Author\'s Note: Well, here it is ... the final chapter. This was originally supposed to be a short little fic like my others, but it got massivly out of controll. Hopefully it\'s good, but I won\'t know unless you guys let me know, so please R/R.

Author\'s Note 2: I\'ll be starting on a new fic in the next few days. So, if you like my work please stop by my LJ: http://www.livejournal.com/users/makaikitty/ to find out about what I\'m up to.

Fate

Let us know how it goes!? Yeah, right! Never go to a vampire for advice. Never. Well, I guess I didn\'t technically go to him for advice, now did I? I went for answers, and I got them. Actually, I got way more than I\'d planned on, but at least now I know what I\'m dealing with. The question is, what do I do with all of this information?

The walk home seems shorter than it should, and I still don\'t know what to do by the time I get there. Do I really love him? I guess I already know the answer to that. It was obvious even to a near stranger in less than an hour. Although that may have had something to do with the fact that he probably reads minds. That doesn\'t change the facts though. But am I willing to give him forever? Victor was right, forever does carry a lot more weight when we\'re talking about an immortal lifetime. Could I really do it? Commit to just one person till the end of time? No, not one person. Alexis. My Alexis. I think about the way his ruby eyes sparkle when he smiles at me, about the musical tinkling of his laughter, the sugary sweetness of his kisses, and suddenly forever doesn\'t seem so very long. What the hell, I\'ll just wing it. Go with the flow and see what happens. It\'s a philosophy that\'s worked for me so far, so why change now?

When I open the front door Lexi is already half way down the stairs. He looks flushed and is a little unsteady on his feet, but he takes the final few steps at a run. His expression is relieved as he throws his arms around me and asks breathlessly, \"Where have you been?\"

\"Aww, were you worried about me baby?\"

I can feel him nodding his head against my chest, his arms still wrapped tightly around my waist, and I suddenly regret having left without telling him. I had known that he wouldn\'t approve of where I was going, or why for that matter, and I hadn\'t wanted him to try and stop me. I had also worried that if he couldn\'t find a way to prevent me from going that he would have insisted on coming with me. Despite the fact that I ended up hating the vampire slightly less by the end of my visit, I still didn\'t want the bastard anywhere near Alexis. Plus, I didn\'t think Lexi could handle it. It may have left him a little distressed, waking up to an empty house for the first time and not knowing where I\'d gone, but I think it was really my only option. Hopefully it had all been worth it. Well, we\'re about to see, aren\'t we?

After holding him for a little longer I pull myself away and stand back, putting him at arm\'s length and looking him straight in the eye. I tell myself it\'s now or never and then I ask him, \"Do you love me?\"

His eyes widen considerably and he seems to be shocked, relieved, and terrified all at the same time. Like he\'s been both dreading and anticipating this very question. Well, that makes two of us. When he looks away I almost want to let him, but I can\'t. This is too important.

\"Lexi?\" When he still won\'t answer me I decide to change my tactics. \"I know why you\'ve been sick Lexi. Why didn\'t you tell me what was going on? Didn\'t you trust me to understand?\"

\"No, it\'s not that ...\" I think it takes his mind a minuet to completely realize what I had just said. I can see the pieces falling into place behind his eyes, and suddenly he\'s looking up at me accusingly and asking, \"Where have you been Shayne?\"

I decide that there\'s no point in hiding anything, so I tell him. \"I went to see Victor. He told me everything.\"

\"Victor? You went to see Victor?! How could you ...\"

\"How could I not go?\" We\'re both shouting now, but I don\'t care. At least now it will all come out. I hope. \"You wouldn\'t tell me anything, so who else was I supposed to ask? It\'s not like I can go to my doctor for advice on sick daemons, now can I? Was I just supposed to watch the person I love waste away? Huh, Lexi, was I?!\"

He looks shocked for a minuet by what I\'ve just said. I hadn\'t meant for it to come out that way, but when all of the anger seems to leave his expression and I see it replaced by warmth and affection I know that I said the right thing. I guess it doesn\'t really matter how it\'s said, so long as it is said? I realize now that I should have told him a long time ago. Oh well, I plan on making up for lost time tonight. In a lot of ways.

