I Love You Both

by angelsinstead

Marty has been waiting impatiently for her vampire lover to come and take her away from her unhappy existence. She would provide him with sustenance and sex, and he would provide her with safety from the abuse and unhappiness she had known in her life. How could she have known it would be so complicated? How could she have known that HE would want her, too?

21. Apart

Apart

Marty felt as though her heart were breaking. Todd had to go away with Kharis and Caleb on a mission. She had no idea how long they'd have to be apart. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as Victor took her in his arms.

"Todd will be back soon," he whispered as he crushed her close against his body.

"I know, but I will miss him," she said sadly.

"I'll take care of you while he is gone," Victor promised.

He picked her up in his arms and carried her over toward the bed. Gently, he lay her down against the pillows. "It's kind of nice to have you all to myself for once," he stated.

"I don't like to be apart from either one of you," Marty spoke as she caressed Victor's cheek.

Victor moved over Marty on the bed, tenderly kissing away all of her tears. "Todd and I are very lucky to have you," he said. "You're extremely loyal to both of us."

"I love you both with all my heart," said Marty. "Living without either one of you is not an option."

"Then let's hope that the three of us remain together for many years to come."

"For all of eternity," she said as she pulled him down into a kiss.
