He&039;s a vampire? Everyone knows vampires don&039;t exist They&039;re lanced at Stefan&039;s face skeptically and waited for the punch line After studying his solemn face for a moment, it started to sink in that he was serious He was a vah escaped as I considered his words A vampire?!? I yanked my arm away from him and jumped up from the bed to frantically pace the room in search ofabout a robe since he&039;d seen every part (and I aveelse to do besides think about the supposed nonexistent creature sitting one chair I pulled it on and tied the belt tightly around my waist Now that I was dressed, I had a in

"Josephine, please let e fraaze intense as he watched me continue to pace the room

"You&039;re a vampire And you chose me for dinner? Is this what you do, Stefan? Pick up unsuspecting women, seduce the traitorous tears burn s assaulted me Was I just another wo to throay? The urge for

"Is that what you think? That I chose you for dinner? Josephine, I have been waiting for you forfor"Please All I ask is that you listen toheavily, I let my eyes close as I considered his pleas for me to listen and my situation I&039;d found a va for ht him home with me and had sex with hi sex that made me want to lose my mind&039; kind of sex I took a shaky, deep breath in and exhaled slowly When I opened htly cal motionless with his hand on my arm, like a beautifully carved statue My earlier resolve to shut doas cru

"You can explain in a minute but I have questions How old are you?" I asked uneasily His eyes met mine for a moment, his expression dark and his rew tight with tension and a cold knot gripped my stomach as I waited for him to answer

"How old am I now or how old was I when I became a vampire?" Stefan questioned softly, the accent in his voice heavier than before The self-assured, swaggering one, replaced with this subdued and hesitant version of himself

I promptly decided I preferred the confident, cocky version to one sitting beforedown nervously on the edge of the bed and tucking s underneath me

Stefan stood and his naked form was impressive even in the shadows of my bedroom I watched his back muscles tense as he walked to the opposite side of the rooainst thefra forward My eyes unintentionally started tracing down the toned expanse of his back and lingered over his taut ass

In spite of the situation I&039;d gotten myself into, my desire for his for hiht or reason

"My human life ended in 1070 I was 33 years old when I beca off of theframe He averted his eyes and focused on the floor as if deciding what to say next

I sat in a stupor as I mentally worked the one into a state of overload To giveoff questions about vaends

"Mirrors?"

"Myth"

"Sunlight?"

He sighed irritably "Another lasses help"

"Garlic?"

"Unpleasant to smell No worse than any other huends for me to dispel?"

"Oneorgeous creature in front ofhim questions? I really did need to look into mental help

"A coffin? No I sleep when I want to sleep Day tiht time" Stefan finishedup and down ainst his shoulder, both physically and ht of his head rest lightly on top of mine "I truly did not want you to find out this way There really is not an easy way to break this to someone, Josephine"

"If you&039;re a va?" I cringed after I asked that question I was glad to see my lack of internal filter and verbal diarrhea was still working properly

Stefan laughed softly, his chest ainst me I heard a soft click "Josephine, look at asped when I saw the proof I couldn&039;t deny Fangs My dreael, a body like Adonis and fangs Sexy fangs My fingers unconsciously lifted and started to reach out to touch the and nervously dropped ether Stefan s beforelove to you was more important The way I tasted you earlier was better than si a blush to spread acrossyou want to do?" I asked curiously, feeling s slipping into my skin Stefan i and his eyes darkening in response

"Ah, Josephine Biting you is so I would enjoy You would enjoy it as well But I will only do it with your consent," Stefan paused and his hand smoothed my hair behind my ear "To answer your other question, I told you because I have been looking and waiting for you for over 200 years You are more perceptive than I had assu to run for Georgia&039;s villa and having my ith him Or both

"I need afro the door with shaky hands I sank down on the cold tile of the bathroo and dry sobbing

Minutes passed I lost track of time as I sat huddled on s were still shaking when I finally stood up and turned on the tap, splashing my face with cold water I patted my face dry and took awhat I&039;d gottento h and walked back into the bedroo at theagain, his hands shoved into the front pockets

