“You are everything I could have ever asked for,”
He whispers this softly, his words honest and true.
His lips reach back down to kiss at her skin gently, just wanting to love on her.
The curly head chuckles, shaking her head.
“I couldn’t possibly ask for anyone better, you are all I’ve ever needed”
She pulls on their mating bond softly, her eyes flickering between his.
“Butterflies can’t stop me from falling for you my dear…”
“Gray and old?”
Jaxon leans back.
“My love, you are a Demi god and a gargoyle, the only part you will ever be in gray,”
He chuckles.
“And hopefully.. I will always be.. me.” He gives her a crooked grin.
“Mmm…” she grinned, letting out a peaceful sigh.
“So can I love you till we’re gray and old?” She whispered, then thought about her words for a moment.
“Well… until one of us looks gray and old” she chuckled lightly.
A low pleased sound comes from the back of his throat as her nails scratch the back of his neck and he sighs against her skin.
“Gods Grace… you could do anything you wanted.. and you would have me in a puddle at your feet,”
He admits this quietly, his lips caressing her still
Her body erupted into goosebumps at the feeling of his gentle kisses.
“That’s perfect… I love your kisses anyway” she whispered back, running her fingers through his hair tenderly.
“And yes it was hot, very hot”
Her fingers trailed to gently scratching the back of his neck
“It was hot?” His voice was low and his lips moved against her skin.
“Well, then I’ll keep them right here.. kissing you.” He whispers this as he leaves another warm kiss against her skin.
“I don’t know… the strawberry was pretty damn sexy” she grinned, running her fingers through his hair.
“Your lips are heavenly my dear…”
She sighed softly, relaxing into the couch.
“You should have told me how lame my threat was, a chess piece and a strawberry aren’t very frightening..”
He chuckles softly and his lips gently press to her neck.
She laughs at his comment, shaking her head.
“Still just a chess piece my love” she grinned, pressing a kiss to his chin.
“Your heart will always be safe here as long as mine is beating with yours”
“I’m so thankful my heart found a safe place to land… even if I tried to scare you off,”
He chuckles softly.
“And I’m definitely not the best, you are.. always..”
“How can I be the best when that title already belongs to you?” Her lips pulled up into a grin, her thumb caressing his cheek gently.
“Love doesn’t come easy to us… but I’m happy I found it in you” she whispered.
He smiles to himself and his head leans into her touch as he closes his eyes.
“You’re the best,” he whispers this and he sighs.
His whole body still felt really odd but she single handedly helped him feel better just by being there.
She yelps the moment he shifts them, a lighthearted laugh rattling through her.
Her right hand reaches up to touch his cheek, cupping his face in her hand.
“I love you Jaxon. Now and forevermore” she promised, her eyes locking on his.
His mouth opens to answer her but he can’t find something to say so he just laughs and shakes his head.
“Good point,”
He laughs and then very carefully he rolls them so she’s below him and he moves his head to nuzzle into her neck gently.
“I love you, Grace.”
She raises her head to look at him, blinking twice.
“Well, who else would be biting you?” She asked curiously, her left brow shooting up.
Of course she’s just pulling his leg. Someone has to keep the vamp in line.
The curly head snuggles up closer to him.
His eyes open slightly at the feeling and he takes a small gasp.
“Hmm.. would you believe me if I told you that you were the first one to ever bite me?” He whispers this softly and his arm wraps around her, just holding her closer.
“Oh, is that so?” She dared, moving her head to hover her lips over his neck.
“Fine… if you insists” she gently bit the flesh of his neck playfully. Of course she doesn’t have the same effect as him, but it was worth the small victory.
“Be my guest,” his voice was a deep purr as he spoke to her, the corner of his lips turning up in a smirk.
But then when she kisses him so many times he chuckles softly.
“So if I bite you?” She grinned, teasing the vampire.
“I think I’d have a pretty nasty bite”
She pressed a few kisses to each of his cheeks and forehead.
The curly head’s face flushes red, a soft chuckle rattling her body before she presses a kiss on the top of his nose.
“Any mark you say?” She raises her brows, now intrigued by this statement.
“And you’d wear it like a trophy?”
Jaxon chuckles softly and when her fingers go into his hair he closes his eyes and sighs softly.
“Listen, any mark you want to put upon me.. I’ll proudly wear forever.”
She chuckles softly, careful not to rattle him.
“If he even got out of bed today” the curly head hummed softly, tangling her fingers into his hair.
“Now you’re rocking a marking from me”
He chuckles softly and shakes his head which he regrets from the wave of pain that comes from the simple movement.
“I’m sure they will all wear them proudly today, I know Mekhi will.”
“It wasn’t every…” she cut herself off, thinking back on all of the drawings she had created.
“Well…” her cheeks flushed a bright red, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and bashfulness.
“Yes, those drawings”
“Pretty cheesy,” he chuckles.
But then when the gasp leaves her he flinches just slightly.
“You mean your art projects you made on like.. every member of the order?”
“How cheesy is cheesy?” The curly head mused, now looking up at her mate with big doe eyes.
“I wonder how long it’ll take you to metabolize all that… you think Mekhi is feeling this way too?”
Suddenly, a loud gasped escaped her lips.
“My drawings!”
Oh how the girl within his arms made him melt. Every word she could ever speak would hold power impossible to describe over him.
“You’re lucky my heads hurting, or else I would come back with something cheesy.”
He presses a kiss into her curls.
“I love you like the stars hold the moon… you light me up like the most brilliant cerulean sunrise”
She placed her right hand on his chest, her forehead pressed just below his collarbone.
This is her idea of heaven on earth.
He chuckles softly at her excitement and he wraps his arms around her gently as he holds her close to his chest.
Then his head nuzzles into her hair and her scent temporarily chases away the dull ache within his skull.
“I love you, always, Grace.”
“Is that even a question?!” The curly head beamed with excitement, quickly shuffling over to her mate.
“Scoot!” She swooped her way onto the couch, snuggling up to his chest.
A soft sigh escaped her lips.
A very relieved sigh slips from his lips and he was able to actually look around since the light didn’t hurt his eyes.
“Guess I’m following the stereotypes..” he says this softly.
“Would you like to lie down with me?”
Her lips pull up into a gentle smile before she stands, striding her way over to his curtains.
“Your wish is my command!” A quick swoop sent the sunlight away.
“Very Dracula in here now, I like it”
She nods at this thought.
“Mmmm… if you could close my curtains.. that would help a lot,”
The light was driving his head crazy.
“Other than that… I don’t think there’s much you can do..”
She chuckles lightly, snaking her fingers through his hair.
“What do you need, love?” Her big, brown eyes found his obsidian orbs.
“Is there anything I can bring you?”
The curly head’s cheeks flushed a bright, crimson red at the words falling from her mate’s lips.
“Well, hangover and all, I think you look absolutely dashing” she grinned, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead.
“I’d offer you a liquid IV but…”
“Not to of dumb things.. like drink soda as a vampire.. or get drunk..”
He whispers this softly and he slowly turns his head to look at his mate.
“Even though the lights hurt my eyes.. I have to say.. you look beautiful today.”
She walks over to the couch, crouching down beside him to press a gentle kiss on the top of his head.
“But what can we learn from this?” The curly head asked lovingly, her right hand rubbing his back tenderly.
