Reality Comes Crashing In

"Mates eternal?" Frederick nodded, brushing a stray strand of hair out of Vivian's face. "Is there . . . more to it than just me gaining immortality and being mated forever?"

"Well . . ." He shrugged as he considered Vivian's question. "Yes and no.” His little witch’s nose crinkled.

“That didn’t answer my question.”

“No,” he chuckled. “I suppose it didn’t.” Frederick sighed and rolled onto his back, taking Vivian with him so that she rested across his chest. “I guess it’s a promise more than anything. A vow vampiric mates make to one another after mating for the first time. A promise that they’ll love one another eternally, even after their final death. My aunt thought it was awfully romantic when she’d come across it one day while researching how best to care for me,” he explained, grinning softly at the memory. “She’d tell me, ‘Frederick, one day, when you find your mate eternal, you’ll thank me for all I’ve taught you’. Always thought it was a bunch of bullshit.” He shook his head and laughed. “That it was just her excuse to encourage me to do my chores. But,” Frederick glanced down into his mate's stormy eyes, “I guess the old woman was right.”

Vivian giggled. “That’s so sweet.” Closing her eyes, she quietly added, “I wish I could have met her.”

“Yeah,” he agreed with a nod. “I do, too.”

Frederick pushed a sigh out his nose, skimming his fingers idly up and down the side of Vivian’s neck. On each pass, his fingers would catch on the raised scars of his mark and that mass of energy behind his heart would pulse. Even after several days, the newness of the bond hadn’t faded. It felt like they had just mated only hours ago. He idly wondered if the feeling would ever dim over time, but he sincerely hoped that would never be the case. He wanted to float on these clouds for eternity.

“I love it when you do that.”

Frederick blinked and glanced down to find the side of Vivian’s face squished against his chest, her eyes still closed. “Do what?” he asked.

Her lips drew up into a smile. “Purr.” Oh. He hadn’t realized he’d been doing it.

Frederick chuckled and told her, “Oh. I know.” His mate lifted her head in order to look at his face. “I’ve seen it.” His voice was smug, and he knew it, which only served to irritate his little witch.

“What do you mean you’ve ‘seen it’?”
