I sat on our bed, every inch of my body ached and hurt I had bruises in unforgiving places, I felt so horrible of all the things he was doing to me, I know in the sick twisted Vampri way Thomas does in some ways care for me. he brings me food he knows I can eat, he will always bring me a flower from his hunting trips and always protecting me is ever another man so much as touches me. But his abusive lovemaking was getting harder and harder to take, as sweet as he was I was scared of him whenever he leant in for a kiss or his hands touched me I flinched away and any time I denied him he would get confused and angry with me.

I knew I couldn't live this way anymore, so I waited for him to get home, and as soon as he did he put his hunting things on the table and sat on the bed

"Ummm good morning beautiful wife" he smiled "My pretty little huntress" I couldn't say anything I just let tears run down my face "... Tears?" He asked very confusedly trying to wipe them away but I pushed his hands away "Why... wife cry?"

"Thomas... you're hurting me," I told him

"Hurt? Wife hurt?" He asked sounding very concerned "when?... how?"

"You hurt me! every night" I yelled "Hurt in bed"

"In bed..." he said looking puzzled before something clicked in his head and tears welled up in his eyes "My huntress... I'm sorry"

"Sorry?" I asked

"I meant... no harm" He said struggling with his words "I meant only to... bed new wife, seed wife, give family"

"Well you hurt me" I argued

"No bed... until you want bed with you," He says taking the pillow he has off the bed and one of the blankets making a little bed on the floor "No bed till wife better"

"Thomas... you can still sleep here" I laughed pulling him back into bed

"So... bed? No seed?" he asked and I nodded

"Bed, No seed" I nodded

"Until my huntress wants me too" He smiled kissing my head softly and gently "Did wife want... kisses? where she hurts?"

"No thank you Thomas" I smiled

"Would wife like... hug?" he offered

"I would" I smiled he carefully and gently wrapped his arms around my waist keeping them far from anywhere intimate as we laid on the bed slowly cuddling even if a hand moved up to play with my hair I didn't touch him a little worried but he kissed my hand resting it on his chest

"My huntress can touch, wife can touch all she likes" he smiled "Promise... wife tells me when If I hurt her? so she won't have any more tears?"

"I promise Thomas" I smiled
