Chapter 39

• VENTRESS
• I swam in the embrace of uninterrupted, peaceful sleep - a rare rest from the haunting nightmares that tormented me for far too long. It was a great level of peace, just me covered in warmth, absorbing the intoxicating blood of my soulmate cuddled in my lap, vulnerable and innocent. At this moment, nothing else existed.
• I nuzzled into the delicate curve of her neck, enjoying the fragrance that enveloped her as the siren call of her blood sang to my baser instincts. I was utterly captivated by the symphony of temptation and beauty.
