She opened her eyes and she was still in his arms "A-alex?"
He held her close stroking her hair, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
She kissed him gently and slow, " It wasn't you, it was old memories. I remembered..." She blushes deep scarlet.
He smiled, "It wasn't me?"
She shook her head, "No, it wasn't you." She put a cold hand lightly on his cheek. "I'm fine, I promise." He grabbed her hand and held it on his cheek affectionately. "Will you read me some more?" She asked nervously.
He looked into her eyes concerned. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" Instead of answering she just kissed him hard on the mouth. He hugged her close grabbing the book from the bedside table and she cuddled up with her head on his chest. "What is it you remembered?" She pointed to the passage describing their first experience in bed when her toes went numb from pleasure. He blushed bright red then turned the page and read:
The next morning I was so curious I must have asked him a dozen questions. I just had to know everything about him and I couldn't keep my hands off of him. I was horrible! I gave him a hickey and told him that he was marked a mine, then I asked if I could keep him. He said yes. I can't believe I have a vampire boyfriend. There's just something about him! He's mysterious and interesting and strong and handsome. I just blurted out that I loved him! I was terrified, but he said it back. I love him, after one day I love him. I love my sweet vampire Alex.
He kissed the top of Katie's head. "That is how we met."
"So there was never a second I didn't love you. I loved you the first time we met and in this life I loved you even before. My soul is yours." She took his hand in hers interlocking their fingers. "I don't think I've ever even heard of a love so strong it can survive death, and it's mine. You're mine."She went quiet, years of pain causing her to doubt something so perfect. "Right?"
"Heart and soul, forever. No matter your name," he strokes her hair with his free hand "or hair color," he kissed the top of her head, "I belong to you."
She swallowed hard, mulling it all over in her head listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart. Eventually she sat up looking deep into his eyes and whispered, "I felt you with me," her eyes filled with tears. "When I was hurt, when I was afraid, when it was dark and I was alone, I felt you." The tears began to fall and she placed his hand on her heart. "I know it sounds crazy, because I didn't know you, but it's true! I always knew you were going to find me. I always knew I was never alone." Her grip tightened on his hand. "When I thought all hope was lost... I felt you there. Felt your love. I doubted, I thought I was insane. Thought I had just made you up to cope with the pain in my life. But I always felt you. You were always with me"
She cried and he hugged her tight to him gently tilting her chin up to kiss her lips lovingly. "Because you were always with me." He said quietly.
She kissed him back hard her tongue finding its way into his mouth fighting his as they both gasped for air lost in each other. She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him closer and as they both pulled away from the kiss for air, he bit down on her neck. She let out a gasp in pain which quickly became a moan, and suddenly she was unbuttoning her pants and pushing them and her panties off. She undid his belt and pants, using her small hand to stroke him gently.
He pulled back from her neck moaning and pushed her down on the bed slipping between her legs. They kissed passionately with force as he pushed himself inside of her. She took in a sharp breath wrapping her arms around him and pulling off his top, running her fingers over his back as she did. He rocked his hips slowly thrusting into her and ripped her shirt off in desire, kissing the rise of her breast.
She took her bra off arching her hips for him. He sucked her nipple swirling his tongue around as he moved his hips faster. He felt her breath stop for a second as she came, contracting around him. He smiled slowing his pace again kissing her lightly on the lips, grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head. She moaned in desire, shivering with lust to which he responded by increasing the speed of his hips. "I-love-you" she said between each thrust before screaming in pleasure, her words sent him over the edge and he came hard in her. He rode out his orgasm before slowing his hips and kissing her lips releasing her arms. She panted hard under him trying to catch her breath after he so excellently stole it away.
"I love you too" he said breathing harder from his exertions. She trembled under him as he pulled back laying his head on her breast. She gently pet his hair closing her eyes. Her mind filled with more memories.
