The Immortal's Gift

Chapter 17: Sweet little thing

" So how long is the queen staying mate " Nik rose a brow. " Only for a few more days Nicklaus " he chuckled. " So how are things with Emily " " They are swell " he smiled. " So, I assume you know now " Nik smiled suspiciously. " Know what " he smirked. " Wait, you knew this whole time and didn't say anything " Nicklaus began to chuckle. "It wasn't my place to say but seeing as you know now maybe you'll be more comfortable with my little secret " he chimed. " Jesus bloody Christ and what would that be " Samuel's eyes widened. " Let me guess you’re a f*****g leprechaun " he laughed. Nicklaus chuckled " No dear friend I'm a warlock " At first Samuel laughed " Your joking right " But the awkward silence became a little too uncomfortable to bare. 

Nik spoke in some foreign language lighting the fire to the kitchen stove. Sam didn't move or say anything " That's it I'm going to go  ugh that way " " Oh come on it's still me your best friend since we were four now quit being a scared little s**t " Nik spoke grabbing Sam's collar to keep him from running, " Good afternoon boys " Emily smiled interrupting them " Smells lovely in here " Haven spoke coming around from Emily. " What appears to be going on in here " she questioned observing Nik's hand which was still on Sam's collar. " Ugh, uh nothing " Nik chuckled awkwardly " yea nothing at all I just need to go to the shop " Samuel spoke quickly as he scurried out of the kitchen. 

" What on earth did you do to my mate " Haven furrowed her brows. " Well, " He spoke scratching his head " I may have told him I am a warlock " he smiled sheepishly, Emily just shook her head not saying a word as she began to help chop vegetables. " Really Nik he just found out about super naturals are you trying to give him a heart attack " Haven scolded storming off to find her mate. " She is right you know; you could have waited for the Vampire information to settle in first " " I know but I didn't want to keep lying to him " his tone low. " It's alright, what's done is done Now fetch me a pot so we can start this stew " she smiled. " Anything for you my love " he whispered pecking her on her cheek. 

*KNOCK KNOCK* " Samuel" Haven spoke low stepping into the forage. He looked up at her and took a deep breathe. " I promise I'm alright " he smiled " Are you sure, I mean finding out your best friend since childhood isn't an ordinary human being can be a little well " she stopped with a concern look on her face, " I can't be upset or mad " he spoke calmly " I understand there is a reason why mortal's don't know " he continued with a sigh. " I just guess this is the new normal and it's going to take me some time to get used to things like my best friend can create fire by spewing a few foreign words that make zero sense and you " he paused looking at her not finishing what he was going to say. Instead he started to meld the tip of the sword he was working on. " Your very talented " she spoke looking around trying to change the subject. " Did you teach yourself or is it something you remember from your childhood? " she asked genuine and curious.  " I learned it in one of the many foster homes I stayed in, my foster father was a black smith and I guess you can say I spent a great deal of time with him. " he smiled " That family was one of the nicer families " his tone turned sad. Haven placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled " It's ok you don't have to speak about things like that if they make you uncomfortable " His eyes connected with hers and for a moment it was completely still. He tilted his head to the side examining her posture and most of all her lips. 

" If I kissed you right now " he whispered, " Would you stop me " She blinked and said nothing, but her cheeks engulfed in a bright rosy color. He moved from behind the stand where he was working on the stone at and took two steps towards her. " C'est magnifique " (So beautiful) he whispered brushing a strand of her red curly locks behind her ear. Her breathing went heavy the closer he got she could only smell his sweet scent of Apples, Cinnamon, and Spice. It was almost too much but this did not stop her from watching as he got closer to her lips. He began to brush his lips against hers softly before forming a deeper more sensual kiss. She moaned into his lips feeling the sudden connection with her mate for the first time sent chills and electrical currents throughout her entire body. She pulled away " Samuel " she whispered her fangs now showing. He said nothing and continued to touch her face and began to kiss her more and more. His heart was thudding loudly against his chest and he wanted to do so much more with her then this. He finally got a hold of himself pulling away from her. " I'm I- " he stuttered " No need to be sorry " she spoke cheeks flushed biting her lip. " I should be sorry, I almost " her words and eyes travelling elsewhere. " You almost marked me? " " Yes " she whispered. " Your touch, your smell, everything about you is enough to make me go crazy, I felt like I was in a haze just tasting your lips " he watched as her whole body quivered. Samuel stepped towards her and reached his hand out to her. She looked up observing him " I just don't to do anything until I know for sure what it is you want " she smiled. " It's completely ok love , Now shall we go eat this dinner our friends are cooking for us " he chuckled and she began to giggle with him " One can only hope your friend Nik didn't poison the food " " I don't think it's poison we have to worry about " he laughed. " Poor soul can't cook anything without it being still raw " " Well at least Emily is there to guide him " she beamed as they continued their peaceful walk back to the house.
