though this will eventually be a Delena fic, at the moment our hero needs a much needed break! As such, Damon travels to New Orleans where mysterious gypsy vampires and life or death incidents will push him to the extreme and challenge the power of his heart... I look forward to any and all comments as I hit the road :) **warning for later lemons**

**UPDATE:: OMG New Chapters! Is this story back? Find out!** Does Kouga have a chance at finally showing Kagome what it means to be loved when they spend a week together traveling back from the frozen Northern lands? will Kagome recognize her hearts deepest wish? **so much more going on in this story then the tag line suggests, but you'll have to peek inside to find out what!

it's a lazy afternoon that catches Damon snoozing under a patch of sunlight, but it's an exquisitely long and delicious evening that will be spent worshiping the woman he loves just 'cause he can... WARNING... contents within are under high pressure and could explode at any moment. You have been warned.
