Hi guys! Sorry for taking such a while to update! I have been an avid reader and reviewer on the site lately, but haven't found the necessary creativity to update my own story. I also finally have a full-time job as well, for which I am very thankful. Here is chapter 21 which is definitely rated M. The next chapter will begin the second and final arc of the story and new characters may be introduced to develop the story further. I hope that this will be alright. :) I like to add a bit of a quest in the story and some humour as well, but it is primarily a romance. Thank you for staying with me this far and if you have any concerns, suggestions, feedback etc, it's very welcome! Thank you all so much for your reviews! It makes me so happy and drives me to continue the story. A thousand thanks to you all. 3 Again, this chapter is quite descriptive, and rated M.

At 6am Yuki sat at the kitchen table, unable to consume another bite, she tiredly pushed herself back and stood up. She had ate most of Aido's chicken, Ruka's perogies, and Ichijo's salad. Before enjoying their dishes however, Yuki had completely devoured the ginger pork stir-fry that Akatsuki had prepared. She had enjoyed it thoroughly, savouring every bite, and eating quickly. She had ate the other meals to be polite and not offend, but she had had been extremely full after the stir-fry.

"Thank you all so much for your kindness, I've been truly spoiled." Yuki smiled and bowed softly.

"Of course! Yuki-sama!" Aido responded energetically, "Anytime you are hungry, please let us know."

Yuki smiled and nodded before leaving the kitchen, her tiny hands gently clutching her flat stomach. She had never felt so full, and she had indulged in food a lot as a human. She began her ascent up the grand staircase, her slender legs carrying her gracefully, her white nightgown softly flowing behind her. She reached the bedchamber that she shared with Kaname and sofly opened the door. She entered quielty, shutting the door gently before turning her gaze back to the room. It was dim, but the morning light was softly spilling in the far window as Kaname had not shut the curtains.

Speaking of Kaname, where was he? She glanced towards the closed bathroom door before walking over to it. Carefully, she placed her hands against the door, followed by her left ear. The shower was running; Kaname hadn't finished yet. She then made her way over to the window to gaze out over the grounds. The massive garden looked beautiful in the early morning light, the colourful flowers just beginning to open. The Kuran property was truly stunning, surrounded with gardens and trees. Beyond what was considered Kuran property, large dense forests were found. They were secluded, in a breathtaking place. Yuki leaned on the window sill to gaze further out, suddenly longing to be outside during this day instead of pulling across a dark curtain and sleeping. She began to think of a way to ask Kaname if they could venture outside for a while, when warm arms enveloped her from behind in an embrace, her heart suddenly racing.

She could feel his warm bare chest through her cotton nightgown, steam lightly rising from the surface of his skin. His arms gently yet firmly enveloped her tiny waist while his lips lowered to the top of her head to kiss her soft hair. He smelled wonderful; like spices and wine, and she found herself softly shutting her eyes while inhaling his scent more deeply. Kaname nuzzled his face in her silky tresses while his grip around her tightened more. He had been so patient, and yet, so tempted all of the years she was in his life. He knew now that he could indulge in her; that she would allow him to, and he sighed softly in to her hair.

"Yuki..." He spoke her name huskily against her soft neck making her tremble.

"Kaname..." She responded a little more breathlessly than she had originally anticipated.

His warm tongue ran up the length of her neck suddenly and she gasped softly as her heart beat with extreme force within her chest. He could hear her rapid heartbeat within her as it sent her intoxicating blood racing through her body. He softly pressed his lips to her neck, kissing her warm skin lightly while feeling her pulse race. His grip around her tightened more as he inhaled her sweet scent while pressing closely to her. He couldn't wait any longer although he had originally wanted to; his great need for her overiding his patience.

She felt his fangs pierce her neck slowly; sinking into her soft skin deeply and causing a pleasurable sting to radiate through her neck before spreading through the rest of her body. Her mouth opened in a silent gasp as the sound of Kaname taking her lifesource overwhelmed her. Goosebumps broke out over her skin while a pleasant heat began to build low in her abdomen, gradually travelling lower. She went to put her arms out to grip the window sill but found them to be tightly pinned against her body; Kaname's arms wrapped firmly around her. He drank with desperation as he pressed himself closer to the girl to relish in her warmth while he released a soft moan against her neck. Upon hearing the sound, Yuki shivered as she realised the effect she was having on him.

