bite her- if only
to take a drink- filled her heart with gratification.
    His body warmed
as he withdrew his fangs and licked her neck and breast, and she rested her
head on his strong shoulder for a moment, enjoying the feeling of his pleasure
contracting inside her.
    “Can
vampire’s have children,” she asked and ran a finger through the hair on his
shoulders.
    To her
surprise, William laughed. “Yes, only I’ve heard it’s difficult for vampire
women to conceive, though not impossible.” He said nothing about human women.
     Isabel
nodded and climbed off his warm lap. “I do need to get to work. Tabby won’t be
happy with me,” she said and hurried to slip on her chemise and robe. Her
clothes were still in her little room in the servant’s quarters, but no one but
Tabby and John would be up and about. While most humans still rose at dawn and
went about their business during the day, humans who lived in the care of
vampires had to adhere to a nocturnal schedule. Over the last ten years Isabel
had grown used to it, but at times she longed to spend a day in the warm
sunshine, or avoid needing a candle or lantern for every chore she performed.
Not to mention that the price the household spent on tallow and wax was
obscene!
    Hurrying
toward the other end of the house, she smelled breakfast cooking in the
kitchen- the familiar scent of fresh baked bread filled the air and made
Isabel’s stomach grumble. She’d been hungrier of late, and the growing knot in
her belly told her why. Plus, she’d skipped her last two cycles and now she
knew for certain what the cause was. A child. She was going to have a child
with William- but would he be delighted or not? She’d have to tell him soon and
find out.
    After
dressing, she rushed to the kitchen and found a slice of bread, butter and jam
waiting for her as Tabby cleaned up.
    “Good
evening,” the blond woman said with a sly smile. “You were late getting up.
Again.”
    Isabel
spread the butter on her bread and watched it melt. “I overslept.”
    Tabby
laughed, her pretty face mirthful as she shook her head. “I’m sure you did.
Although, I don’t remember seeing you go to your room last night.” Her blonde
hair was tied into a bun at the base of her neck, and the lack of sunlight made
her look as pale as a vampire.
    Isabel took
a bite of her bread and a sip of milk. It did no good to keep the truth from
Tabby- she was too nosy for her own good- but she didn’t want to confirm it for
fear of someone spreading the news. While Isabel didn’t know exactly what the
Vampire Council might do, William was frightened of them. Best not to push it.
    “I can’t
really say,” she said and frowned at her food. She really wanted, more than
anything, to get some advice from the other woman. Tabby was only a few years
older than Isabel, but at least she might know what to do in her situation.
    “Of course
you can’t. Well, I hope he’s going to marry you- whoever the lucky fellow is.”
    Isabel
nodded and finished her breakfast, knowing that would never come to pass.
    William
appeared from his room as she started her first chore of the night, mopping the
great flagstone floor at the entrance of the house. Even with rugs in place the
floor still got far dirtier than any other besides that of the kitchen. He
smiled at her as he passed, his hair neatly combed and tied back. He wore the
brown linen britches and jacket she’d made for him several years ago. If he was
dressed such she knew he had no errands to run that night- at least not errands
that involved other vampires.
    “Is Charles
back yet?”
    “Not that I
know of, but the sun only set an hour ago. He could still be on the road or
otherwise engaged,” she said. Charles rarely seemed to spend the night at home,
although he was usually back by sunrise. Whoever he’d met obviously made it
worth his while to spend the whole day with them. Unless- no. Nothing bad could
have happened to him. That was unthinkable! She’d
