"I am serious."Were-leopards, females at least, know who their mates are from the very first kiss. Sometimes from first sight. Mother never told me how I would know, just that I would." Olivia shrugged.
***********
"No, I don't think so. You look incredible, by the way," he said, smiling at her. "The club doesn't open for another two hours, but I have a few things to take care of first."
Vladmir arched his eyebrows, coming to a stop after the long driveway, pulling into the garage. He arched his eyebrows at her. "Sounds pretty easy," is what he said, when he was thinking, Hopeless romantic. He turned off the car and climbed out, coming to her side and opening the door for her, offering her his hand.
~_>_<_~
Zephyrine beamed at him. "Thanks," she said then listened again. "Okay... Do you need my help? I can help," she offered quickly, nodding her head seriously.

Zephyrine beamed at him. "Thanks," she said then listened again. "Okay... Do you need my help? I can help," she offered quickly, nodding her head seriously.
Olivia sighed softly; he didn't believe her. When he opened her door and offered her his hand, she took it. "I know how it sounds. I have kissed other guys before, you know. None of them made me feel anything. But when I kissed you, I felt... I don't even know how to describe what I felt. It was intense, amazing, and like nothing I'd ever imagined feeling before."So, yeah, that's why I think you're my mate. It's hard for me to put into words, but I am certain of it." She doubted he would believe her still, but she had to try and convince him.
*************
"No, but thanks for offering. It's just paperwork. It's boring but it's something I have to do myself. Unfortunately. But there may be some cleaning that needs to be done or something else you can help with. We'll see when we get there," Aiden said with a shrug. He doubted she would like sitting around being bored any more than he did.
Vladmir helped her out then closed the door behind her before answering. "It's just because I'm an amazing kisser," he said, looking down at her with a smile. "No other guy can live up to it." He didn't feel burned that she had said that, of course he had kissed other girls. He didn't even care if she had meant it that way because he was being annoying. He knew he was being annoying and he couldn't really help it. He was trying hard to stop, though. "If you're certain," he finished with a shrug.
~_>_<_~
Zephyr smiled and moved to kiss him gently on the lips before pulling back. "Okay; I'd love to do anything I can."
((Sorry that was short. Skip or write it through?))

Zephyr smiled and moved to kiss him gently on the lips before pulling back. "Okay; I'd love to do anything I can."
((Sorry that was short. Skip or write it through?))
Olivia shook her head, giggling at his words. Instead of answering his last few words with words of her own, she moved around in front of him. She pulled his head down for a thorough kiss. "I'm certain," she whispered a couple of minutes later once she'd stopped kissing him.**********
Aiden smiled down at her. "Thanks for that."
Two hours later...
Aiden finished his paperwork minutes before the club was set to open. He made his way out to the main room and quickly found Zephyr, pulling her to his side with an arm around her waist. He kissed her forehead. "Ready?" he asked in a whisper.
"Mm-hmm, I'm positive you are certain," Vladmir mumbled with a smirk after she pulled back. Leaning down and kissing her again, he wrapped his around her and held her closer. He ignored that fact that they were still in his garage; it didn't really matter to him, at least not for the moment. He held one hand at the small of her back and the other behind her neck, tangled a little in her hair.
~_>_<_~
"Yeah," Zephyr smiled at his lips on her forehead. "For what I am not sure, but I'm ready, yeah." She grinned up at him, taking his free hand in hers. She chuckled a little. "What exactly am I ready for?"
~_>_<_~
"Yeah," Zephyr smiled at his lips on her forehead. "For what I am not sure, but I'm ready, yeah." She grinned up at him, taking his free hand in hers. She chuckled a little. "What exactly am I ready for?"
Olivia moaned softly as he returned her kiss. She sat her hands on his shoulders and jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist and rubbing her body against his. "I want you, Vladmir. I want you more than I have ever wanted anything," she admitted before kissing him again, harder this time.**********
"The crowd," he murmured. "There's already a line to the corner of the building of people waiting to get in." He could sense them all, they were all humans, and each one was excited, several of them horny as well. He would have no trouble finding a willing blood donor this night.
Vladmir probably would have answered, his breathing rough and ragged but she didn't give him the chance to do it before she had kissed him again. He held her tighter, one hand on her ass and the other still on the back of her neck. He would have preferred to have been more gentle but that obviously wasn't her intentions; she had other ideas. He kissed her just as hard back, moaning a little.
~_>_<_~
"I don't have problems with big crowds. It makes it easier for me to blend in," Zephyr whispered back, thinking about the fact that men -especially in a place like this- would pay more attention to the women that were more attractive than her, and the women would be egging them on. Zephyr had a quick thought. "Is this how you get blood?" she asked.

