Los Angeles, California...
"I am the reason...., " she whispered. She didn't know why but she felt hurt somewhere inside her heart. Vladimir very well knew her mental state to say those words.
Though he didn't mark her but the tattoo was connecting her with him. He could feel the pain of her but she didn't know what it was. He was confusing her knowing that he couldn't tell her the real reason.
He wouldn't deny but she was the only reason. Coin had two sides to identify and she was one of the important side. He already faced the first side of the coin which was not so easy for him to pass but he did cause he didn't have anyone then to think about.
Now, it's time to face the other side of the coin which was the utterly unbelievably disgustingly irritatingly heavenly cruelest truth of his life which was his divinely stunningly humanly loveable Mate. His Wife Now!!
News right?! No... nah!! It was never been a news to him but it might be for his little mate. 'Poor one!! But his Mate though. He have to deal with her stupid questions.' He sighed thinking about it.
Yup!! You might think, he would be a mad to think like that. But it was not his wish to have a mate. Though he got one. His luck!! He would curse everyday but he could never stop himself from falling for his little human mate.
He brushed off his thoughts knowing she would think so much that would lead her nowhere until he wanted. Closing his eyes blocking his inner self for now, he looked directly towards her.
"Yeah! You're the only reason, I have been living for. You're the reason, I am still alive. You're the reason of my sanity. You're The Reason of My Entire Existence." It wasn't lie though. He uttered these true words this time but for her, it was beyond understandable.
He saw her eyes widened in shock. Palming her mouth with hands she shook her head. It was truly unbelievable for her. She never had come across this kind of situation. She felt heavy in her heart.
She could feel his desperation for her. But she hated their kind, she reminded herself. Who cared when their heart run into an opposite direction. Like hers. She was drawing towards him every second.
Vladimir could sense her emotions very well. This time it felt like she didn't tried to hide her emotions from showing. She was feeling the same as she was thinking. She wasn't masking them anymore.
He was glad she was easily getting to the point that she was actually married to A Vampire. His lips twitched into a lopsided smile knowingly. Getting more closer to her, he examined her. She was looking at him without any expression.
He kneeled down in front of her while directly looking at her. She didn't back away. He felt relieved knowing he didn't have to be so careful before going near her. He always loved her strong side. He took her hands in his softly, caressing the knuckles gently.
She felt warmth in his touch. The touch which was making her feel those things, she never thought she would feel. She felt the only thing was 'Love', maybe. She saw him smiling at her. The smile could make anyone go flat on.
Most importantly, that smile was only for her. She could feel. She could see the oceanic light blue eyes of him, now was sparking with pink silvery glint. His thick brows were like they had been drawn perfectly.
But he was for real, beside her, holding her hands gently. He was divine and everything you could dream of. He was ruthless & monstrous too. Though he was there not as anything he was known for but as her Husband.
She loved the word "husband" for him in her mouth. She could feel gosebumps tangling in her body. She felt ache in her knot, why, she didn't know. Vladimir could feel her pain. His eyes darkened with worry. Letting go of her hand, he stood up, not knowing what to do.
The time he left her hand, she felt the pain increased. She whimpered in pain. Vladimir's eyes shot up directly towards her. He saw her in pain. He felt hurt. But he wasn't getting why she was feeling the pain.
"Stop it please!" Anina cried out in pain. She turned herself into a ball just to suppress the pain away. "Vladimir, please do something. It's hurting so much," she looked towards him for his answer but he remained stuck in his place.
When he came back to his sense, he went near her in a rush, taking her into his arms. She felt her pain somehow lessened a little bit. But it was still hurting her. She held him close as if her life had been depending on him.
He rubbed her back, trying to sooth her pain. That time he knew, it was happening cause of the tattoo on her neck. It had be to happen sooner or later. But it was too early for her.
"Honey, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. I am here. I will take the pain away. Please stay with me," he caressed her cheek. Her eyes were teary. She looked at him sadly in pain. She could feel his hot breath on her neck which was soothing her.
She touched his face with trembling hands caressing his jaw. He felt alive at her innocent touch. He looked at her slightly leaning away but her pain started to increase again painfully cause of his distance. She pulled him to her clutching onto him tightly.
"Don't leave me. It hurts. Please....," she sobbed. Vladimir just nodded, pulling her close, keeping her body in his touch. Enough close as if there was only space for air to go in. He held her close rubbing her back along with brushing her hair.
He could feel his urge to claim her. But it was not the time. Moreover, she was not in the state to do so. He was a monster but for her, today, he was her saviour. She needed him though he couldn't give in to her, even knowing it was his only wish from the very first.
To say, he was not gonna let her feel used later next morning. She sensed his hesitation. Before she could say anything he spelled out, "You need to let go of me. I won't do any better to you cause I don't want you to regret later next morning. So let me go."
Anina felt pain hearing him as she cried out unable to handle it. She was getting angry too seeing him not giving in to her. She wanted him close to her. To her body & very close. She didn't know why but she wanted him as well as needed him.
"You... I don't know what is happening to me but I know one thing that I want you close. Near to me to sooth my pain, you to make me feel ease. And you would do whatever you need to do," she said firmly while panting.
Vladimir was shocked enough to react. He never had anyone to order him around. But it was not an order but firm ditermination of his mate that she wanted him. Though he wanted to keep her words but it wasn't the right thing to do.
"No...you would regret it later. Anyway, you don't think me that way so still though I'm your wedded husband but not the way...," before he could even finish, her lips was on him. She kissed him hard in rage.
She was reacting strange she could feel too. For Vladimir, it was the most shocking thing as well. But Anina was not going to hold her or her emotions back today. She wanted him to sooth her pain & he would, she was gonna make sure of that.
"Yes..!! You're my husband. You got that!! You can't let me feel the pain which is taking my life with every second. You can't, " she said out loud. He just looked at her emotionlessly. He didn't want to see her in pain but he too couldn't help her cause it would make things more worse.
"I know!! I am your husband but you would regret later when I wouldn't able to control myself. So try to understand..., " he tried to be reasonable but she shushed him with a kiss letting her pain subside a little.
After leaning away a little from the kiss, she murmured softly and lovingly looking into his eyes, "My Husband!"
She brushed his cheeks closing their gape. When their lips touched, they danced together in a sync, while in the sky fireworks were glistening. Vladimir hummed in delight but shuddered thinking what would come out next morning.
He ignored all the things keeping himself busy soothing his wife's pain, giving her the pleasure while marking her his. He quenched his thirst after ages not just from anyone but from his own wife.
