Chapter 13
I woke to Bryce's kisses, he kissed my lips, neck, chest, stomach and he left long, wet lingering kisses on the insides of my thighs.
I groaned, "Bryce, you better stop unless you are planning to finish what you are about to start."
He chuckled and breathed all over my increasingly sensitive area. I tensed up and moaned. He kissed my stomach and then my lips.
"Do you know how bad I want you," he breathed heavily in my ear.
"About as bad as I do," I said lustfully.
He growled and was in between my legs and I kissed him as he entered me. I clutched at his back and moaned and he moved sinfully in me. He kissed my lips then my neck and then my breast. I heard his growl and I felt pain at my breast, but then pleasure came.
"Oh god," I whispered and clutched at his hair.
I felt him take several pulls of my blood before kissing my lips. I kissed his back and then I reached to his neck and placed a slow lingering kiss on the column.
I bit me hard and as usual Bryce exploded in me, I kissed him hard during his release. He moaned and collapsed on me and I held me close.
"I love you, Bryce," I said softly.
He looked at me and he traced my lips, "I love you, god, how I love you."
I smiled and snuggled up to him.
I rubbed Bryce's leg and I felt something rotating on my finger. I looked at my hand and there was a gold band with blue gems studding the top.
I looked at Bryce and back at the ring. Bryce grabbed my hand and fingered the ring.
"It's a promise ring," he whispered. "I promise to love you and I want to be yours forever, if you let me," he said looking into my eyes.
Tears leaked down my eyes and I smashed my lips against his. He wrapped his arms around my waist and he kissed me back.
"I accept it," I whispered and kissed him again.
Bryce smiled and hugged me hard.
"I'm going to take a shower and we can explore Italy," I said excitedly.
"I'll join you," Bryce said following me.
We spent all day exploring, and my legs were burning and I was exhausted. Bryce was having a great time. It was sunset when we finally got back to the hotel. I collapsed on the bed and I felt Bryce chuckling and he turned me around. I was half asleep, but I felt him unbuttoning my shirt and taking it off and he took of my pants and shoes. I saw him take off his shirt and pants and he slid into the covers with me and he held me. I wrapped my arms around his torso feeling his muscles.
"Thank you," I whispered into his ear.
"You're welcome," he nuzzled at my neck and breathed deeply.
I felt asleep with in five seconds.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I'm looking at him for a reason? Yes. Simply because I have this burning desire to be with Bryce forever that is.
Bryce rolled over blinking twice. His eyes were wide causing me to jerk backwards. Bryce sat up on one arm fisting his chin.
"Geez Maria! What are you looking so scared for?" He chuckled deeply. "What, you haven't seen a vampire before?" He teased.
I giggled to myself. Of course I wasn't afraid of a vampire. Well, Bryce that is.
"I love you."
Bryce took a short pause to look from side to side. Searching for nothing in particular.
"I... love you too. Is there something wrong?" Bryce said referring to my serious expression.
I shook my head "no" harshly in order to calm my nerves. I wanted Bryce to turn me into a vampire. But, I know that he will and could not right now. Oh, how badly I want to be with him as long as he lived. I have never felt this before-such a strong feeling of deep love. Though I sometimes feel embarrassed for falling for Bryce so fast, I do not and will not ever regret it.
"There's something wrong. Tell me or," Bryce parted his lips. "I'll bite you." He tried to refrain from smiling but I could see that humor was clearly in his eyes.
I hesitated before speaking next. I'm not a vampire, and if I were I'm almost sure that things would be easier for us.
"Will, you bite me?"
I waited a few seconds for Bryce to respond. But he didn't. Instead he looked at the sheets.
"When the time is right?"
Bryce grabbed a hold of my hand and then looked up into my eyes. There, I could tell what he was feeling and it was sorrow. He suddenly sucked a breath as if to say something, but quickly pulled my arm closer and wrapped his arms around me. His chin lay lightly on my forehead as I rested to his chest.
He wasn't answering. Why? What if he didn't expect a time to come? What if Bryce doesn't want me as a vampire? My heart suddenly sank as I awaited an answer.
"Shh," Bryce said stroking my arm. "Let's go back to sleep. It's two in the morning."
I nodded but I didn't go to sleep, Bryce kept stroking my arm he could sense that I was still up. He sighed and rolled over.
After a few moments I start to shiver, without Bryce's arms around me I feel cold.
"Bryce, hold me," I whispered.
Bryce turned around and looked me in the eye and he wrapped his arms around me and I was pressed against his chest.
I leaned up and kissed him softly, my tongue tracing his lips. He sighed and my tongue invaded, Bryce's tongue wrestled with mine and I giggled softly. I felt his hand sliding under my shirt; his fingers lightly feathered my skin. I moaned and broke apart breathing heavily.
Bryce smiled at the reaction I just did. He pulled me close and nuzzled at my neck.
"I love you," Bryce whispered.
"I love you too Bryce," I said stroking his hair.
He breathed deeply and I felt his slow breathing, he was asleep. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
