My favorite so far. Enjoy and please review!
"Best sex you've ever had?"
He looks up from his old book of poems and at his "girlfriend"—how he hates that term, incredulously.
"Is that a serious question?"
She laughs.
"It's not a trick question, if that's what you mean. I'm not oblivious to the fact that you had a thousand years worth of sex before me. And once a year is pretty prudish to me, and you are not a prude, so it's safe to assume that you've had well over a thousand partners. Right? And I'm good enough in bed to acknowledge the fact that out of a few thousand there had to be lays better than me." She says smilingly.
He is looking at her wide-eyed. A cocktail or annoyance, disbelief and, of course, love in his eyes.
"Caroline." He reprimands.
"Seriously, this isn't a trap. You know that I want to know everything there is to know about you. You can even think of this as a milestone, I'm comfortable enough with you to talk about your past sexual encounters."
"No. Stop with the word vomit." He insists vehemently.
She looks at him, surprised.
"Why are you so offended by this? You know all of my past partners and there aren't even much of them to begin with. Shouldn't this be a sensitive topic for me?" She questions hysterically. Him not wanting to share information was making her feel both anxious and hurt.
"I'm offended because obviously you don't take me seriously."
"What?" She quickly retorts. She gears up to make a strong rebuttal but he cuts her off before she can even begin.
"When I say you're the best I've ever had, I mean you're the best relationship, best friend, best everything but also the best I've ever had. How could you even doubt that? Do you mean to tell me these past years, you've thought it to be a fact that in the back of my mind there was anyone at all to compare to you?" He says disappointment and frustration evident in his tone and facial expression.
"It sounds bad when you put it that way…. But pretty much, yeah." She replies, treading lightly.
He vanishes before her. Suddenly she's on his lap and his lips are everywhere. On her cheeks, her hair, her neck, and in the space between her breasts exposed by her deep v blouse; it happens all at once and ends just as swiftly. He levels his head with hers, her face flushed and her breathing labored.
"Before I had even met you, those women were nothing to me." He starts.
She smiles softly. "I know that but this question isn't about feelings-"
He cuts her off.
"I know. Sweetheeart, please let me finish." She smiles remorsefully and playfully pushes her lips together tightly, showing him her willingness to comply.
He laughs and kisses her mouth.
"As I was saying, those women were nothing to me before I had even met you. They were as mundane as the people I took blood from. They supplied a need of mine, and did so enjoyably, more often than not, but I felt nothing for them. Even Tatia, was all about competition and I believed myself to be in love because I hadn't known what love was. I was the bastard boy and to win something from Elijah - well, that was what I coveted. Not her. I went on for a thousand years, not really knowing what love was, what it felt like- until I met you. And yes, being in love with you does make the sex exponentially better. But trust me when I say that even without the factor of love, a factor that never existed in my trysts before I met you, you are by far the best. I cant even look at other women now and feel attraction. Believe me. I burn for you, Caroline." He finishes strongly.
"Here." He says, guiding her hand to his heart.
"But also very much here." This time guiding her hand down to his crotch.
This time she kisses him everywhere. Speechless.
He pulls away and she huffs in frustration.
"Promise me you'll forget about them. The 'other women'. They were nothing to me before but when I met you I forgot about every single one of them. If I could have had you these past thousand of years, there wouldn't have even be any of them to forget. It's only you for me. Now and forever."
She smiles, looking into his eyes. Her hands in his hair and her heart about to explode.
"I promise. I love you."