Zephyr had a quick thought. "Is this how you get blood?" she asked.
"Take me to your bed," Olivia demanded in a breathy pant between hard, demanding kisses. He felt entirely too good against her. His lips tasted divine; she wanted to taste the rest of him, wanted to touch all of him.She couldn't possibly feel this way if he wasn't her mate, could she?
**********
"Sometimes," Aiden admitted. "I don't ever really have a problem getting blood when I need it. There are tons of people in this city who like the thought of being bitten by a vampire." He shrugged. "Several of the women want more than to be bitten."
As he was whispering to her, one of the bouncers went outside to start letting people in. In just a few minutes, there were dozens of people inside. In an hour or so, there would be close to two hundred. 250 was the limit, but he preferred to keep it under 200.
Vladmir nodded, kissing her back, licking her lips a little bit before carrying her out of the garage and into his house. He had no problem opening and closing doors while carrying her, but he was careful not to drop her, still kissing her hungrily. He had a bit of a harder time walking up steps but ignored himself tripping a little once, continuing on, to his room.
~_>_<_~
Zephyr grinned, turning to kiss him once on the jaw before whispering in his ear, "Then I will not bore you and keep you here before you've had your fill." She fought the smallest urge to tease him by reminding him not to accidently kill anyone, or to have too much fun, and she didn't. She kissed him one more time.

Olivia moaned and opened her mouth, letting her tongue come out to tease his. She felt him moving, his every step pressing his groin deliciously against her own. Before long, they were in his room. At least she assumed it was his room as she saw a bed out of the corner of her eye when she opened it briefly. Now she just wanted to be on that bed, lying naked beneath him.**********
Aiden turned to her, put his arms around her waist, pulled her close and kissed her lips. "I won't be gone long," he whispered. He didn't want to leave her at all, but he did need to drink; it had been far too long since he had.
He let go of her and moved away, easily parting the crowd. He soon found what he sought: a young girl, one who was most likely too young to be here and had gotten in with a fake ID. He'd take just enough blood to make her feel dizzy, so she would leave.
He flirted with her until she was ready to do whatever he wanted. He took her back into his office and sat in his chair, pulling her into his lap. He kissed her neck multiple times before biting down. As he drank, she began grinding her hips against his, tempting him greatly. He resisted, however, and only took her blood. He influenced her to forget that had happened, making her think she had come in here to call her parents because she had gotten sick. He sat her in another chair and waited while she made the phone call. Once that was done, he escorted her out to a bouncer who could watch her until her parents got here.
He was back at Zephyr's side less than half an hour after he left.
((Two things before I reply:
For the first one we're either gonna have to skip or go to messages -your choice.
and how are Zephyr and Vladmir going to get separated for the drunk guy to try to hurt her?))

((For the first one: I can do either, so PM me if you want to do it that way.You can have the drunk be messing with her when Aiden gets back from going to feed...))
((Skip, then..
And okay.))
Vladmir laid down with Olivia a while later, smirking slightly, pulling the comforter over them. "You're still sure, after that?" he questioned with an arch of his eyebrow, meaning the fact that she had thought they were mates earlier. He was a little more convinced now but wanted to make sure she hadn't changed her mind.
~_>_<_~
Quickly after Aiden had left, a man a little older than Zephyrine had started following her around -a bit indiscreetly as well. She had decided to go sit at the bar, and that was when she noticed him. He sat at the barstool next to hers, leaned in uncomfortably close to her and asking her questions, most of which she ignored besides ones like, what her name was. After a while she made a move to make it look like she was going to get up but her grabbed her arm roughly so she couldn't pull away, and she glared at him.