\"I love you too Shayne.\" I can barely hear him because his voice is choked with tears. I usually hate to see him cry, but tears of happiness don\'t really count do they? Besides, very soon he\'s going to be too distracted to cry now that I\'ve heard what I needed to hear. \"You don\'t know how much I\'ve wanted to say that. To hear it from you. But, it\'s because I love you that I didn\'t want you to know ...\"

I don\'t give him a chance to finish what he\'s saying, instead I catch him up in my arms and fling his lithe little body over my shoulder. Then I give him a smack on his perky bottom for good measure as I start up the stairs, completely ignoring his undignified squeals as I head for the bedroom.

\"Stop squirming, I know you don\'t really want me to let you go. So hush unless you want to be spanked.\" Come to think of it, that sounds like a good idea. I give him another good natured smack on the ass, telling him, \"That\'s for making me worry.\"

I guess he\'s decided that he\'s in a good position to return the favor because I suddenly feel a matching whack to my back side. \"And that\'s for treating me like a sack of potatoes! Now put me down!\"

\"Alright.\" If he wants to be put down then I suppose I should do as he asks, right? We\'ve reached our destination anyway, so I unceremoniously dump him in the center of the bed and stand back to laugh. He looks so cute, yet so pissed at the same time. I hadn\'t known you could be both simultaneously until just now. I guess it\'s true, you really do learn something new every day!

\"Shayne!\"

\"What? You said you wanted to be put down, so I put you down. What\'s wrong with that?\"

He doesn\'t seem pleased with my good mood and he continues to glare at me as I stand back to take a good look at my prize. Oh well, he\'ll be in a better mood soon enough. I\'ll see to that. The only question is, where to start? It only takes me a second to make up my mind ...

\"I hate socks.\"

\"What?\" Well, that changes his attitude. Now he\'s confused instead of angry, and he\'s looking at me like I\'ve completely lost my marbles. Maybe I have. Or maybe I never had them in the first place. Doesn\'t really matter either way, so I don\'t spend too much time worrying about it.

\"I said ... I. Hate. Socks.\" I move to the end of the bed and take hold of one of his feet, holding it up to eye level and pointing at it with my other hand. \"Socks like these.\" With that I yank off the offending garment and fling it over my shoulder. \"Much better.\"

The revealed flesh is too tempting for me to pass up. It\'s not like I have a foot fetish or anything, but there\'s something about the delicate arch of his foot and the gentle curve of his ankle. I turn my head to the side and let my tongue run along his instep, delighting in the sudden intake of breath I can hear from Alexis\' suddenly still form. Hearing no objections I continue to explore the skin in front of me, suckling at his ankle as I run my hands back and forth along his calf. When I run my blunt nails against the back of his knee he shivers uncontrollably, so I do it over and over again until he breathlessly utters my name.

\"Shayne?\"

\"Hmm?\"

\"Shayne. Stop, Shayne. We shouldn\'t ...\" I don\'t want to hear his protests, I know he doesn\'t mean any of it, so I abandon his leg in favor of silencing him with a kiss. It feels like it\'s been forever and a day since I\'ve felt those petal soft lips against mine and I waste no time in devouring them. I had always held myself back before, thinking that it was best for both of us not to let things go too far, but not anymore. I try to pour all of my longing and need, as well as love and affection, into the kiss in hopes of permanently silencing his objections, and I\'m delighted to feel him responding in time. I can hear a low moan beginning in the back of his throat and it encourages me to go on, but as I run my tongue along the seam of his satiny lips seeking entrance I suddenly feel him pushing forcefully at my chest and I have no choice but to back away a little.

