Zera felt herself become even more self conscious when Zane walked into the tent. Sure, he'd seen her in the water when she was wearing her undergarments before, but now..... She had changed, and she was out of water- there was nothing to distort Zane's vision of her body.
She felt warmth crawl up her leg from where Zane's thigh touched hers, and she felt chills rise on her skin. She literally shivered when the bare skin of his arm wrapped around her waist. There was no dress there now. Nothing in the way of his hands when he wanted to grip her waist.
She let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding, her cheeks now as red as a rose. Her pulse had significantly quickened, and her heart was trying desperately to keep up with her mind. Thoughts racing, flying around, hitting against the walls of her skull like a sick game of pinball.
She bit her lip and looked up at Zane, so tempted to just completely forget about that request she made of not kissing. She was sure they could control themselves. Or at least she hoped they could. Well, they were doing a good job of self control right then. Zane wasn't grabbing at her, even though so much of her was exposed, and Zera wasn't trying to do anything, other than enjoy the warmth being passed to her, and trying not to let Zane see how he affected her, and doing a bad job at it.

Zane frowned as Zera shivered from his touch. Her reactions confused him. Shivers were for when you were cold, or scared. Was she either? Well, he certainly hoped that she wasn't scared of him anymore. And cold? ... Well, he was working on that one.
The vampire sighed as he caught Zera's red face in the corner of his eye. So, they were those kind of shivers? He bit his own lip, mirroring the girl. Her pulse was just taunting him. So, she allowed him to warm her up, under this blanket, with her new figure, and her pulse racing, but they couldn't even kiss?
Zane slowly drew circles with his thumb onto the girl's waist. It was an absentminded gesture, one he wasn't even thinking about as he did so. His mind was completely concentrated on not touching the girl. On not kissing her. Or not doing anything she might not like.
Zane pursed his lips, thinking of something to say. He felt as if this were an awkward silence. Was it? Should he say something? Well, if he couldn't kiss her, they should talk, right? Uhm...
"So... Do you feel very different in your, uh, new body?"

Zera kept her eyes forward. Had she looked anywhere else, she was afraid that it would be right at Zane's chiseled chest, and defined muscles. She'd be tempted to trace his tattoos, and then that would lead to kisses, and then kisses would lead to... something that Zera wasn't ready for.
She scooted closer to him as his thumb traced invisible circles on her waist. It was a small gesture that made her want to get closer to him. His touch left trails of sparking fire on her skin. Sparking fire that she wanted to have everywhere. She wanted to have his arms around her, and her face against his chest.
Her thoughts were broken, thankfully, when Zane spoke. She was thankful for the new noise. It had been rather quiet, and though while Zera hadn't thought of the silence as being uncomfortable, it was far from being wanted. She wanted anything but silence.
"Well.... I feel a little different. I mean, the changes all happened so quickly. I'll get used to it after time, Zane," Zera said, putting her head on his shoulder, and putting her hand across his back, dragging her fingernails lightly up and down his spine.

Zane gently nibbled on his lip as Zera scooted closer to him. As much as he wanted to get closer to her, which was a freaking lot, he didn't like that she was right next to him. He was that close. He could just lean over and make his claim on her physical. If only he could just kiss her once.... But no, she didn't want that.
"Of course you will," Zane said with assurance. "You're one of the bravest people I know. I mean, you even put up with me and what I am."
Zane said the last part jokingly, though it was something that had been nagging on him forever. He could hurt her so easily. She had seen that. So, how was she not afraid of him? And why wasn't she cowering in fear from him when he touched her? Everything in her being should have rejected him... Yet, she didn't.
The vampire shivered as Zera ran her fingers up his back. Right on the spine. He could feel the goosebumps slowly raising on the skin where her hand had touched. Is that what he had been lowered to? Getting goosebumps from a simple touch from his human? Well, he wouldn't have it any other way.

