Aro's Mate

Chapter Three

We continue to walk back through the hallways that I came through with my family, we go into the elevator but he clicks a floor they didn't show us.

"All of our bedrooms are on this floor, though we don't really spend much time in them" we walk all the way to the end of the hallway and the whole time his arm is on the small of my back, he's almost always touching me, but for some reason I don't hate it.

"This one is mine" he motions to a door and opens it. We walk in and I gasp

"It's beautiful" I slowly look around the room, its themed around a dark crimson red and everything looks expensive, there is a huge window where you can see a gorgeous garden we walked through on the tour, but you can also see the entire city. I stand at the window and put my hand on it, looking out.

"Like the view?" he comes up behind me and puts his arm around me again, I tense up for a second and then relax.

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of it" I continue to look out the window and I can see out of the corner of my eye that Aro is just staring at me, I refuse to look over at him so I keep looking out. His body gets closer to mine and he pulls me closer to him, softly though, not aggressively. I'm standing up against his body as I look out the window, his body feels solid and unhuman, it's weird to not feel him breathing. He rubs my shoulder a bit and then looks at me again

"Would you like to watch the sunset? Its magnificent, but not as magnificent as you" he pushes my hair out of my face and I can't help but blush, I nod my head and he takes my hand. He leads me to a different window where you can see the coast and the sun starting to set onto the horizon. We take a seat on a couch facing the window and he sits super close to me, putting his arm around me. I relax into him holding me, it feels natural being next to him, like I've known him all my life. I've never felt like this with anyone I've dated in the past and I honestly love this feeling. But every time I feel comfortable with him another wave of uneasiness sets over me when I think about becoming a vampire. My thoughts are interrupted when Aro speaks up

"Look il mio amore, it's starting to set" I look back up, I didn't even realize I was looking down.

"Wow" is all I can say and a smile spreads across my face. The sky is all kinds of pinks and oranges, it's the most amazing sunset I have ever seen.

"Your smile, is something I will never get used to, la mia principessa" he puts a finger under my chin making me face him and I'm having a hard time looking into his red eyes but I do anyways.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you" he says and then plants a soft kiss on each cheek. I flinch when he does and turn back to watch the sunset. He squeezes my shoulder

"Amelia, please let me know if anything I do makes you uncomfortable, I want you to be happy and to move at your pace, okay?" I look back over to him and simply nod my head and give him a light smile before turning back to watch the last of the sun before it disappears below the horizon. I think of his words over and over in my head. He is so incredible, he's soft and nice and truly seems to care about me, am I actually falling for him? My family died only a few hours ago and somehow he has caused me to have only him on my mind, I'm starting to think this mate thing is real. I continue to think and naturally I lean over, laying my head on his shoulder. He kisses my head and then leans his head onto my head as he rubs my shoulder. I am so comfortable in this moment that I find myself drifting off, and before I know it I'm asleep, leaning on the man that I'm supposed to be with for the rest of my life.

Hey sorry for the short chapter! I've been studying for finals! Once they are over (next week) I will have WAY more time and I promise they will be better, thanks again for reading! XX
