“But I can handle CK and
I will deal with whatever happens. Baby it’s been 267 years since I fell in
love like this. Please understand. I need you of all people to understand,” I
beg quietly as I put the tray down.
    “Oh Elizabeth,” he murmurs. “I do understand. Just think
about what you are doing. Just promise me, you won’t rush into this
revelation.” He sounds so serious. My darling boy, always the fun one, up for
anything. At a moment's loss I finally stammer, “I won’t, I promise.” He pulls
me forward and kisses my forehead. “Good girl,” he murmurs.
    Turning from him, I pick up the tray with a lot on my mind
now.
     
    Cole is waiting patiently for me as I return, not having
moved an inch. He grins at me.
    “Good boy,” I praise chucking down the tray on an end
table.  Peeling off my robe, I grab a bottle of water and uncapping it I take a
deep drink. Slowly I crawl over him, brushing my nipples against his thighs,
stomach and chest. I attach my mouth to his releasing the water into his mouth.
Groaning, he swallows and grips my head in place as kisses me, biting my lips,
which incidentally, drives me wild – although at this moment he will never know
just how much.
    “More,” he rasps.
    Happy to oblige I retrieve the bottle and proceed to quench
his thirst. Down to the last few mouthfuls, I say “Open up” and as he does, I
pour the contents waterfall style into his mouth, lapping up the spillage with
great relish.
    “Sorry,” I apologize. “I couldn’t help myself”.
    Suddenly intense he grips my chin in his hand, “Never
apologize for being you.”
    I smile, cautious of the seriousness of his tone. I get up
to fetch the other bottle of water practically ripping the cap off, I hand it
to him, distracted.
    He doesn’t know me, not the real me. And that bothers me.
Would he understand? Not be afraid? Accept me?
    “Liv?” He touches me. I blink, brought back to the present.
“Where’d you go baby?” he asks quietly.
    “Just tired, I guess. Been a long day.” I smile.
    Glancing at the clock, now glaring 2:00 he sighs, “Yeah. We
should catch some sleep.”
    Knowing sleep won’t come to me for another couple of hours,
I still crawl onto the bed next to him. He pulls me close and I lean my head on
his chest. Listening to his heart beating rhythmically I fall into a bit of a
daze.  I come to when I realize my fangs are down and my Vampire is ready for
biting. Bolting upright, I notice that thankfully Cole is fast asleep. So
careless, I scold myself, you are acting like a newbie with no self-control.
Careful not to wake him, I crawl out of bed, the clock glares 4:00. Shit! I
slept with him for two hours. What’s going on with me? Picking up the robe and
the now warm bottle of wine (ugh) and a glass, I head out to the balcony,
situated off the sitting room. I discard the robe in the sitting room,
preferring to be naked. It is high enough up to see the ocean crashing to the
shore. So peaceful here in the dead of night. Alone. I pour a glass of the tepid
wine and sit back to reflect. Taking a deep sip I shake my head at myself. Not
only am I acting like a schoolgirl, but also, and more importantly, I am not
acting like a Vampire. A Master Vampire at that. But right now, with him... he
makes me lose myself in him. I do love him, I know that now, but no good can
come of me telling him. Can it? But I know if we are to be together, I have to.
Again my thoughts return to my sweet, dead, mortal husband Fraser, only to be
quickly quashed.

Chapter 3
    My Blackberry buzzes next to me. Wincing at it, I lean over
and grab it, as I see the sunrise. Checking the Caller ID it flashes CK.
    Again?
    I groan inwardly, Devon’s doing, no doubt, I realize with a
flash of irritation. “Hello, my love,” I say sweetly.
    “Don’t try to distract me with endearments,” he snaps in
Italian. “I am very pissed at you.”
    “Oh, why is that then?” I ask innocently.
    “You know why,” he says
