I am so glad you’re okay. The one night I can’t be with you and all hell breaks loose. What am I going to do with you? With the guards? With everyone? I think we may want to wait on the binding. See what Talia has to say and see if we can find out what they have planned.

No way. We are not letting them ruin our special day. We have come all the way out here for this and tomorrow night at this time we will be married. I want to be bound to you more than anything in the world; I would do it right now if I could. All this crap that Lars and his peeps are putting us through is making me want to do it even more.

I know
,
Sadie
.
I feel the same way. I just don’t want you in harm’s way any longer. I fear they are planning something that has yet come to fruition.

I don’t care what they are planning, I am planning on being bound to you and that’s all that matters. You have enough security here to guard an armory. You should be able to protect us from a few dragons
,
right?

It was quiet for a moment. I could feel his emotions and knew he was thinking it over.

Yes
,
we do have a large amount of security, and a vast array of people. You are right
,
my Kali Princess, there is no dragon that is going to stop this ceremony. If my Sadie wants a wedding, then she shall have one.

Thank you
,
Sebastian. I will be so glad when this is over and we can start our lives together. I am tired of being worried about who will try and get us next.

Me too
,
my
l
ove. You are one hard
p
rincess to guard.
I heard a little chuckle in his head.

I am glad you find this funny
,
Sebastian.

Not the situation
–
you. After all that has happened, kidnaps and attacks and knowing what you have to go through with
the Turn
tomorrow night,  yet you still are so adamant that you want to go through with it. You are so like your
m
other that it makes me chuckle. She would be immensely proud to see how much like her you have turned out to be.

I thought for a moment about what he was saying. How odd it still was to me that he knew my
m
other
,
but I didn’t.  It made my heart happy that he could see her in me.

I would have liked to have known her and just think I have her death to thank Lars for as well.

I know
,
Sadie. She tried hard to get her and her people through their attacks, but in the end he and his people were just too powerful.

That just burns me up. I knew Lars was responsible for
her death
, but never actually sat down and thought about it. What all he and his stupid ideas had taken away from me. The thought made me even madder, mad that she was missing all this, mad that he ended her life and mad that I never got the chance to know her. How different would my life have been if she didn’t die that day? He took the opportunity from me to grow up with my
m
other in the Village, and now he’s trying to take me away from Sebastian.
I felt tears well
up
in my eyes as I realized h
e has essentially systematically tried to ruin my whole life just for his gain.

I can feel your unhappiness
,
Sadie. Please don’t be angry, she wouldn’t have wanted that for you. She wanted you to be strong, happy and with me. It would make her supremely happy to know that you called to me so early, that your powers are coming in already and that you are so much like her. That is what matters, the things we have, and not the things we cannot change. Always remember that.

I will
,
Sebastian
,
and I am happy for having found you. I
am
very glad
I will soon be
Mrs. Sebastian Knight. Oh…Sadie Knight sounds good
,
right?

Sounds perfect
,
Sadie. You know you should get settled back in and try to get some sleep. We have a big night tomorrow and I don’t want you falling asleep during the honeymoon.

Oh
!
Trust
m
e
,
I
w
on’t!

Good
.
G
et some sleep. Sweet dreams
,
my love.

Chapter
Nine

After a long talk with Wendy and a caffeine
-
free Diet Coke, I crawled back into bed. I was a little apprehensive about going back to sleep after that last attack. Dante turning into Talia was a
completely
unsettling to watch. They found Dante, by the way, in a stall, in the bathroom. She had
used
some sort of spell on him that made him unable to move at all, much like a human statue. He was awake and could tell what was going on
,
just unable to do anything about it. It took Xander a little trial and error to reverse the spell, but Dante seemed back to his normal self pretty quickly. The rest of the guys are stationed around the two rooms, our bedroom doors are open, but no one is watching me sleep
,
thankfully.

I pulled the big, heavy duvet over me and scooted down into the bed. One thing you can say about Manduragos, they know their mattresses. It felt like I was on a cloud, easily the best bed I have ever slept on. It was extremely late and each time I tried to clear my mind to find sleep all I could think about was tomorrow night and
the Turn
. I knew what to expect at the ceremony, and though nervous I was very much looking forward to making love for the first time with Sebastian, but I couldn’t get my mind off
the Turn
ing. Would it happen immediately? Would I have time to enjoy our first time together? Or was it going to start immediately and I would be in agony from there on out
?
What if I am a freak of nature and
the Turn
never ended or worse, what if I didn’t make it through? What if I am more human than they think and I die? And what about the pain? Burning to death? Why does it have to be fire?  I hate fire. This is going to be my hell. Why do I have to go through that just to marry the man I love? I tossed and turned
,
finally falling asleep worrying about all these things when the dream started.