Zera caught Zane's shiver as she drug her fingers up and down his spine. The skin there was becoming tinged with goosebumps, Zera noted. So she had the exact same effect on him that he had on her, didn't she? It was an interesting thought. That she could do this to him.
But they hadn't even put a name to their feelings. Was it physical attraction, and nothing more, or was it something more than just a surface-focused attraction. Zera had attracted several princes before, but they had only wanted her for her ti
tle. Virtually, all she was to them would be the person that gave birth to the heir of the throne.
She had brushed all of them off, not wanting to be married to some shallow idiot with no thoughts of love. She rested her hand on the side of Zane's rib cage, her arm draping across his back. Her thumb rubbed the skin there gently as she put her head on his shoulder.
His words caught her off guard.
They almost made her angry.
"Zane, I don't 'put up' with you. I enjoy being around you. You're nice. You're caring. You have your quirks, but I have mine, too. Plus, you're the only man that I know of that would support me in my current situation. Any other man on this planet would sell me back to my father so that I could die in a heart beat if they knew what all I'd been through. You've helped me." She pulled her head off of his shoulder.
Ah, screw the rule of no kissing.
If Zane kissed her, she wouldn't give a damn.

Zane was extremely surprised by Zera's response. If she really meant what she said, he was the happiest man on earth. She could enjoy his company, despite of what he was. She could accept him even though of his past. She could be with him... Except she couldn't.
Zane sighed at the thought. He... wanted to be with her, but couldn't. He could change her, like the Witch has said, but that was a decision he would never let her make. He never wanted her to be subjected to his lifestyle.
"Zera," Zane said, leaning down and putting his cheek on the top of the girl's head. "You're the most amazing person I've ever met. I'm glad I have you by my side."
Zane paused and pressed a soft kiss on her forhead, below her hairline.
"And I think I'm falling for you." |

Zera closed her eyes as Zane pressed his cheek on top of her head. She could feel the warmth of the side of his face seeping through her hair. He was so warm. It was intoxicating how warm he was. She wanted to just wrap her arms and legs around him and cling to him like a leech when she was cold.
As he spoke, she let her cheeks turn a light shade of pink. If anybody complimented her, she would blush. She probably never would shake that habit. Though, it wasn't annoying, and Zera didn't mind having that particular habit, really. It was much better than nail-biting or hair-chewing.
As he kissed just short of her hairline, Zera felt her eyes fling open when he spoke.
Falling for her.
Falling for her.
She had always wanted to say smart, yet sweet things to people who said that. But she found herself speechless. So she wasn't the only one with those odd feelings brewing in her stomach. It felt like she'd been fed a bunch of live butterflies, and they were fluttering around, trying to find a way out of her stomach.
After a few moments of silence, Zera found the perfect thing to say. She looked up at Zane with her dark grey eyes, a soft smile curving her lips. Her voice was quiet, and she almost seemed nervous to say it out loud.
"I think I'm falling for you, too," she said, looking down at the tattoos covering Zane's muscled torso and arms. She moved the arm that had been wrapped around his back to trace a tattoo on his neck, that led to his collar bone.
"I'll catch you if you catch me, okay?"

Zane let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. He praised god at the fact Zera had the same feelings as he did. He had been waiting centuries to hear someone say that back to him. Granted, he hadn't said those words to anyone in centuries either.
"Zera, I will always catch you," the vampire finally said, a sad smile on his lips. He would never let her fall.
And, once again, Zane's breath hitched in his throat. Zera was just torturing him with her touches. The way her hand rolled up his back, settling to trace circles on his skin. She didn't know what she did to him.
Zane lifted a hand and gently caught Zera's hand. He kissed her wrist softly, not looking up at the girl. "You're making it very difficult not to kiss you, love." |

Zera let the smile on her face brighten when Zane said that he would catch her. She was glad that he would. She was about to trace a tattoo that went up to the corner of his jaw when she noticed his breath hitch.
She was so close that she could notice it, which could be either good or bad. As Zane's hand clasped around hers, and brought the thin skin of her wrist to his mouth, Zera almost thought he was going to bite her. Instead, he simply pressed his lips against her wrist in a soft kiss.
Her breathing stiffened and she blinked several times as he spoke. Difficult for him not to kiss her?
"Rules are meant to be broken. I'll enjoy breaking that one," Zera said, breaking the very rule that she had requested. The rule that she had made for her own good. She pressed her lips against Zane's softly, not knowing if he would kiss her back or not. Perhaps he would keep the rule, and push her away.
The girl never knew what her vampire was going to do.

