I wake. The room is silent and dark around me. I'm wrapped in silken sheets and covered by the soft, heavy blanket. Rolling to the side, I see Carver, his face relaxed in deep rest. His arm slips off my hip, onto the top of the bed as I move. It's a rare moment of stillness for him and I take advantage of the chance to examine him. His dark hair is mussed, as if he'd run his fingers through it over and over again before falling to sleep. His long eyelashes rest against his cheek, those strong cheekbones and sculpted jaw line something I won't ever be able to forget. I tuck myself against him, running my fingers over his chest. He still feels warm, and the memory of the way he fed from me as we made love brings a rush of heat to my cheeks. It was so intensely pleasurable, parts of me tingle all over again from the thought of it. The idea of my blood sustaining him, warming him from within, makes me ridiculously happy.

The sound of an alert pulls my attention away from the glorious man in the bed with me. My phone is going off and I scramble, my feet tangled up in the sheets. By the time I'm able to free myself and get safely out of bed, I can hear the ringing has stopped.

My fingers close around the smooth case and I pull it out, feeling slightly triumphant. I'm not much for mornings so any accomplishment right after I get out of bed feels like I've won a race.

My voicemail alert goes off and I hit the button to listen. The ghoul's voice comes over the line.

"Ms. Orman, I'm sorry to have missed you. Please call me when you have a chance. I believe I have what you need. We can schedule a time to meet and go over the specifics. I look forward to hearing from you soon."

I sigh as his message ends. I'd still been reveling in the fantasy of last night. My eyes are drawn to Carver, to where he rests so comfortably in that large bed, where he'd held me and told me I was beautiful. I'd felt like a goddess.

"That's better than most people get," I say to myself, shaking my head. "Count your lucky stars, girl."

The very thought of stars makes me look up, the dazzling ceiling display still running. I sit on the edge of the bed, my head tipped back and
