Success!!
“You planned all of this from the start?” I asked looking from him to the room we faced.
“In many ways yes I did, I didn’t know for sure that you would say yes or that I would find the perfect person to make the dress. I love the way you looked in that vision I sent you so much I had to make it real!” Draven shrugged as he looked down at her. Into those amazing eyes of hers.
The night was a dream, dancing meeting new vampires who had turned out to love the things I had brought into the vampire world. A few loved my dress so much they asked for the person's name. Of course I had to give them the location of her store. Ceri would be a millionaire in a year at the rate I was going. That put a brighter smile on my face. Looking at Draven as he spoke to another vampire who looked much like he did. It shocked me when my mom and dad appeared out of the crowd. It couldn't be a better night. As the night started to go into the day time hours everyone started to go to their rooms. I wanted to see if I could walk in the sun. So I waited by the balcony that just a few hours ago. The sun started to rise and I stood frozen in the shadow. I wasn't really sure I could do this, even though I told myself I could.
Hands went around my waist pulling me into a hard chest. Putting my hands over his I sighed.
"I know you can do this." Draven told me as the sun started to filter into the room.
I watched as the stream of light shined showing off the dust motes in the rays. I took a deep breath stepping out of his arms. Slowly I took steps into the light. Frist my feet then going up to my thighs. I didn't feel any different but my skin was covered. Once the light hit my waist I turned to look at Draven who was hidden in shadows. Taking a deep breath I stepped into the sun feeling it on my face. When I turned to look inside I heard his gasp. This would have been perfect if he was with me. I closed my eyes letting the sun warm my skin.
A moment later I felt his arms around my waist. I was so shocked that I jumped pushing him back into the shadow. I looked him over to be sure that he was alright. No signs of burning. When I looked into his eyes I could see the pure joy on his face.
"What are you thinking?" I yelled at him. "You're a pure blood vampire. That son could have really hurt you."
"Natalia did you see any burns on my skin?" Draven couldn't help but laugh. He had seen the sun come up and came to no harm.
"How?" I looked at him watching the joy on his face.
Thinking about it I thought came to me. Was it possible that my blood had changed him? By sharing my blood the nano's got into his system, which changed him enough that he could be in the sun. Elysium would be over the moon about this, once we did test that was. This time he got to get the needles and I could watch. Well maybe I don't like the sight of blood, yes a vampire can't stand the site of blood. What a joke.
"I don't know, but Natalia this is just made things better. Look." Draven pulled his phone out of his pocket showing me the image of me standing in the sunlight.
I looked like an angel, the way the light had landed it looked like I had wings. The photographer stood behind up smiling brightly. It would seem that he had captured it as well. Tears glistened in my eyes as I hand the phone back. Pulling him into my arms as he leaned toward me, I kissed him letting my lips touch his. The touch of his tongue had me opening to him in. My heart was full and nothing could make it better. Well maybe somethings could, but in this moment I was happier than I had ever been.
"These have to be the best photos I have ever taken." The photographer said as he pointed the camera toward us.
"Enough fof that, let us enjoy this." Draven told him with a smile.
We watched as he packed up his camera stuff then turned back to the sun. I yawned as I leaned back on him.
"I have an idea of how this happened." I told him not moving from his arms.
"Oh?" Draven pulled me away from the sun heading toward our room. "Do tell."
"You drank my blood, more than once." I explained as we entered the room. "I think that is how you pass the nano's to the males."
Looking around the room I smiled. Stone walls with a fire place on the far side. A large bed on the other wall. Fur rug was by the fire, which I always wondered why they would do that seeing as fires can spark. Two chairs sat on top of the rug with a small table between them. A small door let to a bathroom with a sunken tub. Draven helped me to get out of the dress. slowly he worked to untie and strip the outer gown off. Letting it pool at my feet. Feeling his lips touch my neck his hands moving to untie the coreset. Which I was very happy to be rid of.
"That might be true." Draven whispered against my skin.
The feel of the coreset falling from my body felt freeing. Taking a deep breath I turned toward him undoing the belt around his duvlet.
"Will have to ask Elysium when we get back." I looked up at him seeing the tears in his eyes. "Why the tears?"
I never did find out why, he stripped his clothes off leaving them on the floor. I wrapped my legs around his was it when he lifted me out of the dress. I captured his lips as he moved toward the bed.
