Damon turned around frantically, searching for Talia, but the only one in sight was Cassandra who was bent at an awkward angle under the pressure of Damon's aura.

Damon rushed to the door to open it, and he nearly bumped into Talia.

"Damn it, kitten," Damon spoke under his breath while pressing her into him.
