She is a long one guys, so with that said. As a warning

Disclaimers: The following chapter has a very very OCC Caius and some sexual activities, if you do not like either one of these. Leave now!


Venus could not remember when she had honestly slept peacefully, it seemed like an eternity as she tossed and turned even now. Caius had decided it best not to press too far with her trust, and she agreed. Sleeping in his bed was one thing, sleeping beside him in his bed was a whole other ball game. So, he sat in his private study for the entire week, or with Aro who was still a wreck; waiting for the time she called for him.

Her pride and hurt however stood in her way, as she stood to go through the many books he had scattered about. Deciding a bit of light reading would do her some good, as she shuffled about and found a journal. It had been well hidden within the stack he had, at the bottom in fact. Lying there untouched with dust, a torn spine, and worn leather. Holding an old musty scent, with a hint of ink that caught her curiosity.

"Don't open that." A voice startled her, making her jump in surprise. Looking over to see her blonde mate standing in the shadows. "I heard you moving about, and became worried." He explained, for his sudden appearance.

"What is this?" She asked softly, and he grew surprised at her bold question.

Caius however eventually shook his head and walk forward, kneeling down in front of her. His red eyes clouded with uncertainty as he gazed at the journal in her hand. "It is a journal I have written through the years, I have many from before the Volturi was formed to now."

"You worry about what I will learn?" She asked, and he nodded.

"In my early days I was fortunate to remember all of my human life, not many do. I did not want to forget so, I wrote it down. Transferring them all later to the journals." He answered softly. "I was not a good man, when I was human."

Venus eyed him for a moment. "I doubt that." That caused him to look up at her in surprise. "Caius, things were very different 3000 years ago. I'm not going to judge you for a human life, that I know nothing about."

His red eyes scanned her for a moment, before he took the journal and opened to the third page, where a hand painted photo resided. "Here." He showed her softly.

"You were a gladiator?" She asked not overly surprised, as she stared at the image. The armor and helmet standing out against the pale skin, as she looked deep into the blue eyes of the portrait.

"I was a slave, who was forced to be a gladiator to survive." Caius replied bitterly. "Your history books speak about the violence and the blood, that was just the start of the games." His voice sounded dry, as he shook slightly.

Venus closed the book and placed it down beside her, before holding her arms out. "Come here." He didn't need to be told twice, his torso now between her legs in order to nuzzle his head in her stomach. Her arms wrapping around him softly, as she sighed softly.

"People used to look at me with distrust, unforgiving hatred." He whispered. "I associated that with the thoughts of 'I was doing a good job.' I carried that into my immortal life, as vampires usually do not trust me."

"Caius." She whispered, understanding where he was going. "I trust you to never cause me physical harm, I trust that you love me as much as I love you. I fear being sent away again, with the feeling of my heart ripped out of my chest."

He whimpered at that. "I am so sorry." His voice barely a whisper, but it seemed this was everything she needed.

"Come to bed." She told him, earning a look of surprise. "Do I really have to say it again?"

"No." He replied instantly, nuzzling into her once more before picking his mate up to carry her into their bed.

"I love you." She whispered to him softly, turning in his arms so her back was to him.

He took it however, as it meant he could hold her once again. Lips touching her head, pulling her closer to his chest. "I love you, Mia cara. Please don't ever doubt that."

"I don't, I know you, Aro, and Marcus love me. I know you did what you did for my safety, but I had deserved a say in how that was done." She told him, turning to face him. His red eyes wide when he thought about that. "All those decisions were made without me, I understood that going to the Cullens was for the best. However, I didn't deserve being in the dark."

Caius froze, his eyes wide. "Baby, your right." He whispered. "We should have spoken with you, not deceived you like that. I am truly sorry, and I will do whatever it takes to prove that to you."

Venus was silent for just a moment, before slowly pressing her lips to his. The response was immediate, a loud motor like purr started from his chest; before he kissed back. Remapping one another's mouths as if they had honestly forgotten the path in their frenzy. "You know, Demetri did not lie." She gasped when she could finally breathe apart from the kiss.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"I did scream out your name in the midst of pleasure." She admitted, which earned red eyes to turn black. "Want to test if my fantasies are accurate?"

A growl of pleasure ripped from his throat, before he took a deep breath. "Are you sure, I don't want you to regret."

"I would never regret this." She purred out, as he gently pushed her down. Kissing her lips softly, before traveling down; ripping the clothing as he went.

"We will not go all the way tonight, as I want you to completely trust me first." He told her, and she nodded softly. "However, you will experience pleasure that you could never imagine." Hissing softly, as he kissed her stomach, licking the navel. The gasp seemed to be what he was waiting for, as he launched back up to her lips; crashing his to hers.

