Every time Ember looked at Donovan, she caught him staring at her.
It had been a few hours since he had finally professed his love for her and just thinking about that moment made Ember's heart soar, but she was still so confused at what had caused his sudden confession.
She knew that it had to have something to do with Donovan drinking from her and wondered if when he was able to drink he got some of his humanity back. That would make sense because the inverse was when he went without blood, he turned into a feral monster.
While his sudden affection was catching her off guard, Ember wasn't complaining. They had spent nearly an hour holding one another after their last tryst in the bedroom, and watching Donovan be so tender was fascinating.
They were currently sitting across from one another in the receiving hall. While Ember was sipping a cup of tea, Donovan was watching her curiously.
