Summer chewed on her lip. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2026 you never asked. We just tumbled into this. I\u2019m not angry. But you should\u2019ve asked. I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m not a thing, to be owned. That way.\u201d She took a deep breath. \u201cThat\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor sighed, \u201cI\u2019m sorry if tha\u2019s what it sounded like but that\u2019s not what it is, I promise. Generally speakin\u2019, when two vampires are in a relationship they mark each other t\u2019 tell everyone else they\u2019re spoken for. I\u2019m not saying tha\u2019 I \u2018own\u2019 you, not by any means, you\u2019re your own person. It\u2019s basically the vampire way of announcing to everyone else tha\u2019 we\u2019re a couple an\u2019 tha\u2019 their advances wouldn\u2019t be welcomed. If you were a vampire, you would\u2019ve marked me as well. All it is, is to let others know that we\u2019re in a relationship.\u201d He watched her again, hoping that she understood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t say it right.\u201d Frustrated, Summer sat up, fisting her hands. \u201cVictor, what if I did welcome other advances? You never asked me. I\u2019m not \u2014 spoken for. Because you didn\u2019t ask.\u201d She pushed a hand through her hair, the other one going to the ruby at her throat. \u201cVictor, I love you, a lot, but \u2026 I can\u2019t be \u2014 I don\u2019t know how to say this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor regarded her carefully, he loved her with all of his being and nothing would change that. He realized, however, that this was sensitive ground and he\u2019d have to think before he said anything. \u201cIs it tha\u2019 you don\u2019t want t\u2019 be tied down t\u2019 jus\u2019 one person? Or is it more because I haven\u2019t asked an\u2019 was jus\u2019 assumin\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe latter, mostly,\u201d she said gratefully. \u201cI haven\u2019t met anyone else who even so much as hinted that they were interested in me.\u201d Composing her hands in her lap, she looked away, embarrassed. \u201cBut if I did \u2026 well, I mean, just because I sleep with you, and I love you, doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t do so with anyone else, unless I choose that. \/I\/ choose it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor sighed then nodded. \u201cI-I\u2019m sorry tha\u2019 I acted so\u00a0presumptuously. I don\u2019t think it\u2019d be right t\u2019 ask you now. But, if you\u2019d like, I\u2019m not rushin\u2019 you or anythin\u2019 but I\u2019d like us t\u2019 be a couple, if you want to be tha\u2019 is. I love you with everything tha\u2019 I am but I don\u2019t want t\u2019 force anythin\u2019 on you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“If there’d been force I’d’ve said no.” She reached out and laid a hand on Victor’s chest, stroking his breastbone. “No one ever looks at me the way you do. Now is the time to ask. I belong to you, you belong to me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
