We went to breakfast and told Adam and Samuel the plan. They were surprised but had no problem with it. Damon looked online to see how to apply for judging rights and shows and stuff and then we looked at houses together. It was a bit awkward because Damon insisted that I sit on his lap. As I said, being on his lap wasn't quite natural right away and we went to the couch to lay on his lap and look at houses. Eventually, we found one lovely big old mansion and Damon bought it online. We would get the keys from the estate agent when we arrived. We took the pack plane, of course, fucking our way through. I was just wondering how we were going to get any day-to-day stuff done when we were busying ourselves at least on the plane. Then we bought our own cars. We had already agreed on the plane that we both might have different shows and schedules so we both bought our own cars. This time I bought a sports BMW with a rosy red metallic paint job. Damon, the SUV, silver I didn't even know the make and I wasn't interested. We had agreed that no gigs, just everyday life, and if there was an emergency we would look into it. Damon even turned off his lady phone.

We got the keys and drove our own cars to the house. I didn't want to get loose even though I knew the little baby could do a lot better than that. I didn't bother racing. As I passed it, I thought, "There's another thing I want to do. Race. We arrived at the house and went to explore. Damon went online to order groceries and I started going through the rooms. There was quite a lot of very old-fashioned massive furniture, which neither of us liked but we knew that if Bran were here it would be exactly what would stay. For us, it didn't stay. We always fucked at night and in the morning we got up for breakfast. Although I had to stay in bed under the sheet or we couldn't go anywhere. Damon couldn't control himself if he saw me naked. Luckily, we had time for a couple of mornings that slipped by. But I'm learning. We both went through our training and we would have really different shows. On the same days several times but in different places, we didn't mind. We went to the grocery store, and Damon kept teaching me what I could or couldn't eat. We cooked. We ordered things online. We decorated together. One thing that bothered me was the lamps, the ceiling lamps. I so wanted to change them, but Damon thought they were just right. What's the point of changing everything we don't always keep them on that much anyway.

We both got our rights and we were always put on the show. Never really the same. I think we had three shows together and even those were so that my breeds were in the morning and Damon's in the afternoon. But we lived our everyday lives. Which went really well. I then finally learned to be in the lap, even sometimes going there myself.

For example, when I came back from a show in the evening or it was almost evening and Damon had had the day off or had just had work to do in the morning, I usually had dinner waiting for me. I always had to eat first. Then we had a sauna. An outdoor sauna because I'd got one and we had a good lake to swim in. In the sauna, we could have some fun if we had to, but we'd been fucking every night, all night for the six months we'd been here, so the biggest rush had subsided to the point where we could actually go to the sauna and wash up before our night sessions. Not always, as I said, sometimes it was just a more intense time. If we had a day off, we'd wake up around maybe 9 am, by which time Damon usually went downstairs to make coffee while I got dressed. Then we'd eat breakfast and lounge around either inside or outside if there was no need to shop. Damon would go to the couch and he'd already taught me that one determined look, so I knew to go into his lap to be. It was awkward at first, somehow not natural at all, but Damon knew how to be an incredibly patient and gentle teacher. You have to learn, then,

I never thought our life could be so perfect. We didn't fight much, at least not all the time, most of our fights were about the dogs. For example, Damon would have been at a show I was judging. I could hear at the end of the night how I picked the wrong dog. I tried not to completely scream, but every now and then it would boil over. Of course, there was some passionate make-up sex to be had. luckily I didn't always have to go to work for a couple of days after a session like that.

I used to get upset with Damon if I was watching his show, how he was over-friendly to every fucking woman and didn't look at dogs only women. Again with the make-up sex. We'd talk sometimes, whatever came to mind. How one of the judges was in retirement from both of us or a road was terrible to drive on. The cars were a problem, though. If Damon was off duty, he wanted to take me out in my BMW. When I could drive myself. For some reason, Mr. Salvatore drove my little baby quite often. Although Damon did say it was usually a man's job to name the cars. I just laughed at the whole thing and said, "I'm no ordinary woman." Sometimes we went shopping all day and oh how I found a shoe store. So part of the job was I had to find Damon a good shop, the liquor store was very good. Then I got to go shopping and look at shoes. I found the most wonderful Oscar de la Renta shoe shop, which had vintage shoes, which are very old designs that are left over. I couldn't always choose right away and it took me a while. Often a dark, handsome man would come into the shop and take me away when he had bought about half the shop. But when I didn't get to choose. The look on Damon's face was something of a suffering one. He couldn't really wait while I was deciding whether to buy or not.

After these little shopping sprees, we might go for a safe coffee and dinner somewhere. That was always a show, though. Damon sniffed. I watched him sniff everything very carefully and then always order me a pastry or something. I could judge people's clothes and people's looks in my head as I passed by, and I didn't always remember the telepath next to me. So I was surprised a couple of times when he burst out laughing so hard that coffee flew out of his mouth. But every now and then I did remember and then it was nice to think really naughty thoughts. Oh that we usually left the house in a hurry.

We'd been in England for a year. We'd been together for a year, a little over a year if you count a couple of months in America when Adam phoned and said we had to go back now that Bran was insisting. We sighed and vowed to do this again sometime. For some reason, Damon had to rush off to a gig in England and so I had to fly back on my own. Damon arrived two hours later, as the storm signaled and I guessed that had just been Bran's job to drive us apart. We gathered at Mississippi's house and Bran was already there, we went to dinner.