"You're kidding, right?" Olivia asked, rolling her eyes. "I'm even more certain. That was incredible. I never knew anything could feel so good." She pressed her nude body firmly against his and wrapped an arm around him to hold him close."You are my mate," she murmured against his neck before placing a gentle kiss there. "Now I just need to convince," yawn, "you." She snuggled against him as her eyes drifted closed.
***********
Aiden put an arm around Zephyr's waist and kissed her cheek. He glared at the man holding her arm. "I recommend letting her go," he said, voice low and dangerous.
"Yeah? Who's gonna make me?" the man slurred.
Aiden didn't say a word. Instead, he simply pried the man's fingers from Zephyr's arm, not bothering to attempt being gentle. To prove his point, he broke the man's thumb as he pulled it from her arm. "Leave here now and I won't press charges."
"Bastard! You broke my finger!" The man lunged at Aiden, attempting to punch him. He missed, by a wide margin, and fell face-first to the floor.
Aiden signaled a bouncer over and told him to escort the man outside. He glanced at the bouncer, saw who it was, smiled and told him to make the man forget what had happened. That particular bouncer was also a vampire. A relatively new one, but one he could trust not to kill the idiot.
"My apologies, Zephyr. I should not have left you alone."
Vladmir hugged Olivia close, wrapping his arms around her and kissing the top of her head gently, breathing in her smell deep, closing his eyes. She obviously wasn't actually trying to kill him, unless she just liked messing with people's heads. Which he probably would die if it turned out to be that way, but he seriously doubted it would. He really did feel an actual connection with her now. He had from the start, which happened a lot, but never lasted. He sighed and slowly fell asleep.
~_>_<_~
Zephyr stood up and wrapped her arms around Aiden. "It's fine, you had to feed and it's not like you knew that was going to happen." She swallowed and pulled back to look up at him. "You breaking his damn finger was probably better than me accidently killing him," she said, not thinking about the fact that she'd never told him that because of her being a demon that she had killed people before. She guessed he probably already knew, though. Hopefully, or else he might get upset.

Olivia smiled as she slept in his arms. It felt like home, being in his arms. He made her feel safe, safer than she has felt since her father was killed.**********
"Probably," Aiden said. He hadn't known for sure that she had killed people before, but he had guessed as much. "Yeah, well, next time, I'll make sure someone stays with you."
((Sorry it's so short.))
((It's fine. ^_^ At least it wasn't only one word.))
Vladmir slept pretty peacefully, each of their breathing in-tune with the other's. He woke up a couple times and almost freaked out by the fact that someone else was with him, but calmed down and fell asleep again as soon as he remembered it was Olivia, being careful enough not to wake her up.
~_>_<_~
"It's okay, but thank you." Zephyr sighed, trying to talk over the loud boom, boom, boom, of the club and other people also talking loudly. She shrugged. "I think it's okay, I'll be fine." And I can probably take care of myself, if needed, she thought but didn't say.

((If I ever do a one-word reply, please verbally bitch-slap me.))Olivia woke up suddenly, having startled herself out of a bad dream. She screamed when she realized there was a vampire in the bed beside her. But when she looked at him, the previous day came flooding back to her. This wasn't just any vampire beside her, no, he was her mate. Though she still didn't understand why fate would have given her a vampire - her most hated enemy - for a mate. But it had, and here they were.
***********
Aiden nodded at her words. She didn't need to speak up for his sake, he could fine-tune his hearing to block out everything but her if he needed to. Which he didn't, even in this din. He leaned down to speak beside her ear, so she would no longer have to strain to hear him. "Would you like to go some place quieter? They don't actually need me on the floor right now, so we could go back to my office if you'd like."
((xD Okay. I hate when that happens. I've dropped out of roleplays because of it <_<))
Vladmir jumped out of his sleep again and looked down at her with a concerned look on his face. "Liv? Are you okay?" he asked in a gentle voice, sounding as if he hadn't actually been sleeping for a while; no drowsiness. he gently brushed the hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. "Bad dream?" He hoped not, but it would make sense if it had been that. More sense than her just waking up and screaming for no good reason, at least.
~_>_<_~
Zephyrine smiled at him, her neck warming at his breath and a chill going down her spine. "Sounds better," she replied, taing his hand in hers, feeling like she would accidently lose him without actually feeling him with her. She didn't want to lose him, and hopefully he felt the same about her.

