"HE DID WHAT?" my best friends Matt, Tessa, Darren and Marcel shrieked
It was the next day at lunch and I had just told them about my interesting night.
"He bit my thigh," I repeated, "Matt your mom is dating his dad tell me what you know about him."
"Well considering I've only known him for a few months I don't know every detail about his life," he began " but here's what I do know. He is a very talented person; he sings, dances acts, he even started the glee club here 150 years ago. He plans weddings, he's an interior designer, he's been on Broadway at least once, he's written plays, and books, he's a pretty good piano player. Beside from that he can be possessive, as you've probably experienced, but he's very accommodating and sweet at times. He'll make a great Syre, and brother if our parent's ever go that far."
My eyes were wide as he finished. My Syre had done so much it was unbelievable. And we were into the same things, that would help.
Marcel cleared her throat, " Y'all don't know this but I've been Chris best friend for a hundred years. Matt has been right, but he forgot a couple of things. He's also a fashion designer and, I hate to say this behind his back, a total shopaholic. We're going on Saturday if you wanna join us Rach."
"With The Fashionista Duo no thanks."
We all laughed enjoying the moment between friends
Suddenly Tessa sniffed the air "Uh Rach Chris is coming. I'm pretty sure he's here to see you."
I groaned " I do not want to deal with him right now."
"Rachel you have to. If you don't he'll get really mad." Matt chuckled "Trust me."
I groaned again "Fine! where is he?"
"By the choir room."
I marched off to the choir room, still not quite in the mood for a romantic interlude with anyone, especially not my natural enemy and forbidden Syre.
"Hello Darling" his voice echoed down the hall as I walked toward him
"Hello" I whispered as a sudden shyness enveloped me. "What are you doing here?"
"Is it a crime for a man to see his female?" he said pouting, "and besides I brought you these." he held out a huge bouquet of red roses.
"Oh Chris! They're beautiful!" I cried, forgetting that I was supposed to be annoyed at him.
He suddenly began to growl and screamed "Matt get the girls out of here! There's a little thing called privacy so I would like to have a moment with Rachel ALONE!"
I giggled as I turned to see Matt and the girls running back towards the lunchroom.
"Finally," he breathed nuzzling my neck gently licking it. " you taste even more sweet than I remember Love."
"Chris wait not here." I whispered trying to push him away.
"Yes here Mate. I don't care if your family are vampire hunters. I don't care if your uncle works here and might catch us and kill me. I know you can't love me yet, but I love you and I'll take the risk of dying to be with you." he had talked so quickly I barely caught it all.
"Now can I kiss you?" he asked gently stoking my face
I sighed deeply thinking "Yes." I finally whispered.
Unlike the night before he kissed me gently, it was not heated or passionate just soft gentle and loving. But like the night before my body responded to my Syre's touch almost instantly.
A minute or so later the bell rang and Chris pulled away. "I'll see you tonight my love." he whispered
I stood by my uncle's class completely in a daze, tears threatening to run down my cheeks. My life was so confusing right now! My uncle had raised me since I was five, he says I must join the family hunter ranks after I graduate. But I didn't want to, for some reason I felt I wanted to stay with Chris as future queen of vampires. Maybe it was his venom running through me or maybe I was slowly falling for my Syre. No matter what it was I didn't want to think right now.
I entered the choir room after a few minutes. I sat by Matt, hugged him, and began to sob.
" Rachel what's wrong?" he asked.
I only shook my head and continued to cry.
"Tell me Rachel."
I took a deep breath and told him about my uncle, my feelings about Chris, everything.
"Rach it's perfectly normal to feel that way after a claiming. Trust me I felt it too after Tessa claimed me. And yes you having Vampire Hunter blood in you makes things more complicated than usual. But It will all work out. OK?
I sniffled then smiled "OK" I rubbed my throat and winced
"What is it?"
" My throat hurts."
"Do you want me to call Chris to take you home?"
"Yes, but what about Uncle Tom?"
"I'll tell him you went home sick." Matt said taking out his phone, "Chris, Rachel is sick she needs to go home... right..OK... I'll have her there."
He grabbed my hand and started to run to the front door.
"Whoa Matt slow down!"
"Can't, Chris'll be here in thirty-seven seconds!"
We burst through the door to see an empty parking lot.
"You better hug me now cause Chris is a jealous guy." Matt joked poking me in the ribs.
I pulled him into a tight hug. "Thanks Matt."
"You're welcome."
Pulling away he said "You'll make a great sister someday. Now go."
As I turned I saw a sleek black Mercedes parked right behind me.
I ran to it and got in.
"Hello Darling."
"Hello Chris."
The small New England town sped before my eyes as Chris drove toward the cluster of homes.
"Should I take you to the hospital?"
"NO! It's just a sore throat I'll be fine."
" Rachel you could have a tonsil problem or laryngitis." He sounded like an over worried mother.
"Chris you're overreacting." I sighed "if I don't feel better by tomorrow you can take me to the hospital OK?"
"Fine."
As soon as we reached the house Chris never let my feet touch the ground. Despite my protests he carried me to my room and laid me on my bed.
He sighed as he joined me.
"Chris," I began, wondering why I was about to ask this
"Hmm?"
"Will you...kiss me?"
He smiled "gladly Love, gladly"
His lips touched mine gently. As it continued the kiss became as heated and passionate as the night before.
My fingers shook as they fumbled with the buttons on his shirt.
'Oh, what am I doing?' my rational mind screamed as my hands stroked his perfectly muscled chest while his traveled to my skirt. I assumed to rip it.
"RACHEL I'M HOME!" my uncles voice called
'Oh no!' I thought
