Ritual

Animal blood paints their naked bodies, and sometime during the middle of the night they change back. Jacob rises with blood in his mouth. He remembers when they feasted on lions and helped clean each other.

He looks down at her, and the thought occurs to him that never once is the ritual considered weird between them.

He leans down and licks the dried blood on her face. He stops when she wakes.

"Don't stop," she says, with heady eyes that reassure him. "I won't break from you."

And within her warm kiss he tastes something much better than blood.
