IT CASTS A SHADOW UPON HIM— THEIR SIRE BOND, it erodes into his thoughts, his mind, his actions. he LOVES her right back and there couldn’t be a damn thing to stop it ; not that he really wanted to. too much time spent watching her, studying her actions, her movements, the way she is. this was just as atypical for her as it was for him. never on to settle down, those inklings stolen from them each by differences but similar all the same. « mmm missed you too » body emitting a pleasant hum, monster sated, simpering just under the surface. arm wrapped around her, keeping her slender frame pulled to his much larger one. other arm resting at his side, calloused fingers softly gripping at the blanket shrouding them into the bed. his gaze moves to meet hers as manicured fingertips rest atop his bare chest.
peppered kisses stay between them, lips locked for what feels like a century and he wouldn’t have it any other way. ALONE, without his family but she was everything he needed. her troubled words pull a concerned aspect to him as his head tilts. lips purse and his hands raise ; both of them to cradle her face in them, thumbs brushing over her cheekbones with a certain admiration & adoration. « and what makes y’think… » —- words cut off, lips purse once again as he attempts to find better words to say that could properly portray his way of thinking, portray how he feels, how LUDICROUS her remark was. forever, that was the whole point right? of immortality, a companion. perhaps it’d never been like that with any she’s sired before but somewhere he knew he was UNIQUE to the rest.
« mine. » the word is growled out, growl only there if you’re listening for it, hint of possessiveness. his. his. his.
« I want you…. always. »
she could spend forever just like this . nothing but blankets & sheets between them , never venturing outside . purely remaining confined in the safe space of their bed . his voice is soothing . his entire being calms her , sends her back to being that seventeen year old girl who fell in love so deeply . katherine never believed she’d let love in again . ❝ i think i missed you more . ❞ her voice is low and she looks at him through thick lashes as the words flow , nothing but truth flowing . for once , katherine feels safe . even if it only lasts a short amount of time before they have to move again .
still many secrets remain between them . katherine feels no need to share her end , not yet . its not that she doesn’t trust him , she does . but there’s that small part of her , that doesn’t want to ruin what they have . she just wants to focus on the honeymoon stage of their relationship . all the good & none of the bad . her breath hitches as his thumb runs over her cheek , lashes fluttering .
she can’t help the curve of her lips . or the way her fingers trace right over where his heart resides . ❝ always is a very long time . ❞ a soft exhale , katherine presses her lips against his . she takes in everything about the shared moment before moving just enough to rest her head atop his chest .