I know that he wants to talk, probably to tell me all of the reasons why he feels this isn\'t a good idea, but when I look down at his flushed and panting form on my bed I can\'t help but be entranced. I find the graceful line of his neck to be particularly enticing and I decide to concentrate on that for a while instead of letting Lexi talk me out of anything. I lean down to kiss and nip my way along the path leading from his shoulder to his ear, finally stopping to suckle at the sensitive spot right behind his left ear. Alexis makes the most erotic little whimpers when I do this, so I decide to center all of my attentions there for a while in hopes of drawing more of those sounds from him. When he suddenly pushes weakly at my chest again I choose not to completely abandon my pursuits, instead choosing to simply move my mouth up from behind his ear to lick slowly around the shell before blowing warmly on the newly moistened skin and purring, \"What can I do for you Lexi?\"

While waiting for him to answer me I take the time to luxuriate in the smell of his hair so very near to my nose. It smells like a mixture of strawberries and vanilla. It\'s partially from the shampoos and body washes he\'s so fond of, but mostly it\'s Lexi\'s unique natural scent. He\'s naturally sweet inside and out, and that\'s one of the many things I\'ve come to love about him. It\'s also one of the reasons that any argument he gives me is a loosing one, but he doesn\'t need to know that right now. If he wants to try and talk me out of this then let him go ahead and try, I\'ll have him seeing the error of his ways by the time the night\'s over.

\"Shayne, we can\'t do this. There are things you don\'t know about me ... about what I am ...\" I can already hear his voice wavering, as if he doesn\'t really want to tell me at all but he feels like he has to. I know he wants this too, I only need to convince him I know what I\'m getting myself into. I just hope I can hold out that long. This conversation would probably have gone better if we had been having it downstairs, seated across from each other at the kitchen table, but it\'s too late for that now. Besides, this is way more fun!

\"Go ahead ... take your time.\" If he wants to talk then I\'ll let him, but it doesn\'t mean I have to sit still while he does it. As he tries to form the words he wants me to hear I make my way back along the path I had taken to get to his ear, running my lips and tongue back down along the silky soft skin of his neck as I allow my hands to run smoothly back and forth along his arms. I have to chuckle at the sudden gasp I hear from my crimson haired daemon as I bite gently at his collarbone. Seems like I\'ve found a sensitive spot. I take advantage of this knowledge and proceed to suck and bite at the spot until he actually arches off of the bed. \"Hmm, you seem a little distracted. Is anything wrong Lexi?\" He\'s trying to glare up at me, but it\'s a halfhearted attempt at best. \"Wasn\'t there something you were going to say to me?\"

Whatever he would have said in response is cut off by another sudden gasp as I allow my hands to slide up along his sides and under his shirt, finally coming to rest palms down high up on his chest. \"Your hands are cold!\"

\"Oh, is that all you wanted to tell me?\" I ask playfully. \"You should have said something earlier.\"

\"You\'re evil.\" He says dejectedly.

I only arch my brows at this comment as I allow my thumbs to begin slowly flicking back and forth across his rapidly hardening nipples. Apparently he\'s trying to take a new approach, obviously not wanting to encourage me any further, because he attempts to remain completely silent as I continue to gently abuse his delicate flesh. He\'s nearly successful too, at least until I slide his shirt up and replace my fingers with my mouth. I slide my closed lips across first one nipple and then the other, before finally taking one rosy bud into my mouth and sucking. When that doesn\'t get me the response I want I begin to lightly flick my tongue back and forth across the tiny bit of flesh between my lips until Alexis finally groans and calls out my name.

I continue to torment him by running my tongue back and forth between the twin nubs on his chest until he is a panting, writhing mess beneath me, but it\'s not enough. I\'m suddenly annoyed by the continued presence of our clothing and I reach up to pull his shirt the rest of the way off, tossing it somewhere over my shoulder in the process. It\'s not like he\'ll be needing it any time soon, so who really cares? I\'m in the process of removing my own shirt when I hear Alexis\' quiet plea of, \"Please Shayne.\" I\'m about to say something teasing in response, but when I look down at him I see a desperation in his eyes that has nothing to do with desire and I worry that maybe I\'ve gotten a bit too carried away. If he wants to talk so badly then I guess I should let him. I\'ve waited six months for this, what\'s a few more minuets?

\"Alright, I\'ll listen.\" I roll off of him and position myself beside him, waiting for him to have his say. It occurs to me suddenly that maybe I should hear it directly from Alexis instead of trusting the vampire\'s word. He seemed to be telling the truth, but I\'d hate to make a mistake this late in the game.

