The Auction novel Chapter 37

Tatina POV

Being with Draco these last few years has done something wonderful for me. After surviving the hell Craig put me through, Draco has showed me nothing but love and compassion. I know he loves me, he shows me every single day we are together.

He is patient and kind. He allows me time to decompress and be by myself. It is strange how we became a couple. First he was my rescuer then my best friend, somehow I worked myself into his bed as his lover, but ultimately he became to me the man I needed.

He doesn’t feed on me ever. He knows it is something that scares me now. He has never tried but once. I think I almost lost my mind that night. Draco being Draco held me while I cried. He helped me through so much. Then he taught me how to fight for the rights of others. He taught me how to be me. I became a warrior to stop the auctions because of him and him alone.

When I had my worst night rescuing women and men in the auction, he held me all night. He let me cry until the tears stopped. I knew then I loved him. He tells me all the time how important I am to him. He doesn’t even know that I feel the same way. I have become hard in the last two years but not where he is concerned. He is my weakness.

I will fight beside him and for him until the end of time. He asked me to marry him more than once. I never said no, but I have not said yes either. I know I will marry him some day. When the pain of yesterday finally stops and I can give myself to him completely I will say yes.

I think because of my special circumstances I am afraid he will want children. I do not want to bring any child into this world that has to worry about an auctioneer stealing them and selling them. I could not live with myself if someone I brought into this world became a hybrid breeder. He has never brought any of it up, but I know he thinks about it. We have a long life ahead of us.

Today is my day with him. I want to lay in the bed snuggled up to his incredible body. I want to hold him and fuck him all day long. I do not want to think about the auction or what it is doing to people. I only want to be his today.

“What are you thinking about?” Draco asks.

“Us,” I say as I run my fingers across his stomach.

“I think you are thinking about more than only us,” Draco says.

“I was thinking about how much I love you and how I do not think you know it,” I say.

“I know you love me,” Draco says.

“Do you?” I ask.

“I am the first person you come to when you are happy or sad; that is how I know you love me,” Draco says.

“You are the only person in my life, Draco,” I say.

“That is not true. You have all these people you have helped. They all adore you,” Draco says.

“But not like you. You are everything to me,” I say.

I run my fingers down his stomach to his cock. I begin rubbing him. I want him inside me more than ever. I need him today. I do not know why, but today I only want to be here in this bed with him inside me.

“Marry me?” Draco says.
