large room as Damon rushed away.
He walked into the bedroom and shut the door before disrobing. He walked into the bathroom where there was no steam coating the mirrors which symbolized that she was having a cooler shower. Which made sense due to the blistering heat outside. He opened the shower door and slipped in.
"What are you doing? Did I leave you sated and well fucked this morning before we got up?" she asked turning to face him without a shred of modesty.
"You did, but how could I pass up an opportunity such as this?" he asked gesturing to her naked body, all wet and shiny from the water.
"What if I wanted to pass up an opportunity such as that?" she asked gesturing to his naked body.
"I"m sure you didn't. How could you want to? I know I'm hot, all the looks from the single ladies of Mystic Falls kind of demonstrates that fact." he said.
"So modest." she sighed shaking her head.
"I have no reason to be modest. I look hot and I fuck better than anyone on the planet." he told her before gently backing her until her back hit the tiled wall of the shower.
"I cant argue with that." she sighed before his lips found hers. His hands rested on her hips and she grinded them against his erection.
"You are a naughty little minx." he moaned as she grinded on him.
"You started this." she sighed as his length pressed against her clit.
"And I intend on finishing it." he told her before picking her up and wrapping her legs around his waist.
"You better." she warned him before screaming out when he pushed inside her, burying himself to the hilt inside her.
"Fuck." she groaned when he didn't even give her a moment to adjust to his size before he started moving frantically.
"That's what we're doing sweetheart." he groaned as he continued fucking her within an inch of her life.
"Did you hear that?" Aiden stated with a disgusted look on his face.
"What?" Aurora asked absentmindedly while she analyzed her fingernails.
"That scream." he stated dryly.
"I choose to block those noises out. They dot exist. Why are you even listening for them?" she asked staring at her brother.
"Because I'm hoping someday they acquire some level of modest and stop fucking when we're at home. You'd think they would have some standards, but apparently not. Mom is screaming as if dad is torturing her." Aiden said wincing.
"Block it out Aiden. If you ignore it, you wont hear it." she assured him.
"I will try it. Do you want to bet that when they come back downstairs, freshly showered, that dad will be all smug and dad-like while mom will be serene but oddly embarrassed." he wagered.
"That's how they always are. But I really don't want to talk about mom and dad getting laid anymore. Its a more than awkward conversation and its bad enough we have to hear it. But I don't want to talk about it." Aurora stated.
" Well as always that was fantastic." Damon said as he wrapped a towel around his waist.
"You really are quite talented." Elena noted as she brushed through her long brown hair.
"I am. You just cant hold back when it comes to me." he teased her, pulling a pair of jeans out of the closet sans underwear.
"Even after 17 years of marriage you are still adverse so underwear." she noted as she dressed.
"Yes. How many times do I need to tell you this, its easier access for you. There are less clothes for you to remove when you want to play." he told her pulling on a black t shirt and watching Elena finish getting dressed before they went downstairs to the critical gazes of their children and Lilah.
A few days later Damon was sitting on the couch with Bruiser when the phone started ringing.
"Salvatore residence." he answered the phone politely, his roots still evident after all these years.
"Damon? It's Mark Thompson. My family and I are just pulling into Mystic Falls. I'm sorry I didn't give you anymore warning." he said.
"Its fine. I just have to wait for my wife to get home, then we'll meet you at the boarding house. Do you know how to find it?" he asked.
"Yes, I typed the address you gave me in my GPS." he told him.
"Good. I'll see you there in about half an hour. Did you bring the civil war items?" he asked.
"Yes. I will show you them either later on, or whenever you want." he told him.
"Why don't you get settled in at the boarding house. My wife is in this big entertaining phase right now for reasons I don't know, but why don't you and the family come over to my house for dinner." Damon suggested
"That sounds good. I guess I'll see you soon." Mark said hanging up the phone. Damon hung up and went back to stroking the quickly growing feline.
After they had Mark and his family settled in at the boarding house, Damon and Elena led them back to their house for dinner Elena was excited knowing that she had company to entertain that wasn't the people that usually came over.
