So, I'm sorry for how Silvia reacts, I know she is to nice to do that, but I couldn't think of anyone else who could have done that part, besides she feels like Maerad was her little daughter, would you give your daughter to a guy who's twice her age and like Cadvan ^^

To the grammar and such, english is not my first language and I use ms word which isn't the best thing, since it's correcting things without me wanting it to. I'm sorry.

Weeeell, what else, I will put some more things here that I haven't written in the last chapter..because…well I wanted to write it here ^^ have fun.

Halloween time Cadvans POV

October, 26th

'Cadvan, come here' I heard Dernhils voice coming from somewhere in front of me.

I walked faster so I could reach him before he enters the garden. I looked at him and it was confusing. He looked so young, so strange and calm. And still he was as beautiful as always.

'Look!' he stood at a tree and pulled me on my shirt to him. I looked where he pointed and saw Maerad walking by. 'She's beautiful isn't she?' His voice was so full of love I smiled.

'Yes she is. She's unique. She holds more beauty than everything else I know. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her.'

'You always will protect her Cadvan. I know that. And I know that she will need your protection more than anything in the next days.' He smiled at me and I sighed. 'I love her.' He whispered to me and laughed then. He vanished and suddenly everything was blurry.

I opened my eyes to the darkness in my room. 'Dernhil…' I smiled sadly and stood up to make breakfast for Maerad and myself.

While I was cutting the cheese and bread and putting fruits on a plate I started thinking I love her. More than anything. And I can't tell her. I couldn't take it to be rejected by he. I couldn't take or risk losing our friendship. I sighed and put the food on the table.

I went upstairs to her room and knocked softly before entering it. 'aerad, are you hungry?' I asked as I saw that she was awake 'Breakfast is on the table already and I-' I saw tears glistening on her cheeks and went closer to her 'Is everything alright Maerad?' I asked as I sat down by her side.

'Yes…yes I'm alright, why you ask?' she muttered and I knew she was lying, she rubbed her eyes and as she let her hands fall back onto the bed I placed my hand above hers. 'I'll just get dressed and come out for breakfast' She said and her voice was shaking. I nodded and pulled my hand back slowly before I stood up and left her room again.

I sat at the table and waited for her to come down, thinking about my dream with Dernhil. I looked to the stairs as I heard footsteps. 'Maerad…' I whispered to myself I saw her in that green dress I once bought for her. How can someone be that beautiful? I asked myself and smiled at her as she sat down. So beautiful… I thought again as she smiled at me.

After breakfast I said good bye to her and left. I was walking through the market of Innail looking around. I saw a beautiful necklace with black and red roses which surrounded a small silver heart. It would look good on her I thought and smiled.

'You like that Sir?' The man asked me and I nodded slowly.

'I'll buy it.' I finally said after a few moments thinking.

'Should there be an imprint inside the heart?' he asked and looked at me. I sighed and thought about it a few more moments.

'Yes. It should say I love you with all my heart Maerad. ~Cadvan' I wrote it on a paper and the man nodded.

'It should be finished in 4 or 5 days.' I nodded handed him the gold and left. I headed to Dernhils study without even knowing why. I saw Maerad standing in front of it, one hand at the wooden door.'I miss you so much' I hear her whisper as I went closer to her. I lay a hand on her shoulder, as she turned around I saw that she was crying. I pulled her closer and held her in my arms. I wanted to say something but I couldn't. Seeing her crying was too much. I knew she didn't need me to tell her anything right now and that was a good thing right now. I felt tears welling up in my eyes Maerad, you are so beautiful, you shouldn't need to cry.

As she pulled away I looked into her eyes I tried to smile at her and lifted my hands to her face, holding it, it felt so soft so breakable, I gently wiped her tears away.

'Thank you Cadvan' I heard her whispering. As I wanted to pull my hands away she leaned against my left hand. I smiled softly as I really pulled my hands back. She turned and walked back home.

