Chapter 43: Overcoming

**Rated M**

I chewed my lip, taking a step up, putting more space between Neville and myself. "No…I haven't…yet." he took several steps at a time, his long legs helping him close the distance. "After hearing everything I just said, you're still leaving? Seriously?" I huffed and walked quickly away, hurrying to my room. I didn't bother shutting the door as I knew he was only moments behind me. "Neville, your words were beautiful and amazing…but they don't change my decision. I am leaving." I pulled out a duffle bag and began to shove clothes into it, not caring if they got unfolded or wrinkled.

I was reaching for a jacket when Neville's fingers wrapped around my wrist. "Aethna, I meant every word I said. I can't live without you in my life." "Let go of me…please." his grip tightened as I began to pull away. "No, I'm not letting you leave. I can't. If you are leaving, I'm leaving with you." I easily jerked my hand from his grip, it was natural now to tap into the huge power inside me. "Don't try to stop me. I don't want to use my power on you." he stood his ground, his hands in fist. "I don't care. You'll have to kill me before I let you leave, or just let me come with you." I shook my head, rushing and grabbing his shirt, lifting him off the ground a foot or so. "See this? See how easy this is for me? You truly want to ruin your life for a small amount of happiness? It won't last, it will fade. And then you will regret coming with me….you'll regret me."

I tightened my grip on his shirt, feeling my claws begin to come out. I took a deep breath and lowered him, then began to let him go, but he gripped my hand hard, making me stay inches from each other. "I will never regret you…ever." his free hand traced the line up my neck to my face. "Neville, don't…" I breathed out, feeling my heart skip a beat, wanting to feel his touch more. "Then stop me." he exhaled, his scent feeling my nose, making me ache to be with him. "Don't make me do this. Please. Just let me go." his fingers tightened on my cheek, pulling me closer.

I went to push him away, but he pressed his lips onto mine before I could and all thoughts left my mind as I surged forward, closing the inches between us and gripping his hair in my hands. I realized my mistake and pulled away, removing almost all contact with him. His hands still held a grip on my waist, refusing to let me go completely. "Stop…" I breathed out, feeling desire seeping into my skin where he touched. "No." his voice was solid, strong, and so unlike him. His fingers gripped even tighter, making me wince. "Ow…Neville…stop." his eyes bore into mine as he shook his head.

I groaned as he dug deeper, before I used one hand to grab his and remove it, while my other wrapped around his throat. I applied some pressure and he gasped, his eyes getting wide. I could see my reflection in his eyes, my crimson eyes brighten than ever, my fangs twice as long as before pressing over my lower lip. "Don't you get it. I'm going to hurt you! Kill you even! I can't control myself anymore!" I growled, feeling the vampire surfacing, my claws coming out and pressing against his skin. "I-I don-don't care…" he pressed harder on my side with his hand and I felt more pain as his nails broke skin slightly. I let out hiss, slamming him into the wall rough and it cracked under the power.

His eyes bore into mine still, refusing to let go of me, refusing to give in. He grabbed the back of my neck with his other hand and jerked me forward, his lips grazing over my fangs and lips. The touch sent a spark through me, making me move my hand to the back of his neck, pulling him close. I licked his lips, tasting the sweetness of him, and his hands gripped my hair tight. He tilted my head back, before kissing along my neck. His mouth clamped onto my soft spot between my collar bone and neck and he began to suck slightly, his teeth grazing against my soft skin.

My hiss turned to a moan as he continued to suck my neck and I pressed him even closer, wanting him to cover every inch of me with his touch. My anger left me as desire replaced every part of my body. His touch was like a fire blazing with every movement. His teeth gripped my skin, biting down hard, "Oh god…" I groaned as I leaned back, wanting more. His arms kept me steady as I felt my body reacting to him, my panties pooling with my juices, wanting to feel him inside. I ripped my claws down his shirt, tearing through the fabric with ease, not yet tearing into his skin. He released my neck but grabbed the ruined dress and tried to rip it. The fabric was strong and durable, so I held out my finger, showing the claw to him.

"Try this." he nodded and used my claw to slice clean through the dress, letting it pool around my feet. I stood in my panties only, my breast bare to him as he leaned down and began to nip and bite his way to my chest. I gripped his shoulders hard, feeling so turned on I could barely stand it anymore. I jerked his belt out of the holes and his pants fell to the ground as well. He was already hard and ready, easily poking out of the hole of his boxers. He bit down hard above my nipple and I called out his name, "Neville!" I was so close to climaxing and we hadn't even barely done anything. Everything was so heightened, every touch magnified.

He lifted his head, meeting my eyes and I could see his desire filling every part of him as well, matching my passion with his own. He went to back us up and I shoved him back into the wall, much more gently this time. I sank to my knees and his eyes went wide as I slid his boxers down and opened my mouth. I paused right at the tip, realizing that my fangs were going to get in the way if I tried this. I licked my lips, seeing that my fangs were gone, I didn't even feel them retract. I smiled, easily sliding my lips over his cock, taking the tip into my mouth with a slight suck. The groan I got in response was enough to let me know that he was okay with this and I took even more of him into my mouth, all the way to the bottom.

For some reason, my gag reflex was no more as he was much bigger than should have been able to fit into my mouth. I twirled my tongue around him and began to suck up and down, keeping a steady pace. His fingers tangled into my hair and began to move with me, pushing deeper and deeper. I cupped his balls and massaged them gently, making him lean his head back and breath my name, "Aethna…yesss…" I moved faster and faster, hearing his heart racing and breathing coming in pants. I moved my own hand down to my folds and began to circle my clit, then slid a finger into myself. I moaned onto his cock and he bucked in reaction.

His eyes looked down at me, seeing me pleasuring myself as I pleasured him. "Holy…please…let me…" I gave him a final deep suck before popping it out of my mouth. He groaned and lifted me off the ground, carrying me over to the bed. He tossed me and I bounced slightly before he took my legs in his arms and tugged me over to the edge. He bent onto his knees and lifted my legs to each side of his legs. His face disappeared and suddenly pleasure wrecked through me, his tongue and fingers working me to my point of climax. "Neville, I'm gonna…" I couldn't finish my sentence as bliss overcame me and I fell back onto the sheets, twisting my fists into the covers.

I was huffing already when Neville climbed on top of me and leaned down, kissing along my chest up to my neck as he entered me gently, sending more pleasure into my body. We moved together as we made love and I gripped him tight as I climaxed over and over, soaking the bed and making him call my name. I flipped us with ease, using my speed to keep us connected at our privates before rolling my hips into him, making him moan out. His hands found my hips and held me steady as I continued to buck and ride him faster and harder. He pulled himself up slightly, burying his face into my breast and muffling his sounds of passion.

Finally we were both spent and laying against each other in the floor of our clothes. All I could think about was the love we share, the feelings we have for each other, no matter what I did, he was all I wanted in this world. If I could change my life, be normal, but it meant he wasn't in my life…I don't think I would change it. My hand on his, my soul with his…it was everything I needed. I could fight it if I wanted…but we both knew there wasn't anything in this world or any world that would keep us apart. There was no point in causing problems if we were going to find each other eventually.
