The Same Star. (Ian Somerhalder vampire story)

Chapter Twenty Six

October's Point Of View:

After multiple mind blowing orgasms Roman and I fell to the bed; both panting heavily. Roman turned onto his side, using his elbows to prop himself up; staring at me intently. The intensity of his stare caused me to blush and look at him shyly.

Using his index finger he traced over my lips, "You are so incredibly beautiful, October. I am so extremely lucky to have you as my mate." He spoke softly, gazing lovingly into my eyes.

His words tugged roughly at my heart and caused the butterflies in my stomach to dance around so much that they were about to rupture from my abdomen. I bit my lower lip as I stared right back into those captivating eyes; everything around us diminished, and there was just him and I in this moment.

With one soft sigh, I cupped his soft cheek, "I want you and only you... from now until eternity. I love you Roman Edwardian Harper. Please do not make me regret choosing you." I whispered sure of my decision.

"I love you more than this immortal life. I will prove to you every day and every night, that you are the only means of my existence." He replied confidently.

And with those promises to each other, we brought our face closer and closer together until our lips gently grazed upon each other's; causing electricity to spark in my being and sparks flow through my veins. We pulled away after a few short minutes and held each other close as we fell into a blissful sleep.

The morning passed by uneventful as Roman was preoccupied with tonight's mating ceremony. To say that I am nervous is a complete understatement; I was completely and utterly terrified. People are going to watch Roman and I... mate! The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became with the idea. It didn't matter if we were hidden behind draping sheets, it still was extremely weird. After mating and marking part of the ceremony, it was time for Roman to turn me. Even though I was out of my mind terrified, I felt this serenity about it. I would be able to spend an eternity with this absolutely amazing man that I love so dearly.

Roman has held his end up his end of the deal, he did indeed get in contact with my birth parents; although he hasn't reversed the compulsion yet which is frustrating to say the least, but at least I finally get to meet my biological parents. This damn day is going to be the death of me (and in a literal sense as well).

I was sitting at the large vanity in Roman and my room in a white silk robe as I prepared for the night. Roman's mother sat in the chair by the vanity table going over last minute details with me as maids flew around me doing my makeup, hair, nails, and seeing if I needed anything. My head began to thump loudly with everything happening around me. I squeezed my eyes shut, taking deep breaths in and out. I only opened my eyes when I heard multiple gasps around me; I groaned and twirled around in my chair to see what all the fuss was about.

 Suddenly I couldn't breath, it felt like my heart stopped pumping and my whole body went numb. There in the doorway stood the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her figure was tall but petite, although she had curves in all the right place. Her auburn hair flowed down to her waist in soft curls, framing her beautiful heart shaped face. Her lips were plump, but not too big; just perfect. Her big hazel doe like eyes stared directly at me with so much adoration and love that my heart swelled and wanted to burst in my chest. And her smile... it literally lit the whole room up. I could not stop staring at this absolute perfect being in front of me.

 As she started to glide, rather than walk, across the room towards me I couldn't help but want to be in her warm embrace. I stood up from my chair and was frozen; I felt like I was in a daze. She now stood in front of me, love and warmth spewing out of her as she warped me tightly in her arms. My arms instantly went around her, not ever wanting to let go. As we stood in this embrace it finally dawned on me, this can't possibly be my biological mother. Could it?
