AN: (((APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG, BUT NECESSARY AN))) REVISED! Okay, I've finally decided to re-write this story and I'm so excited! I wrote this a long while back and I've changed so much as a writer since then and going back, reading this I see everything I know I can do better now. I see how some of the content is somewhat bland and you can tell I was in the ninth grade when I wrote it. There is so much more I want to put into this one and its sequel and there is so much left out so here I go, wish me luck! (And I wanna give a great thank you to all of the reviews that have helped me see my errors along the way. I would love to thank everyone personally but I still have dial up which means limited internet time.) One more thing also: I HAVE NOT READ ANY BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE FANFICTIONS IN A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME SO I WILL STATE THIS ONCE: ANYTHING IN THIS STORY THAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED PLAGARISM BY ANOTHER AUTHOR IS NOT INTENTIONAL. I WILL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF ANYTHING MAY SEEM THIS WAY AS I WOULD SLAUGHTER SOMEONE IF THEY PLAGARIZED ME. IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY MESSAGE ME AND WE WILL DISCUSS ANY ACTION I COULD DO TO CHANGE THAT BUT I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT THERE IS NO INTENTIONAL PLAGARISM IN THIS STORY AS I WROTE THIS A LONG TIME AGO, I AM JUST ELABORATING ON THE DETAILS. ONCE AGAIN I WILL STATE THAT I HAVE NOT READ ANY BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE FANFICTIONS IN AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME (PLAN TO CHANGE THAT THOUGH.)
Well we all know I own nothing of Blood and Chocolate but one can dream 'eh? Lol. I only own any OC's that are on here, mwhahahah! Okay, so this is my first 'Blood and Chocolate' fanfiction, it isn't my first fanfiction though. Well anyways, although I am incredibly peeved at how they butchered the movie compared to the book, go buy the soundtrack album. It's worth it, and it's where I got the song lyrics 'Stripped' by 'Shiny Toy Guns.' for this chapter. Read, review, and I really hope you enjoy this edited version better than the last, cause that would make me very sad. ='(
Come with me into the trees,
The night was an alluring temptress beckoning the two figures on as they sprinted through the trees on four paws. One was a shadow, black as midnight with eyes aflame with the thrill of what was to come. The other was white as an angel, graceful and elegant as she leapt across the river, teasing the other. They completed each other, night and day, sun and moon, and it was only until that moment's realization that Vivian saw just how much Gabriel completed her. Aiden had nothing on this. The scents that came to their canine noses, the bright wolfen night-vision, and the air hitting their long jaws were a wonderland and suddenly she was Alice. Faintly Vivian thought of chasing a bunny for the hell of it.
Running with Gabriel by her side was bliss unlike any other. She had spent so much time pining over the past as most teenagers do, that she didn't stop to think of the present, of what she could still have. This was her life now, not that simple minded, scarcely furred, human boy that had broken her heart. Why hadn't she seen this before?
Because you didn't want to, because you didn't want to give in, Vivian thought and with a howl of delight she charged onward, making the shadow that was Gabriel quicken his own paws.
Vaguely Vivian recalled running ahead of Aiden on their way to the fireworks show, he had been slow and clumsy, sweating profusely as he had struggled to clear the fence that she had cleared without so much as a grunt. Now Gabriel ran alongside of her, matching her strides with his own, playing her game. He was large and powerful, complimenting her sleek grace as they ran through the trees.
Gabriel howled and sped up in front of her, his black fur almost lost among the trees while Vivian was glowing like a beacon. She nipped his muzzle affectionately and he growled playfully.
Onward they went, until the pair reached a meadow bathed in sweet moonlight, where the grass grew above their heads and a river trickled to their left. Vivian sauntered over to a spot just beneath the moon, where the grass was softer, more forgiving, and wagged her tail, turning her muzzle to wink at her almost-mate.
Slowly the sweet change crept over her and then she was laid bare with the soft grass as a bed. Gabriel padded over to her, his canine eyes regarding her intently, and stood over her as the change swept over him.
A slow grin crept over Vivian's face as Gabriel's form shifted. He went from wolf to man, muscles bulging and protruding, sleek body gaining height, handsome scarred face becoming apparent and Vivian's nipples tightened at the sight of this large male laid above her. Desire pooled in her stomach, stronger than it had ever dared to be with Aiden. Here she could be herself, all of herself.
