Author's note: this is from Calista's point of view
…
I was planning to leave before Sergio returned, but I was caught red-handed.
Was it because I took too long to pack my clothes? Or because my hands were shaking? Or was I actually moving slowly in the hope that Sergio would show up and convince me to stay?
The energy blast at the end of the ceremony passed through me, leaving my whole body buzzing, like I had drank a liter of strong coffee. I understood why wolves would go for a run after these ceremonies, but I am not the kind to frolic through the forest.
Vampires release extra energy in different ways, which was another proof that Sergio and I are like oil and water. We had nothing in common other than sex. Mind-blowing, all-night screaming-in-ecstasy sex.
