This chapter is dedicated to all that read/reviewed my story, especially to Cristina, who is probably sad that she came back from her trip…I hope a little smut will cheer her up:P Because yes, this chapter is a little smutty… But enough talking:D Enjoy!

Nikola opened up his eyes and discovered that he was in a hospital bed, probably in the Cairo Sanctuary. The children were both in his room, but he only had eyes for Helen. She was kneeled right beside his bed, her head rested on the edge of his bed. She was probably having a sweet dream-not related to him if he knew her well-but this didn't stop him from contemplating how beautiful she was when she was sleeping.

"Rise and shine, Fang Boy." Kate said.

Nikola scoffed at the ridiculous name Kate gave him, but he wasn't in the mood for a fight now.

"How long has she been staying here for?" he asked whispering, afraid that he would wake her up.

"Two whole days." Will said. "I was more worried for her than I was for you. She refused to leave, she refused to sleep and she barely ate anything."

"I hope you do realize you are one lucky bastard." Kate said.

"I'm assuming she injected Osiris's blood to me."

"She did. But that's not why you are a lucky bastard. You're lucky because she loves you."

"Are you…" Nikola started asking, but was interrupted by Helen, who woke up.

"You are alive." She whispered, with the most relieved look she had ever had.

"You didn't expect to get rid of me so easily, did you?" he joked, his gaze lost in her blue eyes.

"You are back to your blood-sucking self, I presume." Helen said, ignoring his last question.

With a smirk, he flashed his eyes, turning them to black for a few moments. "Perfect and irresistible as always."

"Good. However, I will have to keep you in bed for a few more days, just to be sure."

"Keep me in bed? But Helen, I'll get bored." He threw her a sinful glance. "Unless you want to join me."

"We'll…" Kate said.

"…leave now." Will completed. "You guys probably need some time to talk."

"Or whatever you guys want to do. Anyway, you won't need us anymore." Kate said and left, pulling Will after her.

"Now that we are alone, what do you say we see how you'll keep me in bed?"

"Very funny." Helen said, ignoring the fact that her mind was long lost into gutter. "I want to see if your wound has healed. Take off your shirt."

He didn't even bother listening to her, but he smiled mischievously. "For how long have you been dreaming to tell me this?"

"Nikola…" she said on a threatening tone.

"Alright, alright." He said, beginning to unbutton his shirt. "I suppose you are not willing to help me?"

She didn't answer, so he took off his shirt by his own and placed it on the bed next to him. Helen couldn't help biting her lip at his incredibly sexy sight. He wasn't bulky or anything, but his lean, slender muscles seemed extremely kissable. "And I am supposed to keep a doctor/patient relationship with him." She thought.

"Impressed?" Nikola asked with a smirk.

"Your wound is perfectly healed." She said in the most even tone possible."Osiris's blood is fascinating."

Her soft fingers touched his skin, much more like a lover than a doctor. "Not even a scratch."

"I didn't mean my wound, Helen, and you know it." Nikola said with a sexy smile. He moved closer to her and whispered seductively in her ear. "You are not supposed to maintain a doctor/patient relationship with me, Helen."

The look on Helen's face was priceless. As if she was mortified with fear. "Did I say that aloud?" she asked herself. "No, I didn't. Then, how in God's name does he…Oh crap." She said, realizing the truth. A thought came to her mind, but it wasn't hers. "Osiris's blood is certainly marvelous."

"It only works on the ones with vampire blood, Nikola. It's no big deal."

"Reading your mind? It is a very big deal, Helen. I could get used to it."

"Why did you do it, Nikola?" she asked, trying to change the subject as soon as possible. "Why did you give up the thing that matters the most to you just to save me?"

"I didn't, Helen. I gave up one thing I thought it was important, but I realized that without you…my life would be meaningless. You are my life, Helen. And I would die for you. For as many times as it is necessary."

"Nikola, do you remember what I said the last time you kissed me?" She asked, her cold fingers exploring his chest. Ice.

"That I won't ever get another kiss from you?" He replied, his gaze fixated on her lips. Desire was burning in his eyes. Fire.

"I lied." She whispered seductively, and crushed her lips to his. Finally together…She was surprised, but very excited at how fast he responded. She gave in to the passion that had been burning inside her for so much time, making Nikola realize that stealing kisses from her had been a bad idea. Of course, it was funny, but those kisses couldn't even begin to compare to the one he was receiving right now. She let her hands play with his deliciously ruffled hair, as his expert lips were drawing whimpers of pleasure from her throat. With a silent moan, she allowed his tongue entrance, relishing the butterflies that were swarming in her stomach. Why the hell did she wait so long to do this? But it wasn't the time to think at the past. Present was all that mattered. Their lips parted minutes after with a muffled protest from her, but they both needed air. The passion of the kiss they had shared had left them breathless.

"I could get used to this, you know." Nikola said.

"Saving my life or kissing me?"

"Both. Although I prefer the kissing part."

"Me too." She said with a mischievous smile. She brought her lips close to his mouth, wanting another kiss as soon as possible, but his words interrupted her.

"Good. Because I have an idea."

"What?" she asked, a little scared.

"Well, Osiris's blood may have turned me into a vampire again, but I am still the only vampire left."

"Don't tell me you want to build up an army again."

"Not exactly. But I figure…three little vampires would be an interesting start."

She got up his bed in a blink of an eye, with the angriest look he had ever seen.

"I can't believe you did this to me!" she yelled, heading to the door. "How could I be so stupid, falling in love with you? I thought you loved me, Nikola, I really did, but I can't be with you if you are so obsessed with world domination. I am sick and tired of cleaning after you."

"This time it will be different."

"It never is, Nikola!" she said, almost crying. "Didn't you learn that yet? Vampires want domination, they would enslave us again."

"Yes, well, I was hoping their mother will teach them the whole fragile balance that needs to be kept thing."

His words froze her, stopping her from exiting the room. She turned back, wishing that the telepathy between them worked both ways.

"Mother, Nikola? Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"

He stood up, and got closer to her, so close that his breath was tickling her face. "For over 100 years now, Sweet Lips."

She threw him a look that was still angry. "You are absolutely incurable." She said scoffing. "But this doesn't mean that I don't want you." Her lips conquered his mouth once more, giving him a short but wet kiss. Throwing him a sinful glance, she pushed him on the bed and stood on top of him, her lips letting his mouth go in order to explore his chest. After a while, her mouth discovered his neck, as her teeth gently sank into his soft skin.

"Watch it, Miss Magnus." He said in a tone which was a mixture of scolding and threatening. "I am the vampire here." He tilted her head up, forcing her mouth off his neck, only to get his lips under her domination once more.

"Oh, and one more thing." He said, making their lips part, a thing which she clearly didn't enjoy. Holding her, he rolled over, so that he was now the one in the dominant position.

"I will be the one leading this project." He whispered sensually.

"I am afraid you are going to have to bribe me for that, Nikola."

He accepted her challenge with a smirk, as his fingers playfully began unbuttoning her blouse.

"I get that you like my idea?" he whispered.

"What can I say? You are brilliant." She said, as one of her fingers traced a line on his abdomen, getting her hand dangerously close to his belt. It took her a while to unbutton it, mostly because she was distracted by his hands that were swarming on her body, but after a while that pesky belt was discarded.

"Genius, remember?" he asked, his hands going up on her thighs, setting fires through all her body.

"My genius. Forever. I like the sound of that." Her hands relished once more the feel of his messed up hair, pulling him deeper in a kiss that seemed to last forever.
