Decisions to be made! That's how this episode should start. In all of my existence I had never faced such a trial of my heart or inflamed passion.
I know eventually Jenna would have to be told the truth. Maybe she would want to turn, but we now also had 3 children to consider in adding to the fold. I wasn't sure if she could handle the knowledge that may soon come. The children had been gifted with some of my vampire blood. They would be much stronger than made or turned vampires, but not ever as strong as one of the ten. Being of human blood too they would come into their abilities sometime around their 16th year. Our oldest Daphne was already showing signs of early maturity and I may have misjudged exactly when the change would come.
Jenna on the other hand would like the opportunity perhaps to make herself change a few things if she was going to live for an eternity. It was one of those self-image. I supposed I should sit her down and discuss the future as soon as she returned from Afghanistan. It was coming up soon and she would be home in a few days. Having lived as long as I had I knew I had to make changes in our life, more to the point mine and how things in the home ran. I had loved Jenna for 16 years at this point and not always been the best husband or father. I had put myself forward and with work and soccer had been allowed to make them all consuming at times. Also I found myself possessive and unable to always allow her the freedom she may need to keep sanity. I cursed myself when that realization hit and forced myself shortly after to begin making the long lasting changes. When she came home I wanted her shocked and surprised at the man I had become. I only hoped it wasn't too late.
When Jenna finally came home the reunion was great for a day or so and then the bombshell hit. She felt different and it crushed me beyond belief. One woman I had fallen in love with in over 3,000 years and now she wasn't sure she wanted to remain with me. It had been my biggest fear when she went away, and sure I could have portalled over to her anytime, but I felt I could trust her due to the nature of our relationship. Little did I realize that all the damage I had done and all her years of silence, bottling up issues, had finally come to a head.
When confronted of the truth that she had been involved in a relationship with another person, inside I shattered. Who knew a vampire would be capable of heart break. I pleaded and begged and I'm not proud of it. I accepted that maybe we could make things better, not go back! I didn't want to go back, nor her to bottle things up again, so we'd seek counseling which is where we are today.
So many times the man or woman hurt couldn't get past the betrayal, I couldn't either at first, but deep down I knew that if I could find a way to show her that yes, after years, I could finally change and be the husbanded she needed, maybe just maybe she'd be in my arms again. It was going to be a hell of a process. Jenna first had to let go of this other person and then deal with that loss before she could focus on us. I briefly though of using my abilities to eliminate this mortal who had corrupted my marriage, but then realized had she not been unhappy, and felt she could talk to me then Jenna wouldn't have done it in the first place. I fought internally with this for nearly a month before I figured I had to let it go. I could hold this grudge for an eternity being immortal or I could fight to have my wife back!
At first I struggled to give her space, I wanted to talk through everything wrong in the past and how to make her love me again. Whenever that happened she'd let her eyes glaze over and shut down. Too much too soon. I eventually through the help of my friend and mother in-law, who felt more like my own mother, and my therapist figured out how to keep my mouth shut and wait. This destroyed a little feeling inside me, shut out of our intimate life because Jenna couldn't find it to kiss me or make love again. No playful butt smacks, no kissing and no breasts to play with and this went on for over a month. Finally one night prior to her having to go away for a week for work Jenna sat me down.
"Stephen," she started, "Our vacation went well and I wanted to try and make love maybe when we go to the Islands in a few weeks."
"OK", I replied not trying to show too much excitement and probably failing miserable.
"We can try a little tonight and if it leads to more I just have to know that if I say stop you will."
"I can agree to that princess!" I told her, "Nothing has to happen, I want it too but you're worth the wait."
As I said this she got up and led me by the hand to the bedroom. Locking the door behind her.
"Get on the bed please," she requested..
I complied sliding up, getting on the bed. She peeled off her shirt, exposing those magnificent breasts until she was leaning over me. She leaned down and for the first time in months she kissed me, not just a little kiss but hot, tongue caressing action that made me immediately rock hard and at attention. She rolled over on her back and pulled my head down to her chest.
"The girls have missed you," she said in a sultry voice.
I attacked her hard pink nipples, sucking, swirling my tongue, pulling with one hand while my mouth was busy with the other. I took my time venturing back up for kisses and back to her chest. Thinking the entire time I had to let her read.
Jenna was writhing and moaning and gasping as she had an orgasm from just her nipples being stimulated. I murmured, "I love you's" in there and continued my assault. When she finally started to come back down I shifted back and let her breathe as I kissed her a few more times.
Jenna looked deep into my eyes and asked me if I wanted to get off as well. I was torn, I needed, and wanted release but was just as happy because I felt she was finally letting me back in. I had repeatedly told her I'd do anything, and I meant anything to keep her. To show her our loves was still there and help her find it. I didn't want her to rush things on her end and so I told her, while I did want that it could wait.
"Your wait may not be long," she whispered.
I just smiled, "Take your time Jenna!"
I went in to use the bathroom and when I came back out she was fast asleep. About two A.M. I awoke to a warm sensation around my cock. Jenna was sliding her lips up and down to the base like a woman possessed. I let my hand fall to the back of her head encouraging her to keep up the pace and quickly warned her I was about to cum.
Jenna sped up, unbelievably and took me deep into her throat. I thought I could smell her wet heat and I was right when I noticed her bare pussy rubbing my leg. Swallowing all I had to offer Jenna then came up and kissed me. Now some men would be revolted by this but not I. If she was willing to suck and swallow then she deserved a kiss.
As our kissing increased her center slid up and down my hard length. I slid in and out and worked my hips to touch every spot inside her. Claiming my wife again, as a husband. I'd never try to possess or control her again; I vowed the day she explained that's how she felt. I looked into her open eyes as I made love to her. The she said it.
"Oh god I still love you Stephen," my heart burst with joy.
We still had a long way to go to make things right but this was a hell of a start. Jenna whimpered and bit my shoulder, drawing blood with her nails down my back as she came. Then the dam broke, tears poured from us both.
"Jenna, I love you too, and I'll never let you get hurt by me again." I blubbered.
Jenna issued apologies and asked me to forgive her choices while she was gone. I couldn't refuse her; I forgave her and promised again we'd make it. We made love all night, she was forced to finally nap and take a break when the kids got up in the morning. I told her to sleep, "I'll take care of them and you get your rest beautiful."
I slipped out of the bedroom a new man; a new vampire with a hunger to have a lifelong mate. I knew I had to sit her down soon and explain who I really was, and what immortality could mean to her. But first we still had more to work on with "us". We still had a long way to go to fix everything that had been damaged. I wasn't sure how long that would take but it had been a start.
Jenna may have been leaving for 5 days but I knew when she came back she was either going to regret giving in or she was going to be a horny mess. We chatted a few times while she was gone and she told me she loved me and I needed to be ready for her return. That there'd be some fun the weekend she got home but that while we were in the islands she figured a lot of that vacation was going to be used for straight up sex.
When I picked her up from the airport this time it was a look of joy on her face when I met her with the kids in tow at the arrival gate.
Whispering in my ear Jenna shared, "You are unlucky tonight, I was going to give you the best roadhead, I guess you'll have to wait until they are in bed tonight."