It takes him a moment to get his breathing back under control, but finally he turns to face me and when he does he has a very serious expression on his face. He also looks a little scared, which I guess is understandable considering the importance of what we\'re about to discuss. I\'m immediately glad that I already know what he\'s so worried about, because if I hadn\'t known then that look alone would have put me on edge.

\"Shayne, I love you, please believe that. But I ... if we were to .... we can\'t ...\"

\"You really are adorable when you\'re flustered, you know that?\"

\"Shayne, this is serious!\"

\"I never said it wasn\'t.\" I can see how upset this is making him, and I decide to try and help him out. \"I know about the Tru-Bond, if that\'s what you\'re worried about.\"

His eyes grow ridiculously large before he breaks into tears and starts to yell, \"You bastard! I\'ve been trying to tell you this whole time and you already knew?! You let me worry over nothing ...\" His words may be harsh, but he\'s smiling through the tears and his words are being distorted by relieved laughter.

\"Is that all you wanted to tell me?\"

He doesn\'t answer my question, instead choosing to lean forward to seal our lips together in a demanding kiss. This time he doesn\'t hold anything back, and when I attempt to deepen the kiss he eagerly complies. As I slip my tongue into his mouth I can taste his natural sweetness mingled with the saltiness of his tears, and it\'s an absolutely perfect mixture. Intoxicating even. We continue to greedily devour each other until the need for air forces us apart, which is when I sit back to take a good look at the beauty in my bed. I don\'t want to, but I decide to give him one last chance to back out. If he doesn\'t do it now, bond or not, I won\'t ever be able to let him go. I want us both to be completely sure.

\"So, what do you say? Could you put up with me for ... oh, I don\'t know ... an eternity?\"

\"Hmm, I don\'t know.\"

\"You don\'t know?!\" If it weren\'t for the devious smirk on his lips I would be kinda worried right now, but I know that look. The sparkle in his eyes gives him away. So, he wants to play does he? Fine by me.

\"Yeah, I\'m not really sure. I mean, you can be kind of difficult to deal with some times.\"

\"Difficult?\"

\"Stubborn too.\"

\"Difficult and stubborn? Anything else?\"

\"Well,\" he takes a minuet to consider before saying, \"I\'m not entirely sure you\'re completely sane either.\"

I have to stop and think about that one. He might just be right. I\'m so caught up pondering this that I fail to notice what he\'s up to until I feel something rubbing enticingly between my legs. I look down to see that it\'s his foot. The one still encased in it\'s little blue sock at that! He\'s applying just enough pressure to arouse, but not enough to offer any sort of relief. It\'s a delicious torture and he knows it.

\"You little tease.\" I manage to say, although breathing is suddenly somewhat difficult. It feels like it\'s been forever since anyone\'s touched me like this, and if he\'s not careful Alexis may send me over the edge before we even get all of our clothes off. I\'d never live that down. That thought alone helps me to regain some sense of self-control.

\"Payback\'s a bitch Shayne.\" He looks so innocent when he says it, but that doesn\'t stop me from grabbing at the foot between my legs and yanking it up in the air. I give his ass a playful smack before quickly yanking his shorts off and tossing them over my shoulder.

\"My, my ... no underwear Lexi? I\'m shocked!\" Okay, actually I\'m really pleased to find that he goes commando. Not to mention aroused as hell. Although he doesn\'t need to know that right now.

\"Yeah right.\" He\'s looking challengingly at me even as a very becoming blush is spreading across his cheeks. Not that I can think of any reason for him to be blushing because he\'s absolutely perfect. I\'ve seen him naked before, but this is the first time I\'ve ever allowed myself to just look. Look I do, too, because the site in front of me is breathtakingly beautiful. And all mine.

I guess I\'ve stared too long because Alexis is starting to look worried. \"Is something wrong? Do you not like ...\" I don\'t let him finish the thought, instead leaning in to steal another kiss from those petal soft lips. I\'m not sure that I\'ll ever be able to get enough of his kisses. Not that I\'m bothered in the least. Judging by the way he\'s moaning and kissing me back Alexis doesn\'t mind either. Perfect.

