Seventeen

Maya took a deep breath before she stepped into the kitchen. She felt invigorated by her shower and by having slept in Gabriel’s arms. He had given her more pleasure by touching and kissing her than she had ever felt during regular sex. When she was with him, things felt right again in her life. Almost as if everything was normal again, no, not normal—better.

For the first time since the transformation, she had a true awareness of her new body. She felt how her senses were attuned to her surroundings, how her body processed stimuli differently. It was a strange experience, almost as if this wasn’t her body, but somebody else’s. Somebody else’s, because for the first time in her life, she’d felt true sexual satisfaction in this body. Or maybe it wasn’t that she had a vampire body now, maybe it was all because of what Gabriel had done: he’d showered her with tenderness and passion without taking any pleasure for himself.

Maya knew Gabriel was in the kitchen even before she entered it. He’d slipped out of bed an hour before sunset, reassuring her that he would want nothing more than spend the entire night in bed with her. But he had work to do.

Gabriel greeted her with the smile of a satisfied man plastered on his face and drew her into his arms.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked against her lips.

“Only up until you left the bed.”

His lips curled upwards before he brushed them against her mouth. Then he straightened himself, and his face turned serious again. “I had to get in contact with my people. I spoke to Ricky, but he hasn’t been able to get in touch with your friends yet. I guess they are harder to pin down than we thought.”

“I could page them if you want.”

Gabriel shook his head. “And tell them what? Ricky said that a neighbor saw Paulette leave with an overnight bag.”

“Oh, I forgot. She has that one-day seminar in Seattle once a month and likes to go there the night before so she won’t be too tired.”

“Good. Then she’ll be back tomorrow. I’ll tell Ricky. As for Barbara, he’s trying to catch her at the hospital.” He looked at his watch. “I have to meet with Zane now. Do you want to feed before I leave?”

The thought of sinking her fangs into his neck made Maya feel flushed again. If she fed from him now, there was no way he would leave this house within the next hour or two, because for certain she would drag him back to bed.

“No, I’m fine right now.”

He gave her a look she thought might be disappointment. “If you say so.”

Maya stretched her arms out and put her fingers to his lips. “You know what will happen if I feed from you right now, don’t you? So why don’t you go and meet with Zane. In the meantime, I’ll work up an appetite.” She licked her lips. “I’m sure I’ll be ravenous when you get back.
