Vampires didn't usually dream and it could be debated that they didn't truly sleep. They did go into a deep resting state however, and it was deeper the weaker the vampire was. If Sia was every possessed to go outside and into the sunlight, she would need far more of this sleep to recover. She supposed humans were similar in a way. If they ever got sick or hurt rest was usually the best thing for them, even if they took longer to heal from their injuries.<br/><br/>Sia had woken at about four pm. It was still bright outside, she could tell from the shafts of sunlight that peaked through her curtains and painted the ceiling. How she longed to be able to step into the sunlight once more and feel the glorious rays on her skin, warming her. It was frustrating to be kept in the shadows for so long. She wished she could enjoy the daytime the way the humans did and while she had people working on an antidote for her, it was not progressing the way she had desired.<br/><br/>Elysia closed her eyes, basking in the warmth of Nathan's body instead. She listened to his quiet breathing and the dull, steady beat of his heart until she felt him start to stir. Her eyes flickered open and she watched him start to wake, thinking he was rather beautiful in this relaxed state. He nuzzled close to her then, his nose pressing against her neck and she giggled softly as she felt his morning arousal pressing insistently against her.<br/><br/>"I was awake," she assured him, lifting a hand to brush his hair back from his face. "Were you dreaming about me?" she teased, her fingertips trailing gently down his chest though they did not travel any lower. "I thought you would have been worn out from last night, not rearing to go again." Of course, it wasn't a bad thing that he had so much stamina. She imagined it would come in very useful.<br/><br/>"Come," she breathed, kissing his forehead lightly before untangling herself from him and moving to slip off the bed. "Let us have a shower. Your breakfast will be brought up soon and it's probably best that we're both dressed by then."<br/><br/>Sia paused at her armoire to choose an outfit before making her way into the bathroom. She left the door open for him to follow and turned on the shower. Steam soon rose from the hot water, filling the room. Once it was warmed up enough, Elysia stepped inside and under the spray, letting it wash away all traces of their vigorous activities.
