Now, they are lying together on the large, soft bed in the bedroom.
The windows were open, letting in the cool night breeze and the distant sound of crickets.
Rheanne was tucked against Brandon's chest with her head resting on his shoulder and one of her legs draped over his leg.
His arms were wrapped around her, one hand resting gently on the curve of her waist.
Neither of them spoke for a long time.
Rheanne's eyes were still slightly swollen from crying earlier, but she felt calmer in his arms now.
'Kael... I will miss your scent.'
Yet, even in this peaceful moment, a strange, unfamiliar thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.
'If these are truly my last days as a mortal... then I want to feel everything. I want to be close to him in every possible way... before I lose this body.'
Her cheeks warmed slightly at the thought.
She had always been reserved, even with him.
But the fear of losing him made her want to be bolder.
