Sigh escaped from her chest, lifting body some from the mattress while breathing returned to a normal rate. Body shifted, head lifting a bit so hand could be slid beneath her head to prop it up so looking at the male where he was standing would be an easier task. At first, the damsel had thought he would just return to the bed with her, but after his question it was obvious he planned on continuing the trend from the night before by doing all that he could for her although she was not exactly in the position to protest because as she had learned just moments ago, movement that required her limbs to hold her whole weight would be impossible for now. Lips pursed at decision he let her make about breakfast, shoulders finally lifting in a shrug as his answer. I do not care really. Whatever you want to cook. Can I have chocolate milk? The syrup is in the top cabinet closest to the refrigerator. Feeling a little silly for requesting such a childish drink, the vixen worked at hiding her embarrassment by pulling gaze away from him, a bit relieved when the sound of his nearly silent steps upon the hardwood floor told her he was leaving to go to the kitchen. Body was wiggled beneath the covers once more, the dame sighing as the warmth from where their combined heat had sunk into the sheets and mattress welcomed her cold skin. Shades closed over surfaces, but still Bricaza did not sleep. Instead, she listened to the sounds Dario made in the kitchen as he cooked in her house. Strange, the building she had lived in for nearly three years now was beginning to feel more like a living space than the home she had thought it was all of this time. Bri found herself wishing she could be at his new house, helping him move some things in like they had planned the previous day before all of the drama with her tribe had come to the forefront and left her in this drained state. Mainly, the girl just wanted to be with her lover where he most wanted to be and here was certainly not it. At least, not anymore. Perhaps once her mere presence might have been enough to let him relax in this house so close to the rest of her people, but after they were both kidnapped by Kat and the Alpha, it seemed that was no longer the case. She could tell from the way he had reacted to her antics upon waking up that the bloke had not gotten a wink of sleep. He was not comfortable here and although her current state heightened the feeling of unease to an extreme which would not normally be present, she was sure that even after she was fully recovered that the drake would never be completely relaxed in this house again. Determining that once her strength had returned that she would help him move in and put some serious effort into being with him there as often as she could. There were also the details of their vacation to work out, but that could wait for a while. First she wanted to make sure the man still wanted to take her where ever it is he was planning on taking her. Lids lifted when he walked back into the room, her torso rising from the bed a little as a gentle smile met him. Without stopping, he moved to the bed and scooped her up into his arms easily, drawing a protest to her lips although she bit it back, knowing it would do no good to voice her opposition as he would simply ignore it and take her where she could not walk anyway. Hand rose to his cheek, holding the vampire to her as she kissed him back, trying to show all of her appreciation through that one endearment. Eventually, she let him pull away although palm remained on his cheek, urging him to pause as emerald gaze was directed upwards at him from behind eyelashes. Thank you. Soft vocals whispered, her hand finally dropping from his face to run down the dip between pectorals where the sternum lay exposed before falling completely to her lap. Patiently, she waited till he brought over the food then ate politely what he had cooked although her stomach urged her to scarf down the meal like a ravenous wolf. Perhaps Caza's spirit was not as dormant as she would have thought earlier.

