"I want to talk to her." Damon responded without removing his gaze from Kara's sleeping form. She had dark circles under her eyes as she slept in Jame's arms. Damon was not even sparing a glance to James because he knew that the moment he looked at him, he is going to break out in absolute fury.
"She is not available. Get out." James said dismissively and turned around to walk away.
He had taken a couple of steps forward when a hand on his shoulder snatched him back harshly. James turned around without loosening his hold on Kara. Anger was clear in his eyes when he stared at Damon's seething form.
"Don't make me punch you in the face." Damon muttered through clenched teeth and expanded his hands, ready to snatch Kara out of James' arms but James turned sideways, throwing daggers at James with equal hatred.
"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE! I am going to kick you out of here if Kara woke up!"
Damon lifted his hand and pushed James' shoulder with a harsh slap, making him stumble back on his feet and almost fall down, "I don't give a damn!"
Kara woke up from all the voices and commotion. As she opened her eyes, she was faced with James' dark shirt but after turning her head she found Damon standing in front of them. She blinked a couple of times to get out of the slumber and make sure she was not dreaming. 
"Damon...?" she whispered in a groggy voice.
James' arms tightened on her and he immediately turned away ready to walk to the bedroom, "Go back to sleep, baby."
"Let me down." She murmured and struggled in his arms to get down. He didn't let her at first but when she did not stop her efforts, he finally let her down on the ground.
James was still holding her by her waist, not letting her push him aside and walk to Damon.
"I will handle him. Go back to your room." James said in an assuring voice.
Kara ignored him and stepped sideways to walk towards Damon. She had already been dreading seeing Damon again. She was even surprised that it took him so long to come to her. She had been expecting him the very next day of the wedding, or worse, the same day.
"You betrayed me." Damon said as a matter of fact. His eyes stuck on the small woman who was now looking at him with a guilty gaze and fiddling fingers.
"I didn't. You know I did not mean to." Kara said softly. She was afraid of his anger.
"But you did. And you married this bastard who doesn't give a fuck about his whole family's feelings or reputation. What did he give you that I would not have given you?" Damon's words were spoken in a very calm tone, but the anger that simmered underneath those words was hotter than lava.
"I am so sorry." Kara begged and hurried to reach him, "I never mean to hurt you. I did not have a choice." 
Before she could touch Damon's arm, a hand was wrapped around her waist that pulled her back hard, stopping her from reaching Damon.
"Talk from here. Whatever it is." James said indifferently and pulled Kara's back closer to his chest like telling Damon without a word that she belonged to him.
"Give us some privacy!" Kara snapped in anger, 
James smirked and came around to sit on the couch right next to Kara's standing form, "No way in hell, wifey."
Damon's hands immediately clenched tight at James' words and Kara turned her eyes to James, glaring down at him for using the word that she had constantly told him to stop calling her with, especially in front of Damon.
"Stop behaving like a spoilt brat." Kara gritted through clenched teeth, clearly getting tired of his unruly behavior.
"I was never a good one, honey."
By now, Damon had lost all his patience. He clenched his eyes shut and sighed aloud in fury, before opening them again and then moving towards Kara with no regard of James in sight. His hands gripped Kara's shoulders painfully as his troubled eyes found Kara's face and asked, "I am going to take you away, one way or another!"
"BACK OFF!" James snapped, his playfulness had gotten lost already as soon as he had heard the words from Damon's mouth. But Damon ignored him and kept his gaze stuck on Kara,
"Six months, right? This bastard has snatched you away from me for six fucking months? FINE!" his burning gaze dropped to James with a challenge, "remember, she does not fucking love you. You took advantage of the barriers that we had dropped, James. What you did, none of us is going to forgive you." his eyes slid to Kara this time when he murmured, "you are going to be by my side in less than that time. If he can play dirty, I can flip the game as well."
"Damon, calm down." Kara tried to touch his arm but he snatched his arms back, not letting her touch himself,
"Kara, I have endured everything he did since our childhood. I never fought back with him." Damon's eyes suddenly got filled with the pain that he had been trying so hard to hide behind his anger, "he did not have any right to snatch you away from me so ruthlessly. He crossed the limits of my patience. And I am going to do everything in my power to get back to how you and I were supposed to be! You are my love."
