Suneyva paced around the library in a square, pausing in front of her Childe and his lover as she wrung her hands. "Okay, I talked to Prince Draven on your behalf and it sounds good. You are supposed to meet with him in one hour to ask permission formally. You need to get ready and leave soon."
Jesse stood and hugged her fiercely, "Thank you Suneyva. You know what this means to me."
She smiled at him, "Yes, I do. Julianna and I always told you that you would meet someone special. Now go get permission to Embrace Paul and do it right away. I don't want to have any outlaw Childer."

Paul looked around the room; fearing to move in case he disturb one of the candles Jesse had placed around the bed. He didn't understand why they needed to have so much ceremony, but if it made Jesse happy he'd go along with it.
He smiled up at his lover, feeling a little like a sacrifice, and opened his arms, sure of his decision to become Jesse's Childe. As they loosely embraced he felt Jesse's teeth graze his throat lightly and closing his eyes he tilted his chin up. The momentary pain was nothing compared to the joy that soarded within his heart.
A small smile passed across his lips as Jesse lapped at his blood. Only a small island of fear clung to him as he was held down a bit more roughly than necessary, but it darkened the vision of the future with Jesse for only a moment as his heart labored and failed. He was gasping for breath, but with the last of his strength he whispered, "Take me Jesse and I'll be yours forever."
