He was silent while she spoke. He understood he wanted to save him, watching to save her childhood friend. She was too good of a person to just let things like that slide, but she really needed to pick her battles better. he clenched his hand as the thought of someone tasting her blood before he did. He would never do that, take her blood. Even after so many years since his blood frenzy he would never take that chance even to taste her.
"We have never talked about it, but the first, our first time together...were you are virgin? I don't care if you were or not, but I just need to be 100% sure you were or not." The took a long pause. "After my father I never took a chance to get close to anyone. I feared them dying and leave me, or worse, I would kill them. Then Claire, a witch, came along and I thought maybe I could make something of that, but she didn't like me like I liked her. I bought another slave to make her jealous. I could tell Marie what I wanted her to do and she loved me because that was what she was told to do. But it was not real love. I ended up freeing Claire so she could be with her lover. Love for me was not worth it. I had slaves once in a while and visited brothels, I am not a saint." he moved into the room but still stood up the door.
"When I...when I received the alert from Lucius I...well to say the least I freaked out. I did something I have not done in years. I went full on vampiric. My eyes, my body, everything changed. I was so angry at you and Lucius...I wanted to rip him to pieces, I still want to. I was not as my best then with him coming to my home, and bringing the women I love home to me...I never want to show you that side of me, a reason I have never fed from you and that makes me angry that he got to taste you before me. You don't realize was blood means to a vampire. I know you love me, and I love you, but we have to trust each other. Please never time, listen to me and talk to him. I know I was not that level headed the last time and I will try to be next time." He sighed, finally taking a breath.
