Arthit's Pov---------

Kongpob asked if his safety was important for me ??

How would I tell him that it was paramount to me.

"What are you afraid of ??"

Kongpob asked.

I sighed as I sat up away from his side, but I still held his hand. I needed to have some time to organize my thoughts, so I twined our fingers in and out of each other's, just enjoying the feeling of skin on skin. That little spark was so nice...and the warmth of his hand was exquisite.

What was I afraid of ??

Losing him was really the only thing that I could think of. But being with me had to be his choice, I couldn't force him to change for me...but maybe he could still love me as I am ?? After I had almost lost control last night, here he was, still wanting to be close to me. I was just about ready to speak when he placed his fingers on my lips.

"Wait, before you start, I have something that I want to tell you...."

Kongpob had wanted me to speak, but now he wanted to go first ??

I was confused but nodded for him to go on.

"Arthit Rojnapat, I know that we haven't known each other very long, but I feel like I have been waiting for you all of my life. I have never felt more complete than I do when I am with you"

He paused for just a moment and then he said something that totally amazed me.

"Arthit..... I love you"

He loves me !!

So many things rushed through my mind. My fears had been baseless...He loves me !! My mate was here and maybe, just maybe we could be together forever. Joy exploded in my entire being.

"Kongpob !!"

I cried

"Oh, Kongpob..."

I leaned in and kissed him on his smiling lips. His hand slipped in my hair at the back of my head, his fingers running through the small strands. Our lips clung to each other's. After several kisses I leaned back enough to look into his eyes. They were like a deep pool of chocolates.

"There was only one thing I am afraid of. And that is losing you....."

I traced my fingers over his cheekbones, along his jaw line, up and over his eyebrows before I cupped my hands around his cheeks.

"Kongpob Suthiluck, I love you with my whole heart. I love you with my entire being. My love for you is now the basis of my very existence for all eternity....."

His smile had grown with each word that I said. He leaned towards me again and our lips met in tenderness and love. As he tried to deepen the kiss, I once again leaned away.

"Wait.... we have to talk about some things..."

I stuttered.

"That's what you said last night. We love each other, what else do we have to talk about right now ??"

Kongpob winked at me

"Can't we just keep kissing for a while longer ?? And talk later ??"

He had a mischievous look on his very handsome face.

I took a deep breath in, feeling the slightest burn. I swallowed the mouthful of venom that was there.

"You know I told you about our venom ?? How sharp my teeth are ?? Well, there is nothing that I would like more than kissing you, deeply, for hours even. But I am scared of what that can do to you...."

First time in 360 years I could hear my heart beats faster......

"Kongpob, you are the only person that I have kissed, since I have been changed. And being the over thinker that I tend to be, I wondered if I could even be this close to you, my venom can make you paralyzed for life Kong........"

I looked away.

"Wait, you have never kissed anyone before ?? I am your first ?? You are the smartest, most handsome and sexiest man I have ever met and you haven't been kissed ??"

His eyes were wide with amazement.

"I guess that makes me the luckiest, most blessed man in the world !!"

He leaned in to kiss me again and for a moment I let him.

"Kong..."

I said as I leaned away again.

"I told you my venom can be harmful for you, Aren't you afraid ??"

Kongpob shrugged.

"You will never do anything that can hurt me.... Right "

I nodded.

"I trust you Arthit.... "

"Thanks Kong.....but what if I hurt you unintended.....my venom...my strength..... It's too overwhelming, I am scared kong !!"

To my amazement, Kongpob laughed.

"My love...... Ahh....I could get used to calling you that, by the way...If Dr Noor didn't warn you off, I think we are safe. She expended a lot of energy helping me in my recovery. If a kiss from you was going to kill me, I think she would have told you that"

I thought that over. He was right. Noor had just told me to be careful, about my strength around Kongpob. But she hadn't said that I shouldn't kiss him or move on to other things...Other things..... that made my chest tight just thinking about it.... I want to claim my mate too..... I just need to learn to control my strength.

I made up my mind.

"Kongpob, I am new at this..... all these emotions and urges are making me jittery....please bear with me for some time.... let me learn to control my strength and instinct around you.... You have no idea how badly I want you..."

He froze in place, his eyes on mine. As I moved closer, his eyes moved to my lips and his formed a smile.

I kissed him lightly on the lips. He responded instantly, moving his lips gently beneath mine. Taking in a deep breath and holding it, I parted my lips and let my tongue trace the outline of his. He tasted so good and I let out the breath I was holding. When my breath hit his face he moaned.

