Chapter Twelve



With the door closed I felt a little privacy around me. I was set down on my newly made bed. I looked and could tell that these were not the new bedclothes I bought earlier today. The sheets felt fuzzy and soft. It had to be flannel. They were a pink and gray plaid. There was a gray quilt with many little squares of flowers in the center spread out on top of the sheets. "Where did this all come from?" I looked to Armand thinking that he might have the answer. I was right, he had an answer. He looked down to the quilt and rubbed his fingers lightly across it. "I felt bad after our fight this morning. So I went and bought the sheets to replace the ones I ripped. I found the quilt last month in my grandmother's house. It is one of many I had finished with her. I figured you would accept the apology better if I replaced what my anger tore up." I looked closer to the quilt. I had to see all the colors. There were pink, red and purple rosettes entwined with green vines. I looked up into his eyes and started to cry. I carefully went to my knees and reached for his face. I cupped his chin in my hands and placed a soft kiss on his lips. He kissed me back the same way. I closed my eyes to understand what I was feeling when I was so close to him. When my eyes were closed we started to deepen the kiss. He brought his hands to rest on my waist. Instinct made me pull him closer to me. I felt his right hand travel up my side and cup the back of my neck. With that small touch on my neck, I felt goosebumps go down my back. My breasts and stomach trembled with every light touch he gave me. For what reason I do not know but the feeling felt nice. He pulled back from my lips and placed his forehead on mine, then whispered, "Open yourself to me, Ana. Let yourself feel what I can offer you." I let my shields down a little. He kissed all over my face with a feather light touch of his lips. Ripples of energy danced around my body. My beast became excited with his touch. I started to smell his skin and under the scent of his cologne, I smelled the sweet scent of sage and poppies. I let my beast's energy respond to his. It felt like both of our beasts circled each other rubbing their bodies in greeting. I felt the need to have him close to me. My hands trembled and my intake of breath was shaky. I was nervous for some reason. I released another layer of my shields. Something started to happen. It was like another being waking up inside of me. The power traveled slowly to the surface.

I thought for a short moment I should stop and understand what is happening to me. Armand returned to my lips; kissing me deeply with a force that could harm a human. Didn't Grans mention something about this? I lost all thought when the last of my magic shields were breached. When the other being or power pushed through and disintegrated what I had for protection from the outside world. The power swam up and circled around my beast. Slowly, pulling my beast away from Armand's. The two danced with each other. My beast, it felt like, reached out and took a hold of this new power. They became one, complementing one another. It was as if where one was weak the other was strong and vice-versa. I had to take a deep breath. I felt like I was suffocating. I pulled away from Armand just enough to get a grip of myself. I looked down to where my hands were resting on his chest. There was a faint glow to them. I looked into his eyes to make sure it was me and not something else all together. There was a strange look in his eyes. He must have felt that burst of power go through my body. He pulled back a little further from me. I sensed fear in him and it only excited me even more. This excitement made me afraid of what was happening to me. I looked to my hands; there was a light glow to them. I looked back to Armand and giggled. The giggle wasn't my normal. There was a higher pitch to it and more of a melody, too. Why did I feel like I was changing? "Now I know why Grans always told me to be careful when kissing someone. I have never felt like this before." I said. It wasn't reassuring at all. He looked me over. "Your eyes are glowing. It looks as if they are on fire." He touched my face. I purred seductively and rubbed my face in his hand. I looked at him and thoughts went through my head. One thought more so than the others. I wanted to lick his body from head to toe. My hands caressed his body lightly. He took a shaky breath and let out a deep purr. My beast, it felt like, reached out and took a hold of this new power.

I kissed, lick and sucked on his neck. He grabbed me by the shoulders, kissed me roughly, and nipped my lip. He licked the blood and I too tasted the metallic backwash of my own blood. Armand shoved his hands under my shirt and lifted it with such force; he almost ripped the shirt off my body. I followed suit, caressing his chest as I lifted his shirt. When his chest was free from the annoying material, I rubbed my face all over his chest. Marking him as mine and mine alone. My bra was released from its duty and flung across the room. Armand took to my breasts as a babe would to a nursing mother. I couldn’t think or speak. Purrs left my body to no end. I wanted this and so did my beast. She lashed out with this new power wrapped around her, searching for Armand's beast. Together the three danced in the trees. There was a feeling of oneness with the plant life near us. The window was open and I could feel every tree and wild flower within the complex. I could feel every creature walking around, be it shifter or small animals. I started to move my body. Stretching where all the bruises and aches were. For some reason or another, they didn't hurt. I let my head fall back and breathed in my surroundings. I brought my hands back to his body. Caressing his smooth skin until my hands found his hair. They got lost in the silkiness of his long black hair. I was laid slowly back onto my bed. I had to have been on cloud nine because I didn't feel Armand crawl onto the bed next to me.

I lost my shorts slowly and was completely nude. He ran his palm across my body. Then another power burst exploded and I soared into the sky. Taking a deep breath, I looked into his green eyes and smiled at the look he gave me. It was across of confusion and lust. Something wonderful was happening to me. I just knew it! His hands were barely touching my body but my energy was grabbing at him. It caressed his hand ever so slowly with little fingertips of power dragging across his skin.

I was glowing brightly. We slowly rolled on the bed in this power. Until, I was on top. (Got to love Queen size beds.) I wanted to purr and I think I did hear purring. I just don't know who was doing the purring. Was it me? Or was it Armand? Maybe it was the both of us. We explored this power on my bare skin. All the sensations skyrocketed when he touched intimate areas. This caused the energy between us to increase. Somewhere during all this exploring, Armand lost his pants. The question was did I do it or did he? I didn't think about it anymore. Instead I licked his chest and savored the taste of him. I nibbled his neck and received purrs. I was thrown off his body and wound up underneath him. I bit his neck, marking him as my mate for life. I sucked the blood from the wound I created. With the first drop of his blood, the marks between Logan and I flared to life. Logan was startled from his snack. He was curious about what was happening. I sent him a charge of power with an under current of lust. His response was complete happiness. He was glad that I was going to include him during my first sexual experience. I didn't want to disappoint Armand and Logan was close enough to explain to me what might happen to me and ease my fears a little. Armand went lower on my body licking and kissing. This caused my body to contract with need. I soared towards the night sky with wings of lust to guide me. I was almost to the top when I felt something hard and painful entering my body. It startled me and fear began to rise. Logan took the pain away and told me to enjoy what was happening to me. Power built up between Armand and I again with tremendous speed. I reached the highest point of power and something burst inside of me. I felt like a small feather floating down to the ground. Armand hit his release because he collapsed on my body. His sweat was rolling down the scars on my body. Power vibrated through out the room. It oozed outside and touched every living thing, in a ten-mile radius. I could feel trees, shrubs and flowers grow. I could feel the ground vibrate under our power. Rich, intoxicating fragrances floated around us and I felt Armand's thoughts. He enjoyed everything and then some.

He raised up and looked at me. Inside my head I heard the question, "How did we call so much power?" I smiled and placed a chaste kiss on his lips before his mouth opened, "I'm half fey and a vampire's servant. I have power from many places, not just from my beast." He smiled back at me and kissed me passionately. We kissed for a while until we nodded off to dream land.
