This is their last kiss before he goes to war.

A Story
For any of you sweet readers that has ever had a tooth for vampires. This story is a sexy-sweet read, don't be surprised if you read it more than once. There is even some inspiration to be had from this story if you're paying attention..
'Tracy chased Vachon up the stairs, laughing and crying and filled with the joy of what was happening to them. They get a second chance. This time she wasn't going to blow it. And tonight...tonight they were finally going to make love. She remembered the moment of his bite, the incredible sucking and drawing of her blood into him, and the pulsating waves washing over her. The thought took her breath away.'

It will all work out eventually
'I’ve been thinking a lot about how lucky I am. How I used to consider myself unlucky in love and with women in general. Sure I could have sex with plenty but when it came to actual relationships it never worked out the way I had hoped. Either I didn’t feel it or they didn’t feel it.
I was reminded of this recently when my first real girlfriend added me as a friend on facebook. We emailed back and forth, catching up, talking about her kids, her ex husband, her new boyfriend. This is the first woman to break my heart. I was 19 and thought I’d never recover from it. I was crushed. Now I wanted to thank her for it. But how do you thank someone for breaking up with you because you found something so much better? You found what you always wanted even at 19 but didn’t’ think it was possible. How do you say that without sounding like an asshole?
Fast forward a few days and I’m finishing up some work. Sade had gone to bed a few minutes before and I was in a rush to join her. I take out the trash, wash the dishes, brush my teeth and I quietly walk into the bedroom.
She’s fast asleep. Naked and sprawled out. My heart jumps at the sight of her, seconds later my cock does too. I strip and lay next to her, tempted to start kissing her back or gently lick her ass, or nibbling her ear. I’m pretty sure if I did, she’d wake up and jump on me but I can’t seem to bring myself to disturb her. She looks so breathtaking while she’s dreaming that it feels like it would be a crime.
I start thinking about the road that took me here, how it’s more than just the kind of sex I was looking for.
It’s not just about the beatings, the bondage, the amazing sex, my submission to her or her dominance of me.
It’s about the day to day, the not as kinky days.
It’s about walking in the door from work and squeezing her tight.
It’s about making her a snack in the kitchen only to turn around to see her smiling at me and finding out she was standing there the whole time just enjoying me making her something.
It’s about giving her massages while listening to This American Life.
It’s the lazy days, the planning for the future, the laughing, the inside jokes, the cuddling and a million other things.
I think back again to that 19 year-old version of me. If I could go back in time I would have told him not to worry, that everything would work out, to just enjoy the journey and not worry so much about the destination.
That he shouldn’t focus so much on what he doesn’t have and take pleasure in the things he does have.
It will all work out eventually.'

How to Be Romantic?
This charming little article, courtesy of wikiHow, could provide some romantic perspective for some.
Break the monotony
Many people associate the beginning of a relationship with romance, excitement and inspiration because everything is new. You've just met this person and the relationship is unfolding--what will happen tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Will he call? Will we kiss? Will she visit? But after the relationship is established, we settle into a routine, and nothing is new anymore. To be romantic, to reintroduce the excitement that characterized the beginning of the relationship, do something different, something that your partner wouldn't expect. The more out of the ordinary, the better!
Court them
Pretend that you and the person just met, and you want the person to fall for you. What would you do to impress them? To show them that you're interested? To win them over? Treat your partner like they're single, like you're trying to earn their affection and trust. The opposite of being romanced is being taken for granted. No one wants to feel like they've already been "caught" and it's over and done with. Put on a show! Stay on your toes! The most romantic ideas come to people when they fear they might lose the one they love. But you don't have to actually be on the verge of losing someone in order to tap into that mindset!
Make it Personal
Romance is not "one-size-fits-all." The stereotypical icons of romance (roses, candles and chocolate) can only go so far. Think about what really gets that special someone excited. Recognize what makes your partner unique, and find/do things for them that only they would appreciate. What are their quirky (perhaps secret) interests, obsessions and fantasies? Whenever they're shopping, talking, or watching a movie, what makes their eyes light up? Pay attention! Being romantic means acknowledging how special a person is, and that means demonstrating that you know--better than anyone else in the world--what makes them unique.
Focus on the little things
Romance can be practiced every day, and it doesn't have to be expensive or grand. In fact, sometimes the most romantic moments are simple, spontaneous and free. There are millions of ways to say "I love you" and "I'm lucky to have you." Think of the world as your medium. You can write it, say it, sculpt it, look it, hide it, shout it, paint it, kiss it, fold it, grow it, touch it, and express it in unlimited ways. Make it a habit to find a new way to be romantic every day. Be creative and have fun with it!
Be sincere. (This is very important)
To make someone feel appreciated, you have to really, truly be thankful for their presence in your life. Maintaining that sense of gratitude takes conscious effort. It's easy to forget how amazing someone is when you see them every day, but if you constantly remind yourself how lucky you are to share your life with that person, every day will be the most romantic day of your life.
Remember!
Being romantic doesn't mean being obsessive. There's a difference between expressing appreciation and expecting a person to devote all of their time to you in return. You're an individual, not just one half of a relationship, so don't be consumed by your efforts to romance someone else. You can be romantic and be yourself at the same time.
Don't allow outward romance to drown out inward warnings. If a guy or a girl seems too good to be true, go slowly and find out what he or she is really all about. He or she may be all right, but only time will tell.

Never Feel Guilty
To want love is human, to receive love is heavenly. Never feel guilty for that most transcendent need. It will be with you for life. Learn, in your own way, to embrace the love around you and within you. Everyone has something to give, and everyone must learn how to take. Write a note to yourself today confessing your adoration for who you are and what you represent as a being. Don't tie your shoes so tightly, sweet reader.

What's in a Definition?
Romance, or better yet, romanticism, comes bursting with meaning for many people. Yet what does it really mean?
'In a basic sense, the term "Romanticism" has been used to refer to certain artists, poets, writers, musicians, as well as political, philosophical and social thinkers of the late 18th and early to mid 19th centuries. It has equally been used to refer to various artistic, intellectual, and social trends of that era. Despite this general usage of the term, a precise characterization and specific definition of Romanticism have been the subject of debate in the fields of intellectual history and literary history throughout the twentieth century, without any great measure of consensus emerging. Arthur Lovejoy attempted to demonstrate the difficulty of this problem in his seminal article "On The Discrimination of Romanticisms" in his Essays in the History of Ideas (1948); some scholars see romanticism as essentially continuous with the present, some see in it the inaugural moment of modernity, some see it as the beginning of a tradition of resistance to Enlightenment rationalism—a Counter-Enlightenment—and still others place it firmly in the direct aftermath of the French Revolution. An earlier definition comes from Charles Baudelaire: "Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor exact truth, but in the way of feeling."'
I have to say that Wikipedia wrote a short, yet decent piece on the subject. Read further into it if you're so intrigued.

An Offering
Hello sweet humans. It's me, Aphrodite. The one true goddess of Love, Beauty, and Sexuality. Why am I here? you might be asking. I shall tell you, dear humans. This journal is to be a beacon of hope and creation through love, and through sex..if you so choose it for your own. This period in time is an exciting one. Things are being created, done, even said, that have never been before. There's more freedom for expression then there has been in too long a time. However, the romantics in this great world are burning up and dying out. Some of them have given up and shifted to a platonic kind of life.
Dear reader, I am here to help. To inspire, if only you allow it.
May we both learn something along the way.
