Chapter: 115

"We�re eating breakfast."

"I want to know."

Dorian set down his coffee mug, impatience tightening his jaw. "Without regular ingestion of human blood, a vampire will lose all trace of his humanity, physical and otherwise. He�ll revert to his natural monstrous state�a pale, mindless, physically-deformed nightmare who exists only to hunt, to fuck, and to feed on whatever helpless creatures cross his path. He retreats to caves and tunnels, as sunlight blisters his skin so horribly, it exposes the muscle and bone beneath. Eventually, over many years, he will decompose, alive and conscious till the bitter end."

The strawberry turned to lead in her stomach, and Charley lowered her eyes.

The awkwardness crept back in between them, a thousand new questions burning through her mind like wildfire. There was so much she wanted to know�about vampires, about his family, about Dorian himself�but every time she opened her mouth to ask another question, her words turned to ash.