"You and I have much to discuss It is late and you are tired Can we resume this tomorrow?" Stefan asked, his face heavy His eyes never left the , refusing to look atfor

"I want you, Stefan I don&039;t care what you are I just want you," I said aloud before I could stop the words fro from my mouth "You, Stefan Only you"

His eyes quickly darted toto prove my point, I boldly untied my robe and let it pool around aze never faltering I stood inches fro arms and across his chest He closed his eyes, dropping his head against his back and he groaned loudly in approval

Grasping his biceps, I pushed hientle shove and he fell back against the mattress, his broad torso spread across the middle of the bed Before I lost my nerve, I straddled his hips and h the fine blond hair around his nipples I leaned down to let htly caress the curve of his jar and let ainst hi, Josephine You must believe me," Stefan murmured, his voice melodic His hands drifted across htly against him until our faces were so close that I could feel his cool breath wash across my face

"Stefan, I want to believe you I want to believe you&039;ve spent 200 years looking for et close to me has left me or lied to me And all of this is almost too much to believe "

"Then I will have to prove otherwise I willto you," Stefan assuredainst ently on the bed with my head on the pillow He stood to unzip his jeans, quickly reers over erly atte hooking over his thigh His large hand gripped retfully

"As ain until we talk" Stefan leaned to kiss reed and let out a sigh of disappointment He wrapped me in his arms and before I drifted off to sleep, I could swear I heard hi hiers I was expecting to wake up this ination Not only was he real, he was still here this iant that had wrapped hirabbed a tank top and shorts and headed down the hall to the bathrooainst it, hts caht was not only real, he was still here this ht the s a few ot dressed and headed down the hallway to the living room I pulled back the curtains to my patio and opened the door to head outside on , the sun ar my head back to enjoy the heat as it spread across my face and shoulders I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breath of war that when all else failed, yoga and ht now, I&039;d try anything tothe events of the last 24 hours

I couldn&039;t have beenback to the sleeping va up on h when I could feel eyes watching my every move I was in the plow pose when he finally cleared his throat to get aze on hi against the frame of the open door He was shirtless and his eyes were covered with sunglasses His body was pale in the sunlight and the fine blond hair on his chest and arms shined beautifully I shook hts about his ar poetic about it

"I&039;ve been practicing yoga for three years" I shrugged and rolled a mat up I suddenly felt shy and self-conscious in his presence,as ly head

"It looksinteresting You are very flexible," Stefan s his muscular arms under his chest

Ah, the confident Stefan was back thisdown the length ofo back into the house and grabbed a bottle of water fro silently behinddown onto the couch, I rested my head on the cushion behind ht as he sat beside of ainst hisers as they iy and ready to talk I wasn&039;t ready to discuss anything, despite ers stilled and he suddenly tensed beside ofto so or someone

"Your friend is here to check on you," Stefan whispered in a grudging voice How had he heard her? I had to strain to make out the sounds of the key in the lock and the door opening quietly

"Knock, knock!" Georgia shouted, closing the door behind her She bounced into the living roo the situation in front of her It didn&039;t take a psychic to know that Georgia was curious, relieved and wanted details in no particular order

"Georgia, you&039;re as fucking subtle as a groin kick," I gru better and better by the ia Turner You came to check on Josephine As promised, she is in perfect condition," Stefan said as he stood up, leaning in to kissdown the hallway to the bedroo forhfro roo at the right side of his ia pursed her lips, trying to be discreet as her eyes traced over theblond and sexy"

Stefan pulled the t-shirt over his head and slid his feet into his shoes He glanced at Georgia with ablue eyes "Georgia, I sense either you and I will either be great friends or ill constantly be at each others&039; throats For Josephine&039;s sake, we should atte of his words was unmistakable to me I instantly had aat her throat and felt a cold shiver run downthe patience of a vauratively rip her throat out
