I lean forward slowly.

I need to savour this. This is my last chance to taste it; to taste her.

I breathe her in, starting at her wrist and trailing my nose along the inside skin of her arm. When I reach her sleeve lying against her bicep, I have to stop myself from ripping it off her body.

The blood is in my sight. I inch towards it. It's dry now, but I bet it still tastes good. I lick my lips in anticipation.

It's mine.

A growl erupts from my chest. I'm not sure why. There's no threat here.

I reach the smear just below my bite mark and lick.

So good.

I can taste her delicious scent, but it's marred by the morphine.

Shit! The morphine!

How could I be so stupid?