October 27th

I never went to my room, I just sat in the living room on the floor with one of Dernhils books. Besides the fact that I was scared of what I could dream, I couldn't sleep. So I just sat on the floor the whole night and read this book and thought about Maerad all the time. I barely understood the book because my thoughts and the images of the sleeping Maerad were in my head all the time. Those images always flashed through my head. They kept haunting me. Maerad in her bed with nothing but a white nightgown covering her beautiful pale skin, her hair lying around her head on the pillow, her lips parted slightly. I sighed why can't I get those images out of my head...

Another image was forming in my head, she shifted in her sleep and her nightgown was slowly going up, further and further until I could see the beautiful red underwear with small dark red roses on it. Suddenly her gown vanished and I could see the rest of her red underwear. It looks so delicate. I wanted to sigh but the only noise I was able to make was a low moan. I looked down at my own body and cursed myself for picturing her like that as I saw the bulge in my pants. This time I really sighed, out of pure frustration. I'm a man and I'm strong and I can't even stop thinking about her for one minute.

I heard footsteps on the stairs and tried hard to concentrate on the book. But I just had to look at her 'Good morning Maerad' I stretched my arms out over my head and as I looked over at Maerad again I saw that she was looking at me. My own fault for not wearing a shirt I guess.

'Good morning Cadvan. Did you even go to bed?' She asked softly as I let myself fall backwards and stretched my hands out to both sides. Not something I'd usually do, but I somehow wanted her to look at me, at least it worked. She sat down next to me.

'No.' I simply whispered to answer her question and looked at the ceiling. I couldn't take looking at her. I was scared of myself and what I could do to her.

'Why not?' she asked me and I felt her hand on my chest right above my heart. I looked at her in amusement, at least it worked. I thought again. She wanted to pull her hand back but I placed mine above hers and held it where it was. It felt so good. I knew my heart was racing and I knew she could feel it, but what does it matter? My heart was aching, I wanted to just pull her down and kiss her. But I knew I couldn't do that.

'I wasn't tired and I had…other things to do.' I smiled and saw a white shadow above me, I tried to look closer, It was Dernhils ghost. Not just in my dreams but also here in my house. I heard a strange voice in my head 'She loves you.' I shivered slightly and looked at Maerad.

'For example? Eating mushrooms, drinking ale and reading…what?' She knows to much about me I guess. I thought and smiled at her.

'Quite right. And I was reading one of Dernhils books.' I wanted to let go of her hand. But Dernhils ghost was behind her shaking his head. Unbelievable, I'm trusting a ghost. Something I most likely only think it's there because…why? I have no clue. Am I going insane or something? Again there was his voice 'Tell her to let go of me. Or she'll never be free to be with you.' With that he vanished. I thought about it as I looked at Maerad. She was looking at my body and she blushed. I lifted her hand up to my lips and kissed it lightly, her skin's so soft. 'I know you love him, but you should let go Maerad'

'I don't love him' I looked at her, but I didn't say anything. Why does she say that? We both know it's a lie and not a good one either. 'Why…did he have to die?' I heard her whispering.

'Because he loved you. He would have done anything to protect you.' Just like me I added to myself wishing I could just tell her. But this wasn't normal, my behaviour wasn't normal and hers wasn't normal. But why? I know why I acted strange, I followed the advices of a ghost! And I didn't even know why.

She turned her face away and I captured it with my hands 'Let him go Maerad.' I told her and let go of her again.

I lay there long after she'd left the house. Eventually I stood up and got a black shirt from my room. I closed the buttons carefully and left.

'Cadvan!' I heard Silvia's voice behind me and turned around to wait for her. 'I have a request for you. Could you please help me with my decoration for Halloween today?'

'Yes, I could if you tell me what I'm supposed to do?' I said and smiled at her. Somehow her eyes looked sad. 'What's the matter Silvia?'

'Nothing it's just-'she stopped in the middle of her sentence and stared at me.

'What?' I asked again.

