My Vampire Mate

I Love You

Daren's POV

Today with Kiera was amazing. I mean, I've done stuff like that with girls before and I'm definitely not a virgin, but it was different with Kiera. I actually love her and care for her. And by the thoughts that are going through her head, I know she feels the same way. I've never felt this way about a girl before. But then again, she is my mate so it is to be expected. It makes me wish that I would have waited for my mate before I had sex but, I'm a teenage boy, I have needs. Not that that is an excuse, but still. She is the most amazing girl I have ever met. She can have a little attitude sometimes but it's usually only when I tell her what to do. She is a very independent woman and I like that about her. She doesn't take shit from anybody and she tells it like it is. Since I've been with her, I have been so happy. I can't even remember the last time I was this happy. She brings out the soft side of me and I kind of like it. But she also brings out the possessive side in me. I mean, she wears these short shorts and tank tops or off the shoulder shirts which, I'm not gonna lie, they're totally hot, but I don't like other guys checking her out at school. I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but it still makes me crazy when she wears that stuff and guys look at her that way.

Kiera and I are laying down in my bed still from our previous...actions. She's laying her head on my chest and I'm running my fingers through her long soft hair. It smells so good, like watermelons.

"Daren?" "Oh sorry, I zoned out for a sec." She giggles and places her hand on my chest. "I asked you what we're going to do for the rest of the day." "Oh. Well, I just brought some groceries the other day. Why don't we cook dinner together, since we both love it. We'll both cook dinner and you can bake something for desert." I say with a smile. "That sounds great." she says with a cute smile on her face. "I kiss her forehead and she gets up and so do I. I go over and grab my shorts and shirt and put them on, while Kiera goes and puts on her shorts. "Hey, Daren? Where is my shirt?" I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her waist. "I think you should just leave the shirt off." I say with a smirk. Her face gets red and she has an embarrassed smile on her face. "You'd like that wouldn't you?" "She asks. "Very much so." "Mhmm. Too bad I don't aim to please." she says with a smirk "You did when we were in bed a while ago." I say with a smirk and her face instantly drops. I chuckle at her and she rolls her eyes and walks into the living room, remembering where her shirt is.

When I go into the living room with Kiera, I see her sitting on the couch and watching tv. I walk over to her and sit down next to her. I put my arms around her waist and lift her up and put her on my lap. She turns a little and lays her head against my chest, snuggling into me. "What time is it?" "About 5:30. Wow, we were in bed for a while." "Yeah like, 4 hours." "Well, we were pretty busy for a while." I say with a smirk and she slaps my shoulder playfully and I chuckle. "We should probably start dinner soon." she says. "Yeah, your right. Wanna go ahead and start?" I ask. "Yeah." She hops up off my lap and starts to walk over to the kitchen. I watch as she walks and I can't help but watch her ass as she walks. She is just so fine! "OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?" I immediately snap out of my daze and walk over to her. I look in the fridge and then realize that she saw the bottles of blood. Shit! I look back over at her and she looks like she is about to faint or have a panic attack. I walk over to her, since she is now all the way on the other side of the kitchen, leaning against the wall. "Baby, it's ok. It's just blood. And you know I only dink animal blood, so just calm down." I put my hands on her face and pull it up towards me since she is looking at the floor and not at me. She looks at me with sadness in her eyes. I can tell that she wants to ask me about it because she keeps looking from me to the fridge. "Go ahead. You can ask me anything about it if you want." I say with a reassuring smile. "W-why do you keep the b-b-blood in there?" "I do that so I don't have to constantly go out and hunt. I keep it in bottles so that when I get...thirsty, I can just grab a bottle and drink it quickly." I tell her. She just nods her head and calms down a little bit. "Are you gonna be ok?" "Yeah. I just didn't expect to see that." "I'll move them down into the garage. I don't want you to have to see them again." I say quickly. I go over to the fridge and grab all the bottles and run down to the garage as fast as I can and put the bottles in the fridge and come back into the kitchen. I look over at her and her mouth is wide open. Shit. I used my vampire speed didn't I? "I didn't know you could run that fast." she says. "It's a vampire thing." I say nonchalantly. "Come on, lets start cooking." I say to her and give her a smile. She smiles back and nods her head.

