“ It’s one-hundred “ It’s one-hundred kids and by December forth at the latest” I knew it was a big order on short notice I really wanted this even to be phenomenal for the. A lot of these kids hadn’t had good Christmases, new clothes or fun in a long time all of that had changed with the donations that came in this would be the cherry on top of it all.

“We can handle that, call me and we can set up a day next week to get all the kids sizes, what color and style of clothing they would like as well, sound good? She asked I could feel her excitement as well which made me happy that she was looking forward to doing this she was something special, just like her sister.

I wrapped up my call and headed back into the store glad to have handled that without to much fuss, a simple mistake on the clients fault he thought he’d ordered more than what arrived so he redid his order and just for good business I added a special order of or our family label wine no charge the client had been thrilled of course.

“Okay sounds good, your amazing” the sound of Jane’s voice drew my attention she was done I walked up and grabbed her bags in one hand and her right hand in the other.

“Ready” I asked she nodded before waving to Elena we headed out the store to the car. Jane was beaming what had her so happy she was practically skipping to the car.

“ What has you so happy baby?” he asked opening the back door for her she slid in, Maxwell came and took the bags from him and put them in the trunk.

“Thank you Maxwell” getting in the car he closed the door. Jane told him what he and Elena had talked about while he was on his call the clothes for the children for the recital coming up in a few months and how Elena would be mak8nf the clothes special for each child in the color and designs of their choosing she was beaming ear to ear he hadn’t seen her this excited and happy since his return he loved it he was happy for her and the children and he loved the extra mile he was going to for them not a lot of people would do that or wanted to for others even there own family she had some much compassion and love she was truly beautiful inside and out h3 felt a bittersweet pang as he gazed at Jane he wished he could have children with her children who would be just as sweet and beautiful as her.

“ Are you okay?” Jane asked taking his hand in hers of course she would feel his emotions and the sudden change he didn’t want to lie when she could clearly feel he wasn’t but he didn’t want to also remind her of the one thing he could never give her, that had been another reason he ran he was afraid that the sacrifice of her giving up the chance to have children would be too much eventually and he couldn’t blame her she was giving up a lot.

“ I just wish I hadn’t been a fool and left you” he finally said which was the truth just not was wrong in the moment. She gently touched his face with her other hand he laid his face in her palm enjoying the feel of her warm hand against his slightly cooler skin.

“You’re here now that’s what matters okay?” she assured him.

“Okay” he agreed covering her hand with his gently pressed a kiss to her lips she surprised him when she deepened the kiss her hands went 5o his head into his hair pulling him closer moaning into her mouth he kissed her back his hands went to her back to press her to him as tight as he could without being to rough she sighed into his mouth he was about to lay her down on the seat when Maxwell cleared his throat reminding him they were in the back of the cat and he waiting on him to tell him where to go next.

Mentally sighing at the great burden of having to release Jane and her soft lips he gently let her go she had a dazed look on her face her cheeks were roses against her caramel brown skin her full lips looked even fuller mmm he had plans for her later but for now.

“Where to now baby”? he asked she blinked a few times as if she too for a moment forgot where they were.

“Is it okay if we go home and order in I’m a little spent” she absently rubbed at her chest. She had been doing pretty good despite being out all day and no longer taking her medicine but he didn’t want to over due it they had plenty of time.

“Of course, what do you want to eat? I’ll order it now” he asked as Maxwell pulled away from the curb and headed to his place although he enjoyed when Jane said “home” that had a very nice ring to it.

“ Large peperoni and banana pepper pizza”

“Extra sauce” he asked pulling up her favorite pizza place to place the order she nodded

“Si grazie” she replied she reach3d down to take her shoes off for the ride home she rubbed at her feet he pulled her legs onto his lap to rub her feet letting out a contented sigh she leaned back and closed her eyes, her breathing evened out and she fell asleep she must have been more tired than she let on. He gently rubbed her feet as they headed home he had the order set for delivery so she would have time to take a shower and relax before she ate it was what she always did her shower was her moment as she put to just hit pause and wash away the day and relax in silence he would make sure she had her moment he had something he wanted to tall to her about and wanted her rested, fed and relaxed for this conversation he wasn’t sure how she would take him asking her about them living together it was a lot he hadn’t been back long they had things to work through but beyond all that he wanted her and he wanted them together forever but he knew Jane wasn’t one to take just your word she needed action behind them which was fine he would be do whatever it took.

