Vampire Born

Cabin

I wake up the next morning feeling alive and refreshed.  I turn over to stretch and bump into something solid.  That’s right.  Last night I married and saved the life of the man I truly love.  Marius lay perfectly still next to me.  I quietly get up out of bed and go into the bathroom.  I brush my teeth remembering what all took place last night.  As I’m remembering after the party, my fangs elongate.  ‘Great!’  I think sarcastically.  I cover my mouth with the towel just as Marius appears in the mirror.

“What’s wrong?”  He asks concerned.  I move the towel.

“Nothing.”  I say, but my fangs tell something else.

“Thinking of last night?”  He smiles coyly.

“Maybe.”  I smile back teasingly.  “Wouldn’t you be thinking about it if it were your first time?”

“I am thinking about it.  All of it.  The wedding and the after party.”  He smiles a huge grin and I can see his fangs are elongated as well.  I smile and reach up on my tiptoes and kiss him.  I snake my tongue out to feel his fangs.  I sigh into the kiss at the feel of them.  I break the kiss and lean my head against his chest.

“I have to get ready to say goodbye to everyone.”  I say.

“I know.  And I have to get ready to surprise everyone.”  He says.  I start thinking about my mother and what she’ll think.  “It’s going to be fine.”  Marius says with that uncanny way he has of reading my mind.

“I’m sure you’re right.”  I say.  I release my hold of him and go into my bedroom.  I get dressed in a long black skirt and a black blouse.

“Black looks good on you, but it’s not what you should wear today.”  Marius says from the doorway of my bathroom.

“Then what should I wear, sir?”  I ask emphasizing the sir.  He gives me a look like ‘Really?!’  I grin and shrug.  He walks into my closet and pulls a shirt from my rack.  It’s my blue v-neck tank top that scoops in the back and has a silver necklace attached to it.  “You don’t think it’s a bit flashy?”

“It shows your curves very nicely and today is a day for celebration too.”  He says with an alluring smile.  I take the shirt from him with a smile.

“Help me change shirts?”  I ask with an alluring smile back at him.  His eyes go wide, but then he smiles and steps toward me.  He slowly unbuttons my blouse never taking his eyes off mine.  He caresses my shoulders then bends down and kisses each one.  As he slowly removes one sleeve, he trails kisses down that arm.  He repeats the process on my other arm.  He takes the shirt from my hands and gracefully slides it over my head.  Then he turns me around and takes my hair in his hand.  I feel him braiding it.  He ties it off then wraps it around into a bun and pins it in place.  “Better?”  I ask with a knowing smile.

“Gorgeous!”  He exclaims turning me around and planting a kiss on my lips.  “Now I have to go get ready.  This will be hard.”

“Why do you say that?”

“For anyone to look as good as you do, my love, is a hard venture.”

“Keep talking like that and neither of us will make it downstairs.”  I say with a teasing smile.

“Is that a promise?”  He asks teasingly back.  I push him away.

“Go get ready.”  I say with a chuckle.

“Yes, ma’am.”  He says with a slump.  He gives me one more kiss then leaves my bedroom in nothing but his boxers.

While Marius gets ready, I make my way downstairs.  Everyone is already down there and enjoying a glass of blood before they depart.  The only people not leaving are the ones who live here and my parents.  I make my way through the crowd saying goodbye to everyone.  Suddenly a hush falls over the crowd.  I look and see Marius coming down the stairs.

“Good morning everyone.”  He says in his business tone.  Whispers start all around me.  My mother and stepfather come over to me.

“How is this possible?”  Mom says.  “He isn’t mated.”  She adds in shock.  Marius makes his way through the crowd saying goodbye to everyone.  People try to stop him and ask questions, but he just keeps moving through the crowd.  He finally makes it to me and my parents.

“Morning, Marius.”  I say.

“Morning, Dahlia.”  He smiles.

“How are you still with us, sir?”  My mother asks getting right to the point.

“Mother!”  I exclaim.

