48: Marked with consequences

Demetri's sheets were soft and silky and when I was pressed up against them, I felt as though I were laying on a cloud. Demetri hovered over me, just taking the time to memorise every feature on my face which was now warm and red under his gaze. Slowly he lifted his fingers and traced the back of them against the skin of my cheek emitting soft sparks.
"I want to do this properly... start it off right. And so, I think I'll start with one of the places I've never been able to touch. Your lips..." With that, he moved his fingers towards my lips where he traced his thumb against the skin of my lower lip, and I shivered and gulped. We hadn't kissed yet, that was true enough, and just the thought of his lips being on mine had me beyond excited. Slowly he began leaning down, now placing his fingers underneath my chin and tilting it up slightly. His blue eyes were heavily lidded and as he leaned in closer, I began to notice something rather endearing. A deep, pink blush had made its way onto his face. I found the fact that he was flustered absolutely adorable.
Even his fingers, I could tell, were shaking against my chin and the fact that this was his first kiss was never made clearer. Our lips were just about to touch when Demetri suddenly froze, still staring down at me. Yes, we had come close to kissing many times, but never this close, and it seemed that the fact that this was his first kiss was really making an impact on him. And so, to ease his nerves I reached out and softly touched at his cheek before using my other arm to prop myself up. And as I leaned up into him, my lips finally met his. Kissing Demetri was nothing short of perfect. His lips were soft and very warm and so was his face. Eventually, Demetri seemed to have grown a little more confident and took my hands in his before pinning them down on the bed. His hands then moved from my wrists to my palms where his fingers intertwined in mine. He then parted from my lips and I opened my eyes slowly. When I did, I was met with the most exquisite look ever. Demetri's face was even more flushed than it had been before and his eyes had changed to their golden colour with luminous streams of blue leaking from the dark pupils. They carried this deep, intense look in them- a look so intense, it had my breath hitched.
"You are so beautiful," He whispered before placing his lips on mine again, this time kissing me deeper and more passionately than before. At one stage he even bit gently at my lower lip, making me gasp in surprise. He took the opportunity to let his tongue invade my mouth and I relished in the feeling of our lips brushing against each other, our tongues sliding over one another and our breaths mingling. All I could feel was warmth, his warmth and it entered my skin and burned me in the best way possible. His fingers then moved from mine, down my arms, my shoulders, up the back of my neck and then they tangled into my hair, making me moan into his mouth desperately. I was now wanting more, and I could feel not only my vampire instincts kick in, but my werewolf ones kicking in as well. In fact, I was almost sure the werewolf part of me was beginning to dominate the vampire side of me- something I hadn't quite achieved since the moment I stepped foot into this vampire infested palace.
Demetri tugged at my hair harder, surprising me and making me moan again. It was then that the strangest sound made its way to my eardrums. It was a deep, low, animalistic growl. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard come from Demetri before. It was dark and feral and carnal and the thought of it made me shiver in excitement.
His lips then began moving hungrily from my lips to the line of my jaw, and then down my neck. They were wet, warm and had me panting heavily and moaning uncontrollably.
"I c-can't control myself..." He growled softly against my skin.
I bit my lip before saying, "You don't have to."
As soon as it left my mouth, he let a deep, rough growl rip from his chest before sinking his teeth deeply into my neck, fitting it perfectly over Sebastian's mark. But the moment his teeth entered my flesh, I began to experience the most excruciating pain I'd ever felt in my life. It was a searing, sharp pain which ran from my neck, right down to the tips of my fingers, the pit of my stomach, the curves of my hips and even the ends of my toes. I started screaming out as the agonising pain surged throughout my body, and as I did, Demetri placed his hand over my mouth, probably not wanting anyone to come bursting through the doors. His teeth were still deep in my neck and I could feel my blood dripping down my neck, and it pooled between the back of my neck and the pillow my head was against. I actually expected to pass out, the way I did when Sebastian had marked me- at least then there would have been an end to the excruciating pain- but I didn't. Slowly Demetri's teeth began moving out of my flesh. I really hoped that by him removing his teeth, the pain would die down, but it didn't. In fact, the pain only grew worse, eventually turning into a burning, searing heat that began forming in my stomach and then spread right between my legs. By now a thin layer of sweat had formed against my skin and my screams had turned into soft agonising whimpers against his hand. But as the searing heat intensified, I began to notice something rather odd. I didn't feel any intense heat or pain where Demetri was touching. Not my lips, nor my one hand which he gently clutched at. In fact, the sides of my legs where his legs touched against mine were exempt from any pain or intense heat as well.
"Oh fuck..." I heard Demetri whisper, rather worried. And so, it was only natural that I become worried too. I attempted to stop my screaming and moved his hand away from my mouth before asking in deep pants, "W-what's wrong-g."
Tears streamed down my face and my back suddenly arched as another, more intense wave of heat surged through me and I whimpered in pain.
Demetri immediately moved away from me and placed his hand over his nose, but his eyes had become an even brighter shade of golden and instead of blue, red streamed from his black pupils. The sight of him terrified had me out of my mind. What the hell was going on?
"Fuck!" He mumbled again before letting a low growl rip from his chest again. It seemed whatever was wrong with me was affecting him too, and so, I screamed out, almost in unrelenting, raw frustration, "What th-the h-hell is wrong!"
He stared at me, mortified, and then uttered something I hadn't quite been expecting, at least, not yet.
"Y-you're in h-heat..."
