So sorry for the wait... I honestly have no excuse for the wait. There are only 3 or 4 more chapters left, maybe less. Depending on how fast I can wrap this up.
Thank you to my brilliant beta Courtney. :)
"So, Mr Salvatore what are we doing today?" Elena asked as she tied a white robe around her still naked body.
"I have a few ideas." Damon told her, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her against his body hard.
"Damon..." Elena sighed pushing at his chest and pulling back.
"It's a brilliant plan Mrs. Salvatore. I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much." He told her, pulling her back into him.
"I'm sure I will to, but it's not going to happen. We are not spending our entire honeymoon having sex. We are going to leave the cottage and explore. You told me you were renting a boat, let's take that out." She suggested as he followed her back into the bedroom as she dressed for the day. "It'd be a shame for the rental to go to waste because of your penis."
"It's our honeymoon. I've never had one of these but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to having endless amounts of sex on it." He complained.
"I don't care. I want to go out. It's been three days and I've barely seen the ocean. I am going to the front desk to ask them what we should do today and when I get back you better be in a better mood and more willing to co-operate." She told him.
"I'm already in the mood." Damon huffed earning a hard glare from his wife. "Fine. By the way I think you look incredible in that dress." He told her.
"Thanks. I bought it with you in mind." She said of the strapless eyelet lace dress she was wearing for the day that she paired with some cork wedges. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail, adding to the soft, carefree, summery look she was sporting. "But it doesn't change anything. We're still going out today."
"Fine. I'll come with you." He told her pulling a shirt on and following her out the door.
"Why don't you go to the boat and get everything ready there. I'll be right back. You know as well as I do that you will spend the entire walk over there trying to convince me to give up on my plans of actually experiencing Hawaii." She told him.
"Fine, you saw right through my intentions." He sighed.
"I know I did, I know you very well." She reminded him.
"You're the only one who does." He told her.
"I know. I'll be right back." She said as she walked down the path towards the resort. Damon watched her walk away before making his way to the marina to get the rented boat ready for travel.
"Mrs. Salvatore, what can I do for you this lovely morning?" The concierge asked her politely. It was the same one that checked them in the day they arrived, Elena was beginning to wonder if he ever went home. He was there every single time they went over there or called in to ask for something.
"Actually I need your advice. As a local, where would you suggest we go visit for the day?" She asked.
"You and your husband rented a boat correct?" He asked.
"Yes, Damon is at the boat getting it ready." She told him.
"You should sail over to the town. There are little shops that sell beautiful jewelry and clothing. It is a must see for tourists, though many refuse to leave the resort. The town is the place of miracles on our island." He told her smiling fondly.
"What kind of miracles?" Elena asked curiously.
"There is a being on the island we call "The fixer", I know it's not a clever name but that's who he is. I can't say he's human because the things he can do are practically inhuman. They are deemed miraculous. He can heal anything from a jellyfish sting to a broken heart. I've seen it happen. I've experienced it. I know nothing has happened to you yet, but at the very least you should see him. Maybe even give him an offering." The concierge suggested.
"The fixer?" She asked raising her eyebrows.
"I got stung by a sting ray when I was fishing one time. My wife rushed me to the fixer and and I don't recall how he did it. But he told me to calm down and I did, the next thing I know is the pain was gone; as if it never exists in the first place." He said reverently.
"Perhaps we will check it out." Elena said.
"It is definitely worth it." He agreed.
"What do people offer him?" Elena asked, expecting him to say money and jewels.
"Just animals. Farm animals, pets, fish it doesn't matter. The man loves animals although we have no idea what he does with them. It's not our concern, he has saved so many lives since he came here twenty years ago." He said.
"Hm. But my husband is waiting for me so I better go." Elena said.
"Oh yes of course. Have a good day." He said as she turned and walked out of the resort.
"Figure something out?" Damon asked.
"Let me ask you something. There is a character here known as "The Fixer." Apparently he fixes everything from jellyfish stings to broken hearts but the people never remember how it happened. All they know is he's a hero. They offer him living animals in payment and no one knows what he does with them. Is it possible that he's a vampire who gives the injured his blood and compels away broken hearts?" Elena asked.