Zane hid a small grin as he noticed Zera's breath stiffen much like his had. He figured it took a while for his words to sink in. I mean, did she really find it that weird that he wanted to kiss her? It shouldn't have been that big of a surprise. Damn.
The vampire bit his lip at Zera's words. Rules were meant to be broken, that was true. His very existence was the result of many, many broken rules. He was a rip in the cloth of existence. But these rules? The ones she had made herself, but was now willing to break?
Zane's next thoughts didn't come. Why? Because Zera's lips came into contact with his own. The man twisted his body slightly, slowly deepening the kiss. If she wanted the rules to be broken... He was certainly going to do just that.
Zane put one hand on the ground, curling it into a fist. He put all his strength into clenching that one hand, so he could not worry extra about hurting her. And, at that moment, the vampire had the overwhelming instinct to bite her. No, turn her. But he wasn't going to let that happen.

Zera was glad that Zane didn't push her away. As much as that rule needed to stay kept, she hated it. No kissing? Why had she said that in the first place? She wanted to write that rule on a piece of parchment and rip it to shreds, then bury it and let the earth swallow it. No rules. Screw rules.
She let the hand that had traced tattoos on his neck previously travel around his neck, her hand resting on the back of his head, his hair falling gently between her fingers. Her other hand moved from her side to rest lightly on Zane's chest, her fingers curled against the tattoos that littered his skin.
She angled her head, and caught Zane's lower lip between hers.
Yep. She loved breaking that rule.

Zane shivered under the girl's touch. The way her hand drug up his back to rest on his neck, hands tangled in his hair... He loved it. How did she always know where to put her hands? He liked it, and it wouldn't have her any other way.
Zane put his hand on Zera's, the one that was resting on his chest. He slowly slid his hand down her arm, scooting closer to the girl as he did so. He just wanted to get close to her, feel that buzzing sensation everywhere. He didn't know if she wanted that too, but he sure in the hell hoped so.
"Zera," The vampire said against the girl's lips. He moved his lips away from hers, going down her jawline and stopping at her neck. Another overwhelming desire to make her one of him, so he wouldn't have to be careful around her anymore.
"I love you, so much." |

Zera felt Zane's muscles ripple under her hands as she tangled her hand in his hair. He had the exact same effect on her as he placed his hand over hers and slowly slid it up her arm, moving closer to her. She willingly moved closer to him, too, forgetting all about just how dangerous this was- about how he could kill her if this got out of control.
Zera's pulse quickened as Zane trailed kisses down her jaw, stopping at her neck. She could feel his warm breath ghost over her skin as he spoke a five-word sentence.
I love you, so much.
Those words were enough to scare most. If Zera was afraid of commitment, she probably would have stopped right there. But Zera wasn't afraid of being with someone for an extended period of time. Plus, it wasn't like he was proposing to her or anything. Also, he was being very persuasive, kissing her on the neck.
And Zera felt the same.
She hadn't realized just what to call it until he named it first. But now that he put a name to the emotion that they shared, Zera could relate. She could understand.
"I love you, too," she murmured through heavy, stiff breaths. Her pulse was spiking, and her heart was racing.

Zane sucked in a sharp breath when he felt the girl's pulse spike under her lips, as if her blood was just calling to him, wanting to be taken. But no. She had barely allowed him to kiss her, so, the blood sucking would definitely be crossing a line. And Zane? He wasn't the type to cross lines.
The vampire couldn't hide his grin as Zera said those words back to him. Murmured, actually. But, he could still hear her fine. And she loved him? If she really meant that, and wasn't just saying it back, then he was the happiest man on Earth. No, in the universe. To be loved... It wasn't a feeling he had known in a long time.
Zane kissed up the girl's neck and across her jawline, working his way back to her lips. His hand went up the outisde of her thigh, skipping past her hip and landing on her waist. Her soft skin under his hand gave him goosebumps.
"You have no idea how happy you make me, love."
Zane's voice was between a soft growl and a whisper. She certainly had no clue what she did to him.

