wearing less color. You were so vibrant before, that I couldn't keep my eyes off you, but lately I could see you dimming and it hurt to think I did that to you. I thought maybe forcing you to do the ceremony was making you depressed."
"I'm so sorry, Paul."
"It's alright now, sweetheart, but I want you to realize that I don't want you to change. You know I'm not that stuffy of a guy; I can have fun."
"But what about the condom prank? You were pissed when you found me." I reminded him.
He laughed. "Silly girl, I wasn't pissed. I was just putting up a front to try and scare you. Then once you were there in front of me all I could think about was touching you." He leaned over and kissed my forehead.
"Oh," I said.
"As for you settling down with babies and giving up your freedom? Well I think we should wait awhile before we have children. Then we could travel together and when we're ready, we can start our family. But that doesn't have to mean giving up your freedom. We'll have each other to get us through."
I kissed him hard. "Thank you," I whispered tears gathering in my eyes again. "You're welcome," He said. I kissed him again this time we didn't part for a long time.
His kisses were like chocolate. I couldn't get enough. I bit down on his bottom lip just to hear him growl. I smiled against his mouth then licked the sting away. One of his hands had slid down my back to cup my ass. He spanked me lightly. "You're asking for a punishment little girl."
I wiggled closer and felt his hardness press against my hip. "Hmmm, that sounds good," I said. He spanked me again a little harder and I groaned moving myself against him. "You're not supposed to ask for a punishment. You're supposed to beg me to stop," He said with a wicked grin.
"Well, I guess you'll have to punish me for not being perfect," I said leaning in to kiss him again.
"Hmmm, but you are perfect for me." He leaned back slightly and became serious again. "Don't ever change, Susan. Don't ever stop being the feisty red head I fell in love with."
I nodded. "I love you too, big guy."
"So you still want to go through with the ceremony?" He asked on the drive home. He was holding my hand and I felt so alive for the first time in months.
"Yes. Do you?"
"Absolutely. Where do you want to go on our honeymoon?"
"Oh, definitely somewhere warm and tropical. What about Tahiti? I've never been there."
"Then Tahiti it is," He said and kissed the hand he was holding.
Chapter 7
I woke stretching my body feeling the luxurious sheet beneath my naked skin. The sound of the water lapping against the bungalow was soothing and I snuggled back down. I looked over at Paul sleeping beside me. His features were relaxed in slumber and I suppressed my desire to wake him with a kiss. The past few days had been amazing. The mating ceremony took place as planned and was more beautiful than I could have dreamed.
The mansion had flowers and candles placed on every available surface and the backyard terrace was the same. Paul and I exchanged our vows under an arch of white roses with twinkle lights placed among them. It was romantic and tear jerking. I couldn't believe I cried. Paul was even surprised. He even asked if I was sure about going through with it. I told him they were happy tears and he seemed pleased.
The mating ceremony was basically the same as a human's wedding ceremony only with a few differences. I wore the traditional mating dress, which was white and flowed in the breeze like a night gown but nicer. It covered me completely from neck to toes but was also transparent. I couldn't wear underwear either but I wasn't embarrassed. It wasn't in our nature to be embarrassed of our nakedness. Paul wore something similar only much more masculine.
After the vows were exchanged we kissed and then bit each other's neck. That's one of the parts that were not quite like a human's wedding. Paul and I held each other close while we drank a little blood
