[Shadow De Vero]

Staring her straight in the eyes, Shadow was searching for Airlea's soul- if a vampire had a soul that is- and she caught the truth that was pleading Shadow to understand...to believe.

"I believe you." Shadow replied softly, stroking back the stray hairs that crossed Airlea's face, pushing them back behind her ears. Her tone was light, almost amused, but in a kindly fashion. "I do."

Shadow's fingers trailed down Airlea's jaw, moving sideways to place one hooked finger under Airlea's chin and looking into her eyes deeply.

"And I love you."

[Airlea Sabina]

Airlea smiled in a relieved fashion, she was happy and glad that Shadow believed her and right now it felt like the best thing in the world. Being trusted and believed by the one person in the world she loved more than anything. For the first time ever Airlea smiled, but it was a smile that didn't have any seduction or darkness in it. Instead it was a true geniune smile that she was happy about being with Shadow.

Airlea loved Shadow very much and that was never going to change.


"I love you too"

[Shadow De Vero]

Shadow's memory took a few minutes back- informing her brain that Airlea had told her she loved her five times. And yet it was only in that moment, that instant that it had sunk in. This amazing vampire, this seductress, the cousin of the notorious Count Dracula wanted Shadow- just little weak timid Ebony De Vero.

Shadow smiled with pure bliss. A bliss she had never felt before not even when she had been with Airlea that one night the previous later. This was bliss that was ten thousand times stronger...pure ecstacy...heaven.

Shadow held Airlea's gaze, holding it with a purposeful force. To take one look, one awe-filled look at the woman in front of her. The porcaline skin, the nile-green eyes, the soft entrancing lips, each charcoal eyelash long and elegant and completely hypnotic.

"I know Airlea, I know you do." Shadow Held Airlea's hips, pressing a little closer to the vampire, feeling her breath dance pleasantly over her face again. She moved close enough that their noses just touch, but no further...still holding that gaze.

After receiving the all clear from Shadow, a small grin caressed Airlea's strong feminine features and she leaned forward to place a comanding but passionate kiss on Shadow's lips. Her hands returned to her thighs pulling her even closer so that no gap could be seen between them. Airlea wanted Shadow so much that she couldn't take this anymore. Her eager hands slipped beneath the fool clothes and she whipped it off her head in a matter of seconds, revealing her bra and midriff.

Smiling with interest and need, she undid the bra and threw it on the floor next to the top. Her slender hands moved up her bare chest and caressed her breasts in her fingertips. Lowering her lips she caught hold of one of Shadow's nipples and her tongue began to ravage the sacred area. Airlea was a violent seductress but she could always make her lover want more pain and pleasure.

[Shadow De Vero]

Somehow it had become a sort of obligation that whenever Airlea was near, Shadow suddenly found herself being undressed. It was quite amusing if the truth be known, as well as fullfilling. No other need except to give herself wholey to Airlea was stronger. I love you. Shadow thought....knowing tomorrow it would be a different person in Airlea's arms and lips.

Trust Shadow to take the pessimistic view all of a sudden. Damn optimistic parents, usually meant a pessimistic child. DAMN!

To take her thoughts somewhere else, Shadow slowly pulled down the zip on Airlea's cat suit, her body becoming more and more scene- the pale smooth curves, every beautiful contour. Shadow's hands slipped beneath the leather, pulling the sleeves off Airlea's arms so that only her legs and hips were now concealed by leather.