'I miss my daughter and yesterday I had a dream about her. And I…I see her in the Ball room every time I'm there. I just hope she won't be there if I'm not alone. It frightens me to see her ghost and it hurts even more. She even talked to me.' I thought about Dernhil's ghost and nodded slowly. 'She said I should let her go before I hurt the people I love.' Silvia whispered and leaned her head against my shoulder. I held her until she stood straight again on her own. She led me to the Ball room and I saw a big round table with pumpkins on it. Silvia handed me a knife 'I think you know what to make of it. Have fun.' She said and sat down to empty the pumpkins that weren't prepared. I hummed a song while I gave the pumpkins weird faces. Silvia just listened without saying anything.

'Wow what a wonderful work you did Cadvan.' She said as we were finally finished and looked at the 12 pumpkins we made. We placed candles in them and Silvia turned the fire red, green, blue and white before we placed them in front of the house. 'I think I can do the rest of the decoration on my own. I just hope that my daughter won't appear again if I'm alone in there.' She smiled and hugged me 'Good night Cadvan.' She said as I left. It was dark already and I was so tired, I think I should've slept last night…I yawned as I entered my house and fell straight onto the couch and slept.

October 28th

'Cadvan, why can't you tell her that you love her?' I heard Dernhil saying.

'I don't want to hurt her.' I answered him. He smiled at me but his eyes still looked sad.

'Don't be such a coward. I think you'd be surprised by her strength Cadvan.' He said still smiling at me, one of his hands on my shoulder.

'You know her.' I said and looked at the floor beneath us.

'Yes, I do. I know how her hair smells, I know how her eyes are shining when she's reading something, I know how she moves her delicate lips while she's reading to herself, I know how beautiful her whole being is. I also know how she looks at you, I know how she acts around you, I know that she's scared of losing you, scared to disappoint you in any way, scared of telling you about her feelings in fear of rejection and losing your friendship.' He looked at me with so much love, hope and concern in his eyes. 'I studied every little detail about her as I had the time to. I know you are aware of every of those details I just told you.'

'Of course I am aware of all of this. More than I should be. It drives me crazy, to see her everyday, to be surrounded by her beauty and her overwhelming tenderness and not being able to hold her, to kiss her or to at least somehow tell her how I feel.' I whispered to him.

'Cadvan' I heard a distant whisper coming to my ear and I knew it was Maerad's voice. The beautiful, tender, loving, caring and comforting voice of the young woman I love so much.

'You should have more faith in her, my dear friend. Go to my study. ' He said and vanished in front of my eyes.

I slowly opened my eyes and stared into the darkness of my house. I sighed and stood up, washing my face before I dressed again for the day. 'To his study…' I whispered as I checked myself in the big wall mirror in the bathroom. I looked awful, my whole skin was pale and my eyes were looking so tired. I shook my head buttoned up my shirt and headed out to visit Dernhils study.

The door was opened slightly and as I looked inside I saw Maerad on the floor. I opened the door wider to get inside and closed it behind me. I slowly walked over to her and knelt down. I lay my hands on her shoulders and turned her with the most softness, I closed my arms around her 'Why…' was the only thing she said and I had no clue what she could refer to with that word.

'Maerad…' I whispered as I sighed and she looked up to me. I saw the paper in her hand and looked back into her eyes 'You found his letter then?' I asked softly, I had found it over a week ago on his table, and I felt a tear rolling down my cheek as she nodded. I felt her warm and soft hand at my cheek, she was shaking and it felt so wonderful.

'Please don't cry Cadvan.' I tried to smile at her and leaned forward to place a kiss on her forehead.

'You're crying but you still care more about others than about yourself.' I stood up and pulled her with me. I lay one arm around her waist and led her back to my house.

I got some wine for us and we sat on the couch together, talking about Dernhil, about our past, everything that came to our minds apart from my feelings. I couldn't reveal them to her, I thought about the dream and about what Dernhil said a lot, a bit too often I think. I noticed every little thing about her clearly, the way she throws her hair back, the way she talks, the way her hands are gesturing while she speaks, the way her lips are moving and the scent of herbs that was so beautiful around her. Perhaps, I'm not going crazy, I already am a mad man. Thinking about all of this, while she's sitting next to me, talking and smiling and laughing. I sighed, closed my eyes and leaned back all the time listening to her soft voice. I felt her head on my shoulder as the room went silent again. I opened my eyes and looked down at Maerad. Her hand lying on my stomach she looked at it as she whispered 'You think, Dernhil is happy where he is now?' I thought about her question for a moment.