In that moment, something in Venus snapped. Her arms wrapped around his neck, like they used to. Legs moved to secure him by the waist, and hold him close to her. Almost forbidding him to go anywhere, two years ago this would be where they would stop; now she was 18. Now, he could have her if he wanted to, and she would not stop him. He released her lips, to once again travel down the length of her neck. Leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses in his wake, grazing his sharp fangs against her heated pulse for a fraction of a second.

"May I?" He asked softly.

Venus was confused for a moment, before she realized what he was asking. "Yes." She whispered, a gasp escaping her as the sharp pain of him biting into her pulse was intense; before pleasure took its place. As she was claimed as his with that bite, every vampire who laid eyes on that mark would know, this human was claimed by Caius Volturi. Replacing the scar with his own mark, as he drank a few sips of her sweet life source; before closing the wound with a swipe of his tongue.

"Your blood taste delicious, I could take a few sips every day and never need to kill again." He whispered to her. "But, I fear me becoming greedy to stop."

"My cheesy mate is back." She whispered in response.

"He never left." Was the response, before he trailed to her now completely bare chest. His could fingers trailed up her side's, coming to gently graze against her breasts. Lips kissing between them, before he took the left nipple into his mouth. Sucking, and occasionally nipping down on the flesh.

Venus squealed, as the attention traveled to her very heated core. Leaving her restless and desperate for more, mews and whimpers of pleasure escaping her lips. "Caius." She gasped, when one hand traveled down to rub her panty covered clit.

"You are so hot, did I do that?" He asked cheekily, while blowing cold air on her now very hard and wet nipple.

"Fuck….Caius, please." She gasped, and he smiled down at her softly.

"Guess I should find out for myself." He teased, before trailing down her body. Not before rubbing a bit of venom all over her right nipple, causing it to tingle and heat up along with her left. With one finger hooking through her underwear, he tore it free from her body; having lost patience. Strands of her arousal pulled away, as if it had been kissing her tight hot cunt.

Venus wasn't really sure what to expect, his cold lips to practically dive to her however; was quite the surprise. A very delicious surprise at that. She gasped out, when his tongue darted out against her heated. Circling her tight bundle of nerves, but never quite touching it. His hand traveled down to her entrance in order to stick a finger inside. The feeling of being filled by Caius, even if it was just his finger made her writhe in a pleasure she had never felt before; certainly not by a man's touch.

"This is how it feels to make love, Mia Cara. Something when the time comes, I will do to you with my entire being." He told her softly, while slipping another finger into her tight heat; before closing his mouth around her clit. She came then, her cunt gushed all over his face as he desperately tried to lick it all like a man possessed. "You can ejaculate, squirt your essence all over your mates."

"Caius." She purred out, as he moved away from her heat to wrap her into his arms.

"Yes?" He whispered.

"Your incredible." She told him softly.

He smirked. "I know."

0.o.0

The next morning, Caius went into the shared study allowing Venus to sleep in. Having not cleaned her arousal off of his lips, caused both his brothers to be on him like a bee to a flower. "What?" He asked innocently.

"You no good-" Marcus started, growling as he went.

"Bastard." Aro spat, venom hitting Caius in the face.

He sighed annoyed, while staring at his brothers. "I only ate her out." The growls that followed were loud and sharp. "Don't give me that shit."

"Brother." Marcus hissed.

Aro narrowed his eyes at him."How did you-"

"Venus and I had a long talk, before she let me into our bed; where were enjoyed our activities." Caius replied. "I will not say what was said, you two need to man up and talk to her."

"We did-"

"No Aro, you didn't!" Caius snapped. "You had a pity session on a plane, that is not talking. That was whining, open your mouth and speak with her." It was harsh, but his brothers would not get anywhere without reality checks. "She's our mate, she deserves to be loved and cared for. Not to be left out in the dark, when our decisions affect her as well."

Aro stormed out, clearly not understanding. Caius understood he did, the man was not used to swallowing his pride and admitting when he is wrong. However, he needed to do so. Marcus on the other hand, seemed to get it.

"Thank you, brother." The older looking of the three breathed, while the blonde nodded. "Aro will realize soon, he is just stubborn."

"Aro, stubborn?" The voice of their mate spoke, making both Caius and Marcus look at her. The mark her blonde mate left visible for all to see, permanent in its wake. "Never, not Aro." Well, she was in a better mood.

"Mia Cara." Marcus breathed. "May I speak with you in the garden this afternoon, we could have a nice picnic lunch?"

Venus looked to him, it had been we week since she returned after all. She would let him talk. "You can."

"I look forward to it." As he grinned, and began to walk away.

Her brown eyes watched as he went to walk away. "Oh kiss me!" She exclaimed, and Marcus did not have to be told twice.


What did you think, I want everyone to realize she has not 100 % forgiven them yet, in case that is what you believe. However, as it has been said in the past she was more open to Caius as he had made the only effort. I hoped I showed how prideful Aro truly is, that may have not been as strong; but we all know he is.
