Celeste enjoys her final days as a human.

oooooooooooooooooooo

The next morning, Celeste rose from Marcus' bed, and saw he was not in the room. Probably something to do with Aro, she assumed. After she had showered and dressed, she went out into the ante-room, spotting a tray of food sitting on the desk. When she noticed a note lying on the tray, Celeste picked it up and read it.

"My sweet, I took the liberty of ordering breakfast for you. We have one important task to deal with this morning, and then I will be yours to command, if there is anything you wish to do today. See you soon."

Celeste smiled, and sat down at the desk, while she ate her morning meal, consisting of a slightly spicy hash with a fried egg on top. She enjoyed the hot coffee and croissant that completed the meal, then washed up and brushed her teeth, returning to the outer room. She picked up the tray and left Marcus' room, heading for the kitchen to return the tray. She had tucked the note into her pants pocket, smiling. Last night had been intense for her. It seemed Marcus was learning to rival Aro in their love-making.

Sated and happy, Celeste hummed while she walked, wondering what she and her taller mate might do today. She didn't want to keep Aro or Caius away, but neither had said anything to her about plans for the day.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Celeste was walking back to her room, humming a favourite song, when she was suddenly shoved up against the stone wall, a pair of cold lips pressed against hers. When she managed to open her eyes after the shock, Celeste saw her blonde mate standing in front of her, a smirk on his face.

"Caius! What the hell! You might have hurt me." She tried to shove him backward, but he was immobile to the pressure.

He leaned in closer, his cool breath whispering against her ear. "How many times have I bruised you in expressing my love for you?"

She smacked his chest, then laughed. "You don't think Aro will care, do you? You're wrong."

Caius' red eyes darkened when he leaned in to inhale her scent while he pressed his hips against hers. "What say you we retire for the morning, sweeting. I will show you such pleasure, the bruises will be forgotten."

Pushing against the vampire's rigid body, Celeste said, "I'm sorry, Caius, but Marcus is taking me into the village for lunch."

"No, he's not. I asked him to let me have you for myself this morning, He will be taking you to supper instead."

"Caius, you had better not have lied to Marcus to get him to delay our time together."

"I did nothing of the sort. He agreed to my request quite amicably."

Celeste wondered if Aro would care that she was not going to be spending any time with him. He had seemed to have tempered his jealousy lately. So why was she thinking about him. Maybe it was because he had infiltrated her heart in such a way she was actually missing him when he was absent. Hadn't she told him she loved him just a bit more than either Caius or Marcus? Did she really mean it?

"You're taking me into the country, as you promised, smart guy. Let's go." Grabbing Caius' hand, Celeste dragged him down the corridor to the back door and outside to the drive where his car was waiting.

Once Caius had reached the open road, he drove well over the limit, sending Celeste into fits of nervous laughter. She trusted his innate skills, but it still made her nervous. She didn't want to die before she had the chance to gain immortality. How ironic would that be.
