"Hi, so, newsflash - vampires are real. They're not just some mythical creatures, they're here. In our town. I mean, I need to know because one of them is sleeping in my bed." Davina giggled furiously and rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, "Even if I told someone, they would just laugh at me. No one would believe me because why should they?"

Youcef took a step closer and stroked her cheekbone with his thumb, "They don't have to believe you, amour. Doesn't make us any less real."

Smirking, he leaned closer to her and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips, then murmured, "Besides, it's probably better if it's our secret anyway. I wouldn't want any of your friends or - God forbid! - any of your family to freak out unnecessarily, would I?"

Davina giggled again, "Depends. Are you a threat to me? Because if so, I might have to tell them about you."

Youcef raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue, "And what would be the point? If I wanted you dead, you'd already be dead. But I guess today is your lucky day, isn't it?"

She bit her lip, wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his, "Make it a lucky night and I'm all yours."

He chuckled and murmured against her lips, "Oh, but you've always been mine. Ever since you gave me your blood, ma belle."

She blushed and pulled back, "God, you're such a bad influence, babe. We need to get ready for my high school’s Halloween ball!"

Youcef shrugged nonchalantly and nodded, "I'll pick you up at nine sharp. Make sure you're ready!" He gave her a pointed look that let Davina know he was serious, then turned and strutted away.

Sighing, Davina went to her room and started getting ready for this year's Halloween party.

Of course, Youcef and she had decided to go as vampires. He didn't even have to come up with a proper costume because he was literally a vampire, but Davina had to put in a bit more effort, starting with the fangs and the red contact lenses. She curled her dark brown hair and applied a dark eyeshadow to her eyelids, a delicate stroke of black eyeliner and a few generous coats of mascara. She drenched her lips in a dark red lipstick, deliberately smudging some of it around the edges and expertly dripping fake blood down her chin.

Damn, I look hot as a vampire…

Davina winked at her reflection and then slipped into her costume, which consisted of a tight, black, strapless silk corset dress, leather overknees and long, elbow-length satin gloves. She knew Youcef would go absolutely bonkers as soon as he saw her, and she was looking forward to it.

When he finally picked her up, he almost started drooling. Faster than Davina could blink, he had her pressed against the wall, his face so close to hers that she had trouble breathing. His eyes darkened and turned red, the delicate veins under his eyes began to show, and she could see the light reflecting off his pristine white fangs.

With one hand he pushed her hair over her shoulder and leaned forward, his hot breath caressing her skin and the tip of his fangs grazing her throat as he ran his nose along her neck.

"Putain, t’es trop sexy," he growled in his throat, then grinned devilishly. "And I can hear your heart hammering in your chest. What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?"

Davina's cheeks flushed and she shook her head hesitantly, "Would now be a bad moment to admit that seeing you like this,” she gestured at his face, “fucking turns me on?"

Something flashed in Youcef's eyes and she held her breath in anticipation of feeling his teeth sink into her flesh, but he took a step back and murmured, "Yeah, I'd say that was a pretty bad moment."

She watched him suck in a deep breath and shake his head sharply, but then he nodded and held out his arm to her, "Let's just get through this night. But I want you to know that I can't wait to get back home, amour. You don't get to just say something like that and assume I won't do anything about it."

He winked at her and she blushed even more, but she put her arm through Youcef’s and let him walk her to her high school where the annual Halloween ball would be held.

Every now and then Davina glanced at Youcef and bit her lip as shivers of pleasure ran down her spine and made her abdomen tingle in anticipation of what he would do to her when they were back in her room later that night.

He was wearing tight black trousers, a black shirt that was only half buttoned, showing off his well-toned physique and gloriously pale skin, and a dark red blazer. As always, he wore heavy silver rings on his fingers, bracelets on his wrists and several necklaces around his neck, making him by far the most attractive man she had ever met.

But that wasn't really hard to achieve either, because after all, it was Youcef. What else had she expected?

"Do you like my outfit?" he snapped her out of her thoughts and grinned smugly.

She shrugged and replied, "Yeah, you look hot. But you don't need me to tell you that, do you?"

He laughed. "Yes, I do. You're my girlfriend, your opinion is important to me."

"You're fishing for compliments, love," Davina rolled her eyes, "and I'm not falling for that. You're going to have to manipulate me into stroking that huge ego of yours."

"And that's exactly why I love you, you sassy little minx." He pressed a kiss to her cheek as they entered the school gym, now transformed into a spooky mess.