So much had happened in the last twelve hours that it was important that he kept her calm and did not change anything about where they were staying and that all she did was rest. He did not have a clue what the girl was feeling like. He smiled when she asked if she would be able to have chocolate milk. Telling him that the syrup was in the cupboard he took the milk from the fridge and emptied part of it into a glass before then mixing the appropriate amount of chocolate syrup with it and walking back into the living room where she had been placed while the rest of the food was cooking. He placed the drink beside her, moving the small end table so that it was positioned right in front of her and it would be easy for her to reach. Placing a small kiss on her cheek he then returned into the kitchen to finish the meal of eggs and bacon placing them on plates and heading back into the living room with cutlery. He placed it in front of her and sat beside her on the couch. Allowing her to dish out the food that she wanted. He was not overly hungry since somehow the events of yesterday brought out the predatory instincts in the vampire therefore human food would not sit well in the males stomach. He knew that there would only be one thing that would get rid of the feelings but right now that was much too risky he would not leave her alone to fall into the hands of the two traitors again. I hope those two will recieve punishment for their actions. I do not care that they captured me but they turned on you. He uttered a little darkly before then turning to the small amount of food that he had put on his plate just to be polite so that he would eat as they sat there. Can we head over to my place today? I will carry you. I just don't want to be this close to them knowing that they could be lurking just outside. Even if she said no the first time he wanted to convince her and he was sure that she would have been able to see that he had not gotten any sleep the night before so therefore they would be a little more at ease farther away from the tribe. When they were both finished eating he then headed to the kitchen to take the plates back and he quickly washed everything and dried it before then putting it back in the cupboards. He then moved to the couch to pick her back up and carry her back into her bedroom. Tell me what you want me to pack for clothes. He the carried out what she directed him to before then picking her up again with the pack on his back he then locked the door behind them and stepped out into the forest. The scent was just of the forest and not of what lurked within so he knew that they would not cross the paths of the others as light agile steps carry her lightly through the forest and in the direction of the new house. He knew that it would take them awhile but when they finally arrived he already felt better. Luckily the keys for his house were still in his shoe since that had been the only place that they had not searched before he had been tied. So he pressed the key into the lock and stepped into the house. The bed had already arrived after she had left the first time and he had managed to get a load to the house in the way of clothes before he had been captured. He placed her down on the bed before then locking the door behind him and walking to her. Sitting on the edge himself and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

Barely audible giggles that she tried to hide by covering her lips burst from the girl's mouth when the male returned from the kitchen with her chocolate milk. It was such a silly little drink, but the urge to taste the sweet cocoa mixed with the distinct lactose in the milk was something she could not ignore even as an adult. Water and the usual drinks got old and boring. Occasionally the lass just wanted a reminder of what it was like to be a kid when there were no worries plaguing her mind except for how she was going to avoid the wrath of her mother after she had broken her grandmother's walking stick. Then again, it was nice to be an adult. Bricaza was reminded of this fact as she felt the bloke's kiss upon her cheek then turned with a loving smile to let emerald orbs follow his retreating figure. That certainly was not a sight the little girl she had once been would have been able to appreciate or enjoy. Turning back to the cup that was now in front of her, long fingers wrapped around the cool surface and brought the lip to her rose tissues to feel the smooth liquid run its course down her throat to her stomach. Sighing in contentment, she kept a hold upon the glass, setting it down upon her leg covered by the jeans she had been wearing the night before, and leaned back against the couch and closed her eyes. The smell of cooking breakfast soon filled the house and after the sound of sizzling bacon and eggs subsided, the maiden lifted shades to have her vision returned the moment he walked up with the plate of food. Smiling appreciatively at him, she sat forward and set her cup down upon the table he had pulled in front of her and politely chose a portion adequate enough to satisfy her hunger then began to eat, not too worried about his silence until he spoke up. Pausing, the lady grew tense and set her fork down onto the plate, finishing chewing the food that was in her cavern while shifting gaze over to look at him. The controlled anger in his voice told her that the rage she had begun to feel radiating from him the night before was still there, but was simply harbored beneath the surface until the right time for it to be released. She worried about him not because she thought Kat would go after him again, but because he had made himself into a new man who did not give in to the whims of his temper any longer and if he were to do so now, would his opinion of himself sink to a level where he would try to leave her again? Reaching across the space between them, she tried to hold his amber pools with her own while squeezing his hand. I do not know what will happen. I suppose that would be for the Chosen to decide once I am recovered and can attend the next meeting. Letting go, the fea kept a wary eye upon him while turning back to her food for a moment only to be interrupted again by his speech. Disagreement rose to her features, mouth parting to release a refusal that died mostly upon her tongue. Closing her jaws, she sighed and nodded, agreeing with what he suggested although she was opposed to him carrying her all the way through the woods. I would rather