'Well, I think he'd be happier if you were there with him. Just like I'm happy that-'I stopped midsentence and hoped she as too tired to question anything but she looked at me expecting an answer and I whispered gently 'Just like I'm happy that you are still here.' …with me… I added in my mind. I felt her head getting heavier against my chest and I shifted so I was lying on the couch beneath her. I unbuttoned my shirt and dropped it onto the floor. I looked at my pale skin as she lifted her hand up to her head and let it rest on my chest, which has more scars than one wanted to count. 'Maerad…' I sighed and without my willing my hand wandered to her back and stroked it gently as I drifted off into dreamland.

October 29th

I felt hands softly stroking my skin and the tickling feeling of soft hair on my neck just as I opened my eyes I felt her lips on my collarbone. I was surprised to see Maerad above me her soft hair like a curtain in front of her face. As I wanted to say something I felt her lips on mine and I couldn't even think of anything to say anymore, it felt so good. As I opened my eyes a bit I saw that she didn't wear her dress, she was naked just like myself. Her warm skin felt so wonderful, so soft under the touch of my hands. I felt her lips kissing their way down slowly wandering from my lips, over my cheek to my shoulder, it felt so gentle and warm as she kissed my chest so lightly, going further downwards to my stomach and stopping as she was just one kiss away from my pulsing member. I moaned softly and looked at her as she smiled viciously up at me and came back up to my lips and captured them with her own again. I was slowly moving my hips up against her and I felt her smiling into the kiss. As she broke away I looked into her eyes and moaned 'I want you Maerad.' She pressed her lower body against mine and smiled gently and I felt her soft lips even warmer than before on my chest before she vanished in front of me.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Maerad lying on top of me 'Good morning' she whispered, I just nodded and wondered if the last part of my dream was real.

'Good morning' I replied and looked at her, her head resting softly on my chest I smiled and heard a sudden knock on the door just before the door was opened. It was Silvia.

'I just…I just wanted to…wanted to give this to you.' She looked confused at us and handed me a letter. 'I'm sorry I didn't want to interrupt you. I really didn't want to see or know this.' she looked at us and shook her head.

'You didn't interrupt, and there's nothing you didn't need to know. We just fell asleep here yesterday night.' I said calmly and turned to face Maerad I smiled at her comforting as I saw the look in her eyes. 'And if you didn't want to see my bare chest…you shouldn't come in without waiting for an answer to your knocking.' I laughed and took Maerads hand in mine.

'You two…' she grumbled and sighed as she blushed even more. 'Shut up Cadvan you fool.' I laughed as she left without letting me comment on that.

'Not my fault.' I said and absent minded stroked the hair strands out of her face . 'You'll go to Dernhils house today won't you?' I asked and sighed whilst doing so and Maerad nodded before she let her head fall back on my chest.

'Are you hungry?' I heard her asking after a while.

'Yes, but…' I smiled and my fingers traced along her cheek and I forgot completely to go on as I just saw her beautiful face in front of me.

'But?' She asked curios

'Just stay here' I said and held her head in place gently as she wanted to lift it 'Like you are now' I added and closed my eyes.

As I opened them again I found that she was sleeping. It looked so wonderful so delicate her lips were slightly parted, I couldn't keep myself from leaning my head closer to her and my lips met hers in a gentle kiss, just a little kiss and I pulled my head back a bit. I saw that her eyes opened again and she looked at me as if she knew I kissed her. But she didn't look offended, she lowly whispered my name. She tried to stand up, I didn't want her to go away from me and so I tried to hold her back gently, hoping she would just stay here. It seemed to work because she stayed in place.

