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

Today is my wedding day. As we weren't sure if we could claim our marital status with a centuries old marriage certificate ..... So, I am going to marry my soul mate again and tomorrow I will bite him to turn him into one of us...

A Vampire.

That is, if I can stop myself before draining him completely...Everyone has such faith in me. Kong, Knott and the rest of the family believes that I will do the right thing and stop in time.

One portion of my mind isn't really worried about draining him off. Because, I hadn't felt that overpowering blood lust around him, not even when he was badly injured and bleeding heavily, when we found him at the beach house. And I hadn't felt it after that incident either. But to actually bite him, to have an open wound flowing with his sweet blood and to take that sweetest nectar flow through my tongue and throat, YES... that concerns me. My throat is still tight every time I am with him, but I just push it, to the back of my mind. Another part of my mind, the part that was certainly a blood craving beast, is very excited about being given the chance to drink from him...

Tomorrow will be his last day as human, I will be essentially killing him, forcing my venom into his system that will change him into something inhuman as well as... An immortal. It's what he wanted, and to be honest, I want it too. I do want to spend forever with him. But my fears were trying to overwhelm me and that blood craving beast in me, keeps grinning from his cage inside my mind. He is showing me his teeth, his shiny strong venom coated teeth...

Noor had assured me, several times in fact, that Kong's change would be fine, that I have enough control and knowledge to change my mate and they all would be close by to take care of any unexpected situation.

Yes, the family has faith in me that I can do this. Knott especially felt that I was capable of changing my mate. Kongpob was putting his very life in my hands for this event. It touched me more than I ever thought it would, that he could trust me this much. The thought of having my own venom change him filled me with something beyond joy, that he loved and trusted me that much. And it was damn sexy, too.

As Bright and Prem fussed over my tux jacket I was pulled out from my musings. As they turned me to face the mirror, my mind spun off an another tangent...Kong as a new born Vampire. I have no idea how the change is going to affect him. I was changed close to death, with no idea that vampires even existed. But... We have afforded him full disclosure so he knows what to expect. Would that have an impact on his change ?? Will he regret his change in the future ?? I know music is so important for him and he loves to perform. I know Aim and May and now his godson too... They are his family, he loves them. I was afraid, will he regret to leave behind so many things just to be with me ?? I was really scared, there were just so many things to think about.

As Bright and Prem continued to get me ready for the ceremony, my mind drifted back to the last few weeks...

It's been a month and a half since Kong woke up from his coma... Or we can say he came back from his time travel to my human days.

It took him almost a month to get back to his proper health and as soon as he was back on his feet... Steady and strong, he demanded to be changed. He said he doesn't want to wait anymore. I know one of the biggest reason for his urgency was intimacy.... He wants me to make Love with him... And believe me I was dying to feel him that close to me, feel that connection between our bodies and souls, to feel his warmth surround my frozen self. But I was afraid... Afraid of loosing control over my vampiric strength and hurt him in those euphoric moments. I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to him.

He is my life now.

Kong wanted to have a proper wedding to show the whole world that we belong together. He wants Aim and May, alongside with his godson, to be the part of the best moment of his life. I too, want to take the blessings of my whole family while claiming my mate as my husband infront of everyone. Our wedding date has been set after two weeks and I can't wait to meet him at the altar to have him all for myself for all the eternity.

Kong has decided to release a new music album after our marriage and he has been very busy working on it lately. Though he has written most of the songs while recovering from his first accident, in Oregon, and he was working on the compositions back in 1660 and completed them after coming back to present time. He just needed to put all of his hardwork together into a final result... It still has a lot of work to be done and May being busy with the baby, makes it much more hectic for him. Jenny and Bright has volunteered to help him and Kong was beyond happy. I was helping him too, so was the rest of the family and the release date was set after the next week of our wedding.

Kong has decided to work only with music albums now and not to do anymore concerts and 'on stage' performances. Because the more he will be in limelight the more difficult it would be, to hide his real identity. He has already announced our marriage to the media and stated that he wanted to prioritise his personal life over everything.

We have decided to shift to Newyork after the wedding. We are officially closing the 'Guardian Angels' and ready to be the part of Kongpob Suthiluck's Management team. We will work together for his music and the release of his future albums. I will be his manager, Jenny will be his personal assistant and Bright will be his bodyguard. Kong is planning to continue his music career for few more years. And I am going to support him in his every decision.

