I want to bite you…

He nods his head and hugs me. 

'Do you know how you set yourself on fire?'

Ari asks looking at me in amazement. 

I shake my head no in fear to let him know the reason. 

'Ari I'm starting to lose my breath!' I urgently tell him. 

He smiles at me and grabs my hands. 

'Close your eyes.'

Before I close my eyes I see his eyes turn purple and the next thing I know I feel like my insides are being turned inside out and stretched while I'm being wrung out. 

We both land on something; me on the hard floor and him on a bed. 

"Ow!" I exclaimed from the impact.

He's a giggling mess as I glare at him. 

"You jerk! You did that on purpose!" I yell glaring at him. 

He laughs even harder. 

I let out an aggravated growl and lunged at him on the bed. 

"You'll pay for that!" I yell at him playfully hitting his chest. 

"Nuh-uh! You can't hit me even if you wanted to! You looooooove me too much!" He says in a mocking manner making kissy faces and noises at me. 

"Shut up!" I exclaim throwing us both off the bed; we both land on the floor in a tangled giggling mess. 

The door to the room bursts open causing us both to gasp and in comes walking a fuming, soaking-wet Fang. 

"I searched those waters! For an entire hour and a half! Looking for you two brats! What have you got to say..." Fang, who was originally pissed off stopped short of what he was saying and stared at me. 

"Midnight?" Fang questions wearily. 

I look down and realized I still look different. 

A deep blush overtakes and I curse inwardly at this stupid bond I have with this old fart. 

He walks towards me and without realizing it; I slink backward and let out a small hiss in warning. 

The room starts to heat up. 

He stops coming towards me and walks out of the room without looking back. 

"Mid- I mean Luna! You totally scared him!" He exclaims. 

We both break out into fits of laughter again. 

We both get up and make our way to my bedroom where we play for a bit. Once exhausted; we both curled up on the bed facing each other, our wing tips touching as well as our foreheads. We fall asleep in the comfort of our presence.

A snarl instantly wakes me and I'm on high alert. 

My lower lip trembles as my eyes start to fill with tears. 

"Ari?" I shakily say as I shove his side multiple times. 

He looks at me and his eyes flash purple; irritation crosses his features for being woke. 

'Fang is pissed. He found us cuddling.' Ari says to me with a scowl on his face; he nuzzled sleepily back into my side. 

I nod my head and lay back down to go back to sleep. 

The last thing I see is Fangs eyes at the almost closed door staring at me. 

...Those fire orange eyes and his navy blue hair...he's so intriguing yet scary.

Fangs POV

"She looks like you, your majesty. Only difference is she has dark royal blue eyes. Shocked the hell out of me." I say to Midnight's mom. 

She lets out a heartfelt laugh and starts fanning her face. 

"Well, I suppose it's about that time then." Her dad says with a light in his eyes. 

"Oh! Before I forget; does Ari know about me and Midnight?" I query.

They look at each other in silence and I can tell that they're having a silent conversation between themselves. Both sigh and then look at me. 

"We didn't tell him. Our hope is that Ari and Midnight will form a bond all on their own and it'll be strong enough that she will leave you. Ari and Midnight are after all betrothed to each other." The queen says to me powerfully. 

I grit my teeth and hold back a snarl at that statement. 

"Then I suppose I'll do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. She will always come to me and the older she gets the stronger this bond will be." I say with a grin. 

"Ari sure has some handsome competition coming his way. I don't really like you dear but you keep our daughter the safest. Right now Ari is just there to keep her company." She says gracefully. 

The queen rests her head lovingly on her husband's shoulder; her wings flittering ever so slightly at the tips. 

I hum in response and take my leave.

3 months later... 

Dawn slowly comes and I go into the room and get Midnight while she's sleeping. 

Her wings cocooning her tickle my face and she subconsciously nuzzles her head into my chest. 

I walk her to the room I'm staying at and lay her down on the bed covering us both up.

I stare at her for what seems like hours and watch her sleep. 

I lightly trail my fingers down her throat and I lean in and deeply inhale the lustful smell of blood that runs through her veins. 

Just a bite...

I feel my fangs elongate and I lean in lightly grazing the tips of my teeth against her throat. 

I internally struggle with myself before pulling away; she whimpers in her sleep and crawls on top of me.

My breath hitches in my throat and my heart starts fluttering like a hummingbird. 

She's doing it again. 

Fuck. 

Her eyes open and they flash yellow-green. 

"What are you doing?" I ask her playfully. 

She laughs for just a moment and wriggles playfully. 

"Wanna see what I can do Fangie?" She asks me quietly like she has a secret. 

I smile at her encouragingly and she smiles back at me brightly before covering my eyes. 

I chuckle lightly and then I feel her shift her weight. 

"What're you doi- mmmph" 

I grab her hands away from my eyes and roll us over. 

Before I can yell at her for kissing me I stare at the face and body of a young woman with long black hair and curves all in the right places. 

My throat constricts and my mouth goes dry. 

She's a giggling mess underneath me and the octaves of her laugh have an elegance of adulthood behind them. 

"I want to bite you." I say to her mesmerized. 

She stops laughing and stills beneath me with wide eyes; her lips slightly parted. 

For some reason...I'm not so irritated with her...

I lean in...