“I’m sorry, Dahlia, but this is not possible.  He’s not mated.  He should have turned to ash.”

“Oh, but I am mated.”  Marius says.  Gasps fill the room.

“Dahlia, did you know about this?  Is this why you weren’t in regulation clothing last night?  Because you knew he has a mate?”

“I was not in regulation attire last night because he has a mate.”  I reply.

“Have you met her?”  My mother asks.

“Of course I have.”  I say.

“Is she here right now?”

“Yes.”

“I demand to meet her!”

“You already know her.”

“Rose?!”  She says shocked.

“No.”

“Then who?”

“Sweetheart, don’t torment her any longer.  Just be up front.”  Marius says giving me a smile.

“Oh fine.”

“Wait!  Sweetheart?!”  Mom says angrily.  “You?!  Dahlia, no!”

“Yes, Mom.  I’m his mate.  As of last night.”  With that, my mother slaps me across the face.

“How could you?!  After everything he’s put me, us, through?”

“What has he put you through?  He never mistreated or hurt you.  He’s never been anything but gentle to you.  It’s your fault Logan always stayed away, not Marius’s.  And if you can’t handle my decision, you can get out.”

“You can’t throw me out.  And how dare you say it’s my fault.”

“It was your fault.  And I can to.  Once I mated with Marius, this house became mine too.  Mother, Vivian, you are no longer welcome here.”  I say with force.  With that a magical force carries my mother through the crowd and out the door.  She tries to get back in but is shocked instead by an invisible force that keeps vampires out of homes they haven’t been welcomed into.  “Logan, as long as you don’t feel the same, you are still welcome here.”  I say.

“I think what you did is amazing.  You followed your heart.  I’m proud of you, Dahlia.”  Logan says with a smile.

“Thank you…Dad.”  I say.  Logan gives me a hug and leaves taking my very pissed off mother with him.

The rest of the guests begin to leave then offering us congratulations on their way.  Once everyone is gone, Marius and I go to our rooms to pack for our honeymoon.  He’s at least told me to pack for a month.  Good thing I have plenty of sexy lingerie for that time frame.  As I’m zipping up my suitcase, I sense I’m not alone.  I turn around and see Marius standing in the doorway.  From where I’m standing, his eyes look stormy.  His shirt is hanging loosely at his waist and his hands are in his pockets.  Damn does he look sexy.  He must have read my facial expressions because he enters the room and closes the door.  I toss my suitcase on the floor and prepare for more hot and steamy s*x with my sexy husband.  My fangs elongate just thinking about it.  Marius seems to stalk towards me like I’m prey.  When he reaches me, he pulls me into his arms and passionately plants his lips on mine.  The kiss is almost possessive.  It’s intoxicating.  He pulls away.

“What you did down there was powerful and sexy!”  He exclaims.  He possesses my mouth again in a very passionate yet possessive way.  My fingers find the buttons on his shirt and start undoing them one by one ever so slowly.  I slide his shirt off his shoulders and run my hands along his bare chest.  Marius runs his hands along the bottom of my shirt then breaks the kiss to swiftly remove my shirts.  As soon as my shirt is off, his lips are back on mine.  I try to undo his pants, but Marius stops me by pinning hands behind my back which causes my back to arch.  Our chests connect and I want desperately to feel his chest bare against my bare chest, but my bra prevents that.  With his uncanny way of reading my mind, Marius releases my hands with one hand and expertly undoes my bra on handed.  He removes it quickly, releasing my hands so as to remove my bra, but then grabs my wrists again and thrusts them just right so my chest thrusts forward more.  The feeling is extraordinary.  He releases my wrists and breaks the kiss.  He slides his lips down along my jaw and nips just below my ear.  I sigh and tilt my head so he has better access. I feel him smiling on my neck.  He grazes his fangs along my neck and I recall last night when he bit into me while we were in the midst of going.  It was sensational.  However, he doesn’t sink his fangs in but rather continues to travel down to my chest.  His fangs graze across my n****e and it causes me to groan very loudly.  I feel him smiling on my breast.  He repeats the process on the other n****e.  My head falls back on my shoulders.  He trails kisses down my abdomen then nips along the hem of my skirt.  He slides my skirt and underwear down my legs kissing my legs as he goes.  Marius settles on his knees before me and wraps his hands around my waist.  He keeps me still as I try to move closer to his lips which are basically right there at my apex.

