LILY

My lips touched Fleming's, and for a fleeting second, the world around us faded away. There was something so perfect about kissing him. Like this was the place I belonged. I never wanted it to end.

But Fleming gently pulled away, breaking the kiss far before I was ready. I looked up into his eyes and saw something I hadn't expected. Utter surprise. It was as if he'd been bracing himself for rejection, for fear, but had found neither.

And he wouldn't. Not from me. I supposed after everything I'd just seen and experienced I should be scared out of my mind. Yet my mind had never felt more like mine that watching Fleming tear that assassin apart to protect me. My mind knew exactly what it was doing when I kissed him too.

For the first time since I could remember anything, my mind was my own, and I didn't feel crazy, or scared, or lost.

"You're surprised." My lips curling into a faint smile, and I reached up to cup his cheek, not allowing him to pull away any further.

"I am," he admitted, his eyes still locked onto mine. "After everything that just happened, after you learned what I am, I thought you might... distance yourself."

Such a polite way to say he thought I'd run away while simultaneously telling him to fuck off.

My heart pounded in my chest, not out of fear, but realization, acceptance, and hope. "I've seen monsters, I don't know when or where, but I have. And you're not one of them."

The glow in his eyes dimmed, as if my words had quelled some inner storm. He leaned closer, his voice dropping to an intimate whisper. "Lily, your acceptance means more than you can imagine. I don't understand why you aren't frightened of me, and it's more than I ever hoped for."

He wrapped his arms around me, and took off the glasses that had inexplicably stayed on his face the entire battle. "But there's more you need to know. A connection exists between us, one that transcends the ordinary, and it may be the thing that does frighten you away from me."

I pressed a soft kiss to his lips again, but just so he'd see that there was nothing he could do to scare me away. "A connection? Like fate?"

"In my opinion it's more like biology," he explained. "Vampires have no soul. I have no soul."

"You have more soul than anyone I've ever met." He was kind, and generous, and daring, and brave. I'd call that soul.

"I mean, quite literally." He took my hand and pressed it to my chest. I am so very empty inside."

"Oh. Oh my stars. You really mean that. You believe souls are a real, tangible thing? I just sort of figured it was sort of an amorphous idea of what makes us individuals. But you're telling me a soul is...what? Like another organ?"

For the first time since our discussion began, he smiled and chuckled softly. "I love how you think, Lily. It's not physical,
