Chương 4: 4. I Was Made Loving You.
Damon was happy. He had Mariella, and that was right now the only sure thing in his mind, his feelings for her, how she taught him to love, to let go. Damon had thought once he had felt Mimi stopping loving him, he would want to die. It had been so a nasty feeling but then again, Mariella had given him her love, her unconditional love, and that was all that he needed right now. Everything inside him was in a mess. What had been him and what had been Damien? How stupid he had been not to believe Mimi.
The part of him that had been awake and around, the part that had felt most for Mimi, had gone to sleep. It had been somehow tired, exhausted, and now he would be whole. Not just one part of him struggling to keep onto the surface, but he was. Just him, not Damien.
And he had felt so much, love for Mariella. everything felt so new, so fresh and this was his second birth, he had now gotten his memories from his early childhood; he remembered Damien, the dog, and some things, and he remembered the ritual, too. The struggle was as his parents tried to get Damien onto the surface and he had fought so hard to keep himself awake.
So he had himself taken one part of him, the part that felt most, and let it be on the surface while he had tried to fight against Damien. He had used his feelings against Damien, and then there was the memory, one he could not remember. He knew that someone told him to do this, but he could not remember who it had been. And Damien had imprisoned most of him in a cage, for so long time that he had felt so powerless, and once he had gotten free, not sure how, and once he asked that about Mariella, she had said nothing. So it had been something then.
Now every day felt new and every day he learned something new about himself too, some memory or something that came out and he talked about a lot of things to Mariella. She helped him. She could make terrible memories fade away, just like he could fade away with his telepathy, too. Mariella was not a telepath, it was her being the savior. She was supposed to save whoever needed to be saved, and she had her radar for that too.
Mariella was often confused about what it came to everyday life and Damon explained patiently many things to her. They were each other's halves, much more than he had ever been with Mimi. Thought of Mimi made him feel something but then again, he wanted to focus on Mariella and their love. It was so wonderful to be in love, and feel everything.
Damon saw Mariella was a little restless and curious about Charles and Adam, too. He thought to let her get to know those two a little better in everyday life. They had fucked, but Damon had seen it as well. Adam and Charles weren't all in. They used their lust but not their feelings, and Mariella could sense it. When one uses feelings for sex, it creates energy, and Mariella used hers and Damon's sex energy, their lust, to make an energy web around them. Much stronger and wider than Damon's little energy umbrella had been.
Damon said to Mariella."Darling, would you like to go shopping with Adam and Charles?"
He was lying on the bed. Mariella was sitting. She had just had a bath and enjoyed it very much.
Mariella looked at him for a moment and said, "Aren't you coming? And how do you know they are going shopping?"
Her voice was a little unsure, and she furrowed her brows ever so slightly, and that made a warm feeling in Damon's chest even stronger. She was totally his, so perfect being.
Damon smiled and said, "Telepath darling, strong one. Besides, I'm a lazy creature. If you want to see the shop, then go along. They're not going to any enormous store. They're just going to pick up a few things that were missing. There is a little corner shop about a ten-minute drive so it is a chance for you, to get to see so many new things and maybe get to know boys a little better too. "
Mariella thought for a moment. Did she dare stay away from Damon? She'd fucked Adam and Charles, and they'd held back. It had been okay, but Mariella felt like they were just bundled up, not relaxed with her. They did not use their feelings when they had fucked with her. She didn't get any boost to her energy web from them.
Maybe this shopping trip would help. She'd get to know these men better, too. Mariella was already noticing bad habits in herself. She wanted these men, too. She didn't like Mirella at all. There was something so wrong with the whole vampire woman thing. Damon had warned her about Mirella too, and she agreed she was a menace and danger to all of them.
But Bran had been protecting Mirella strangely enough, and they had focused on each other, not pack business. Charles was technically the pack leader and Mariella saw there was nothing wrong, per se, but she had the better leader in her mind, too. To her, Adam and Charles were sweet men, always ready to help, and much tamer than Damon. They did not have the same charge as Damon. They did not ooze danger and power like her Damon. Her Damon. It was perfect too. She would be perfectly fine with these two.