Whole Rojnapat family has been busy getting everything ready for our wedding. Mr. Green had been delighted when we asked him to perform the ceremony. Angela, after she was done squealing over the news, was put in charge of inviting most of our short guest list.

Kong and I had gone to see Aim, May and the baby. Upon hearing the news of our wedding date set after two weeks, May had flung her arms around Kong's neck first and then around mine. She had told me that she had never seen Kong as happy as he was now and that she wished us all the joy in the world. She also said that she thought that his parents would have loved me. I choked up as I met Kong's eyes. He was nodding in agreement to May's words, as a soft smile played around his lips.

Aim was thrilled to be Kong's best man. And he was planning to set up a wild bachelor's party for Kong. Bright was so excited about the idea too and Kong was mortified by his teasings. A blush had covered his face when Bright had said that they would all go to a strip club. Kong had immediately put the brakes on that idea. They finally decided to stay at Kong's house and play video games and eat pizza. Aim would join them there. Bright,Prem and Wad had taken him aside and quietly told him that they would take him out for a real wild time at a later date after his change.

Knott had worked his magic and our wedding license had been rushed through the government officials. Jenny had selected the perfect tux for me and Kong. Noor had selected the cake and flowers, white freesias, gardenias and carnations. They were now adorning our backyard, the patio and gazebo. Noor and Jenny both has turned out The Rojanpat's backyard into a beautiful piece of paradise. Caterers would set up a buffet dinner in the house for the human guest invited to our reception.

When Knott asked, if we are going to wear our old wedding rings, I said that I promised Kong in the past, to buy new wedding rings in the future... but Kong said that he wanted to choose the rings this time and looked over at Jenny. She had walked out of the room and returned carrying a deep blue velvet bag that she handed to Kong. He had pulled me aside and shown me his parent's rings. He said that we could buy new ones if these didn't suit me. I hastened to assure him that these rings, that meant so much to him, would be more than appropriate for us, especially after I read what his parents had inscribed in them. The words nestled inside touched me deeply...

'Now and Forever' inside Kong's ring

And

'Joy Without End' inside mine

We slipped the rings on to check for size. They fit us both perfectly. We held them out to admire them. They looked so right on our fingers, especially after we twined our hands together.

"Something old...and cherished"

Kong said and then he had flung himself into my arms and I kissed him firecly.

After getting the rest of the arrangements set in motion, Kong and my three brothers had gone back to his house for their bachelor's party. Knott wanted to throw a party for me too but I denied the idea, I was too worked up to enjoy anything right at this moment. Until Kong has not been turned successfully and safely I won't be able to breathe normally. So Knott has joined the other at Kong's house. He assured me that he would make sure that he will keep Bright in check. I just shook my head and smiled. Knott could get nearly as wild as Bright and others, but I was sure that this evening he would keep things low key.

I was watching Noor and Jenny put the finishing touches to the back yard, gazebo and reception area. And for me... I had planned to feed tonight. I would need all the control that I could muster for what was coming, My wedding night...my wedding night with my human husband.

The What If's had plagued me as I broke into the blood Bank and gulped pint after pint of the thick red liquid. When I was sated and couldn't drink another drop, I came back to the house and joined Noor and Jenny in the backyard. So much had happened since I met Kongpob, I was in love and my soul mate was in love with me too. We were getting married in a matter of few hours.

My knees were drawn up to my chest when Noor had come and sat beside me. Her hand had softly caressed my hair as we sat and looked up at the stars. It had been a beautiful, clear evening and the stars had been spread from one side of the sky to the other. The soft sounds of the forest around our house, were soothing.

After several minutes Noor had started to speak quietly.

"Arthit, you are the first one to join our family and I love you the most, ofcourse after my mate. The love I see in your eyes for Kong fills me with such joy. You have completed our family and I cannot thank you enough for giving us an another member to our loving family"

She had reached over and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead.

I had leant my head down and now laid it onto her welcoming shoulder.

"Noor, I am worried about...having enough control...on our wedding night..."

Noor's arm had come around my shoulders and she had squeezed me tightly.

"Arthit, you love him and he loves you. Just listen to your heart, and his, and everything will be fine. After tomorrow you won't have to worry as much about his...durability"

Her comment had made me laugh just a little. Durability...that was a good word !! Kong just needed to survive the night with me and my biting him and then he would be more durable, for an eternity.