((Me too.))"Yes," Olivia whispered. That hadn't been the cause of her scream, but she didn't want to tell him he had been.
"Please help me forget. Make love to me again, Vladmir," she murmured. She snuggled up against him, throwing an arm over him and pressing her body tightly to his. She kissed his chin and neck, pressing light, feathery kisses all over.
***********
Aiden smiled as she took hold of his hand. He led her through the throngs of people to a door hidden in the far wall. He unlocked and opened the door and led her down a short hallway to his office.
He left the outer door unlocked in case he was needed for something. He relocked the door to his office, however, once they were inside. He hoped they wouldn't be interrupted. He also hoped she would want to kiss him again; it had been days since they kissed. He wanted to feel her lips on his again, wanted to hold her in his arms.
Vladmir smiled, picking her up by the waist and sitting up, setting her on top of him. When he sat up he hugged her and kissed her neck then cheek then lips, lightly, before pulling back and giving her another concerned look. He cupped her face with one hand, the other still on her waist and tilted his head to the side, as if that would help him read her mind. "I know you just said to help you forget, Olivia, but are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"
~_>_<_~
Zephyr waited until Aiden locked the door and turned back around to step back in front of him and wrap her arms around his neck. "Hello," she whispered before tilting her head upwards and kissing him, lightly then a little more harshly, without being too harsh, closing her eyes.

"I'm sure. It was about the vampire who killed my father coming after me. I don't want to think about that ever again if I can help it. Please, please help me forget." She leaned forward and kissed him, right on the lips. She scooted a few inches closer to him and pressed her body tightly to his as she deepened the kiss. She wasn't playing fair, using her body to try and change his mind.***********
Aiden growled with pleasure and kissed her back, deepening the kiss as he pulled her tight against his body. He'd given her time and space, as much as good at least with her in his house, and it looked like she no longer wanted her space. If she still needed time to think about whether she wanted to be with him or not, that was fine. But he'd missed just kissing her, just holding her in his arms. He had only gotten to do that the one time, and not for nearly long enough.
Vladmir groaned, now erect, kissing her back. He ran one hand gently up and down her side, slowly. He pulled back and opened his eyes, giving her an odd look. "You are trying to tease me," he whispered huskily, swallowing again to try to clear his throat before kissing her again with a small moan in the back of his throat.
~_>_<_~
Zephyrine hugged him, opening her mouth a little. She had thought the only reason he had brought her back with him wasn't because he actually liked her, but for some other reason. She didn't like getting emotionally attached but she knew she was, way too quickly.

"Mmhmm. Is it working?" Liv asked with a wink before leaning in to give him another deep, thorough kiss. Her body positively sang with his closeness; just this small amount of contact had her more than ready for him. And from the way their bodies pressed together, she was sure he could feel her readiness as easily as she could feel his.***********
Aiden's tongue swept into her mouth at the first opportunity. He groaned with pleasure at just the taste of her mouth. He could only imagine what it would be like to taste all of her, to actually be intimate with her.
Vladmir moaned again, now slightly annoyed, thought it was sort of fun. He kissed her back passionately before pulling back again, and saying, "Yes, it is working, but it's not fair," with an arch of his eyebrow. "Not fair whatsoever." He leaned in without kissing her again, face-to-face. "How would you feel if I was teasing you?"
~_>_<_~
Zephyrine smiled on the inside at his gentle touch, opening her mouth further and tilting her head a little to the side. Her eyelids fluttered a little bit, ignoring the throb from the man's hand on her small, pale arm.

