I'm sorry this took a few days longer, I didn't know how I wanted Venus's time with Aro in this chapter to be..but I hope you find it cute and warming, and its Aro you never know with Aro. XD Still hope you all enjoy.


Venus and Marcus both stopped when they made it to Aro's office. The reason because they could hear Caius yelling, and that was never a good thing.

"Do you have any idea how worried VENUS WAS!" Marcus and her looked at one another calmly.

Their heads snapped back to the door, when Aro snarled back. "I had to leave!"

"You mean you had to leave her!" Caius snapped back, and that was how it continued.

Aro: "I couldn't control my anger, I had to avenge her!"

Caius: "You think I didn't want to! But, I knew it was more important to be here for her!"

Suddenly, Aro's voice went quiet. "My beast is a lot harder to control, and you know it. I didn't want to risk hurting her."

"You did hurt her." Caius hissed. "You left."

Marcus sighed, before simply opening the office door. "Brothers." Both snapped their gaze to him, before they took note of Venus's scent and heart beat.

"Venus." Aro whispered, looking towards her.

Her brown eyes welled with tears, as she ran right to him. Arms wrapped around his neck, while legs went around his waist. "Aro." She whispered, as tears streamed down her face. "I was so worried!"

"I am so sorry, piccolo." He breathed, holding her back. Guilt began to consume his very being as he could feel her stress through the bond. "I will make it up to you, I promise.".

"Please don't leave." She replied.

"I won't leave unless I have to." He promised softly, rubbing her back.

"I love you." Her words barely a breath of air, but he heard her.

"Please say it again?" He asked, almost afraid that it was a lie.

"I love you, Aro Volturi." She replied, through her tear stained face as she looked up at him. Pressing her lips against his soon after, he was gentle in his reciprocation of the kiss.

His red eyes glistened, as he smiled once pulling away. "I love you as well." The two embraced for quite a while longer, but Caius was still not as forgiving as she was.

"I thought you would be angry with him, you have every right to be." Her blonde lover hissed.

"Oh I am, but I am also relieved that he is home and safe." Venus replied simply, which made her dark haired lover purr loudly. "However, please Aro..don't worry me like that again."

"As I said, I will try my love." He promised softly. "Has, Caius been taking care of you?"

"More like she took care of him." Marcus whispered back. "She saw a small snip of his beast, but she did not run or cower. Our little Venus hugged our brother until he was better and calmer."

Aro's eyes went huge, before he felt anger enter his venom filled veins. "That was very dangerous."

"I know." Caius replied, but his own eyes softened. "But, our mate loves us so much. She doesn't care about the danger of our monsters, she simply cares for our well being."

"I do." Venus agreed instantly.

Aro was still not very happy. "You could have been very hurt, mia cara."

"I know." She replied. "But, making sure my mates are alright is worth the risk." That declaration made all three look at her.

"Mia cara." Marcus breathed in awe. "Oh, you have no idea how much that means to us."

Caius walked up, and gently pried her away from his brother who in turn snarled darkly at him. "Oh calm down, it's not like I'm a random vampire, or man for that matter." He snipped, before spinning his mate around to kiss her gently. "I love you, mi'amor." He added towards her.

"I love you to, Caius." She replied softly, before kissing him back.

Aro huffed in annoyance, making Venus giggle. His smile only returned once she had re-entered his arms. "Questo รจ dove appartieni. (This is where you belong.)" He whispered softly.

"Possessivo molto? (Possessive much?)" Caius questioned, chuckling when he received a very dark glare.

Almost instantly after, Venus felt a gush of wind all around, which told her Aro had dashed away from his brothers. "Babe?" She asked confused, when looking around to see the Italian dark sky.

"I thought we could stay out here tonight?" He whispered, as it was currently early spring, the weather wasn't extraordinary hot during the day; nor very cold at night.

"What?" She asked surprised, as she whipped around and saw a tent set up in the garden. "Oh Aro." She exclaimed in joy, as the garden was also lit with lanterns around.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Yes." She breathed, as they entered the tent. Her brown eyes landed on the air mattress inside the large extravagant tent, and blankets. "Cuddles?"

"Well, it would be no fun if I did not hold you tonight." He replied softly, while kissing her head gently.

Venus giggled, as she felt him lay her down. Once done he brought up a bowl of fruit, with smoked salmon and a bagel with cream cheese. This was normally a popular food for breakfast, but he tried and that was all that mattered to her. However, a second later she took note of a small flat velvet box.

