April 28
Tesoro,
Watching you in your element in the bar tonight has been so entertaining. I haven’t spent much time watching humans and I haven’t been one in so long I don’t remember it clearly. You’re so confident in your ability to keep these people in line that I sometimes wish you would turn your eyes on me just to be beneath your gaze. My feelings grow every day, and I don’t know how much longer I can sit by and not take you in my arms. I dream of the night I can smell you on my skin and taste your mouth. I’m sorry if that’s too much, but at this point, I am making myself crazy. You are so quick witted and kind. You take care of the girls in the bar whether they are working girls or patrons. You keep a stern eye on everyone, and it makes me insane watching you knowing that you are still not mine.
I don’t pretend to have the answers. I don’t know what will happen now. I don’t pretend to have it all figured out. I want you to be mine and we will figure out the rest. I’m almost 500 years old, I don’t care about you being young. I don’t care how you look, even though you are beautiful. I care about your heart, your soul. Even a small amount of time in your light is worth a lifetime ofdarkness. I will continue to endeavor to earn your favor, but in the meantime, can I have another 2 hours?
I have been everywhere and done everything. And you are the greatest treasure I have found. I will take you everywhere and show you everything. I will do whatever it takes.
The Legame di Sangue is like a vampire marriage ceremony. Basically we gather witnesses, usually 1 or 2 from each party. When I take the oath, Marcus will likely be the overseer of the ceremony. We recite some archaic vows and both of us cut the inside of our arms. We are then bound together with cloth signifying a bond being forged for all of eternity. Usually Legame di Sangue involves blood sharing too since it's a commitment between either 2 vampires, or a human and a vampire, a human who intends to turn eventually. Afterwards, we usually have a party. Our parties often devolve into orgies but the newly bound couple may choose not to participate. With vampires, sex isn’t related to love. Vampires are pleasure seekers. We feed. We fuck. We fight. It’s all the same. We don’t think less of a partner who wants to have sex with someone else, especially if we are bound. There are other advantages and side effects of the bonding but I’m not allowed to write them in a letter. We can talk about it if things ever get thatfar. But either way we are bound together for as long as welive.
