Hello again mates! Srry its been like two days or something, I had some preparations for stuff. Summer school just started and I'm on that lucky list yippee (that was sarcasm, very heavy sarcasm) well I thought I would just give you something to talk about at your next family reunion haha JK, well onward and hope you like!

Jagger and I made it home right as the sun was rising. We spent a good deal of time with his family. They are so sweet even his little brother, even though he's kind of creepy. When dinner was called to service we went outside where it was being served. It was beautiful, the moon shone down on us so strong and violins played loudly. I found myself humming along with the mourning tune. We sat around and I was fully introduced to his family. It turned out that Jagger, Luna and Valentine had many cousins and aunts and uncles. They all wanted to meet the new bride. It was a bit overwhelming to say the least but I enjoy myself. We had medium rare steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. I almost felt at home but felt weird about it. I was aching to be back at that spacious castle, and run its halls, decorating putting my own touch to the barren place. Luna sat on one side of me while Jagger occupied the other. The table was about two miles long and occasionally beautiful white haired family members tapped my shoulder and kissed my cheeks introducing themselves. The accents that flew made me dizzy as well as the strong scent of some perfume. Jagger seemed to sense whatever I was feeling for he said something in Romanian and just like that the crowd disappeared from behind me. After dinner we had dessert, a chocolate covered dish that had been baked and sprayed with whipped cream and topped with cherries and a red dip. I asked Jagger what it was for and he said simply

"It's for after dessert, to wash down the human food. It's very good, Dante mixes it with something I don't know mom told me never to ask." he shrugged which made me smile. When the table was cleared his father and mother toasted us, wishing us a long and fruitful marriage, to love and cherish each other for eternity, giving each other life. I could only let the tears fall, I was so happy to actually belong, to just be accepted. By vampires of all people, I loved it. When it was time to leave I was hugged and kissed and bustled around. Luna asked if she could come with us and she and Jagger had a stare down until I broke it

"Okay, okay fine Luna you can come home with us." Luna turned to me and wrinkled her nose

"Oh we're not going back home, I want you to meet Romania, we can go shopping and go clubbing. All the things you couldn't do in the dull town of yours, you can do here."

"There will be plenty of time for that Luna you know that, you can have free rein of Raven tomorrow night" Jagger told his twin much to her disappointment. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder

"Oh don't be sad sis, we can go shopping and clubbing all night tomorrow, promise. but for tonight I'd like to spend it with Jagger." both vampires were surprised at my declaration I could tell for Jagger cleared his throat and said

"Are you sure,"

"Of course Jagger, I would like to get to know you, and you could tell me all about these vampire powers." Luna bounced up and down her snow white hair flying all around her face. She was so cute. Before we left Mrs. Maxwell called me back.

"Raven dear I would like to have a word with you if that's all right."Jagger started to speak no doubt to tell his mother there was no time but I stepped forward

"It's okay, I'll be right there" I slowly walked over to Mrs. Maxwell still in awe at her beauty. She took my hand

"Thank you Raven for letting me steal you away for a moment I just needed to say a few things. Come please." She led me through the hall, the wooden floors creaking and squeaking pleasantly beneath our feet. I was led into a beautifully large room. Black silk curtains hid the windows and vintage furniture of different colours and black rugs and carpeting. Candelabras and lace dripped from the walls. It was so morbidly dark and wonderful. We sat down on the soft couches and she smiled at me. Mrs. Maxwell took a deep breath

"Raven I have concerns." My heart dropped

"About what?" Her smile turned sad

"About you and Jagger, I don't know if you know but he has a drawing personality." I let out my breath

"Oh yes I know Mrs. Maxwell" she allowed a tinkling laugh

"Jagger is impulsive, he has a temper and I just want to warn you to be careful and if you can patient with my son. He will try though, he keeps his word no matter what Raven." I thought back to what Jagger had said to me, that he loved me and that he would try. I did believe him. After we talked a bit Mrs. Maxwell walked me back to the door where Jagger was waiting, tapping his Doc Martens against the wall. When he saw me his face lit up.