The sound of the car door shutting woke me up I blinked groggily I yawned looking around for Antonio he was getting my bags out the trunk I was just reaching to open my door when Maxwell opened it for me, murmuring a thank you I got Antonio came and took my hand with his free hand all my bags he easily carried in his other.

“Thank you Maxwell, were good for the rest of the day.” Antonio said we headed towards the door when I remembered Elena’s phone number I almost forgot sheesh some match maker I was.

“ Wait Maxwell” I called pausing he came over to me I held my hand out.

“Give me your phone please” looking slightly confused he reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone, taking his phone I added Elena’s number before handing it back to him, eyes widening he looked back and gave me a huge grin.

“Elena said give her a call sometime” I said giving him a wink

“Wow did you say something to too her? He asked

He was practically bouncing in place with excitement it was like a rain of sparks was dancing on my skin.

“ Nope just that I would pass her number off to you” I assured him I could tell he couldn’t believe it but was happy I hoped they both connected and something good came from it.

“Thank you Jane have a good evening” he said heading to the car I gave a small wave waving back he pulled off.

“Come along my little match maker” Antonio said a an amused smile on his lips. We headed inside to the elevator to the top floor we rode in comfortable silence I was ready to take a shower, put on a pair of my new pajamas and enjoy this pizza and relax with Antonio I wonder what he wanted to do for the r3sg of the evening? We got off the elevator and I paused at his front door so he could unlock it he gestured for me to go in first I took my shoes off at the door and hung my purse up on the rack by the coats.

“You can go take a shower, your food should be here by the time your done” Antonio said “I’ll put your bags in our room”

“ Okay” I gave him a quick kiss before I headed off to the bathroom I turned the shower on while I waited for it to warm up I slipped my dress, panties and bra off putting it in the hamper I stepped in to the shower I sighed contently as the warm water washed over me as I stood there I replayed what Antonio had said he said our room and for some reason that secretly pleased me I closed my eyes and let the water hit my face. I remembered I also said our home earlier and I felt a sliver of pleasure from Antonio as well did he feel the same way as me? I didn’t want to jump the gun or rush anything we had time and I still had things I needed to tell Antonio and until I did I wouldn’t rush things or jump head first into anything there now that I’d settled that I turned my attention to enjoying my shower I grabbed my shampoo and began washing my hair humming the new song I was working on foe Saturday I was looking forward to performing with Antonio there to see me this time. He had seen me perform in plays acting or playing the piano at recitals and contests but I never sang but I found I really enjoyed it as much as playing the piano maybe more it helped me express myself I never had before I was always feeling the emotions of others the good the bad and the ugly I would take it all in and it had nowhere to go but my music and now singing was a release for me music was in my soul, I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair before adding the conditioner I’d wash up while I let it soak for a few minutes I grabbed my milk and honey body was pouring a generous amount of my sponge I washed up taking my time I hummed to myself once I was nice and clean I rins2d my hair dried off and headed into the bedroom to put my clothes on I decided on the dark green satin shorts with lace trim and matching pink lace cami that showed a hint on my midriff. Grabbing my travel case I grabbed a pre-rolled joint, lighter and ash tray before I headed back into the living room.

The pizza had just arrived when Jane came into the living room looking absolutely beautiful sexy beautiful in her dark green pajamas that set off the golden honey color of her skin and her black hair was making her look exotic he couldn’t help that his dick of course went rock hard and his fangs pulsed inside his gums good lord she would be the death of him all thoughts of taking things slow seemed to fly right out the window Jane was currently opening before grabbing a throw pillow the proceeding to bend over giving him a perfect view of her bubble butt that his hand was itching to smack right now.

“Good lord” the pizza delivery guy muttered I turned my attention to him he had honestly forgot about him when Jane walked into the room. His gazed was glued to Jane and was the drool on the side of his mouth…? He stepped in front of him blocking his view he held out the money for the food the guy quickly took the money and handed him the box he knew his gaze said fuck off she’s mine and he didn’t care without a word he left good riddance he shut the door and locked it he couldn’t blame him for looking at her it didn’t mean he had to like it. The smell of Marijuana and lilacs filled the air hmmm he’d never smelled a strain like this before interesting he sat the box on the coffee table in front of the couch before heading to the kitchen to grab napkins, a bottle of his “special” wine and a bottle of root beer for Jane, he watched her from the kitten she was gazing out the window her foot swaying to a beat only she could hear she looked very serene and beautiful without a second thought he pulled his phone out and snapped a picture of her she blinked a d looked over at him a if he had to describe it a dopey smile on her face making him chuckle.

