“Absolutely not. Most have their own lives, and we stay connected through a network that Doreen is in charge of. However, me being who I am, when I travel, there’s usually a few who stay close such as Bethany,” Bennett said, gesturing toward where the woman was sitting. “She’s always kept abreast of when I’ll be flying so she can be on hand if needed. She had no way of knowing, though, that we emptied that little fridge of mine this morning, but better too much than too little when we travel. Don’t you think?”

“Yeah.”

Lisa had heard all of what Bennett had said, yet she hadn’t been able to take her eyes off the flask since inhaling the scent of what it contained. She licked her lips as she brought the flask to her mouth, and within seconds, she had drained it. Lisa kept her eyes closed for a moment, allowing the rush to flow through her body before she opened her eyes and capped the flask. “Do you ever get used to it? How quickly you can go from feeling fine to feeling ravenous?”

“We’re beasts,” Bennett said, leaning closer. “And no matter how refined we become, how important, how wealthy, or how intelligent, we will always be slaves to that,” Bennett said, pointing to the flask. “Eventually, you’ll be able to control it a little better, but you have to remember, as life spans go, Lisa, you’re still quite the babe in this world.”

Lisa smirked. “A babe—huh?”

Bennett's gaze turned smoldering, and ever so slowly, her eyes were drawn to the open collar of Lisa’s blouse. “Yes, you are most certainly that.”

They became lost in each other for over a minute. Entranced and in love, they were setting off for an adventure to end all adventures for theirs would go on for centuries.

Bennett threaded her fingers through Lisa’s. “So…care to join me in the loo to the right?”

Lisa flashed her most dazzling smile. “I thought you’d never ask.”
