Chapter 37: Intense Kiss.

The memories of the incident replayed in my mind and when I saw Stefan, I opened my eyes.

I looked around out of anxiety trying to calm nerves and the possible thought that a crazy vampire would attack me once more.

The door creaked open, and Stefan walked in with a tray in his hands. I was confusedly watching him as he dropped the tray on top of the side stool and sat on the bed with me. He picked up my right hand and kissed the back of my right hand while gazing into my eyes.

"Are you okay?." He asked, looking extremely hurt by the sad look he had on me. "Where am I, Stefan?." I questioned in a very low tone. The thought about being back in hill town hit me and I panicked.

"We're in a motel, sweetie. Calm down." His words soothe me but I didn't trust him. He once hurt me, Stefan didn't want me near him, he was greedy for power. He wanted more power than his mate. The thought of that increased the insecurity I feel around him. It made me want to run from him.

"I want to go back to the castle." I announced. He dropped my hand, looking shocked at the words I uttered to him. "You wanna go back to the people who kidnapped you?," I scoffed.

"Neither do I want to stay with someone who rejected me, hurt me and held me captive against my will."

He snagged my hand and looked into my eyes. "I'm very sorry for how foolish I had been toward you, I didn't think before acting and I'm terribly upset about it myself too."

"You acted out of greed for power and now you want something from me, you result into trying to use me, I know your trick."

"I'm not trying to use you, young lady. I just..want you back to me. I want us back, to mate, fight our enemies together and live far away from the troubled world. I want us to live together, have kids not out of magic but as humans.

There is a war coming up, like the first to second world war but this is extremely dangerous because this is a battle for supremacy. It is a battle that I want us to avoid. I want them to sort it out themselves, I want to find love with you, in a far away land. "

I must confess Stefan knew how to get me, he knew what I wanted most was to be away from all these. He wanted me to trust him, he wanted me to believe that he's actually changed man and he's ready to bow to my request, to love me back, to care for me.

I ignored him and hungrily ate the food on top of the stool. He sat on the bed and watched me as I ate, things going through our minds. I could not read him but my thoughts were how to escape from him, how to run if he happened to deceive me.

"Nellie.." When he called me that, my mind went back to the first time he called me that name. I felt fulfilled like I believed something was definitely to come up between us. I wanted him more than anything then, I thought him to be a human and I thought he was having the same feeling for me, not until I found out that it was our mating hormones. I knew I was in love already, I knew that.

"The first day I met you in class was special. I smelt you immediately I stepped my feet in the building. I knew I had found 'She'. I wanted it to work, I had ended my relationship with Wendy for you..for us. I don't know what happened, I lost it when I found you weren't human, someone I thought you were. I was heartbroken, I wanted a human mate. "

"Why are you here?. Why do you want me back?." I asked, out of curiosity. I wanted to know why he's back, since he didn't like me being a supernatural.

"Because I love you."

My heart stopped for a few minutes, the room was silenced and all I did was to get lost in my emotions.

I felt his warm hand pressed against mine, his eyes captured mine with their intense stare and I stopped breathing when his lips began descending sluggishly towards mine.

He stopped when the both lips were in front of each other, I hear his heart beat faster than before, and his warm breath runs across my upper lip, but then his other hand pulled my head down gently by my hair and he locked his lips into mine with passion like someone being deprived of for far too long.

I reacted, even in a fierce manner and my hand traveled to his beautiful chest, up to his beautifully carved face to his short brown wavy hair and squeezed it lightly. It was even softer than I'd imagined and I found myself loving it, I fondled it, He moaned.

A knock at the door immediately interrupted our intensed moment with each other and he stopped kissing me. He slowly removed his lips from mine and looked back.

He stood up and walked out of the room. I breathed out and relaxed back on the pillow. The memory of what we had now made me smile non-stop and made me forget that I wasn't supposed to be in this kind of moment with him.

"Sir, a man stopped by and asked of you. We didn't give him any information as we do not give such information out. We just want to let you know " I heard a female voice say to Stefan.

"How was he?." He asked the lady.

"He was tall, the same height as you are, had short blown out hair and he has the same colored eyes as you do."

That was Aaron, his twin.

"Thank you." He told her and I turned to the other side knowing he might be coming in anytime sooner.