"Ready?" I nodded and took his hand. Luna opened her mouth to speak but stopped. I looked at her

"What's the matter?" she shook her head

"Oh nothing, you two go have fun I'll see you guys later, I wanna meet a boy..."

"Luna don't get in trouble." Luna turned to her mother and smiled a small pink smile

"Of course mother" And with that Luna left. Jagger kissed his mother on the cheek and Mrs. Maxwell gave me kisses as well

"Be good you two, occasionally check up on Luna." Jagger bowed

"Of course mother"

So here we are walking the streets of Romania hand and hand. There weren't many people on the street but the moonlight was strong yet so, so fascinating. Jagger watched people with slight interest, his white locks falling into his mismatched eyes, our boots touched occasionally and when they did I giggled. I was beginning to like Jagger. We turned the street onto a truly deserted on and he stopped

"What is it" he turned to me and let go of my hand. I wanted to complain I loved the feeling of his hand in mine.

"You wanted to learn about those vampire powers right?" Immediately I was eager. I'd always wanted to turn into a bat and blend in with the darkness. I smiled up at him bouncing on my toes. "Sterling never taught you anything; he never even thought to tell you anything. Yet another reason to believe he was never going to turn you" I almost winced but forced myself not to lose train of the conversation. "but I will, the first is the bat thing of course but there's more, you can control the minds of humans, get them to do what you want and make them forget that you fed on them, and make them dizzy, we move like lightning, so fast we don't need to turn into bats. And," Jagger grabbed my wrist suddenly and twisted me around. It was so fast, and I gasped. Then he was breathing on my neck his arm around my waist my back pressed to his lean chest. His right leg wrapped around my right leg and his lips pressed to my neck. I grew warm again and started breathing heavy. "We are so strong" I nodded

"I can feel that" he chuckled and let me go He led me around a very tall building that looked as if it were around back in the 1800's.

"It's high isn't It." when I nodded he said casually "lets go" I looked at him with confusion

"Go where?" he pointed a finger at the top of the building.

"Up at the top of the building." I shook my head

"Oh no I can't do that Jagger no way." but he pushed me toward the building

"Don't worry, just feel the power, you can jump or you can fly. it's easy Luna thought it would be hard too but as soon as she got the hang of it, she couldn't go anywhere without flying." then his voice was softer "I'll be right here don't worry" I took a breath and took a step back. I could do this. Jagger stepped back as well and flexed his muscles. His smile lit up his face as I took another step then vaulted forward and up. I felt my body surging up the blood inside of me boiling and bubbling upward toward the top of the building. I found myself flying past windows and soon I could see the clouds I was still soaring up. I couldn't stop, not that I wanted to it was so fun I was seeing things through new eyes, the eyes of a bat, my fangs were out and I could touch them with my little pink tongue. It was such a rush feeling the wind rustling through my body. I was so happy. Then Jagger's' silky voice was in my mind

"Come here Raven, I need you here beside me." I turned around and soared back down back to Jagger. He was standing on top the building waiting. I transformed and became myself again. I ran to him and clutched his hands

"That was so wonderful. I've never felt this way before, never! I can't believe it." Jagger nodded

"Yeah, babe it's terrific, you'll get over it. But for now let's enjoy it." Jagger took my hand and led me to the center of the rooftop. He taught me all the things I've never even heard of, I forgot about everything else. Jagger was so sweet; he took care he let me try and caught me when I stumbled. He was gentle with me. After we practiced some he taught me how to just fall of the building casually and land on my toes. It was so fun I wanted to do it again and again, or maybe I just liked to have Jagger hold me back each time I tried to escape. Goth he was so warm! After that he took me to the cemetery. Dullsville didn't have the luxury of having this many dead people, even though most of those people died from boredom. The graves were cracked and crumbling, flowers already dead and the gate a forlorn thing. The grass was unkempt and black while the monuments towered over us. An aging willow trees crumbling branches still seemed to feel comfortable. Jagger held my hand as we made our way over hills to the restricted section of the cemetery (I had a laugh at that). We came across a crypt where Jagger sat down and offered me his lap. I took it. He leaned back and held me against him. We watched the moon

