Riah POV

Gasping, tears weld up in my eyes as I stood still. The excitement and love radiating off of Demitri was overwhelming.
We were standing on the very top of the Eiffel tower, a table was placed in the middle of the patio with rose peddles spread across it and around the ground, lit candles were spread around the area and on the table giving off a warm glow. Blood wine and plasma was set on the table with champagne glasses and a string of white lights were wrapped around the railing and all the way around the entrance. The beauty of it all caused tears to fall down my cheeks. And in the distance, I could hear a soft violin playing.

Turning to Demitri, I wrapped my arms around his neck and planted my lips on his. I melted as he placed his hands on my hips and squeezed. Smiling between kisses, his scent intoxicated me as my heart began pounding harder against my chest.

Pulling away, I placed my hand on his cheek. "You didn't have to do this, Demitri."

He shook his head viciously. "Yes I did my love. After all the hard work you've been putting in, you deserve a night to be pampered and spoiled."

What did I do to deserve this amazing man?

Clasping my hands together, I followed him to the table as he pulled a chair out for me and sat down. Kissing my forehead, he sat across from me and poured two glasses of blood wine, then added a bit of plasma to them.

I raised my brow, "Why didn't I think of that?"

He tilted his head back and chuckled, "Love, I've been a vampire for centuries. You've still got a lot to learn."

Crossing my arms, I gave him a teasingly pouty face and sipped at the drink. The sweet taste of the wine plus the blood mixed with the plasma was perfect. Groaning, I took a bigger drink.

"Why must you make noises like that? It's already hard enough not to imagine you moaning my name."

I narrowed my gaze as goosebumps rose to my skin. "Oh really?"

Nodding, he bit his lip seductively. As I gave him a smirk, I slowly slid the strap of my dress off my shoulder, exposing the top of my breast. His eyes widened slightly as I continued to slip the strap lower down my arm until my nipple was nearly showing.

"Riah.." His voice was husky, full of lust.

"Yes?" I whispered, licking my lips.

His eyes searched my face, down my neck to my chest. Within a second, I was against a metal wall with Demitri's body pressed against mine. His bright blue eyes scanned my face, then landed on my lips. As he lowered his head and kissed me, I closed my eyes and weakened in his embrace. The way his soft lips felt upon mine was nothing I've ever felt before.

His hands roamed my hips, slowly reaching up my dress to my breasts. With one hand cupping one, his other hand wrapped around my neck teasingly as he dominated my mouth. My body shook in anticipation as his breath became heavy, soon our heartbeats were one.

As the kiss deepened, I ripped at his button up, tearing it off of him and allowing my hands to roam every inch of his muscular body. With a swift motion, my dress was on the floor and Demitri picked me up in his arms with my legs wrapped around his waist.

I pulled away for a second, breathing heavily. "What if we get caught?"

Smiling, he planted a kiss on my neck. "We won't, I promise."

Diving into the pleasure he was causing by kissing my skin, I rolled my eyes back and tilted my head to the side. The kisses soon became nibbles, a feeling of shock and desire ran through me as he bit down at the scar he had left behind when we marked. Leaving sweet kisses up my jaw to my lips, he let out a sexy groan as I gripped his hair tightly.

Without a second thought, Demitri turned around with me in his arms and after swiping everything off the table, placed me upon it and began kissing down my stomach.

Once I finally got his belt unbuckled, he pulled his black pants off quickly along with his boxers. While he hovered over me, he scanned my naked body with so much love and desire that it took my breath away.

Demitri POV

"I'm glad you brought a blanket up here."
Grinning, I looked down at Riah. Her head was on my chest, her beautiful green eyes looking up at me with love. Her amazing body was wrapped around me in only her underwear. She's such an angel, so gorgeous and elegant.

Placing a peck on her forehead, I took a deep breath and glanced back up at the night sky. Stars had always amazed me, the wonder they had caused was inspiring. When everything seems to hard to deal with, I can just look up into the night sky and know that there is so much more to life than what I am going through at that exact moment.
It's so funny, how much Riah reminds me of a star. My own, beautiful star.

*****

After Riah and I spent a few hours staring at the stars and talking, we left Paris and flew back home. We both decided I was going to stay the night at her house, it's too late for me to go home. Plus, neither of us want to be apart right now.

Looking over at her in the passenger seat, I grinned as I scanned her long legs up to her dark hair and smooth skin. She shook her head and stared out the window, she was flustered at my astonishment towards her. That's what I love most about her, ever since we met, she has always been so pure and innocent. Yet, she had the power to lead without doubt, and had a naughty side to her she only allowed me to see. She was such a perfect woman, so strong hearted and independent, but she holds so much hope and care for other people.

Once I pulled into the large driveway, we got out and held hands as we walked up to the large home Riah had lived at since she first came to us months back.

Quiet not to wake anyone, we tip toed through the front room, passed the living room where Nora and Alyssa were sleeping in a blanket fort, up the stairs and into her room.

Sighing in relief, I stripped my clothes off and slumped into her large bed. I must say, it's comfortable, just not as comfortable as mine.

Chuckling, I ran my hand through my curly hair as I watched her slide out of her sundress and underwear. Her naked body moved seductively towards me. Opening my arms, I allowed her into them as the warmth of her skin graced me. I could feel her heart beat slow down as her muscles relaxed against my body. She always holds so much tension within herself, even when things are going smooth, she's been through so much that she always feels as if she needs to keep her guard up.

I don't sleep very well alone, but when I'm with her, I sleep better than I ever have in years. She knows how to calm me, love me and stand up to me all at the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better mate.
