[ Her fingers brush along his lips once more before moving to cup the side of his face. Her lit eyes remain locked onto his gaze, intense and full of love. Has being turned into this creature truly made it so hard to believe what she says? Or, is she simply too attuned to her ancient feelings?

Her poor knight.]

Aymeric, my love. [ She smiles as sweet as she is able to with the instincts driving against her ability to conduct herself. ] I am giving it to you--all of it. All of me. It is yours.

[ The hand at her stomach raises to rest on his other cheek. The tips of her fingers gently brush along his hair in an attempt to lure him into the acceptance he is so desperately looking for when she is giving it to him unconditionally. ]

I have always been yours to have in any life. We are bound to one another no matter where our next lives take us. I am already yours to reclaim... and so who else would to chose?

[ Her head tilts to let her hair fall oveover her shoulder and give a welcoming and beckoning look in her gaze. ]

I want you to take me--both sides of you. ouch me where you want, kiss whatever part of me you wish. Claim me as a vampire would his mate... and then marry me in a church of your goddess as a knight would his lady. No one else will have me as theirs.

[ Her fingers curl under his chin to pull him closer so she might whisper and only he can hear: ]

Only you.
