Primal Impulse (COMPLETED!)

49. Bunny

    Stacy stayed in bed, in shock for a few hours.  I stayed with her, caressing her, coaxing her to reality.  Telling her everything I thought she wanted to hear.  Letting her know it was all an act, so I could have her.  So I could keep her.  Keep her safe and by my side forever.

    "Don't you trust me Stace?  Don't you love me?  Those kinds of things can be broken, but they never go away.  I did all of this for you.  I can't stand to see you hurt."

    She let out a heavy sigh, and that's when I knew I had worn her down.

    "When you took my innocence?"

    I moved to sit up, looking down at her, giving her space that I knew she needed.  "A drunken mistake."

    "You said you hated me."

    "I hated myself for what I had done and acted childishly."

    "Being mean to me, distancing yourself from me?"

    I cupped her face softly.  "I was punishing myself for what I had done."

    "Why were you drunk?"

    "Kohle, he, did some things.  It pissed me off.  I went to basement, for a good long drink.  I picked a man for a change, wanting the challenge of a struggle, but he didn't.  He wanted to die.  I asked him, and he said it was because he did something bad.  I tasted his blood and it was the worst thing I have ever drank.  I killed him and saw the scars on his back.  Four long thick scars from whip marks.  Then I came back here to our room, to drink the taste out of my mouth, wash away the images Kohle had sent me and the ones of what that man had done."  I couldn't look her in the eye as I said the next sentence.  "And then I did what he had done to your sister, and almost killed you too."

    She sat up, next to me, facing her body towards me and laid a hand on my chest.  "You haven't changed at all have you?  You're still that man I met in the hallway.  The one that made me blush and held the door open for me."

    I kissed her, gently, letting her have the time to pull away, but wanting her to press her lips to mine.  I pulled away first, not able to put myself out there any longer without a firm response.   

    "Just a little meaner, and richer."

    She smiled at me sweetly, then melted into my side, laying her head on my chest.  I had wanted more of a response, but this, this was more than a head start to get us back to where we were.

    "I heard everything you said, on the phone.  Do you really want to turn me?"  Her fingers ran patterns over my thigh, the burn of the calling sweeping to the surface in the same pattern.

    "Of course.  I don't know what I would do without you Stace."

    "Is it really because I'm good at my work?  You don't really need me."

    "No.  That is just an excuse, a reason to give the council to help push you through.  I can't tell them I want to turn the woman I love and want to spend the rest of my life with can I?"

    Her fingers stopped on my thigh, and I smelled a new kind of salt hit the air.  I pulled her to face me completely, cupping both sides of her close as she reopened her shut eyes.

    "Stacy.  I love you.  You are my heaven.  My sun that brings warmth into my life.  I don't regret a day that I spend with you.  A time when you smile at me, blush at me, or even say harsh words to me.  I want to be yours, always.  I cherish every moment, every second we spend together, because you're in it.  I crave you, crave your affection, crave your innocence you managed to keep while I tried to corrupt you.  To say that I love you, it doesn't come close the these heart shattering feelings I have for you."

    I wiped the tears that flowed down her cheeks in fat streams with my thumbs, caressing her skin.

    "Don't leave me like a fool and say something."  I whispered to her, searching her eyes for any return of my affection.  She shook her head and pulled me into a tight hug.  I turned us, so she was laying on top of me.  She quickly raised off, forming a curtain of hair around us, around our faces.  Her tears fell, warm on my face. 

    "You took my breath away Stoic."

    I pulled her to me, and turned, forcing her underneath me.  My lips met hers in an all out battle of love and lust.  Caressing and searching for each other, in this world we had created around us.  My tongue ravished her mouth, tasting the words she had just said to me.  I kissed her, pulling her lip out some as I raised off of her.

    "I, Stoic Azire, love you will all of my heart, with all of my soul.   Will you be my bunny forever?"

    Stacy laughed underneath me, and the feeling of her vibrate under me, the motions moving into my chest sent me to the heaven I claimed her to be.  That smile, the one she rarely gave me, but gave to Kyle so freely was all that I ever wanted.  This one was kind of different though.  This one, made me smile too, made me happy, made me feel loved.

    "Why do you call me that, Stoic?"

    "Because you were shy and timid, and allusive.  And when I finally catch you, were going to fuck like rabbits."

    She shoved me off of her playfully as she blushed a stunning dark pink.

    "I can't believe I love you."

    "Say it again, bunny."

    "I love you Stoic."