In no time at all I have Alexis pinned beneath me and he\'s thrown his arms around my neck and is holding me close. All of his reservations seem to have gone out the window and he\'s rocking his deliciously nude body unabashedly against mine, breathlessly calling out my name each time we\'re forced to part for air. I\'m amazed to find that he\'s even more sensitive than I\'d expected, and he whimpers excitedly with every caress of my fingers against his satiny skin.

\"Shayne?\" I think he\'s been calling my name for a little while, but I can\'t be blamed for not hearing him. He just has this effect on me that causes me to be endlessly distracted. Not that I really mind. \"Shayne? Are you listening to me?\"

\"Hmm? Yeah, sorry babe. What is it?\" I\'m still laying feather light kisses across his neck and shoulders even as I say this, but at least he has some of my attention. Partial attention is better than nothing, right?

\"Your jeans ... they\'re a little rough. Do you think you could take them off?\"

\"My ... Oh! Yeah, sure.\" I hadn\'t meant to get quite so carried away, and thinking about how delicate his skin is and how rough the fabric is of my jeans I suddenly feel a little guilty. \"Sorry.\"

\"It\'s okay, I just ... hey, you made fun of me but you\'re not wearing anything under your pants either! Hypocrite.\"

I have to smile at that, \"Yeah, I know. It\'s just so fun to tease you that I couldn\'t help myself.\" I also can\'t help myself as I reach out to touch the tempting sight in front of me, running my hands from the smooth plains of his chest down to his slender hips before starting back up again, marveling all the while at the silky texture of his alabaster skin. Or when my mouth is drawn almost magnetically down towards the deliciously sensitive flesh of his hip to lick and suck at it until Alexis begins to tremble with pleasure, calling my name the whole while. Deciding that I like hearing my name on his lips like that I start to search for more ways, better ways, to get him to do it some more. I want him hoarse from shouting my name by the time the night\'s over.

Flicking my eyes to the side I see exactly what I\'m looking for, and the breathy moan I receive when I rub my cheek against Lexi\'s straining erection tells me that I\'ve chosen correctly. He\'s as hard as I am and when he spreads his legs invitingly I oblige by settling in between them, more than ready to pleasure my suddenly needy little daemon. The glistening droplets of moisture that have begun to gather at the tip of his cock call to me and I suddenly wonder if they\'re as sweet as the rest of him. Well, now seems like the perfect time to find out. With that I let my tongue flick teasingly against his slit, lapping up the liquid that is, as it turns out, just as sweet as expected. Maybe that old sugar and spice rhyme isn\'t about the make-up of little girls at all? Not that I really care as I take the tip of his organ into my mouth and begin to greedily suckle at it, hoping to draw more of the delicious taste from him. When Alexis arches his back and tangles his hands in my hair, pushing at my head as he whimpers and calls out my name, I eagerly wrap my lips around him and take him in further, not stopping until I feel my nose brushing against the hot flesh of his abdomen. I allow Lexi to set the rhythm, pushing his cock into and out of my mouth as our moans mingle in the air around us until I feel him beginning to tense beneath me and I\'m forced to pull away.

\"Not yet kitten.\"

\"Shayne.\" He\'s so cute when he whines, and it\'s almost enough to set me back to my task, but I have other plans for Alexis right now.

\"Maybe later, sweetheart. If you\'re good ...\"

\"Oh, I am good.\" He interrupts with a sly smile, wiggling his hips suggestively, \"So how about now and later?\"

\"Demanding little minx, aren\'t you?\" I ask, but I lean down anyway to swipe my tongue along his length before I begin suckling softly at his balls, running my hands up and down his quivering thighs the whole while. I can feel how tightly wound he is and I know that if I don\'t hurry things along he\'ll be going without me. That\'s not how I want it to end, not this time, so I slide my hands down from his thighs to cup the firm cheeks of the most perfect ass I\'ve ever seen. I allow my fingers to play along the dividing line of those twin globes, delving deeper until ...