"But I would suggest you to let him take the lead this time.... Last time when you both were intimate, you were human but right now you have to control your strength and believe me... it's gonna be real hard to hold back in those blissful moments... You will be in better control if you let him decide the pace of your love making, at your wedding night "

Noor said with a soft smiling face but my face would have turned bright red if I was still human.

"Thanks, Noor, I do appreciate your words but please, can we not talk about this any further"

I was still smiling and cringing inside at the hidden meaning behind her words. Noor had nodded and looked back up at the stars.

"What can't we talk about ??"

Jenny asked as she joined us. I shuddered, thinking what she could have heard if she had arrived even moments earlier !!

"Nothing that you need to be interested in...it was a Mother and Son moment !!"

Noor had said as she looked over at me and winked.

Jenny smirked at me and said,

"I bet it was the SEX talk !! Did she make it good ?? Did she bring flash cards to show to the Virgin.... Ohhh but we were wrong about you being the oldest virgin in our family. Hey Arthit.... Do you still remember what happened almost three hundred and sixty years ago ?? Will it still count ?? As you have been out of practice for so long... "

I leaped to my feet planning on tackling her when she raised her hand to stop me.

"Hey brother, don't worry she gave this talk to me and Bright too, on the eve of our marriage !! But She stopped when I told her that Bright and I had already.... crossed that hurdle in our relationship before marriage"

Jenny and Noor were both laughing at the look on my face. Pointing my finger at her face I exclaimed,

"I expect a comment like that from BRIGHT, but not from YOU, jenny !!"

"Well, I told Bright that he should better not tease you about any of this, if that makes you feel any better. I told him that I would tease you just a little, that made him feel better. I also pointed out that Kong was going to be a new born Vampire and therefore much stronger than him for the next several months."

She chuckled before she continued,

"I don't think that Kong would take that sort of teasing about his mate very well !!"

I grinned before I shrugged,

"I will be there to comfort Bright when he gets his butt kicked !!"

Jenny laughed gleefully and me and Noor both joined in it with her.

"I think that everything is all set for tomorrow"

Noor stated.

I nodded in thanks to her as we all sat and looked up at the stars. Clouds were starting to gather to the southwest. My wedding day would be cloudy, but I hope there would have no rain. But... It really didn't matter to me, it was going to be a joy filled day, no matter what.

We continued to sit in the back yard for the next couple of hours and discussed the other plans for wedding. After the reception, Kong and I would go to the airport where we would take a private chartered plane to Oregon. Suthiluck house in Oregon is the best place for a new born Vampire to spend his initial days of change and yet far enough away from humans to be safe.

And it was the perfect place for our wedding night...beautiful and secluded. Kong had a local service go in today and get it set up and stocked for our arrival. One of the cars was already waiting at the local airport for our trip to the house.

The family would join us the next morning. I wanted them to be near us when the time came to change Kong. All of their faith in me was good, but I wanted some strong arms close by, just in case.

Knott had some ideas on how to make the change as easy on Kong as it could be. The sensation of burning of venom at the start was intense. Noor hoped that maybe an ice bath would help Kong, trying it certainly couldn't hurt. Knott suggested that we should measure the appropriate amount of venom to change a human safely, beforehand. With that in mind, I had already donated a accurately measured amount of my venom in a large metal syringe to be pushed directly into his veins after I made the initial bite at his throat.

All of these things ran through my mind as I prepared to become Mr Suthiluck. Yes... we have decided to keep Kong's family name to pay our respect to his parents and also for seeking their blessings.

Noor's voice brought me back to the present.

"Arthit, you look so handsome..."

Her eyes shimmered and if she could have, she would have shed a few tears at this moment.

I smiled and kissed her lightly on her cheek before turning to look at myself in the huge mirror. The vision in the glass stared back at me in amazement. Wad's words from so long ago came to me...I was glowing... It was like there was a light, deep inside my eyes that caused a shimmer to highlight my entire body. I turned and gave Jenny a kiss on her cheek too and hugged Bright, Prem and Wad.

"Thank you..."

I would have had tears running down my own face at that moment and they all looked the same.

"Let's go over the checklist..."

Jenny exclaimed, trying to diffuse the tension. We all laughed gently and passed quick hugs around.

"Something old..."

I held up my hand with my lovely engagement ring on it.

"And our wedding rings, that Aim had better have safely tucked away."

Wad said,

"Something new..."

and pointed at my tux.