not be such a burden, but if you must leave here then please do take me with you. In silence, they finished their meal and he took everything to the sink before returning to her and lifting the vixen up in his arms. Biting her tongue, she held back a squeak of protest at how deciding he picked her up while he carried her into the bedroom then left her upon the mattress so he could gather the clothes she directed him too. I don't need much. I have two pairs of sweatpants on the top shelf of the closet that I should probably take. Then if you would please take two pairs of shorts from the top drawer in my dresser and four shirts from the second. I will also be needing my, um, underwear. Bottom drawer. Blushing just a bit, the lass tucked her chin towards her chest and looked anywhere but at him for a few moments while he gathered all that she asked. The bag is in the bottom of the closet. She directed him upon seeing that he was done, but noticed that there were no bras to go with the clothing and nearly groaned out of frustration. Dario. Can you get my bras too please? They are above the underwear. Amusing herself by watching her legs swinging back and forth, the damsel was able to avoid his gaze until he came to retrieve her from the bed. Trying to make it easiest on him, Bricaza scooted to the edge and wrapped her arms around his neck, doing her best to not wiggle around in his grasp while he headed out the door, locked it, and then started along the path to his newly purchased house. Remaining strangely quiet throughout the trip, the lass made sure she was paying attention to her surroundings so that if she noticed anyone following them, she could be ready to get out of the way so he would be able to defend them. Thankfully, no mishaps occurred so when they made it to his house, she buried her face into his chest and breathed in his scent deeply; clinging with everything she had to the man who did so much for her that she could never repay. Resting dutifully upon the bed that he had ordered the day before, the lady waited patiently for him, watching while he locked the door then returned to her side. The instant he was there, she moved onto his lap and curled up against him; mask hidden against his neck. You are too good to me. I would try and repay you for all that you have done considering I most likely will have a very long life time to do so, but I have a feeling you would never let me. Lyrics whispered to him, admitting some of her frustration at the situation. The rest of it was obvious; she wanted to walk, to speak normally, and to not rely so heavily upon his assistance. She did not so much mind that he was there all the time; it was more of a self pride issue for her. They should be just now waking up here, in this bed upon which they both sat not just arriving after spending the night at her house because it was the closest shelter. Dario should have already been all moved into his house instead of just having a few changes of clothes and one piece of furniture. All of this would have been possible if she had been more careful or if she had stayed with him. Now instead she was put to bed rest without even the energy to regain her newfound boldness when around him.

He was flattered that she was now comfortable enough to ask him for something that in her mind she would consider to be embarrassing. With her type of personality it was really making a turn around for the independant girl to allow someone into her life enough to relay some of the responsibilities into the fully capable hands of the male. It was his job and he enjoyed being able to take care of the girl. He would even spoil her to more of an extent if he thought that she would allow him to do so. Seeing her vulnerable in the manner in which she was made him feel so horrible for her knowing she hated being unable to do things herself. He brought the food he had made to her and acknowledged the stunning smile on her face with a return of his own. He could see the conflicting emotions on her face when he spoke in a rage about Kat. Don't worry Bri I am not going to act on anything I just hate them all for doing this to you. But I would never do anything that would jeopardize us being together. He assured her with a steady tone turning back to the persona he had nearly perfected. The time when he had told her that he was going to leave and he had attempted it had been the worst mistake so far in his entire life. This girl meant so much to him and yet he had been prepared to throw it all away. Now that he looked back on it he did not know what he would have done if she would have agreed to allow him to go on with his life and that she did not want him around. That was the worst case scenario or she had not wanted to allow him back into her life. He was able to feel a tiny bit of uneasiness radiating from the girl around th subject though he would not mention it. He told her that the fate of the people involved with this heinous act would be left on the Chosens shoulders for the next meeting and somehow he found that he was really starting to doubt their abilities to punish one of their own even if they were totally wrong in their acts. Kat would get away with nothing more then a slap on the wrist even after he had laid his hands on Bri. Just the thought sickened him though he promised himself that he would not make this situation worse then it already was. Bri was too important for that and too important to start World War Three. When they had finished he quickly washed the few dishes so that in the time that she was away they would not gather mold and get gross before carrying her into her room to pick out the clothes that she needed for the journey. He tried his best to ignore that it was every mans dream to be asked to look through their girlfriends underwear drawer though he did not want to make it more awkward and only a few lingering gazes were shot to the different fabrics before the amount of clothing was set and put in a bag that was thrown over his shoulder before she was them picked up and carried to the new house. There is no deed in which I have preformed that would ever need repaying, you are my girlfriend, well actually you are alot more then just a girlfriend to me, so when you signed up to be with me, this is a part of the deal, no questions about it. He said with a small smirk before she was then placed on the bed and he shifted so that he was laying beside her for a moment. So what do you want to do for the day? He asked.

