Blood Candles
Esme had her domestic hobbies, from maintaining their tidy, pristine home to keeping a nurturing eye over the youngsters in their family.
She greeted her husband as he came home late from work that night, her approach steady as he opened his arms and soaked her into his embrace.
Carlisle sniffed and closed his eyes as a light smile came over his face. Esme almost forgot about the succulent, metallic aroma in the air from one of her recent candle concoctions.
"What's that wonderful smell?" he asked, taking another long, enamored breath.
"Mountain lion," she replied, suddenly sensing his hunger.