"Actually, it's not teasing so much as it is seducing. It's not a tease if I intend to follow through," she purred. Then she closed the small gap between their lips, one hand grasping the back of his head so he couldn't escape. She moaned softly into the kiss, pressing herself tightly against him, almost as if trying to merge their bodies.**********
Aiden put a hand on the back of her head, angling it for better access to her mouth. Her taste was making him crazy; he wanted her more than he'd wanted any woman in a very long time.
((Sorry for the delayed reply.))
((No; it's not your fault. I could have at least replied on the top :/ Life is stupid. I haven't been on much.))
Vladmir smirked before she kissed him again, kissing her roughly again. Running one hand on her back up and down and the other making small circles after untangling his hand from her hair. He moaned a little, his throat husky before turning her over and making love to her again.
~_>_<_~
Zephyrine kissed him for another few moments before pulling back and clenching her eyelids roughly, pulling one hand from around him and bringing it to her temple and groaning a little without words.

((This week has been horrible. I had the worst two days earlier this week... Ugh. So I haven't been on much either.))Olivia moaned at his roughness, loving the way he made her feel with just a kiss, a touch. Then... then! they made love again and she thought she was in heaven. He knew just where to touch her, and just how to touch her, to give her such pleasure as she never dreamed existed before today.
Afterwards, she lay in his arms, snuggled tight against his body, one leg thrown over his hip.
**********
Aiden watched Zephyr worriedly.
"What's the matter?" he asked, his voice a rough, husky whisper. He hoped he wasn't the reason for her pain. But he feared he was, though he didn't know why or how that could be.
((Sorry about that <_<))
Vladmir had his arms wrapped around Olivia with his head settled on the top of hers, his eyes closed. He had contemplated asking her if he had made her forget then realised that would be against the point. He steadied his breathing to match hers, holding her close, rubbing small, soothing circles on her back again.
~_>_<_~
Zephyr took a deep breath to try to calm herself down, pressing her fingers hard to her temple. "I- no, I'm not- I can't," she paused, leaning her head on his chest, still clenching her eyes tight. "I haven't turn- turned in a long time, a few days, and I think-" she stopped and tried to regulate her breathing. "I'm fine."

"I haven't turn- turned in a long time, a few days, and I think-" she stopped and tried to regulate her breathing. "I'm fine."
((Eh. Sh*t happens.))"Are you convinced yet?" Olivia asked. She yawned and snuggled closer, pressing her body against his along her full length. It felt so good, so right to be with him like this. He had to be her mate, he just had to be. She wanted to spend every night in his arms, in his bed.
**********
Aiden rubbed her back soothingly. "It's alright, my dear. If you need something - anything - let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help you." He wasn't sure what she meant by turning, though. Did she shape-shift into a full demon sometimes? That was the only explanation he could come up with. He wasn't sure what would happen then. Could he calm her if she turned? Could he keep her contained so she wouldn't hurt innocents? Or would she prove stronger.
((And again I'm sorry. >_<))
"It depends on your view of convinced, but the general term, yes, I'm convinced." Vladmir smiled, tipping his head down to kiss her neck gently then whisper in her ear. "And I trust you're still as convinced as you were." Hopefully. He kissed her cheek then her forehead before resting his head above hers again.
~_>_<_~
"No, I," Zephyr stopped again, annoyed at her own faltering. If she were him, she'd be practically strangling herself right now just out of annoyance, but that was because she had slight anger issues with herself. She dropped her other hand from around him, dragging her black painted finger nails on her thigh absentmindedly. "I don't think you can help," she said quietly, "but it might pass without... anything happening."

