Chapter 35: The First Business Trip

Liliana's POV

The beginning days of their marriage were filled with an unending desire to be in each other's presence. Daily, Liliana grew bolder with her sexual prowess. After their wedding night, it became apparent that Darick enjoyed watching her sexual adroitness bloom and grow.

"I love that your mother figured all this out about the tapestries. Without them, we would be in deep trouble. I'm not sure I could have resisted biting you too much longer."

Wincing slightly, she turned away from Darick's scrutinous stare. What her husband didn't know yet is the tapestries were by no means why Liliana was safe during lovemaking. Instead, the vials of blood she drank as a child were where her real power was being distilled. Its potency slowly emerging and growing stronger daily.

In the weeks before the wedding, Liliana soaked in all the information contained in her mother's journals. There were detailed lists of dates, times, and amounts of the blood ingested.