Zera could feel Zane's teeth flashing against her neck. He had.... smiled at what she said. She hadn't imagined him smiling. His smile made her lips curve upwards in a soft grin. Well, more of a smirk. She was glad to make him happy. It was something that made her happy to do.
As his hand skimmed across the outer edge of her thigh, skipping over her hip and resting on the crook of her waist, she felt herself draw in a sharp breath against his lips, which had been pressed against hers. It was such an odd feeling; being able to do this. And knowing that it could very well kill her. Very literally, mind you.
She managed to spit out a few words between kisses, not once opening her eyes.
"You're giving me a pretty good idea by your actions," she said, referring to the kissing and the waist-touching. The hand that had been pressed against his chest moved to the swirled tattoo that Zane mentioned to her earlier.
She drew circles around it, not opening her eyes to even see if she was on the right tattoo. She knew where it was. She'd seen him shirtless enough times to memorize where virtually every tattoo lied on his torso.
That tattoo supposedly protected her, now.

Zane held in a chuckle at the girl's comment. Well, at least she got what he was doing. That being him attempting to show his love. But, sometimes, instinct trumped love.
Suddenly, and quickly, Zane pulled his lips from Zera's. He gently pushed her shoulders to the ground, throwing his knees on both sides of her hips, successfully straddling the poor girl. His hands caught her wrists, pinning them onto the ground by her head.
A deep, guttural growl rumbled through the vampire's chest as leaned his head down closer to Zera's. If she had said anything at this point, it went in one ear and out the other. He was on a mission, one that made Zera like him. This instinct was much like a wolf's instinct to mate.
Zane kissed the girl's neck before sinking his fangs into her soft flesh. He paid no attention to the delicious blood that flowed into his mouth. Instead, he released the venom into her bloodstream. He quickly pulled out, licking the wound to seal it.
Zane's previously dilated eyes returned to normal. He stared wide eyed, as if he just came out of a trance, which one might say that he had. It was as if he had been pushed to the back of his mind while the monster inside of him took over his body. He could watch, but not act.
"What have I done?" The vampire whispered harshly to himself. He smelled the venom in Zera's blood, taste the leftovers in his mouth. Such a bitter taste... "What have I done....."

Zera smiled against Zane's lips, perfectly enjoying this moment. Just this was enough for her. Though, being able to do this without worry would be wonderful. If only their love wasn't a cursed one. She was about to move her lips from his to kiss his jaw when he suddenly pulled his lips from hers, leaving Zera with nothing but air touching her lips.
She expected him to move away from her, to tell her that they couldn't go any further or do this any longer because of the consequences. That she could die because of this. She expected immediate resentment.
She did not expect to open her eyes to see a predatory look in Zane's eyes. As his hands pushed her shoulders to the ground, and as he straddled her, pinning her wrists above her head, she thought he was about to do something far different than bite her.
She expected a love nibble as he placed his head down towards her neck, not a full-out bite. As his fangs sank deep into the tissue and veins of her neck, she let out a noise somewhere between a startled gasp and a soft yelp of pain. As the first feeling of bliss hit her from the bite, she just wondered if he was going to feed from her.
But when the second feeling hit her, it was far from bliss. It felt like molten lava was being injected into her neck. Like she was being burned from the inside out. Almost as quickly as he had bitten her, Zane retracted his fangs from her neck and began to speak, his previous predatory nature seemingly disappearing into thin air.
What had he done to her? She was wondering the exact same thing. She writhed under his grip, still stuck under him as he straddled her. Tears began to flow down her cheeks at the pain that she was going through.
The princess had a relatively high tolerance for pain, but that didn't apply when it felt like your veins were being eaten by a rampant lava monster.
"Zane...." She said between fits of pain, letting out choked sobs now and then. "What.... what's going on? What did you do to me?" She let out a loud sob at the end of her sentence.

Ooc:// -.- You know what I'm saying, woman. I'm pissed that I don't have a post by now. I showed you a picture of my hair, harass you about this mess constantly, and junk.
I swear if you procrastinate anymore, I will jump through your computer screen and superglue a sticky note to your head that says, "PROCRASTINATION KILLS BRAINCELLS."
Either way, you hear me. Post, woman. <3
XD That was really long.
