Chapter 4—Our home

First I'd like to thank UnicornGirly109, HotWolfGirl, and Janetria for reviewing for Her Angel, Her Monster. Don't worry HotWolfGirl; my stories don't end because it's an ongoing sequel. The order so far is "Getting to know you" then "Her Angel, Her Monster," and then the fanfic about Bucky and Jenny, which I know most are really looking forward to, by the way suggestions for a title, would be awesome. So have no fear, my fanfics never end!

Then I'd like to thank vballfanatic, Mrs. Dom Masbolle, sexydreamer, LukeNLorelai637, heartbreakerginny, Davidian, gir29, Slytherinbabe05, and SweetHeart27 for reviewing the last chapter, you guys ROCK!

And on a little side note for myself, my braces are off! HOORAY!

On to the story, I don't own Blood and Chocolate or "All My Love" by Led Zeppelin.

Esme watched as Vivian and Gabriel put their bags into his motorcycle's travel cases. She leaned back in her rocking chair on the porch listening to her daughter talk with her mate softly. Esme smiled at the site, she was glad Vivian got Gabriel. Esme was happy with Tomas and they were more than likely to be together for a long time. Tomas had been trying his best to talk to Vivian, and one good days' she would respond.

Then as if on cue, Tomas came out with two glasses of iced tea and gave one to Esme then sat in the opposite rocking chair.

"There goes your little girl, moving in with her mate." He took Esme's hand watching as Vivian and Gabriel stood beside the motorcycle, their arms wrapped around each other. "But we'll see them in three weeks." He squeezed her hand.

"Which means you and I have some alone time." Esme leaned over and kissed her mate.

From the driveway Vivian looked over. "Blech, don't they ever stop?" she nodded towards Esme and Tomas. Gabriel only spared a glance at the other couple before turning back towards Vivian.

"You'll get used to him baby. Granted no one will ever be your father, but Tomas cares for you. And you'll always have me to look after you."

Vivian smiled up at him and then kissed him. "I'm so ready to go." She wrapped her arms around his waist, and he did the same, pulling her against his body.

"What do you want to do when we get there? I wanted to get some food after unpacking our things."

"I guess we could check out the town," then she stood on her toes and one of her hands dropped to the front of his hip, "but I had a few ideas for when we get there." She watched as the corners of his mouth turned up slowly and he quickly licked his upper lip.

"You know if you keep that up, your completely responsible for what I'll do next." He chuckled.

"Maybe I shouldn't stop then." She moved her hand closer to a certain region.

"Not unless you want to do it right here?" Gabriel whispered in her ear.

"I'm good. But after we get all our food and stuff, I want you." Then she pulled away teasingly and walked inside smiling at Esme and Tomas.

Fifteen minutes later, they said their goodbyes to everyone in the house. Vivian had an extended goodbye with Rudy since he was to stay here. They hugged, and Vivian got a little teary eyed.

At 6: 45 they left home, setting out for the highway on the motorcycle to leave Maryland forever. They passed through New Jersey, took a stop Vivian turned to Gabriel quoting a movie: "Why is New Jersey called the Garden State?"

"Beats me, why?"

"You can't fit "Oil and petrochemical refinery state" on a license plate." (A/n: no I don't own the rights to Miss Congeniality).

They reached northern Pennsylvania around 12:00 and stopped for lunch.

Vivian got off the bike and stretched her back then went inside the rest stop with Gabriel. He led her to the Starbucks so he could get a large coffee and bought her some lunch. (A/N: Yes he wants coffee in the afternoon. A little side note, driving up north on a bus sucks! I had 6 pills of Dramamine going and returning from NEW YORK! Just thought I'd throw that out. Yeah it sucked.)

Gabriel filled up his tank while Vivian used the bathroom, and having finished his coffee in five minutes, he did the same. Vivian was waiting for him beside his bike, sunglasses on and jacket on the bike. He came up to her hyped up on caffeine. "Ready to go?"

"Yep, want me to drive?" she joked.

"Sure," he played along, and tossed her the keys. "Lets see you start it up." He was being arrogant yes, but she knew there was no way he'd let her drive his motorcycle until they had like a month to work on it.

She threw back the keys to him laughing "ass." She said affectionately, and then kissed him. They left the rest stop and around three they pulled into New York and crossed hours later through finally to Vermont.

