Valor couldn't disagree with her assessment. The vampire had been blessed with a silver tongue and a heart of gold. At least that's what he liked to say when it was brought up. Of course there were people like Rosalie who didn't particularly care for his honeyed words. And three whole days. It was both a blessing and a curse. It was a long time and not nearly enough time all at once.<br/><br/>Valor again loved the way she reacted to his lips and tongue. Her soft noises of pleasure thrilled him and he could feel his pants tightening already. He could smell not only the scent of her blood by then but also the scent of her arousal. He was glad that he could look into her eyes as his tongue teased her clothed slit through the thin material of her panties. He could see a lot of things in her eyes and he knew that many of those same things were likely mirrored in his own eyes.<br/><br/>After a moment he pulled back so he could slip her panties off. And then his eyes simply observed her feminine form. They had had sex so many times over the three weeks of their affair but he doubted he would ever truly get tired of looking at her. He would never tire of seeing the lovely flush to her cheeks and the healthy color in her warm skin.<br/><br/>He slid off his own pants and undergarments and put them aside. His manhood was already fully erect by then. He moved and laid over top of her as he stared into those deep purple eyes of hers. And then he said it. Words that he had wanted to say but also words he should never say. Words one that wouldn't be appropriate to a woman married to his brother.<br/><br/>"I love you," he whispered. His hips adjusted and he felt the familiar warmth as his erect manhood slid slowly into her giving her body time to adjust to the familiar invader.  He moaned softly and he rocked his hips back and forth at a slow pace. Each thrust sent waves of pleasure coursing through his body.<br/><br/>When she affirmed she loved him as well he smiled broadly. Without planning to do it his fangs lengthened and he found the scars where he had bitten her before and licked them. As if like magic the wounds reopened and blood gushed. His fangs sank into her but it would be without pain and as his venom worked into her blood stream it would cause the pleasure of their lovemaking to intensify dramatically.<br/><br/>Her blood tasted amazing to him and it was then he truly realized the two were bonded together. A bond that could only be broken if one of them died. But it wasn't just the bond that made him feel this way. He truly did love her.<br/><br/>Meanwhile in another part of the Dominion Jalice knew that he was being infantile. It wasn't Rosalie's fault Kera was tagging along. But he was still somewhat frustrated. They mostly walked in silence for awhile before they arrived at their first stop. They met with the lord from the House of Arrows and affirmed his loyalty to the crown prince. And then the group ended up alone in a bedroom.<br/><br/>Kera, for her part, had said little despite being a social butterfly. She knew that her presence wasn't especially desired so she told the two of them she was going for a walk to clear her head. The truth was she had a splitting headache from wearing the ring and needed some time with it off.<br/><br/>When she was gone Jalice looked up at Rosalie.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry," he finally said. "I'm just frustrated with this whole situation. It's just not fair." But life was rarely fair for royals. "And I know it's the same for you. I suppose we should just take the opportunity to enjoy the time that we do have together."<br/><br/>Jalice rose to his feet and closed the distance between the two of them. He slid his arms around her waist and pulled her in close. He was at least glad that Kera had made herself scarce.
