    “ So, do you want to watch a movie with Alex and Mati or just do our own thing?” I ask.
    “ Let’s just go chill by ourselves,” Nathanial suggests.
    We head up to my room, crawl up on my bed and turn on the newest Nickelback CD from my new collection. It’s so nice to just listen to the music and relax. We enjoy each other and start joking around a little.
    “ So sweetie, I was just wondering…”
    “ Yeah?”
    “ Exactly how ticklish are you?” Nathanial jumps on me and begins to tickle me.
    I start squirming and laughing…I could easily push him off but this is fun–it feels so normal. Lightly sitting on top of me, he instantly stops tickling me and slowly bends down to kiss me. I love feeling the weight of his body on top of me; it’s so comforting, like a big thick blanket on a cold winter night. The kiss sets fireworks off within my body again. His lips are as soft and gentle as a downy baby chick, moving in perfect synch with mine once again. Nathanial sits up and climbs off of me to kneel beside me, and I rise to my knees in front of him. Still kissing, we pause for a moment. He slowly runs his hands down my arms to my fingertips, intertwining his fingers with mine. Nathanial slowly lifts my arms above my head and then runs his hands back down my sides, without moving his eyes from mine. With a slow fluid motion, he lifts my shirt from my navel over my breasts and slips it off. I yearn for him, needing him more than ever. As he is slowly kissing me up and down my neck, I gently pull back and take his shirt off, tossing it to the floor next to mine. Running his hands down my bare back over my bra strap he whispers, “You are so beautiful. Your skin is so soft and creamy smooth. I’ve never imagined anything feeling so perfect,” he says as he slowly kisses my bare shoulder.
    “ I love you so much Nate! You are so amazing.” I run my hands over his perfectly chiseled chest. Leaning forward, kissing his chest, I slowly move my hands over his wash board abs.
    Gently he pulls me into him so that we are skin to skin as he holds me. My hair is up in a ponytail, and Nathanial pulls the pony holder out, letting my hair falls to my shoulders. I melt as he runs his fingers through my tussled hair. The feel of his fingers running through my hair and down my back is electric. Being so close to the man of my dreams is indescribable.
    I wonder if this is it. Are Nathanial and I about to make love for the first time? My heart begins to flutter with excitement and nervousness.
    “ Nate, have you ever done anything like this before? Have you ever had sex before?” I ask.
    “ No! I had never really even kissed a girl, until you; unless you count Sara in my third grade class,” he laughs, “What about you?”
    “ There was a boy I dated for a while when I was sixteen…he was my first kiss. He was really just a friend, as I had no intimate feelings for him. Once my family promised my hand in marriage to the Duke we had to refrain from seeing each other. Then, before my wedding I was Embraced and saved from being a baby-making factory for an old man. I guess now it is you stuck with an old woman.” We both chuckle.
    “ I don’t think of you like that; to me you are the woman I love, and that is the only thing that matters to me. You know the old cliché…’age doesn’t matter’. I can understand that statement to its full extent now.”
    He grabs me in his arms and holds me close. We start falling on to the bed, entangled with one another. I have never felt so much passion before–I never even thought anything like this existed. How on earth did I ever become so lucky to have found Nathanial? I never want this feeling to end. Then I start thinking, are we really ready for this? Am I ready for this? My family has all explained what it’s like to have sex. Alexander has explained the difference between human sex and vampire sex. He said it was exciting and exhilarating as a human, but as a
