Chapter 5

I was awoken from the best sleep I have had since before I first turned by an immense pleasure between my legs.

My eyes flew open and shot a look straight down between my legs, to see the man I had thought just a few minutes earlier was a dream.

Dario.

“Oh my…” I couldn’t finish my sentence before a rush of electric orgasmic pleasure shot throughout my whole body, making me arch my back in an almost painful curve.

Dario’s continued his actions, before cleaning the proof of my actions off with his lovingly lapping tongue.
All the time whilst watching me.

“Yum, morning, my love. You taste really good,” He smiled moving until he was hovering over me, whilst licking his lips.

He kissed my lips deeply, our tongues soon entered each other mouths and danced together.

Whilst doing this Dario’s hand stroked softly down my arm, while my arms wrapped themselves around his body.
My fingers running over every inch of his back, taking in each detail of every muscle.

Pulling away after sometime, he rested his forehead against mine, looking into my eyes.

“I am so happy I finally found you, my beloved,” His words and eyes shone with so much love.

“I am happy too. Even though I never knew about ‘beloved’ ones or soul mates or whatever it’s called before last night. I couldn’t think of being or leaving your side ever,” I paused and tried to study his expression before continuing.

“I mean, I don’t want to come on too strong, but I just feel like you are my other half and…” My words were cut off my Dario placing his lips to mine.

Pulling back, he began running his fingers down my cheek, “Marie… My love…” His smile brightly, “I feel the same. I want you too never leave my house… Our home,” He corrected himself. “I have been looking for you from a long time and I am proud you accepted me, flaws and all.”

I gave him a dark look. “Dario,” I growl. “You are thee most perfect man I have ever met and if you insist on putting yourself down then I will punish you,” I half glare, half smirk.

Dario gets a dark lustful look in his eyes. “And how do you think you will do that, little girl?” He teases me.
I flip us over so I was now sat on top of him.

His expression was priceless, I mixture of shock and mischievous.

“You seem to have forgotten, my dear mate, that I am a special type of vampire,” I grin successfully.

I saw a flash in his eyes of remembrance. “Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that,” He said leaned up and kissing my nose.

“Maybe you can show me some of those things later, but now, my love I would like to know how it happened?” He asked laying me on my side next to him.

Laying so we were facing each other I began to explain how it first happened.

“Well, it happen only about ten years ago. I had been out with my friends celebrating my twenty first birthday and drinking. But I hadn’t been feel a hundred percent for a few days before that and the alcohol wasn’t helping any.

“So after only a couple of hours I decided it was time to head home.
I was at college, but home for the holidays for a couple of weeks. When I got home my parents greeted me and asked if I wanted any dinner, but I just wanted to hit the sack, so I said no, thanks.

“When I got into my room I did my normal routine shower and dress for bed. But as soon as I laid down on my bed I felt like I was dying, Which I guess now I think about it I pretty much was. My whole chest and heart felt as though someone was clutching it in their hands and squeezing it.

“I somehow managed to get from my bed to the intercom on my wall and call for my parents. After that pain erupted in my face and mouth, it felt like fire.

“I stopped feeling my heart. My mother stepped in the room almost straight after followed by my father.
Both began to pain when they saw how pale I had become and my mother got on the phone to call an ambulance. My father over to me and …” My voice broke as tears filled my eyes remembering.

“I didn’t mean too. I didn’t want too. It was like someone else had control of me,” I said in tears.

“Shh, my love. You don’t have to continue if you don’t want too,” Dario cooed pulling me further into his embrace and placing kisses all over my face.

After a few minutes I felt I was calm enough to continue.

“I tore his throat out and when my mother came to check on us a few seconds later I did the same to her,” I confessed.

My sobs became harder and I broke down into the arms of my mate.

“I’m sorry, love. I wish I could have known you before and then maybe…” Dario held me tight as if trying to take my pain.

“It’s not your fault. It probably would have happened either way,” I started to say back, hearing the sadness I was making him feel in his voice.