Aro smiled, as she gently opened the flat box. Her eyes going huge at what was inside. "I hope you like."

"Aro." She breathed, as the beautiful emerald teardrop necklace, in a lovely silver chain and swirl on the gem. "It is beautiful."

The vampire purred, before he cuddled towards her, feeding her a grape from the fruit. Smiling as she giggled, head falling on his chest. He playfully scolding her when she herself went to grab a piece of fruit. "That is my job this evening."

"Aro?" Venus asked, as he placed a piece of pineapple at her lips. "Your being silly."

"I was under the impression, you liked me silly." He replied.

Brown eyes looked up at him. "I love you, the way you are."

"As I love you." He replied, kissing her lips. Even with the juice of the sweet and tangy fruit still upon him. "Hmm, perhaps human food isn't as bad as I thought. If it is upon your dazzling flesh."

Venus went from pale to beat red. "Aro." She squealed.

"What?" He asked, before touching the fruit to her neck before his lips followed; as if to test his hypothesis. A moan escaped her lips as he sucked on the flesh.

The next morning, Venus woke up slowly. Her head on top of something firm, yet comfortable. Eyes blinking open for a moment as she yawned and tried to cuddle deeper. The item or rather person who was her pillow started to chuckle.

"Good morning." The voice of Aro whispered, she smiled softly at the sound.

"Morning." She replied, looking up to kiss his jaw.

The vampire lord grinned, before kissing her softly. "Caius has already been here, wondering if you were still going to help him fix his studio." He whispered in confusion.

"Oh yes." Venus replied, looking up at him. "He sorta destroyed it, in his rage." She replied.

Aro's eyes went wide in shock. "I see."

"Yeah, I promised we would rebuild it together." She informed him. "Though he was quite adorable covered in paint."

Aro faltered at that. "Please tell him that."

"I'm not suicidal." She replied, and he started laughing.

"My smart mate." He replied, before motioning for her to get up. "Well may I place the necklace upon you?"

"You may." She replied with a giggle.

0.o.0

Aro being the perfect gentlemen, guided her to her room to get dressed in a simple tank top and shorts. He had once again faltered, as venom pulled in his mouth at the sight; but he refused to act on his lust. Though it did not help that she was wearing all black except for the elaborate necklace. However, her shorts were mid thigh and frayed..it was quite difficult on his person. Though her combat boots, made it slightly adorable.

He however was a smart man and decided not to comment on her appearance except for the casual, lust filled looks. Leading her straight to Caius's studio, where he listened to find his brother was not in yet. "Why don't you wait inside, and I will inform my brother where you are?"

"Alright." Venus whispered, as she turned to him. "Can I kiss you, first?" She asked, and he was only all too happy to oblige. "I love you."

"I love you to." Aro breathed, as he tried to keep his venom from rushing to a particular part of his anatomy. "May I ask, where you received your bottoms?"

Venus blushed. "I got hot, and so I cut a pair of old jeans." She replied.

"Well, they do look tantalising..I beg you not to go anywhere without one of us present. You make it quite hard to contain myself." His words surprised her, and made her blush.

"I'm sorry, it's just a little hot inside..and with the work I am about to do." She whispered, and his response was to kiss her again.

"I understand, just you look breathtakingly gorgeous..and I am a man." He replied, and she giggled.

"A very sexy man." Venus replied, and he chuckled.

"Well thank you, but you are very young...and I refuse to take advantage of you." He replied.

"Except to give me a damn hickey." Venus replied, and if he could he would be red.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice." Aro whispered.

"Aro, my skin might not be as white as yours..but I am still pale." She replied, before kissing him again. "Though guess this means Caius was right, you are possessive."

"Why do you say that?" He asked.

"Because, you claimed me as yours with this little mark." She replied, before disappearing into the studio.


Now, some of you might jump my case because she is young..however high schoolers are unfortunately engaging in more than just hickeys these days..so Aro gave her a hickey and became aroused at her appearance, he may be 3000 years old; but he is still a man! Probably a full functioning one, with a natural ability to please his lover.

Anyway, what did you all think? Also how will Caius react to her hickey?

(Oh you may wonder where is Charlie, Venus doesn't know he is there yet..I will get into that more in the next chapter.)

Nature Faustus.