Huge cobwebs hung from the ceiling, carved pumpkins glowed in the darkness and loud, pulsating music echoed through the hall. Artificial fog billowed on the floor and the red, flickering and stroboscopic light of the spotlights bathed the hall in an eerie ambience.

Davina was quivering with excitement and tugged on Youcef's hand, "Come on! This is going to be so much fun!" She rushed towards the dance floor, pulling her boyfriend along with her, who chuckled softly.

"Dance with me!" she shouted over the loud music, and Youcef's face contorted briefly. He leaned forward, his mouth hovering next to her ear, and growled, "No need to shout like that, I can hear you perfectly."

Without giving her time to say anything back, he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and pressed her against his body, enjoying the way her breath hitched and her eyelids fluttered.

All around them, people in various costumes danced the night away, getting drunk on the free booze. Davina kept an inconspicuous lookout for her friends but couldn't make them out in the mass of teenagers grinding against each other, the smell of sweat engulfing her.

But she didn't mind. She felt so alive at that moment, especially considering the way Youcef's hands were practically burning through the fabric and into her skin.

"You know," she began, careful to keep her voice down, "in the tales they used to say vampires were the kiss of death itself. Cold, bony, their skin unnaturally grey, but you seem perfectly normal. Like a normal living human."

Youcef chuckled and leaned towards her again so she could hear him over the noise, "You shouldn't believe everything in those myths. Most of it is bullshit anyway."

She laughed and wanted to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist before she could even touch him.

"I'm faster, remember?" he hissed and winked at her, to which she shrugged and replied, "Maybe I'm just testing your reactions because I think it's really hot?"

She could hear him inhale sharply, and then he growled, "Someone's feisty tonight, huh? Careful, ma belle, you know I have a hard time controlling myself around you."

Davina bit her lip gently and looked at him, doe-eyed and as innocent as possible. "Maybe I don't want you to control yourself around me tonight?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than his eyes darkened dangerously again and he asked in a hoarse voice, "You want me to drink from you? Here?"

"I mean, it's not like people are paying attention anyway, right? Might as well take advantage of it," she winked at him and he shook his head.

"Bon sang, Davina," he cursed softly and she felt her heart beat faster as she saw the familiar veins bulging under his eyes.

She slowly removed one of her long gloves, raised her hand to his face and presented her bare wrist, which she knew he had a hard time resisting.

Then she hissed, "Bite me," and the next moment she felt his fangs burying themselves into her skin. She moaned in pleasure, knowing no one would hear her.

Fuck, it was turning her on so bad.

Feeling the pain of his bite surge through her sent her into a kind of ecstasy she couldn't get enough of. Especially because she loved watching him pull back, his tongue running over his lips to taste the last drops of her blood, his features becoming human again and then moaning, "God, you taste heavenly," his voice full of hunger and lust.

Eventually, she put her glove back on, reached up, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him down to her and locked his mouth in a deep, passionate kiss.

She knew she had withdrawn from her friends ever since Youcef had come into her life, but it was almost as if he had cast a spell on her. She couldn't get away from him, she was addicted to his touch, his taste, and she felt like she was losing her mind if she couldn't be near him.

Was it toxic? Maybe. But what did you call it when there was a supernatural involved in the equation and not just mere humans?

Youcef wasn't just some college student boyfriend. The attraction she felt for him was supernaturally charged, and that changed a lot of things - at least on her part. And her friends hadn't even come by to check on her. None of them liked Youcef and they all blamed it on his sarcastic, arrogant manner, but Davina could only laugh at that.

If only they knew!

"I'll get us something to drink, okay? Don't move." Her boyfriend reluctantly loosened his grip around her waist and pulled away, then - with a reassuring nod from her - made his way to the bar.

He had barely disappeared when she heard Dylan's voice behind her. "Well, hello, beautiful! Where's your protective boyfriend?"

She turned and shot him a glare. Dylan was dressed as a devil and Davina almost burst out laughing.

Of fucking course he’d choose the devil, oh Lord!

She put on her sweetest smile and replied, "He just left to get us something to drink. But you knew that, didn't you? You would never have approached me if he was here."

He threw his head back and laughed, "You really think I'm afraid of him? Of that pretty boy? That's ridiculous. I'm disappointed you would even think that."

