Skye and Zed arrived at Kristanlia it was already late. Skye was tired from the day's streess and wondered how Zed didn't feel in the least bit stressed.

"Shall I carry you wife?" He offered.

"No I am fine" she replied hopping down from the carriage the colour in her cheeks was still evident and they walked inside. Helen trailing behind them.

Yes, Helen.

Skye had asked Zed if Helen could come along with them and he agreed which she was grateful for.

They parted ways once they entered the castle and Skye went to the room in which she had been staying.

"You know you will have to go to your husband tonight" Helen reminded her as she placed their luggage on the ground.

Of course, she would have to, it was their wedding night. But she was really tired and the thought of Zed making love to her made her mind go wild.

"I will shower and change before I go" she said knowing she had no choice.

Helen helped her prepare the bath adding scented oils to her skin after showering and she changed into a satin night gown and thanked Helen before leaving for her husband's room.

On arriving, she knocked a little on the door but notice it was open walked in.

She found Zed on a chair his head buried deep into a book, he had not even taken his clothes off.

"Is everything alright?" she asked and he looked up, he hadn't noticed she was there.

"Yes it is, is there a problem?" He asked confused and she looked down at her hands.

"Well, they say a...woman is to sta...y with her husband on their wedding night" she said flushing bright red and he smiled wickedly, dropping the book in his hands and walked slowly to her till he was directly in front of her.

"Stay with her husband and do what?" He asked and she tensed.

"And love.....each other" she replied hesitating.

"Love each other?" he asked smiling.

"And...make love" she said and he tried to hold in his laughter.

"Do you want me to make love to you Skye?" He asked and she flushed and her cheeks became hot and a deeper shade of red.

"I... I... I" She didn't know how to reply and she was already trembling. He loved taunting her.

He put his finger under her chin and tilted her head up.

"We do not have to do something because everyone is doing it" he said and she nodded.

"You are tired wife you need rest, I won't make love to you tonight" he said and she frowned.

"Are you upset?" she asked he smiled.

"Far from it, I am amused, shocked even that you came to my room and asked me to make love to you" he smiled and she looked up at him with rosy red cheeks.

His eyes were a glistening amber. Zed stared at the flushed beautiful woman before him and couldn't hold baxk anymore. Bending down, he kissed her soft lips and she shook and almost collapsing from the contact and he drew her close.

If he made love to her now he wondered if she would be able to move in the morning.

His heart began to thump faster and the desire crawled its way in. She tried her best to kiss him back, then she started feeling small scratches on her neck but she didn't mind. He wasn't doing it on purpose.

Zed felt his fangs slowly elongate and pulled away from her quickly before he hurt her.

"Skye leave, you are a temptation" he groaned looking away. If she could get anymore red she did.

"Are you busy?" she asked and Zed tried to calm himself before his heart tore out of his chest.

"No" he replied. She wanted to be held by him but he had asked her to leave and she was still standing there.

Feeling brave she walked over to the bed and laid on it.

"What are you doing?" Zed asked turning to face her.

"A woman is supposed to be with her husband on their wedding night and you said we don't have to do what others do, so we won't make love but I'll stay here" She explained and Zed smiled.

"If you say so wife" he smiled and she quivered.

Zed began to undo the buttons of his shirt.

"What are you doing!" Skye asked flushed.

"I can't sleep in these garments" he reminded her and she nodded turning away.

Zed continued to undo his buttons till he reached that stubborn button that refused to close this morning, now it refused to open. He could just tear it off but he chose not to.

"Wife?" He called and Skye turned to look at him she was looking away as he began to undo his buttons.

"Yes" she replied still looking elsewhere.

"My button refuses to open" he said and now she darted her eyes to him and flushed. She should help him, shouldn't she?

Standing up still looking down she walked over to him, her heart thumping hard.
