AN: I was totally going to update faster but with school and stuff it's hard. I mean I'm sitting here trying to think of things to type for the story and things really aren't popping up. I might just wing this chapter because I can. NOT! I have ideas for this chapter. :3

So we've landed. I stood at the door of the plane staring at it. I didn't want to get off. I didn't want to see his face. I didn't want to hear his voice. I didn't want to see the eyes that I fell in love with. So many thoughts were going through my head and that's when Emmett pushed me out of the plane and into the airport. I gave him a low hiss and started walking. Just my luck that Marcus would be waiting here for us when we arrived. I wasn't ready for this. There was no way I was ready for this. Nothing could have prepared me for this.

"Hey it'll be ok. Just trust that you'll survive this encounter with him. I know you will." Esme said.

I had told the family about what was going on and I didn't really feel like explaining the whole thing to my family. All I told them was that Marcus wanted to talk. The only person who knew the full story was Edward since he could read my mind. He gave me a nod telling me that things would be ok and that Alice said things would be ok between me and Marcus. I had a hard time believing that one but I had to trust him.

"Lia…." That honey smooth voice said and I had to fight not to break down.

"Marcus…" I replied keeping my voice low and my hair over my face to hide my pain.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and smiled a little. I knew Jasper would be trying to cheer me up later. The family walked ahead of me and Marcus. What did I say to him? It's been a while since we've seen each other and I didn't know what to say to him. Things were tense between me and him. I didn't know what to say to break it until he pulled me aside into an alley.

"Edward, keep them going to the castle. I need to talk to her alone. Like really alone where you guys aren't and my brothers can't hear. Thank you." Marcus requested.

I knew Edward wouldn't refuse a lord and kept the family moving like he was asked to. Well this was just fantastic. I was stuck alone with my ex and my family was nowhere in sight. Could this day get any worse than what it already was?

"Look Lia… I know I hurt you… I really didn't mean to. I love you and I want you back. Please… Come back to me my princess. I will do anything to get you back and I promise I won't screw it up this time. I lost you once and I am not willing to lose you again. Caius keeps talking about how this pretty girl with long black hair and golden eyes keeps coming to him in his dreams and telling him how much she can't wait to be in his arms. And then I realized that he was talking about you and it stung. I don't want you to end up with him. You're mine Lia. I know what happened a while back was horrible. I know that I fucked up big time but Lia please… She was going to hurt you if I hadn't done what I did. I promise that that's the truth. Please come back to me. Give me another chance. I swear I will do anything for you, even if it means cross dressing. Please…" Marcus explained to me.

I could hear the sincerity in his voice, the pain that was flowing through him. I felt the same pain. The words he said to me, that he would do anything, made the wound that was so deep I never thought it would heal, close just a little bit. I looked down and closed my eyes. Did I give him another chance? It's not a lie that Irina really did mean me harm if he hadn't done what he did. But why hadn't he told me? Was it because if he told me that Irina would still come after me? The possibilities were endless as to why he didn't tell me when he got the first chance to. I looked up at him for the first time into those loving golden eyes.

"Ok Marcus… I'll give you another chance. But I swear if you hurt me again I will not give you another chance no matter how much you beg for me and no matter what you'll do. I will not go through this a second time." I said quietly the threat not coming off lightly.

Things were quiet for a minute before I felt his arms wrap around me tightly and draw me close to his body. For the first time in a very long time, I felt happy. I felt warm and secure and it was all because of this one man. But what would the future hold for us? Would we end up staying together for the rest of our lives or would we end up falling apart again because of some stupid bitch or because he simply didn't love me anymore? There were so many things that could happen that could ruin our relationship. I hoped that day would never come.

"Thank you Lia… Thank you so much…" He whispered and hugged me even tighter.

I couldn't help but hug him just as tightly. He brought out the good part of me and I really did miss being happy. What was it about this one man that made me so happy that I took him back despite what had happened? I knew that I shouldn't have taken him back but I couldn't help it. I wanted him back deep down in my heart and I was really glad to have him back in my life and in my arms.

"I will never hurt you again. I promise. I swear on my life that you'll always be the first person on my mind that if something like this ever happens again, I will protect you with my life instead of hurting you like I did. I don't know how else to tell you that I will never hurt you like that again. I basically said it all with that one sentence. You are my world, my light, my life." Marcus whispered into my ear and caused me to shiver.

There was always that tone in his voice that caused me to shiver whenever he would speak in my ear like that. Yeah he's talked to me so many times and kissed me but for some reason things seemed more sensitive now that he was back in my life. I seemed more prone to melt into his arms as he spoke to me. What was going on with me? I knew I loved him but I had I forgotten how much until now? Marcus pressed a light kiss to my cheek slowly moving to my neck. I gasped when he reached my neck and licked lightly. I pushed him away gently and looked up into his pouting eyes.

"N-not here." I stammered.

Things had definitely gotten better. But would I be able to convince him to move our little heated reunion to another spot? There was only one way to find out and that was to try right? Right.

(Let me know in the reviews if you want Lia with Marcus or Caius. X3 I'm excited to see what you guys say. Sorry it's a little short. I'm tired and don't know what else to write at the moment. I'll make the next chapter longer. PROMISE!)
