“You mean that? If you need more time, Arwen, I will give that to you. We’re going to live forever. I don’t want you to go, but if you just need me right now as someone to support you through the transition, I can do that. I will do anything, my love.”

Arwen smiled and moved until she straddled Iro’s lap.

“I know you would.” She cupped Iro’s cheeks. “And I love you for that. I aminlove with you, and I don’t want to go. I don’t want you just as a supportive vampire friend.” She smiled. “Iwantyou, Iro. Do you understand what I mean?”

“You’re feeling the normal–”

“No, babe. I mean, I am; I’ve never been so horny in my entire life, and I have no idea how I’m going to deal with this forever, but it’s more than that. I could’ve been with Zara last night or some random person tonight had I wanted that, but I don’t. I want you. Only you.”

“You know that it will be even better now, right?” She unbuttoned Arwen’s shirt. “It was so good before, my beautiful Arwen, but it’s going to be even better now.”

“Will you show me?” Arwen requested. “Show me the good parts today, Iro.”

Iro pushed Arwen’s shirt off her shoulders, held on to her ass, and lifted her as she stood.

“Jesus!”

“Vampire strength. That’s one of the good things when you want to make love to the woman who has made you feel like the rest of the world could disappear, and as long as she were there, everything would be okay.”

She carried Arwen to her bedroom, and after she set her on the bed, she began removing her own clothes.

“You’re going to discover that as a vampire, you can handle more.”

“You mentioned that,” Arwen said as she kissed Iro’s stomach.

“But you’ll also like it. You’ll want it harder and faster, and more and more until you need a break to eat. Then, you’ll want it again.”

“God, that sounds really good right now,” Arwen said as she pushed Iro’s underwear down her legs. “I want all of you. I don’t want you to hold back.”

“There’s another thing…” she began. “And it makes it even better.”

She climbed on the bed and helped Arwen get out of her clothes.

“What? Anything.”

“If I bite you while you come.” She hovered over Arwen. “It’s like your brain can’t process everything that’s happening to you all at once, so it explodes. Every nerve in your body lights on fire in the best way, and all you want isthatover and over again forever.”

“Yes,” Arwen said. “I want that.”

“I want you,” Iro replied. “Always. Cassia was never my wife, Arwen. I gave her a ring because she saw it somewhere and told me to buy it for her, but I did because it was always easier to give her what she wanted than to argue with her. One day, if you wear a ring that I gave you, it’ll be because I love you and want us to marry. I’ll propose just like I would have if you’d remained human, and I hope you say yes when I do.”

She rolled down into her.

“Oh,” Arwen let out.

“Yes, eventhatfeels better.”

“God, do that again,” Arwen requested.

“All day and all night long, if you want,” she said and repeated the motion a few times. “And you’ll come faster, too.”

“You… already make me… come… fast.”

“I bet I could make you come right now without even touching you,” Iro whispered into her ear and moved until she was hovering over her again. “You know how sensitive my nipples are?”

“Yes.”

“I can come without you even touching them. I can come just by listening to you breathe, if I want. I can come from just being here, on top of you, thinking about… how… beautiful… you are and how…”