I have always had vivid dreams, ever since I can remember. Since finding Sebastian through my dreams, they have gone from vivid to full on HD-3D
amazingness
. They feel like I am right there, living the dream just like in my waking life. This dream started out the same way as all the other did. I was all alone in a white empty space. There is no beginning, no ending
.
I
t just goes on and on. Then piece by piece the dream comes together, much like a jigsaw puzzle. Sand appeared under my feet and the ocean pieced itself together in front of me, stretching out for miles and miles. I noticed then that I was no longer wearing my P
Js
, and I was in a flowing wrap
-
around maxi skirt
with a slit
up the side where it wraps. On top, I had on a very elegant but tiny halter top that too wrapped around me and tied in the front. The sun is starting to set leaving the most amazing reflections on the water. Palm trees were beginning to appear, piecing themselves in around me while swaying in the light breeze.

Down the beach I see a figure walking towards me, I instantly know it’s Sebastian. He is wearing a pair of dark linen pants rolled at the ankles and matching dark linen shirt, open all the way down. I love when he leaves his shirt open, he looks so sexy. The wind played with his hair as it lightly blows it in the warm breeze, his sexy smile growing as he walks toward me. Without him saying a word to me, he takes me up into his arms. I reached up and put my arms around his
neck;
it feels so sensual having him pressed up against me. I could feel all his body hard and strong
.
I kissed him deeply, wanting to lose myself in this dream and never wake up.

“My
l
ove
,
I have missed you so much. Being apart from you tonight even for a few hours has seemed like
torture, “he
said as he kissed me again, this time letting his hands roam over my body.

“Sebastian, it has been such a long evening without you. I’m surprised to see you here… in my dream.”

“It took you a while to get here
. C
ould you not sleep
,
my
l
ove?”

“Between being attacked and
the Turn
tomorrow night, I had a bit of trouble.”

Gently pushing a strand of hair from my face and behind my ear, Sebastian said, “I wish you didn’t have to go through
the Turn
. If I could take the pain away I would
,
my
l
ove, in a heartbeat.” He touched my cheek and held my face towards him. He kissed me tenderly
,
then pulled back and looked into my eyes, “We don’t have to do this. We can wait to make love, we can wait on
the Turn
and just commit with the binding ceremony.”

“No, I want to be with you FULLY. I love our life together, but it feels incomplete. I want to know what it feels like to be with you in every way. I want to make love to the man I love. I don’t want to wait any longer.”

“You would go through your idea of hell just to be with me?”

“Yes
,
Sebastian. I would do anything to be with you. I love you, more than life itself.”

“I love you too
,
Sadie, more than anything in the world.” Sebastian looked down and kissed my neck. Goosebumps ran up my back and made me shiver. He moved his head back and I could see his eyes turning crimson. He kissed me again, this time going lower, kissing down my neck to my shoulder.  “You are gorgeous
,
my
L
ove
. L
ay with me.” Sebastian pointed to the water.

Appearing in front of us was a large oasis in the water. It was a beautiful oversized bed floating on top of a vast, wood deck on the water. The bed was white with a gold
,
rod iron canopy across the top. Hanging from the rod iron were jewel tone panels of the lightest material, almost see through yet I could imagine if they were closed you would have the illusion that you were all alone suspended on the water. It looked like something you would see in a Cleopatra movie.

He picked me up and carried me out to the floating paradise, carefully placing me on the bed. Looking at me again with those crimson eyes, he leaned down and slowly started to nibble on my ear, kissing down my cheek to my chin and then nibbling his way down my neck. His kisses slowed right above the pulse point on my neck, he paused for a moment and I hoped he might bite me. He leaned up over me and I could tell he was thinking about it, his fangs sharp and ready to cut into my neck. He dragged them down my throat, making goose bumps run instantly all over my body
,
causing me to dream about feeling him inside me.

Stopping for a moment he smiled down at me, knowing what I was thinking, and untied my halter top.

His hands roamed over my breasts, teasing my taunt nipples. He brought one into his mouth and sucked, barely scraping his fangs over the top. It was too much for me, I wanted him so badly I could taste it. He then slowly proceeded to kiss down my body to the top of my skirt. Opening it up, he moved the fabric away so he could continue kissing down my stomach and on even further down my legs. My skin was tingling all over, that electric shock he was so talented at supplying was on overdrive. I was wiggling under his touch, unable to lay still and just enjoy it.

“Sebastian
,
you’re killing me, it feels so good
,
” I said while he removed my panties. He took his hand and placed it on my knee and then slowly spread my legs apart, his eyes glowing red, his
fangs down. My pulse was racing and my breathing was growing rough in anticipation. “This may hurt a bit, do you trust me?” he asked and sent me a vision of what he was planning to do to me. That made me even crazier for him.

“Yes
,
of course
,
”
I said as his mouth went down into my heat. He lapped at me, licking and flicking with his tongue. Such ecstasy I had never felt before in a dream. He took his fingers and entered me, first one then two and then three. I thought it was too much but as he suckled me and stroked I realized it was just enough, too much for me for very long. I could feel my orgasm starting to build, and so could he. He took me fully in his mouth, tongue circling, fingers entering me over and over again. Just as I was about to explode I felt his fangs bite into me. It was pure rapture. I screamed his name as I came, feeling the blood leaving my body and entering into his. I could feel his ecstasy and mine mixed together. I couldn’t tell which of us was feeling what and I felt closer to him then than I ever had before.
