Sydney (Devilish Smile)

We slept for the rest of the trip. We took up three seats, he had his legs out and leaning against the window and my head was on his chest. But his emotions were too strong for me to get much more sleep. I kept getting pulled into his dream, and not the way spirit users can do it was because of the bond. I felt like I shouldn't be seeing any of this but as much as I fought it it pulled me in more. It was a losing battle and after an hour of trying to fight it I gave up on fighting it.

"Sydney," Adrian said, he was dressed in a tux, which surprised me. He felt overwhelmed by what he was about to do. I wasn't sure but I knew it was going to surprise me as much as it's going to surprise the dreaming Sydney.

I looked at him with big eyes and bewilderment. "Yes, Adrian?" I had a coffee cup in my hand and was worried that I was going to drop it so I hung on tightly.

"Sydney Sage, I know we've been through hell and back…" He paused for a moment to think of what to say next. He finally decided and continued, "We've fought off Alchemist for two years now. We've bought our first house six months ago. We've made great progress with the bond. But through all of that, we've grown closer together." Fear flooded through me. No Adrian just wake up don't ask me this in a dream that I'm seeing. I wished with all my heart that i could just escape this. I knew Adrian didn't want me here just as much as I didn't want to be here.

"Sydney Sage, I love you with all my heart and I will stay with you forever and never leave. I promise to protect you for the rest of our lives'. So, Sydney Sage will you marry…"

Adrian woke up from a dream state. He was still asleep just no longer dreaming. It took me a little while to fall asleep but once I did, I entered a dream that was too real to be a dream. And I knew right away that Adrian had woken up completely and had been waiting for me to fall asleep again.

We were in a garden, it was full of rose bushes and wild flowers. Adrian yet again stood in a tux, and fear flood through me once again and I looked down to see what I was wearing. It wasn't a white dress but that didn't seem to ease my fears at all it seemed to make them worse.

"Adrian what are you doing?" I asked him not even trying to hide my fear. A devilish smile slowly emerged on his lips. Oh, I wanted to kiss him so badly, but I was still afraid of what would happen if I did. Things with us had changed fast in these last 17 hours. I knew that Adrian was finally sure that he was falling in love with me. Something crept into me a feeling, it wasn't my feeling, no it mirrored my feeling, it was love. Pure love, love that was undying and even though happened fast, really took a long time to form. I wasn't falling in love with him I had been in love with him for a long time now and so had he.

"I'm trying to pass the time in a more fun way," He winked at me with a devilish smile. I couldn't help it I blushed. I'd been doing so good at controlling myself then with just a smile that all went away. I didn't know what was going on with me. Why was me realizing I'd been in love with Adrian for a long time having an effect on my self control? This wasn't something you could learn from a book. No book could prepare you for the ultimate feeling of feeling like your heart doesn't belong to you any longer, but to the person you love and that you no longer can have control of the effect that that person can have on you. No book in this world that I know of could prepare you for that.

I just stared at Adrian I didn't know what else to do. My mind was racing with all of this. I was so confused. I was for the first time in my life completely speechless. I was at a loss of words, there was no word that could even explain this feeling. Not even love could explain this feeling. I was so worried about what this meant. I just wanted my mind to freeze and stop over thinking everything. I wanted my mind to just stop thinking for enough time for Adrian to do something.

Adrian stood there just waiting for me to say something, but I don't know if I would ever say another thing again. From the way things were going it didn't look like I ever would. This just was too crazy, it needed to stop.

"Adrian, I mean it what are you doing?" I finally said and his devilish smile disappeared, which I wish hadn't. There was something about that devilish smile that made my heart race with excitement.

It didn't take him long to think of a reply, "Sydney, we both know what's going on here." He said as he made his way over to me. "We both know how we feel and you know how both of us feel I can see it in your face." He was almost right in front of me. I wished with everything he would just stop but on the other hand my heart wanted him to continue. "I know you no longer feel the same way about the Alchemist, I know you love me, I know you love me." Oh god I thought as he continued. "With that I if you say yes and even if you say no, I promise to protect you with my life and everything that I can." He was just inches in front of me, he got down on one knee and fear and excitement flooded through me. "Sydney Sage will you marry me?"

I looked at him, he had on his devilish smile yet again, I swear he was trying to make me say yes. I wanted to say yes but the other part of me wanted to say no. I didn't know what to do. My heart screamed yes but a small part of my brain was screaming no. This was the hardest question I think I've ever had to answer. I was still looking at Adrian as his devilish smile slipped into a worried and panicked frown. I knew I needed to come up with an answer soon.

"Adrian," I said, and then I noticed his green eyes, most royals had green eyes. "My answer is, yes." He got up and gave me a hug and twirled me around. I'd never seen him this happy ever. I wished he'd just kiss me already.

He set me back down on my feet resting his hands on my waist. "Before we meet Abe, we'll go find a ring." He told me and bent down and gave me the most amazing kiss he'd ever given me before. I had no idea life could've gotten better than that.

He pulled away and looked at me, "Sydney, you never seem to stop surprising me." He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me with an urgency I'd never seen before. I responded with the same urgency my hands found their way up his shirt only after taking of his coat and throwing it. He took off my shirt and then kissed my neck. I felt his fangs on my neck and I froze for only a moment before I pulled Adrian closser. He responded to that with a playful bite that didn't break my skin.

I couldn't help it, I moaned. He kissed my lips and I slowly started to unbutton his shirt. Once I'd finished that he let it just slip off and picked me up and took me to the bed that I hadn't notice had been there. I was also pretty sure it hadn't been just ten minutes ago.

He kissed me again once we were laying down on the bed. This time is was raughly and with such an urgency that he slipped, he bite my lip by accident. I moaned loudly as he pulled away quickly. I looked at him.

"I'm sorry Sydney I shouldn't have…."

"Adrian It's a dream." and with that I awoke to the sound of people all around us getting ready to get off the plane. I looked at Adrian who kissed me softly.

"I love you Sydney Sage."

"I love you too Adrian Ivashkov."
