Chapter 8

My body on top of his, we were entangled with each other. Seth moaned at my touch. I love how my slightest touch brings such a reaction. Seth's body was extremely sensitive and I used that sensitivity against him.

"Quit teasing me" he exclaimed. Grinning, I moved towards his face. His body struggled underneath mine. I pressed a kiss to his lips, kissing with such passion that I forgot about my fangs. Seth gasped in pain and grabbed his lip. Moving his hand away, I noticed the blood. Licking my lips, the taste of his blood shot electricity within me. The animal that has been buried deep inside of me since Seth came into my life suddenly lunged to the surface.

A growl escaped my lips. I gripped the grass around Seth while still leaning over him. My head hung low while I tried to regain control of my animal instincts that have been a part of me for so long. Seth's blood tasted like nothing I have ever experienced. My body was crazy for more while my mind was trying to recollect myself.

A hand cupping my face jerked me from my inner struggle. I lift my head to see Seth staring me in the eye with a look, not of fear, but of love. He brought my face to his and kissed me without hesitation. The taste of his blood lingered in his mouth but this time I was able to keep control. The faith Seth had in me held more power than the animal still in side.

Seth moaned as I teasingly crawled down his body outlining every inch of skin with my tongue. I gently sucked on his nipple and then bit at the other one. I laughed to myself at the urgency of Seth's moan. Slowly I kissed at his happy trail till I finally came to his groin. Wanting to prolong the moment I nipped around the area and brushed it slightly with my tongue.

"Oh!" Seth groaned. "Such a tease." Grinning, I then looked down and wrapped my hand around my lover's erection and began to kiss the tip.

Loudly Seth groaned and his abdomen yanked at the sudden intense pleasure. Without wasting another second I wrapped my lips around the head of Seth's erection and began to ravish him.

Sounds of pleasure erupted from Seth. He struggled under me as I paused to suck his tip. "Don't stop" Seth begged. "Please." One of his hands was gripping my hair while the other clawed at my back.

Before Seth could climax I began to make my way up to his face. Licking and nipping at all visible skin. Seth grabbed my face and passionately kissed me. Our tongues danced inside our mouths while I rubbed my hand up and down his back. He looked so small to me with his naked body lying under me. His legs wrapped around my body while his hands were twined in my hair.

Pulling away from Seth I whispered, "Do you want me to stop?" I did not want to go any further if he wasn't ready for it yet. I knew that I was ready to have him fully but Seth was younger. He might not be as ready as I am. He shook his head violently and he said, "Please, don't stop!"

That was all he had to say.

Seth's head fell on my chest, as he continued breathing heavily. I pressed a kiss to his forehead while wrapping my arms around him.

We were both quiet for a moment before he finally spoke, "you okay?" His question confused me. How could he even ask that? What could not be okay?

"What? Yea! Of course I am! Why would you even have to ask that?" I lifted up my body so that I was directly in front of his face.

"Well, you weren't really saying anything so I thought maybe you were regretting something or maybe I did something wrong." My heart ached at his response. I was furious that he could think of such of an absurd thing.

"Of course I don't regret anything!" I growled. "I just made love to the most important person in my life, how could I regret that?" Seth looked at me with sad eyes that softened me. How could I be mad at someone who looks like that? I thought. I kissed him softly on the lips, "I regret nothing about tonight. I was worried about pressuring you and you were worrying about whether or not you did something wrong?"

He looked away from me in embarrassment. "Well, yea. I'm sorry if you think it's stupid but it's not to me."

"Yes I think it's stupid!" I shouted. "It's fucking ridiculous! You did nothing wrong! You did everything perfect!" I started to soften my voice, "Being with you was perfect. I couldn't imagine anyone else Seth." Tears began falling from his face and I embraced him in a soft kiss.

The kiss didn't last long but seemed to fix all the doubts he was having because he then laid back down on my chest and quickly fell asleep.

The sun glistened off his naked body. Seth looked angelic lying in my arms. Breathing in, Seth's natural fragrance filled my lungs. His scent made my body tingle.

Seth's hair was messy, strands covered his face. Smiling, I gently brushed away the strands while whispering, "How beautiful." Seth was truly beautiful inside and out. He had a beautiful and loving soul that had revived the soul within me. He made me more human than I ever thought was possible.

Our connection and love had strengthened and deepened after last night. Seth was a part of me, as I am now a part of him. The moment seemed to last forever, loving each other with kisses and gentle bites. I have never felt this passionately about anything in my life and the feeling overwhelmed me. Even kind of frightened me. For once since I've been a vampire I felt vulnerable and powerless.

Suddenly, Seth began to stir. I loved watching his same ritual when he woke up, stretching while taking a big yawn. He wiped the sleep away from his eyes and smiled.

"Sleep well my love?" I asked as I placed a kiss to his lips.

"Always do when I'm in your arms." He looked at me with such adoration that it gave me butterflies.

"Then in my arms you shall sleep forever." He giggled as I teasingly bit at his neck. We both laughed as we wrestled in the grass. I could see that he put all his strength in it as he tried to fight against me but his efforts were futile. Finally, after watching Seth struggled to pin me down, I gave in and let him. He sat on top of me as he held my hands to the ground, breathing heavily. I couldn't stop myself from chuckling at the fact that Seth was already worn out.

"What you think you're laughing at? That was me using my actual strength; you cheat with your vampire strength." He grinned, while bending down to kiss me quickly on the lips. "But, that strength of yours didn't come in handy this time, because I still whooped your tail" he chuckled as he let up off my arms to put his hands on his hips.

In an instant I grabbed him and was on top of him holding his hands down. "Who whooped who, now?"

Seth pouted, while wiggling his arms under my hands. "So not fair," he huffed, "another vampire cheat." I laughed loudly at him before I rolled over to look at the sky.

Putting my hands behind my head, I began looking over the sudden darkness of the clouds that were approaching. A moment ago, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Now, it looked like the world was coming to an end. How quickly things changed. In an instant the weather changed rapidly, from calm and peaceful, to what look like there was going to be a raging storm. Nothing lasted forever, and in a moment everything around you could alter. The thought made me uneasy, bringing a sickening feeling to my stomach.

Turning over, I gazed into Seth's eyes. "Promise me something?" I asked.

Seth then turned over to lean on his left arm. He gave me a smile that was both playful and serious. He chuckled as he replied "anything." He stared at me, waiting for me to say something.

It took me a moment to speak. I just continued staring at him lovingly. Seth did not press me to continue; he just quietly sat there and waited for my response. Finally I said, "Promise me, that after the situation is finished with the Cullen's, that we can run away together. Let's just leave our old lives behind us and create a new one just the two of us." I continued looking in Seth's eyes. Seth's face presented shock before turning into a face filled with concern. He did not say anything for a moment and his hesitation struck worry in my heart.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally spoke. "I can't run away with you." The words hit me like a dagger in the heart, and my world felt like it was suddenly closing in.
