It was a kiss of life.

Flows of energy sprouted from our connected lips, down to my throat, and throughout my entire body. It was as if I was drinking cool refreshing liquid after being under the hot sun during hours of hard labor. Despite my past timorousness, a puissant impulse flooded through my veins like rapid fire and I bent weakly to its will. The darker side of me wanted more of this strength and his power. Using my newfound stamina, my hand snaked around his neck and pressed his mouth harder on mine with untrodden urgency. The softness of his kiss turned urgent. If I had been in my right mind, I would've blushed at my venturous act.

Elijah was hesitant at first, but eventually returned my zeal when my free hand slowly slid through his thick locks. He too was overcome with appetence and his growing kisses were tinged with a touch of longing that I could not comprehend. His body was pressed on top of mine and his hands that rested over my head trailed down my hips, causing me to sigh against his mouth; his lips incredibly soft, gentle, and yet demanding. I was not pitiful Heidi anymore. I didn't feel any shyness of my past personality. It had been replaced by pure intrepidity to seize what I wanted, and I wanted Elijah.

I nibbled on his bottom lip, shivering with anticipation when he let out a rumbling low growl. It sounded inhuman. Drawing back, Elijah breathed on the edge of my jaw, "Heidi, do not tempt me any further if you desire me to continue respecting your wish."

His words were like ice cold water splashing on my face. I was waking up from another daze and I immediately jumped away, red in the face. Pitiable Heidi had control once again. "Oh! M-My apologies! I do not know what overcame me to do s-such a thing. I did not mean to act hypocritically."

Despite my embarrassment, I noticed my body was humming with rejuvenated energy. I felt like I could've done anything with the endless power in my fingertips, letting my heart pound in excitement. My vision seemed brighter somehow as I stared at his face and in the room we were in. I remembered this room to be Lilly's chambers with the large wooden bed, antique dresser, and shelves full of sentimental trinkets. When my gaze timidly returned to Elijah, he brushed my hair off of my face.

His palm gently caressed my cheek as he assured, "It is I who should say such things. I had expected your reaction and had thought myself very much controlled to handle the consequences."

My eyes widened. "You knew of my response? And yet you continued despite the humiliation I would feel?"

Elijah tilted his head to the side, his dark brown eyes inquiring. "Do you have your doubts, Heidi?"

At the sound of my name in his voice, I blushed. He had called my name before, but not with the tender tone he used now. This further strengthened his fresh claim as my lover and my heart was beating at an uncontrollable pace. "No, I do not but my confidence of my place will only go on for so long. Will you tell me what I wish to know now?"

"Such anxiety is not becoming of a new lady," he murmured almost teasingly, "but there are things you must be informed of first."

"What is it?"

"Do you know of the time that has come to pass during your slumber?"

I frowned when the joy from his eyes faded away. Cautiously, I questioned, "How long has it been?"

"Eight days have gone and went."

My mouth dropped open in shock. "Oh, my . . . Eight days! Elijah, I had my suspicions but this is far too much to accept! I had thought it was one or two nights! The dream only felt like mere moments."
