Lemons in this chapter! Remember to review!
Claire POV
I stopped breathing. I couldn't think, I could only stare blankly at Myrnin like he'd grown a second head. Finally, I found my voice.
"W-What did you say…?"
"You heard me perfectly clear, Claire. And I am sorry. None of us knew you were here, but the decision's been made."
"So un-make it!But don't bring everything I was trying to get away from back into my life!"
"I'm sorry Claire, but you know Amelie. Once she make a decision, there's very little that can change her mind."
He walked up to me slowly and hugged me tight. I clung to him. I had missed him, despite the circumstances. It wasn't until he pulled away and brushed his fingers across my cheek that I realized I had started crying.
"What are you running away from…?" He asked gently.
It was then that I realized that my brothers and Reid were being uncharacteristically quiet. I turned to look at them and got lost in Reid's icy blue orbs before turning back to Myrnin with my answer.
"I'm not running away from anything. I'm running to my future. I miss a lot of things from Morganville, but Morganville is my past,"
Reid walked up behind me and put his arms around my waist.
"Reid, and Ipswich are my future."
And with that, I left Nicky's.
The next day was, as to be expected, stressful. Myrnin came over and told us the process of which Morganville would be moved to Ipswich. I couldn't speak. I couldn't hardly breathe…How could Amelie do this to me?
"Claire?"
I looked up at my brother, who had spoken.
"Huh?"
"Are you paying attention?"
I laughed without humor.
"Of course…"
"Oh. My bad. Continue, please, Myrnin."
"As I was saying, Amelie won't risk the same problems of Morganville. She'll change laws, and, now that she knows about you all, she'll want you to help enforce these laws to both human and vampire."
"But, how does she want us to do this. And what makes you think we agree to all this?" Pogue said.
"Ask Claire. She'll tell you as easily as I could that you will have no choice in the matter."
They all looked at me with stricken faces. I hated it, but I couldn't lie to them. I nodded.
"It's true. You won't have any say in it. Either you help them, or suffer the consequences." I informed them.
"But there's gotta be something we can do." Caleb said, and I could read the panic in his eyes. He'd already almost lost me once, he didn't want to lose me.
I'll be fine, Caleb," I looked at the clock and read 1:23 in the morning, "It's late. We need to sleep around here. Boys, I assume you are sleeping here tonight?"
A chorus of yeses met my ears. "Alrighty then. Reid, Can you meet me up in my room?"
"Sure thing. I'll be there after I change."
"Reid…" Caleb trailed off warningly as I left the room. It had been a long day
No one's P.O.V
Claire started when a knock sounded at her door "Come in."
Reid walked in, looking kind of apprehensive. It worried her.
"What's wrong?' she asked as he moved closer, until he was standing in between her knees.
He suddenly dropped to his knees and buried his head in her shoulder. Now she was really worried.
"Reid…?"
"Just…give me a minute."
So it was silent for a few moments. she broke it.
"Reid. I want you to kiss me."
He looked up at her, smirking, but it looked kind of forced.
"With pleasure," He said.
And boy, did he kiss her. He kissed her like the world was ending around them and they would never get another chance. In a way, it was, and they didn't. But there was more than that. There was love and there was unmistakable lust. He started to pull away. She put her mouth to his ear and whispered, "Take me."
He groaned.
"Please?" she asked, pulling back to look in his eyes. She saw lust and passion and love in his, which she knew he found in mine.
His lips found hers again as he took off her shirt. He then kissed a trail down her jaw and neck to her collarbone.
"No…No fair." she breathed out.
He yanked his shirt off and continued kissing down her body as he laid her down. His lips found a rosy nipple and he sucked and bit, eliciting a long moan from the woman beneath him.
"Reid…please."
"Please what?"
"Please, just take me!" She exclaimed quietly.
He made quick work of their sleeping pants and positioned himself.
"You still on the pill?" he panted out.
"Yes!" she gasped out.
And he slid into her. It shocked him a little.
'She's not a virgin?'
But that didn't stop him at all. He started soft and gentle and only sped up on her command.
" Harder! Fuck me harder!" She moaned. And he did.
By this time, they were both a panting, moaning mess.
"Ungh, gonna…cum." He grunted.
With that, she let out a long moan and came, him following shortly after.
They both collapsed on the bed, panting.
"That was…wow." Claire whiepered.
"Yeah…" But he was distracted. Claire gave her virginity to that Shane guy?
"Hey, what's wrong?" Claire asked.
"You…you gave him you r virginity?"
Claire tensed. She knew this was gonna come up.
"Well, yes. I thought I loved him. But, it turns out he used me, I guess. I love you, and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it. I should've waited for you…" She finished sadly.
"Hey, look at me. I love you too, and I would never, ever hurt you like that." He kissed her softly."Now, let's get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow.
" You're right."
And with that, they turned off the light and fell asleep in each other's arms, content to leave tomorrow to tomorrow.
