Zoey

I giggled as Stark planted another kiss on my lips. Fervent and excited it felt as his tongue glided through my mouth.

"Are you sure I'm your first?" I breathed into his mouth. "I mean, you seem very... experienced."

He laughed, "I'm that good am I?" he was now kissing my neck.

"Mmmhmm..." I mumbled, in so much bliss I couldn't talk. A thought struck my mind, "Stark..." I said.

"Mmmhm?" He was focused on my neck.

"How many girlfriends have you had as a vampyre? Serious ones." I asked.

He pulled back to look deep into my eyes. His looked serious suddenly, looking into mine intently. "Z, I don't know if you should think about this." He said wearily.

I was confused, "Why? Oh, right, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me about them. Sorry for bringing it up." I told him and kissed tenderly on his soft lips.

He pulled back, "Z, it's not I don't want to. It's that, well, my past girlfriend is evil and hateful. If I tell you about her then, you might get yourself into trouble." He told me.

"How so?" I asked, "Come on, I won't hurt her. I'll never even see her!" I smiled with my puppy-eyes, "Please?" I used my cutest voice.

"Aww, come on Z don't pull that face. It's not fair, you know I'll tell you!" He moaned making me tingle warmly.

"Please?" I asked again.

He sighed, "Fine. Why are you so beautiful?" He said rhetorically. I beamed, shrugged, then snuggled into his arms.

He laughed holding me tightly. "Well, I have had one girlfriend as a vamp, she is awful. She was a bully to others, like Aphrodite was before you became friends as you told me. It took me a while to understand that though." He frowned at his memory.

"Why would it get me into trouble if I knew this?" I asked, already despising this girl with a vengeance.

"Well, just don't contact her or anything ok? You hate her, I feel you do so don't bother lying. She's evil, she doesn't know where I am since I moved here. If she finds me she won't care if she hurts you to get to me. She's... obsessive, and won't like you at all. So don't look for her on websites okay?" He replied.

"Okay, but she won't hurt me, I'm priestess." I insisted.

He kissed the top of my head, "I know, but she would try. And I don't want to see you hurt." He told me sweetly.

I kissed his jaw, "You won't have to, what's her name anyway?" I asked. He looked at me skeptically, "Oh come on Stark I won't track her down." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Stacy, Stacy Foster." He replied then kissed me passionately.

I moaned and he growled, yes really growled. Is it weird how much that turned me on? I ran my hands up the plains of his perfect abs to cradle his neck. His hands inched down to my waist and pulled me on top of him. I giggled, he laughed too but his eyes were full of lust.

Me and Stark walked onto the hall way hand in hand, and were surprised to see Aphrodite sat on the steps at the end of the hall. "Aphrodite?" I asked as she bolted over to us.

"Zoey!" She said.

"What's up?" I asked.

"I've been sat here waiting for you to... finish, for about an hour now." She complained making me blush and Stark muffled his laughter.

"Well, whatdya want?" I asked.

She frowned, "I need to tell you something, in private." She glanced at Stark.

I looked at him too and smiled, "I'm sure anything for me to hear he can hear too." I smiled at him to Aphrodite.

"Really, I think I should just tell you." Aphrodite insisted looking at Stark wearily.

I sighed, "Fine. Stark I'll be right back." I kissed him gently before leaving into my room with Aphrodite.

We walked over to my sofa, Aphrodite eyed my messy bed making me blush. When we were settled I said, "Okay, what do you want to tell me?"

She hesitated, "Erik, he still... loves you." She told me.

I was in shock, my fingers started to tremble. What would Stark do to him if he found out? What would Erik do to Stark to get me? Oh my goddess this is gonna cause a lot of trouble. "What?" I stuttered.

"I said Erik still loves you!" She repeated looking as conscious as me.

"Oh goddess," I breathed swaying and holding my temples.

"Z are you ok?" Aphrodite asked wearily.

I nodded. "How do you know?" I asked.

She was still looking at me as if expecting me to faint, "He came to my room to... to erm, tell me." She looked away, she was hiding something.

"Aphrodite, what is it?" I asked cocking my head.

"Nothing! I have to go, Darius is waiting." She jumped up and ran out the door leaving me gaping. There was something going on with her lately, like she had a secret.

I couldn't wonder for long because Stark came in, looking behind him to a retreating Aphrodite and back at me. "What was that about?" He smiled joining me on the sofa.

I shrugged and lay on this chest. "You got me." I said.

He chuckled, "What did she say?" He asked.

I froze, "Erm, I can't say." I told him, quickly burying all thoughts on my new information.

"Hmmm," He smiled sexily.

I yawned at the same time as he did and we both laughed. "I'm tired," I said. "You've had me working to hard." I smiled at him temptingly.

His eyebrow raised, "Have I really? Are you sure you've done enough today?" His returning smile was seductive.

My heart beat faster but my voice didn't give it away, "I think I could do a little more..." I couldn't finish because he'd already swept me into his arms and was carrying me towards the already messy bed...

***

The next morning I was worried. Erik had raised a situation I didn't like. Not one bit. I looked at Stark, peaceful in his idyllic sleep, oblivious to the competition he was in, the competition for my heart. But he wasn't oblivious to how he'd already won. My heart and soul was fully, completely his. Erik needed to find someone else because I was already taken, and I hate Erik with passion.

My stomach turned queasy, at first I thought it was just my worrying, but then I felt it churning and knew what was coming next. I bolted up and ran into the bathroom waking Stark up as I did.

"Z?" He said while jumping up and following me, rubbing his eyes awake. I kneeled over the toilet and threw up fiercely. Stark held my hair out of the way for me. I rinsed out my mouth with tap water and leaned into Stark as his arms circled around me.

"Hey, are you okay? Do you feel sick again?" He asked me harmoniously.

"No, I feel... strangely fine now. Actually I feel great!" I replied, and I did. The queasiness had left my stomach leaving me feeling... hyper?

Starks eyes widened, "Are you sure? I think you should have the day off priestess." He smiled but looked concerned.

"Whatever you think, but I feelfine." I kissed his chest repeatedly making him laugh.

"You look fine too," He smiled wickedly, "Better than fine." He winked making me blush. "You seem frenzied suddenly." He commented.

"I feel hyper! Shall we go running? I think we should…" I pulled away and started to speed walk into our room but Starks arms snaked around my waist pulling me back to him.

"Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa, slow down tiger. Are you not hungry first… Or need to relax? I mean you've just been sick!" He laughed.

I was giggling like crazy when I replied, "Yes! I want some more carrots!" What was wrong with me.

Stark looked at me with a confused smile, "Carrots? Again? Is this your new obsession?" He asked me happily.

"I'm not sure, I'm just craving some carrots!" I laughed and ran out the bathroom with Stark in tow to get dressed.

***

After my daily carrots, me and Stark were walking outside in flexible clothes, suitable for running in, and just as we exited the doors I crashed straight into… Erik.

Dun dun dun! This could get a little... tense :D :D I hope you paid attention in this! Even the small conversations hold VITAL information and clues on the rest of the story.... :D :D Lurrrvvv JadeeXbooks :D :D xD :) :D :D xx