It was around 6: 30 when they were nearing the Green Mountain National Forest. They moved onto West Hill Road and as they drove over the hills the tree line came into view.

Vivian looked over Gabriel's shoulder at their destination, the cool mountain air whipped into her nose. She squeezed his middle in anticipation as they neared their land.

Gabriel slowed as they came to the green tree-lined gravel driveway. Vivian looked up and around them as they scaled the hill, the birds twittering at the roar of the engine. She saw rabbits scurry and could smell a garden in the distance. She hugged Gabriel from behind as they neared the four-story brick house. The front lawn expanded about 70 feet in width. The inn was beautiful; it took Vivian's breath away the moment she got off the bike. She pulled off her helmet and shook her hair, slowly walking up the vast porch. She ran her palms over the smooth columns, looked down at the cool brick floor and then she went to the edge of the porch.

Across the yard a large pond resided with ducks and a place to tie canoes up. Vivian ventured back to the yard, and found a garden near the pond, where the trees didn't block the sun. It was so vast, and across from it were two long permanent rows of cold frames. Gabriel came up behind her, and took her hand to lead her inside the house. He smiled at her awe, and his heart pounded at her acceptance of their home. "Our home" he said to her and she smiled up to him.

He opened the front door and swung it open leading her inside. Before she could step inside he picked her up bridal style and carried her in. She laughed and kissed him.

"Every girl needs to be carried by her mate into their new home." He remarked and put her down.

The floors were dark oak, the walls white and pristine. Gabriel led her to the living room, the furniture covered in white sheets, and in the corner was a piano. On the walls were candleholders, and a chandelier hung from the molding in the ceiling. She put her hands to her mouth; taking in the sight then went through the foyer to where the reception desk was. It had the traditional slots behind the desk.

The kitchen stood on the other side of the house and Vivian found her way to the stairs. She ran her hand up the oak banister as Gabriel followed close behind. His fingertips trailed down her thigh as they climbed to the second floor. She came to one of the windows and looked out at the back yard. A large patio stretched out to the yard. She turned to Gabriel suddenly as he stood rubbing her back.

"I want to see our room." She ran her hand up his chest. "This house is beautiful."

"Do you know how long I've waited for you to use 'our'?"

"No I don't, but I'm sure it's been a long time. And I couldn't ask for a better man than you." She stood on her toes and wrapped her hands around his neck. He lifted her off her feet and kissed her deeply.

"Let's go see 'our' room then." She let him pull her to their master bedroom. A king sized bed stood across from the French doors that exited to the outside. She turned to a fireplace and then returned to the bed. Gabriel leaned inside the door jam, smiling as his girl turned around the room. She went to the walk-in closet and turned around then came back out. She crossed the room to the bathroom, which had been modernized and a large tub took up a decent deal of the room. Vivian sat on its edge and looked to Gabriel coming in.

"Have any ideas?" she said as she ran her hand along the porcelain, and bent over far enough so that Gabriel could get a glimpse down her shirt.

"Mmhmmm." He drew out and moved towards her. "You know this bathtub is big enough for two." He pushed her back and kissed her slowly, his hands exploring. She reached to his thigh and pushed her hand slowly towards his hip.

He pulled his mouth away and he took a minute to regain his breath.

"Should-should we continue this now, or, or what do you want to do?" he stuttered and felt Vivian rest her hand over a certain tightness.

"Later, I suppose…" She kissed him again, and then wrapped her arms around him. "But I am ready for you." She whispered in his ear.

He pulled her to her feet and stood behind to let himself calm down as she went to the French doors. She stepped out onto the wrap around and looked out to the woods, which took her breath away. Gabriel came out to her and wrapped her in his arms.

She laughed suddenly and remarked "Gabriel this is wonderful, no one can find us here."

"This is all for you." He kissed her neck, "I want nothing more than to make you happy."

"You already have, and this time that we're together I want to know more about you."

Later they went into town. The heat down in the town was not overbearing but still very warm. They twined their fingers together as they went inside the grocery store and picked up a two weeks supply of food which they loaded onto his motorcycle with difficulty but where able to take back home. They unloaded their stuff into the refrigerator. The whole kitchen was gigantic; it fit three stove/ovens, multiple counter space and two refrigerators.

They fixed burgers and took them the patio out back. They pulled their chairs across from each other, Vivian's toes against his bare calves as she watched him eat. The sun was still out, but slowly setting.

