Forever and Always

Chapter 22: I love you

"Kitty? Kitty come on, you need to eat, you wont heal unless you do," I really didn't want to, Devin has been having this one sided argument with himself for the past week. I don't really wanna do anything. I still can't get it though my head that Kyle is back in my life, and on top of that on a mission to have me back, again.

"Kitty please," he pushed the food closer to me but I just rolled away from him. With a sigh, he kissed my shoulder and left the room, leaving me to my thoughts.

It's scaring me because I know how persistent Kyle can be. He isn't going to stop until Devin is dead and I'm his or I'm dead. Wait. Maybe I can fix this. Maybe I can make it so Kyle won't come after Devin anymore. Maybe, just maybe.

I moved the blanket from my deteriorating frame and slowly moved off the bed, my muscles protesting against me because of my long lack of movement. I grabbed the food tray Devin had left of the bed and carried it upstairs. I heard banging in the kitchen and knew instantly where I would find my Mate, he always seems to cook when he's stressed. Sitting at the small island in the kitchen, I watched him as he focused on whatever he was doing on the stove, not even noticing my presence, but I don't mind. Whatever he was cooking smelled amazing and, to my displeasure, my empty stomach announced my position at the table. He turned around startled and smiled once he saw me. "You're up, do you want something to eat?" after giving a simple nod he placed a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me.

"It looks good," sitting in front of me, he motioned for me to start eating. I giggled and ate slowly, letting my body get used to having food in it. It was good, Devin really did know how to cook, even though he doesn't eat any of it himself. Once I finished, he took the dishes and started cleaning.

While he had his back turned towards me, I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. Laying my head between his shoulder blades, I felt him sigh softly. "I missed you," his voice filled with emotion like I had been gone for months.

"I've been right here," I tightened my grip on his waist, trying to make him feel better.

"No.. No you haven't," he laid his wet hands on mine, but I didn't mind. It made me sad to know how much pain I put him though in such a small amount of time when I didn't even leave. It made me almost not want to go through with my plan. Almost.

I held onto him until he was done with the dishes, then we moved into the living room. Sitting on the couch, he opened his arms for me and I happily climbed into his lap. Curling up in his lap, Devin pulled a blanket over us and turned on the TV. He absentmindedly played with my tail while I comfortably snuggled into his chest. My plan can wait until later, right now I just want to be comfortable with my Mate.

I opened my eyes to Devin smiling down at me. He kissed my nose softly, "Good morning beautiful," just three simple words, but they made me so happy and so sad at the same time.

"It's morning already?" I asked trying to distract myself.

"Yep, you slept all day, you were so adorable, like always," his smile, so sweet and loving, was making it really hard for me to still even consider my plan. I had to do it soon or I'll never do it.

"Did you get any sleep at all? Or did you just sit here watching me sleep?" looking at him quizzically, he laughed softly.

"I slept some, but I love watching you sleep, you know that."

"I do," moving so that I was straddling his waist, I draped my arms around his neck. "Okay, you got me to eat and now you have to," there was a hardness that flashed in his eyes, a warning that this was not going to be an easy fight, but I have my ways.

"Kitty, you need your strength, I'm not going to take anything from you," he tightened his hold on my waist so that I was slightly pressed against him.

"I'm just going to get sick if you don't. I'm just going to keep worrying and that's not good for my health. Please Devin, you have to," he just simply ran his fingers through my hair.

"I'll take care of you, there isn't anything to worry about, and if you get sick I'll just take care of you more."

"How exactly are you going to take care of me when you start to be in pain because of the lack of blood? How are you going to take care of me when you're too weak to move? Did you think about that?" I glared at him, wanting to be angry, but failing miserably.

"I'll be fine, and I will never be too weak to take care of you," he thought he had it all covered, but he forgot one little detail. His worst fear.

"Maybe, but will you be strong enough to protect me?" I struck a nerve, I know I did. I felt terrible going down this road, but it had to be done. He simply looked down, not knowing what to say, how to counter the attack. His argument was fading, his reason to fight it was disappearing. Just the thought of not being able to protect me was making it hard for him to resist the urge to drink. But what he didn't know is that he wasn't going to be able to protect me for long.

"Devin.." I said softly, "Please," I punctured a hole in my neck and his eyes turned violet at the sent. Not able to fight the hungry beast inside, he clasped the back of my neck and brought his lips to the wound, licking the blood that had already traveled along my collarbone.

I felt him shiver in pleasure underneath me, "ready?" he growled in my ear. I simply tilted my head further to the side, giving him more room to sink his teeth into, and he did. A scream of sudden pain and pleasure ripped it's way past my lips. I felt my blood leave and pure pleasure take it's place, rushing through my veins at unbelievable speeds. His hands roamed over my back and ended on the collar of my shirt. He ripped it down the middle exposing me to him. I didn't really mind, it was his anyways. I wasn't wearing a bra so all that was left on my body was my underwear and his lips. Scraping his nails down my chest, he bit harder into my neck, causing a moan to escape me. The pleasure was intense, I wanted him so bad and I could tell he wanted me too as he flipped us over.

I whimpered sadly as he pulled his teeth out of my neck. "Don't worry," he whispered, "I'm not done," moving down my chest he licked and sucked at the spots where he broke my skin and continued to my navle. His tongue traced around my navel, it felt good and tickled at the same time and earned a soft half giggle half moan from me. He licked down my stomach to the hem of my underwear. He looked up at me silently asking for permission. I nodded and he ripped them off. Getting up off the couch he quickly took all of his cloths off. Sitting between my legs, he ran his eyes over my body. A blush crept its way over my features and he just smiled at me, "you're so beautiful." Leaning over me, he kissed me deeply and rubbed his erect member on my clit. I moaned into the kiss and arched my back.

"Do you want something?" he teased, lightly pushing against my entrance.

"Just fuck me already!!" I couldn't take it anymore, I needed him and I needed him now.

"As you wish," he shoved his cock deep inside me and I screamed from the sudden intrusion. Pulling out until only his tip was inside, he thrust back in hard and fast. The pleasure was only amplified when he sent back to my neck and ripped another few holes into the sensitive skin. In between the pure pleasure and loss of blood it was getting hard to stay awake, but I have to, I have to. He slammed into me as he drained my body of blood, I love this feeling, I will never forget this, I will miss it.

His thrusts became frantic and I knew he was reaching his climax. As his teeth dug deeper into my neck he exploded into me. I screamed from the increase in pleasure as he collapsed on top of me. I feel so tired, but I need to stay awake, I need to stay awake. Devin wrapped his arms around me and held me close, "I love you," he said sleepily.

"I love you too," I said for probably the last time. It didn't take long for his arms to become limp around my frame. I slowly moved from the comfortable position I was in, regretting it instantly. Quietly rushing down stairs, I found some decent clothes and packed a small bag. Going back up the stairs, I watched my beautiful Mate for a few minutes.

"I love you, more than anything, I'm so sorry," kissing his forehead gently, I walked out the front door.
