He was ecstasy incarnate even while he slept.

Aglow with her returning powers, all but humming with energy fueled by his blood and body, Jade stayed wide awake while her male succumbed to a light doze.

She shifted slightly to hold him deeper inside her, his sex still hard and pulsing within her core.

They lay on their sides facing each other, his arms wrapped around her torso possessively, one of her hands on his chest above his heart, the other idly playing with the short waves of his hair at the nape of his neck.

No male had ever pleased her as he did over the past however many hours he’d Nourished her body with his own. They’d been locked in her chambers together for at least forty-eight hours.

A deep sadness penetrated her thick, post-coital haze at the thought.

Already two days gone.

Sixteen left.

She felt like she had only sixteen days of life left, the thought of him leaving her was so abhorrent.

Though she’d had countless lovers in her long existence, she’d never trusted anyone so completely with herself, never held anyone in her arms, let alone inside her body, while they slept.

He knew about her tears.

The ones she never shed when awake, the ones she didn’t remember shedding when asleep.

Somehow, she felt both stronger and more vulnerable because of his knowledge.

He was her greatest weakness and her greatest strength. When he left her, she would feel bereft. If he stayed, she would be invincible.

She knew this about him even three years ago, though she might never have admitted it to herself. She’d let him go, then, because she was too afraid of her weakness. But now that she knew the full power of his Nourishment, her absolute need to have him, keep him, trumped her fear.

But how to convince him to stay beyond the sixteen remaining days? How to keep him forever?

Jade couldn’t think of one single thing in her possession that could tempt him enough to tie his life to hers for eternity.

He was a male who knew exactly what he wanted, what he believed in, and nothing could sway him from his decisions.

She rejected the idea of enslaving him by force—she didn’t want that.

She wanted him to choose her.

Reluctantly, she thought of his human wife.

Based on his description of her, Jade compared very poorly. Perhaps she might have the advantage of physical looks, but without his love, it didn’t matter.

His love.

Jade’s mood and self-confidence lowered even further. She hadn’t felt this uncertain of herself since she was an innocent babe.

She knew all about driving males mad with lust, but she knew nothing about love.

Real love.

If indeed the chimera did exist.

Apparently, it existed for Seth, but never for Jade.

She just wasn’t made that way. She didn’t evoke those sentiments in males, or females, for that matter. Somehow, she only aroused their basest urges, and she saw them the same way.

Once upon a time, she might have yearned for different things. She might have tried harder to believe in the unattainable, if for nothing else than to give herself hope.