Vivian put her plate on the table beside her then stretched and licked her fingers. Gabriel had finished his burger before her and had his head leaned back, half asleep. Both were exhausted and ready to sleep, they had only gotten around to putting sheets on their bed before dinner. Vivian yawned and propped her feet onto Gabriel's lap. He rubbed one foot after the other for her as she reclined.

"I really want to take a nice long bath." She said as Gabriel continued to rub her feet.

"Do you think that bath could include me?"

She looked up at him and chuckled. "I think it can." She held her arms out to be picked up. He lifted her effortlessly and cradled her in bridle style.

"I think I can get used to this," she said as he carried up the two flights of stairs to their bathroom. He placed her in the bathroom and slowly started to take off her shirt. She held her arms up as he kissed her collarbone, her neck, and then her mouth. She pulled his shirt off when they parted for air and dragged her hands down his eight pack to his belt buckle, which she slowly unbuckled and then she slowly unzipped his pants.

She then pulled away as he stepped out of his shorts and started the bath, pouring in shampoo to make bubbles. When she looked back up at him his eyes were full of longing. She pulled his hands to her jeans and let him undo them. When they were fully undressed they crawled inside the warm water, sitting opposite from each other. Vivian leaned back as Gabriel turned off the water.

He came to her, his mouth gracing hers as he caressed her. She pulled him towards her as she soaped up his back and ran her wet fingers through his dry hair. She moaned his name against his mouth as they washed each other. She soaped up his hair and nibbled his neck.

He held her tight in his arms, rubbing her back and thighs with the soap, rejoicing in the moment. He felt completely in love with Vivian. He kissed her slowly as she kissed him back. She lay completely against him, her arms laced around his neck.

They lay together in the warm water for half an hour just exploring the other. Vivian rested her head on his chest. She was falling fast for Gabriel, and felt a connection deeper than that with Aiden.

She propped herself on his chest, looking into his eyes. He smiled to her.

"Gabriel," she whispered and touched his face with her wet hand.

"Yes darling?" he tightened his grip on her.

"I want us to go running tomorrow, can we?"

"Of course baby." He pushed her back the to other side of the tub, his hands following. His hands dragged up her ribcage onto her breasts. He started off softly, and with encouragement from Vivian kneaded harder.

Her breath caught in throat when he lowered his mouth to her body, his tongue barely touching her skin. She moaned which caused him to gently bite the top of her breast.

A few moments later they rinsed off and Gabriel pulled Vivian out of the tub. After they got dressed, Gabriel only settled for his boxers and Vivian just a tank top and her underwear they crawled into their new king sized bed. He took her brush from the side table and ran it through her hair. A cool breeze fluttered through the opened French doors, Gabriel put the brush down and pulled her under the thin sheet. She cuddled against him and listened to his steady breathing as they fell asleep.

They slept till noon the next day, and got up slowly, but fully reenergized.

Vivian stretched and literally rolled off the bed, taking the covers with her. Gabriel awoke at the thud and rolled over to see Vivian on the floor rubbing the back of her head. He slid off the bed on top of her. She gasped and then yawned, wrapping her arms around him.

He pulled her head into his hands and kissed her deeply. They went downstairs to eat and once down, the Change came upon them.

Their bones and bodies shifted as they changed out in the open and raced to the woods, Gabriel beating Vivian.

They zipped past the gardens and leaped over a small stream into the denser part of their land.

Vivian caught the scent of a stag and barked at Gabriel to follow her. He turned from his path and followed her, and then as they neared they're prey they split to corner it.

A snarling Vivian quickly cornered the fearful stag. She took in the stag's large antlers and wondered how to avoid them. Vivian circled the stag she knew Gabriel would be hiding until the right moment, and knew that he was upwind from the stag.

The stag charged Vivian who ducked just in time before it kicked her. She grabbed its ankle with her teeth and tried to jerk it down. She dragged it across the ground and then let it go. She bit its flank and then pulled away again.

Gabriel burst out of the bushes and pounced onto the stags back. The beast reared its antlers as it cried out and tried to throw Gabriel off its back. Gabriel had his front claws imbedded deeply into the flank as his jaws latched onto its neck. Vivian pounced again and ripped out its throat. They killed it quickly and began to feed. Vivian moved aside for Gabriel, and when he saw this he ripped off a large chunk of the better meat and set it at her feet. He licked her muzzle as she went to eat. Gabriel ate his own share. They left the scraps for any foxes that might come around with its kits.

