Jess smiled up at Gregori when everyone was gone. He motioned to the couch. She sat down and he sat beside her.
"About the movie?"
"What about it?"
"I rented some and I thought we could watch them here and I could order you a pizza."
"What about you? Aren't you gonna eat anything?"
"No. I'm not hungry."
"Well then I say it is a wonderful idea. But only one thing."
"What?"
"Well two things. First give me a quick kiss…" She didn't finish before he kissed her. It was a short hard passionate kiss.
"What was that second thing?"
"You hold me while we watch the movies."
"No… I have a better idea."
"Really what is it?"
He kissed the tip of her nose. "We cuddle while watching the movie and have the occasional make out session."
Jess kissed him. "I'll agree with that."
Gregori laughed and pulled her closer for a moment deepening the kiss then with a groan he pulled away.
"I'm keeping my word."
She smiled as he got up and put a movie on and pushed play. Coming back he settled back down beside her and put her arm around her and smiled in contentment at the peace he felt with her in his arms.
They sat there for the next two hours they watched a story of ancient earth and elves and wizards and a dark lord. Jess loved the movie. As it came to the end the King kissed his Elvin love Jess smiled up at Gregori and with the movie's music playing before then he pulled her closer into a soft sweet kiss.
"You are quite the woman Jess."
"You're pretty special yourself Gregori. What fate let me find some one as perfect and honest as you?"
Gregori frowned and sat up. She called him honest he wasn't he was lying to her everyday. He hated to do that.
"Gregori? What's wrong?"
"Nothing sweetheart just suddenly had much on my mind."
"Like what?"
"Just some things… When are your furniture and things coming?"
"I had it delivered today. That's were Shanna took Roman she wanted to set everything up for me. I'll have my home tonight." She bit her lip. "Would you like to come stay the night?"
Gregori stared at her. They weren't ready to make love but she wanted him to stay the night with her. What then when she wakes up to a dead body.
"Not tonight. I have to work."
"Oh!" She was disappointed but he had a job and she didn't want him to sacrifice it for her. "Can you walk me to my door?"
Gregori smiled and standing up offered her his arm. She linked her's with his and let him lead her upstairs. Out side her door she turned to him with a smile.
"Thanks for the wonderful evening Gregori."
"Your welcome."
"Can I see you tomorrow night?"
"I would love that. I'll come by about 7 o'clock."
"See you then."
He gave her a sweet goodnight kiss and waited for her to close and lock the door. When she did he teleported to work.
Inside Jess got her a drink of juice with a smile on her face. This was wonderful. He was a wonderful man and she loved it. She loved him. Oh god she hardly knew him and fell in love with him. As she went to her room there was a knock on her door. Thinking it might be Gregori she answered it with a smile.
An older gentleman stood there with a slight snarl on his face. Jess went to shut the door when he stopped her with a hand on the door.
"I'm calling the police."
"No need ma'am. I'm here to protect you."
She stopped. "From whom?"
"Its more like from what."
"Okay. What?"
"Vampires."
Jess laughed. "There is no such thing."
"There is and I am sure that scratch you got on your neck was from one of them."
"No it is from my…." she hesitated ,"boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Yeah right. Does he ever eat? Do you ever see him during the day?"
"Well no but he works."
"Yeah he does making blood to drink. Trust me Miss. MacGregor, Gregori Holstein might be handsome to you but his vampire lovers would eat you in a second."
"What?" For some reason she actually believed him. "Why are you telling me this?"
"To protect you. Roman Draganesti took my daughter and brainwashed her. Angus Mackay turned one of my employees into a vampire against her will and I have reason to believe Gregori will do the same to you."
"Who are you?"
"Sean Whalen."
I am sorry this chapter is short getting late.