((No worries. I've been fighting writer's block all week myself.))"Good," she murmured sleepily. She turned her head to look at him. "Yes, of course. If anything, I'm more certain." She kissed his bare chest and yawned. "I do believe you've worn me out again, my love," she whispered against his bare skin.
She could hardly believe she'd had sex - twice! - with a man she'd known less than a day. But as soul mates, the attraction had been impossible to deny. It would do no good to even try and fight such a thing; if anything it would only become stronger with time.
***********
Aiden frowned. He didn't like this, not at all. He wanted to be able to help her. In life, he'd desperately wanted to be a knight; he was determined to be her knight in shining armor. He'd helped her already just by taking her out of the situation she'd been in. He wanted to help her further, if possible. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I want to help in any way I can. So, please, do not hesitate to tell me how to help you."
((Eh <_<))
"A sedative-like drug?" Vladmir whispered amusedly. "I do not know if I should think that good or bad." He arched his eyebrow with his blue eyes closed. "Probably good," he decided finally, quietly with a soft sigh. "You have my permission to fall asleep again. No that you needed permission." He winced a little, tired himself.
~_>_<_~
"I don't know, Aiden." Zephyrine coughed a little. "I'm sorry," she said with a harsh swallow, leaning her head on him again. "I wish I could tell you but if I did I'm afraid you... you wouldn't believe me, or worse," she whispered with a small groan in the back of her throat.

"Definitely good," Olivia murmured. She smiled and kissed his bare chest again. Then her eyes closed in sleep, so she didn't even here his remark about giving her permission to fall asleep again, and her not needing it. She grinned in her sleep.**********
"I'll try to believe you. I won't laugh at least. I do have some experience with odd happenings, you know," he said with a wink. He hugged her tightly, but briefly, then stepped back again. He hoped she would tell him what was going on, but he would understand if she didn't.
((Sorry. Again.))
Vladmir closed his eyes also, breathing in her scent with contempt, feeling her breathing steady out as she fell asleep herself, almost instantaneously -it felt to him. He continued rubbing circles and other traces on her back before slowly falling into a light sleep himself.
~_>_<_~
"It's just, since I'm not full demon, I turn into one sometimes, but not by choice," Zephyrine said finally, less slow than she was before. "And I... sometimes I accidently hurt people. Well, the demon doesn't do it on accident but it's not my idea. I think. I might need to be locked up somewhere."

((It's fine. I've been sick for most of two weeks, so I haven't been too terribly with it. :( ))Olivia snuggled up to him, rubbing her face against his chest. One of her legs rubbed up the outside of his until her knee hooked over his hip, putting their bare bodies into close intimate contact. She moaned softly in her sleep as she pressed herself closer to him.
**********
Aiden whistled softly. "Wow. Okay. Hmm. I'm not sure if I can help with that. The only thing I can think of is to lock the two of us into a room together anytime you feel such a thing coming on. That way you can't hurt anyone but me. And I can likely heal the damage you do to me."
((Aww >_< That's no fun. Are you feeling any better now?))
Vladmir woke up on instinct then realized it was just Olivia. He sighed contentedly, closing his eyes then setting his hand on her knee while the other was still wrapped around her, holding her head to his chest. He splayed his fingers on the back of her head, wondering what she looked like in leopard form, but then deciding it didn't matter, falling asleep again.
~_>_<_~
Zephyr nodded, taking another deep breath. She swallowed. "I just- no, I can probably stop it." She looked up at him with big eyes, questioning. "It is dangerous, not to mention it... like to seduce. A lot. I cannot control it once it has taken over." She frowned.

((I am. Thanks for asking. I feel mostly better.))((Skip to morning for Liv and Vlad? Er, evening? I think it's only afternoon now...))
*********
"If you do stop it, will it just come back some other time? Maybe stronger even? Or what happens?
"Anyway, if you haven't noticed, I want you. I want to be intimate with you, but only if you want that too. If you don't want that, tell me now. That way, even if the demon takes over, I know you aren't ready and that I have to resist any attempts at seduction."
((Good!
And sure, evening.))
Vladmir awoke without moving at first, just opening his eyes. He rolled them up to look at the window, which showed from a beautiful view a sunset. He nudged Olivia to wake her up gently, pointing to what he'd noticed. "Look."
~_>_<_~
"I don't- I dunno. I just know that when it comes, I can't do anything. I can see and feel everything, but I can't control it." Zephyrine sighed, then smiled a bit. "I want to be with you also, I just- it wouldn't be the same. You can do what you want to do. I mean, sometimes I don't remember random bits. It's just not me."