“Marius, please.”  I groan out.

“Patience, my love.”  He says and I can tell he’s smiling.  He keeps his hold on my waist and gently blows on my apex.  I squirm but his hands hold me firm.  He finally puts his mouth fully on my apex and tastes me with his tongue.  The feeling is great and I moan out my pleasure.  He increases the sensation by inserting his finger into my wet folds with his mouth still tasting me.  He starts a slow tempo of sliding his finger in and out and I feel myself start to lose control.  That same sensation from last night starts building and Marius picks up the pace with his finger.  His mouth moves away and I feel him blow his cool breath on me.  Once again, my head rolls back on my shoulders.  Marius flicks his finger within me and I scream out my pleasure and start trembling.  Before I know it, Marius has shed his bottoms and is standing.  He passionately possesses my mouth and walks us toward the bed at the same time.  My knees his and I fall onto the bed.

“Scoot back.”  Marius says seductively.  I obey even though I want to pleasure him the way he just pleasured me.  Still standing at the end of the bed, Marius spreads my legs apart.  He then crawls onto the bed like he’s a lion stalking his prey.  He settles on top of me and captures my bottom lip between his.  He releases my lip and moves to my breast.  He nips at it, but then I feel him poised at my entrance and I hope he’ll bite into me as he plunges into me like he did last night.  Just as I hope for this, he plunges into me at the same time clamping down fully on my breast.  The feeling is very intoxicating and it forces me to close my eyes in euphoric ecstasy.  He keeps his fangs in me as he starts a rhythm of sliding in and out of me.  After a few thrusts, he releases my breast and rolls us over so I’m on top.

“Move, baby.”  He says with a devilish smile.  I begin to move, slowly at first and it elicits a satisfied groan from my husband.  “You need to feed too.” He says pointing to his neck.  I momentarily lose control as I get excited at the thought of drinking from him.  “Easy, love, or you’ll unman me.”

“Sorry.”  I smile apologetically.  He smiles devilishly back and points to his neck again.  I continue to move but lean down and hover above his neck.  I plant a kiss on his neck which causes him to growl in anticipation.  Then I bare my fangs and clamp down on his neck.  If I though feeding from him before was blissful, this is absolutely euphoric.  Him feeding from me is euphoric, but feeding from him now that we’re mated is the greatest feeling in the world.  Well aside from the wonderful s*x.  He grips my waist and helps me to move while I continue to drink from him.  After a minute or two, I release my hold on his neck and he flips us back over.  He picks up the pace and it’s then I realize that feeling is there again.  Marius plants his lips on mine and slightly picks up the pace even more.  The feeling starts to be more than I can handle.

“I love you, Dahlia.”  Marius whispers at my ear then nips just below my ear and that does it.  I scream out and start trembling.  Marius thrusts a few more times then goes still within me.  He kisses me some more then slowly pulls out of me and lays down beside me.  I curl into him and lay my head on his chest.

“So, what is that feeling?”  I ask my curiosity getting the better of me.

“That would be an orgasm, my love.”

“Oh!”  I giggle.  “I’ve read about them, but books don’t do them justice.”  I say.  That elicits a chuckle from Marius.  We lay like that for about ten minutes before Marius moves.

“We need to get going.  Honeymoons don’t start until you get to the destination.”  He says.

“I thought ours started last night.”  I say.

“Nope.  There were too many people around.  Besides, I told the pilot we’d be there before noon.”

“Pilot?”

“Yes.  We’re flying.  I want to be the first person you get on a plane with.”  Marius says with a charming smile.

“Well how can I refuse that?”  I smile back.  “What kind of plane?”

