After her intense night with Nyrielle, Ashlynn was only slightly surprised to wake up in her own bed. Sleeping, she realized, was a very different thing for vampires as opposed to humans. Even in a pitch-black room, walled off from the sun, Nyrielle and her progeny were still weakened and vulnerable during daylight hours.
One day, she hoped they would be close enough that Nyrielle didn't mind if they shared a bed during daylight hours, but she was in no hurry to press for access when she slept just as comfortably in her own bed.
Sitting up, Ashlynn's head swam for a moment and her body felt tired and drained of energy. If it was like the last time, it would be a day or two before she returned to her usual vigor but if the vampire drank more deeply than before it could take even longer.
