The passion Henry and Vicki shared was unbridled. The way their bodies responded to one another was almost magical.

Henry put Vicki gently on the bed and began to slowly undress her. She did the same to him. He bit gently on her neck causing a soft moan to escape from her throat. He undressed her so quickly, she didn't notice, lost in the passion between them. He stood in front of her, undressing slowly, just to tease her. She leaned up on her elbows, completely nude in front of him.

He drank in every part of her beautiful body with is eyes as she did the same with him.

"Damn, you don't look a day over 350" she said hoarsely,with a teasing grin. His eyes bled to black as he dove back onto her, nibbling her neck. "Have you fed?" she whispered.

"I don't need to anymore, I've passed that point now." She pushed him off of her, eyes wide. "You did?" Henry nodded. When Vicki met her half-sister Maggie a little over two months ago, Maggie's husband, also a vampire, had invented a synthetic blood product that changed the chemistry of a vampire's blood, letting them lead a more "normal" life as in no need for fresh human blood. Normally, it would take 4 -6 months, it had only been two. Henry had given up a lifetime of what he knew for Vicki, this was what had changed her so much.

He had given up other women, the feeding, the orgasmic experience with each one, just for her. She knew then that they would be able to try and have a life, that's when she was able to let go of some of her demons.

"Oh, Henry, that's wonderful," but Henry sensed she was a little disappointed and he knew why. He smiled.

"What, why are you looking at me like that?"

"That is not to say that WE won't still have your feedings." She smiled back , relieved because she had never experienced anything in her life like what she had with Henry. It wasn's just lust and sex, it was complete connection. He was her soulmate and she knew it. She knew that as long as she lived, she would never be completed by any man as she was with Henry. She was happy for the first time in her life, really happy she had finally let go, a little anyway.

Henry continued where he left off, gently taking her breasts, first one then the other, in his mouth while she exlpored his entire body with her hands. He bit softly and she squealed with delight. He knew he could bring her with just one bite, but he liked to linger, to make it more enjoyable for her and to enjoy her longer too.

Her breath was coming in quick pants and as Henry entered her, she shuddered, head to toe in pleasure. They met each other in perfect rhythm as always and just before the explosion of pleasure they both felt, Henry took her neck in his mouth and bit.

For both, it was like waves of the ocean, fireworks nothing in this world could possibly match the pleasure they both felt, the love for one another. When it was over, they lay beside each other. Henry stroked her hair, she rubbed his face.

"You know, this is almost like a drug, addictive, " Henry said. She nodded, "I know, and I never want to go to rehab for it, not ever. I need to ask you something though," she became serious.

"What is it?" he said, furrowing his brow.

"Why did you do it? Why did you give up your whole life for me? I'm not the easiest person in the world to be with, I'm sure you are aware of that."

He was very careful as he chose his words, "You are a challenge Vicki Nelson, you made me really work to win you over." She leaned up on one elbow, still nude, still beautiful in his eyes, "Oh, I'm some kind of challenge am I?" she said with what Henry interpreted as a touch of pissed offness-something he didn't want to do.

Henry laughed, "Well, yes, but of course the most important reason is because I have never and will never love another woman the way Iove you. Not if I live to be 1000 years old." He leaned into kiss her and when he pulled back, she was crying, something that did not happen very often with Vicki Nelson nor very easily.

"Why are you crying?" She shook her head, trying to stop the tears. Henry held her, comforted her.

"Was it something I said," he asked pleadingly. She nodded yes-OH NO BAD HENRY- he thought.

"It's just...it's just..." she was regaining control," I'll grow old and ugly and you won't want me" she turned away from him. He turned her back toward him.

"Victoria Nelson, I dont' care about that, do you understand me? I don't care, but remember, if you ever do decide to have a child, you will stop aging, remember? But I don't want that to be a reason for you to have my baby." Vicki looked at him in disbelief.

"You want to have a baby? With me? Why?" Henry smiled at her again, "I told you, I LOVE YOU, just you, only you." She looked down and said softly, "Men don't stay after children come along remember?" He held her more tightly, kissing her on top of the head and said, "I will NEVER leave you, never ever. I give my word, my promise, my life."

Even though deep deep down she knew this, there were still many wounds to heal. It would take more that fantabulous lovemaking and promises of things to make her believe-hell, it might actually take a baby...
