Christopher took in a deep
breath and froze as every cell in him hummed to life: human.
The sweet scent of blood seeped into him.
His eyes narrowed and his stomach growled. How long had it
been since he’d sunk his fangs into a living being? In here, he didn’t need to
hunt as his boss provided all the nourishment he needed, most of it animal. It was
never the same but it kept him going.
But this.
He inhaled sharply again, realizing how
he’d missed it. The delicious fragrance, coppery, yet sweet, and particular to
each person. She smelled like vanilla and cinnamon.