Noor, as she adjusted my bow, began,

"Something borrowed..."

I borrowed it from Knott.

Jenny twirled twice in her bright gold dress, causing the pleats to swirl widely around her knees before kneeling at the dresser's lower drawer, holding a blue handkerchief to me.

"Something blue..."

I slipped it inside my pocket.

A soft knock on the door was followed by Knott stepping into the room. He looked amazing in his tux and Noor sucked a deep breath in. They locked eyes for a moment and the love they felt for each other was nearly palpable. I couldn't believe how blessed I was to have found the same kind of love for myself. The way they looked at each other was the way that I felt when I looked at Kong. I truly am blessed... First to have a family like them and last but not the least to have a perfect mate like Kongpob.

"Ahhh, Arthit...you are looking stunning like always...."

Knott ran a gentle hand across my shoulder.

"Are you ready to meet Kong at the altar ??"

At my nod he continued,

"His heart rate is tripping along like a hummingbird's !! We better go before he faints..."

Noor kissed me once again before she and knott headed out, Prem and Wad followed them with Jenny. Bright stayed with me.... Why ??
Because he was my best man this time. According to him Knott has his chance at my human wedding and now it's his turn.

Do I have any choice to say anything... No... So it was a yes !!

Now Me and Bright, we followed Jenny out to the patio, to where my heart was waiting.

**********************************

Kongpob's Pov---------

I always knew that I would be married at some point in my life. I wanted the same kind of relationship that I saw my parents had... Loving each other, trusting each other, laughing with each other. Then seeing that spark burst into flame and they would be like teenagers, not able to keep their hands off of each other. Their PDA had caused me some major embarrassment in my teen years, but the laughter they shared also caused me some envy. I wanted all of that for myself too.

I wasn't willing to settle for any less than what my parents had, it was all or nothing for me. Although after loosing my parents, I was craving badly to find that one person that would be everything to me. If someone had told me few months ago that I would be totally and irrevocably in love with an amazing man, who also happened to be a vampire, and would be getting married today, I would have laughed at them. Shaking my head as I looked at myself in the mirror, I laughed at myself. There truly were no limits of love, either for how fast it could come, or for how long it would last.

Forever...

That's how long this love I felt for Arthit would last. Today was the first day of forever...and I couldn't be happier.

Stepping out of the dressing room and into the beautiful sitting room, I moved to the window and twitched the drapes aside. I looked down and over the beautifully decorated patio and gazebo. Jenny had placed the colors everywhere. The guests were starting to arrive now.

Aim had left a few minutes earlier to help May with the baby for just a minute. He said he will be back when it was time for us to make our way to the gazebo. I had told him to go ahead and I would meet him downstairs when it was time. Finding it hard to stand still, I paced around the space, looking at the various paintings that Noor had on her walls. None of them could hold my attention for long. Finally sitting on one of the comfortable chairs I thought back over the last few months......

Stalked by that crazy Mother and daughter duo...

Meeting Arthit and his family...

Being kidnapped and shot...

Arthit's saving me....

Arthit's revealing of his real identity and our love confessions...

The car accident and the time travel...

Meeting Arthit in the past and getting married to him...

Making sure of his change and coming back to claim my vampire...

The whirlwind of activities in the last two weeks and preparing for this day...
.
.
.
.

Shaking my head I thought about my bachelor's party. I was very grateful that Bright was persuaded to not take us to a strip club. My face felt hot just thinking about it. It was one thing for me to think about a nearly naked Arthit, and believe me that thought had crossed my mind more than I can count easily. But seeing anyone else that way ?? That was just crude for me.

We had a great time anyway. Now that I knew what to look for, it really impressed me how the Rojanapat's appeared to eat, without ingesting a single bite. I thought about challenging Bright to a pizza eating contest in front of Aim, but then I thought about how strong he was, and just how he would get me back. Arthit had told me that I would be stronger than any of them for the first several months of my life as a vampire. I was really looking forward to that aspect of my new life.

It was late when we sent Aim home in a cab. He wasn't drunk, just slightly buzzed, but I didn't want to take a chance with his safety. I have told him earlier about the surprise I have planned for them. I booked a vacation package for Him, May and the baby...in Hawaii. He couldn't believe it. But I manipulated him by telling him about the joy that accepting this gift would give me. Aim kept saying that it was too much, I told him that he could buy the difference flavoured lube and condoms for me for my wedding night and we would call it even. He finally accepted, stating that he did still have few weeks of paternity leave left.