“Feeling good baby?” he asked walking back over to her he set the stuff down on the table she put the joint out in the ash tray before nodding she shut the door locked it and got up to come sit on the floor by the coffee table.

Yes, I’m good how are you feeling?” she asked she had a if he had to name it a dreamy look on her face

“I’m excellent, why don’t you find a movie I’ll grab us some glasses” he headed back into the kitchen he grabbed her a tall glass cup and filled it with ice then grabbed himself a wine glass. He glanced at the TV to see what she had picked Knives Out sounded Interesting. He handed her the glass before sitting down on the floor beside her mmm she smelled good he found himself leaning closer without thinking about it and Inhaling her sweet intoxicating scent like a garden of flowers mixed with smell of fresh rain and honey she glanced over at him and almost bumped heads he was that close t0 her eyes widened I surprise before she relaxed and turned to start the movie okay he needed a drink before he was even .ore tempted to bite Jane. He grabbed the bottle of wine popped the top and poured a generous amount in his cup before taking a greedy gulp and wishing it was Jane’s blood mixed in with the wine he couldn’t even appreciate the delicious flavors with Jane this close he’d tasted her blood nothing else could ever compare. He turned his attention to the movie he hadn’t even noticed she had begun eating get a grip she could probably feel his deep desire to bite her he didn’t want her on edge the whole movie taking a deep breath he let it out slowly he did this three times before he felt more relaxed he gave his attention to the movie.

I was completely relaxed, mellowed out and ready to devour this pizza while I watched this movie with Antonio who seemed ready to sink his fangs into me at a moments notice his aura had been crackling since I walked in the room I loved how he craved me but I also felt the same way as him I wanted to show him but I couldn’t I wasn’t ready and we still had things to talk about so I made sure not to lead him on any way when I knew it was already hard enough on him he craved my body and my blood a double whammy and I could feel it and it was affecting me I was already feeling hot and heavy for him then add on feeling his desire and I was ready for a long cold shower I clenched my thighs and turned my attention to my food and the movie, an hour in we both got up on the couch and cuddled Antonio laid behind me and held me tightly against him I had my head on his arm as my pillow while he stroked my head with his other head.

“Your going to make me fall asleep” I murmured as my eyes grew heavier and heavier

“What’s wrong with that? He asked as he continued the rhythmic pull off his hand through my hair sighing contently I snuggled against him trying to get even closer until we touched everywhere he let out a deep moan.

“Er sorry” I murmured my cheeks grew hot when I felt his penis grow hard against my bottom I tried to scoot away but he held me still.

“ Your fine Jane I love laying with you like this I promise there is no pressure I know you feel how much I want you but I can control myself and I can wait until your ready, I don’t just want you physically I want you mind body and soul I want you sure of us one hundred percent more than anything okay?” I was completely speechless by his words all I could was say “yes Antonio” my voice was barely above a whisper but of course he heard me.

“Good” he gently grabbed my face and tilted my face back to kiss me his lips moved slowly but passionately against mines making my toes curl he pulled away to soon for my liking he laughed at pouty expression.

“Let’s finish the movie if you can” he teased me sticking my tongue out at him Playfully I turned back around and laid down to finish the movie Antonio went back to running his hands through my hair I tried but I couldn’t stay awake I nodded off.

I was alone I a strangers bedroom alone In the dark drinking my misery away when the door opened and a dark silhouette filled the doorway I instantly felt uneasy I went to get up to leave when I suddenly felt dizzy eveyrh8nf tilted to the right when I went to take a step the figure shut the door closing us in darkness he moved towards I had to get away I backed up And feel backwards on the bed the figure moved closer when they reached for a screamed bubbled up my throat there hand covered my mouth silencing me.

I jolted upright my heart racing I looked around I was still on the couch Antonio was gone the credits were rolling on the screen. I put a hand to my chest willing my heart to stop racing I took a deep breath in and out I needed t9 smoke yupp getting up I grabbed my lighter and joint out the ash tray instead of just cracking the door I went out onto the balcony I lit it and took a deep drag I held it in then slowly exhaled. Don’t think about it don’t think about I chanted to myself as I smoked I let my mind go blank and just smoked.

