Prompt 235
Ben woke up that night to find a
bouquet of multi-colored tulips at the foot of his bed tied with a big red bow.
Attached to the bow was a note that read:
Meet me at the edge of town on the south side xxx
Ben grinned when he recognized Adams
handwriting and the feel of Jamie’s magic, which explained how the flowers got
into his bedroom.
He hurried to shower and dress
before heading out.
Ben arrived at the specified
location to find a set of muddy footprints heading into the forest. Also in the
mud was an arrow made of sticks pointing the way.
He set off to follow the trail and
walked for about ten minutes before he came to a small clearing in the trees.
Candles had been lit and placed in
a circle around a large blanket on the ground.
On the blanket was all his
favorite finger food, cocktail sausages, scotch eggs, fruit slices and more. In
addition there was an open bottle of wine set in a bucket of ice off to one
side.
Plates, glasses and eating utensils
had been set out as well but there was no sign of Adam.
Ben stepped closer to the blanket
looking around for his vampire mate. The sound of a squirrel in a nearby tree
made him jump and he nearly squealed like a girl when two arms suddenly
encircled him from behind.
Adam turned him round and lifted
him off his feet to draw him into a possessive and passionate welcome kiss.
“I missed you my mate and I have
wanted to do that since I left you yesterday” Adam said, when they came up for
air.
“I missed you too” Ben replied, as
Adam set him down and they both took seats on the blanket.
Adam piled Ben’s plate high with
food and then sat back with a glass of wine to watch his mate eat what he had
provided.
Ben ate as much as he could and
tried to have some of everything. When he had finally eaten his fill he leant
back of his elbows with his glass of wine set nearby.
“That was delicious. But you know
you don’t have to get so much food all the time, considering you don’t eat.” Ben
said as patted his stuffed stomach.
Adam merely smiled and shrugged,
thinking his mate was underweight and needed someone to look after him and feed
him up.
After a few moments silence Adam noticed
Ben’s hand slowly moving closer to his. He daren’t move in case he scared the small
witch and made him move away again. As their fingers touched he finally moved
to join their hands and he felt the nervous tension flowing off of Ben.
“May I hold you?” Adam asked, hoping
he wasn’t pushing things too far.
He was rewarded with a nod from Ben
and when Adam opened his arms Ben moved to let himself be embraced.
Adam relished the feel of finally
having his mate in his arms, he dropped a kiss onto Ben’s head and relaxed back
onto the blanket taking Ben with him.
Once they were lying so Ben was curled
up on top of Adam, both of them relaxed and just enjoyed the comfort of the
others presence.
They lay together under the
moonlight as the candles burned down in their holders and the sounds of the
forest surrounded them.
It was a perfect night.
