Dinner (GxG)

|Dinner 5|

11:29 am.

I wake up from the stirring of my mate. When I open my eyes, she and teddy are looking back at me. I smile gently at her and lean in for a kiss, when I suddenly stop myself halfway. Shit! I need to convince her she's my mate first! Apparently she saw the change in my emotions as she asks, "Is there something wrong, my lady?"

I can smell the beginning of fear. Trying to convince her nothing's up I walk to my closet. Even though I wear almost nothing, since I like to show of my good-looking body, I take out one of my many thongs and matching chest plates that really only covers the necessary parts of my breasts.

As full-blood vampire I'm quite invincibile, so there's no need for full body armor. I change quicker than my mate's eyes can follow and turn around. A smile on her lips gives me the idea she likes what she's seeing. "You like it?"

With a too eager nod she agrees and makes teddy shake. Seeing him in her arms still gives me a bubbly feeling, but I can imagine dragging such unimportant thing around is only a nuisances. "You can let go of him now," I say, pointing at teddy. She shakes her head, which makes me say, "Really, you don't have to carry him around if you don't want to."

"I want to," she replies, her voice taking me away to to cloud nine. Yes, I admit, she's very hard to resist. God, I love her voice, her touch, her eyes, her hair, her everything. And if she becomes healthier I can only imagine the beautiful curves she probably has. Slightly horny and almost drooling I pull her in a hug, feeling her skin against mine, making me shiver under the touch. I dig my nose in her neck and try to sniff her scent as unnoticeable as possible.  She caresses my back and I lean in to her, letting me engulf in her warmth, hug and comfort. Once again I close my eyes and hug her back. Staying like this I don't want to break our special moment. She lays her head on my shoulder and I sigh in delight. If this is all I get then so be it.

God, I love her!

I don't know how long we stayed like this, but she suddenly broke our contact, standing up and sitting on the bed again. She takes teddy in her arms again, keeping him in front of her chest. I follow her every move and notice that, despite her skinniness she moves as graceful as a seductive lioness. One day, she's gonna kill me without even realizing.

"I'm sorry for doing what I did," she whispers, not looking at me but at the blanket.

"There's no need to apologize for you're my mate," I say, smiling gently. Her face turns bright red and I hide my smile. She's lovely when she blushes.

"Ma... Mate?" She stutters, almost in shock. Uh... I've said that out loud? Does she not want to be my mate? Shi-

Before I can reply a roar from her stomach notifies us that she needs to eat. We laugh at her grumbling stomach and the tension lessens. "You don't have to be, if you don't want to," I say as lightly as I can muster, yet feeling as heavy as earth itself.

As I say that, indescribable fear spreads through my body, making me immobile. What if she says no? She probably says no! She's going to say no!! Oh holy shit! What am I to do then?! Should I make her fall for me? Should I seduce her? Should I force her? Should I kill myself? Should I get myself killed? Should I kill her? And then myself? What in God's name am I going to do!?!

"So... What you said last night was true?" My thoughts distracted, I focus on what she just said. Last night... Last night... La-

It must've been when I sneaked into bed! That's the only explanation. I had locked her in my room, let her rest and then I slept with her. So... What have I asked for? As I was searching again it flashes up and I turn bright red, if that's even possible. Last night I must have murmured something like, "You're my mate, my lovely mate I can't resist at all. Please accept my love for you" because it's the last thing I remember.

"You heard me?"

"I did. Is that why you're so nice to me?" Nice? The things I said and did were anything but nice.

"You call that nice? One second I treat you like a princess and the next like garbage and you call that being nice? Besides, I've locked you up in this room for I don't know how many hours. If I had accepted you from the moment we met I would've been sweet, or sweeter, from the start. But no, I had to deny the bond, causing me mood swings," I ramble. "And it's not that I hate you, it's nothing personal, but I have had a very bad experience with humans so that's why I resisted tho bond."

"Well... Say what you want, in my eyes you're nice," she defies. Shaking my head slightly in disbelief I let it slide. "So... What do you think of it, being my mate?"

"To tell you the truth?" If I had a heart it'd be hammering in my chest furiously, trying to hammer its way out. I've never been this nervous before! "I feel really flattered and I want to say yes, but I'm not worthy to be your mate."

I mentally jump and can't hide the smile slipping on my face. She wants to be my mate! I'll convince her she is worth all and everything in this world.

"Trust me, I'll show you how beautiful you are." She fumbles with teddy when her stomach roars again. "I'll let Violet bring you breakfast."

"Can... Can I eat with the rest?" She mumbles.

"Yes, if that's what you want, but why? You're no longer my personal servant. You can eat with me."

"Please," she begs without explaining herself. I nod and smile as gently as I can. Her wishes are my commands.

"Can I at least take off your collar?"

As unexpected as it came I understand why, as she replies, "Not if it makes me stand out." Point taken.

"Would you mind if I turn it silver, then?"

"Silver? Because I'm special?"

"Yes. May I address you by your name?" I ask, knowing humans prefer to call each other by their given names. Which of course I don't understand because it is so distant. I'd rather call her mate.

"Yes, if you want to," and she points at her collar. I turn it silver and it almost looks like a necklace. I remover her number as well. She's no longer an insignificant human being, she's my mate! As I do she whispers, "Lily. I'm Lily. And you? What's you're name?"

"Frankie," I gasp. "May I escort you to the servants quarters, Lily?" God! Saying her name got me hot! She then leans forward and hugs me again. Her touch making me even hornier. Great, she she just found out she's my mate and I'm already getting hot and bothered. Way to go...

"Yes," she whispers. "Will you treat me different from the others?"

"Yes."

"Could you not, please?"

"For you'll stand out?"

"Yes. Please don't treat me different. The collar's enough difference."

"Fine," I mumble reluctantly. "But tell me when you've changed your mind, okay? Now, shall we get you dressed and fed properly?"

With a smile she jumps off the bed and takes my hand. Together we walk out, happily. As we walk back to the servants quarters I notice she's still holding onto my one and only teddy bear.

In the end I didn't last 24 hours.
