feminine soul and that’s why women are the stronger sex, because most men only want to please themselves.”
“Does this include you Alex?”
I took a deep breath and looked away from her before saying “I am a little selfish Julia. I have wanted you since the moment I saw you with your father at that Christmas party fifteen years ago and although I know that you probably need to be by yourself for awhile before you jump into another relationship, I want you to be mine. I’m not just talking about sex and a few dates here and there, I’m talking commitment and feelings and eventually love. I’ve been on this earth for so long and in all that time I have never wanted to bond with a woman. Don’t get me wrong I have had relationships, some have lasted a number of years but I was never able to commit to them as my heart was never fully in it. But then one dance with you and I knew why in all those years I could never love another. You were meant to be with me Julia and to hear you say you are all mine, well, that moment can’t come soon enough for me.”
She was quiet for a long time and I wanted to break the silence but not overwhelm her, so I just said “come on its late now, let’s go to sleep.” And with that she rolled on to her side with me lying behind, my hand on her hip as close as we could be without being joined together.
Chapter 9
Julia
What am I supposed to think about all of tonight’s revelations? Alex has given me all this information to process, but I can’t seem to think clearly enough for my mind to work. All the information is now tumbling together and rolling around until my head hurts.
Ok Alex is a vampire, that I get and no I am not scared, I do believe him when he says he won’t hurt me. All the sorrow that he told me of, well I can relate to that somewhat and it makes him seem more human to know that he still feels hurt from it all. But to know that he wants a relationship with me and that relationship will require love and commitment, well I’m just not sure what to think about that.
He said something earlier about when a vampire falls in love, they love forever. Well I thought the love I had with Gavin was forever but look at us now, him god knows where with who knows whom and me laid in bed at the side of a vampire whom I had sex with twice. Great sex too. I haven’t had orgasms like that in years, if not ever in fact.
I thought that Gavin was good in bed because he nearly always made me come. Well at least in the early years he did, and because he was my first I had no one else to compare him too, but Alex, well he really knew how to play my body, kind of like he had played it before.
It felt so familiar being with him. I should have been shy or held back a little but instead I was begging him to get inside me. That’s just not like me to be so demanding, I never was with Gavin.
Maybe it’s a new me. A more improved version of me. A sexy, demanding throw caution to the wind and just go for it version of me.
Yes, I think I want to be that kind of person. Someone who gets what she wants in life, a strong woman like Alex said. Yeah I can definitely go with that. Maybe I should do something outrageous like bungee jumping or parachute out of a plane or something...... or perhaps not. Heights generally make me vomit and I wouldn’t want to catch that on the way down.
Still I suppose I can start slowly and build up to the new me. I have a new job now, I have money in the bank so could get some new clothes and maybe a new hairstyle too.
Alex turned on his back letting go of my hip pulling me out of my thoughts for a moment.
I had him too or I could have if I wanted. I rolled over to him and ran my fingers down his chest to where the sheet pooled at his waist. God he had such a great body. It was muscular without being too big or bulky and he was laid here in bed at the side of me naked apart from the boxers he had put on for my benefit. But he didn’t need to do that for