((Um, hi. Sorry for bugging you.))
((Sorry for not replying sooner. I've been a bit spacey this week. Physically, I'm feeling much better. Mentally, not so much... :( ))
(( >_< That's hard. I know, holidays are fine but aftermath sucks. I hope it gets better! Sorry you're not doing well :( ))
((Thanks.))"Hmm," Liv murmured sleepily. Once she managed to open her eyes, she looked up to where he pointed. "Oooh," she whispered. "It's beautiful." She smiled slowly. She hadn't had the opportunity to slow down enough to watch the sunset since she'd started working with the Hunters Guild.
It was a bit strange to her that the very person she'd come to hunt should be showing her such beauty. Not to mention the other things he'd shown her. She reached out and put her hand on his arm - or that was what she'd aimed for anyway.
************
Aiden grinned at her admission. "I'm glad you want to be with me too." He leaned over and gently kissed her lips. "I will fend off any advances your demon form makes towards me as best I can. I would much rather be with the real you, not some demon in your body.
"I will try to help you if I can. I'll restrain you if need be. I can heal whatever damage you do to me. Just let me know how to help and I'll do it."
((... Goodreads just ate my post. That'll teach me to copy before I click the 'post' button <_<
You're welcome!
Sorry it took me so long to reply. Lots of random stuff going on right now.))
Vladmir caught Olivia's hand with his, entangling their fingers and setting them on her hip. He kissed her neck, then whispered in her ear, "If you were sent here to kill me, wouldn't you be in danger if you didn't?"
He stroked her thumb with his, looking out at the purple, pink and orange hues on the horizon. It was beautiful, and it seemed like only the sky could pull it off.
((Did she already tell him that she had been sent to kill him? I can edit it if that's right. Sorry, my mind's a blank.))
~_>_<_~
"Restraining.... would probably be best..." Zephyr swallowed. "I do not know how quickly it will come on... Or how long it will last." She grasped her head with her hands, growling a little at herself. "I'm so sorry, Aiden." She huffed a little in embarrassment.
She stumbled back, away from Aiden, her head still in her hands, mumbling incoherently without directing it to herself or him. She stood there in silence for a few moments before her hands dropped, and she lifted her head, she dark hair falling back. Opening her eyes, they were no longer the normal bluish gray they used to be, but a greenish blue, now without pupils. Her skin glowed in random spots; purple, blue and green in florescent flashes of color. Her lips spread to a feral grin at Aiden. "Hi," she spoke confidently, in a strange accent.
You're welcome!

((Sorry. It's been a hectic couple of weeks. I'll reply shortly.Yeah, he does know she came there to kill him. She told him as much. Over lunch, I think. I'll go check and give you a link to the post. ^_^ Found it: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ))
((Thanks ^_^
Ohh... I probably could have tried to find it myself but I didn't. I'll edit it.))

((Thanks. Sorry for the delay. I've had a very long day...))Olivia bit her lip. "Possibly," she murmured. "Probably. But I can't kill my mate. I can't," she said, looking back down at where he laid next to her. "I don't know what to do," she whispered, frowning. If she simply stopped communicating with the Guild, they would send someone to find her. She'd never failed a job for them before and didn't want to think about what the consequences might be.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Aiden went to his desk to see if he could find something to use as a restraint while Zephyr spoke. When she apologized, he looked back up just in time to see her stumble backwards. He started moving towards her, but didn't reach her before her head snapped up.
He likely looked like 'a deer in the headlights' when she gave him that feral grin of hers. "Hello?" he said, his voice making the word a question instead of a greeting.
~_>_<_~
((Hehe, thanks.))
Zephyr smiled widely at him, happy that she'd actually made a good choice. She had tried on a couple others but didn't like them whatsoever. "Thanks," she said, following him out of the store after he'd paid for the dress. When they were done across the street getting shoes also, she turned to him again. "Do we need anything else?"
