"Don't go," I pleaded to hold his hand.

"My emotions are high now and it's not good to stay in the same room," he sighed and when I opened my mouth to talk he shook his head, "Right now I want nothing more than devouring you, Eve. I'll hurt you and I can't bear the thought of it."

"If it's my blood you need then take it until the last drop if it's me then take me. I'm not made up of glass, Ruka. I was made for you and you for me, you don't have to worry about anything," I said getting closer to him, "I can't take it anymore, all your teasing," I said softly lowering my gaze to his chest.

I felt his hand snake around my waist to get me closer to him, my body touched him while he gazed at me with a burning passion in his eyes.

"I didn't know it was hurting you, I'm sorry my sweet Eve," he said holding my chin in his free hand and brought his lips on mine to kiss me, " Let me make it up to you."

He swept me off my feet and walked towards the bed carrying me in his strong arms. Putting me down on the bed he got on top, his body hovering above mine. I saw him raise one of his hand and snap his fingers, there was a soft click from the door. He had locked the room. He pulled his shirt up and threw it on the floor. No matter how many times the thoughts ran in my head, I couldn't believe this smart, strong and s.e.xy person was mine. I could feel my heart beating loudly, so loud that it felt like it would burst any moment.

"Are you scared, love?" he asked leaning towards me.

Even though the lights were switched off I could see him, the moonlight crept through the windows inside the room. I could see his defined abs and muscles flexing as his body moved closer to me.

"No," I shook my head. He supported his body by his forearms as he bent down to kiss my neck, "We haven't done it since a year so I feel a little anxious and..."

"And?" he prompted patiently as he inhaled my neck.

"A little excited," I blushed at what I said and he pulled back to look at me.

"You tell things without knowing the effect you have on me. I'm already aroused, love, don't provoke my inner beast any further," I heard him say as he traced his finger from the side of my face to my chest, just above the valley of my b.r.e.a.s.ts, "I'm sorry if I get a little too rough tonight," he said seriously.

He kissed me on my lips, it was slow and sensual in the beginning but as seconds passed by it turned hungrier and rough as Ruka had told. His tongue met mine, dominating and nudging it to get it out from the hot cavern of my mouth to meet his sleek tongue. My mind had gone to a universe of blissfulness. He made sure to keep his weight off my body as his hands found my waist, massaging my muscles and moving up to remove the top I wore. Soon after my shorts followed the top.

He looked at my white panties and looked impressed by the design I had picked but didn't comment anything about it. I didn't notice I was completely n.a.k.e.d until I felt Ruka's finger trace the curve of my b.r.e.a.s.t gently while his other hand traced my bottom. I took a sharp intake of breath when his hot mouth covered one of the n.i.p.p.l.es to suck and tug on it.

"Mmm..." I m.o.a.ned tangling my fingers in his hair. I could feel my heart feel lighter and lighter with every second, the feeling of euphoria sinking in my bones. He gave the same attention and love to my other mound, trailing kisses down my torso to my s.e.x. It was a love that consumed my mind and soul. His hands explored and ignited a fire deep within me.

My chest heaved up and down after two rounds of lovemaking. My eyes closed with my mouth parted slightly open as Ruka hummed making circles on my arm with his fingers.

"Are you alright?" he asked, getting up to check me.

"Yeah," I replied to him softly nodding my head still in a daze.

He leaned down to kiss me on my lips and I kissed him back as his hands rested on either side of my head.

"Ruka..." I said when his teeth bit my ear. I knew where this was heading. I felt exhausted. He was anything but gentle, his fingers had left light trails of nail marks while his mouth had teased, sucked and bitten my tender flesh leaving trails of his rough lovemaking.

"Just one more, love," he said kissing my neck as his fingers found it's way down my body.

An hour later...

"R-Ruka, I can't anymore," I tried saying as his tongue met my core. My body writhed with the pleasure he gave but I was too exhausted now and couldn't take another orgasm, "You told only one," I said catching my breath and looked at him.

"What can I say, I can't get enough of you," he grinned mischief in his eyes, "And I promised I would make it up to you."

He said once but instead, it went to thrice. My mind felt fuzzy and my body had a limit, unlike Ruka who had a good stamina. When he got up from the bed I looked at him confused to what he was up to and sat up. I saw him pick his shirt and walk back into the bed. Putting his shirt over my head and pulling it down, he kissed my nose tenderly with love nudging me back to lie down.

"Sleep, my sweet Eve," I heard him coo as I felt my eyelids grow heavy slowly. He pulled my back towards his chest and nestled his head in the crook of my neck.

The remaining two days we spent at home and going on a family picnic for a change. It felt good, to feel this carefree without having to worry about the note or the stones or my name written in blood. Something told me that my parents knew about our night during the first day of our stay. Dad had coughed when mom had brought up to say how cute Ruka and I looked cuddled in the bed when she came to collect the clothes for laundry. I believe dad had finally accepted the fact that I was no longer a little girl and was mated to a vampire-werewolf king.

After the three day vacation, I was in my class staring at my teacher but not listening which I did sometimes, she was talking about some stupid rocks. It was a bright and a sunny day which I liked, the rays of the sunlight beaming through the windows where I sat. I smiled feeling the heat and looked back towards the board.

My eyes were lazily scanning the room I looked at the shadow of my hand which led to me thinking about the shadows in the dark forest. While I was thinking about it something snapped in my head. I had heard a snap when Ruka and I were walking.

How could the shadow make a sound when it was floating just above the ground without legs? Unless the sound was made by someone else.
