The Immortal's Gift

Chapter 14: Acceptance

" I'm a vampire “, repeated in his head as the beautiful she devils pinned him with her now silver eyes and fangs showing. He was nervous but also slightly intrigued. He reached out to touch her face, eyes still going back and forth. " You were telling me the truth " he half smiled. She tilted her head and laughed. " Why of course I believe that honesty is key, remember? " He continued to observe her some more. Hands drifting down to her lips. He wanted to touch her fangs; he was so memorized by her. " Strange, and yet you’re so beautiful " Samuel whispered. She blinked quickly amazed that he was not attempting to flee. " You’re not afraid? " " No " he answered in a gentle voice still cupping her face. She back off him with her eyes slowly changing back to a beautiful sapphire. He sat up and leaned towards her. " Why me? I mean you are married, and he is king, so what is your fascination with me? " he questioned. " My world is far more different than yours. Super naturals like vampires, werewolves, hybrids, even witches and warlocks, Demon's as well even though they are soulless, we all have something in common. We have mates or as you mortals call then soulmates. " He looked at her taking in all the words she was saying. " So, is the king your mate? " " No King Nathaniel is not my mate, he merely is a means to keep our nations at peace " she grinned. He looked down thinking about the words she said. " Are you, Am I? " he paused. " Am I your mate? " He finished. Her gave lowered as she played with a flower petal in her hand. " Yes, Samuel you are. " her voice calms. " How can I be your mate when you were with someone else " " Nathaniel won't be a problem. " she assured. " But still what will your people think? " he questioned still confused. " They will think nothing, I am Queen and, in my world, even in the mortal realm it is normal for us royals to take a mistress or lover. " He zoned off with so many questions. Why was this place familiar? Why did she feel like home to him? Would he just only be her mate, or would it be something more? And why more than anything despite his morals did he want to claim her as his right here and now? 

" Do you have any further questions " she sighed. " What's it like? like what are the steps of becoming your mate? " This made Haven happy, she felt whole being next to him and the fact he was asking her about everything made her immortal heart feel warm and fuzzy. " I would claim you as mine, eventually you would make the decision to become immortal like me for it is forbidden to have any affiliations with mortals " Could he be a vampire? Would he be willing to turn? he stared at her as more questions arise in his mind. " How do you claim me? " he mumbled watching her as her pupils went dark. " I would bite you right here on your neck and it would leave a mark so no one would touch you or harm you in any way shape or form you would be mine for all eternity " she whispered seductively. He took a huge gulp as she moved closer to him. " I can smell that your nervous you know " she spoke low and soft. " What else do I smell like to you " he chuckled as his heart continue to feel as though it was going to rip out of his chest. " Apples, Cinnamon, and spice " she grinned. Suddenly that day in the market flickered at the back of his head. " That's why you said that " his face in shock. " Yes one way we are able to tell who our mates are is there smell, if and when you choose to turn I will have a unique smell to you as well " she continued touching his hair slowly moving her hand down his cheek. He observed her lips hungerly. He for some reason found himself wanting to touch her too. As she was touching his face, he reached for hers " Anymore questions " she rose a brow, finger twirling down to his neck as she listened to his heartbeat thump making her hum. 

" No " he spoke in an almost whisper. They continued to stare at one another in silence, enjoying the simple small touching here and there. " what would you do if I were to kiss you right now " She smiled " I would kiss you back " Their faces continued to move closer and closer to each other. He found her lips brushing up against his sending electricity through his veins. " C'est magnifique (So beautiful) " he murmured. Their lips became one and they began to move in pace with one another. He sucked in her bottom lip and pulled her further on top of him as she cupped his cheeks deepening the kiss. She began to nip and bite his lips trying to control her inner demon from taking over. She entered her tongue with his with permission and felt all the sparks throughout her body. " We have to stop " she pulled away panting. " Why " he spoke catching his breath. " I want to mark you and make you mine, but I believe I should give you some time and space to take it into consideration " she smiled. Her just looked at her and shook his head. " I don't think I would mind the marking, but I will need time before making such a rash decision of becoming an immortal " he whispered afraid to disappoint her. " I'm sorry " he continued. " For what my love " she spoke touching his face again. " I just don't want to hurt you " he smiled. " Samuel? " " Hmm" " You could never hurt me " her eyes filled with such hope as they continued the rest of their afternoon in the garden surrounded by purple Daises.