'Can we just get Dernhil's letter?' she looked up into my eyes.

'We?' I asked curious and was kind of happy that she wanted me to go with her. It was strange that for the past days she was seeking to be near me, all those weeks, months well year before she always wanted to get distance between us when we were to close to each other…I wonder why that is now? And above all I wonder why I let it happen without any question. And Silvia…she acts strange the past days too….Silvia…her daughter's ghost…Dernhils ghost. Silvia acts strange because of her daughter's ghost, I act strange because I listen to what Dernhil's ghost tells me to do. And Maerad…I don't maybe it's because…Which ghost is haunting her? As I heard her voice I stopped thinking about that.

'Would you come with me?' She asked with hope shining in her eyes and I smiled as I nodded. She stood up and waited till I had my shirt on.

We just went to the house to get the letter and went back to mine again. 'By the way, Silvia wanted to invite us to her annual Halloween party. In 2 days.' I said as we were back in my living room and I sat down on the couch where her invitation lay. But Maerad just nodded absent minded and opened Dernhil's letter to read it. I knew what was written in the first one but I didn't know this one, and if she planned on keeping it that way, I won't read it without her permission, it's her letter after all. I just sat there and studied her expression while she read. She closed her eyes and smiled so I just had to smile at her too.

I looked confused at her as she sat down on my lap and hugged me. I put my arms around her waist carefully, she bowed her head to my ear and whispered 'How about…you take your shirt off again Cadvan?' I looked at her and just did what she asked of me without further thinking about it. I dropped the shirt to the floor and I felt her finger on my skin as she moved it gently along my muscles. I let her do it for a while, mostly because it felt good and because I wondered why she did it but after some time I captured her hand and lay down on the couch, pulling her along with me. As we lay there I kissed her hand gently and I wanted to let go, really, but I just couldn't, it felt so good, so right in mine. I felt her other hand on my arm as she stroked it gently.

'May I get some wine for us?' I said to her and she shook her head in answer.

'No, because I don't want to stand up.' She stated and laughed softly. I hummed softly and looked through the room, on the other side of it there was a glowing white figure as I looked closer I recognised that it was smiling, it had a face and it looked very much like Dernhil's handsome face. I noticed his beauty when we were younger pretty often, but I stopped that a long time ago and now…now that he's dead his beauty still remains in my memory. This shining beauty, he would have been a great partner for Maerad, they are both beautiful, gentle, loving and both book loving, willing to learn, learn everything that is written in a book no matter what it is, and writing down everything that isn't written yet. But Dernhil can't do that anymore. But Maerad, she still could, and I…if she could ever love me and be with me, I would take her away from all these things, from learning, from writing and reading. I couldn't possibly do that. But how shall I live without her? The ghost was still present and I looked at him his lips moved 'You love each other, why can neither of you see that?' Is what he said before he smiled and vanished.

October 30th

As I woke up I looked at Maerad's sleeping form, it looked so peacefully as she lay there on my chest. I saw her yawning as she opened her eyes and looked up at me. I bowed my head slightly to place a kiss on her forehead but I met her warm and soft lips. As I pulled my head back she looked at me with wide eyes and I laughed softly.

'We should go and look for costumes today.' I said and she nodded I traced along her face with my finger, lightly wandering over her lips which kissed my finger gently as it came across. 'I'd rather stay here, But I guess Silvia would kill us if we do that and if we won't go to her party.' I sighed in regret, I wish we could stay here, or even better I wish I could make my dream of her come true.

'I know. I'd prefer that too.' She said with a smile 'We shall just hurry. Then we have enough time alone.' I nodded in agreement.

'You want to go now?' I asked and smiled at her.

'Yes, we have the rest of the day off that way.' With that she placed a soft kiss right over my heart and headed for her room.

I went into my own room and put on a fresh black shirt and black pants, both tight fitting and I smiled at my own reflection. I never really liked wearing that tight clothes even though Dernhil once said it looked good on me, but I knew Maerad liked it. I went back down and waited for Maerad. As she came back she smiled as she looked at me, well that smile is worth wearing such uncomfortable pants, at least if they don't get more uncomfortable.