Body leaned away some once the words that Bricaza had been expecting to come from the man's lips flowed out into the air, creating space between their bodies that did not quite bother her as it might have at another time. Fingers drew invisible lines on his chest over the shirt while liquids followed their motion with a small smile tugging upon the edges of lips. Will you accept no argument on my part? Vocals teased mostly although the tune was not quite correct to give away an entirely carefree manner. Slipping out of his lap as he moved to lay down, the girl did not waste much time returning to his side and again curled up to his mass, finding the comfort only he could offer her in laying right beside him. A soft sigh escaped; shoulders lifting in a shrug as a reply to his question. I do not know. I do not like the restriction my body places on my movement. Vocals complained as the damsel indulged in a rare moment of self pity as the frustrations weighted heavily upon her. There was so much they could be doing that day and yet, because of her, they were stuck indoors. That was not completely true. The lass could not ignore the logic that her mate expressed. Kat was partly to blame for her lack of energy, however, at that moment she did not want to think about him or any of the other Chosen. In time, they would be dealt with when she felt up to it. A few moments of restless silence passed before the fea abandoned her position stretched out beside Dario and sat up, glancing around the room while pulling knees up to her chest and wrapping arms around them to hold thighs clutched to torso. Orbs drifted back to the man, a small smile being offered towards him. He was so sweet; carrying her everywhere and staying beside her although she knew it would be a boring occupation. Mind ran over the previous words, dismissing his refusal to let her make it up to him and instead focused on the other part. What are we Dario? You are right; I do not feel as if you are merely a boyfriend. Is there even a term for what we are to one another? Thinking mostly aloud, mask was twisted into a thoughtful expression, her mind following a strange mode of connection and leading her to the trip which he had planned for them before any of the drama with the pack happened. When are we going to go on the trip you promised me? Pouting a little, the damsel once again let the thoughts of her brain come through her mouth while speaking aloud her disjointed thoughts.

Fingers were trailing on his chest and the movements were causing a small spark to ignite in amber pools as they met hers and did not break the glance even as she spoke. A small smile remaining placidly on his face. She did not seem completely at ease though he did not mention this. When he laid down on the bed she joined him and curled up against him. The girls heartbeat could be felt and what might have been uncomfortable for him awhile ago was now comforting. Her breathing was a rise and fall that caused him to close his eyes and a small sigh to be emitted. She then told him that she hated that she was not able to move. All the more reason for me to have to take care of you. He knew that she hated that she was stuck inside though she needed to rest so therefore he would remain inside with her for the rest of the day until she was able to regain her strength. The one thing he did manage to bring here was a large flat screen television so he was sure that, that might interest her so at least they would not have to just lay there all day. Nothing more was said about the group that had kidnapped them both and intended to kill him, she sat up which drew his attention though he did not mirror the move. She then asked him what they were, and he paused for a moment. I love you Bri. He stated gently. We are lovers. You are everything to me. He stated gently though that did not seem to do it justice. He strived for more. She then asked about the vacation that he promised her. Well as soon are you are better we will go. He paused for a moment remembered the phone call that he had taken just before he had been kidnapped. I just remembered Bri. I need to do a favour for a friend. One of the people I met back when I lived in Africa is in trouble and asked me if I would help. I am not going to force you to stay but it might be dangerous but I have a feeling that is not going to stop you. They are taking a cruise to Fiji. He knew what her answer would be already and that was alright with him since he knew that he would not be able to protect her if she was at home. Perhaps in the end when it did not take as long as he expected they would be able to break off from the cruise and have their own the rest of the vacation. He would still owe her a vacation after this anyways. I want to ask you something though. He announced, picking her up once again stepping through the house to the room with the large window and the balcony on the outside. I will be right back. He told her as he placed her down on the balcony on a chair that was in the middle of the balcony before stepping back inside the house and rifling through the bag that he had brought. The same small box that came with him everywhere was produced as he walked back to the balcony. Nerves now ran wild through his body. When he reached the chair he dropped to his knee. Bri, I don't want to be just your boyfriend, you mean way too much to me for that. Will you marry me? He asked. The ring was produced from the box, it was stunning with a large raised diamond in the middle, the band had small diamonds all the way around and two amber stones on either side. It looked old but it glimmered as if it was new.