After a few minutes of indulgance, Kaname reluctantly withdrew his fangs from her neck to begin placing soft kisses along its length. He felt her shiver as his lips travelled back up near her face. He realised that his actions had aroused her, and how perfect, he thought to himself, because of what he wanted to do with her. He shifted suddenly and dipped her backwards to lift her off the floor before walking the short distance to their bed to place her on top. He then sat on the edge and leaned over her possessively as his damp hair hung in his wine-coloured eyes that were fixed on her surprised ones. She felt frozen on top the sheets, and completely unable to move under his intense gaze. She knew what he wanted, and she knew she wanted it too. Slowly, she lifted a tembling hand to his bare chest and traced a finger along it; her eyes following the path she was travelling. He softly closed his eyes as he focused on her finger on his warm skin travelling south towards his abdomen. His eyes opened again and he grasped her hand moving along him and forced it back behind her head; gathering her other hand in the same place. With his free hand, Kaname traced his finger down Yuki's swan-like neck and atop her cotton nightgown. He felt the softness of the material along with the heat of her skin beneath it. He traced his finger to her chest where one finger turned into five as he spread them out softly between her breasts to feel her heartbeat as her chest rose and fell. She was excited he realised, as his fingertips detected her hammering heart beneath the cotton.

His left hand released her hands from above her head as he settled himself over her properly before bringing his mouth down to hers in a passionate kiss. He wanted her desperately; to take her slowly and deeply so as to draw out cries of ecstacy from her beautiful lips before turning to a faster pace to achieve their climax. The black towel around his waist hid his hardness from her; his length aching to be enveloped within her warmth. His lips left hers to place kisses down her neck and chest through her nightgown while he whispered passion-filled confessions to her.

"I want you so much, Yuki." He paused to tear her nightgown from her neck down to her stomach then opening the material to reveal her soft breasts beneath.

The young girl gasped at his sudden move to see more of her and then sighed softly as she felt his warm mouth close around the top of her left breast. His tongue, highly skilled, swirled around its peak igniting pangs of arousal low in her womb. She felt his fangs lightly graze her skin as he switched to her right breast before his mouth inflicted the same passionate treatment. He continued for a few minutes before he finally brought his mouth down over her stomach and spoke again.

"For ten years I waited for you, and you bloomed into a beautiful flower that I couldn't have..."

As he spoke, she could feel his hot breath against her skin sending goosebumps over her entire body. She could sense his need and desperation in his voice, the way he touched her, and the way he smelled. She knew that he could sense her arousal as well and basked in it; her soft moans, heavy breathing, racing heart, and sweet scent. All of it drove him wild and called to his inner beast to release his control once more. She could feel his lips travelling along her stomach and abdomen before heading lower to the warmth between her thighs. Once there, he stopped and spoke once more, his breath hot against her sensitive skin.

"And after seeming like I would never get to have you, Yuki, you awoke and came away with me."

She had been focusing on his words and soft voice along with his hot breath when she suddenly felt his tongue press against her most sensitive of places. She gasped, arching back into the bed while her fingers grasped at the sheets. His long damp hair tickled her thighs as his tongue began to swirl quickly; her pleasure sparking and building quickly upon his actions.

"Onii-sama!" She cried out as her pleasure grew.

Kaname held her thighs apart as his tongue continued its torture upon the girl as her body trembled and grew hot. Her breathing became heavy and her hips began to move slightly to work with his tongue to bring her to release. She was flushed as heat rose off her like the desert; her moans of pleasure becoming louder. His tongue somehow began to work faster and she felt her low abdomen tighten almost painfully before an explosion of pleasure hit her; the tension releasing while sending deep contractions through her lower muscles and spreading through her body like wildfire.

"Kaname!" She screamed as her climax overtook her; her surroundings blanking out for a moment.

