Three words could easily mean a lot.
Three words could easily send off mixed messages, or even explain what you were trying to say better than you could've actually said it.
In this case, it meant Love. I don't think I would've understood what love meant unless I had became a vampire, because, in this moment, Four was showing me what love was.
-
"I love you, too." The words flowed out of my mouth as natural as saying my own name. Four looked down at me, he gave me a mixture of a breath and a laugh, I just smiled back at him and pecked his lips when he pressed his against mine. But when he pulled away I saw a look in his eyes that made my smile slowly fade and lean back in for another kiss, but this one had been completely different then all the rest. This one made my body over heat and my hands shake and become numb and sweaty: I was nervous. I was nervous because I knew what this kiss meant. Instead I tried to shake it off and enjoy the fact that I was in love. I breathed into Four as my arms moved around his neck and his around my waist, after closing my eyes and relaxing I tensed up once more as I heard my own jacket being unzipped and dropped onto the floor. I guess he felt it because he pulled back.
"No, it's okay, don't stop." I mumbled bringing my lips back to his.
"No, E, wait," he mumbled back and looked me in the eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes." I said tugging at his hair.
"And you want to do this for you, not for me, right?"
"Well... I.." I sighed and pulled away. "I mean yeah I know this is something you want to do, and I mean if I said I love you then that must mean.."
"That you'll have sex with me? Not necessarily. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, E."
"But I want to." I said right after.
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows and I nodded as he spoke, my hands already on his shirt.
"Yes." I mumbled putting my hand behind his neck and pulling my lips to his.
My lips felt sore by the time my body hit the bed, he had nibbled against my bottom lip and sucked harder then I could've even imagined and as good as it felt I needed a break. So when he started kissing down my body I was grateful. His lips had trailed over to my cheek then slowly down my neck, my eyes closed as I whispered his name. My hands ran through his hair as I bit my lip and tilted my head back as he began kissing my collarbone, he lingered at my tattoo. When his lips were back on mine I was tugging at his shirt, when I finally got it off my back was against the bed, my small hands on his bare waist, I let a shaky breath escape my lips.
"Are you okay?" He whispered and I nodded slowly. He leaned down, kissing my lips again, which thankfully muffled my sighs. After he rolled over on the bed, I rested on his lower waist, looking down at him as I pushed the excess hair from my face. He reached up and stroked my cheek, I kissed his hand then crossed my arms over my stomach, pulling my shirt over my head and on the ground. I pushed my curls out of my face once more, and when I looked down Four was staring, his face slowly reddening. I bit the inside of my cheek as I looked down at him, I slowly leaned down and lingered my kisses down his neck. I couldn't hear anything over his heartbeat.
"Four, your heart is beating really fast." I whispered pressing my ear to his chest, I closed my eyes and traced patterns on his arm.
"Is someone embarrassed?" I whispered, I heard him chuckle.
"I'm not the one blushing."
"Oh really?" I asked looking up at him.
"Yes, really." He said as I shook my head and pressed my ear back against his chest.
"Is that a hint of fear I detect?" I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at him. He just brought my mouth to his once more, his hand trailing up my bare back, the other buried in my hair.
After about 15 minutes I remained in my underwear, Four still in his jeans, no shirt. We both sat up, I was breathing hard and Four's eyes were dark. I saw his veins under his eyes and he caught me staring.
"Drink," I whispered pushing my hair back away from my neck. He shook his head, I could tell he was really thirsty.
"C'mon, I'll do it with you." I whispered back and kissed his neck. He slowly raised his hand and pushed my extra hair away, I felt him kiss my neck and before I could protest I felt his teeth sink through my skin, I winced at first. The pain was sharp and quick, then he gripped my sides and I could feel him suck the blood from my veins. I actually felt myself tilt my head back and moan. After about 2 minutes, he pulled away.
"Better?" I whispered and he nodded, wiping his mouth.
"Your turn." He whispered back as kissed my fading bruise. I had never drunk from the vein. I licked my lips and softly kissed his neck, then pierced my teeth through the skin and started to suck once I tasted blood. It was richer than human blood bags, it was clean, and so tasty, it was hard to pull away. I felt my veins as I closed my eyes and heard Four's breathing quicken. I finally pulled away and looked up at Four.
After that, we were inseparable.
