One Year Later/Zakula Manor

Zak- I briskly walk into my office. "Why? Why won't you change me?" I see Rosario is sitting with a book and glass of blood.

Rosario- I look up from the book I'm reading. "This again beloved..." (Raises Eyebrow)

Zak- I stand in front of the fire place, staring into the dancing flames.

Rosario- (Sighs) I set the book and my glass of blood aside, standing I walk up behind my mate. "We've been over this Zachary..." I wrap my arms around his waist. "I will not change you, not till after we marry when I know you are truly ready for this life."

Zak- I turn in his arms and wrap mine around his neck. "When can we sleep in the same bed?"

Rosario- (Chuckles) "You are full of questions tonight." I trail my lips along his jaw.

Zak- I tilt my head offering him my neck.

Rosario- I reach up and grasp his jaw roughly. "Never offer something so willingly, when it could cost you your life."

Zak- "I trust you."

Rosario- "You shouldn't..."

Zak- I look at him perplexed. "As your mate, I shouldn't trust you with my life?"

Rosario- I release my hold and turn away from him. "No." I go back over and sit down.

Zak- "But I do." I follow him, once he sits I stratal his lap. "I trust you a Vampire with my life and as your mate I offer myself to you willingly."

Rosario- I admire him for a few moments, then push him off my lap. "Bedroom, now!"

Zak- I look up from where I've landed at his feet. "But..."

Rosario- "Bedroom." I allow my eyes to flash red.

Zak- (Whimpers) I get up and walk to the bedroom.

Rosario- I get up and follow after him, once in the bedroom I shut the door and lock it. "Strip."

Zak- Silently I strip out my clothes, standing before him naked.

Rosario- (Smirks) I take my time and admire every inch of his naked body. (Hums Approvingly) "Lay in bed."

Zak- I crawl into the bed and lay back on the silk sheets.

Rosario- I remove my shirt and leave it on the back of the couch, then I crawl into the bed and slide between his thighs. "I will not change you, but I will mark you!" I remove the compulsion spell I placed on him.

Zak- I blink a few times and look around my room confused. "What are we doing in here?" I notice I'm laying naked beneath my mate.

Rosario- (Chuckles) "This is punishment."

Zak- "Punishment?"

Rosario- I wrap my fingers around his aching cock and stroke it in a rough rhythm.

Zak- (Gasps and Moans) I arch, twisting my fingers into the sheets.

Rosario- I lean down and brush my fangs against his neck. "Let this be a lesson...don't offer yourself so willingly." I tighten my grip on his cock as I slide my fangs through the flesh of his neck.

Zak- I was literally seeing stars due to the combined pleasure and pain. "FUCK!" I'm forced over the edge into ecstasy.

Rosario- I work him through his high as I retract my fangs and lick over the wounds. Pulling back slightly I admire the mark that lays just beneath his skin. (Purrs) "Mine!"

Zak- (Pants Heavily) "Yours..."

Rosario- (Smiles) "Sleep beloved." I kiss his lips.

Zak- I return the kiss, though fall asleep against my will. (Sighs)

Rosario- I lay him beneath the covers, then put my shirt back on. "In due time beloved, we shall wed and I will claim you." Leaning down I press my lips to the mark, then disappear into the shadows.
