My Bad Boy Vampire

We've Got Time

Dylan’s Point of View

 My face burned and my eyes stung when Rowan said he didn’t want to come in but before I could feel much more than that he held my face in both his hands and pulled my mouth to his, slowly I felt his full lips gently pressing against mine, he slid his hand to the back of my head and kissed me harder. I leaned into his hard, broad chest as I traced his lips with my tongue, he moaned into my mouth as I began to suck on his bottom lip. I wanted to feel him inside of me more than anything in the world at that moment. I began to feel him start to pull away from me but before he could I softly bit down on his lip, “oh my god Dylan,” he half growled, half moaned as I began to caress his chin making my way down his neck.

 “I want to take my time with you,” he said as he cupped my face in his hands and stared deep into my eyes.

 “We’ve got time” I pleaded

“No, not like this, I don’t want the first time I make love to you to be an afterthought. I want to worship you; I don’t want our first time to be clumsy and rushed.”  I pouted as I stared back at him, of course I wanted him to worship me, I just wanted him to do now.

“I promise I will make this up to you and after our first time I will f**k you whenever and wherever you want me to” he said as he quickly kissed me one more time. “I promise.” I reluctantly agreed, “okay I guess, it’s not like I have much of a choice though” I said still pouting.

“I don’t want you to leave” I admitted to him, shocked at my vulnerability with him.

“I don’t want to leave either, but I promise you and I are going to spend so much time together that you’ll get annoyed and need a break from me” he laughed as he kissed my forehead.

“I can’t imagine wanting a break from you” I whispered.

Rowan’s Point of View

 After I was finally able to pull myself away from Dylan, which I did not want to do at all, s**t I missed her before I even got down her sidewalk, but I had to speak to Miss Laa and I didn’t want my questions and annoyance with whatever was going on to ruin the first time Dylan and I were together. I turned around and looked back at Dylan’s place as I got to my bike, I saw her still standing in her door watching me. I so badly wanted to run back to her, instead I blew her a kiss and jumped on my bike. I rode around the block and parked my bike where Dylan wouldn’t be able to see it, which felt shady, but I didn’t want her to know that I had left her hanging so I could storm over to her neighbor’s house, her swamp witch neighbor no less. I used my vampire speed to get over to Miss Laa’s and found her waiting for me in her backyard.

“What the f**k Laa? And do not say this is a coincidence, I am far to old to believe in coincidences.”   

“It certainly is not a coincidence, but it was necessary” Miss Laa said as she casually drank a glass of wine.

“Ugh”, I scoffed at her, “necessary? Really? That’s what you’re going with?” 

“Rowan, divine timing is a real thing, whether you believe in it or not or even like it for that matter” …

“Enough with this divine timing bullshit”, I cut her off “Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we Laa? What does this mean for Dylan and I that she happened to move in directly across the street from you? I can probably see inside her bedroom from here”, I said as I turned my head towards the direction of Dylan’s house, the thought of her bedroom stopped me mid-sentence.

“Why must you be such a worrisome pessimist Rowan?” Miss Laa tsked at me “Would it kill you if you just once trusted, or at the very least believed that good things can happen? It won’t, Rowan, I can assure you it won’t”.

“‘Can happen’ is not the same as will happen”, I answered her

“Look ya big lug, as far as I can tell it’s the real thing between the two of you, take your time, enjoy it, be grateful. Ya know, be happy!”

“So, you’re standing there telling me that you don’t find any of this to be suspect?”

“No, Rowan I don’t”.

“So, none of this is bad? The fact that you live right across the street from the first woman I have had true feelings for in over a hundred years is no reason for concern. everything is just hunky dory?’

“This is not a bad thing Rowan”.

“I don’t believe you Laa”, I said as I folded my arms across my chest

“Rowan, how many times in all the years that we have known each other, have I lied to you?”

“As far as I know, none” I said

“Exactly, so why do you think I’m lying to you now?” She said as she finished off her glass of wine 

“I dunno Laa,” I sighed as I sat down in the chair on the other side of her garden table. “I obviously trust you; you have never given me a reason to ever doubt you, but you living across the street from her freaks me out. Like some impending doom or something” I said as I picked up the wine bottle and poured her another glass of wine.

“Rowan, darlin, there is no impending doom awaiting you or Dylan, I promise. Will there be obstacles, yes of course, as you and I both know this life is no fairy tale but that doesn’t mean bad things are lurking around every corner. Will you both have to come out of your comfort zones? Yes, but Rowan I promise the only bad that can come will only come if you lead with your head not your heart. I know that is easier said than done especially for you, but if she’s worth it you’ll do whatever it takes to be with her”.

“She’s definitely worth it”, I said as I drank wine straight out of the bottle. “How long have you two been neighbors anyway?” 

Five years” Miss Laa said matter- of- factly as she turned to face me.

“Five Years?!?! And I just today met her?! How is that even possible?” I stammered

“Divine timing darlin”.

“Ugh” is all I said as I finished the bottle of wine.