Untamed ebony locks fell across the maiden's tanned features as she shook her head as a response to his statement, gaze settling upon the drake with a forced soft smile once the movement stilled. Your care, however diligent and appreciated, only serves to remind me of my incapability. Orbs drifted from him then to stare at the curtain covered window, following the beams of light as they broke through the few spaces in the fabric to provide at least some illumination in the room. Her body's position did not alter; it felt good to stretch her arms out in front of her and pull the muscles of her back forward to strain some even if the tissues of her legs complained of the tight confides she kept them in with her arms. As usual, the damsel had spoken bluntly; ignorant to the damage words could inflict if the interpretation of speech was different from what the speaker intended. It was not in her upbringing to mask a comment with eloquent syllables when it could be spoken plainly with the meaning clearly presented and surely her lover would recognize this and take no offense. Gaze slowly turns back to him at the husky vocals that emit, a tender smile cracking her emotionless facade as she is reminded of their love for one another. Abandoning her seat, the girl moved back to his side, pressing against the flesh of his side and chest while enveloping his body as best she could with her slightly expansive arm length. And you are everything to me as well Dario: my entire life. How you have changed it completely so quickly. Love is a much stronger emotion than I ever thought it could be. Mass shifted forward towards the wall as the woman stretched to reach the masculine features to plant a soft kiss upon his lips. As if naturally, the subject flow changed rapidly to the question about the trip that was promised. At the first words, the fea knew it would be pointless to pay attention to much else. Once she was better could have a different meaning for the both of them and the vampire's standards were much higher than her own she was sure. It could take another few weeks for her energy to completely return which would mean they would be stuck here for longer than she would wish. There was business for her to take care of here, sure, however Bricaza simply wanted to get away and not worry about the concerns of the pack or their opinions upon her relationship and the kidnapping that had followed in succession to her choice of a mate. Taking a vacation with him would be the perfect opportunity for escape and yet now it appeared further out of her reach. Interest is sparked again though when the baron mentioned an old acquaintance that was in need of help. Brow raised on one side in a questioning gesture while the lass fought not to smile at his assumptions. Ah how he knew her so well. The prospect seemed to be perfect and would serve to extend their stay away from the tribe as well as hasten their departure by a margin no matter how small of a fraction it may be. Of course I will be going with you. I cannot bear to be left behind to remain in this house alone anymore than you can bear to leave me here without protection. I shall go where you go. Always. Sounding firm, the lady added a singular decisive nod to the end of her speech to emphasis the words spoken. Letting him run off to a foreign country without her there to at least be assured of his safety was out of the question and besides, the male knew so much about her already and the acquaintances she had therein, but none of his relations, other than to the clan and the night-walker hotel owner, had ever been revealed to her and the prospect of meeting some other people with whom he had come in contact with before her was alluring. Frown formed upon features at his announcement, arms instinctively wrapping around his neck as he lifted her from the bed then carried her into her favorite room in the house where he left her before disappearing back into the bedroom. Sitting quietly, Bri folded her hands within her lap and began fidgeting with her fingers as legs crossed at the ankle while waiting rather impatiently for his return. When he re-entered, crown shot up and gaze met his, a grin quick upon her lips although it’s spreading halted when she caught sight of the look within the bright amber depths. There was a new tension in the air: nervous tension. Something was bothering him and it made the Native American uneasy to feel as if she were the origin of such festering. For a while, she was able to compose herself and watch his approach without breaking the illusion of serenity she had created, but that disappeared the instant his height sank and the small box was produced in front of her. Heart jumped