“My private jet.”  He says getting off the bed.  I gape at him.  I get off the bed and get dressed back into the clothes I had on before Marius came in with all his s*x appeal.

Marius grabs my suitcase and my hand.  We walk to his room where he slings a large duffel bag over his shoulder.  He and I walk downstairs to say goodbye to Rose and Lysander.  We find them in the kitchen preparing cleaning buckets.

“You guys off?”  Lysander asks.

“Yup.”  Marius replies.  Rose comes over to us.  She envelopes me in a hug.

“Have a great time!”  She says.  “I’ll miss you.”  She pulls away.

“I’ll miss you too.”  I say.  Lysander gives me a hug.

“Have fun.”  He says with a cunning smile.  Marius and I leave then and head for the airport.  When we get there, we head to a special entrance that is vampires only and are escorted to our plane.  It’s about fifteen minutes before we are told to buckle in for departure.  Once in the air, the stewardess brings us each a warm glass of blood.  It takes everything in me not to leap out of my seat and claw out her eyes for ogling Marius.  Marius doesn’t seem to notice because he’s looking out the window.  Marius starts to look towards me and I quickly look out the window so that he can’t see my fury.

“Hey.”  He says grabbing my hand.  I turn to look at him.  “What’s wrong?”  He asks concerned.

“Nothing.  I’m fine.”  I lie bitterly.

“No, you’re not.”  He says in a matter of fact tone.  The stewardess comes back.  I release Marius’s hand.

“Refills?  Or are we done?”  She says ogling Marius some more.

“I’m done.”  Marius says watching me instead of her.

“And how about your lovely assistant?”  She asks watching him.  He looks up at her utterly shocked.

“This is my wife!”  He exclaims getting upset.  The stewardess stumbles back.

“Forgive me, sir.  I meant no offense.”

“Apology accepted.”  Marius says looking back at me.  The stewardess looks at me now with her eyes down cast.

“Are you finished, ma’am?”  She asks.

“Yes.”  I say.  She takes our glasses and scurries away.

“Now, will you tell me what’s wrong?”

“She was ogling you like a fine glass of blood.”  I say.

“Well, now she knows better.”  Marius says.  “Besides, even if you weren’t my wife yet, I’d still only have eyes for you.”  He says with a dashing smile.  I smile back at him comforted by the thought.  We are given the all clear to move about the cabin.

“I’m going to lay down for a bit.”  I say.

“Would you like a cuddle buddy?”

“Gladly.”  I smile.  We go into the bedroom portion of his jet and lay down on his bed.  We spoon.  I’m so relaxed that I fall asleep within minutes.

When I wake up, Marius isn’t next to me.  I go out into the main cabin and there he sits.  I look out the window and it’s nighttime.  The stewardess brings me a fresh glass of blood.  I sit across from Marius who is lost in a book.  I clear my throat and Marius startles to attention.

“Sleep well?”  He asks putting the book down.

“Yes.  How close are we?”

“Close.”  He smiles.  Just then we are asked to fasten our seatbelts for final descent.  We land and are escorted to a waiting car.  The car is absolutely the cutest car I’ve ever seen.

“What kind of car is this?”  I ask.

“It’s a Porsche, ma’am.”  The escort replies.  I walk around the car a time or two and then get in to look inside.  Inside are wonderful leather seats and the under and strip lighting is blue.  The middle console is all brand new technology and the dashboard is extravagant.  The car is even manual.  I am in awe of this car.  Marius gets in with a grin on his face.

“So, you like this car, huh?”  He says.

“It’s amazing!”

“Can you drive a manual?”

“Yes.  I learned when I was seventeen.”  I reply.

“Well then switch me places.”  He smiles.

“Really?!”  I ask shocked.

“Really.”  He chuckles and gets out.  I get out and go around the car.  They finish loading our luggage just as I finish adjusting everything.

“Where are we going?”  I ask.

“Why don’t you just drive for a while.”  Marius says.