The knowledge that they would be away around my change and in the initial days after me becoming a vampire, took a huge weight off of my chest. I couldn't take any chances with their lives.

After he was gone, Bright tried, once again, to fill me in on all the perks of being a vampire and their amazing sex life. I think he just liked to make me blush. The lack of blushing in my new life was going to be a total perk !!

Knott went over the preparations that they had made for my change. At one point during the discussion of syringes filled with venom and burning pain, Wad looked at me and finally spoke.

"Kong, you amaze me. You don't look scared or hesitant at all. Why is that ??"

I thought over his question before answering him.

"Its not like that, I do feel a little afraid of the process. All of you have told me your memories of being changed. It has sounded scary from each viewpoint. But, you all did come out of the change and have found someone to love, to love forever. I have already found my soul mate, my love. Arthit will be with me through it all and he will be waiting for me on the other side of that hell. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me, few days of hell for a lifetime with my Arthit. Yes, it sounds like a fair trade to me."

My cell phone had rung right then. It was Arthit wishing me a good night. He told me that he loved me and he can't wait to see me in my wedding tux at the altar. We spoke a few more minutes and then said goodbye and goodnight, apart for the last time.

Bright was going to stay at the house with me. He will play video games while I slept then take me over to the house first thing in the morning.

Jenny's organizational skills had taken all of our ideas and put them into action. This was going to happen... Our marriage and I couldn't wait.

The door opened and Wad entered the sitting room. I heard the sound of music coming up the stairs. I knew that it was time for me to make my way into the garden.

"Kong, are you ready ?? There is a gorgeous man upstairs in my room who I hear is prepared to meet you at the altar."

"Have you seen him, Wad ?? How's he looking today ?? Was he nervous ??"

I stood up and came to stand next to him.

Wad just shook his head.

"A little bit, And about his looks.... Ohh Man You are going to be robbed of your breaths, pretty terribly "

He winked at me. I felt a pleasing shudder going down to my bones in anticipation.

"Were you nervous when you married Prem ??"

I asked him as he straightened my tie for me.

"We had been together for most of our lives before we found the Rojnapat's and I knew that I loved him beyond life itself, but when I was waiting at the altar for him, I was nervous, but only until I got that first glimpse of his smiling face. The joy radiating off of him was almost more than I could bear, and it totally alleviated my nerves"

He gave my tie a last twitch and stepped back.

"You are going to feel the same or maybe much more... "

I laughed and stepped passed him and walked down the stairs to where Aim waited for me. I was surprised at the number of people assembled in the chairs. Our guest list was actually quite small. I guess my nerves made it feel like it was a concert hall full of people. Everyone was smiling at me and Aim as we made our way to the gazebo where Mr. Green was waiting. I shook his hand and then turned to wait for my husband.

The doors opened at the opposite side of me and I felt my heart rate begin to rise. My breathtaking groom was just on the other side of those doors. I gasped at the utterly handsome man standing there. His charcoal eyes met mine at that moment and any nerves that I felt slid firmly away. Only joy remained.

Everyone stood as He made his way across the patio to where I stood waiting. Arthit paused as he reached me. I couldn't take my eyes off of his gorgeous face, he was looking so handsomely beautiful that he really made me breathless... He raised his hand towards me and I lifted my hand to place it in his cool and firm one, Arthit gave my shaking hand an affectionate squeeze before stepping back to stand straight. When his cool fingers were in my warm ones any lingering fears fled from my mind and soul. This was right. More right than anything I had ever hoped or prayed for.

**********************************

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

As soon as I stepped into the hall I saw Kong standing there, waiting for me looking OH. SO. Handsome as always.

I walked up to him, held his hand and looked into his eyes. He looked as dazzled as I felt. A part of my mind, heard the words that were spoken by Mr. Green, but all I could concentrate on... were Kong's eyes. They were so alive and so full of words that didn't need to be spoken. He stared into my eyes and it was almost as if he could read my mind, clearly and completely. We faced each other and repeated the vows as required, but all we heard were the lines of love that were running back and forth between us. Both of our "I do's" were loud and clear.

Aim handed the rings off with grace, and they were soon on our fingers.

After a final prayer Mr. Green
paused then said with a wide smile,

"You may kiss your husband now"

Kong stepped into my waiting arms and we kissed each other soundly, only drawing apart when our guests burst into loud applause and cheering.

