Yuki's POV

I slide from the bed when the sun began to fall, but not before looking back to see if my lover was still asleep. I sighed and slipped on the green bath robe that lay at the end of the bed. I was careful to walk slowly toward the bathroom for the pain between my legs was evident. I padded into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. While the water ran, I turned to the full length mirror and looked at my reflect. I picked up the red brush that sat on the counter and ran it through my long hair.

'Kaname was true to his word. I'm sure that had I been human still he would have broken me and if he hadn't well there would be MANY bruises and bite marks...well he would have killed me if I hadn't been stronger. But still if that what he calls punishment, I need to act up more often..' Even in my thoughts I couldn't hold a grudge against the man that had long ago taken my heart. 'However, he did turn out to be quite a passionate lover.' The steam from the water began to cloud the mirror's top; I set the brush down on the counter once more. I sat on the edge of the tub and ran my hand absentmindedly through the hot water. Once the water was an inch away from overflowing, I turned off the faucet and took of the robe then slid into the water. I could feel eyes on me during this whole process.

"Weren't you asleep?" I questioned, without opening my eyes. My voice was still heavy from sleeping and the warm water didn't do much for it either.

"Yes. But you leaving the bed left me with quite a restless dream," I couldn't find it in me at the moment to feel guilty about leaving him with his nightmare.

"Mm…I don't even have it in me to feel guilty about that right now, Kaname. The water feels so good right now…" I looked over as the sound of the door closing and the lock clinking into place reached my ears. I opened my eyes and looked toward Kaname. I blushed furiously as I noticed that he was naked and now walking toward me. Once he reached the huge oval tub, he slid in on the opposite side of me. He chuckled at the blush on my face.

"After last night, you still blush at my nakedness," he assessed his dark eyebrows arching toward his hairline.

"Well it was pretty dark then…" I mumbled. He laughed out right. I smiled and couldn't stop my self from moving over to him. I laid back against his chest once I reached him. His arm crossed around my waist.

"I love you," he breathed against my neck. I felt him nuzzle the skin lightly. Knowing what he wanted, I tilted my head to the side. Offering him my blood just as he needed and wanted me too. I felt him lick my neck and shivered slightly. His teeth sunk into my neck gently. Aido's words flashed into my head:

"I see. Your blood is Kaname-sama's possession…At some time, Kaname-sama's lips will gently touch the nape of your neck. His fangs slowly piercing. When you hear the sound of Kaname-sama drinking your blood, you'll definitely feel it."

A slight smile touched my face.

'It still slightly confuses me as to why his voice sounded really seductive when he was telling me that... Aido I wonder if you realize just how correct you were to assume such a thing…' I thought. Kaname removed his fangs from my neck and kissed the puncture wounds. His other arm came to join the one that was around my waist. The water rippled as I turned to face him. He tilted his head to the side as I had done mine. I kissed his neck before sinking my fangs into his neck as gently as he had done mine.

"Yuki, I was jealous to know that you were thinking of Aido," the jealously showed in his voce and in the taste of his blood, "while I was feeding from you…was last night not enough of a reminder that you belong to me?" He questioned as his hand tangled into my hair roughly as I fed. I pulled sharply on his neck. He hissed lightly. "I'm going to take that as a yes. But once I heard what you were thinking about…the very thing that I backhanded him for talking about in front of you…became true. You seemed so content to be with me," I pulled my fangs out of his neck and kissed his lips ending his sentence.

"Of course I am content to be with you, Kaname," I told him after pulling away. My hands were on his cheeks, "I love you and I'm right where I belong; what girl wouldn't be content to have all she ever wanted right here? In love with her, treating her right? It's every girls' dream come true. It may not be perfect but few relationships are," I kissed his lips lightly.

'Of course not every couple probably has that violent of sex either...' I added silently in my head. He laughed. The water was beginning to cool. I sighed and pulled away from him. An arm closed around my waist once more and I found myself being pulled back into his strong chest.

"And just were do you think you're going?" He questioned me. I looked back at him.

"Out," I looked back at him, "the water is starting to get cold. And there's nothing worse than a cold water bath," my nose wrinkled up, "it just completely defeats the purpose of getting in the tub in the first place. I got in to relax my muscles not freeze them to death." He laughed once more and released me from the hold. I smiled and stood from the water, climbed out of the tub, and then unplugged the drain. "Plus I don't wanna get all pruny and wrinkly."

"You're still thinking like a human I see," he commented as he stepped out of the tub after me and wrapped a towel around his waist. At his words, I couldn't help the thoughts that resurfaced:

'I know why I'm still holding onto the human side of me. Zero, Yori, and Kaien all loved the human side of me. While I'm sure that Yori and Kaien still love me. It seems that Zero still partially resents the fact that I became a vampire...Zero...' I fought off the urge to cry, 'Zero, you've really left me for good haven't you?'

I could still see Kaname's lips moving; I tilted my head to the side in confusion and decided that it was time to start paying attention, "look at you're hands," he commanded gently. I looked down as he asked.

"No wrinkles," I commented and looked back up at him. He nodded. "So we don't get wrinkly?" I could feel myself getting excited over this fact.

"We don't age much..." he informed. I smiled widely.

"Yay, I won't look like an old grandma!" I exclaimed, jumping up and down. Completely forgetting that I was naked for the moment until I noticed how Kaname's eyes darkened as he looked at me. "What?" I tilted my head to the side before feeling a breeze. "Oh!" I exclaimed again and snatched the pink towel from the counter then quickly wrapped it around me. Kaname backed me into the door and tore off my towel then let his towel fall. That one action made all thought of Zero leave my mind. He smiled devilishly before locking the bathroom door.

'Here we go again…' I thought before his lips cut off all train of thought as the touched mine.
