Reesha smiled and began taking off her clothing. Carissa watched her with pleasure for a few moments, and then began stripping off her own dress. She got completely undressed, and then with Reesha's eyes on her, she stretched like a cat showing off her bountiful breasts and the sweet curves of her body. She climbed into the bed with Reesha and reached out to take her lover's hand.

"I love you," they both said with one voice and drifted off to sleep.

The sun was still high when Carissa woke. It was some movement, some small sound signaling danger that brought her to instant awareness. Her eyes adapted to the dim light immediately, and she could make out Reesha standing by the heavy drapes that covered the southward facing windows. If Reesha opened the curtains, Carissa would be dead, horribly dead as the sun burned her body to ash. Reesha lit a candle and noticed that Carissa was awake.

"If I opened the drapes, what would happen?"

"I would burn to death." Carissa deliberately threw off the blankets exposing her naked body. "It would be quick, I think, but painful."

Reesha shuddered. "If you are going to stay here during the day, then I will have shutters put up. I don't want to risk accidentally moving the curtains and doing something horrible to you."

Carissa smiled sleepily. "Thank you, my love."

"I'm going to go have breakfast. Do you need to sleep some more?" ' "Yes. Until the sun sets. Ryan can get up in the early afternoon, but infant vampires need to sleep."

Reesha smiled and kissed her sleepy lover. She slipped on her robe and went into the other room to make something to eat.

When Carissa woke again, the sun was just over the horizon. She got up and stretched again. She was a bit hungry herself, but she could hunt later. She went to the window and opened the curtains just enough to look out. About now, Clywd would be climbing into the carriage to come into town to see Master McKay. She hoped that their mutual love for music would allow them to work together, and that Clywd would find what he needed with the maestro. She scanned the street, her tongue peeking between her lips as she considered all that wonderful hot blood down there just waiting for her. She wondered if Reesha would let her keep a few dresses here, for she felt in the mood to play the streetwalker tonight. Then she froze as she spotted another vampire.

He was going into the tavern where Timothy usually waited. Was it coincidence? Or was the vampire watching Carissa? But that meant one of her kind had to have followed her here the night before. This one was not very skilled at concealing himself, and Carissa was sure she would have spotted him last night. Carissa took a moment to still her heart and breathing. It had to be a coincidence, but that did not mean that the vampire could not be a danger to her.
