Happiness courts thee in her best array;
But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench,
Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love:
Take heed; take heed, for such die miserable.
Romeo and Juliet
"Momaaaaa" Cody wailed clinging to my arm, half roused from sleep. I sighed and tousled his hair, whilst Damien frantically tried to pry him from his bed.
"Cody baby be good for daddy" I half yawned my hair also tousled by Damiens rough awakening.
"He bit me" Damien said his eyes widening in disbelief.
"He must be teething" I shrugged innocently. Cody's small fangs glittered in the night.
Muttering a few low oaths Damien lifted a struggling Damien from his bed.
Our cases were packed. the seer as Damien fondly referred to the old physic had warned us of the guards approach. i bit my lip against the torrent of questions. and willed my heart to still. The time for asking questions was over.
sighing to myself i lifted the cases into the waiting taxi. where i joined my sleeping angel. codys arms unconsciously wove there way around my waist and i tugged him closer needing his familar warmth to comfort me. How many people can say they hold the world in there arms?
looking down at codys upturned face his little mouth pressed into an annoyed scowl. i laughed quietly to myself needing the distraction. i welcomed the strange influx of air in my chest. it hitched back a sob. my heart yearned for the place i called home so many memories old and new. locked in our own little haven, we were safe from the world. safe from love, i thought a little bitterly eyeing damien as he gave the driver directions.
"where are we going" i murmured barely speaking above a whisper.
Damien glanced idly out of the window. his hand clasping my own. his thumb tracing soothing circles along my skin. i fought against the shiver that tingled down my spine. a fiery heat settled into the pit of my stomach against that one simple touch. i rested my head against his shoulder hoping to preserve the contact.
"were going home" was his simple reply. yet behind those words burned a regret so deep it took my breath away.
i leaned towards him and kissed him lightly on the lips. trying to chase away the agony in his heart. he reached for me tenderly at first. then his kiss became more pronounced. his teeth delicatly nipping against my lips. i shivered despite my minds protests.
Damein released a low guttural growl pulling me gently onto his lap.
"your killing me" he whispered. his hands rubbing up and down my arms. i smiled guiltly in the darkness. a rogue lock of hair tumbled from my bun, damien quickly wound it back into place. noticing how my heart sped. he grinned evily in the dark.
"stupid vampire" i muttered under my breath. he chuckled pulling me closer.
"mmmm dont stray so far from me love. iv missed you" he said he lips skimming back and forth along my jaw. the driver drove on oblivous.
he was either blind or very good at his job i thought wearily.
"sleep" he commanded my eyes dropped a fraction. sparks shot out of my fingers in warnnig.
"stay out of my mind" i hissed in his ear. he chuckled darkly.
"i was hoping it wouldnt come to this" he whispered smirking slightly. his tawny eyes blazed with excitment. liar i thought sarcasticaly. my eye brows raised in challenge.
