Chapter 6
I woke up to the feel of someone cuddling up to me. I felt my panic rise. I didn't know who this person was. I whipped my head behind me and saw that it was Fleur. The memories of last night came flooding back to me. I let out a sigh of relief.
I then realized she was still nude. I felt her breasts pressed up against my back. My heart rate picked up and I fought to control my body. When I managed to do so, I relaxed and let my thoughts wonder.
I thought more about the events of last night. After last night, I knew. I knew she was sincere. The fact that I'm still here, alive was enough. In my heart, I knew she was my mate. A huge smile formed onto my lips. I was ecstatic, relieved, charmed, and unbelievably happy.
I turned my body so that I was facing her. I gently shook her, "Fleur."
I got no response, "Fleur?" I shook her a little harder this time.
She frowned and mumbled, "Hermione, love, please, must you kick me out as soon as the sun rises?" she asked, snuggling into the pillow.
"I'm not waking you up for that." I said, rolling my eyes.
Her head shot off the pillow, "Really? Why did you wake me up?" she asked seductively with a smile, leaning closer to my face. She wakes up fast.
"Not that either." I said, leaning back.
Fleur face was one of disappointment. "Good night." She said, putting her head back onto the pillow and tried to fall back asleep.
"Fleur!" I said, shaking her, violently.
"What?" She said lifting her head.
"I want to talk to you." I said.
She raised an eyebrow, "You won't kick me out?"
"Like I could. You seem to be the dominant one." I said.
Fleur smiled, "What makes you say that?"
"You got your way, sleeping in my bed. You got me to…kiss you." I said embarrassed.
Fleur smile widened, "I was just proving to you that I won't force you to do anything. I went easy on you, you know."
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"My thrall…I didn't use it on you full force. It is actually much more powerful than that."
My eyes widened. I couldn't imagine her thrall being more powerful. I guess Veelas really are the most dangerous predators.
"Okay." I said weakly.
"You said to do it." She said
"Yeah, I know." I said annoyed. I honestly didn't think it would affect me that much.
"How did you get legs?" I asked her.
She propped herself so that she was leaning her head on her hand and her elbow on the pillow. She smiled, "Ah, I was wondering how long it would take for you to ask me that. Unlike other sea creatures, Veelas have the ability to grow legs. It makes mating much easier." She said with a wink at the end.
I blushed. "Oh."
Silence filled the air before I asked, "How old are you?"
She winced, "I should have expected that. I won't give you an exact number but I will say that I'm just above 17. My parents are well over 90."
Had it not been for the seriousness of her tone and expression, I would have thought she was joking. My mouth dropped, "What?"
She covered her eyes with her hand, "Please don't make me say it again."
"How can your parents be 90? Not even my grandparents are that old." I said.
She narrowed her eyes, "First, I would not mention that to them when you meet them. Veelas are sensitive about their age."
She was already planning on me meeting them? "What do you mean meet them?"
"My parents want to meet you, my mate." She said.
"Alright." I said, a little stunned.
"Veelas are immortal. That's one of our biggest secrets." She said seriously.
"Really?" I asked surprised.
Fleur scooted closer to me, "This is very important, Hermione. Once a Veela finds her mate, her life revolves around her mate. We live for our mate. If something tragic were to happen to them, we would…follow our mate."
I understood what she meant, fear engulfed me. "Fleur…I'm not immortal."
Fleur nodded, "I know." Fleur cupped my cheek and looked into my eyes, "That's why Veelas make their mate immortal. We have the power to do that. It's not clear why, though."
"How do Veelas make their mates immortal?" I asked.
"I'm not sure how to explain it. The decision is up to you. If you do not want to be immortal, I won't force you. I would be lying if I were to say that I didn't want to live with you forever, because I do."
I was completely blown away, me immortal? "I-I'm not sure if I could do that, Fleur. I would be leaving everyone I love behind, my family."
"I can make them immortal too. They can live forever as well." Fleur said.
I shook my head, "I don't know."
Fleur nodded, "Let me know when you decide."
