Vicki closed her eyes and let herself go. Henry's hands wandered over her body eliciting moans and sighs from Vicki's parted lips. Her body arched into him, her warm skins making contact with his cool body and giving her the sensation of being on fire. His fingers slipped between her legs and toyed with her before pushing into her wet folds. Vicki shuddered and gasped, her fingernails dug into his back and her lips found his. Pushing her tongue into his mouth, the moaned and kissed each other with deep passion. Vicki's breasts rubbed against his chest and sent electricity to her sweet spot. Vicki turned her head to catch her breath and in doing so, exposed her neck to Henry. His eyes bled black and his lips covered the pulsing spot in her neck, the blood beneath rushing throughout her body. He scraped her sensitive skin with blunt teeth and sucked hard but didn't bring blood. His steely rod pressed at her thigh and she opened for him but he teased her and held back.

Placing soft, wet kisses on her neck, he made his way to her breast and encased each one tenderly. He laved her peaked nubs before sucking each one. Vicki cried out in pleasure, her hot wet core wanting nothing more than for him to stretch her out with his manhood. Henry, however, had other ideas. He continued his journey to pleasuring Vicki. When she realized what he was doing, her breathing became shallow and rapid, her mouth went dry and she wound her fingers into his soft, curly locks. Henry nuzzled her mound before opening her folds and licking softly. He felt her harden in his mouth and he smiled behind what he was doing. She was dripping wet, hot and tight as he soon found out when he placed his fingers inside and stroked her sweet spot. Vicki's body responded to his tender loving. He pushed her legs up for better access and with vampire speed, brought Vicki closer to release. She felt that familiar tickle that signaled her moment o f ecstasy and Henry sensed her imminent explosion. Vicki began to spasm with each wave of orgasm that hit her before the final one took her nearly to unconsciousness. Gasping for air, she collapsed in a very satisfied heap on the bed. Henry crawled up and turned her so that her feet hung off the bed. His eyes were black with desire and his beast was bubbling under the surface but he held back. Pushing her legs back, he entered her in one fell swoop. Vicki grunted as he filled her completely. Vicki's mouth fell open and she began to cry out with each thrust.

"Oh..my..God…Henry..oh..my…God.." she said loudly. Henry grunted and growled, his hands rested on her thighs as he continued to pound into her. When he felt her close again, he pulled her up and bit to feed from her while increasing her orgasm exponentially. When she finished, he laid her back and let himself go spilling his hot seed into her with multiple hard thrusts.

Once finished, he moved them so that they were lying together in a sweaty but romantic embrace.

"Henry, you never cease to amaze me," Vicki said softly. Her eyes were closed and they spooned together while she recovered. Henry kissed her neck eliciting an automatic shudder from Vicki.

"That's good, I want to be amazing forever," he told her. Vicki turned to face him.

"You mean, for as long as we have," she reminded him.

Henry shrugged, "Whatever that may be, or maybe forever, who knows? I just know I'm the luckiest man in the world."

Vicki shifted nervously and turned away so that he couldn't see her face. Her eyes were glistening with tears of happiness but she wanted to keep that to herself.

"Yeah, whatever that may be," Vicki agreed. They alternated sleeping and making love for the next few hours until Henry died for the day. Vicki rested in his arms and knew she was truly happy for the first time she could remember. Yes, she had the immortality issue hanging over her head for now, today, in this moment, she was going to relish what she had.

They bid their goodbyes the following night.

"Thank you so much not only for your help but your hospitality," Henry told Vincent and Catherine. Mike was in the corner chatting with Hannah and laughing, Vicki watched with amused interest and wondered what attracted Mike to this girl so much.

"You're always welcome to stay, all of you," Vincent offered.

"We appreciate that but we must be getting back," Henry bowed his head toward Vincent.

"I understand but know you always have sanctuary with us."

Vicki shook hands with Vincent and surprisingly, hugged Catherine with enthusiasm. These last few days had given Vicki a different outlook on life and for once, she was relaxed.

"Thank you both, we've enjoyed the stay," Vicki smiled. She glanced at Mike again and wondered if might actually be staying.

"As w e said, you're welcome anytime," Catherine nodded her head slightly. After goodbyes were said, they began their ascent to the surface. Vicki felt a twinge and looked back.

"What is it?" Henry asked.

Vicki shook her head, "Nothing," and continued forward. Mike had not decided to stay but Hannah made the decision to leave the tunnel world.

"Are you sure she can handle it?" Vicki asked Mike. Mike nodded and smiled.

"Yep, she'll be with me," he said confidently. Vicki wasn't jealous but she felt something akin to protectiveness.

"I hope you know what you're doing," she sighed. Mike responded by lifting her left hand and pointing to the engagement bauble Henry presented her.

"I hope you know what you're doing," he grinned.

"Touché," Vicki smiled.

Vicki wasn't sure what would come later, she wasn't even sure she wanted to get married but she did know she was in love with Henry and finally, she could admit that. Mike and Hannah caught the plane with Vicki and Henry although they did not become members of the mile high club. They learned that Hannah had come to the tunnels as an adult after a horrible and abusive marriage. She was a pediatrician and the tunnel dwellers were grateful she's stayed as long as she did but understood her wanting to leave with Mike. Mike was absolutely smitten with her and deep down, Vicki was happy for him.

While Mike's life would border on the mundane, Vicki's life would take a sudden turn, one she never saw coming…
