She gave me the cutest pout I have ever seen, so I leaned in and sucked her bottom lip into my mouth and bit it gently before kissing her.

Willow finally gave in and removed her legs from my hips. My c.o.c.k throbbed to be inside of her and I knew I was going to end up with the worst blue b.a.l.l.s but I didn't have a choice.

I soaped up my hands and stood behind Willow so I could wash her back for her. She lifted her hair and tied it in a knot on the top of her head as I worked my hands over her shoulders and down along her chest.

My hands grazed her nipples as I worked my way down to her stomach. She had a single freckle on her unblemished skin right beside her bellyb.u.t.ton, which I thought was hot as h.e.l.l.

It had been so long since I spent an intimate moment with anyone. Not just s.e.x, but something as simple as a shower or even just lying in bed holding them. I'm not the cuddle type; I don't do romance. I don't even believe in love, but something about Willow made me want to.

"What are you thinking, beautiful?" I asked as she stood there smiling and staring at the tiled wall in front of us like she was lost in thought.

"You're the one with the freaky brain voodoo c.r.a.p, you tell me."

Was she on crack?

"Willow, I'm not a mind reader. I'm a vampire. There's sort of a big difference."

I watched her smile, then break into a laugh. I wasn't sure what was so funny, but she looked beautiful while doing it.

"Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds? 'I'm a vampire!' like seriously, who says that? Are you sure you're really a vampire? Maybe it's in your head. I haven't seen you burst into flames when the sun is up and I haven't seen you sparkle in the sun either so-"

"Vampires don't f.u.c.king sparkle!" I cut her off with a growl which only made her laugh harder.

Was she serious right now? She's comparing me to a glittered up Twinkie and she finds it funny? The worst thing the world has done is accept Twilight as the modern day view of a vampire.

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing wrong with sparkling if you do. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend you know?"

"I'll go out any buy you any diamond ring you want and you can hate it, love it, and be best friends with it, or have a portable frienamy; but do not, under any circ.u.mstances, ever compare me to a glitter fairy with bad hair."

Willow attempted to make a very stern expression with her face, but failed adorably.

"I'll have you know that Twilight is an amazing book, and the movies were kick-a.s.s despite what anyone says, thank you very much!"

"Sure. Whatever floats your boat, cupcake."

She stuck her tongue out at me like a child so I reached down and slapped her a.s.s again. I was rewarded with a yelp and an attempted slap of my face, but I caught her hand and kissed her palm instead.

I could tell she was doing everything she could not to smile because that would mean I won.

"Let's go eat." I said, and then kissed the top of her head before turning off the water.

I stepped out of the shower and secured a towel around my waist then held one out for her. Willow twirled into it like a little ballerina, and then headed out to the bedroom. I followed behind her, watching her hips move with every step.

The girl might not like to admit it, but she had some killer curves and a body most girls would die for.

It wasn't until I was watching her clean up the mess of clothes from her suitcase we had knocked over earlier that I realized I didn't have anything in this room to change into; all my clothes were in my room.

"So, cupcake. Do you plan on making me come all the way down the hall every night for a sleep over? Or do you want me to help you unpack in my room after we eat?"

"Is this your way of asking me to move in with you?"

"I think it's a little late for that sweetheart. I kidnapped you, remember?"

"Touche." She said then kissed me and shooed me out the door.

It wasn't exactly a yes, but it wasn't a no either. I made my way down the hall towards my room so I could throw something on. Tristan and Amelia were both standing outside my door when I got there.

"So I take it this means she isn't leaving?" Tristan asked with a knowing grin.

"I sure as h.e.l.l hope you know what you're doing here Tobias. If you hurt her, so help me G.o.d, I will make the rest of our eternal existence a living h.e.l.l for you!"

Amelia poked her finger into my chest with her warning, then turned and walked off. I knew she wasn't jealous because she couldn't give a d.a.m.n about me since the day we were married. It was nice to see this side of her though; a side that was a decent person and cared about someone other than herself.

Tristan shrugged his shoulders and followed after her. I finally made it into my room and pulled on a pair of boxers, pajama bottoms and a wife beater.

One of the best perks about being a guy is the ability to be ready in less than five minutes. Even my hair took no work; I ran my hand though it and it was done. It wasn't very long and would dry decently.

When I got back to Willow's room she was in a simple blue lace sun dress that hung to her knees, but she looked absolutely stunning. Her hair was down and she was blow drying it as I walked in.

"Do you know how to do a French braid?" She asked me while looking at my reflection in the mirror.

"Do I look like I grew a v.a.g.i.n.a in the last ten minutes?"

Willow rolled her eyes at me then turned her hair dryer off. I went to give her a kiss but she walked right past me and out the door. The h.e.l.l? Where is she going? I followed her down the hall to Tristan and Amelia's room.

I rolled my eyes. Not even a day after being friends and Amelia was stealing my girl from me. Tristan and I went downstairs as soon as the girls got to talking about hair and whatever the h.e.l.l else girls obsess over.

I grabbed two beers from the fridge and handed one to Tristan. I cracked mine open and chugged half the bottle. Tristan was staring at me like I had just bit the head off a bat.

"What?"

"You just drank something that wasn't blood. Or water."

It took me a moment to realize what he was saying. I looked at the bottle of beer again in disbelief. Usually anything other than blood felt like I was trying to choke down acid, but tonight I actually tasted the beer.

I was waiting for my body to reject the liquid, but it didn't even so much as cause a hiccup. I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face as I took another drink.

This was amazing. Truly amazing. I haven't really tasted anything in over three hundred years, so I grabbed an apple from the counter and bit into it. I regretted it instantly as it practically choked me. I spat the pieces into the sink and rinsed my mouth out under the tap.

