"I'm so sorry," he sobbed. "For everything." His voice cracked. "I knew you wanted the truth,but I couldn't tell you. I don't want you to get involved. I didn't want to get attached and burden you. I'm so sorry." 

She placed a hand on his cheek, staring into his eyes. "I know."

"I didn't want to hurt you. I wanted to protect you from myself. I wanted you to be happy. But I've messed it all up," he sobbed hysterically. "I'm so sorry." He repeated. Pulling him into her arms, she hugged him tightly allowing him to sob into her shoulder.

"Who said you were a burden to me?" She frowned. "You've been an asshole, sure, but a burden, never."

"I'm a monster, I can barely hold myself together as vampire and as a man," he sniffled. "You deserve a good man, a man better than me."

"You seem to never listen to me," she shook her head, smiling. Pulling his face, she kissed him. "It seems I'm the one that got attached."

His eyes lingered momentarily before pressing his lips against her. Her eyes immediately shut, arms weaving around his neck pulling him closer. Her legs clamped on the sides of his hips as the kisses got longer and deeper.

"I wish we'd done this sooner," she muttered, as his lips trailed down her chin to her neck.

"Hold onto me, tightly," he instructed, taking her hand and kissing her palm. Following directions, he then lifted her up and plopped her onto the sofa.

"Better?" He asked, kissing her wrist.

"Better," she smiled.

"May I?" He panted, licking her wrist.

"You may," she nodded.

Kissing her wrist, he slightly nibbled on it before gently piercing it. "This is how it's meant to be done," he kissed the spot afterwards, licking the droplets of blood afterwards. "Sorry for this one,"he kissed her collar, licking the deep bite.

"It's fine," she caressed his cheek, panting. "But you can make it up to me." A mischievous smirk grew on her face.

"How?" He smirked catching onto her idea without the words needing to be exchanged. However, hearing them would be nice.

She spread her legs wider and pulled him closer. "We did miss our first night."

"I guess we did.."his eyes lingered on her lips and then fell down to her body.

"Then tonight can you-"

"Of course," he answered cutting her off.

"Aren't you eager?" She giggled.

"You don't know how long I've been holding back," he groaned, removing his shirt.

"Oh really~" she grinned. "So before the ball."

"Before the ball," he kissed her collar once again, traversing down to her chest.

"How long ago?" She asked.

"Two years ago," he cupped his hand around her chest.

"Wow," her eyes widened. "I couldn't even tell."

"Well that was the original goal," he grinned, pushing a sleeve of hers down.

"What's the new one?" She bit her lip.

"Besides taking your clothes off? It'd be making it up to you," he pushed the other sleeve down, exposing her chest more.

"Who knew you could be so bold?" She pulled his head closer.

"Well you'll have to get used to it now,after all there's no going back now," he pushed the dress down further and further. "It's gonna be a long night," he chuckled.
