While your lips are still red
By: BG
Chapter 10

Drown into eyes while they're still blind.
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn.

We came back to the castle that night, me still safe in the arms of Daihmin, my vampire king and husband…But it looked different. No longer were there warm autumn colors surrounding me, but the dark colors of the vampire: Purple, black, and silver.
"Has the enchantment worn off?" I asked as Daihmin lay on the bed.
"No my love…you're seeing the way you want to see it now and that is the way I see it, which is how it truly is".
"It's beautiful…dark, but beautiful".
"I'm glad you think so".

I looked at him again and almost felt myself melt. He was so….handsome. So beautiful to me. I gazed upon his shirtless form, marveling at his beautifully sculpted body. Pale as moonlight…he was perfect. His arms were strongly built and perfect for holding. I found myself longing to be in those arms of his. I lay down next to him and caressed his face. I kissed his cheek.
"I love you" I said.
"I love you more" he replied, "But my dear…we have much still to do before we may consider each other man and wife".
I liked in that moment he used Man and Wife, not King and Queen. That's what he was to me in that moment. He was a man, my man, and I had no intention of leaving again. I knew what he meant by unfinished business. But I had to ask.
"Do you mean the Bite?"
"That among other things, but as I have said, I will not bite you unless you want me to".
"Love….I'm ready to do whatever it takes to be yours forever" I kissed him passionately for a moment, "Claim your bride, my love".
"Are you sure? Once you choose me, there is no going back".
"I would want nothing more or less".
"Then let me work my magic, love".
"But on one condition…I want to see your real hair and eye color afterwards or during".
"As you wish, my love" he smiled agreeing.

He kissed me again, hot and passionate. He was still beautiful, this was beautiful. While he distracted me with the kiss, his hands fumbled with the thick ribbon that tied my robe. When it was loose enough for his hands, he caressed whatever bare skin he could find: On my stomach, my chest…I practically shivered when he touched my breasts gently.
"Was that a shiver of pleasure or fear?" he asked me, pulling away slightly.
"Pleasure, my love" I answered, smiling.
"Then I shall continue".
And continue he did. He began to kiss down my neck, careful not to bite me as I wasn't ready for that just yet. He licked in some places, his tongue shockingly warm against my pulse. He went down kissing my collarbone and inner parts of my shoulders. All the while, he was pulling my robe down gently. I sighed in pleasure as my upper body was freed of the confining clothing, and happy to give my lover more access to me.

(Daihmin's POV)

How long had I waited for this? So many centuries of pining, waiting, it was all paid off at that moment. I kissed down the valley between her breasts and then looked back up at her, smiling. She was so beautiful. Her whole body was pale as fresh snow, it was lovely. I breathed huskily, trying to contain the lust and love I had deep inside. I licked back up her chest again and kissed one of the beautiful mounds. I found the nipple and suckled, just as I had always dreamed of doing. My hand was hard at work, giving the other breast attention. All the while, Caitlin was moaning beneath me.
After a few moments, I moved away to the other, suckling again just as gently as before, but Caitlin moaned and arched her back to me, her pelvis against mine. Oh gods….that was when I could feel my pants get tighter and my manhood harder….I didn't want to frighten her, so I held her down while I pleasured her, but the fire inside me wouldn't die so quickly. With each moan, I only wanted to thrust within her. Patience….I had to let her enjoy it first.

(End of Daihmin's POV)

"Mmmm…Daihmin…." I gasped and moaned and arched for him. A part of me not only wanted him, but felt as if I needed him. I needed us to be one; I wanted to know more of this pleasure.
At long last he gave my breast a parting kiss and moved downward toward my stomach, where he kissed, licked, and nipped at my sides affectionately. I could only moan and arch my back for him. But each time I did that, he only held me down harder. He licked my belly button as if it was a little treat for him.
He then saw that the rest of my robe hadn't been taken off, denying him access to the part of me that ached for him. Daihmin growled roughly and slid it off me, putting it to the floor. Daihmin kissed the inner part of my thighs, teasing me, as humans would put it. Yes, I knew plenty about intercourse. Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I don't know about this kind of thing.
Even though I knew about it, I was still shy about it. I blushed and my whole body felt warm.
"Are you alright, love?" Daihmin asked, kissing my thighs again.
"Just….I don't feel so beautiful, Daihmin".
"You are beautiful, Caitlin. The most beautiful lover I've ever had….the only lover that I ever plan to have ever again".
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Are you ready, love? I think you'll like this".
"Ravish me, Daihmin" I practically begged.
At my words, Daihmin licked the folds of my womanhood. My eyes went wide and I gasped in surprise. I almost squirmed as his masterful tongue made its way inside me. He licked gently, suckling also….oh it was so wonderful.
"Caitlin….are you alright?" he asked me.
"Very much" I smiled.
"Shall I please my goddess more?"