"Do you want some wine?" she asked.
"Sure." Mark said. His wife nodded and Elena handed them both a glass of expensive red wine.
"Can I have some?" Aiden asked.
"No chance in hell. You are not drinking until you are of age. I am not having a drunk teenager in my house." Elena told him glaring.
"Kidding mom. Calm down." Aiden said. She took a deep breath and sat down across from her husband who looked at her with humour in his expression.
"Do you want to see the items later or now?" Mark asked Damon.
"How about after dinner while Aiden is cleaning up the dinner mess." Damon said smirking at his son.
"What? Dad! What did I do to deserve this? I hate dishes." he whined.
"You scared your mom. She would have been the first vamp to have a heart attack." he said.
"I'm sorry mom. Don't make me do dishes please." he begged.
"Don't beg. My son does not beg. Just do as your told." Damon stated. How he loved disciplining his kids. It was so much fun to show them who was boss now and Mark asked.
"When we were not in battle then yes we had lots of fun. But in battle we had each others back. The one time I didn't have his back he was killed. I have never regretted something so badly in my life. I wish I had been a vampire back then, at least then I could have fed him my blood and would have come back as a vampire." Damon mused. Mark nodded as Damon pulled out another photo.
"He kept this photo in his breast pocket all the time. The only time he ever pulled it out was when he was laying down to sleep. It was the love of his life Margaret. He told me all the time that if I didn't have a love like he had with Margaret, then it wasn't worth it. I was young, 24 and in lust with a woman named Katherine. As much as I wanted to believe that it was love it wasn't. He loved Margaret so much, she was the reason he woke up each morning and continued fighting. He told me he would have walked away in a moment if he didn't have Margaret. Margaret was pregnant with their first child when I met Gregory. She was pregnant with their second child when he was killed. Gregory told me so many times to give up on Katherine because I knew she was with me and my brother Stefan at the same time. I should've listened to him sooner, although if I had I don't know where I would be right now. But I can tell you this much, Gregory would approve of Elena, so I did him proud in my quest to find a woman who loved me." he told him.
"Do you ever miss him?" Mark asked, taken aback with the reverence in which Damon spoke Gregory's name.
"I do. I wish I was able to save him, and I wish I could have taken him to the places I have been. He would have saved my life and my soul. In the 150 years BE I did so many terrible things that I do not like to talk about. I wouldn't have done half those things if he were with me. He kept me out of trouble. He would have made a good vampire. When you turn all your traits get amplified. He was caring and compassionate. He would have made an amazing vampire." Damon explained.
"Thank you for telling me this Damon. Do you want any of these photos to remember him by?" Mark asked.
"No. You keep them, they belong to your family. I can still see him in my memories." he explained.
"Thank you. Would you mind telling me where he is buried?" Mark asked.
"The Mystic Falls cemetery. He's in the far corner under the willow tree." Damon said.
"Thank you again. But we should head out. Thank you for dinner, perhaps we will see you again before we head back home to Richmond." he said shaking Damon's hand.
"I look forward to it." he said. When they were gone Elena wrapped her arms around her husband.
"I can see how much you cared for him." she murmured.
"He was my friend. One of my only friends in my entire existence. He will always hold a special place in my heart." he answered.
"I'm glad you cared for someone else. He seemed like a smart man trying to get you away from Katherine." she said planting a kiss to the side of his neck.
"He was very smart." Damon agreed.
"Do you think he would have approved of me?" she asked him.
"Definitely. You are exactly the woman he would have chosen for me. I know that. You know you found the one when you can refer to the part of your life before she came into it as BE. Before Elena." he said leaning down to kiss her tenderly.
"Same here. The BD days were nothing remarkable and too boring." she said.
"How about the BAA days?" he asked.
"Boring. How would I ever have lived without Aiden and Aurora." she said smiling.
"We should head up to bed. I want to hold you tonight and maybe make love again. They're 16 they can handle themselves." he murmured into her hair.
"Okay." she answered before losing herself in another kiss.