Touching my lips along his jaw line, I pressed kisses up to his ear and then back to his lips. When I paused there, his mouth opened beneath mine, inviting me in. I slipped my tongue into his mouth.....a shudder of pure heavenly feeling ran down my spine. He was so sweet...so soft, so warm. As our tongues touched, that spark that we shared exploded and our gentle kisses turned into something else. Suddenly our hands were pulling each other closer, as close as we could be with his arm in a cast anyway. Our breath was coming in pants, our lips were crushed together.

I did as Jenny had suggested....... I just enjoyed the feelings that were rushing through me. I am not really sure how long we let our passions run wild, but suddenly Kongpob's stomach growled. Somehow it struck us both..... As funny as it is, and we were laughing and holding each other.

"Well, I guess it's time to feed the human"

I sat back up on the bed, gazing into the smiling eyes of my love.

"What would you like to eat ??"

I asked. Before I got the sentence out, Kongpob had leaned close and was running his teeth along my neck and up to my ear. When he reached there he whispered..... his breath warm,

"Well, if I can't have you right now...how about those pancakes you mentioned ??"

He leaned back to wait for my answer. It took me a few moments to get my thoughts gathered enough to even speak. His warm breath in my ear had totally scrambled my thoughts. Before I could form a coherent thought, I heard my cell ringing. I had left it in the living room last night. Trying my best..... Not to pin him down on the bed and have my way with him..... I stood up

"Sure I will make some pancakes after I answer my cell..."

He looked confused as I continued.

"I can hear it ringing, it's probably Jenny"

"You can hear it ringing ?? Where is it ??"

He was looking around the very quiet bedroom, not hearing a thing.

"Another perk of being a vampire is our excellent hearing. I can hear the phone in the living room...it's stopped for now, but I know she will call again in a few minutes"

He nodded and tried to get up from the bed, I helped him to his feet.

"Come on...let's feed the human. Later you can have a shower and then I will put some fresh dressings on your wound. Noor will lecture me nonstop if I didnt fulfill my promise to take care of your medical needs"

With smiles on our faces we made our way to the kitchen where Kongpob taught me how to make pancakes.

The next couple of days were joyful. They were full of kisses and questions and answers. After confessing to each other, we felt at ease around each other and settled into a routine. We would start the day in bed.... after I had watched him sleep all night. I would tell him in advance when I need to leave to feed. But I was always get back by the time he awoke. Those early morning kisses were addicting. Kongpob got his first shower, since being shot, two days later we reached Oregon. The wound was healing well. I only had to put a light dressing on it when he was done. We had to take special care of his cast to keep it dry. The hospital had given us zip up bags to slip over it while he showered to help with that. I know that he felt much better after getting really clean. I had told him that I would be waiting outside the bathroom, just in case he needed my help. I had leered at him asking if he wanted me to be in the bathroom...before laughing at him when he couldn't quite utter a word, his blushing face was a sight for my whipped heart and eyes.

I knew that he was a virgin and had confessed that I was too. But.... That didn't stop us from teasing each other in different ways. There was an unspoken line that we just didn't cross. Both of us held on to our primal instincts.... I was from a time when one just didn't go too far before marriage.... so I was shy and hesitant, and Kong was a little shy too or maybe scared to push my boundaries. We didn't feel like we were in a hurry to move our physical relationship forward just yet. We were enjoying taking things slow and getting to know each other. As heady as our kisses were, I wasn't sure that I could handle more right now anyway, without claiming him....and that leads me to the point of Biting.... I don't think I can hold back from biting him, and for that I have to be prepared.

I can't risk his life.

Jenny continued to call once or twice a day since that day of our confession. And it wasn't just Jenny.... I think that everyone in the family had spoken to us both several times. Noor wanted to know if I was keeping Kongpob fed and rest well enough. He assured her that I was learning to cook, well...to help him cook...really well. Bright said he missed his video game buddy. And when Kongpob retorted that there was no way he could beat a vampire at video games, Bright concurred, but said it was fun watching Kongpob lose. Jenny teased Kongpob about driving his Porsche all over while he was gone. Kongpob told her to go right ahead, as long as she could avoid an accident.

On Tuesday I drove him to the Hospital to get his physical therapy appointments set up. He was still not allowed to do anything heavy because of his gunshot wound, but starting next week he would be able to begin some light training. He was warned, again, to not try anything with his hand. That's what Noor spoke to him about when she called the first few times. When I tried to apologize for my family's intrusiveness, Kongpob laughed and hugged me. He told me that it was wonderful being in a family again. He missed his friends so much. May and Aim were his family too, but having so many Rojnapats caring about him made him very happy. He told me more than once that he was very pleased that we had all come into his life.