Mr. Green cleared his throat and exclaimed,

"May I present, for the first time ever, Mr. and Mr. Suthiluck"

Only if he knew that we were married from centuries. Kong leaned forward and kissed me once again, lightly, and then we turned and made our way into a crowd of well wishers. We were passed from one person to another, being kissed and hugged by our family. Kong and I held our hands firmly entwined the entire time. We received handshakes and hugs from our guests And slapping on the back by my brothers and Aim.

Tootah attended my wedding too with his family and as Heena stepped up before Kong. Everyone gave her very pointed looks. She glared back before she laughed and hugged him tightly, saying,

"Hey, I promised to be good !!"

She kept her lips, and her power to herself which is the only thing that saved her from my wrath.

The photographer that Jenny had chosen had taken pictures during the ceremony and now she called for the couple posed shots. Noor invited the guests into the house to have the dinner. We had decided that having a designated photographer would feed the media's need to know everything about the celebrity portion of Kongpob's life. She was very good at what she did and was pleased that she would get this scoop. We had paid her very well and she wouldn't have a need to sell any of these photos. She would make sure that every news outlet had a set, with her magazine getting the first ones. It was a good compromise between privacy and the public's perceived need to know.

It didn't take very long to get the shots that Jenny wanted. All I wanted was to be in close proximity with Kong the entire time. We kept stealing kisses and getting lost in each other's eyes. It wouldn't have taken nearly as long if we could have kept our hands to ourselves. We finally got finished and then it was time for us to mingle with our guests. We separated to make our rounds, but I noticed that we were always aligned with each other. I know he noticed too, because every time I looked up our glances would lock for long moments.

The cake was lovely and Kong was sweet to only give me the smallest taste on my lips. I stunned him when I sucked the pad of his fingertip, holding the frosting into my mouth. I could feel my eyes begin to darken when we broke the pose and I swept him into my arms again for a deep kiss. It was hard to stop, but when I heard Knott clear his throat prior to speaking, I decided that perhaps we should put a bit of space between us.

After the first dance with my newly wedded husband, where I have to control myself to hold him closer and stop myself to kiss him harder again and again. We all went for the dinner. I checked at Kong time to time, between all the talks and the teasings, Kong is back to his good health but I just want him to enjoy his few last meals left with his human life as well. Jenny called us and said that it was time to change for the trip to Oregon. She told me that there were clothes waiting for me in Noor and Knott's room and then she whisked Arthit away and up the stairs. My mate smiled back over his shoulder at me and blew me a kiss.

Just as I stepped out of the dressing room in my black slacks and dark green button down silk shirt, l saw Kong with Bright and Prem stepping into the living room. Bright appeared to be trying to put a somber look on his face, but he was failing miserably.

"Kong,"

He intoned.

"We wanted to give you some brotherly advice before your wedding night."

I rolled my eyes as I saw my brothers teasing my husband.

"Now the main thing to remember, since you have done this before, is that all you need is enthusiasm and opportunity"

Bright's brows wagged up and down

"We can attest to the fact that you both have, the enthusiasm...."

Prem rolled his eyes at that, almost as much as I did.

"You do know that you are making Arthit crazy with all the lust you have got swirling around you, right ??"

Another eye roll was shot his way from both Prem and me.

"And now you have a legitimate opportunity...married and alone in Oregon. At least until we get there tomorrow. Make the most of it, Brother !!"

Bright's big hand slapped Kong on the back and nearly knocked him off of his feet. Prem smacked him on the back of his head before turning to Kong.

"That's the last time I will have to smack him for you. In a couple of days you will be able to do that for yourself...just try not to knock his head all the way off"

Prem and I both laughed. And then he got serious.

"Kong...Brother, thank you for making Arthit so incredibly happy. I can feel his joy and yours too, it rivals the way Wad and I feel about each other...and that's saying something !!"

Prem reached out and hugged Kong then he turned to me just as Kong stepped back and looked at me. He was wearing a blue silk shirt similar to mine with a skin tight black jeans. My breath was stolen in that moment but Kong stopped breathing all together as soon as his eyes raked over me, head to toe. Prem whispered in his ear...

"Breathe, Kong !!"

As he pushed him from where I was standing at the door.

Our lips touched for way too short of a time before Jenny bustled into the room with Wad following her. She was ordering all three of them to gather luggage and telling them to run it down to the waiting Volvo.

