The ball is in full swing by the time we enter. I see Ruka spinning happily in Kains arms and smile to myself, pleased with her happiness. Next, my eyes move over to Aido who is standing at the bar telling a joke. I gaze out at the rest of the crowd. I'm lost in my own thoughts when I feel Kaname squeeze my hand. I look up at him to see him staring at me with a half smile on his face. He looks so happy that my heart gives an uneven thump. His smile blossoms into a full blown one once he hears that little noise. I quickly look away from him, my face red.
"Come Yuki. It is time for us to announce our joyous engagement." Kaname pulls me towards the stage. Once there I see some formal looking vampires sitting stiffly in their chairs. Once we are next to them they stand and give a bow to us. Kaname gives them a slight head tilt in greeting. I quickly do the same. Kaname leads me to the end of the stage and the crowd grows silent. I stand next to Kaname and notice that the vampires also on stage have done the same.
"Welcome. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all of you for being here tonight." Kaname pauses, "Tonight I have gathered you all here to share amazing news. My lovely Yuki has accepted my proposal." Everyone breaks out into cheers of congratulations and applause. I look out into the crowd and spot Ruka leaning back into Kains arms. She has her hands clasped together tightly and a bright smile on her face. Once she catches me looking at me she waves and winks. I smile at her and squeeze Kanames hand.
"Our wedding will be scheduled at a later date. Now please everyone, enjoy yourselves. Thank you." Kaname sends out a breathtaking smile. I send out one as well. After the crowd has moved on to their previous going ons, Kaname turns us to face the odd vampires.
"Officers. This is my lovely Yuki. Yuki these vampires are the officers of the senate." Kaname says in his titling voice. Despite my nerves I smile softly at them and tilt my head slightly. They all bow to me and one of the men reaches out to brush his lips against my hand. I have to resist the urge to pull my hand away and wipe it on my dress. Kaname squeezes my hand tightly. I smile hesitantly at the man.
"How lovely it is to meet all of you. I hope you are enjoying yourselves." I speak softly to them in my well mannered voice. If Ruka was here she would make a funny face at me behind their backs.
"Oh yes Princess. We are all certainly enjoying the festivities." The man pauses, "Though we were surprised to hear the news that you are Kaname-sama are getting married." He tries to be discreet but I notice him looking up and down my body, my chest in particular. I feel Kaname stiffen slightly next to me.
"Yes. Kaname was surprised as well. But I love him and wish to spend my life with none other." I send him a clear meaning with my words to back off. I rub the back of Kanames hand with my thumb in soothing motions. He smiles sweetly at me.
"Yes well we offer congratulations Yuki-sama." The man smiles at me, making my stomach roll. "Unfortunately we must be off. We only stayed long enough to hear the announcement and to meet you, my lovely lady." He reaches to kiss my hand again but I quickly pull my hand away to daintily sneeze into it.
"Oh please do forgive me." I say in my most apologetic voice. The man grimaces but with a bow to Kaname and one to me with a last searching look, they make their way to the exit. Once they are gone I let out a sigh of relief.
"Well that man was certainly..friendly." I try to use a kind word to describe him. Kaname looks away from the doors down to me. He pulls me into his arms for a tight embrace.
"I didn't like the way Beaumont was looking at you. I have always thought I wouldn't feel jealousy. But seeing him eye you made me want to rip him apart and hide you from the world." Kaname murmurs to me. His lips brush against my ear sending shivers down my spine. Feeling bold I pull away from his chest to reach up and pull his head down to mine. Our lips meet and move sweetly together. Kaname clutches me closer to him, his hands on my back. Only when we hear a throat clearing do we break apart. Kanames face is red and his eyes glassy with desire. We turn to look and see Kain, Aido, and Ruka standing beside us, huge smiles on their faces. Well as much of a smile as I have even seen Kain give. With a quick look to Kaname for permission Ruka pulls me out of his arms and into hers. Her arms hug me close and she whispers in my ear.
"I'm so happy for you Yuki. You looked so beautiful up there." She gives me a squeeze before letting me go. Next, is Aido's turn. But surprisingly he doesn't hug me but bows instead.
"Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials Yuki-sama. I look forward to many more years in your service." I'm speechless for a moment. Aido is being formal. I'm about to question him when suddenly he give me a devious smile and ruffles my hair.
"Hey!" I mock scold him. I try to look affronted but he only laughs at me and tells Kaname he is happy for him. I turn my attention to Kain. I'm surprised when he hugs me stiffly. I must have a look of astonishment on my face because Ruka laughs softly beside me. Still, hugging me he leans down to whisper in my ear.
"Please take care of Kaname-sama." Kain releases me, "My lady. Kaname-sama." He bows to both of us. He reaches out his hand and Ruka walks over and clasps it tightly with hers. Ruka smiles at both Kaname and myself before walking away with Kain.
"My love." Kaname reaches out his hand, "May I have this dance?" I smile and nod my head quickly. He pulls me into his arms and whisks me away into the dancing crowd.
...
A few hours later we have retired to our room. Yeah OUR room. I love going to sleep and waking up next to Kaname. It's one of the best feelings in the world. Kaname takes off his tux jacket and drapes it over the chair in the corner and goes to take off his tie. I fling myself onto our bed and spread my arms out wide. Those shoes were super cute and definitely gave me a height boost, but they were killer on my feet. Kaname takes in my appearance and chuckles. He stops in taking off his tie to come and sit by my feet. He picks one up in his big hands and massages it gently.
"I don't know how, but you always know what I need." I moan when his hand rubs a particularly sensitive spot. He smiles but remains silent. I'm watching him through heavy lidded eyes when an idea pops into my head. Before he can protest I pull my foot out of his grasp and pounce on him. I push him back against the bed and straddle his hips. His hands immediately go to my hips.
"Hmm I think I like this position." I smile coyly at him. Kaname smiles gently at me, his hands gripping my hips. I run my finger up his chest to brush against his throat.
"In our haste earlier we skimmed over some important things." I rub his throat with my finger. His Adam apple bounces. I pull my dress down to lay against my lap, my chest bared to his gaze. Kanames eyes widen.
"I find myself ..thirsty." I run my finger tips over my own throat, "What about you?" I cock my head to the side acting innocent. I don't know where this brazen attitude came from but I like it. Lighting fast I find myself on my back with Kaname hovering over me. His eyes starting to glow faintly red. I feel my teeth start to elongate.
"Well then we must fix that." Kaname runs his lips over my check to my lips. Our lips move together softly. All to soon he pulls his mouth away from mine to run his lips down my jaw to my throat.
"I couldn't agree more." I push Kaname up to pull off his shirt. He quickly moves away from me to toss away his pants as well, leaving him naked to my hungry eyes. Before I can pull him back to me though he lifts up my hips to tug my dress and panties away from my body. I spread my legs wide waiting for him to push inside me but open my eyes when he moves off me. I look over at him in confusion.
"I was not gentle when I took you earlier Yuki. For now we will wait so that you may rest." Kaname caresses my face. I pout and am about to argue with him when he puts his finger against my lips.
"But that does not mean that we will not soothe our other aches, my lovely Yuki." Kaname pulls me on top of him once again. But this time he pulls my head down to brush his lips against my throat. I do the same and breathe in his spicy scent. I rear my head back and sink my teeth into his creamy skin. I suck deeply from Kaname. His sweet tangy blood flowing hotly into my mouth. He grunts and sinks his own teeth into me. I feel the hot pull of his mouth against my skin and moan against his throat. All to soon I feel Kaname tug on my hair. I release his neck and am pleased to see it bruising.
"I fear I was to rough. I left a mark." Kaname murmurs to me gently, his hand running through my hair. I shake my head.
"I'm happy." I pause searching for the right words, "It shows everyone that I am yours..and that you are mine." I finish, looking smugly down at my own mark. Kaname looks confused for a moment before he runs his hand along his neck and grins. He pulls me down to lay on him once more.
"Let us get some rest. We have had an eventful day today." Kaname kisses my head. I nod my head sleepily.
"Okay. I love you Kaname." I'm already succumbing to the darkness of sleep when I hear Kaname murmur 'I love you so much Yuki.' I smile before finally succumbing to sleep.