Davina rolled her eyes - Dylan, that arrogant bastard who thought he could have anything and anyone he wanted. Well, he hadn't expected Davina to publicly reject him, damaging his ego. When she had started dating Youcef instead, Dylan hadn't been able to let a day go by without pestering her in some way. Especially when he knew Youcef wasn't around.

He didn't know, of course, that even now, when Youcef was several feet away from her and a crowd of clueless teenagers was between them, he could hear what was going on around her if only he wanted to.

And a wicked grin spread across Davina's face, knowing that he would most definitely overhear their friendly conversation.

She shifted her gaze to Dylan and leered at him, "How many times do you want me to turn you down before you realise that I will never agree to go on a date with you?"

He winced and his eyes narrowed in anger, but he quickly regained his composure, took a step towards her and hissed, "You'll regret getting stuck with that pathetic Frenchman and then, when it's too late, you'll come crawling to me. You'll see."

She chuckled in amusement and raised an eyebrow, "Another empty threat? Oh Dylan, when are you going to learn that you better not mess with me?"

His jaw clenched and he wrapped the fingers of his right hand around her wrist, tightening his grip painfully, and growled, "You better not mess with me, love."

His fingers dug into Davina's skin and she contorted her face in pain and gritted her teeth, "Let go of me and don't ever call me love again, asshole!"

Dylan just laughed and moved his face so close to hers that she felt his breath, reeking of alcohol, on her face and an unpleasant shiver crept over her body.

A sudden movement caught her attention and Davina felt herself relax instantly when she saw Youcef standing behind Dylan. His whole body was rigid, ready to snap Dylan's neck, and his jaw was clenched tight.

"Let her go right now," he growled, but Dylan ignored him.

"Oooh, love, your pretty boy has come to rescue you, hasn't he?"

The next moment Youcef had his hand wrapped around Dylan's neck, squeezing his fingers together, and his eyes darkened, crimson flashing in his normally hazel eyes.

"Do I have to make you let her go?" He growled, and for a moment it seemed as if time had stopped. Youcef's eyes were full of rage and Davina knew he would have no problem actually killing him. Somehow she knew that everything depended on what else would come out of Dylan's big mouth. But as much as she hated Dylan, she couldn't let that happen. Not in a room full of people.

"Youcef, stop it!" She hissed, willing him to look at her, and when he finally did - very reluctantly - she added, "I know what you're thinking, but don't. Please."

Youcef scoffed angrily, then whirled Dylan around and stared him straight in the eye, forcing him to hold his gaze. A moment later he let go of him and Dylan left the hall as if nothing had happened.

Youcef took a step towards Davina and hugged her to him, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and whispering in her ear, "You know that happens when that pretentious moron can't keep his filthy hands to himself."

Davina shuddered and at the same time felt her pulse quicken. She lifted her head and pressed her lips to Youcef's. "I love how protective you are of me, but I never said you should kill for me, babe."

He chuckled darkly, "See, but that's where you're wrong. I would definitely kill for you without so much as blinking an eye if it meant I could protect you."

She thumped his chest in exasperation and rolled her eyes, but he leaned forward and muttered, "You can roll your eyes all you want, but it turns you on and you know it."

At that Davina gasped and her cheeks flushed. "Stop it, Youcef, you're impossible."

Youcef just shrugged and pulled her close again, resting his chin on top of her head. But Davina was more than ready to leave this party and go home instead, so she whispered, "Let's go, shall we? I've had enough of this boring party."

He looked down at her and grinned slyly, "Well, that’s my girl. Can't say no to that, can I?"

He winked at her and then led her out of the hall back outside into the night, where the cool air immediately made Davina shiver and she wrapped her arms around herself. Youcef casually slipped out of his blazer and draped it over her shoulders.

"Better?"

When she nodded her thanks and smiled up at him, he grinned and took her hand. "Let's go then."

They continued to walk in silence, each indulging in their own thoughts, until Davina interrupted it.

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you turned me?" she asked softly.

At first he didn't respond and just kept walking beside her, but then he said, "Of course I have. Why do you ask?"

She shrugged her shoulders anxiously. "I dunno. It's just something I've been thinking about a lot lately." She blushed and he noticed but didn't comment.

"How come?"

"I'm just afraid of losing you and I know the day will come when I have to say goodbye to you."

Her voice sounded thin and brittle as she said it, and he squeezed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers, and murmured, "Is this your way of telling me you love me?"

Davina gasped and narrowed her eyes, "You know I love you."