"It's very possible. Although helping people like that is not in our nature. Something very profound would have had to happen to this vampire for him to turn like this." Damon answered.
"Yeah. I think he eats the animals too. I think if its a vampire that's where he gets sustenance from." Elena told him.
"You're probably right but I want to check it out. If it's a vampire and he is in any way hostile I have to take care of it. I won't put you in any kind of danger." Damon told her.
"Okay, I'll come with you." Elena said stepping onto the boat.
"I wasn't going to leave you here. You're the one who figured out this guy." He told her taking her hand and helping her into the boat.
"If he helps all these people, do you think he could possibly be dangerous?" Elena asked.
"Stefan is on a bunny diet as I like to call it and he isn't able to be around human blood without completely losing it. It is very hard to have that kind of restraint when you're not consistently feeding on human blood like I do. So either he's really really old, or he's blessed with incredible restraint or he's psycho. It's got to be one of those." He said as he drove the boat around the island, making their way to the village.
"Do you want me to do anything?" Elena asked unsure of what to do.
"You can just sit downand continue looking gorgeous." He told her kissing her forehead.
"Are you worried about what we're going to find at the village?" She asked.
"Not really. I don't worry about these sorts of things. I have the upper hand in this, I have learnt shortcuts to fighting over the years if it comes to that. Besides I have you to protect so that gives me even more motivation." He told her.
"Okay." She agreed.
"Good. Just relax, I have the feeling he isn't really a threat. I'm just curious to meet a vampire who uses all of his powers and abilities to do good in the world." He admitted.
"So am I honestly." Elena admitted as she settled into a seat on the boat as they sailed.
After a little while spent sailing they parked the boat in an empty spot at the marina and Damon jumped off gracefully. He held his hand out for Elena to take and helped her off of the boat.
"This place is cute." Elena noted as she looked at her surroundings.
"Its not bad. I personally prefer the resort of obvious reasons, but this is kinda cool." He told her.
"Your preference for the resort has nothing to do with privacy does it?" She asked rhetorically.
"None at all." He said smirking at her as they walked. They looked around road side stands where people were selling jewelry and clothing. Elena found some gifts for her friends and family plus a few little things for herself.
"Have you given any thought to what you'd like to change about the Boarding House, if anything?" He asked as they walked; they're linked hands swinging gently between them.
"I love the house the way that it is. It's beautiful and perfect." She told him.
"Are you sure there is nothing you'd like to change?" He asked again.
"I would like if we landscaped the yard a little bit. It's such a big lot that we could do so much with it." Elena suggested
"What would you like to do?" He asked.
"I would love a hot tub, like the one we have here. But I think we should put a pond in with koi, and some beautiful flower gardens. I love flowers." She told him.
"How about when we get home, I'll call up a landscape company and you tell them what you want done. You can have whatever you want." He promised her.
"Really? But I want it to be what you want too." She told him.
"I want you to be happy with the house inside and out. I have no intention of ever moving so you have to like every aspect of the house." He told her.
"Okay, but if you come up with any ideas or suggestions make sure you tell me. This yard is as much yours as it is mine." Elena told him.
"Deal." Damon said.
"Good. Now where the hell is this fixer character?" Elena asked not having come across him as they walked.
"You are looking for the fixer ma'am?" A middle aged woman asked.
"Yes, do you know where he is?" Elena asked.
"Next street over. You will see his assistant standing outside his hut." She told Elena kindly.
"Thank you." Elena said as the two of them started walking.
When they found the hut they walked up to the assistant who was talking to an older lady who was offering them a chicken.
"We need to see "The Fixer" right now." Damon said firmly.
"What is your emergency?" The assistant asked.
"It has everything to do with the fact that I don't think your boss is as good as he thinks he is. I think he's a fraud and a phony, so maybe you should bring him out here and prove me wrong." Damon said knowing that was the best way to go.
"You will eat your words. The Fixer is not a phony." The assistant stated as he stepped into the hut. Damon could hear him conversing with who he assumed was "The Fixer."
"You may go in." The assistant stated holding open the door for them to pass through. Damon rolled his eyes and took Elena's hand as they walked through the open doorway.