In the costume store I looked at her before searching for something she might like. I laughed softly because of the look on her face before walking to the back of the store where I saw a cute cat costume, and a costume that, if she wore it for me would make my pants more than uncomfortable. I took both out and held it to her 'Cat? Or would you rather like to wear this?' She smiled as she overlooked the cat costume and as I saw her face while she looked at the other I laughed. I simply handed her the cat costume.

'And what will you wear?' She asked.

'I don't know…' I sighed, maybe I should just buy the other one too, just in case…She hurried off and came back with some devil like costume. Black pants with flames on the side. A tight black shirt with flames on it. A black cape that was red on the inside. Well I knew she liked it when I wear tight clothes. She ran to the canes and brought me one, I nodded and paid our things before we left.

'You can go home, I'll be there in a few minutes too.' I said and smiled as she nodded and went home. I went to the jewellery store again and got the necklace I bought for her before heading back home.

I found her sitting on the floor, I bend over her 'How about moving onto the couch? I just bring our things upstairs.' In my bedroom I decided to decorate it a bit, hoping she would agree to sleep here tonight.

After dinner as we were lying on the couch again together I found the chance I was seeking for 'How about sleeping in my bed instead of the couch tonight?' I waited for her answer and as she nodded I lifted her up and carried her upstairs to my room. I let her down in front of my room, the door stood open for her and I smiled as she ran inside to my bed, where the rose lay on the small package where the necklace was in. I felt my cheeks turning red as she opened the box and I slowly went into the room. As I saw the look on her face I was relieved, I came closer to her and opened the heart for her.

After reading the imprint she stood up and hugged me. I pressed her tightly to myself as I whispered into her ear 'I'm a coward, I always wished, I was as strong as you thought I would be, but I couldn't even tell you this.'

I felt her breath at my ear as she whispered back in response 'I'm a coward. I wanted to tell you everyday the last week. But I wasn't strong enough.' She kissed my ear gently and added 'I love you too Cadvan, with all my heart.' We kissed each other passionately and with all the love we've held in ourselves and in our hearts for so long now. It was so much better than I ever dreamed it could be.

When we finally broke apart she looked at me again 'Will you take your shirt off again now?'

She watched as I once again threw the shirt to the floor for her and I pulled Maerad with me onto his bed. I took the necklace from her hand laid it around her thin and pale neck and closed it. I smiled and we kissed us again.

October 31st

I woke up by soft kisses of Maerad 'Good morning my love' I whispered and pulled her onto the bed to kiss her passionately, her dress was very much in the way and I so wanted her. I looked at her with lust filled eyes and saw her look almost the same way back at me. Neither of us heard Silvia enter my room until we heard her voice which stopped us dead in our tracks.

'What do you two think you are doing here?' She looked at us and was bright red in her face. I remembered what she told me about her daughter's ghost. She wouldn't listen to her, like Maerad and I did obviously. And that was a mistake Silvia made. Not that I cared much about that right now. She was interrupting, in a moment she shouldn't even see. Not ever.

'The better question is, what are YOU doing in MY bedroom Silvia?' I was angry at her, even though I knew it wasn't entirely her fault. 'Get. Out. Right. Now.' I said slowly.

'No, I won't' she said with belligerence in her voice and her eyes. This woman must be insane.

'Who do you think you are Silvia? This is my house. This is MY bedroom. You have absolutely nothing to do in here. You didn't even knock and now you are asking me what I am doing? It's none of your business Silvia.' I was scared somehow that Silvia wanted to take 'her beloved daughter' away and so I held Maerad in my arms.

'Cadvan!' Silvia screamed 'You are her teacher.'

'I was. She's not a child anymore AND she can decide on her own what she wants. And if I am what she wants. I'll appreciate that.'

'Maerad, come with me.'

'If you have to say anything, you can do that here. Cadvan will hear it anyway.' She kissed me lightly and I smiled softly at her.

