A Vampire's Life For a Human Girl

Chapter 27

Vincent caught me easily and gently rested my body on the ground. His eyes were wide with worry. He pressed his palms against my cheeks to bring my eyes level with his. "Hayley, are you okay? What's wrong?" he said shakily.

"Yeah, just a bit surprised."

"A bit surprised? You almost fainted, my girl, I thought I'd scared you to death."

"No I'm fine. Did you really say you loved me?"

"Are you going to faint again?"

"No."

"I love you."

I pulled his body into mine suddenly and kissed him passionately. My body exploded with pleasurable feelings that coursed through my viens like boiling lava. I began to feel butterflies in my stomach and it showed me the truth.

"I love you too," I whispered into his lips. "I love you so much."

"I believe I felt it for a while."

"Same," I grinned. "It just happened so fast I didn't believe it."

"Yeah...we've only known each other for a month."

"Vincent...in that month so much has happened. You broke me," his face fell, "you healed me. You protected me, you showed me things that I never wanted to known but needed to. But I love you, and through all that I realise that I'm ready for you. I'm ready for a future even if it's in secret. I'm ready fo you," I kissed him hard, "...in every way."

Vincent's eyes widened. "What? Really? Do you mean..."

"Sex, yes. I thought I had made it quite clear." My cheeks were burning bright red but I meant it. I loved him with all my heart and I told myself that when I loved someone that way I would give them everything.

Vincent looked over my body hungrilly feeling the intense desire I had for him. "I really want to, I really, really do...but we can't."

I froze and then sat up. "What?" I yelled. I felt rejected. 

"Don't think what you're thinking, Hayley. I love you and I want to have sex with you but we can't."

"Why? Please don't tell me you now have some human decency," I groaned. "The one day I want sec and you want to take it slow."

"It's not like that," he sighed gently rubbing my arms. "It's my father."

"And I'm turned off," I stated.'"He'll be able to smell it."

"But you had no trouble trying to get me into bed before," I wondered. "What's so different now?"

"He would know the difference between then and now. Before he would have know it was just sex-then maybe he would have tried to wed us but now...he suspects something. And if he wakes up tomorrow and we're mated he will force you to marry me and you will become a vampire-no excuses."

"But that's not fair! I have to ignore my labido because of your father-for the rest of my life!"

"No, just until we can convince him that there is nothing between us."

"But there is."

"Yes but he can't know that,"

I jumped to my feet and left the closet. "I hate it here. If only i had fucked you the first time I saw you maybe I wouldn't be here."

"Whoa, where did that come from?" Vincent follwed me.

"I just wanted to be normal. I would have even been happing being with you--a vampire--in my normal life. All of this is just complicated...it's shit!"