May called daily too. She also do video calls, showing her ever expanding belly. We both marveled over how big she was getting. Kongpob was already planning to be back in Bangkok for the birth of his God son.

During this time of discovery of ourselves, we didn't speak about the future. It was enough right now just to be together, enjoying the time we spent together. I don't know how long this idyll would have lasted if Jenny hadn't called us two weeks later with some news........

We would be having company soon.

"Arthit, I want you to know that we will be there just as soon as we can"

Jenny exclaimed, obviously rushed.

"You are getting company soon...and I think that you might need us with you"

"What...??"

The anxiety in her voice made my tension levels raise immediately. Kongpob, hearing the tense sound in my voice, moved nearer and put his arms around my waist.

"Who's coming and why ??"

"Tootah and his Mate... They were there for the vacations and must have run across your scent, maybe a trail you left while you went to feed. Tootah called this morning and asked about you, when Knott confirmed that it might be you because you are in Oregon right now, He said they would like to pay a visit to you, soon. We are leaving now and we will be with you just as soon as we can get there"

"Why should you come ?? I have been friends with Tootah and Harry for decades...What's the problem ??"

I couldn't comprehend why she would be worried.

"It's...Hina...... She is with Tootah too"

She paused and let that sit in my mind for a moment.

"You know how Hina is.... What she think about humans and how she treats them.... Specially handsome Man"

I could hear the anger in Jenny's voice. It had almost come to a brawl the last time she has visited us. We both thought back to all the times when she tried to tempt Me, Knott, Bright, Prem or Wad to enjoy a fling with her. It's not like Hina really wanted Me or one of my male family members, it's just that it was a game for her. She loves to toy with handsome men.... Specially human men.... because according to her they are so weak and vulnerable and that's makes her eager to play with them.

Hina is the most veteran vampire we have known. She is almost 5000 years older and she is extremely beautiful. She could even tempt a saint to come and be intimate with her. In fact she had tried her charms on the most saintly person I know.......... Knott, Once about forty years ago. I thought that Noor was going to kill her that time. She had finally promised to leave him alone...forever. And for us, that's a very long time.

I have been her constant target from the last 150 years or so, for being the only single member in the family..... But I don't do flings, I don't believe in that kind of relationships. Being intimate just for the physical pleasure.....is not my thing. For me if my heart isn't involved, my body won't seek for any kind of release..... Loosing myself into the waves of Lust, it's somehow feels degrading to me. So.... I never intertain her advances on me and that infuriates her a lot.

Tootah is a wonderful person and we all loves him a lot, he used to live with us in his starting years as a vampire..... But when he found his mate in Harry, he decided to leave with him. Harry and Hina are twins and they were changed together, millenniums ago. The deo of brother and sister, loves to travel and explore new places, they dosen't like to live alongside with humans and pretend to be one of them. They think humans are below than us and they should be used just as a food or as a toy. Their different mindset about humans and vampires have caused so many conflicts between us. And.... Tootah decided to leave with his mate, to save his relationship with us.... He couldn't leave his Mate, but he doesn't want to loose us either. So.... We visit each other from time to time and catch up every decade or two.

Jenny is worried because she is hella pissed off with Hina...... During her last visit, Ten years ago, Hina had tricked Bright into going on an errand away from us. If Jenny hadn't suspected and followed him, Bright would have been compromised, very much against his will. And Jenny would have killed Hina.

"They will be there soon Okay..."

I looked up in the chocolate eyes of the man that I loved. He smiled that crooked smile that took my breath away. He looked so sexy. There was no denying that he was exactly the kind of man that Hina would like.

"We will see you soon Jenny, be safe...and hurry"

"What's up ?? The family is coming ?? That's great !! I can hardly wait to see them"

Kongpob looked happy, but he was confused because of my worried expression.

"But why would you sound so worried ??"

I took a deep breath, the burn was there, but not bothering me anymore.

"Bright and Jenny are coming.... But later. They will probably be here around dawn. But, we are having company.... Now"

Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as Jenny thought, maybe Hina would behave herself. I could hope, right ??

"Who's coming now ??"

Kongpob looked interested,

"Vampires ??"

"Yes...My old friend and his family are down here for some reason and apparently found my trails around the area. They would have recognized my scent"

I pulled Kongpob closer into my arms

"Kongpob, have you ever heard stories about the women who entice men into their beds, sometimes killing them, sometimes leaving them to explain to their spouses just who that woman was that they just slept with ??"

He was nodding as I explained.

"I think I have seen a movie about that. The role was played by Angelina Jolie and the poor actor didn't stand a chance against her. Is that what you are talking about ??"