His tongue slowed before stopping entirely as he reveled in her sweet taste, her heat escaping against his face. Her breathing began to slow as her fingers relaxed against the sheets beneath her. He lifted his face to direct his gaze up her body to her face which was heavily flushed; her eyes softly closed. She was the complete physical, mental, and emotional epitome of beauty and grace, and he couldn't have enough of her. Her eyes opened in time to watch him rise from between her legs and grasp the towel around his waist to pull it away, revealing his evident arousal between his own legs. He positioned himself near her warmth and leaned over her; his face over hers once more.

"I could have lost you, Yuki. I don't know what I would have done if that happened. I cannot lose you."

With his confessions complete for the time being, he gently slid himself inside her as her warmth surrounded and comforted him. She cried out softly upon his entrance within her as he pushed himself as deep as he possibly could manage. The feeling of being connected this way was blissful, and both purebloods knew that it was also meant to be. Softly, he drew his hips back, his length sliding back out of her again before pushing inside once more. He groaned as her body gripped his tightly; surrounding him with heat. He continued a deliciously slow pace for a few minutes while enjoying the movements of their bodies accompanied by her delicate cries of pleasure. Eventually, however, he picked up his pace as his inner beast approved greatly.

His breath was hot against her face as he brought his lips down upon hers to taste her once again as he entered and withdrew from her repeatedly. Her entire body moved softly in time with his motions as her arms wrapped around his neck; her hands finding his soft hair to thread her fingers through. She greatly enjoyed the feeling of his weight on top of her as he moved within her body, yet suddenly she felt a desire for change and ever so reluctantly, she sofly pulled her hands from his hair and brought them down to his shoulders to push lightly. Confused, Kaname slowed his pace as he broke their kiss to gaze into her auburn eyes; his breathing ragged.

"Yuki?"

She continued to push against him as she began to sit up and he pulled back while withdrawing from her, unsure of her intentions. She then pushed against him once again, only this time in a downwards motion towards the bed. He smiled soflty as he understood and laid down upon the sheets as she straddled his hips while sinking down atop his throbbing arousal. His breath momentarily caught in his throat as he watched her slide down his length slowly and leaned over him, granting him a perfect view of her breasts. He couldn't suppress the moan that escaped him as he gripped her hips lightly to help her move along him. His eyes watched her avidly as their pleasure continued to build and grow; their movements quickening. The familiar tightness was forming in her once more and she moved faster to find her end as her hands tightly grasped his shoulders. After a few moments, she found her release and cried out as pleasure erupted through her and without hesitating, she lowered her mouth to his neck and sunk her fangs in.

Kaname's mouth opened in a silent moan as he felt her release along with her fangs which were now firmly planted in his neck. Her long hair pooled around them and he brought his hand from her hips up to her head to hold her against him; encouraging her to take what she needed. She drank from him desperately, and that feeling, combined with her climax, brought about his own as he released himself within her; overrode with pleasure and pain. She could feel his pulsating release inside her and taste it in his blood and she shuttered in satisfaction.

Her movements eventually stopped and she withdrew her fangs from his neck before collapsing over him, completely exhausted and happy. He wrapped his arms around her to hold her against him as he inhaled her delicious scent and sighed. Their love was absolutely perfect and there was no way at all that he could live without her. He knew that there would soon be new threats emerging to jeopardize Yuki's safety, but he hoped that he could handle it fairly easily. He would protect her at all costs. As he was thinking these protective thoughts, she pulled herself off of him to lay next to him; her arms stretching across his chest. He turned towards her to meet her gaze and found a soft smile on her lips. Her right hand moved up to his scalp as her fingers parted to run through his now nearly dry hair and he sighed with contentment as pleasant shivers ran down his back at her touch.

"Onii-sama." Her voice was so soft and it relaxed him further.

"Hmm?" His eyes which were beginning to close opened fully once again.

"You won't lose me, so don't worry. It's alright."

Her words greatly impacted him, though his expression didn't display it much, and he pulled the girl close to him. She was so dedicated to reassuring and comforting him, and with a heart as large as hers, he wasn't at all surprised. He felt somehow undeserving of such great love, but accepted it gratefully. The feeling of loving and being loved, was a feeling that he couldn't possibly part with. Thinking this, Kaname reached back to pull the covers over them and Yuki didn't protest. She was originally planning to ask him if they could venture outside for a while before sleeping, but her mood had changed as she found herself slipping happily into sleep with Kaname following suit.