Half an hour later, the kitchen is a mess. There is flower every where. In my hair, in Kiera's hair, our faces and all over the island and floor. "You have flower all over you." I say. "No shit." she says sarcastically. I walk over to her with a wet cloth and wrap one arm around her waist and pull her closer to me. She looks me in the eye and smiles. I smile back and take the cloth and wipe it over her face to get the flour off. When I'm done, I kiss her cheek and she giggles. She grabs the cloth from me and smirks. "Your turn." she says. She takes the cloth and runs it over my face to get all of the flour off. When she's done, she sets the cloth down and wraps both her arms around my neck. "So, when do you think the food will be ready?" she asks. "Probably about 15 minutes." "Ok. Then we have a little time for this." she says and leans into me. Her lips crash into mine and I respond automatically. I put both of my hands on her waist and I bring her as close as possible to me. She nibbles on my lip and I open my mouth and she slides her tounge into my mouth. She explores my mouth but I soon take over the kiss. I suck on her tounge for a few seconds until she pulls away for air. I move my mouth to her neck and start kissing it. I nibble on it and she lets out a sexy moan. I slide my hand up her shirt and almost get to her bra before she pulls away, leaving me disappointed. "Whoa,  we don't have that much time." she says, a little out of breath. I can see in her eyes that she wants it too but one of us has to be the rational one and I guess it's going to be her. "Ok." I say with a sigh.

About 10 minutes later, the food is ready and we sit down at the island. We cleaned up before the food was done that way we had somewhere to sit and eat. We made fried chicken, roasted potatoes, and some pasta. Hey, she's southern, what can I say? "So, how is the food?" I ask. "It's amazing. You really can cook." "Yeah, I know." She shoves my arm a little and I chuckle. After we finish dinner, she gets out all the ingredients for the desert she's going to make. "Ok, I want this to be a surprise, so go in the living room and watch tv." she says. "But can't I have a kiss first?" I say with a puppy dog look on my face. She giggles and walks over to me and puts her hands on my cheeks and pulls my face down to hers and gives me a short but sweet kiss. I smile and walk into the living room a sit on the couch and turn the tv on. A few minutes later I can hear her mixing things and bowls being shuffled. Then, I smell this amazing smell. It smells like strawberry's and cream cheese. I cant wait till I get to see what she's making. I cant wait to eat it too.

"Ok, you can come in here now." I instantly get up and make my way into the kitchen. The smell gets even stronger and becomes intoxicating. When I get in there her back is turned to me and then she turns around. When she faces me, I see this pan in her hands. She sets it down on the counter and then walks over the cabinet and pulls out 2 plates. Then she goes over to the drawer and grabs a knife. She walks back over to the pan and cuts out two pieces of the desert. She places a piece on each plate and then passes one to me. I pick it up and take a bit. My eyes go wide at how delicious this is. "Oh my god. This is amazing babe. What is it?" "Thanks. It's a family recipe. My grandma taught me how to make it. They're called 'Strawberry Ooey Gooey Butter Bars'." "There so good. You weren't lying when you said you could bake." She smiles and I smile back at her.

After we finish the desert, I ask her to dance with me. "But there's no music." "Hold on a sec." I go into my room and look through this box in the bottom of my closet. I finally find this old boom box that I used to have when I was younger and I pull it out from the box and bring it into the kitchen. I set it on the island and turn it on. I click through some channels until I land on the song "Far Away" by Nickelback. I hold my hand out for her and she smiles and takes my hand. I pull her close to me and put both my hands on her waist and she wraps both her arms around my neck. We start to move to the music and she leans her head on my shoulder. I kiss her head and smile to myself. "This has been an amazing day." she whispers. "It's been perfect." I say. She looks up at me and I lean down and kiss her. I kiss her with as much passion and love as I can. When we pull away, I cant help but say the only thing that's running through my head. "I love you."
