Adrian's POV:
I straightened my bowtie. God I hated these things. There was a special moroi gathering tonight I had to go to, but I wasn't leaving Alyssa by herself for one second. I glanced over to where she laid on my bed, waiting on me to get ready. I still had to tell her what my parents had done. She sat up and walked over, fixing my bowtie.
"You should really try a tie instead.", she suggested, gently kissing my cheek when she was finished. I pretty much ignored what she said, having my mind on more important things. I took her hand and kissed it, then led her out to the car. When we arrived, I handed her her mask, and put mine on. Just as we stepped out the rain started coming down. I growled, annoyed by the rain and held an umbrella for her.
"Are you okay.. you seem on edge.", she whispered once we were inside. My mind decided I needed her. Now. I dragged her roughly to a side room.
"Adrian what are you doi-", I silenced her with my lips, pressing her close against the wall. She shook her head to break away from my needy kisses, but I ignored that and moved to her jaw. "Adrian! Stop.. someone's going to see us... ow!", I hadn't realized I was going to bite her until I tasted her blood. God it was good, too good. My hands explored her every curve, and I heard her moan as the endorphins kicked in. She placed her hands on my chest, weakly pushing me off.
"A-Adrian stop.. stop please..", she whispered. I snapped out of it and immediately pulled my fangs out, backing up quickly and sitting against the wall. She stood there, pressing a hand to her neck.
"Alyssa. C-Come here. Please. I'm so sorry.", I whispered, I needed her by my side. I just needed her close, or I was going to loose it. She hesitated for a second, but sat down beside me. I gently moved her hand from her neck and healed it. "I'm so so sorry.", I said again.
"Adrian if you needed my blood... you could've asked.", She said and I looked down.
"I... I snapped. I'm stressed Lyss. My parents.. they cut me off. No more money.", I said quietly.
"Adrian-", I cut her off.
"It's not that I need it. I want to be able to provide for you.", I picked her up and put her in my lap, she laid her head on my shoulder. I stroked her cheek gently.
"It doesn't matter if you can't. As long as I have you.", she whispered. "Do you have a place to live?", Alyssa asked.
"No.", I burried my face into her neck, taking in small breaths and relaxing. She was so intoxicating.. and she flinched. I pulled my head back completely, moving her off of my lap. I'd hurt her, and she was afraid of me now.
"Adrian-", I cut her off again.
"I'm sorry. You... you're afraid of me now aren't you.", I whispered. She surprised me by leaning forward and whispering against my lips, "Adrian Ivashkov, I will never be afraid of you.", and then she softly kissed me. I gently wrapped my arms around her, one of my hands sliding up her shirt when I heard a voice behind me.
"I'd advise you not to get... down and dirty. In my spare room.", My father said behind me. Alyssa jumped up, springing apart from me. I stood and held her close to me. "Your mother wanted you here. I want you out. But I can't let you leave yet. Have you changed your mind?", he asked.
I set my jaw. "No. I'm marrying her. Tonight.", I said. I felt Alyssa stiffen beside me. I grabbed her hand and ran out of the room before anyone had time to act.