“After that I ran around the country in a mess trying to work out what was happening to me. I noticed pretty quickly after working out the whole vampire thing that I wasn’t normal.
After only a few hours after turning my skin started to return to its original color. I would feel the beat of my heart once every now and then.
I would have a suffocating need to breathe every five or ten minutes, but I didn’t need any more than that.
I can walk in the sun for a short time, but not for too longer or I blister. Like a normal vampire I stopped aging and still need blood to keep me alive. I tried to go without once, but that didn’t end well,” I explained to him.

“Wow,” He said with a faraway look in his eyes.

I knew it would be hard for him to accept, so I decided to make it easy for him.

“I understand if you don’t want me anymore,” I look down so not to cry. It was fast but despite everything I said in the past, I have actually grown to care for him a lot. “I mean I know I am a freak. I don’t really even know what I am…”

Dario cuts me off, bringing up my face to his with his fingers.
He looked deep into my eyes and says, “Marie, You are not a freak. Yes, you are unique, but you are mine and I love you.” He places a long sweet lingering kiss on my lips, before pulling away.

“My parents are old and know a lot about these things. We will visit them and see what we can find out,” He said smiling.

“Your parents are vampires too?” I asked surprised.

“Yes, my love. I as was they born vampire.”

My eyes widened, “Really? I didn’t know vampires could have babies,” I said lowly, but Dario heard me and smiled.

“Yes, we can and we will,” He grinned seeing my expression.

My mouth fell open, shocked by his announcement.

“W…we are?” I stuttered.

He continued to grin and cupped my face.

“Yes, we will my love. I have waited for you for a long time and before you say anything I don’t care what you are. Now that you have accepted our bond and we have completed the mating I am not going to give you a chance to change your mind.
I want us to have a family and I want you to marry me?” He looked at me, his eyes full of love.

“But we have only just got together?” I exclaimed.

“Shhh, love, I am only playing…. Somewhat,” He said the last part quietly but I still heard him.

I gave him an unsure look and he began to brush my hair with his fingers.

“What I mean is I do want them things but I will wait until you are ready for them.” He kissed my forehead.

“After all, we have eternity for them babies. But I really do want you to marry me. The sooner the better,” He confessed.

A knock at the door interrupted us.

“Who is it?” Dario called sounding annoyed.

A male’s voice called through the door. “Sorry if I woke you, but someone is downstairs asking for you.”

Dario growled in frustration. “Who is it?”

“Magnus,” Was the only thing he said.

“OK, I…” He looks at me and smiles, “…We will be down in about half an hour.”

“We?” The man said more to himself by the sounds of his tone, but Dario still answered.

“Yes and if he gets impatient tell him I said tough,” Dario spoke never once removing his eyes from mine.

The man grunted and seen to disappeared.

“Half an hour?” I question.
“What you going to do with all that time?” I said with a smirk.

“Well, I was thinking…” He kissed my neck.
“We could have a shower and wash each other inside and out,” He said returning the smirk.

“Sounds like a good idea,” I say seductively.
In a flash he is up off the bed and picking me up, carrying me into the bathroom.

Once in there I thoroughly cleaned his rock hard erection with my mouth and drank its nectar.
As he did less than an hour before he again caressed and pounded my core with his strangely long tongue.
We also made love again.

When we were done, we both cleaned each other and Dario even towel dried my hair and body.
It was so sweet I couldn’t help but grin at him, a grin which he returned.

“I can’t believe that this time yesterday I was thinking of killing you” I admit.
He looks at me surprised but still smiling, “And why is that?” he sounded amused.

“You just annoyed me, no real reason,” I say nonchalantly making him laugh.

“But I have got to admit…” I wrap my arms around his now dry, but still bare torso. “I am glad I didn’t.”

He leans down and kissed my forehead. “As am I. I can’t wait to spend to rest of our lives together,” He kisses me again.

“I have waited for you for so long.”
I know for too many people it might sound rushed that he is speaking this way, but to me it doesn’t.
He makes me feel strangely complete.

I was standing with my head resting on his chest.
I didn’t realize how long I had been quiet until Dario spoke.

“I know you might not feel the same yet, but…” His voice sound sad.
