Change of Perspective

***Aliana's POV***

"Here, you can wear some of my clothes to sleep in" Vincent says, breaking the silence between us.
He moves to his closet, I follow. His closet was actually a huge walk in closet. His clothes only took up half the closet. The rest was filled with rifles and pistols.
"Sorry I like guns." He says, giving me a smirk. "I can teach ya to shoot if you'd like."
"Will it stop him, if we come into contact?" I ask knowing he knew the 'he' I was talking about.
"It won't kill him. But it will give ya some time to run." Vinnie smiles at me, looking like a totally dork.
"Ok. Maybe tomorrow, then" I agree with him. He nods and goes to the rack of clothes.
"Here's a shirt for ya and.. is shorts ok? I think my sleep pants would be to big." He says holding up a Iron Maiden shirt and red basketball shorts.
"Yeah, that will be good. I might steal your shirt though." I admit laughing
"That one is a little short on me anyway. Consider it yours." He says smirking.
"What's that?" I say, spotting a box that said 'MMA'
"Oh that's my old MMA stuff from when I was a kid. I was actually really good." He explains
"How good?" I ask, kinda intrigued by it.
"I could've tried out for the U.S. Olympic team. I didn't, that's actually because of Jasmine."
"Your ex?" I say wanting to know more about him as a person.
"Yeah, she was bipolar as shit. She wanted to have me as another trophy, kinda. She bespelled me and had me in a trance for two years. My brother's gave me a intervention...She was like a drug ya know. I never knew what it was like to actually have a woman." He said running his hands through his short hair.
"Kinda like a poison?" I try and provide him some words.
"Yeah she was familiar. She didn't tell she was a witch. A witch who sustained on sexual interactions with men." He said with some venom.
"Jess ain't like that." I say defensively. I was also I little jealous that he had been with her like that.
"I know that. But Jas left a bad taste in my mouth for any witch." He says his eyes showing his pain.
"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore." I blurt out.
"I don't? Are you seriously considering staying with me?" He asks his head snapping to look at me.
His eyes were filled with hope.
"I'm not entirely sure yet, but I can't help but feel connected to you, Vincent. You seem so familiar to me, like I have known you for years. It scares me a little."
"I would never hurt you, Aliana." He says honesty burning in his eyes.
"I believe you. I just..." I stop not wanting to scare him off.
"What is it?" He asks grabbing my hands.
"I just get a little scared of.. how much I want you." I say quietly. He smiles and I am unable to look away from him. His eyes are full of heat and I wanted nothing more than for him to reach down kiss me till I am drunk from him.
"I feel the same. Aliana, you are my mate and I'm beginning to feel something that I can only describe as love." he says and my eyes go wide, "I don't say that to scare you but only to show you how I feel. You fit me perfectly and help tame my beast. Around you he scratches at the surface but I somehow keep him at bay. When you talked about your father, I know he broke loose. But its because you were hurting and I could feel your pain and anger." He says bringing me in for a hug.

He was warm and so inviting. I was so lost to this man and he had no idea. I knew I was probably going to chose him at the end of the month. He snuck into my heart and made himself at home. I laid my head on his chest and could hear that familiar beat. I felt mine beating with his. Slowly but surely our heartbeats synced. We were already becoming one. I could feel his pain and love all together. I know he could feel mine.

***Vincent's POV***

Ours hearts were one, now. Very few mates achieved this in their lifetime, me and Ali achieved it within 24 hours. It terrified me but made me crave her more at the same time. I could feel her emotions fully now. She was just as scared as I was. I wish grandma Bonnie was still here. She would know what I should do or act. Just thinking about her now, she would probably smack me upside the head and tell me to act like a man. The thought made me smile, she was a feisty woman and was human in the beginning when grandpa met her. Aliana reminded me of her, sometimes. Aliana was leaning against me and I could feel her comfort. She was tired and was barely staying awake.

"Let me leave ya, so you can change." I say pulling away.
"Ok.. Thanks." She says smiling sweetly.
I leave her in the closet to change. I shut the door and lean on it. What was I gonna do? Theo wanted to hurt, Aliana and Cassie. He was coming and he knew we would be preparing. He would come at us with everything he had and would try to convince Tommy to let his beast free. He was the weakest link. He wanted his mate so bad he could taste it. I rubbed my face. I strip down to my underwear and realize I have no clean shorts out here. I hit myself in the head. She's gonna be so embarrassed to see me like this. No sooner than the thought hit me, I heard the door open to the closet. Well you want to know me, here ya go. In all my boxer brief glory.

*** Aliana's POV***

I adjusted the shirt and shorts so many times before I left the closet. I wanted to look good for him but his clothes were so baggy, you couldn't see a curve on me. Not a always a bad thing. I give up on it feeling his distress and open the door. I see his bare back. Muscled and tan he looked so good. Then I realize he wasn't wearing pants. Just dark gray boxer briefs. I could feel my face heating up. Oh and did they fit good. I could tell the shape of his butt, it wasn't very big but it was muscular like the rest of his body. His legs were just as tan and muscular. They were actually fairly hairy. It made me chuckle to myself. He was facing the bed, deep in thought. I close the gap between us and touch his broad shoulders. I lay my head in the center of his back. I feel his body relax and his emotions clear. I could only feel his desire increase as well as my own. He turns, my hands remain on him. He is facing me now and I could fully feel how much he wanted me. I don't know what possessed me but I leaned up and kissed him. He pressed me into him, his hands resting on my waist. He deepens our kiss and I was completely surrounded by his scent. It was woodsy musk. He was incredible. I wanted nothing more than to curl up in his arms forever. He pulled away and looked deep into my eyes. There was no words spoken. There was no need. We could feel each other's emotions. My hands moved down to feel his arms. They were strong and could probably crush me but here he was holding me ever so gently. I felt so safe with him. He layed his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. He was fighting with himself. I could feel the pull of desire and his mind saying 'not yet'. I move my head carefully lay it on his shoulder. I remember that spot that made him groan and I kiss it again. I just wanted him to get out of his head just for a second. I wasn't ready to fully give myself to him but it doesn't mean I can't have fun for right now, right. He groans and grabs my legs and wrap them around himself. It shocks me and he catches my mouth with his. He took the opportunity and played with my tongue with his own. He walks over to the bed and sets me gently on it. I move up to the pillows and he follows me still kissing me. He was at the expert level and I was a novice. He could feel my insecurity and stops. He breath was heavy and eyes were riddled with lust. I could feel his arousal against my thigh and it sent multiple jolts of electricity through me.

"Not anymore now, love. We will wait till you are comfortable." Vincent breathes
I pout a little, "Ok. I liked it though."
He chuckles and rolls off me, "I see, you like to have a little fun huh?"
"Just a little." I laugh realizing how tired I am and I yawn.
"I have a mate who is secretly naughty. Awesome." He smiles at me melting my heart again.
" I am going to sleep, night night." I say closing my eyes
"Sweet dreams, Il mio dolce amore." I hear him say chuckling as I drift off.

My dreams only have Vincent in them and not all of them were innocent. Maybe I am the naughty girl he thinks I am.
