The Vampire's Goddess- Book 1

Chapter 32

I awoke the following night in a panic to find that I was alone in bed and feared that she had left. "You need not fear my love" came her soft voice from the chair "I will not leave you again." She had been sitting in the chair watching the last rays of the sun through the window before it sank below the mountains.

Rising from the bed I headed toward the bathroom to freshen up. As I finished brushing my teeth I looked up to see Hathor standing in the doorway.

"Would you care for my company?" she asked undoing her Goddess attire which was now brown. I watched her garments fall to the floor and I felt myself growing.

Pulling her close I murmured in her ear "You need never ask if I wish for your company as I will forever crave it."

She looked up at me and smiled before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the shower where we made love again and again as the water ran over us.

We were now laying on the bed and I knew I had to ask her.

"How did you not know you were a Goddess centuries ago in Egypt Hathor?" I said rubbing her thigh gently.

"When we are in our true form we have all knowledge of who we are, what we are capable of and what we are destined to do. When we are born into mortal form it is almost as being born a blank sheet of papyrus as our God and Goddess selves lay mostly dormant but still guide us toward completing what we have been placed upon earth to do." She explained as she played with a strand of her straight long black hair.

"So why did you perish along with Ferus and Acerbus? Why could you not have stayed?" I asked.

"We are vulnerable until our mortal form recognizes and adjusts to the powers that come with being a God or Goddess. We both know that I was not fully trained though at the time we thought my powers to be witchcraft. My mortal form recognized that I was different from other beings but as we are not always gifted with a teacher I was left to figure things out for myself. The amount of power that was being channeled through the amulet was too much for my untrained mortal form to handle and as such my life was terminated. Even now I am vulnerable. Though the amulet has provided me with some of my powers there is still knowledge and powers that I must work to gain. Like all other earthly beings we must work to become skilled in our powers when in mortal form." She finished rubbing the amulet that hung around her neck.

"So what is your purpose?" I asked her kissing her on her forehead.

"So many questions." She said with a laugh. "As much as I would like to tell you I am unsure. All that I do know is that despite the many lives I have lived, I never fulfilled my purpose in being here but I am starting to think that its completion involves you." She said eyeing me closely.

We lay in silence holding one each other before she finally looked at me. "You need to feed my love. You look tired." She said looking at me with concern. She was right, fatigue was starting to catch up with me.

"Your right" I said rising. "I will grab some blood from the fridge."

"The hell you will!" she said snapping up into a sitting position. I looked at her confused.

"I may be the Goddess of love but I'll be dammed if drink the blood of anyone else!"

It dawned on me at her words. "Is my Goddess jealous?" I said returning to give her a passionate kiss.

"Yes, I am extremely jealous of what is mine." She said

"As am I my love." I said kissing her hand.

"Are you sure that's what you want me to do?" I asked.

"You will feed from me and me only!" she said in a final tone.

"Then may I?" I asked.

"You may." she said smiling with satisfaction while moving her hair to the side.

I sank my fangs into the softness of her neck and was met with blood that was sweet as the nectar from a flower. The power that flowed through me was unrivaled. I had never fed from a God before and it was an entirely new experience for me. She moaned softly as I ran my hands over the curves of her breast, my hands finding their way down between her thighs.

I had never fed and made love before and it took us to a whole different level of pleasure. It was simply indescribable.

An hour of lovemaking had passed and Hathor rolled off of me with contentment on her face. Looking down at her lovingly I was surprised to see that the blood that trickled from where I had feed was not the color of blood but rather was a clear golden color.

"No my love, as a Goddess my blood is not red but that is a story for another time." She said reading my thoughts

"Alesandro. You gotta come up for air man!" Certus' voice came.

"You have shitty timing you know that?" I responded

"Yep!"

"You are such a fucking smartass!" I shot back.

"Yes my ass is smart! Thank you!" he said jokingly.

"Alright! If you two old women are done arguing we will be down in a minute Certus. Please gather the family in Alesandro's office." Came Hathor's voice.

"What the he.." came the start of Certus' reply before she severed the connection as my head snapped to her in surprise.

"Goddess remember?" she said with an amused look on her face tapping her temple. "I can hear any communications that you have so long as you don't block them." She said. "Of course I can tear any blocks down if I choose but I will respect your privacy." She said giving me a "don't try me look". Damn that was sexy.

"Well I think we better go down. We have some explaining to do." I said helping her off the bed.

"Yes but we might want to dress more appropriately" she said "or else we're both going to need another shower." She said snapping her fingers. She was now in what I now considered to be her standard attire which was well hell a bra and skirt adorned in gold, gold sandals, and jewelry. Her attire was now purple and I looked down to find my standard of a black t-shirt, jeans and boots. This was going to take some getting used to. I had always been in charge but now the love of my existence could crush me with little to no effort.