I had a very strong feeling that she knew I would pick to live with her forever. I was almost positive that I would choose to live with her forever, but I didn't know completely.
"Okay." I said.
Another silence filled the air, "Are you opposed to marriage?" she asked.
My head shot in her direction, "Marriage?"
"Is that not what you call it?" she asked confused.
I nodded, "Yes, we call it that but why do you ask?"
"Answer the question first." She said.
"Why do you ask?" I insisted.
Fleur narrowed her eyes, "Answer the question first."
"Fleur!" I said, irritated.
"Why can't you just answer the question?" She asked.
"Fine! No, I'm not opposed." I said, annoyed.
Fleur had a huge satisfied smile on her face, "Something tells me that I will be the one dominant in bed."
I blushed, "Your turn." I said, ignoring her comment.
Fleur shrugged, "Veelas want to get married to their mates as soon as they can."
"Fleur…we don't know each other that well." I said.
Fleur waved her hand, "It does not matter. Veelas and their mates are naturally compatible. A Veela's mate is born specifically for that particular Veela. Meaning, there is no way that we wouldn't love each other. It is impossible for a Veela and her mate to dislike each other, much less hate. As time passes, we will grow to love each other more and more. There is no chance of a Veela and her mate splitting up."
Hearing this both excited me and terrified me. It more excited me more than it did scare me I could honestly say.
"What about children? How does that happen?" I asked.
Fleur gave me a wide grin, "We make love, Hermione."
I blushed and said, "I figured that, but-"
Fleur chuckled and held up her hand, "I know what you meant; I was just playing with you."
"You would get me pregnant and I would carry the offspring around for eighteen months." She said.
I was in horror, "Eighteen months?" Why are Veelas so excited to get pregnant?
Fleur laughed, "Every species is different Hermione. Humans carry for nine months, a lioness can be pregnant for 108 days, a dolphin can be pregnant for a year-"
I held up my hands, "Okay, I get it." I was shocked to say the least. Fleur pregnant for eighteen months? How moody will she be? What will she crave?
As if reading my mind, Fleur chuckled, "That is the least of your worries. When a Veela is pregnant, her desire to make love to her mate increases. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you never left the bed."
I scoffed, "I would die from exhaustion!" I said.
"Not if you were immortal." She said, winking at me.
I blushed and she asked, "You do want children, right Hermione?" Her voice was laced with fear.
I nodded, "Yeah, of course."
She let out a sigh of relief.
"How does that work? We're both female." I asked.
"Aah. You want to talk about making love. My favorite subject." She said with a grin.
'I know.' I thought before taking a pillow and smacking her in the face with it.
She just laughed. "I swear, I will get you comfortable talking about the subject."
"I doubt it." I said.
She shrugged, "Anyway, Veelas mate by having their partner…grow a phallus, and then, well, I'm sure you know how it works."
My mouth dropped and my eyes widened, "What?"
She didn't say anything. She just waited for my reaction.
"Y-You're telling me…that you will make me grow a-a…penis?"
Fleur gave me a loving smile. "You're not the only one who can do magic, eh?"
I got up from the bed and started pacing. Thoughts were running through my mind fast.
"Does it really bother you that much, love?" Fleur asked, worriedly.
I stopped pacing and looked at her, "I-I just…I wasn't expecting that."
Fleur nodded, "I understand."
I saw the look of hurt and sadness in her eyes. I instantly wanted to comfort her. I went to her side of the bed and kneeled down, looking into her eyes.
"Fleur, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I can do it. Just give me time to get use to the idea." I said.
She looked at me with a smile, "You will do it? You will have a baby with me?"
I smiled, "Yeah."
"I don't want you to do it if you are uncomfortable with the idea." She said
I shook my head, "I'm not. I want to. Plus, a part of me is curious."
Fleur grinned seductively, "We can practice any time you want, love."
I blushed.
What do you think?
I'm not too sure about this chapter. Should I redo it?
Sorry if the fact that Hermione has to grow one steams you. I didn't really see another way. If most people hate it, I guess I could try and figure something else out.
