I stand silently at the doorway as I watch Tyron work, sitting at his office desk as he goes through a pile of paperwork. He's been buried in it for the past three days since my ceremony, working late nights that would cause him to sleep late into the day...

Tonight I'm putting a stop to it.

He needs a break, and considering that tonight is a special occasion, I have the perfect plan to get him to take one. Walking in, I pause to knock on his door, a smirk curling my mouth.

"I think it's time for you to take a break Mon Chou..." I call softly, and I'm a bit disappointed when he doesn't look up from his work.

"I will in an hour love, I promise." He replies, and I quirk an eyebrow as my smirk deepens.

"I have a feeling you're going to want to take one now Beloved." I say, dropping my voice a little to get his attention.

"Why is tha-?" He starts, only to forget what he was saying as he looks up to see me, and I chuckle as his eyes turn a lustful black, my outfit working exactly as I planned it to. His eyes roam over my body thoroughly, taking in the dark blue silk and black lace of my spaghetti strap chemise, a deep rumbling sound coming from his chest as his gaze moves up from my bare legs to the deep v-neck of my outfit. As he finally meets my gaze, I notice that his canines are fully descended...just like my fangs.

"I've been saving this piece for a special occasion Beloved, what do you think of it?" I ask, batting my eyes playfully as I spin around for him slowly, and his desk groans as his hands tighten on the edge, him desperately trying to keep himself seated.

"It's gorgeous Darlin'...but what's the occasion?" He asks huskily, and I smile before flitting to him, sitting myself in front of him on the edge of the desk. He jumps in surprise at my sudden movement, and I shiver a bit as warmth practically cascades off of him.

"Well Beloved, it's officially midnight...so Happy Birthday." I answer, and his eyes widen in shock as they flick to the digital clock then back to me.

"Is it really?" He questions, and I chuckle. Just one more nudge.

"It is...so are you going to unwrap your present?" I murmur, and he jumps up out of his chair so fast it rolls back into bookcase with a loud thump. He skims his fingers slowly up and down my arms, his warmth seeping into my cool skin as he moves closer. I move my legs so that he can stand between them, and I shiver as his lips skim over my shoulder and press softly against the mark he left there, the sparks leaving a warm and tingly sensation where he touches me.

"Oh, goddess yes..." He purrs, and he presses his lips against mine in what starts off as soft kiss, then gradually gets deeper and more passionate as we continue. I open my mouth after he licks my lips, and we both groan as our tongues twist together. His large hands grab my legs to pull me impossibly closer, while mine tangle in his soft, dark brown hair.

We part after a few moments, both of us panting a bit as our foreheads press together. His eyes locked with mine, he slowly slides his hands up my thighs to my waist, his fingertips investigating the silk of my outfit.

"You have no idea how much I love seeing this color on you Darlin'." He whispers, his warm breath fanning across my face.

"I'm glad you like it Beloved, I picked it out with you in mind...this is your favorite color right?" I murmur back, and he purrs.

"Yes it is, I just don't want to mess up such lovely wrapping paper to get to my present."

"Don't worry about it Beau, I have two more like it just in case that happens." I reply, and he grins,"however, I can't say the same for your clothing if you don't remove it soon..." I continue as I trail a finger over the black fabric of his t-shirt, and a lowly growl rumbles from him as he pulls back just enough to yank it off and give me a perfect view of his sculpted chest...the sight of his perfect v-line and thin trail of hair disappearing beneath his jeans positively making me drool.

"Does that make you happy, love?" He chuckles as he catches me ogling his body, and I grin as I return to tracing down his chest, his muscles twitching beneath my touch. His scent of macarons is intoxicating at this point, I want nothing more than to finally feed off of him right now...but I need to be patient.

"Oh, most definitely Mon Chou, the only thing that could make me happier is if you took your pants off too..."

"So straight forward Darlin', I love it." He chuckles again, "But I think there is something else you want a little more right now, am I right?"

He brushes his thumb over my parted lips, and I shiver as he carefully strokes the the length of one of my fangs. Is it possible that he knows just how sensitive they are?

"I know you're thirsty Darlin', so why don't you feed first before we get to unwrapping?" He murmurs, and my thirst flares at his proposal, my fangs throbbing in response.

"Are you sure?" I question, my gaze going to his neck.

"Yes love, but first..." He suddenly grabs underneath my thighs and lifts me off the desk like I weigh nothing, and I squeak in surprise as I wrap my arms and legs around him,"let's take this somewhere more comfortable."

He totes me to our bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him as he walks to the bed, sitting down on it so that I now straddle his lap.

"Now, where were we?" He chuckles, and my eyes go back to the tanned skin of his neck.

"Go ahead love." He murmurs, and at that I lean down to begin pressing kisses there, investigating the area thoroughly for the best spot. His soft groans push me forward, and I switch to my tongue, teasingly licking the sensitive skin. His hips buck upwards between my legs, and I smile as I smell his arousal mixed in with his scent.

"I haven't even started feeding yet, and you're already this excited?" I whisper in his ear, gently nipping the lobe, and he growls lowly in response.