to her throat; pulse beating wildly as eyes shift dumbly from the brute to the ring repeatedly as if trying to make sense of it all. Everything had happened so quickly. Even with their confession of love and their status as mates, Bricaza had not quite expected an offer of marriage at least for a little longer and yet here one was and her tongue was frozen within her mouth. Were they ready for this? Shrinking back, a look of panic flashed across features as the fea grappled with the idea of whether she was prepared for this sort of commitment to him. I cannot be without him and I do not want to be. Confidence blossomed and with it restored so did the girls ability to talk return. Reaching forward because she could not do much else, Bri first touched his hand that held the ring then moved to his cheek to run over the short stubble there with her smooth fingers before cupping the strong chin she loved so much. Yes. Of course I will marry you. It would be a thing of dreams for me.

He understood what it was like to feel helpless since he had been in that situation more then once. Mostly in a mental state though since the immortals body was built to fight and built to remain alive so therefore he would not be able to be incapacitated for too long. So when she told him that his care was a reminder that she was not able to care for herself he nodded. She seemed to be getting tired of being this way and wishing that she would be able to start her life again. He knew that within a matter of days she would be back to where she had started, fiery and independant. At this a small smile dawned on features. When he spoke of his love for her it seemed to take her mind off the situation for a moment and a dazzling smile crossed her features. One that never ceased the melt the surrounding of ice around the supposedly heartless creature. It truly was hilarious just how wrong the people in the books and movies were about his species. Sure there were a lot of the vampires that lived up to every horror flicks expectations though there were a lot that remained in the neutral ground trying to live just as they had as a human and scared to wreck havoc in the manner in which they were 'supposed to' and then there were some like him who had come to terms with their immortality. As his words were uttered to her it caused her to then lay back down with him and curl up by his side. Assuring him that she felt the same, stating that he was indeed everything to her as well. She also told him that love was a lot stronger then she had imagined. Head was dipped in a slight nod. He knew that there was no way that he would be able to convince her to stay at home while he was off dealing with the vampire even if he knew that it was safer and in her best interest, though in one way he knew that he would be able to keep her a lot more safe if she were to be with him. The vampire in which he was going to be exposed to was a lot more dangerous then the tribe though he did not trust the people in the tribe any longer. He had to silence a small laugh at the stubborn nod she added to the end of her statement. Well then you are going to need some background information about this person. He paused for a moment before then continuing after he put the order on the sequences of events. There are a few large families of powerful vampires, the one I have been ordered to help against is a member of an oposing family. One of the dangerous vampires in which you have been taught about. His family has been known to kidnap shape shifters as a young age and to use them as spies against the other vampires. A girl that lived in Hitari when I had it was one of the people they kidnapped and while she was at Hitari she got attacked by one of his guards and he seems to have shown up again. He stated, the rest would be explained to her rather soon. They are leaving for the cruise this Saturday. He knew that this would leave them only a couple days to pack and get ready for it but he knew that would be best because by that time she would be a lot more healed and she would be able to just relax on the trip. But already his mind wandered to what he wanted to ask her and he found that he was getting more and more nervous. As he placed her on the chair in the room that had been dubbed as her favourite his senses heightened to the point that he was being driven slightly insane by himself as he then returned with the ring encased in one hand to drop to one knee before her and utter the words to her asking her to marry him. There were tense moments before her mouth opened and she agreed. A flood of relief crossed him before he then moved closer to slip the stunning ring on her finger and press a kiss to her cheek.
