Chapter Seven - Mason's POV

After the second time we had sex we were both exhausted and dirty so decided to have showers and go to bed. When Eddie got in the shower I decided to join him. We didn't have sex in the shower; we were too tired to have sex for a third time. But the tiredness didn't stop me from kissing him and cleaning his body for him as well as for the two of us to jack each other off. I stole a pair of pyjama trousers from his drawer and we slept in each other's arms for the first time since we started dating.

If someone told me seven months ago that the girl I loved was going to escape school, my best friend loved me and that we would end up dating I wouldn't had believed them. In a way, even though it's sad, I'm glad that Rose left. She didn't know that I adored her and even if she did I would be nothing more to her than a friend. She was a flirty girl, always managing to get the attention of both dhampir and moroi guys wherever she went. She wouldn't date someone like me.

Eddie on the other hand cared about me and stood next to me through all the tough times I had. He even held back his own feelings and emotions whenever I spoke to him about Rose which probably killed him at the time. I didn't know about his feelings so I must had hurt him so many times.

But now I love him even more than I do with Rose. I don't care what anyone else would think of us. It's bad enough we're dhampirs who really can't have a future together because we can't have kids together, but we're also two guys. The Vampire world we live in won't accept our relationship. But like I give a shit about them! I love Eddie, and nothing is going to stop me from being with him.

Eddie's POV

I had a dream that night of Mason and I. It was just him whispering those three sweet words to me over and over again as we laid there next to each other. I love you. I felt so happy that Mason said that to me. Even though our relationship was progressing every day I feared that he would never love me the same way I loved him. I was scared that he would always love Rose. But after he said that to me, those worries washed away. He may still be in love with Rose - as love is a hard thing to get rid off - but he loves me too and that's good enough.

When I woke up the first thing I saw was Mason's sleeping face, then the sunset behind him. The fact that the sun was setting must had meant it was around four in the morning for us Vampires. My guess is that not a lot of students will be waking up until midday as a result of partying hard. It surprised me that I wasn't tired after what we did yesterday. I was sore a bit but it wouldn't stop me from getting up and doing things today.

Mason woke up a few minutes later, probably from feeling my fingers trailing the faint abs that us novices had as a result from a lot of harsh training. We didn't say good morning to each other; our smiles and the kiss was enough.

"How are you this morning?"

"I hurt a bit, but it's nothing serious."

"That's good. I had fun last night."

"Same." I pulled him down for another kiss. We laid there kissing for some time, and eventually Mason moaned a bit.

"I want you so badly right now." The kiss ended and I placed my finger on his lip, smiling.

"Not now. We need some more sleep." He kissed my finger. "Depending on how good you are today I'll consider us having sex tonight."

"Don't tease me. I don't like it."

"Now you know what it's like to be teased." A fake laugh escaped Mason's mouth as he moved into my body and rested his head against my chest. I kissed his forehead while sliding my arm around him, bringing him closer into my body. "Let's go back to sleep."

"Yeah. Okay."
