Vampires Find Love In Winter For A Reason

"I suppose..." I mumbled, looking down at the ground. It bothered me that I was standing next to a boy, a boy that I liked, knowing that he had just killed and drank the blood of a living human being.

"Emilia" he said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder, "I\'m sorry. I can\'t help it. It\'s who I am. I\'m....." he sighed, "I\'m a vampire." He removed his hand and turned around. I could barely here him mumble, "I guess you\'ve finally taken heed to my warning."

Are you afraid? You should be.

"Cale...." I looked up and placed my hands on his shoulders, "Cale. Look at me."

He turned around and looked deep into my eyes with his. His icy blue eyes should have made me freeze in place like they always did, but this time, they were different. They were ashamed. He was ashamed.

"Cale. I\'m not afraid of you, I already told you that." I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his chest. He placed his hands on my back and pulled me closer to him.

"Emilia. Emilia, it\'s all right to be scared. You\'re only human. Just as human as the humans I feed off of."

"That\'s not very romantic of you, Cale." I said with my face pressed against his chest, my voice muffled against his shirt.

He laughed and looked down at my face.

"You expect a vampire to be romantic? A blood-sucking, human killing beast to be romantic?"

"You don\'t look very beastly." I said, looking up at him.

"Oh, that\'s a blow to my masculinity." Cale said, smiling.

I smiled right back. "You look more like a teddy bear from where I\'m standing. You\'re soft and cuddly like one, too."

"A teddy bear?!" he shouted, pulling me to the ground.

I giggled all the way to the floor. "Yes! A big, cuddly, teddy bear!"

"Am I warm like a teddy bear?" he asked, pressing his icy cold hand to my cheek.

I screamed and giggled, jerking my face away from his hand.

"No, I\'m not, am I?! How about this?" he asked, putting his ice hand on my tummy.

I screamed louder this time, rolling over so that my back was facing him.

"Well, well Emilia. I\'ve never noticed how cute your butt is."

I gasped and rolled over again, shielding my butt from his view.

He placed his cold hands on my hips and I wriggled in place; he was too cold.

"Am I still a teddy bear?" he asked.

"No!" I screamed.

"Am I a beast yet?"

"No!" I shouted again defiantly.

"How about now?" he placed his cold cheek on my tummy. It didn\'t matter that he was cold, all that mattered was how close he was to me. The very thought shocked me.

"Y-yes!" I screamed.

He lifted his face and looked right at me smiling. I pulled my shirt down so he wouldn\'t be tempted to do anything rash, and sat up, looking at him. My breathing was heavy, and I told myself it was just because I was wriggling around. I wasn\'t convinced. I knew I was breathing heavily because of Cale.

"You like me." he said.

"No." I said. I couldn\'t say more than that.

"I can hear your heart beat fast."

"Of course, you were just holding me to the floor."

"Exactly. I was holding you to the floor. You like me."

"You wish." I said.

"I don\'t have to wish. I can read minds."

I grabbed my head with my hands. "Don\'t read my mind!" I screamed.

Cale just laughed. "That won\'t stop me from anything. And you only don\'t want me to read your mind because you know that you like me."

"Doesn\'t mean you have to read my mind."

Cale stared wide eyed at me. "You do like me! I knew it!"

I covered my face with my hands and shook my head.

"Emilia, don\'t be embarrassed. I\'m quite a catch, if I do say so myself."

I took my hands from my face and looked at him. "It doesn\'t mean anything. I still have a boyfriend, remember?"

"That\'s where you\'re wrong. Love means everything. Besides, your boyfriend is a jerk. He hasn\'t even came to look for you. He must not care if another guy just happens to sweep you off your feet."

"Are you saying you are going to sweep me off my feet?"

"Yep." He said, standing up, "And take you right to my bedroom."

He pulled me to my feet and into his arms, and started walking down the hall.

"Wait. Cale, what are you doing?"

"I\'m taking you to my room, silly. What else?"

"Why?"

"To suck your blood."

My eyes widened.

"Oh, come on, Emilia. I was joking, did you really believe me?" he asked, walking down the stairs with me in his arms.

