Jacquelyn didn't know when her body started to relax. Was it when Kael told her to stay still? Did she subconsciously obey? Or was it when his breath fell on the sensitive part of her neck, so refreshing that she wanted to close her eyes and feel him? Or could it have been the moment she heard his soothing voice? Jacquelyn didn't know when it happened, but it did. Now she was calm, her stiff shoulders had relaxed, as had her heartbeat and frazzled mind.
She sat on Kael's lap, his arms wrapped around her waist, and his face resting on her neck. Jacquelyn didn't know why, but she didn't panic, even though Kael could sink his fangs into her skin and take her blood at any moment. In that instant, she trusted him subconsciously and stayed still just for him.