With full bellies they took their time returning home. Every once in a while Gabriel would reach over and tug at Vivian's ear playfully and she would lick his muzzle. Then he set off in front of her, his tail whipping through the air. Vivian chased after him and then pounced.

She knocked him down and they rolled in the tall grass. She landed on top of him and pulled at the scruff of his neck. He pushed her over and play fought with her. They pulled away panting in the hot summer air. They drank form the stream and eventually made their way back home. On the front lawn they picked up their clothes and went to the shaded patio to relax.

It was now 2 in the afternoon and the heat was at its highest.

"I wish we had a swimming pool." She sighed and reclined on the patio couch.

"Well, we could go back to that stream, if you want."

"Nah, its too far." she closed her eyes.

Gabriel stared intensely at Vivian; he felt a burning need to have her right then. He slowly got up from his seat and sat beside her hip on the metal cool metal couch.

She opened her eyes to him when he sat down, his hands rubbing her legs. She whispered his name and her ran his fingers against her cheek. She scooted up and put her legs off the side of the furniture.

Suddenly she grabbed his sides, tickling him. She hit the right spot and it paralyzed Gabriel, and then she tickled him under his arms. His booming laughs made Vivian tickle him harder and then she ran away. She raced back to the house and once Gabriel could catch his breath he ran after her.

She made it around to the front door, saw him circling the front of the house and then she squealed and ran inside. She was at the top of the first flight of stairs when she heard him coming so she hid in one of the rooms at the end of the hall.

Gabriel burst up the stairs in pursuit of his beloved.

"Here comes the big bad wolf." He called and started to look into the rooms. He caught her scent at the end of the hall.

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the night?

To chase a feather in the wind

Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight

There moves a thread that has no end.

Vivian squeezed herself into a closet as she heard him approach. She put her face over her hands when she heard his playful call. She heard his footsteps come outside of the room she was hiding in, and then turn away.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon

The tides have caused the flame to dim

At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom

Is this to end or just begin?

Gabriel figured out where Vivian was, and was sure that he heard her, so he played along and moved to the end of the hallway knowing that she would come to him out of curiosity. He hid in one of the rooms.

All of my love,

all of my love,

All of my love to you now.

Vivian eventually ventured out of the room, sniffing for Gabriel, when she passed by his room he jumped out and grabbed her. She laughed and wriggled out of his arms, running up the stairs again. Gabriel followed close behind and captured her halfway up the stairs, pressing her to the steps as he kissed her.

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again

One voice is clear above the din

Proud Arianne, one word, my will to sustain

For me, the cloth once more to spin

She pulled him on top of her and after many minutes of heated kissing she slipped out of his grasp and zipped up the rest of the stairs out of his sight. Gabriel pursued, eager to continue this cat and mouse game.

All of my love,

all of my love,

All of my love to you now.

Vivian jumped Gabriel when he got to the second story, she surprised him and knocked him to the floor and then ran. He called to her and finally caught her…in their bedroom…on their bed.

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time

His is the force that lies within

Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find

He is a feather in the wind

She lay on the bed waiting for him, a long sexy smile on her face as she stretched out for him. His heart began to pound as he stood looking at her.

All of my love,

All of my love,

All of my love to you now.

Sometime, sometime, oh oh

Sometime, sometime, oh oh,

Hey hey hey, hey, hey, hey

Ooh oh yeah

Its all all all of my love

All of my love to you now

All of my love to you and you and you

"I think you've caught me wolf-man." She smiled and beckoned him to the bed.

He approached her slowly, knowing exactly what she had in mind as she pulled him to her…

A/N: CLIFFHANGER! I know you know what's going to happen next, so this is how its going down: I know from Her Angel, Her Monster that people either liked or didn't like the sex scenes with Vivian and Gabriel that were pretty detailed. So I'm going to have only part of the next chapter here in the Teen section, and the full next chapter will be in the mature. Review in which ever you want, the part in the M section will probably be "Chapter 5, Getting to Know you." Or something like that. So please tell me if you want it that way, and please review! I know many of you have been dying for Vivian to stop making Gabriel wait, so you only have a little while!

REVIEW PLEASE!

Love,

Dahlila