\"What the hell? Lexi?\"

\"WHY are you stopping again?!\" He sounds so desperate it\'s almost funny, but I\'m worried that if I laugh right now he might just strangle me. Not that I would really blame him, but I can think of a few things I\'d rather do before I die. Including having wildly passionate sex with the firey beauty currently glaring daggers at me, so I choose to keep my mouth shut.

\"Sorry, just wondering why you\'re wet as ...\"

\"Carnelians are self-lubricating, now get on with it already. Please Shayne, I don\'t think I can wait much longer ...\"

\"Self-lubricating?!\"

\"Pleasure slaves, remember?\"

\"Oh.\" Well, that could come in handy. \"Then I guess you wouldn\'t mind if I do this ...\" and I slip a finger into him without warning. I receive a guttural moan in response, and I choose to take it as a resounding yes.

He\'s so tight that I nearly cum from just the thought of being inside that deliciously constricting heat, and after only a few thrusts of my finger I\'m forced to silence Alexis with a bruising kiss or risk being overwhelmed by the erotic sounds issuing from his mouth. As I thrust a second digit into him I mimic the motions with my tongue, plunging both into and out of him in a steady rhythm designed to drive him just as mad as he\'s making me. When he suddenly arches violently off of the bed and screams out wordlessly I figure I might have succeeded.

\"Guess I found what I was looking for? And here I was beginning to wonder if daemons even had prostates.\" How I can still be making jokes at a time like this is beyond me, but at least Lexi seems to be beyond caring right about now.

\"... found one of them at least ...\"

\"One? What do you mean?\"

\"Carnelian\'s have three. Now would you please ...\"

\"Three?! Hell, if I had three prostates I might become a bottom. Permanently. What does it ...\" I don\'t get a chance to finish asking my question because Alexis begins to impatiently thrust his hips, alternating between impaling himself on my fingers and rocking upwards to rub our cocks together enticingly. I get his message loud and clear, less talk more sex. I have to agree too, we\'ve both waited way too long for this and I think it\'s time we finally give in to our desires. There\'s nothing stopping us anymore.

I enter him swiftly, leaning in to claim his lips at the same time that I claim his body, and it\'s so much more than I could have imagined. He\'s hot, and slick, and oh so tight. Like a velvet covered vice encasing my manhood, pulling me deeper with each thrust into his welcoming embrace. I can feel his blunt nails scraping along my spine as his body arches beneath me and all I can think is that this is heaven.

I had wanted our first coupling to be slow and tender, but already I can feel the heat building deep in my groin as my climax draws near. Lexi has his legs wrapped tightly around my waist and is meeting me thrust for thrust, and I fear that it will be my undoing. Then again, from the way that Lexi is writhing beneath me and shouting my name I know that he\'s in a similar state. It doesn\'t matter, so long as we fall over the edge together.

\"Shayne ...\"

\"I love you.\"

Amazingly my words prove to be his undoing, and he brings me along in the process. As his body grips mine in a near painful embrace I also begin to feel a strange tightening in my chest. It\'s like my heart is being wrapped in ever tightening coils of rope while simultaneously having an electrical current run through it. It\'s nearly painful, but in a highly pleasurable way. Maybe that means I\'ve finally become a masochist? I don\'t really care, because as strange as the sensations are it somehow feels completely right. It leaves me with a feeling of completion, like without even knowing it I wasn\'t really whole until just now, and I know without asking that it\'s the Tru-Bond. Looking down at Lexi I can tell that he\'s experiencing the same things and I hold him close as we ride out the last waves of pleasure together.

Perfect. It\'s the only thing running through my mind right now. I feel perfect. My partner is perfect. Life is perfect. Everything is just perfect because there is a devastatingly beautiful, completely naked, crimson haired boy lying beside me. He\'s snuggled tightly against me, his silky soft skin covered in sweet and the remnants of our lovemaking, every inch of him brushing tantalizingly against my body. I look down at his lovely face, gentle and unguarded, his glittering ruby eyes filled with trust and love, and all I can think is that this is perfect. Before meeting this alluring creature, an angel in a devil\'s guise, I never used to think I hate my life. Now, thanks to him, I never will again.

THE END
