The Devil's Angel (paused)

Chapter 7

"Don't you want to marry me someday? It doesn't have to be soon but I would like to get married to you in a few years if that's okay with you", Brian asked me a bit sad.

"Th-That's not it! I would really like to marry you someday", I admitted blushing.

"Then why are you so shocked?"

"Because I didn't know. I didn't know that you wanted to marry me! Also we only know each other for about four days."

"But that's obvious. At least I thought that it was. But it makes me really happy to know that you wanna marry me too and besides we are mates so it's not unusual to want to marry each other", he answered smiling.

Seeing his smile made me blush harder and it also made my heart beat faster than it already was.

"I like your smile", I whispered without knowing.

"And I like your blushing face", he whispered back and I could have sworn that I saw a faint red on his cheeks.

"Th-Thank you. I have a question, Brian. Can you tell me a bit more about soul mates?", I asked hesitantly.

"Of course. So when we find our soul mate we instantly fall in love with them but when our mate is human there are many risks because they don't feel everything we do and they don't always fall instantly in love with us. So it's not unusual that our human mates reject us. That's also why I was so worried when I didn't see you in bed when I came back after getting some clothes for you. When you didn't come out of the bathroom I thought you killed yourself because of me", he explained with tears rolling down his face.

I wiped the tears from is face and answered him.

"You don't need to worry about something like that. I won't kill myself and I won't ever leave you - not in a million years, you hear. I love you and I won't reject you."

He nodded and started to talk again.

"I'm really grateful for that you are here with me right now and that you won't reject me and that you love me. So where was I? Right. Normally supernatural creatures tend to mate with their mate soon after they meet. Mostly on the same day."

"What does that mean? Mate?", I interrupted.

"Mating is when we create a bond. In short we have sex and mark each other. Every creature marks their soul mate differently. Vampires for example bite their mate in the neck and drink their blood. After they healed the bite on their mates neck their will be a tattoo like imprint of the name of the marked persons soul mate. So someday my name will be written on your neck", he explained to me while running his right hand over my neck.

Shivers ran down my spine and I closed my eyes at the sensation.

"How will I be able to mark you?", I mumbled.

"You will just bite my neck as hard as you can so you draw out blood and drink some of it.  That would do the job but maybe you shouldn't mark me", he whispered.

"Why?", I asked irritated and wide eyed.

"When I mark you and you mark me it would mean that you would turn into a vampire. You would never age and be immortal and you would see all your family members and friends die. Also you would have to drink my blood and we would have to move around a lot so the humans wouldn't get suspicious of us", he answered.

"1. I only have an abusive father and I wouldn't really mind if he died.
  2. I don't have any friends besides you what doesn't mean that you're just a friend to me.
  3. I wouldn't have a problem with drinking your blood to survive as long as it doesn't harm you in any way.
  4. I already move a lot since I'm five years old in case you didn't notice.
  5. I really do love you so I would do anything just to be with you.
  6. I don't have anything against spending eternity with you, Brian."

"Do you honestly mean it?", he asked with sparkling eyes and a light blush on his cheeks.

"Every word. I love you more than anything in this whole world", I admitted.

"I love you too, Jack", he replied and I blushed at the new nickname.

"I'm glad but please stop with the nicknames, Brian. It's embarrassing", I told him.

"No, I won't because I like my little Angel. Why don't you think of a nickname for me? You could call me by a name nobody else would call me so I would have a special name that my soul mate gave me", he smirked.

"I'll think about it", I mumbled.

"Please do", he said and pulled me close so that my head was laying on his chest.

"By the way what is a mate bond?", I asked after a while.

"A mate bond starts when we meet our soul mate. For example we share dreams with each other but as soon as we mark each other we'll be able to read each others thoughts and some soul mates can even affect each others feelings. When our mate is human it's often that the human would get sick the first few times when they meet because their body needs to get used to the feeling of feeling their soul mate", he explained.

"So you're saying that we are connected to each other as soon as we mate?", I asked.

"Yeah, you could say it like that, too", he mumbled.

"So we won't have any secrets from another?"

"Yes", he said.

"That's good. I'm really glad that I got to meet you Brian. I can finally trust someone and I won't have to be afraid of being cheated on", I mumbled.

"Were you in a relationship before?", Brian asked suddenly.

"No. I'm still a virgin and I haven't had my first kiss yet. I wanted it to be special and also there wasn't anyone I was interested in before you came around", I admitted blushing like crazy.

"That's good because then I will be the one to take all your first experiences and what could be better than sharing them with your mate?", he asked smirking.

"D-Does that mean that you never...?"

"Had sex with someone? Yes, I'm still a virgin like you and I tell you that wasn't easy sometimes. I'm 180 years old so I had to decline many temptations like this one time when...", he told me.

"No, you don't have to tell me any details", I interrupted him.

At that he laughed and pulled me closer if that was even possible but I was really happy about the fact that he had saved himself for me even though he didn't know if I would accept him or if I even existed. I smiled to myself and buried my face in the crook of his neck. Suddenly Brian pulled me on top of him and put both of his hands on my back. At that I blushed again and buried my face deeper in his neck. His scent was intoxicating so I couldn't help myself to silently moan. That made Brian tense up.

"Please don't make these sounds, Angel, or else I won't be able to hold my inner beast back", he said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry. You just smell so nice, Brian", I whispered.

"You're torturing me right now, Jack", he moaned silently.

I slowly rolled off of him and laid next to him.

"Don't pull away from me", he whined.

"But I for my part would have ended up aroused and I don't think that I'm ready to mate with you yet. I'm sorry", I explained.

"You don't have to be sorry. I felt the same way but I still have to be close to you so the next time something like that happens you can just remind me that you're not ready but please don't ever pull away from me again, okay? There is still a part of me that thinks that you will reject me someday", he admitted.

"I would do anything for you and not just because you're my soul mate but because of the fact that I love you", I told him.

"I'm so glad that I have you as my mate, Jack", he said honestly. "But now I need a cold shower so I can cool off."

With that he stood up and went into the bathroom after grabbing some clothes from the dresser.

When I heard the shower turning on I felt myself starting to relax. So when Brian came out of the bathroom and into the bedroom I was already asleep.