Bran looked at all of us and said " Good that the whole pack is finally together. We're going to have another pack visit. Remember to behave yourselves. And this is not a gene exchange. It's just a pack visit. These are from Canada, and Quebec. " I was quite good, but I felt like saying quite a few sentences. The telepath next to me heard all my carefully constructed sentences and squeezed my hand, trying not to laugh. Bran said after we had eaten. "Damon and Adam, why don't you come back over there and we'll have a look at the problems of this pack. They claim they are being hunted and Damon you at least know one woman and Adam you know another. Me and Samuel do know the alpha pair." Oh yeah, ex-girlfriends. Fine. If Damon slips, then Damon slips. We had a wonderful year and two months and no ex-girlfriend is gonna take that away from me.

I went upstairs and in fact, this bed was never even consecrated. Again, I had just been here for a few gigs. the bed was big, huge, and had a lovely peach-colored fluffy bedspread, silk sheets underneath, dark purple and I had made this bed a bit of a seduction bed. Damon said in my head. "Baby, this is going to take all night and the pack is coming early. So you don't mind..." not at all. Fine, I slept in the seduction bed myself and scented it with strawberries and champagne already. Easy peasy. Put on the eternal flame on your phone so you don't need much warming up and you come pretty fucking hard. I wasn't even going to shower in the morning. I was still in bed at 6 am when Bran came into the room. He opened the curtains and said " Now you need to remember to control your vampire side. You understand. But I've got the backup for that. " He came over to me and stuck some kind of implant or something in my neck that stung so badly and took my strength away.

Bran said "No bloodlust, no wild sex. That anti-vampire implant will keep you in check during this visit. " Oh really. Fine then. Bran got out of bed and said " Go take a shower. At least try to be relatively odorless for once." oh fuck, when I got the urge to scream. But I controlled myself. I got in the shower, put some clean clothes on. I went to the kitchen. There was no one there. Let's have breakfast by ourselves. No problem. didn't see Damon at all until the guests arrived and when the car pulled up, another redhead ran straight into Damon's lap, about as good as not sobbing. same thing with Adam. And Samuel had these very traumatized werewolves. From what I remember of my Marrok days, this pack was not a problem pack. Now it consisted of the alpha couple and the hysterical women and then there were the men again, who looked at me again very appraisingly. And there was even one vampire. Damon greeted the vampire man and apparently, they were on good terms. I wasn't even introduced as the guests were just ushered in.

Fine, I went in and Bran took me into his study and said " Now Mimi you have a showplace. Use your network and find out who is after this pack. Bring me the evidence and then you'll see what I can do for you. Maybe you can spend another year with Damon. " OMG. I thought but said " Fine, I'll look into it but I can't promise anything because our Focus is in the medical facilities. " Bran nodded and allowed me to leave. I made a couple of contacts and knew it would take some time. I was surprised when Brutus called and told me that the Elders were chasing the pack because the woman in the pack, Damon's ex-girlfriend killed Brianna's grandfather. In Damon's name.

Oh fuck and now they're here. This could get pretty fucking ugly pretty fast. I went to tell this to Bran who started cursing quite genuinely, how the fuck. I left Bran to figure out a solution. I just saw him talking to Damon and Damon didn't think the poor girl would do that. Mimi's got it all wrong now, blah blah blah blah. At that point, I thought, I think we're about to break up. And it actually didn't bother me at all because I had somehow seen such a clear change in Damon and for some reason, that side of him didn't strike me in a way that I wanted to spend time with him. Adam was equally impossible. After a couple of days of wriggling, I invited everyone into Bran's study except for the tiny pussies. Nor did the rest of the visiting pack.

I said "I don't do this often but Brutus has now agreed to this. I'll call him and put him on speaker and you can hear for yourself." I did. Oh that Damon and Adam questioned and questioned, tried to find the girls innocent but no. fine. Damon said "Easy solution. I'll go kill the last two. Then no one will come after them." And so he went off to kill the elders. The girls entertained themselves with Adam and Samuel, including Damon's ex. Bran miraculously took the implant out of my neck. Damon came back two days later, with both Elders now killed. Now Bran might consider taking the girls into the pack. Adam and Damon were quite serious about it. I said " If those two bitches come into this pack, I'm leaving the pack. You can be sure of that." Bran didn't take the girls into the pack yet. Damon looked at me like a piece of meat again. Adam was just grumpy.

I was in the bedroom the night of the day I had threatened to leave. I was just going to read when Damon came to the door he said "Now, baby, now you better think real hard about that statement you made to Bran, about leaving, or I can guarantee you'll be in medbay and out in no time. And as you can see I'm busy and I don't have to deal with sepsis, for example, or an overdose. Just a reminder, baby," I was quiet and didn't say a word. I waited for everyone to go to bed and I just left Bran a note and left. I called Magnum and told him what happened. He said " You were right to leave, that was such a direct threat from Salvatore, you could almost take it as a promise. Where are you going to go?" I hadn't thought about it yet but decided to stay in America. I went to California and continued my medical studies there. I was still in the pack but as soon as I noticed there were new females in the pack, I got bran to let me go. Now I was without a pack unless the fleas were counted.
