Her Vampire & Her Werewolf

Chapter Seven

The moment had passed between Devon and myself when the thunder kept rolling in. Getting up I walked over to the window to see how bad the storm was.

A flash of lightning lit up the night sky and I saw Devon's reflection behind me. His hands went onto my shoulders, and without thinking I leaned my back into his chest.

I don't know if it was the electricity in the air from the storm, or what it was but something deep inside of me awakened just from his touch.

"Tori, I want to talk to you about a few things," Devon said quietly. I could hear a bit of uncertainty in his voice.

I looked up at him and saw the seriousness etched on his face.

"Okay" I said, unsure of what he was going to tell me.

"Let's sit by the fire" he said as he took ahold of my hand and walked over to the fireplace.

We sat down facing each other, my butterflies were starting to emerge and do their little dance in my stomach.

"Even before I met you, your aunt would talk about you all the time, she would show me pictures of you growing up. I started to fall for you even before I met you.

I know that sounds crazy, but there was something in your eyes, a longing mixed with a bit of sadness.

Just looking at you in those pictures, something deep inside of me wanted to go where you were and protect you. Your aunt knew what was going on, she wouldn't say anything, just smile and give me a knowing look even though I didn't mention anything out loud to her.

She knew I haven't been with anyone, that my life was for only one woman that I knew deep in my bones would complete me.

I was about to give up, but that night before she passed, she called me and asked me to come over.

There was something she needed to talk to me about. I knew she had abilities, and that she was different than most people I have ever met.

It's probably why I valued our friendship. She didn't look at me differently or question me about my past.

Your aunt told me about your abilities, and about the relationship between you and her. How she thought of you as her daughter, also a kindred spirit, she felt you both shared the same soul in a way.

She asked me about my past the last night she was alive, and I told her everything about me, who I truly was, what I wanted in this life. Afterwards, she handed me a key and told me when I was ready to share my life with that special woman who would accept me for who I was, there would be a box for me to open. She also told me that only you would know where this box was and if you opened your heart to me, and we became one, that was when I could open the box.

Now before you say anything, I want you to know that my feelings have been there for you, but I didn't know how real or strong they would be until that night I saw you pulling up in your car.

I watched you look at the house, the nervousness on your face, but the love you held in your eyes. I knew right then that you were the woman that was destined for me.

Now I don't know how you feel about me, or any of this. But I wanted you to know my feelings. It's okay if you don't share what I feel, and you only want to be friends. But I felt it was time to let you know what my intentions were."

I sat there listening to everything Devon was saying, and as soon as he started talking those little butterflies disappeared. It wasn't anything bad, it was the opposite.

He was expressing his desire to be with me, to form a relationship with me. My heart warmed at his words, and sitting here in front of the fire with him as he told me what he wanted to talk about, I found myself opening up to the idea of being with him. It was what I wanted from that first moment I heard him speak that night.

Maybe it was time I let go of the fear of the unknown and let myself soar on the winds that were asking me to fly.

"Devon, there are a few things you should know about me before we agree on what we are to become.

I haven't been with anyone else, ever. I'm twenty six years old and still a virgin. I have never dated or kissed anyone. But since I have been here and around you, the walls that I held in place around my heart, have been crumbling. How you want to protect me, I've never had that before and at first it was a bit unnerving but at the same time I felt safe around you. To me that meant the world.

I've never had that safe feeling, even growing up my mother would always tell me no one would ever love me, that I better get used to being on my own like my aunt.

That night you introduced yourself, I felt a spark deep inside of me, as if a small fire had been lit. I want to always be with you, to do things with you, explore new areas and grow with you. My aunt asked me to let myself feel, and to open myself up to you.

I want to explore what we could have Devon; I've fallen for you as well and want to be with you" I said as I looked deep into his eyes.

Devon reached out and his hand caressed the side of my face for a moment, before pulling me towards him and our lips touched. It was soft and gentle. He pulled back just a little, letting me take the reins on what I wanted.

I leaned in and kissed him, giving myself over to him. At that moment I felt a spark jump between us. It was as if fate was binding us together at that moment in time.

He pulled me onto his lap as our kiss deepened, not letting go of each other, our hands roamed and explored our bodies. Our kissing became fevered, and we couldn't get enough of each other.

Without breaking our kiss, Devon stood up with me in his arms and carried me into my bedroom, laying me on the bed. As we laid there side by side, he looked into my eyes, searching for an answer to an unspoken question.

"I want you" I whispered as I looked into his eyes, and that was all it took. He slowly undressed me, kissing every inch of my body. I knew he would make this special for both of us, since we both were untouched by another.

"There's one more thing that I need to tell you before we continue" he said as he trailed his kisses down to my stomach.

"What's that?" I asked breathlessly.

He moved up and was resting on his elbows, leaning over so we were face to face.

"There is a part of me that isn't human, that one would think I was a monster but I'm not. I was born this way."

"Okay" I said quietly, searching his face for any kind of clue as if he was being serious or joking.

But by the look in his eyes and on his face, this wasn't a joke, what he was saying was true. I could feel it in my bones.

"I'm what you call a vampire, I have lived over three hundred years and in that whole time I haven't been with a woman. I was telling the truth about saving myself until I found that one that was made for me, to share my life with."

I laid there not knowing what to think, I knew he was telling me the truth at that moment, but what surprised me was I didn't care that he was one.

I placed my hand on his face, tracing the outline of his cheek and jaw.

"That doesn't bother me, I still want to be with you" I said, and I meant it. Something inside of me knew I would be fine with him, that he wouldn't ever hurt me.

A tear escaped his one eye, as I lifted my head up and our lips touched, I wanted him to know that I still wanted to be with him.

Devon stood up and undressed himself in front of me, his body was magnificent. It was as if the gods had carved him out of stone and breathed life into him.

He climbed on top of me, spreading my legs with his, and as he gazed into my eyes I smiled at him. He was tender and slow, letting the pain subside once he had broken my seal.

We spent the next few hours exploring each other, climaxing to new heights that I never knew existed.

As the storm outside raged on, it created the perfect atmosphere inside this house. It gave us the strength and courage that we so desperately needed to be truthful of our feelings, and to finally become one with each other.

Laying in his arms, peace finally settled over me. For the first time in my life I felt that I finally belonged to someone who was made for me, to love me for who I truly was.
