He was the most handsome man she'd ever seen, and she had never been attracted to another man like she was to him. It amazed her that she didn't realize it right away. Although she couldn't bring herself to say the word "love" yet, as it was still too soon in their second meeting, she knew the emotion she felt was damn close.<br/><br/>When he caressed her cheek, she turned her head into it and then reached up to catch his tear. The fact that he felt so strongly about her pain made her heart nearly stop beating. Swallowing, she knew now that she wanted to give herself to him.<br/><br/>"I'm not as amazing as you seem to think I am, but thank you. I've never felt anything like this for another man. And yes, I've had some female friends, but I always kept moving so I wouldn't have to worry about them noticing me never aging. Until I came here, I never stayed in one place longer than 5 years at a time."<br/><br/>When he said that he would wait, she smiled and leaned up to kiss him softly.<br/><br/>"No. I don't want to wait. I've waited centuries already, and I want you. I want you to make love to me and show me what other people seem to enjoy so much about it. I want to be your lover, and I want to be one with you. I'm nervous, but I don't want to wait."<br/><br/>She kissed him again and then laid back down, reaching up to unbutton her shirt slowly.