"Tease me while you can love, because once you're turn is over I'll be returning the favor." He rumbles, and I giggle as he shudders when nip his ear again.

"I look forward to it Mon Chou..." I murmur before going back to his neck, letting the tips of my fangs scrape gently over the skin until I find the spot halfway down that makes his hips buck again.

"This might pinch a bit love." I warn before I sink my fangs into him, and I close my eyes as he moans, his hands tightening on my hips as I take deep pulls of his blood. Dear Goddess, he tastes even better than he smells...

"Oh Goddess, Viola...." He moans, his body shuddering.

I murmur through our link, and as his hips buck again I can feel just how hard he's gotten. I don't rush though, I want to savor this...the sweetness of his blood and how it's warming up my body, the way he's calling my name, how his heart is pounding erratically because of me...

I love it.

Finally, after one last pull, I retract my fangs and lick the bite wound, closing it up as I clean it. As I finish, Tyron lifts his head from its resting place on my shoulder, his grip relaxing as I pull away. He gazes up at me in awe, his eyes darkening even more as he sees the remnants of his blood on my lips.

"That was incredible Viola..." He says huskily, watching me lick my lips, "Is it like that every time?"

"Mhmm, that's why feeding is reserved for mates...it's a very intimate experience that is usually followed by, or done during mating..." I purr, tracing over the mark on his shoulder. I lean down to kiss him, but I suddenly feel myself get flipped onto my back, my mischievous mate holding my legs as he looks down at me with hungry eyes.

"My turn Darlin', let's see if you taste as good as you smell..."

I yawn as I wake up, squinting my eyes against the sunlight pouring into the room through the windows. After my eyes adjust, I roll onto my side to see my gorgeous mate sleeping beside me, the thin sheet of the bed covering her naked body while her wild hair covers half of her face. Chuckling softly, I brush it back to look at her face fully...her rosy cheeks and parted lips making her look adorable as continues to sleep on her side.

She's mine, all mine...

Sighing in content, I pull my hand away, and as I do I notice the hickies I left on her neck, shoulder and collarbone...remnants of the fun we had last night. I look at my own body to see similar marks, as well as a few bite marks littering my torso. Looks like both of us have a thing for marking our territory...

The sound of my stomach growling interrupts my thoughts, and I smile as an idea comes to mind. Rolling out of bed as quietly as I can, I grab a pair of boxers from my dresser and pull them on before sneaking out the door and going down stairs to the kitchen, and I get to work as quietly as I can.

~~~~~~~

Thirty minutes later I come back upstairs holding a tray that contains a traditional French breakfast for two: two warm fluffy croissants, a jar of honey for Viola and grape jelly for me, a bowl of mixed fruits like strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and small slices of cantaloupe. For drinks I poured two cups of apple juice, and two cups of coffee, Donut Shop for me, and Caramel Creme for her. I even set a little vas full of purple irises up there, knowing how much she loves them.

Reaching the bedroom door, I push it open with a slight creak and peek in, happy to see she's still sleeping. I tiptoe into the room and carefully sit down next to her, a grin stretching across my face.

"Time to get up Darlin', it's nine o'clock..." I say softly, and her nose twitches before she rolls onto her back. "Viola, time to wake up baby..." I say a bit louder, stifling a laugh as her face scrunches up one more time before her eyes flutter open.

"Ty?" She murmurs sleepily, a small smile on her face as she sees me beside her.

"Good morning Darlin', sleep well?" I chuckle as she sits up in bed, covering her body with the sheet as her hair falls over her shoulders. So beautiful.

"Oh yes, what about you love?" She murmurs back, and I smile.

"I slept wonderfully, so good in fact that that I made us breakfast."

"Ty, it's your birthday...I should be the one making breakfast..." She sighs as she looks at the tray, her eyes sparkling with recognition.

"I know, but considering you gave me such a lovely present last night, I figured this was the best way to thank you." I murmur as I press a kiss to her temple, "I did some research, I hope I got everything right..."

"It looks perfect Beloved, thank you." She blushes, grabbing a strawberry and biting into it, "it seems my lessons have paid off." She giggles, and I smile as I eat with her.

After we polish off our meal, I set the tray down on the floor and pull her against me, my wolf purring as she presses kisses to my shoulder.

"Breakfast was delicious Mon Chou, we should do this more often." She sighs as her fingers draw idle patterns on my chest.

"Anytime you want sweetheart, I'd be happy to." I answer, and I suddenly find her hovering over me, her beautiful body completely exposed as she leans in closer, her fangs fully descended.

"However love, I'm still a little hungry..." She purrs, and I shiver under her hungry gaze.

"Are you thirsty again?" I ask, wondering just how often vampires need to feed, but she shakes her head.

"Not quite Birthday Boy, I've fed enough on your blood...now I want to know how the rest of you tastes..." She purrs as she trails a hand down my chest and stomach, but before I can say a word her hand dips inside my boxers and grabs hold of me...and that's all it takes for me to get excited again.

Oh dear Goddess....Happy Birthday to me...
