The Vampire Pirate's Daughter (25 page)

He steps closer to me. “Even if you give
up on me, you could not stop it if William has the virus. He would
still change. I will always be here to protect him and I will never
let them touch him. I swear.”

I look up at him despondently. I want to
believe so much in what he is telling me. Can I really choose what
is best for me, or must I choose what is right for William? If I
changed, I would be able to protect William against the changing
world. When the Four Judges came, I could protect him more easily.
After living so long, eternal life is terrifying. Although I would
no longer feel my heart reverberate through my body, I know living
has nothing to do with the beating of my heart, or how close I come
to dying, it is all about my soul, my feelings, love and yearning,
hope, endurance, my spirit and my complete essence.

He smiles brilliantly. “I am not going to
stop until you give in to me. Marry me.”

I look toward William digging in the sand
across from me and I say quietly, “I love you, Callum, and one day,
I promise, I am going to choose that you change me, but not just
yet.”

He takes a step backwards and he asks softly,
incredulously, “What?”

I look up at him, into his dark eyes and I
smile. “I did not say yes. I said maybe.”

He smiles mischievously. “Still, it is not a
definite no. You know if I change you, you will be my life-long
responsibility?”

I laugh embarrassed. “If you don’t mind, I
don’t mind.”

He scoops me up in his arms and he hugs me to
him. “I love you, Susanna.” He kisses me firmly and I forget where
we are. My arms creep around his neck and I lift myself higher.

I hear Edward’s voice from a distance,
“Behave yourselves, there is a child here.”

Callum lets me go reluctantly and then he
walks away from me elated. He ruffles William’s hair as he walks
past him and William smiles up at him admiringly.

I grin happily while I go back to work.
Soon I will marry him, but not yet.