"Exactly right... My friend, Hina.... She is that sort of women !! "

Kongpob looked just as confused as before.

"So why is Jenny and Bright are coming ?? Did they want to spend some time with your friends ??"

He just didn't get it. And I hoped it wouldn't come down to him having to get it, but I should prepare him just in case...... Just in case Jenny's suspicion was right, that Kong could be Hina's new target.

"I am hoping that Jenny is going to be wrong about this...but she feels that Hina could try to play with you"

He still looked confused.

"Kong.... Hina is a very strong Vampire. She has thousands of years experience and she is without a doubt the most beautiful women you would have ever seen. She somehow has a special gift..... A gift of enticement"

Kongpob still looked confused.

"She can draw a man to her, any man...vampire or human"

His eyes widened with panic....

"Have you ever been drawn to her ?? Is she is your Ex ?? Or worse.... are you cheating on her with me.... Is that why you are worried ??"

He asked in a hesitant voice.

"I have been her target from a very long time..... But she never got the chance to put her hands on me.... I never let her do that. Kong, for me love and lust goes the same way, and you are the first person I have ever loved. So....No, I have never been drawn to her and she is definitely not my Ex.... Nor I am cheating on her with you..... Don't ever think that I could do that to you. You are the One for me Kong..... The only one"

"So Why are you worried than ??"

He asked still confused.
Kongpob.....my man is so sweet and innocent..... He doesn't have any idea how appealing he is.... He couldn't see the problem Yet.

"Kong, Jenny feels that Hina might be interested in you, that she will try to get you...to have her way with you. I can't help but agree with her. If that would be the case..... She will never shy away to use her gift on you. And if she does, you won't be able to resist her"

Now he was looking worried. I quickly spoke up....

"Don't worry..... As long as you are close to me, at least within the same room, she won't be able to mess with your mind. Her gift won't work on you if you are with me. You absolutely must stay with me. Because she will try..."

"But Arthit, I love you more than I can even say or more than you can imagine !! There is no men or women out there, who can change my heart"

His eyes were looking into mine and I could see the truth there. But he just didn't understand.

"Kongpob, that's the thing..... She is not an ordinary women, she is a vampire.... Much experienced and powerfl one and she has a special gift too"

I hugged him tighter.

"Please, just stay with me. Don't let her get you away from me, no matter what she says"

When he still didn't look convinced, I told him about the last time they visited. And what had nearly happened with Bright.....and the debacle with Knott years earlier. He asked if Wad and Prem had ever been approached.

"Prem don't trust her at all..... He always leave for a long vacation with Wad, whenever she visits us"

I told him with a laugh and he laughed with me.

"How long will they stay ??"

He asked.

"I am not sure, but the family will be here in the morning and they will help keep her busy...and away from you"

I paused, peeking up at Kongpob from beneath my lashes.

"Unless..."

"Unless what, love ??"

"Well, unless you would like to have some time alone with her"

A growl erupted from deep inside Kongpob's chest, a growl fit for a vampire. He pinned me against the wall and proceeded to kiss me until I couldn't think straight. He didn't even ask for permission to take my mouth as he slipped his tongue deeply into mine, teasing me, making me kiss him back and to take control in my hands. Not long after, he was the one pinned to the wall and I was the one sucking his lucious lips like my life depended on it. He moaned so deliciously into my mouth and I felt my body tighten with the efforts I have to put through, to hold myself back from claiming him right there.......... This wasn't the right time for even think about that.

Minutes, or hours, has passed when I heard a knock at the door. We both were panting as we put an inch or two of space between us.

"Company's here..."

We both brushed our clothes into place and Kongpob tried to tame his hair. I had run my fingers through it too many times for any taming to take place. We made our way to the front door. The scent of vampires filled my nose, even through the closed door. I took a steadying breath and smiled up at Kongpob for just a moment. He smiled back at me and I gave him a quick peck on the lips. Another knock sounded.

I turned the knob and opened the door.

Hina, Tootah and Harry were grouped together on the wide front porch. They took in Kongpob and me, their eyes widening at the sight of our interlocked hands. Of course they knew that he was human, they could smell him a mile away.

"Well...Well...."

Hina began.

"Looks like Arthit has found himself a boy toy...a Human one"

Her smile was wide, showing each and every perfect tooth, shining with venom. Lighting up her breathtakingly beautiful face.

🌞🌜🌞🌜🌞🌜🌞🌛🌞🌛🌞🌛🌞

I missed Tootah so I added him to the stroy. Well..... It looks like our Kong has gotten himself an another stalker..... This time a powerful one.
