Jacque took a deep breath and let it out slow. She closed her eyes, concentrating on her body. She could still feel a dull ache but it was even better than after the first time he had given her his blood.
“I feel much better,” she told him honestly. Her brow furrowed when she asked, “Fane, will this affect the Blood Rites since I've taken your blood?”
“No, Luna. Because I have not taken your blood, the Rites are not complete yet.”
Jacque nodded her understanding. She rolled onto her back and for the first time looked around at her surroundings. She realized they were in a small but luxurious room. There was soft overhead lighting along the edge of the room. They were lying on a queen sized bed that almost completely filled the space.
“Is this the back of the plane?” she asked him.
