Tabbruis and Charmeine stood with their defenses down looking at each other.
Tabbruis took Charmeine’s delicate hands into his while he stood in front of her.  Vines of white currents began to dance between their hands and she smiled at him.
Tabbruis swallowed hard and said, “Charmeine, I cannot deny it anymore.  I am yours.”
Charmeine smiled and said, “I am yours also Tabbruis.”
Tabbruis slowly kissed her and she wrapped her arms around him.  He held her tight and said, “We never have to be alone again.”
With the wind at their backs, they turned and went to the bed.  They lay on the bed facing each other on their sides.  Tabbruis was not going to do anything she did not want to do.  He noticed her heart beating very fast and asked, “What is wrong?”
Charmeine replied with a soft voice, “I am just nervous, you know what I mean?”
Tabbruis said, “Yes, I do,” and he let out a big breath like he had been holding it ever since she came in the door.  He said, “I think we need to talk,” took a deep breath, “Charmeine, please believe me, you are the first woman…”
Charmeine interrupted him and said, “Shh, no worries.”
Raising his eyebrows Tabbruis said, “May I ask if you have you ever?”
Shaking her head, Charmeine said, “I have never felt like I wanted to give myself to anyone.”
Tabbruis said with great relief, “I have to confess, I felt the same.”
Charmeine smiled sweeping his bangs from his face and said, “Tabbruis, I think devotion is about commitment, affection and passion, not the mechanics of the act.”
Tabbruis looked into her eyes and said, “It calms me to know you feel that way, Charmeine.”
While they were facing each other, Tabbruis took her hand and put it close to their faces.  The tendrils and sparks lit up and they both smiled.
Tabbruis said, “I have been waiting for someone to make me feel alive and ignite a light inside of me.” 
Charmeine said, “Tabbruis, since you have come into my life, I have had an inferno in me which I never had before.  I don’t know why, but it’s there now burning and raging inside of me.” 
Tabbruis leaned over and started kissing Charmeine softly and she ran her fingers through his hair and reveled in the touch of his lips on hers more than anything.
Tabbruis and Charmeine pulled away from each other and began to hold each other’s hand and this time the hand did not give off sparks but white but lazy curls and tendrils of light coming off of their hands.  Charmeine said, “I am happy, and I think the light knows.”
Tabbruis took a big swallow and said, “I am going to tell you some things which have been weighing on my mind.  Please do not talk, just let me get everything out I want to say.”  He sighed and held her hand tightly.
Tabbruis said, “I have been in such turmoil because I did not know how our relationship would work.  You being a Light-Bearer and I being a Blood-Hunter; however, that is just secondary to me now.  The first and foremost thing on my mind is the fact I want you in my life always.  I am totally committed to you.  I never want to live another day without you in it.
You, Charmeine, are the breath that fills my lungs, my eyes that let me see eternity without being sad, and my heart which beats now only to make you happy.  My flame for you is eternal and it will never burn out.  Time will never erase our feelings for one another.
And Charmeine, there will time when all be right, when all the fears we both have will dissipate.  We will then be able to free ourselves.  The uncertainties will no longer exist.  For now, please let me hold your body next to mine tonight?  Just reflect on what I have said because I do not say these things lightly.”
Charmeine began to tear.
Tabbruis held out his arm and patted his chest beckoning her head to rest there.  Charmeine smiled and nestled her head on his chest while her body snuggled up against his.  Tabbruis felt her tears fall like droplets on his skin.  Each tear was a baptism to him.  He was washed clean in her love.  Tabbruis knew then Charmeine loved him.  Tabbruis stroked her head comforting her.  Charmeine was exhausted and with one final sob she cried herself to sleep.
Tabbruis looked down once she was asleep and saw her face, and unbelievably, she had a smile on it.  Her blond hair lit up when the moonlight reached it.  Her hair was across his arm and chest and the heat from her touch soothed him.
Tabbruis made a low growl of contentment and fell asleep with her tightly woven in his arms.