Jane had fallen asleep as I knew she would I gently pressed a kiss to her forehead as I held her the ringing of my phone had me quickly getting up and grabbing it off the table before it could wake Jane up I glanced at the caller ID before I answered it delivery right I forgot I had a blood supply coming today. I answered letting them know I would be right down pocketing my phone I headed out the front door to go downstairs instead of the elevator I took the stairs moving at vampire speed I was downstairs and in the lobby in a minute I spotted the courier waiting by the front door when he spotted my he made his way over he handed the clip board to sign before handing me my cooler I gave him a tip before I headed back upstairs I was surprised to see Jane wasn’t on the couch but out on the balcony smoking she looked lost in thought. Hmmm he went to put the cooler away before joining her outside he came to her side she didn’t speak or acknowledge him just continued to stare out at the city as she smoked he didn’t say anything he let her have her moment when she was done she turned and headed back Inside he followed behind her she sat on the couch and grabbed the remote she began scrolling through the channel’s.

“Jane are you okay?” she turned and gave him a big smile that didn’t reach her eyes

“Yes, sorry I fell asleep did you want to watch another movie or do something else?” she asked turning to give him her full attention.

“What do you think about us living together?” He blurted before he stop himself her eyes widened she blinked a few times probably thrown off by his sudden question and he hadn’t planned to bring it up to her this way or so bluntly but it was out there now no going back .

“ I know we still have stuff to work through and I don’t want to rush you I’m not saying today or even a moment from now but I’m serious about us and I want us to live together and get a home together” he continued when she didn’t say anything she finally seemed to snap out of it she bit her lip and twirled a lock of her hair around her finger

“Can I have some time to think about it”? She finally said he nodded that wasn’t a no and that was good enough for now.

kids and by December forth at the latest” I knew it was a big order on short notice I really wanted this even to be phenomenal for the. A lot of these kids hadn’t had good Christmases, new clothes or fun in a long time all of that had changed with the donations that came in this would be the cherry on top of it all.

“We can handle that, call me and we can set up a day next week to get all the kids sizes, what color and style of clothing they would like as well, sound good? She asked I could feel her excitement as well which made me happy that she was looking forward to doing this she was something special, just like her sister.

I was alone I a strangers bedroom alone In the dark drinking my misery away when the door opened and a dark silhouette filled the doorway I instantly felt uneasy I went to get up to leave when I suddenly felt dizzy eveyrh8nf tilted to the right when I went to take a step the figure shut the door closing us in darkness he moved towards I had to get away I backed up And feel backwards on the bed the figure moved closer when they reached for a screamed bubbled up my throat there hand covered my mouth silencing me.

I jolted upright my heart racing I looked around I was still on the couch Antonio was gone the credits were rolling on the screen. I put a hand to my chest willing my heart to stop racing I took a deep breath in and out I needed t9 smoke yupp getting up I grabbed my lighter and joint out the ash tray instead of just cracking the door I went out onto the balcony I lit it and took a deep drag I held it in then slowly exhaled. Don’t think about it don’t think about I chanted to myself as I smoked I let my mind go blank and just smoked.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” – Pablo Neruda

Antonio

Jane had fallen asleep as I knew she would I gently pressed a kiss to her forehead as I held her the ringing of my phone had me quickly getting up and grabbing it off the table before it could wake Jane up I glanced at the caller ID before I answered it delivery right I forgot I had a blood supply coming today. I answered letting them know I would be right down pocketing my phone I headed out the front door to go downstairs instead of the elevator I took the stairs moving at vampire speed I was downstairs and in the lobby in a minute I spotted the courier waiting by the front door when he spotted my he made his way over he handed the clip board to sign before handing me my cooler I gave him a tip before I headed back upstairs I was surprised to see Jane wasn’t on the couch but out on the balcony smoking she looked lost in thought. Hmmm he went to put the cooler away before joining her outside he came to her side she didn’t speak or acknowledge him just continued to stare out at the city as she smoked he didn’t say anything he let her have her moment when she was done she turned and headed back Inside he followed behind her she sat on the couch and grabbed the remote she began scrolling through the channel’s.

“Jane are you okay?” she turned and gave him a big smile that didn’t reach her eyes

“Yes, sorry I fell asleep did you want to watch another movie or do something else?” she asked turning to give him her full attention.

“What do you think about us living together?” He blurted before he stop himself her eyes widened she blinked a few times probably thrown off by his sudden question and he hadn’t planned to bring it up to her this way or so bluntly but it was out there now no going back .

“ I know we still have stuff to work through and I don’t want to rush you I’m not saying today or even a moment from now but I’m serious about us and I want us to live together and get a home together” he continued when she didn’t say anything she finally seemed to snap out of it she bit her lip and twirled a lock of her hair around her finger

“Can I have some time to think about it”? She finally said he nodded that wasn’t a no and that was good enough for now.