"Please enter." A voice summoned them. The voice was calm and serene, the kind of voice that screamed mysticism. They walked through an orange, partially transparent curtain and Damon's eyes immediately widened.
"Anthony?" He questioned with his eyebrows nearly touching his hairline.
"Anthony?" Elena questioned Damon looking between him and The Fixer who was sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"Damon Salvatore, it is a pleasure to see you again." Anthony, The Fixer greeted.
"What the hell are you doing?" Damon asked shaking his head.
"When you turned me I was brutal for around a quarter of a century. Then an idea struck me and I knew I had to somehow repay the lives I took. I couldn't be a monster. Morality overcame me and I was depressed for five years, fretting about the lives I couldn't bring back. I knew there was no way I could bring back the people I killed in cold blood, so I decided I would help others. I moved here and became The Fixer. I save countless lives every year. In the past twenty years I have saved more lives than I killed in the first thirty. It's not just physical injuries I heal either, it's emotional ones too. I am a miracle worker." Anthony explained.
"Interesting." Damon replied, unsure of how to reply to the vampire he turned out of sheer boredom fifty years ago.
"Are you still feeding off of humans, seducing, killing and being downright awful?" Anthony asked looking disgusted at the thought.
"I rarely kill. I only feed from Elena, and there is only one woman on my radar that I am remotely interested in seducing and I do it on a very regular basis. I was never awful, I was flawed but there are worse vampires out there." Damon told him.
"What happened to you? The Damon Salvatore that turned me would never have changed. He would have seduced, fed then kill or compel. That's the mantra you instilled in me, depending on how annoying the prey was." Anthony asked seemingly baffled by the tamer vampire before him.
"Elena happened. Anthony this is my wife Elena." Damon said introducing the two. Anthony held out his hand for her to shake and she shook it smiling at him.
"Wife! Wow you have changed. Just for the record that's a good thing. I am very happy your life is coming together as mine is. So what brings you to Kauai?" He asked taking a sip from a gold goblet with what Damon assumed to be animal blood.
"Our honeymoon. We just got married a few days ago." Damon told him as he wrapped his arm around her.
"Wonderful. That truly is wonderful. I have always dreamed that you would find happiness. I could feel your unhappiness last time I saw you and it made me sad. Can I get you anything?" He asked realizing that he hadn't offered them anything to drink.
"Nah we're fine. I'm really not into what you serve." Damon told him wincing at the glass Anthony raised to his lips.
"Animals are a much kinder method of feeding. If I'm going to be a vampire I want to make sure I'm not harming the people I've vowed to protect." Anthony explained.
"I see. The secret is compulsion. They don't even have to remember that you took from them. Isn't that more humane than taking the life of an innocent animal?" Elena asked.
"Certainly not. I refuse to harm a human. Animals are the better way to go." Anthony hissed.
"Damon bites me all the time and feeds from me but I'm still perfectly healthy." Elena told him standing her ground. She hated the idea of this guy feeding off of innocent animals. The idea made her stomach flip.
"I live the most humane life I can possibly live given the circumstances. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask the two of you to leave. I have customers who need me." He said.
"I'd be glad to leave." Elena said not liking this guy already.
"It was definitely interesting to see you again." Damon said following Elena out.
"You as well Damon. I pray that you have a peaceful existence." Anthony called to them as they walked out.
"That guy is a freak." Elena exclaimed when they were walking back to the boat.
"I can't understand why he lives the way he does. It's completely insane." Damon agreed with her.
"I can't believe you turned him." Elena stated snorting.
"He wasn't like this when I turned him. He was fairly normal." Damon defended as he helped her back into the boat.
"He's certainly a strange one, that's for sure. Now what should we do?" Elena asked.
"I was just thinking about sailing for a bit. I'll get us into open waters and then we'll turn off the engines and let the boat float. We can relax a little bit. I put a bottle of wine in the cooler." He told her. She grinned at him and stepped into the cabin and found the bottle of wine he said there was. She found glasses in the little cabinet on the small watercraft and went back up. She put the wine on the small table with the glasses and walked over to Damon. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and pressed a kiss between his shoulder blades.
