Dark Healer

Chapter 4

By Michiru

I'm super happy now because I got two reviews! *Huge grin* NOW… my answers to my reviews! Yes I think Janevon is indeed an absolute hotty. A guy of my dreams… not to mention Carpathian so definitely a part of my dreams! Though he's a bit… mmm… thick headed! *laugh* though I think he's adorable that way.

Now… I don't know if people thought that Nittia is supposed to be Christine Feehan?... because I created her from my own imagination… and a lot of my characters have at least one or two of my own traits. When it comes to Nittia, it's empathy. Yes indeed! I'm an empath… whether you choose to believe it or not… not my problem. I don't have telepathy nor do I have telekinesis, but yah.

I would be writing longer chapters and updating more often if it weren't for the fact that I'm going to college classes and I've been spending a lot of my time looking for a job… though my dream is to become an author… I still need to some how come up with money to pay for college. And I need to find a magazine that will publish my short story so my name is at least OUT there in the publishing field. If anybody knows of a good magazine that publishes stories from freelance writers that except Fantasy/romance short story's please let me know!

Well… let me say OOOOONE thing real quick before I start….. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! *Ahem* I'm done. Thank you again and on to the next chapter! Woot!

His head jerked up, his violet eyes looking strait into hers. Her touch had only made the urge to take her grow stronger. He surprised her as he wrapped an arm behind her and kissed her possessively.

Her world went on fire as the rain was forgotten and the ground shook beneath her feet. Her explored her mouth pressing her soft body against his hard demanding one. She moaned softly against his lips causing him to grow hard with painful need.

His hand moved to the back of her head gently tilting her head to give him access to her silky throat. His mouth moved down, his warm breath tickling and exciting her skin.

She felt a warm heat pool down between her legs as his lips touched her skin she gasped, his teeth nibbling along her soft skin. She could tell he was going to bite her and she longed for it desperately.

~Janevon were are you!?~ the voice of reason grumbled angrily in his head as he was about to bite down on her pure soft skin. /what am I doing?!/ he moved back quickly as if he had been burned. /maybe I'm closer to turning then I thought…/ His violet eyes glanced up to look at Nittia. She looked hurt and disappointed. /I broke her trust…/ he felt his heart pang, /mayhap she will never trust me again./

"I… I'm sorry Nittia… I'm… having trouble keeping the beast down…" He tried to explain. /what is the explanation for? I broke her trust… dang it!/

Nittia looked down trying to hide her hurt. /He doesn't want me… Figures… the only person who I ever wanted is the one who doesn't want me./ "Please take me to Mikhail…" her voice was soft as she tried to hide her hurt.

He could hear hurt, as her empathy couldn't prevent her from hiding it. He sighed and walked back up to her, as he told his body to behave, he picked her up in his arms, "I'm sorry Nittia." His voice had so much conviction in it that she had to believe him. Believe that he was sorry.

What he was sorry for, Nittia wasn't really sure. She wasn't able to say anything though as the scenery around them became nothing but a blur and the next thing she knew she was right in front of this huge mansion that must belong to Mikhail. For a moment her hurt was pushed aside as she let her fantasy's come true.

Janevon carried her into the doors and set her down. His back was to her as she followed him through the various halls to come to the Living room. At the door way she paused, nervous. She could see the crowd of Carpathian males scattered about the room, and two people sitting next to each other who just oozed power and leadership. A man and woman were looking in her direction, as she stood just out of sight of the Carpathian's.

Janevon could also feel her nervousness. He found himself also nervous, he wasn't sure why but he didn't like this feeling. His deep violet eyes looked into her doe brown ones, promising safety and protection. His hand came up in front of her and she hesitantly took it. As soon as their hands touched they both felt their bodies go on fire. Nittia was shocked, and again hurt to know that he wasn't her lifemate. She was so confused but let him lead her out into the room.

Immediately she felt all eyes on her, causing her more fear. Janevon moved a little hiding her from most of the eyes, and helping her to calm her nerves. Mikhail got up from his seat but Raven, his wife, beat him to her.

"You poor thing, you must be completely frightened!" Raven spoke as if she was lecturing Mikhail.

Nittia gave her a small smile, liking this woman already, "I'm just a little overwhelmed."

"And so you should! Just meeting one of these males can overwhelm one." She paused and looked back at Mikhail, Nittia could tell they were talking, Raven turned back to her, "Mikhail and I will try to make this as comfortable as possible… is that okay?"