We'll lay on the grass
and let the hours pass,
Gabriel bent his head to taste her lips and she wanted to devour every inch of him. She writhed up and bit into his shoulder where he cried out in pained pleasure as she then dug her nails into his back, clawing him. Vivian found herself thinking, why had I resisted him so many times and now he is all I see?
Take my hand
come back to the land,
Shifting his weight ever so slightly he placed his hand behind Vivian's head grasping her hair in his fist, holding her head to him as he tasted her again. The spicy dark smell of him had Vivian shuddering in wondrous delight. Vivian gave herself away to her desire to shift at different intervals, recalling Gabriel's words 'You are beautiful in anything you wear.' Aiden couldn't do this; he would have never been able to make her feel this way, so unafraid, so naked.
Gabriel howled above her and soon Vivian's alto joined his bass and they sang a song only their kind would know. This was theirs, everything around them belonged to them and as mates they claimed it with their haunting melody, the both of them shifted in between both skins.
Let's get away
just for one day.
Vivian's golden eyes met Gabriel's blazing one's, how could she have hated him so much before? She didn't want this night to end, she was afraid it would all disappear in a dream and she would wake again, stuck. One thing she did know she could claim reality of was that Aiden had held back on one very important thing and Vivian was going to have it.
Let me see you
stripped down to the bone,
Gabriel dipped his head down to trace sweet, hot kisses down the beautiful curve of her neck, then along her shoulders, stopping at her collarbone, following it with his lips, tongue and teeth. His hands rested on the grass on either side of her shoulders. Vivian was growling in anticipation.
Let me hear you
speaking just for me.
"Are you still unsure of me Princess Wolf?" Gabriel growled low and seductive as his lips moved to her chest, sending sparks of heat shooting throughout her body, "or shall I call you Queen Wolf?"
Vivian grinned devilishly, whispering, "you can call me anything you want, just make me yours."
The growl that erupted in him was one of desire and it started low so she could feel it vibrate his chiseled chest and Vivian sighed in contentment, truly happy for the first time in ages.
Let me see you
stripped down to the bone,
Gabriel knotted circles in her tawny hair as she stroked his back, feeling of his large muscles, pulsing with wild life beneath her fingertips. He traced his fingertips from her neck to her toes, taking in the sight that he had waited so patiently for, and taking his time where it mattered. He nipped her shoulders gently, and his lips met hers once more, the both of them reveling in the awoken desire that had surged itself so completely to the forefront of their minds.
Let me hear you
crying just for me,
"What do you think of me now Vivian Gandillon?" Gabriel asked with a smirk crossing his lips that Vivian immediately had to trace with her slender fingers. He then cupped her ass with one of his powerful hands. Vivian had to admit that he was still large, powerful, overwhelming, and that still unnerved her although she would never let him know it. Now that power turned towards her in a new way, protectively, with intent to claim her as his own.
Vivian shuddered in delight and that was his answer.
Let me hear you
make decisions
without your television,
"You know what duties you must face by taking me as a mate?" Gabriel asked huskily as he bit down her body, his bites becoming more animalistic as he went. His arousal was overwhelming and welcome as Vivian took it in, howling in happiness.
She answered him by baring her neck and stomach to him in a very wolf-like manner, and as she gazed up at that powerful creature, that beautiful feral man, she knew that she had made the right choice. He completed her unlike any other male could dare to dream.
Let me hear you speaking
just for me.
"Make me yours, Gabe." Vivian whispered huskily into his ear, and then nipped his earlobe and rested her head into his shoulder.
Gabriel nodded, his blue eyes on fire with desire, excitement, and something else Vivian couldn't quite place, "become my mate for life."
Metropolis
has nothing on this,
They made love, then, as both human and wolf, the both of them finally experiencing what it was like to give one's self completely over to someone, body and soul, baring everything and still being accepted as vital to the other.
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss,
Afterwards, as they lay tangled in each other's limbs she met his lips, and opened her mouth willingly to her new mate, taking in his hot, spicy breath that smelled of the wild and of home. Her thoughts went fleetingly back to when Esme had flaunted herself for him and Vivian almost laughed when she realized that she now understood her mom's unhealthy attraction to this feral wolf-man.
Take my hand
come back to the land
where everything's ours
for a few hours.
Vivian finally had what she had been yearning for from Aiden, but this held so much more in it, so much more promise for the future; a true mate whom she could always bare herself completely to as girl and wolf.
Let me see you
stripped down to the bone,
let me hear you
speaking just for me,
let me see you
stripped down to the bone,
let me hear you
crying just for me.
Let me hear you
make decisions
without your television;
let me hear you speaking
just for me.