She said to Damon, "Fine, dear Damon, My Damon. I'll go to the store with those two if it'll make them feel a little more relaxed. I see what I can do with them. They are sweet boys and this is also new to them too. To be a whole new species, to have all of these powers and not talent yet to use it."
Damon grunted, he got up, and picked up Mariella's clothes. He had ordered lots of clothes for her. They had put their master bedroom together. This was now theirs. Not anyone else's. If she fucked with Adam and Charles, there was a different room, too. There were a lot of aquariums in this house too and Mimosa, the funny wolf, loved her aquariums. Mariella thought that one day she would get to know Mimosa better, too. After all, she had been so long inside Mimi that she would have some valuable inside information about the resident Ice Queen.
Mariella kissed Damon one last time passionately. He had put her hair in a complicated braided thing and she was ready.
She said, "Well, I am off now. See you in a little while."
Damon just smiled and watched her walk away. He was not worried. He knew she would be back in his arms soon enough, too.
Adam and Charles were leaving to go to the store when Mariella came up to them and said, "Damon promised I could come with you to the store. That's all right, isn't it?"
She had a red leather dress, her hair was neatly bundled up and her expression was as innocent as ever. She had heels, but not too high.
Charles and Adam looked at each other for a moment and said, " It's fine. We're going to the local store for milk, bread, and meat. Nothing fancier than that."
Men looked at each other as Mariella walked ahead. Mimi had talked briefly before leaving that she had bought five new islands and she would love to take them to one island and have a good time, just three of them.
Charles dreamed about that. Mimi was now his and Adam's, not Damon's anymore and something had come alive inside him as he had noticed this thing. He had now truly someone to love, someone to be with, and there was no danger that someone else would rob her away from him.
He knew he had been too dismissive when she had talked about going on missions or fight clubs, but he knew her rage. She needed to vent and after that, then would be time to go to their island and enjoy their new life. He knew Adam had the same dreams, too.
Mariella went to the back of the car and said, "Have you heard anything about Mimi? How is she? Damon got a note from Mimi that she switched you two to her medical headshots, and Damon is a little unsure about it now. But as Mimi may do it if there are circumstances, I can say that I might be a circumstance."
Adam and Charles were silent. They, too, had received the same paper and had accepted it. They thought Mimi was doing the right thing, and now it was time to be diplomatic because that creature in the back seat wasn't thinking of anything but Damon.
They had also known that Mimi had changed her last name, gotten her prenup validated, and taken care of her finances, too. Just in case Damon wanted the divorce, she gave up her part of the Azores and a few of the houses that Damon had bought with her and then again, took out Damon's name from others, but gave Charles and Adam part of a few houses.
Charles said, "Well, since Damon and you are now married and in love, he feels nothing for Mimi. It is clear that Mimi had to make some changes in her life, too. Mimi thinks always of others and even though Damon might take this as an insult, it is not. Mimi is just relieving him of his duty to her. So if she gets sick, there is no duty to Damon to start to treat her, but it is our job now. Mimi is just giving Damon his life back, to be free of her and her problems. Mimi thinks always of others before herself. That is one thing you must learn."
Mariella thought for a moment and said, "It is not so simple for Damon. He still has feelings for Mimi, that I know, even though we are now in love and whatnot, but he has not thrown Mimi out of his life. I understand Mimi's need to have distance and she might have some feelings of bitterness or jealousy, but this is not the way to go. Damon is her biological half, her best chance to get healthy as fast as possible, and besides, I am the savior, so if there is the need, I can help too."
Adam sighed. That one has no idea who Mimi is.
Adam said, "Mimi doesn't feel jealous or bitter. Mimi is the leader of her organization. She keeps her mind on the matter and does not let her emotions run rampant. Did you know that Mimi had lost two very special guys in her life, and said nothing about how it felt to Damon, or us in that matter? What Mimi is, is practical. As fun it would be for you, to make Mimi into a jealous, bitter bitch, that is not her. You heard what Damon said to her. He told her that there were no more of us. You can't deny it. I suggest you focus on being with Damon and not get any funny theories anymore about Mimi or else I might get upset and you don't want me to get upset."
Mariella was silent. This was interesting. She had gotten some actual feelings out of these too the first time, just by talking about Mimi. These two terriers defended her hard. Oh, when she gets to tell Damon about this.
