Charisse washed her body and dressed in an old gown of Yasmine’s. The hem was too short and the bodice tightly fitted, but it would serve until she could find her way home.
Home. London seemed a thousand miles away, even though she knew they couldn’t be far from its outskirts. The carriage ride here had been completed in under an hour, but gazing out the window onto the moonlit garden, she had no clue where she was. She missed her father and her pet, Plague, dreadfully, but she was reluctant to leave until she knew Damien’s fate. She wanted to be there for him when he dealt with his brother, even though the thought of war scared her.
“Are you homesick?”
Charisse turned at the sound of Yasmine’s voice. It was the first she’d seen of the Counsel leader since the night she’d arrived. Yasmine seemed a creature of the shadows as she moved into the room and perched upon the room’s only chair.
Charisse turned her back to the window, but remained standing there. “A little.”
Yasmine’s black hair gleamed as she tossed it over one shoulder and settled comfortably into the chair. “It shouldn’t be much longer and then you can return to your home.”
Damien had also referred to her return, but she was curious why they would let her go. Her knowledge of them put the vampyres in a dangerous position. How could they trust her to not tell their secrets? She asked the question and earned a soft chuckle from Yasmine.
“Your mind will be cleansed before you are released.”
“What?” Charisse gasped. Over her dead body. She was not about to give up the memory of being in Damien’s arms.
“It is not painful.” Yasmine reassured her.
“I don’t care about that,” Charisse snapped. “I refuse to have my mind cleansed.
Things happened here that I would like to remember.”
“Ah!” Yasmine said with a knowing smile. “You finally brought Damien to his knees.”
Charisse’s cheeks flamed with angry color. “That is none of your concern.”
Yasmine smiled, her fangs flashing wickedly in the dim glow of moonlight streaming through the open window. “I could help you. I am considered quite the expert at sexual matters.”
Charisse gaped at her. “You are?”
Yasmine got to her feet and crossed the room toward her. “From the moment I was twelve, I was taught all the ways to please my future husband. I studied the art of Kama Sutra while I was a human. I was brought here before my marriage, but I have not forgotten how it feels to be a mortal woman, nervously wondering if she was pleasing her mate.”
Yasmine circled her, seducing her with soft words and echoes of her own private fears. “Damien is afraid to let go with you. He’s frightened that his passion will harm you. Am I right?”
Charisse was entranced. “Yes.”
Yasmine stopped moving and touched her shoulder. “Sit. I will explain all.”
Charisse did as she asked, unable to take her eyes off Yasmine, who settled at her feet in a flurry of perfumed silk.