"Well, why are we going downstairs?"

"You\'ll see."

"What\'ll I see?" I asked, teasingly.

He looked down at me and smiled. By now, we were already in front of his door. I had forgotten how fast vampires were, after all, I hadn\'t seen anyone around me in the park on that night I was captured. He kicked the door open and dropped me on the bed. He kicked the door closed and grinned at me, licking his lips. I wasn\'t sure whether to be scared or excited, after all, he had either wanted to seduce me, or bite me, or both. So I just leaned back at him, not taking my eyes off of him, and licked my upper lip, giving him the same smirk he gave me. In an instant, he was on top of me, nibbling on my neck. For some odd reason, I wasn\'t scared, I was turned on. "You gonna bite me?" I whispered teasingly.

"I\'m trying not too." He whispered back, his breathing heavy, "But it\'s hard. You smell so good." He continued nipping on my neck, harder this time. He hit my spot and I arched my back forward. He moaned and pulled my face to his. My lips were greeted by his forcefully. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my leg around his waist. He grabbed my leg and pulled me closer; I could feel him harden against me through his jeans. I licked his bottom lip and he let in a sharp breath; I could tell I was torturing him. I nibbled on his lip and he let go of my leg, letting his hands wander up my waist to my chest. His hands slipped up my shirt and over my nipples. I moaned in ecstasy, surrendering as he slipped my shirt over my head. He resumed nibbling on my neck, but his nibbles soon turned into kisses that descended down to my collarbone, and down between my breasts. I cried out, as if I was being tortured, and slid to his waist, pulling his shirt over his head. I gazed upon his firm chest and let my hands roam. My fingertips tingled in ecstasy and I felt his hard chest beneath my hands. I looked up at him in wonder and he smirked, looking pleased with himself. I bit my lip, grinning, and proceeded to unbutton his pants. He raised his eyebrows, as if surprised to see me go so far. I pulled them down, along with his boxers, to his knees, and let him get the rest. I let my hands wander over his naked hips and to his navel, then proceeded to move down; I could feel defined lines of muscle leaning down to his groin. I shivered and brought my hands to his shoulders. He moved down and brought his hands to my waistband and slipped my pants down over my knees, my ankles, and down to the floor. He hovered over my legs and I could feel his breath on my inner thigh. He brought his lips to my skin and planted kisses up my thigh. I arched my hips forward and moaned as he got closer to my core. He smiled and slid his hands up my thighs to my hips. "Ready?" he asked.

I bit my lip and closed my eyes, then nodded. It wasn\'t like I was a virgin, I had slept with Jack many times, it was just that Jack had never seduced me like this before. It was exhilarating. At first I felt pressure, then warmth, then pleasure. We kept a steady rhythm, and I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn\'t. I was too delighted to do anything. I moaned, and because of it, Cale moaned. Our moist bodies rubbed against each other, dancing with one another.

I awoke under Cale\'s blankets with Cale\'s arms wrapped around my waist. I could feel his chest pressed against my back.

"Good morning, sunshine." he whispered into my ear.

"It\'s morning?" I asked. I felt him shrug behind me.

"It\'s 2 AM, but morning, anyways. Ready to get up?"

I turned around in his grip and rested my head against my chest.

"What\'s wrong?" he asked.

"I don\'t know. I have all these feelings."

"Tell me. I\'ve got all the time in the world."

I felt my heart sink. The whole time, well, almost the whole time, I had forgotten that Cale was a vampire. I was foolish. I had given a part of my heart to someone who wasn\'t capable to give me part of theirs in return. I turned away from him and forced my head into a pillow, trying to muffle my sobs.

"Emi, please. Please don\'t cry. Tell me what\'s wrong."

"I have a boyfriend, Cale! I cheated on him, I cheated on him with you, a vampire. Someone who can never love me back!"

"You....you love me?" he asked, confused.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"I\'ve wished so hard to hear you say that, Emi. I love you more than you can imagine."

I buried my head in his chest and let my tears come. He sat up and pulled me against him.

"I love you." he said, repeating himself over and over again, "I love you."
