Tabbruis hung his head while sitting down on the corner of the bed. He put his head in his hands with his elbows on his knees. He did not know what to do. For all the years Tabbruis lived on Earth, he lived in a shell, an iron enclosure he put around his heart. His hope had never been tapped into. He did not know what hopefulness felt like until he saw Charmeine’s face. He had to take a chance at being happy. A chance for happiness either could fill his heart or crush it, but he needed to try.
For Charmeine’s love, he would do anything. He prayed out loud to God and said, “Lord God, please allow me to love Charmeine.”

Feeling better and a bit hopeful, Charmeine finished showering. She dried her brushing the golden waves of hair. She reached for the complementary rose lotion and rubbed it into her skin. It smelled like a field of roses and she savored the smell. She put on a white silk camisole, panties, and a robe.
Charmeine took a big breath looking in the mirror. She wandered if Tabbruis was feeling the way she was. She didn’t think she could take it if he rejected her love. She said to herself, “Charmeine, this is the moment. You can’t run away from him now. You are past the point of going back to being a lonely woman. You can’t be without Tabbruis.”
She walked into the Master Suite and no lights were on in the room. But the New York Harbor Bay patio doors were open with the moon bathing the area in light and a fresh breeze was wafting across her nose. She saw his robe on the chair. She looked over to the bed, and he was lying in the bed under the covers but had no pajama top on. She had to keep from wondering if he had his pajama bottoms on underneath.
Bravely she went over to the patio doors and slowly placed her robe next to his robe. Her skin glistened in the moonlight. The wind was blowing through her hair and the camisole she wore rippled in the breeze.

Tabbruis and Charmeine
“Found each other at last”

Tabbruis said, “Charmeine, you are so beautiful, and I cannot believe you exist. You are like the sun and I am the Earth rotating on my axis around you.”
She smiled and said, “Tabbruis,” and held out her hands to him to come to her. He got out of bed and went over to her by the patio doors. She sighed with awkward relief to see he was wearing pajama bottoms under the sheets.
Tabbruis and Charmeine stood with their defenses down looking at each other. He took her delicate hands into his while standing in front of her. Vines of white currents began to dance between their hands, and she smiled at him.
He swallowed hard and said, “Charmeine, I cannot deny it anymore. I am yours.”
“I am yours also Tabbruis,” she declared.
Slowly he bent to kiss her.
She wrapped her arms around him.
As he held her in his strong arms, he declared, “We never have to be alone again.”
With the wind at their backs, they turned and went to the bed. They laid on the bed facing each other on their sides.
He was not going to do anything she did not want to do. He noticed her heart beating very fast and asked, “What is wrong?”
“I am just nervous. Do you know what I mean?” she asked.
“Yes, I do,” he replied. Tabbruis 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…”
“Shh, no worries,” she interrupted him with a reassuring look.
Raising his eyebrows Tabbruis inquired, “May I ask if you have ever…?”
“No,” she replied, “I have never felt like I wanted to give myself to anyone.”
“I have to confess, I felt the same,” he said with great relief.
She smiled sweeping the bangs from his face and said, “Tabbruis, I think devotion is about commitment, affection and passion, not the mechanics of the act.”
He looked into her eyes and said, “It calms me to know you feel that way, Charmeine.”
While they were facing each other, he took her hand and put it close to their faces. The tendrils and sparks lit up and they both smiled. He said, “I have been waiting for someone to make me feel alive and ignite a light inside of me.”

She 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.”
He leaned over and started kissing her softly.
She ran her fingers through his hair and reveled in the touch of his lips on hers more than anything.
They pulled away from each other and began to hold each other’s hand. This time, her hand did not give off sparks but white but lazy curls and tendrils of light. She said, “I am content and 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.
“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. She smiled and nestled her head on his chest while her body snuggled up against his. He 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. He stroked her head comforting her. She was exhausted and with one final sob she cried herself to sleep. He 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 and Charmeine

Tabbruis and Charmeine were together now. But he wondered how they were going to make this love work because she was his opposite. More importantly, the Blood-Hunter was still out there and a real threat.
However, she was a wonder to him and her love made him feel at peace. He worried about the morning and what would come.
But for now, Tabbruis made a low growl of contentment and fell asleep with Charmeine, his love, tightly woven in his arms.
Tabbruis and Charmeine found each other at last.