"This has been the best few days of my life." She told him.
"I'm glad." He replied as he continued to steer the boat.
"You are really good at this." She noted as she kissed him once more.
"Driving the boat?" He responded.
"No, being my husband. You are perfect." She told him as she nuzzled into his back.
"So are you. I want to be perfect for you." He told her as he got far enough away from the coast. There were no boats close by but Damon could see some in the distance. He shut off the engine and the boat just bobbed in the water. He turned around and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to his body.
"I love you Elena Gilbert." He told her as he bent down to kiss her. They kissed passionately for a moment before he broke it and smiled at her.
"Salvatore. You called me Elena Gilbert. Elena Gilbert- Salvatore." She told him before kissing him again.
"God I love you."He groaned against her lips.
"Make love to me." She told him smiling at him.
"Where?" He asked.
"Right here." She told him as she gently lowered herself to the deck of the boat.
"God I love you." He repeated as he followed her down until he was lying astride her body. She giggled as he wrestled open his shirt and tossed it onto the floor of the boat.
"You are a mighty fine sight Damon Salvatore." Elena noted as she ran her hands down the ridges of his abs. He grinned at her again before lowering his head and capturing her lips with his. While he kissed her he reached for the hem of her dress and pushed it up, bunching it up around her hips. He pulled away long enough to pull the scrap of lace away from her womanhood before settling back over her. He kissed her again, they kissed like their lives depended on it. The kiss gaining intensity the longer it went on. Damon trailed his hands to her wetness and ran his finger down her slit, spreading the moisture around.
"I need you inside." She pleaded as her hands tried to work their way into his jeans. He raised his hips up enough so she could push the jeans down once she had them unfastened. "Sometimes I really love the fact that you go tend to always go commando."
"Is there ever a time when you don't like it?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"There are a couple times when it's majorly inconvenient." She admitted as he kicked the rest of his jeans off after she
pushed them down.
"I can't see that. All underwear causes is more work in getting me naked." He told her. He positioned himself at her entrance and she brought her knees up to cradle his body.
"Just do it." She pleaded as he ran his firm erection along her slit. She tried to move with him, but his weight kept her pressed into the deck of the boat.
"Alright alright." He sighed acquiescing to her request. He slowly slid inside her until he was completely buried inside her. She ran her hands down his back and over his well formed ass before making the return journey back up. He placed his hands flat on the deck as he started stirring his cock inside her. He would pull back before thrusting back in before doing a rolling motion with his hips causing her to sigh breathlessly. His movements were making her crazy and he had just started but she was already close to the edge. His movements had him bumping her clit on every thrust. He pulled one of her legs up and placed it on his shoulder changing up the angle in which he was penetrating her at.
"Oh my God... so good." Elena screamed when the new position had him brushing into her G-spot.
"Let it out baby. Let me hear you." He insisted as he continued moving.
"Oh God." She hissed, squeezing his eyes tightly shut as he moved. The man really was a sex God and anyone who tried to dispute that would have Elena to deal with. Feeling his orgasm creeping towards him, he reached between them and rubbed her clit with the pad of his thumb. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut unable to keep them open anymore. She arched her back, pushing her hips further into him as he moved. Both of their movements getting more erratic.
"Oh God Damon I'm so close." She screamed as she clawed at his back desperate for the pleasure she knew he could give her. He continued the pressure he was exerting on her clit but lowered his head to take one dusky pink nipple into his mouth. He laved at it with his tongue before gently biting down on it. The combination of everything he was doing to her, pushed her over the edge screaming his name. Her eyes were squeezing shut as she climaxed hard around him. He followed suit after three more thrusts, spilling himself inside her.
"Wow." Elena sighed a few minutes later when she was finally able to articulate a response.
"That good huh? It took you that long to come up with a response." He teased.
"I can't help it that you're so good at it." She responded.
"I know I'm good. Care to take this back to the cottage so I can show you again how good I am?" He questioned as he flexed his hips into hers, making her aware that he was still inside her.
"How about right here, right now." She suggested as she arched into him and squeezed her inner muscles around him making him harden inside her.
"Ask and you shall receive." He told her as he rolled on top of her again.