The car started to slow down, and Charles parked the car deftly near the doors. Mariella wanted one day to learn to drive, but for now, it was fun to be in the car and watch everything. These two had passion, but how she could get it out?
She wanted to feel that passion. And that hint of steel in Adam's voice. It had made her curious. These were tame, right? Just teddy bears hurt no one innocent. Damon, on the other hand, didn't mind so much innocence, too.
They arrived at the shop, and Charles walked alongside Mariela the whole time, looking around warily. As Mariella examined one packet of biscuits, Charles picked it up from her grasp and said, " Not those. Not for you."
Mariella looked at Charles for a moment and smiled. Fine, this is going to be fun. He was her protector, and it was time to get his protector radar open. The best way was being naughty, to get him to protect her. She tested. She went over to the cutlet shelf and looked at the different cutlets. And again, Charles came and took her away.
Mariella looked at Charles and said, " You are my protector, even if you didn't believe it at first. But this proved it. You have probably your radar open, so you can see if I am lacking anything or if I need anything at all. And you are not my husband. I might not obey you if I want to have something."
Charles looked at her for a moment and said, "Let's play a little game."
He decided to show that he was not the teddy bear this creature had put him up to. Charles was irritated by this attitude and he was still a pack leader. He was not a teddy bear at all and it was time for this little thing to see a real man, not a fucking machine that Salvatore was, more or less. He took a few steps closer to Mariella so that she backed up against the wall. He let this expression harden; he looked at her very dangerously.
Charles leaned closer, put his hand on the wall next to Mariella, and let her feel his body against hers. He was not in the mood to be the gentle giant that she thought he was. He leaned into her more, so she could feel his body pressing her against the wall, making her helpless. He was feeling quite bloodlust as they normally drank from Mimi and she had the blood of the gods, more or less.
Charles growled in Mariella's ear, "I'm not a teddy bear then. I can be your protector, but that doesn't mean I worship you with heart pictures in my eyes like Salvatore. Remember that, darling."
He smiled, but it made him look beastly and he looked at Mariella like she would be just a meal for him, his vampire side open, black vein around his eyes, sharp long fangs visible, She could smell the bitter smell of thick smoke, meaning this was feeling bloodlust. Damon had never kept his fangs this long, and she was almost scared.
Mariella felt herself getting wet at how Charles growled that darling word. His hot, firm body had trapped her fully against the wall and she felt helpless but very aroused. Just as Charles's mouth, now cruel and dangerous, was leaning closer as to crush against her neck, Adam was talking to some woman and was beginning to look worried. He looked at Charles, and clearly, they were talking about something in their mind between them.
The moment was over, and Charles pulled away. Veins disappeared around his eyes as he pulled his vampire side back in, and they quickly gathered their things and went to the checkouts. Mariella knew it was Mimi. It had to be. Nothing threw cold water on these two libidos but Mimi. He had felt Charles' hot, hard problem pressing against her. His lips had been so close and that kiss would have been something, but no, now these two were talking in their minds. All worried about something. She had been ready and willing for him to drain her brutally too. But no.
They drove back in silence. Neither of the men said the word. Adam drove and Charles checked something with her phone. His frows were burrowed and Mariella could feel the change in the atmosphere. Once they got back to the house, the men strolled into the kitchen, put things fast in cupboards and fridge, and left to some room together.
Mariella went up to Damon and said, " Those two, I thought I'd got Charles to come out already and try to dominate me, but no. He had his fangs out and he was ready to make a meal out of me. There was a woman in the shop that Adam was talking to, and then they talked to each other telepathically, and that was it. Oh dear, I'm frustrated. I want a boost to my energy grid, and those two won't release it. Charles is my protector, though, just as you are Mimi's. You have a protector radar somewhere where you can see her condition, but I don't know if you know how to activate it yet. I got Charles's radar active when I put him to protect me, and those two, defend Mimi all the time. Adam said something that Mimi had lost two very important men in her life and she had never talked about how it made her feel. Somehow I got that expression that Mimi won't let herself feel that much."
Damon sighed and said, " Come on, get in bed. No need to think about Mimi or those two. We have each other and that's a lot. As they say in the song. We need to keep fucking. I promised you that you'd get enough at some point. "