"This is romantic" I said to break the silence. He grunted

"Yeah I guess." I turned to look at him. His hair still hung in his eyes, I brushed it away

"You don't do this often do you?" he laughed

"No, other girls didn't really like the silence, we groped." I tapped his nose

"Well, as your mate, I will tell you this will not be a groping session, hear me boy." he lifted his chin and narrowed his eyes challengingly

"Oh really?" I jumped up quickly because I could sense from somewhere inside of him that he was going to pounce, and backed up. "Are you going to put a stop to my player days."

"They'd better be over mister" I teased back while slowly moving backward. Jagger stepped in the same instant I did, making it a dance. HIs cunning blue and green eyes flashed with pleasure and his movements became quicker. I showed my teeth, playfully. Jagger looked surprised but slipped into a crouch nonetheless. My eyes widened with a sudden fear "Jagger are you going to do what I think you're about to do."

"Oh yeah" I backed up again as he stalked forward, like I was his prey. I thought maybe I could take him, let him leap at me and still be standing, but then again he was stronger and he was born into this. He knew far more than I did, and frankly, well that hungry look upon his face was starting to freak me out. I hit a grave and stumbled around it. Jagger's' eyes flashed to me but when I regained my footing he was back to that hungry look.

"Jagger Maxwell I am warning you don't you dare." and just like that Jagger flew at me. I screamed, couldn't help it he looked like an animal, a great sexy strong animal yes but still scary, we tumbled across the dirt, I felt his body connect with the hard ground but heard him chuckle. it rumbled in the back of his throat and I felt it in his stomach as my hands broke my fall by slamming into his chest. He moved and suddenly I was underneath him. And I finally just looked at him. Jagger was smirking triumphantly, it was adorable

"That was fun." he whispered. Then he kissed my forehead and rolled off of me. My heart fluttered back down in its own cavity, I thought he wanted to kiss me. I sighed and sat up as well pushing my long black hair out of my face. dirt fell from it and dropped all around me. I giggled in spite of myself, Jagger, dusting his pants off looked down at me

"What's so funny" I got up and dusted off my skirt. Shaking my head I made my way to him

"Oh nothing, I think for a first date this was pretty romantic." he seemed puzzled

"First date? Is that what this was?" I nodded. Jagger pondered this then nodded slowly "I did well then. I liked it too."' he smiled at me and wrapped his arm around me. "Do you want to go home? Because I wasn't finished you have no curfew we can hang some more, I'll show you another side...of the cemetery you've never seen before." I rolled my eyes

"Duh I just got here." and I took off, leaving Jagger standing there. We explored the other side of the cemetery and found a few crows fluttering by an old oak. Jagger told me that the oak was dangerous to him because that was a horrible stake. If hunters were to carve oak and stake a born vampire with it, they would die slowly. For turned vampires it would turn them to dust. I made sure to never sit to close to that tree. We climbed the second hill and watched the grave diggers dig fresh graves. Jagger sighed at that with an almost longing look on his face, for some reason he couldn't wait for a couple to pass, Idk. He turned into a bat and gave them quite a fright, I have to admit it was funny, I clutched my sides when one of the grave diggers fainted from fright and another looked as if he were about to pee his pants. Then as I came down to join him Jagger pulled me over to the mausoleum and presented me with a brilliant idea and a very huge ring

"I wanted to give you something that tells you I do love you, I will always love you and I hope maybe some day you'll be able to say the same." He had looked down as he spoke his words and played with the rings on his fingers. I pushed his chin up, a great smile on my face.

