The Same Star. (Ian Somerhalder vampire story)

Chapter Fifteen.

Roman's Point Of View -

It was weird being so forward with someone. Never in all my existence have I told a woman that we will be getting married. Especially after actually knowing her for only about a week. But technically I've known her her whole life, she just never knew of me.

I just can't help myself around her. She brings out the feral beast in me. And at this moment I am trying to contain the urge to tear the clothes of mine she wears, off her smooth, silky, milky white skin...

'Hold it together Roman.' My mind roars.

Though the look of her perfect, plump, supple breasts look so inviting...

I groan in frustration, shifting in my seat uncomfortably as my manhood presses against my dark blue jeans.

October's curious eyes look at me as she continues to munch away at her breakfast. She raises her eyebrow, encouraging me to tell her what the problem is.

"It's nothing. You just look absolutely delicious." I state simply, shrugging my shoulders.

As she parted her pouty rosey lips to say something we are cut off yet again by the obnoxious Rudy,

"So I got like 10 bags of stuff. The women at the stores said this shit is what's in right now." He states, coming over with arms full of bags from various stores.

October has a visible blush sprawled across her cheeks and not making any eye contact as she grabs them.

"Thanks Rudy." She mumbles as she dashes for the stairs. Earning her an eruption of laughter from Rud and I.

"There's also some special outfits for Roman and you!" He calls after her.

Too embarrassed to reply, she continues up the wooden staircase and out of sight into our room.

"What did you get?" I ask curiously.

Rudy shrugs simply, "I bought some lingerie. So you to can finally just do it! I mean you're mates, but you haven't marked her yet. So what if other vampires or those damn lycans try and pursue her?"

This causes my mind to work in overdrive. I wanted to do the mating ritual along when we got married. But what Rudy had just said is completely true. This needs to be done soon and fast.

"Tomorrow is the night. I need you and Niklaus to make this house as romantic as possible. The mating ritual happens at the full moon." I briskly tell him as I run up to tell October.

When I open the door I'm greeted by the most beautiful and alluring sight. October standing in absolutely nothing as she decides what to wear. I stand there a few moments more taking in every curve, and every inch of her beautiful skin before letting my presence known.

October lets out a small shriek, twirling around and giving me a few frontal view.

My mouth drops open, how can she just get even more gorgeous?!

Once she saw it was me she calmed down and continued into her task.

She chose a pair of black lace boyshort cut panties and a matching push-up. Slipping into those first she pulls on some black shorts and a flowy white tank top.

"So what's up?" She asks she takes a seat on my lap.

I wrap my arms around her waist, taking a deep inhale of her scent before telling her about the mating ritual.

"Being mates doesn't mean anything really other than you have this undeniable urge to be with that person. To be true mates we have to partake in this thing called a mating ritual. It has four parts to it..."

She pulls away and looks at me confused. So I take the silence to continue,

"The first part is the marking, but the marking takes place when we Uhm... Are making love. The second part we have a religious figure symbolize us as mates. The third part is we must meet all my family, or the royals, to give their blessing for us being mates, and the fourth part is we smoke this herb, it's called the truth herb. We cannot be mates without complete honesty with no lies." I state the rules of the mating ritual to her quickly and briefly. I didn't want to scare her off.

She sat on my lap for a few minutes before saying anything to me,

" I want you, and all of you forever. So if this ritual helps me do that, I will." She assures me softly.

A smile from ear to ear spread across my lips as I kiss her passionately and rough.

"I couldn't imagine a better mate." I breathe against her lips.

"Me either." She whispers against mine.

She jumps off my lap and make her way over to a large Victoria secret bag and tosses it to me.

"This will come in handy for the marking." She states seductively.

I rummage through the bag's inventory. Tons and tons of sexy lingerie, bras and panties.

My eyes widen and my manhood stirs in my pants as I think of October wearing these for me, and me only.

"I can't wait for tomorrow." I say in a low husky voice.

She giggle and pecks my cheek, "I've been dying to get inside those pants for awhile now." She purrs into my ear before exiting the room in her new black and white Nike high tops.

'I guess Rudy can shop all right. He's got some taste.' I think to myself.

I follow her out the door and downstairs into the living room where Niklaus and Rudy sat watching the television.

"So the marking will take place here, the next day we fly out to my parents to finish the ritual." I state in my authority voice.

Thy both bow their heads in respect.

"Now we take October to see her brother." I command as they get up off the couch and follow us outside.