(Daihmin's POV)

I sought nothing but her pleasure that night. I wanted her, but I had to be patient. I wanted her to feel ready for when the marriage would completely consummated, no matter how much the animal inside me raged for contact.
I heard her moan in pleasure and I knew I succeeded. I felt her touch on my back and shoulders and I reveled in it. She was so gentle, so kind, so beautiful….what more could I do? Here I was, with an angelic elf in my bed all at my disposal. I wanted to cherish her body, worship it, and try not to cause any pain. Finally, when we both calmed down a little more, it was time.
I kissed her cheek. "Love…are you ready for me?" I asked.
She nodded lightly. "I've been ready for some time, my dearest".
With that said, I removed the rest of my clothing and got on top of her, uncertainty still in my heart. I had to make sure she was absolutely ready for me. Once she chose me, she couldn't go back to anyone.
"Are you certain?"
Caitlin nodded and caressed my chest. "I'm positive, my love".
"Then your wish is my command, Caitlin. But be warned, this will hurt a little. I need you to remain relaxed and try to ignore the pain. It'll fade and soon, all pleasure will be yours, my angel".
She nodded in understanding and completely relaxed herself. It was time….

(End of Daihmin's POV)

It wasn't long before I felt him within me. He was a little cold, but nothing I could handle. I was completely relaxed, my mind focused on the pleasure he could give. He went in just a little deeper and then found my virtue waiting for him to be pierced. I gasped as he moved forward into it. It was painful…very much so. I gasped and hissed and he pulled out.
"My love, are you sure of this?" he asked me, fully out of me, and then I felt like a part of me was gone.
"Yes, Daihmin. I do apologize, it's just….I've never done this before and-"
"Shhh….hush my darling…Just focus on me. Try to ignore the pain, and soon it will be over before you know it and then you will know all the pleasures I can give you".
I nodded again in understanding. "I'll try".

Daihmin smiled and inched into me again. I kept my eyes locked on him when a thought came to me. He continued toward my virtue again, I reached up and touched his hair and at my touch, it changed color. I kept my eyes on his hair as he got closer and closer; I barely realized the pain with his hair color distracting me.
It was pure white…a snowy, beautiful pure white, like my skin. But it sparkled, like diamonds in the little light in the room. I was surprised, I hadn't seen that coming. Then I looked in his eyes as they too changed color. They were a sharp, beautiful gold color, like snowy owls. I gasped suddenly, realizing that my virtue had been pierced and he was now fully within me, and I couldn't hold back the small tears of pain.

"Have I hurt you, love?" he asked, concerned about me.
"Just a little…" I wiped my eyes with my arm, "But now it's almost nonexistent".
"And now you know the truth…you've seen my hair and eye color. Are you ready?"
I closed my eyes expectantly. "Yes".
"Very well".

Daihmin began to thrust in and out of me, slowly and painfully out, but swiftly and fulfilling in. I gasped at the sensation of it all. It wasn't long before the pain I felt previously turned into pleasure that I had never felt before. I found myself moaning and our hips rocking together as one. It was perfect….
I moaned over and over again, the fire from my dream becoming a fierce, imposing reality. I longed for him at last, wanted more and our speed quickened. The room was soon filled with our moans, gasps, and grunts of pleasure. Tonight, it was okay to be animalistic, and it felt nice. Then finally, I felt the fire inside of me rage even more as wave upon wave of pleasure struck me.
"Scream my name, love…only mine" Daihmin demanded through his own moans of pleasure.
I couldn't resist or ignore. "Daihmin!".
I barely recognized my own voice. Soon after my scream, he did the same for me, screaming my name, and then I felt his essence enter into me, filling me…completing me.

Exhausted at last, Daihmin pulled out of me and rolled to my left side, smiling through the exhaustion. I smiled back and gripped his hand under the blanket. I leaned over a little and kissed the skin that guarded his heart.
"I love you" I said.
"I love you more" he replied, kissing my head as he let me snuggle up to him.
I fell asleep like that, nice, warm, and safe in my vampire husband's arms. Nothing could take me away from him now. Not even Death itself.

Finally! I am done with this chapter! Gosh, you guys better like this! I can't tell you how many times I had to work up the courage to continue it 'cause if my parents ever saw this, they'd kill me. So like I said before this was my first shot at a lemon, so I hope you liked it. I made it more romantic than I did lusty because I'm not big about sex and stuff…I'm 18 years old, but I'm not big about it. I really don't see it as important to a relationship, but I know I had to do this at some point for Caitlin and Daihmin. So that's why it sucked so bad (lol). But I hope you liked it. Only….I think three chapters left to go and then I can start on the sequel! Hurray!