Turning to us she said,

"Two minutes...and then I am sending Bright back up here to carry you both down !! The sooner you get to Oregon, the sooner you can be all alone !!"

I looked down at the man in my arms. He smiled up at me and lifted his hand to cup my face.

"Husband..."

I touched my forehead to his and whispered,

"Husband..."

His voice was sweet as he whispered into my ear,

"Jenny is right, the sooner we get out of here, the sooner we can be alone."

I pressed another kiss to his mouth and then we swept out of the room.

**********************************

Kongpob's Pov---------

I kept my hand at Arthit's waist as we made our way down the stairs to the high applauses. More hugs were given and received as we stepped towards the door to get out and into the waiting car. I spent several minutes saying goodbye to May and Aim, as I held their baby in my arms. I looked into their faces, memorising them as they shared this joyful day with us. As happy as I was right now, I didn't know when, or if, I would be able to see them again anytime soon.

Arthit stepped close to me, slipping his arm around my waist and holding me close. I knew that he knew, what was going through my mind. There were no doubts in my mind that what I was doing, marrying this man and joining him as a vampire, was the most right decision of my life. I smiled into his eyes, telling him without words that it was going to be fine. After placing a soft kiss on my godson's head I handed him back to his mother and gave her a hug. It was time to go.

A shower of rice and bird seed rained down on us as we dashed to the Volvo. We turned back before getting in and waved at our family and friends. Arthit kissed me one more time, getting a thumbs up from Bright and heard him shout, "Enthusiasm !!" And then we were driving away...and alone.

The drive to the airport wasn't nearly long enough. We kept busy with kisses and words of love. I was actually surprised when the car stopped. Our bags were loaded onto the plane and once we were seated we were cleared for take-off.

The pilot said that we would be arriving in Oregon in about an hour. Arthit opened a basket and handed me a bottle of water from it. He placed several small containers on the small table beside us.

"I knew that you haven't eat much at the reception Kong, so I asked Noor to pack some food for you."

Arthit snapped the lid open on one of the containers and plucked a plump strawberry from it. He held the ripe fruit to my lips and urged me to bite it. His eyes were on my mouth as I bit and chewed the fruit. Some of the juice started to run down my chin. Before I could wipe it away with a napkin, Arthit asked me to stop. His eyes flicked from my own and down to the dripping juice, then back up again. Once again his eyes turned darker and flakes of red swirling around the corner of his irises. He leaned close and slowly licked the juice from my chin up to the corner of my mouth. A groan escaped my lips but when I would have moved close to him to steal a kiss he leaned back.

"Kong, you really need to eat...you are going to need your strength tonight."

Well, I really didn't want to pass out from hunger, maybe from being dazzled, but not hunger, so I proceeded to eat some of the wonderful things that Noor had packed for me. We were putting the snack away when the pilot said that we were circling in preparation to landing.

Once we were on the ground, the co-pilot and an airport worker quickly transferred our bags to the waiting car. I laughed when I saw that the car was another Volvo, a black one this time. Arthit shrugged and just smiled at me.

As we know where we were going, Arthit got into the driver's seat and we headed out for our destination. Our conversation was light, consisting of comments about the wedding. I kept my fingers twined with Arthit's on the gear shift. Twilight was falling and it was difficult to see far into the thick woods on either side of the road. Arthit eventually slowed down and turned into the driveway.

We turned a corner and he stopped before the Suthiluck mansion. The windows on the main floor were glowing with light.

I started to reach for the door latch on my side when Arthit asked me to wait.

Arthit got out on his side and rushed around to mine and opened the door. Holding his hand out to me, He helped me to stand and pulled me into his arms. After a moment we turned and opened the trunk of the car.

"I don't think we need to bring all of this inside with us tonight, do we, Love ??"

I asked.

Arthit's face was glowing bright as he reached passed me and lifted out the two 'carry on' size bags.

"These will probably be fine for tonight."

We slowly walked to the front door. It was unlocked when he turned the knob.

"Please wait"

He asked, then he pushed the door open and quickly set the bags down just inside the door. Turning back to where I waited outside the door, Arthit stepped close and swept me into his arms and held me tight against his chest. The black was nearly gone from his eyes as I pressed my lips to his and stepped across the threshold. Knowing that we were going to be staying here for the next several months, I lifted my lips from his and said,

"Welcome home, Mr. Suthiluck"