"That is the sweetest thing I think you could ever say to anyone Jagger." he tilted his head

"I'll take that" then he explained his big idea. "you know how I owned the coffin club, in America?" when I nodded he continued "it has occurred to me that I have only owned a human club with a vampire club hiding in secret beneath it, well with the help of my bond mate and future Mrs. Maxwell I believe that we can create an all vampire club, never hiding under the ruse of a human one." I was absolutely ecstatic about that

"That would be stellar Jagger, but where would it be" Jagger looked around then leaned into me and whispered in an obvious voice

"I was thinking here Raven." he leaned away from my swipe and folded his arms across his chest "what say you baby" I looked around the dark and dank place. With a lot of preparations and work this place could be the ultimate vampire hang out. I walked over to the sepulcher that fused to the ground.

"Does this open?" he nodded "help me move it" Jagger raised a brow but consented. When the top was off I peeked in, my new eyesight allowed me to see just what it looked like down there. It was huge, skeleton fingers hung from the ceiling along with cobwebs and rags. And of course skeletons, Jagger blew out a great breath

"They can stay for decoration don't you think?"

"That's disrespectful." I chided

"We'll be partying in their resting place Raven, I think we have skipped the disrespectful face and went straight to 'what would your mother think' right?" I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. He had a sense of humor worthy of praise. I stood straight and rubbed his arm.

"Alright, then I want to do this. It'll be fun I'll even get Luna to help she'll love it." Jagger rolled his eyes at the mention of his twin before he went kind of still. I assumed he had just remembered to check up on her and see if she still had her virginity. From the look on Jagger's' face I assumed she still did. After Jagger replaced the secret tombs lid we left. he made a call where he spoke in his native tongue for awhile, his accent was deeply hot, to bad Alexander hadn't had one, it'd made me fall harder for him, the way I was for Jagger, (can't believe I just thought that. good thing he can't hear my thoughts). Jagger and I spent a little while more out before he checked his watch. The sun would be rising soon. I had no idea we had stayed out that late. We had left the hearse at the castle and his parent's butler had driven us to the family home so we flew back to our castle, again I love the sensation of being able to fly as a bat. As we were nearing the castle a light rain started, and as we turned the last corner it started to pour. we flew over the gate and up the long driveway before transforming back to our mortal bodies. I was drenched and shaking from the cold. Jagger took out the key and unlocked the door. as soon as I stepped inside I stomped and shook trying to get my body to warm up. Jagger wasn't even shaking, I love the rain don't get me wrong but, damn this Romanian rain seemed worse than dullsville rain. Jagger shook his long white hair out of his face and pushed it behind his ears

"Cold as ice huh?" he asked as he made his way past me. I glared at him, looking just like a drowned black cat. "Come on then" he muttered and I gratefully followed him around the corner and up the stone stairs. I felt them through my boots, holy hell! Jagger led me to our bedroom; his coffin had been placed in its own little corner. I went to the closet and opened it. I started looking for stuff

"Jagger!" I called

"Yeah!" he yelled back, I could hear him turning on the water and waiting for it to warm up

"Where are the towels and such?" he laughed

"We keep them in the other closet, and your jammies are in the drawers."

"Jammies?" I asked but walked out and searched for this other closet.

"Well what do you call them; mine are called sweats, and or boxers." I rolled my eyes and opened the linens. I was hit with black and crimson, and Nightmare. I petted her head before selecting a big fluffy black towel, and a matching wash cloth. After grabbing my bad of bathroom necessities I walked into the bathroom to find Jagger standing there. He was searching through the medicine cabinet, his reflection was something alright. His guy liner was smeared and ran down under his eyes, giving him that misunderstood rock star look. When he found what he was looking for he shut the cabinet and looked back at me. I stared back still clutching my toiletries. We had a little stare down; Jagger even got comfortable and crossed his arms. I didn't move only stared back trying to tell him with my eyes to get out. He sighed and leaned against the double sink, his lean narrow hips coming up to the edge of the sink. I finally talked

"Get out please." Jagger didn't move for a while then he walked over to the shower, pulled the glass door open and felt the water. "Jagger what are you doing?"