"What the f.u.c.k, dude?"

I filled my mouth and gargled again without even answering him. I had no idea what the h.e.l.l was happening to me. Things have been weird since the day Willow arrived. I sort of gave up trying to figure it out.

The burning in my throat was drawing out the hunger inside of me. I could feel it rising to the surface trying to take over. I gripped onto the side of the counter trying to force it back.

The girls were laughing when they came into the room. I could barely make out the sound as my senses were going in and out of focus.

"Tobias?"

When Willow called out to me I could hear everything that was going on behind me but I had no control over my body.

"Willow, Stay back!"

"No, let me go!"

"He's not himself; you really shouldn't be here right now. Mia, take her upstai- Ow! Son of a b.i.t.c.h!"

I felt Willows arms against my back while Tristan continued to curse in the back ground. I turned towards her, my hunger raging inside of me. I could hear the blood pumping through her veins and the hunger inside of me wanted nothing more than for me to sink my teeth into her neck.

I turned around and instantly had her pinned to the island in the middle of the kitchen. Amelia tried to launch herself at me, but Tristan caught her.

"Wait." He whispered to her.

I looked into Willow's eyes. Although the hunger was driving me to feed, her eyes seemed to keep me in my place. I could feel my body tremble with the struggle. Pain exploded through my muscles. It was like one of those electro-shock machines were hooked up to me on full blast.

Willow ran her fingers through my hair with one hand and placed her other against my cheek.

"Come back to me, baby." Her plea touched every part of my soul before she kissed me.

Warmth spread through me as her kiss seemed to touch every part of me. The hunger was silenced instantly and I was filled with sweet liberation. Every nerve in my body felt like it was tingling as I regained control of myself.

I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her flush against me. The other hand tilted her chin up so I could deepen the kiss before pulling away.

"Thank you, cupcake." I whispered in relief.

I kissed her again, and again, and again all over her face. She was the most beautiful thing in the world and in that moment I would have done anything to make her happy.

"What the h.e.l.l just happened?" Tristan asked.

He and Amelia both stood there with expressions of shock and awe. I just shrugged my shoulders and kissed the top of Willows head.

"Seriously, what the h.e.l.l just happened?" Tristan asked again.

"I don't know." Was all I could say. It was the truth. I had no idea how Willow had this calming effect over me when nothing has helped since the day I was cursed.

CHAPTER TEN.

WILLOW.

We decided to order pizza instead of going out to eat tonight. It would be nice for the four of us to hang out without it being weird. Amelia and I picked the movie, much to the boy's horror. We decided to watch New Moon, the second film in the twilight saga.

Part of the reason we chose it was to irritate the guys since they seemed pretty touchy on the way vampires and werewolves were perceived in the story. We made it about half way through the movie before Tobias refused to watch anymore.

"I'm done. You can watch it all you want but I'd rather pluck my eyes out with a spoon."

"Oh come on brother, it wasn't that bad. I mean if you really think about it the way those wolves turn is pretty bad a.s.s. Complete bulls.h.i.t, but bad a.s.s none the less."

Amelia and I laughed as even Tristan was taking our side.

"I'll sprinkle glitter all over your a.s.s the next time there is a full moon. Let's see how funny you think it is to be seen as a supernatural dis...o...b..ll."

Amelia and I were dying. I couldn't see because there were tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Amelia couldn't even get up from her spot because of how much she was laughing.

Tobias rolled his eyes at us and left the room. Tristan smirked, and then took off after him. It took us a while, but Amelia and I finally sobered, and both our cheeks and sides were killing us.

I lay back down on the couch using Amelia as my leg rest since the guys had left. The movie would be over soon and if the boys didn't return by then we'd go track them down. I figured they probably went to get some drinks.

Tobias reminded me of a kid in a candy store when he found out he was able to drink alcohol again. Something so simple made him so happy, which made me ecstatic. He deserved some happiness.

I never really asked Tobias how long ago they were all cursed but since they were all immortal he's probably a lot older than twenty-six. I just realized that not only do I not know how old they were, but I didn't even know when his birthday was.

"Hey, Amelia. When is Tobias's birthday?"

"It was a few months ago. Why?"

"Oh, I was just wondering. He had a whole day of surprises for me on my birthday. I guess I just wanted to do something for him on his."

"Honey, when you become as old as we are, you don't really give a s.h.i.t about your birthday. It becomes just another day not worth celebrating."

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you all?"

Amelia glanced at me from across the couch. For a minute I thought she was going to get mad that I even asked but she surprised me with an answer.

"We have been cursed for three hundred and seventeen years. So I'm three hundred and forty. Tristan and Tobias are three hundred and forty three."

She seemed sad when she answered. I felt bad because I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to live that long. It seemed lonely to me.

Everyone you ever knew or met would grow up and get old, and eventually die while you remain unchanging. I didn't want to think about how hard it would be watching my little sister die of old age while I was still me. It broke my heart.

I wanted to say something to her to let her know I wished things could have been different for all of them but the words just wouldn't come to me. Anything I could think of in my head would sound pretty stupid out loud.

I let out a sign and tried to focus back on the movie which wasn't easy. I gave up when we heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen. Both of us sprang from our seats and rushed out of the room.

When we reached the kitchen we found Tristan lying on the ground. His body was in a very awkward position. Tristan showed up with arms full of chains and padlocks.

"What the f.u.c.k?" I asked in complete dismay.

"He's changing." Amelia and Tobias answered at the same time.

I was frozen in my place but Amelia rushed over to Tobias to help him try to hook the chains around Tristan's arms.

I had to cover my ears at the sound of bones breaking and Tristan's screaming. It sounding like someone was being tortured, and it wasn't pretty.
