The sanctuary's construction began on a beautiful island in the Mediterranean.
Adrian and Kieran had purchased the entire island—money was no object when you'd accumulated wealth for a millennium. The plans were ambitious: healing centers, training facilities, libraries, residences for all species.
"This is really happening," Adrian said, watching construction crews work.
"This is our legacy," Kieran replied, pulling him close. "What we'll be remembered for beyond crisis management."
That night, in their temporary residence on the island, they celebrated the beginning properly.
"Christen the new location?" Adrian suggested with a grin.
"Every surface," Kieran agreed.
They started in the bedroom, Kieran pressing Adrian into the mattress with familiar intensity. His hands mapped Adrian's body possessively, his mouth following.
"Five years and I still can't get enough of you," Kieran murmured against Adrian's skin.
"Good thing we have eternity then."
Kieran prepared Adrian thoroughly, his fingers working expertly. When he finally entered, they both groaned at the perfect connection.
"This place is ours," Kieran said, moving slowly. "Our sanctuary, our home, our future."
"Make love to me like you mean it," Adrian challenged.
Kieran's response was to shift their position, pulling Adrian's legs over his shoulders, driving deeper. The new angle had Adrian seeing stars, pleasure building impossibly high.
"Yes!" Adrian gasped. "Just like that—don't stop—"
"Never stopping," Kieran promised. "Never letting you go."
They came together intensely, Kieran's fangs in Adrian's throat, drinking deeply as they both shuddered with release.
After, they moved to the balcony, making love under the stars with the Mediterranean breeze cooling their heated skin. Then the shower, then the living room, fulfilling Kieran's promise to christen every surface.
By dawn, they were exhausted and completely satisfied.
"Best way to start a new chapter," Adrian declared.
"Wait until we finish construction. I plan to christen every room of the completed sanctuary too."
"That's going to take months."
"I'm very thorough."