/There are so many of those males… and all of them have emotions that are bombarding me, hope, need, lust…/ She sighs, /I hope they can make this comfortable for me…/. Nodding slowly she allowed Raven, Janevon, and Mikhail to lead her to a sofa and let her sit down. Raven sat on one side of her and Janevon on the other. He wasn't going to leave her side until this was done.

Janevon was fighting the beast that demanded he take Nittia away from them all, to protect her and to claim her as his own to make her cry out his name as he showed her the pleasures of love making. On the outside he looked calm and he still did all he could to help Nittia feel comfortable, pouring warmth over her.

"Are you ready Nittia" Raven asked, Nittia nodded and Mikhail allowed one male after another to come up in front of her.

Nittia tried to see something in these males, to help at least one of them stop fighting the urge to become a vampire, but as much as she tried, they just looked handsome but couldn't compare to Janevon. The last male left the room and Raven turned back to her, the hope she had, died as the last male left the room.

"Are you sure none of them are you're lifemate?" she tried one last time to allow hope to fill her heart.

Nittia looked over at Janevon, Merely looking at him caused her heart to flutter and butterflies to fly about in her stomach /He's not my lifemate… as much as I want it to be so. He won't even bed me… / she closed her eyes for a moment and looked back at Raven, "Yes… I'm sure." She could feel Raven and Mikhail's disappointment but she couldn't do anything about it, "I'm sorry…"

"It's not you're fault." Raven sighed once more and patted Nittia's shoulder, "Not every physic woman is a Carpathians lifemate."

/that's not exactly comforting/ Thought Nittia, but she forced herself to smile trying to help Raven feel better.

"I'll take you back to the Inn." Janevons' deep voice whispered out over her skin causing ripples to run down her spine.

"Alright." Her voice was nothing more than a whisper but he took her hand helping her stand. He bid farewell to his grandparents before leading Nittia outside, his hand clasping hers the whole way.

Raven sat there for a moment watching the two go and hope started to fill her heart again, "They're lifemates."

Mikhail sat next to his mate, "It seems that way… but Janevon might not realize it for a while."

"He always was thick headed when it came to girls. One thing Gregory couldn't teach him." She smiled and hugged Mikhail.

///////

Outside Nittia stopped Janevon as he was about to pick her up.

"What is it?" his voice was deep, he was struggling with himself so much right now. He was so afraid he might turn, and it was so hard to disobey the demands of his body.

His voice was causing mayhem with her body but she had to ask him to do this one thing for her, "Janevon?"

"Yes?"

"Will…" she paused feeling nervous /what if he says no?/ "…Will you sleep with me?" she forced the words out, her voice sounding unsure, as if she was afraid he would say no.

She had to ask that question didn't she… the one thing that was driving him insane and she was asking him to give in to his bodies demands. He couldn't stand this he had to have her! Her eyes were fearful as she looked up into his eyes, afraid he would deny her. His hand crept around her and brought her forcefully to his chest as he forced his lips down onto hers hungrily.

Her hands crept up behind his neck and tangled themselves up in his raven blue locks, she moaned against his lips already feeling like she was being consumed by fire.

His tongue ran along her lower lip teasing her into allowing him to plunder her mouth further. With a sigh her lips parted and he didn't wait a second to slip in deepening the kiss and pressing her soft plaint body against his. He was painfully hard and he knew he had to have her. He only let her go at last so they could both breath.

"Is that a yes?..." her soft voice causing him to grow harder.

"Oh God yes," He kissed her again and they were lost in each other for another few minutes.

"Don't we need to go somewhere private?" her mind was foggily trying to keep control as her body threatened to overwhelm it in fire and passion.

Janevon didn't say another word as he picked her up and using his supernatural speed brought her to his cabin. He flicked his finger causing the fireplace to light, illumination the cabin in a warm light. It was a one room cabin with the bed close to the fireplace. /perfect/ He thought as he carried her into the cabin and set her down on his bed.

Nittia looked up at him to see his violet eyes burning down into his with hunger and need. His eyes caused her body to ignite on fire. He moved slowly onto the bed moving towards her like a wolf sneaking onto its prey. She shivered, she was his prey.

He kissed her again gently pushing her down onto the bed immediately deepening the kiss as she moaned against him.
