When I awoke again the world around me was alive.

My eyesight was blurry, and I could only make out the smeared forms of moving bodies. I wiggled my fingers and felt the movement brush against my cheeks.

When my eyes started to clear I found myself leaning against a pulsating neck. The veins were angry and pumping. The clear blue lines making themselves known.

I uncurled my fingers and reached out tracing the angry bulge. With a feather-like touch I slid my other fingers across the tanned surface, marveling at how pale my skin looked against the tanned flesh.

My hypnosis was gradually released as my senses slowly came back to me piece by piece. My eyes stopped flinching away from the light, and my head decided to grace me with my briefly lost memories.

The memories did not come back in a rushed race, but slow and gradual. That made me clench my teeth when a blasting headache finally breached the gates of my head.

I groaned, clutching my temples as I softly banged my head against the shoulder I was once resting on.

"Easy," I felt a comforting hand start to cradle the back of my head, "easy."

The pressure the hand was exerting warded away the gut-wrenching headache. Losing myself for a moment, I laid my head back down on the shoulder and watched different sorts of people bustle around me.

I felt a firn forearm under my butt plastering me up against a bare torso. My ears started to ring when my hearing came rushing back.

"No! Put that over there!" A booming voice blasted against my ear.

"Sir I brought what you requested," a familiar voice muttered.

"Finally! At least one of you can do something right." I felt the hand on my head disappear.

I felt something silky brush against my bare neck causing an unexpected shiver to run through my body. "This one. His skin reacts wonderfully to this texture."

"Do you want it in a shade of gold or green?"

"Gold." His hand returned.

I had enough of this position and started to wiggle around to show my distaste. "Put me down," I croaked out.

He eased up on his grip. I slowly slid down the front of his body until I finally found my footing, and I stood almost as tall as him.

His eyes pierced me once again like a knife to skin. I looked away. My mind couldn't handle such intensity yet.

"How do you feel?" Osiris asked, his voice deep and resonating.

"Weak," I answered truthfully.

"It will pass, come." He demanded.

I walked behind him as he maundered around the clusters of people hauling and taking stuff out of the grand living room.

"What's going on?" I asked.

He stopped and turned to me. "Preparations for the ceremony."

Confusion clouded my mind, "ceremony?"

"Our mating ceremony," he replied as he started walking again.

I felt rage spark up in my blood. I swallowed it down though and followed behind him once again.

He only had a pair of black silk pants on, leaving his torso bare to the world. I had on similar pants, but my chest was covered up.

I felt my body start to sway as I broke out in a thunderous sweat. I placed my hand on the wall for support. Sensing the change, Osiris turned to me once again. "What's wrong with me," I growled out as I started to pant.

"As we get closer to the full moon, the more your body will demand mine." He came up to me and caught me before I collapsed to the ground.

I cried out when I touched his smooth chest with my fingers. My cock started to come to life as the feeling of his body pressed against mine got more and more erotic.

I cried out again when he grasped my bottom and pulled me towards his rigid pole. My eyes rolled in the back of my head as he grounded against me. I clenched his broad shoulders for support as I closed my eyes in pleasurable pain.

"What do you want little vampire?" He growled close to my ear. His voice sounding more beast than man.

"Please, Please," I cringed internally at how weak my voice sounded.

"Tell me what you want," he demanded, his voice sounding more and more gravely.

I moaned lowly as he pressed me closer to him. "Please...please let me come," I ended in a whisper.

He pressed his lips to my forehead. I felt them pull up into one of his sinister smiles. "As you wish."

He started to thrust more vigorously into my hips. Every bounce brought me higher and higher.

I silently cried out into his shoulder as my orgasm washed over me in waves. I slumped against him as I silently shuddered, basking in the aftermath of my pleasure.

Without a further word, Osiris picked me up and started walking to our unknown destination.

He carried me to a remote door far away from the sounds of the people.

When he opened it, the cool wind swept through my sweaty back. I sighed, the air was perfect.

He placed me down upon the cobblestone and turned me so I faced the darkness. My eyes widened at the beauty.

Millions of dragons decorated the sky above. The colors bursting forth like shattering fireworks.

The garden was alive. Instead of the burning sun to light the earth, the dragons brilliant fire lit everything around me.

"Isn't it beautiful."

I nodded my head still looking up and around me in wonder.

"It's for you Baine," he murmured close to my ear.

I looked back at him in wonder, "for me?"

"They are celebrating your arrival," the fire around us illuminated his face.

I didn't say anything. I didn't need to say a word. The fire around us said all I needed to hear.
