Adelaide put her head against his chest. She listened to his heartbeat, closing her eyes. It seemed slow or, at least, slower than a human's should be. His body felt cold, but it was slowly becoming warmer as it absorbed her body heat. She opened her amber eyes and looked up at him. She knew how crazy this was. He was a vampire for goodness sake. A monster who drank blood. Yet, she didn't see him as a monster. No, a monster wouldn't be so kind, wouldn't care about her the way he did. He wasn't a monster, and she wanted to be with him more than anything. She pushed the doubt to the back of her mind and wrapped her arms around his neck.