"I won't to try something, it will be faster, I promise to look and not touch" he smiled and then pulled his shirt off. Holy hell! For a skinny guy Jagger had some really nice abs. He started to undo his pants. I looked away and focused on my reflection. My hair was still dripping and my clothes were all muddy. I dropped my things on the built in stone bench. And started to undress.

"Where do I put these?" I asked the mirror

"I'm afraid I don't do well unless I am face to face with my partner in conversation." I mentally groaned and let him hear me growl. He chuckled, victory in that laugh. I continued to get undressed. When I was fully naked I walked toward the still open shower and stepped in. Jagger whistled and I felt warm. He closed the door and I stepped under the jet of water. It felt so good, to be warm and feel my skin. I felt Jagger standing behind me and closed my eyes. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I couldn't help but shiver at the closeness we had. His spidery fingers climbed stomach slowly; stroking my belly button I sighed and let my head drop back on his shoulder. His hands caressed my chest. He let his lips trail down my neck, water dripping off as well. Jagger opened his mouth "can I bite you?" he whispered My eyes were still closed. His hand trailed lower as his lips kept playing with my neck, his teeth nibbling and his mouth sucking. I trembled oh Goddess I trembled so hard. His tongue tasted my flesh "please" he toyed with my inner thigh; his fangs were getting to me just as well as his fingers. "Raven,"

"Yyes?" I managed, as he continued his torture. He was so close to my pleasure, why wasn't he going for it? He took his other hand and cupped my breast. I was dying for him to pleasure me, to make me moan and scream. Thoughts I had never had swam into my mind and I would have sank to the floor if Jagger hadn't been holding me up. His fingers crept closer and closer and closer, he was making me wetter and wetter with each inch, I was spiraling up with anticipation, I tried to force him to stop his teasing but he just nipped at my throat. I yelped and whimpered with need. "Jagger please" I pleaded, He chuckled low and throaty. I couldn't figure out how he was doing this, I could feel his excitement and how it was killing him, but he liked to play. I spread my legs wider and panted. "You are the devil" I barely got out, for I was itching for him, wanting him now to satisfy my needs. His fingers toyed me, he was much closer. My blood boiled and Jagger moaned softly

"I just want a little" he said, and my shaking increased, the hot water sprayed across our skin and the steam seemed to keep our flames going, roaring upward

"Oh Jagger, yes! Please bite me, I need you" I cried out when his fangs slipped into my neck and his fingers were thrusted inside of me. I grabbed for something,, some kind of support as my bond mate sucked my blood. His fangs and fingers were neck and neck, believe me. If I ever thought being fingered was a big deal, oh goddess getting my blood drawn by this beautiful creature had me on fire. My body was being torn in two, wanting to surge up but also wanting to rock with him. His other hand squeezed my breast and I felt blood seeping down my neck. My eyes closed in ecstasy and I arched my neck for him, HIs fangs felt so good, as did his lean fingers. I started to grind against him. Jagger started to pleasure me harder, faster. My eyes opened quickly then I was panting, I wanted more, I needed him. He was mine, all mine. I clenched around him and cried out as I climaxed. Jagger moaned into my neck and pulled away, panting my name. He turned me around and held me against him the water drenching me now that we were face to face. I gasped and threw my head back and let the hot water blur my eyes. We held each other tight and when I looked at him again, he still had blood on his lips, my blood. I tasted it. It was salty but still warm. I pushed his hair out of his eyes and caressed his mouth and kissed him. He was shocked I can tell you that. But this was the perfect moment, he had given me everything I'd always wanted, and of course what I needed; love and care, I needed for someone not to lie to me, to always be there and never leave, no matter what. I wasn't sure if I loved him back, but I know I cared for Jagger with all my heart, and nothing was going to take him away from me, not now not ever.

How do you like that? I so was not planning a shower scene that's just how it came out guys I swear to you. Well tell me what you think and hopefully I will put the next chapter up soon. Love you much
