Fait

We kiss.

we both pull back...

"should we do this now? " Devin asked

" I don't know... if my dreams are right you want this as much as I do."

"I do. so why are we both resisting?"

"Perhaps the time isn't right." I respond thinking about the dreams. Most the dreams are after I'm marked.

"Perhaps you are right. So what should we do with our time?"

"can you fight? "

"more or less"

"can you teach me?"

"I can try, come with me." he's holding out his hand to help me up. He is so handsome. He is so tall. His eyes are so soft and warm. "perhaps we should do something more intimate? if you keep looking at me like that, your going to make it hard on me. Are you testing me?" he smiles his cute smile.

"maybe I'm testing you." thought if you read my mind you know I'm totally not.

I take his hand and fallow him quickly though his home.

"are your parents here?" I ask as we walk through empty halls.

"this is my house. They don't live here."

"why such a big home for just you? "

"it was my father's first home, and his father's first home. it's a family tradition to pass this home on to the first born son."

"does your family get along?"

"my father's side is amazing my mother's side I don't know. She died giving birth to me."

"I'm so sorry."

"so why so curious about my blood line?"

"well you are more then 2 different types of things. A shifter, witch, and vampire. Am I right? "

"maybe what does it matter to you?" he said in a sexy curious tone

"What does that make you?"

"unique" he laughed.

"well my unique family hates each other so much I've never met them. "

"sorry."

"no it's fine, sounds like you have people who care about you. That's good, I have my mom and dad but that's it. "

"I see."

"my moms family is dead as far as I know. As for my father's side of the family they would be happy with me dead. "

"home sweet home. " he chuckled, making me smile. that was my happy go lucky life before school.

"so where are you taking me? "

"we are almost there just wait."

"okay I'll wait, but do you still need to be holding my hand? "

"no I don't need to I want to, is it bothering you?"

"not at all" I hold his hand a little tighter for a second.

" tada!!" he opened the door to a home gym.

"wow"

"I can teach you fighting here."

"cool."

"but first let's get you breakfast."

"yay I'm starving."

"oh was my blood not satisfying." he jokes

"it was the most satisfying thing I've ever had but that was yesterday. I need food." I smile answering honestly as if I didn't know he was joking.

"oh and as much as I love seeing you in my shirt, it's time you put your clothing on."

We spend a very long week together. He teaches me to fight a little but warns me I won't be able to do much more then defined myself. His family doesn't celebrate the holidays so we were mostly alone. Devin has a cook and a maid that live in the home but I only saw them during miles. Devin insisted that we all eat together.

There were so times where kissing was tempting but we resisted. I'm not sure why we resisted but we did.

Like when he had me pinned down after a quick spar.

When looking over his shoulder at his art work and realizing how close our faces were.

I asked to share his bed every night. I just really don't feel comfortable alone.

I feel like we got closer every night.

He makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

I am not to familiar with the customs of courting in this country, or in the realm of supernatural beings. However since I'm here I might as well give it a go. I mean we both like each other but how do we make it officially temporary. It's not like I'm asking for his hand in marriage or a permanent life long mark. Just a way of saying as of right now I only want you.

The humans have it easy this is my last night with him. I need to find a way to ask.

As we lay down for bed I finally work up enough courage to have this conversation.

"Devin, I grow up in a human world with my only real description of relationships from books and TV. "

"Yeah"

"Well I don't know how this works." I'm setting up on the bed as he lays across the cover. He is holding his head up looking at me with a smirk he knows exactly what I want to say but he's going to make me say it.

"How what works my Dear Marie. Enlighten me. " he said clearly joking.

"I trust you... I like you... I'm comfortable being here with you like this... but I want you."

"mmm you want me do you" he leans closer to me placing his hand on mind.

"yes, but not just for tonight. I want us to be a thing."

"you want to be my girlfriend?"

"yes, and I want to in whatever way we should do that in the supernatural world were in too."

"What are you saying exactly? " he kisses my hand lifting it to his lips.

"I want everyone to know that I'm yours and your mine." I know I'm bright red I can feel the heat on my cheeks.

"Who said I wanted to be yours?" he almost sounds serious.

"...Do you?.."

"do I what?" he laughed, trying to keep a straight face.

"do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"Yes! I do. However do you really want me to leave a temporary mark on you?"

I take a deep breath I'm still not sure exactly what I'm getting into.

"Yes. How do we do it?"

"Witcher's do a spell that involves cutting and candles. It takes about a day. Werewolves have to wait for a full moon. Then there is a blood ritual. Shifters have to be in there form, then pretty much do what the witches do. Vampires have it the easiest, they feed off each other while thinking about the marking it's self. The mark appears were the bite takes place."

"Ok well it's not a full moon and if I'm going to bleed I prefer a bite. What about you?"

"The Vampire way it is then." he smiled his eyes turning red.

Red eyes and sharp teeth we kiss, before he takes my wrist and moves it to his mouth. I copy his movements. He is shaking, he must be nurves. He is stalling he kisses my wrist holding my hand. I'll go first. I've had your blood before. Don't be nervous, there is no way you could take to much if I'm taking your too. I think to my self as I bite his wrist. I close my eyes as he bites my wrist. It burns. I focus on the mark the temporary mark like ropes binding us together. The red threads dancing around each other twisting around both our wrist. It burns a lot. Its not the bite it's the rest of my wrist. I stay focused. After about 5 minutes the burning stopped. I open my eyes to see Devin still biting my wrist. it worked. I can see the marking under his hand. I look at his wrist. I did it. I'm so excited. It worked. Your mine!... I lick the blood from his wrist, I kiss up his arm to his neck he lets go of my wrist and turns to me. Pushing me away just a little.

"it's done we don't have to do anything else." Devin said out of breath.

"I am a woman, you are a man. What we do next are our personal desires. Not a sign for the world. Just a personal display of affection."

"When did you start sounding so grown-up?"

"I have more confidence now seeing how much you care about me. Would you be happy if I said I wanted to have fun with you before bed?" I say taking my shirt off. I lay next to him in just my underwear. I lick my wrist that's still bleeding some. I smile at him and continue. "If your not ready I can wait. you already gave me this." referring to the large mark going around my wrist and forearm. I lick it again as to not waist any blood.
