can always ask me anything,
Curry, ” he encouraged.
    I felt like an immature adolescent
asking about the birds and the bees. “When you explained about our
physical relationship, you were vague about what to expect. I was
wondering if you could expand a little-maybe give me some kind of
idea about what to anticipate.”
    “I was purposely vague because I
didn’t want to place any type of expectations on you or Chansey,”
he explained. He saw my lack of reassurance and added, “I don’t
mind sharing my experience with Ella if you believe it would help
your feelings.”
    “I feel terribly intrusive for
asking you to do that. I know it must be painful to speak about
her.”
    He smiled and said, “No, I love to
talk about Ella because she represents the most spectacular time in
my life. She’s been a secret I’ve kept all of these years, but now
I get to share my memories of her with you.”
    His face lit up as he continued to
speak of Ella and I saw his love for her was as strong today as it
was when she was in his life. He laughed as he said, “It’s
fascinating how much Chansey reminds me of Ella. I have to tell you
to be prepared because it’s going to be a wild ride. She is a
fighter just like my Ella and I learned a valuable lesson I feel
required to pass along to you. The stronger the fighter, the
stronger the lover. Without doubt, our passion was the most
powerful and wonderful thing I have ever known. Your first taste of
blood as a newly turned vampire doesn’t hold a candle to it and I
strongly suspect it will be the same for you and
Chansey.”
    Sebastian’s experience with Ella
was encouraging, but not a guarantee that everything would go well
for me and Chansey. “I have this overwhelming fear of disappointing
her. Although she’s my Agápe, she’s still human and I’m not. What
if I don’t meet her expectations?”
    Sebastian seemed to be choosing his
words carefully. “Tell me how she makes you feel when she’s close
to you, when she touches you or looks into your eyes.”
    I thought about my answer for a
second before saying, “The simple graze of her hand against my skin
is the most splendid thing I have ever felt. It’s addicting. A
little is never enough. I feel drawn to be a part of her because
being close simply isn’t enough for me.”
    Sebastian’s face took on that wise,
fatherly smile I was accustomed to seeing whenever he advised me on
an issue troubling me. “I want you to think about the words you
used to describe your physical attraction to Chansey and tell me
how you could ever doubt your ability to be intimate with her.” He
gave me a minute to reflect on my description before he added,
“Now, if I understand things correctly, marriage vows must be
exchanged before you are agreeable to proceeding with the only act
that will finally eliminate these concerns. My advice is to set a
wedding date sooner, rather than later.”
    “Thank you for speaking so openly
with me about your relationship with Ella. I know you miss her
terribly.”
    “It is my hope and prayer that you
never experience the pain of missing Chansey the way I miss Ella,”
he said and sparked a change in the topic.
    He didn’t want me to repeat what he
considered his mistake with Ella. “I have promised Chansey that I
will think about turning her, but not until after we are married
and only after she has followed the complete transformation of a
fledgling.
    He laughed like I was in the dark
about something. “She will see your promise of consideration as an
agreement.”
    “Knowing her, she probably will,”
I agreed.
    “Be ready, Curry,” Sebastian
warned. “She will probably want to spend your honeymoon right here
waiting for the first newly turned vampire to come through the
doors of the compound.”
    It might be what she wanted, but it
wasn’t what I wanted. “What can I say, Sebastian? I’m a selfish
bastard. I want to be married to Chansey, the human. I love her the
way she is now-breakable
