She moved back slightly and stood. �I would never leave you like he thinks.� Vincent rose and moved up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. �I know you wouldn�t leave me because we pledged ourselves to one another last night.� She turned around in his arms. �Why does he hate me so much?� Vincent�s heart broke when he heard the question. He pulled her closer and held her tight. �He doesn�t hate you Catherine, he just doesn�t want to let go of his child yet.� Catherine lifted her head from his chest. �I don�t think he will ever want to let you go.� Vincent tightened his arms around her. �Maybe not but we are not going to let that stand in our way you and I belong to one another now and Father is just going to have to get used to it.� Catherine smiled at him. �You sound very confident.� He chuckled and pulled her closer. �When it comes to our relationship I am extremely confident.� Catherine smiled seductively at him. �Prove it.� Vincent heard her challenge and lowered his head. �Of course, my love.� With those words they came together in an extremely passionate kiss. After they parted Vincent put his forehead against hers. �What do you say you and I go back to the brownstone and pick up where we left off last night?� Catherine could not help but giggle. �I thought you would never ask.� They were just about to leave when a message came over the pipes. Vincent listened then sighed and shook his head. Catherine looked up at him with great concern. �Is something wrong?� He turned to her again and pulled her into his arms. �I am needed on a work detail in the lower tunnels.� She laid her head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. �Don�t worry Sweetheart, if you must go you must.� Vincent sighed once again. �I will come to you as soon as we have returned.� Catherine moved back out of his arms. �I will be waiting.� Chapter 2 Other authors index Shirley's Fanfic Index |