Youcef laughed, "Yes, but it's always nice when you say it." He looked at her and lowered his voice, then added, "Don't think I haven't noticed you pulling away from me lately. You used to say it back every time I told you I loved you."

She winced and tried to pull her hand out of his grip, but he tightened his hold. "Ah non, you won't. See? That's exactly what I mean... Talk to me, please."

"I already told you."

He clicked his tongue and stopped walking, then turned to her and lifted her chin, "You know I could manipulate you into telling me what you really think. But I don't want to do that. So please talk to me."

Davina knew he would so easily be able to suck it out of her mind, and maybe then she wouldn't have to say it?

But no, she knew she had to say it out loud. She just didn't think this would be the day, but then again, she had started talking about it, so she only had herself to blame.

So she sighed deeply, "I don't want to let you go, but I know I'll have to eventually because you can't stay with me forever. I'll..." she gulped, "I'll get old and people will start asking questions." Her lower lip began to tremble, so she bit down on it and added in a husky voice, "But I don't know if I'm ready to give up my human life yet either."

With his hand still cupping her chin, Youcef pulled her close and kissed her gently, sending a sweet tingle down her spine.

As he pulled away, he murmured, "You have to want it yourself. You can't give up your life for me. Eternity is a hell of a long time, my love."

Tears filled her eyes and she stared up at him, "And what if I choose not to?"

His eyes twitched slightly at the corners, but otherwise they were almost blank, devoid of any of the thoughts running through his head or the emotions coursing through his veins. "It would break my heart. But I would never force you into it."

She shook her head, a single tear rolling down her cheek, and he gently wiped it away, his thumb lingering on her cheekbone.

"I don't want to break your heart."

"Amour, that's a risk I'm willing to take if it means I get to spend my time with you, however long or short it may be." He gave her a crooked smile that elicited a quiet sob, and impulsively she pressed her lips to his to keep from crying.

"I love you," she whispered in the brief pauses to catch her breath before she captured his lips in more long, deep kisses.

Finally, he gently pushed her away from him and sighed, "You can't even begin to imagine how much I love you, ma belle." He took her face in both hands and looked directly into her eyes, "You know that as a vampire all my senses are heightened, all my emotions are intensified. I love you so much that I would sacrifice eternity to be with you and that is..."

She interrupted him softly, "...and that's saying something, knowing how much you love being a vampire. Oh my God, Youcef."

He just nodded and she felt herself melt in his hands as he breathed, "God, I need you so much right now, Davina."

Choking on her own feelings, she whispered, "I need you too. Take me home with you, please."

______________________

As soon as Youcef had closed the door shut behind him, they tore each other's clothes off. His fingertips dancing over her skin with the grace of a pianist, setting her body on fire, his desirous open-mouthed kisses made her head spin and her vision blur because all she smelled, felt and tasted was Youcef and his all-consuming love for her.

Their lips colliding was like throwing a lit match into a petrol can - they exploded in burning flames and desperate desire.

He kissed and sucked and teased at every inch of her skin, devouring her and worshipping her at the same time with respect and adoration engraved in his every touch.

Davina writhed beneath him, demanding that he complete her, that she feel whole as she begged him to claim her again and again. But as soon as he buried himself inside her, the flames faded, and what was left was raw, pure love.

This time it was different. Perhaps because they both knew she would have to make a decision at some point. His thrusts were slow and measured, but no less deep and full of power.

Sometimes he let himself get so carried away, get so lost in the merging of their bodies, that he forgot she was still human. That she would never get used to his power and speed unless he turned her.

And when he sent her over the edge and exploded in ecstasy right there with her and she felt him bottom out inside her and moan her name - in those moments she was so close to blurting it out.

That she wanted him to turn her.

But it was also those moments when she was clearly not thinking with her head. Only with her body. And with her heart. And that told her now that she knew she would give anything to spend eternity with him.

But she wasn't ready to tell him yet. Maybe it was the uncertainty, maybe it was the fear of losing control of her life.

Hell, maybe it was even the fear of death, she didn't know.

All she knew was that she needed him, just like he needed her. And that she would probably need him forever.

Forever in a world where forever actually existed. In a world where forever wasn't just an empty promise.

"I'll love you forever," she whispered, their bodies still entwined, both panting and sweating, his pupils so wide his eyes were all black, the hazel irises disappearing, and she swore she caught his eyes glistening over for a moment before he whispered back, "For all of eternity."