'Maerad…my little girl…you don't really want this. He is older than you and he…he learned from the dark. He is not good for you my child.' She seemed close to tears, and I somehow felt something inside me cracking, it hurt that she said something like that, she never ever dared saying that, like Dernhil she was the only one to never mention it again, but right now…She should just leave no matter if se sees her daughter in Maerad it's not fair what she does.

'Silvia, I know you miss your daughter but…I'm not her. I'll never be her. I'm Maerad. And I…I love Cadvan. No matter what you say, it won't change anything, I know about his past, but I don't care. Everyone makes mistakes, but everyone deserves a second chance. And above all everyone deserves to be loved.' Her voice was calm all the time as she said that and I smiled and sighed in relieve. Silvia smiled softly and nodded. I was glad that she got to an understanding, finally.

'I'm sorry, Cadvan.' She whispered 'I just wanted to tell you that you should be at the ball room tonight at seven.' With that she left. Maerad turned to face me again.

'How can she say something like that?' I whispered and looked into Maerads deep and loving eyes.

'I don't know. She was confused and worried about me. I don't know why she did that to you.'

'She's right. You deserve someone better than me.' I whispered after kissing her gently.

'That's not true. There is no one better than you. No one loves me as much as you do. And I trust and love no other man but you. At least I don't trust them as much as I trust you Cadvan.'

'I don't deserve your trust. I could easily lose the self control I have left…' I pulled her closer to my body and I moved my hips upwards against her'I could take you right now. But you're too important to me. I would never do anything I could lose you for.'

'I got breakfast for us.' She said as she pulled away from me and smiled at me as we ate together.

'I have to go for an hour, well I hope it'll be less but just in case. Will you stay here?' she nodded and smiled as she let herself fall onto her back and on the bed. I kissed her again and got dressed fully before I left my house.

'Silvia, I have a request to ask of you.' I said as I sat in Silvias house.

'Which would be?'

'I want to…you want me and Maerad to play tonight and I want to ask her if she wants to marry me. Will you allow me to do that on stage then?' I asked her and saw the look of worry in her eyes. 'She's not your daughter Silvia you know that, why do you act like this?'

'I don't know, every time I see her ghost…it just makes me sad and I can't listen to her, I can't do what she wants of me.'

'You can. I know that.' She sighed softly.

'I'll try…' she finally said and I nodded as I drank the rest of my wine and left the house to go back to mine.

I went to my bedroom again and I found Maerad sitting on my bed. She looked up at me and blushed 'What did we do here yesterday?' She asked softly.

'Sleeping, most likely.' I said softly and I felt her head shifting, she looked up at me and kissed me, throwing me onto my back as she did. 'You do know that we have to go to Silvias party, right?'

'I don't care' she whispered and I saw the same lust and need in her eyes as I felt in my heart and she opened the buttons on my shirt.

'You do know we have lots of time after Silvias party.' I tried again half-hearted, I didn't really want her to stop.

I felt her lips slowly kissing along my chest, her tongue leaving a warm, wet trail behind while her hands unbuttoned my pants gently moving it down as she went further down but stopped at the hem of my shorts.

I moaned softly as I felt her hands sliding along my sides. I looked at her disappointed as I couldn't feel her soft, warm hands on my skin anymore, but I just smiled as I saw that she opened her dress and stood up to let it fall to the floor. Just in her black (Wasn't it used to be red? Guess she liked black more since she loved it on me so much) underwear she sat on my lap again and bent forward to kiss me again I gently let my hands wander around her bare skin gently stroking over her breasts and down her stomach. I felt her hips slowly and lightly moving on me and another moan escaped my lips. 'You are so beautiful Maerad.' I whispered and opened her bra to throw it to the other clothes on the floor. She kissed down my chest again and stopped at my stomach to look at me before she placed tender kisses on my hard on and licked the top of it slowly and gently with her tongue she smiled as I moaned and crawled back up to kiss my lips again , pressing her body against mine. Her skin was so warm, almost burning against mine. 'I want you Maerad…' I moaned as she pressed herself even more against my hard member.