“Okay.”  I say excited.  I get set and start to drive out of the empty parking lot.  Marius lets me drive for about half an hour before he has me pull over and we switch places.  The only thing I learned from our drive is that we’re surrounded by water.  Marius takes us to a house that looks like a little cabin and is surrounded by trees.  He stops the car and comes around to my side.  He opens my door and helps me out.  When we get close to the door, he scoops me up in his arms, opens the door, and carries me across the threshold.  He flips on the light after setting me down and then goes out to get the luggage.

“What is this place?”  I ask when he gets back.

“It’s my private cabin on an isle that I own.”

“You own the isle we’re on right now?”  I ask astonished.  Marius nods.

“Would you like a tour of the cabin?”

“Sure.”  He takes my hand leaving the luggage where it is.  He grabs a remote off the table right inside the door.  As we walk further into the cabin, he uses the remote to turn on the light.  He presses another button and the entire place lights up.  From where I’m standing, I see a balcony, two doors down a hallway, a landing area type thing, a huge, gorgeous kitchen, and a huge, elevated living room.

We walk into the living room that has a dining room connected to it.  I fall in love with the space.  There’s a gorgeous marble fireplace, a black suede couch, a beautiful oak coffee table, and a piano.  The back wall is completely glass with a door going out to the balcony area.

The dining room has a beautiful pine table that seats six and a hand crafted cedar China cabinet.  We go into the kitchen and I’m in heaven.  The island is huge and is two-tiered.  One tier has the stove on it and the other tier has a beautiful multi-wood cutting board set into the granite counter.  The sink is divided in three for different types of washing needs.  The fridge blends into the cabinetry.  The pantry is behind a sliding door that is off set from the wall.  The trash can pulls out from the cabinets.  It’s heaven!

We move on to the first door which reveals a study with a magnificent handcrafted oak desk as its focal point.  There is a bay window behind the desk and one wall is books.  The other wall is covered in art.  Marius opens the second door revealing a library with a pool table in the middle and an all glass wall in the back of the room.  The walls are covered in books and there’s a leather couch like what we have at home.

Marius takes me to the landing area thing and it leads to a bedroom to the right so no one can see it looking down the hall or directly at the house.  The bed is a gorgeous canopy bed where the posts look like trees that have been treated and made into a bed.  The head board looks like the top of a tree has been chopped off and flattened.  The furniture matches the rich color of the bed.  The scent in the room tells me that all the furniture is cedar.  The bed spread is a gorgeous ocean blue with black swirl patterns sewn into it.  There are three doors in the room.  One leads out onto the balcony.  One leads to a beautiful closet that is huge.  Calling it a walk-in closet doesn’t do it justice.  It’s like it is its own room.  The third door leads to a bathroom that has a Jacuzzi bathtub and an enclosed outdoor shower.  It’s absolutely marvelous.

“So, what do you think?”  Marius asks once we are back in the living room.

“I could stay here forever.”  I say honestly.  Marius smiles at that.

“I had my men stock the fridge.  How about a glass and then we relax for a while?”  He suggests.

“Sounds good.”  I say.  I go into the kitchen and easily find the pot for blood.  I get out two packets and begin heating their contents on the stove.  I find the heated mugs and set those to the right temperature.  Once the blood is done, I pour it into the two mugs.  Marius and I go out onto the balcony to enjoy our blood.  Once out there, I notice a break in the trees where there is a small meadow.  The moon shines brightly on it and from here it looks very pretty and relaxing.

After we finish our blood, Marius takes the luggage into the bedroom while I clean the dishes.  While drying the pot, arms wrap around me.

“You look tired, my love.”  Marius whispers in my ear.

“I kind of am.”  I reply leaning my head back so it rests on his chest.

“Go get some sleep then.”  He says taking the pot from me.  “The dishes can finish drying overnight.”  He sets the pot in the drying rack with the mugs.  He takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom.  He helps me get changed into something comfortable and then tucks me in.  He changes and then crawls in with me.  I curl into him and it isn’t long before I’m fast asleep.