'Then take me Cadvan my love.' She whispered into my ear and I carefully changed our places so she was lying beneath me. I got rid of the last clothes that were remaining on her and gently stroked her soft skin, letting my hand slide between her legs, stroking and teasing her lightly until she moaned and pressed me against herself. I kissed her as I slowly thrust into her going faster with every moan that escaped her lips. I kissed her gently and passionately and I felt her nails softly scratching my back and her hips moving up and down matching my rhythm perfectly. Her cheeks were read as we both almost screamed each others names as we climaxed.

'Maerad you're so beautiful.' I whispered as I rolled to the side and lay on my back, my head close to her heart which I could hear clearly was racing.

I could hear her breathing deeply and exhausted. 'You're gorgeous Cadvan.' She whispered something I couldn't hear at all but it had something to do with a ghost, and I remembered instantly my thought about those ghosts that were haunting us all for the past days. She looked at me and whispered softly 'You taste so wonderful.' She smiled and her cheeks reddened even more. I kissed her gently instead of thanking her.

'We should get our costumes and get dressed now I think.' I mumbled after a while and she nodded in agreement and stood up. Her inner thighs were shimmering whitish in the dim light of my bedroom. I stood up and led her to the bathroom, letting water flow into the bathtub. As it was filled with water and foam she crawled into the warm bathtub and looked at me lovingly. I smiled as she took my hand crawled into the bathtub to her and sat down behind her.

She turned her head and looked into my eyes 'I want to taste you again Cadvan.' She whispered shyly.

I just laughed softly 'Not now. I'm sure there'll be much time later.' She sighed but nodded in agreement.

As I stood up and climbed out I helped her out too and handed her a towel. She smiled viciously and pressed me against the wall. I looked at her surprised as she slowly slid down with her tongue on my skin and removed the towel I had around my waist. 'Maerad, don't…ahhh' I moaned softly as I felt her lips closing around my hard on and sucking it greedily 'Oh Maerad…' I moaned and gently massaged her shoulder. I pressed my head even harder against the stone wall. Her hot breath as she moved back made it almost unbearable. Her tongue swirling around it. My vision was blurry as I came in her mouth and when I looked down at her and helped her to stand up I saw a trail of the sticky whitish liquid from her lips to her chin. I softly licked it away with my tongue and kissed her passionately. I fastened my towel around my waist again and took water to clean Maerad's beautiful face. She smiled as we went back to my bedroom and dressed for Silvia's Halloween party.

I looked at Maerad as I was finished, she was just wearing her skirt and shirt, but her underwear was still on the bed I smiled as I walked closer to her. She looked up at me and I kissed her forcing her to lie down on her back I let myself fall down to my knees and lifted her legs up gently, letting them rest on my shoulders, I stroked her legs and moved her skirt upwards, her pale skin looked so beautiful, I kissed her inner thighs gently and kissing her gently between her legs, holding one of her legs up with one hand parting her slightly with the fingers of my other hand as I licked her gently and sucked softly on the sensitive skin I slowly moved one of my fingers in and out of her and I heard her low moans in my ears, such a wonderful sound that was. I felt her muscles tightening around my finger as she came and smiled as I adjusted her skirt again and kissed her tenderly before whispering against her lips 'I guess you taste even better than me.' She laughed softly before I went to the bathroom to wash my hands again.

As I came back she was finished dressing up and looked at me, her cheeks had still a pink tone on them. I smiled and kissed her again before we left and went to Silvia's party.

I got us something to drink and talked to Silvia a bit before going back to Maerad.

'Silvia asked me to play some music. Would you come with me?' She nodded and I went to the stage with her.

As we were finished I stood up and went to Maerad to take her hand in mine.

'Maerad, I wanted to ask you something.' The whole room was quiet and I think everyone could hear my heart beating. 'Will you marry me?' She smiled at me as she answered.

'Yes, of course I will Cadvan.'

I smiled at her and kissed her 'I love you Maerad.' I whispered only for her to hear.
