It made her wonder just how bad his situation had been before he'd come to her. Clearly, he had no room of his own. It was always a shock to her to learn how others struggled every day while she lived in luxurious abundance. She had never wanted for anything as a human or a vampire but others were not so fortunate. At least she could give a little back to those that worked for her. She was always generous with their salaries and no member of staff had ever quit unceremoniously.<br/><br/>Nathan had been surprised at the size of his living quarters but that was less of a surprise to Elysia. Her home was large and spacious and she was proud of it. She had been here for almost all of her vampiric life. The human looked a little overwhelmed but he thanked her and she giggled as he called her Mistress. Oh yes, that was something she could certainly get used to. Desire sliced through her, for more than just his blood, but she took her leave as promised.<br/><br/>It was some time later when Sia heard a quiet rapping on her door. Of course, she'd heard Nathan's heart beat before he'd fully approached her room but it was good manners to knock and she was glad that he'd remembered. She rose from where she was sitting in front of her dressing table, and crossed to the door so that she could open it for him. She wore a black silk dressing gown that fell to her knees. It was untied, revealing the red lace lingerie she wore beneath it. She had planned to study Nathan's expression when he saw her in it, but found her own eyes were drawn distractingly downwards once she caught sight of him. His hair was damp from his bath and water ran in rivulets down his toned chest and stomach. Elysia followed their journey with her eyes, catching her bottom lip between her teeth.<br/><br/>"You didn't dry your hair," she commented mildly, drawing her attention back to his face once she'd drank him in with her eyes long enough. She stepped aside and pushed the door open wider to allow him access to her room. It was similar to his own suite but the dividing wall between the study and the bedroom had been taken away to create one large room.<br/><br/>"Come, I'll dry it for you." Although she was enjoying the sight of him wet and half naked as he was, she didn't want him to get sick. It made the feeding process so much less enjoyable when the human was unwell and the blood didn't taste quit the same. Sia took Nathan's hand, enjoying the warmth of his skin against her own, and lead him over to the bed. She pushed him back gently until he was sitting before disappearing into the bathroom to fetch a towel.<br/><br/>"How was your meal? I hope everything was to your taste. I hear I have a very talented cook. It's a shame I can't enjoy her food, really," Elysia murmured as she crossed to the bed. She climbed on top of it and moved behind him so that she could gently rub the towel over his hair. The water had begun to dry on his warm skin, much to her disappointment, but he smelled absolutely mouthwatering. Sia couldn't help but drop her nose to the curve between his shoulder and neck and inhale his wonderful aroma. Her throat burned it's protestation and she lifted her head again before she was tempted to bite.<br/><br/>"Do you have any concerns or questions before we begin, Nathan?" she asked, running her fingers gently through his hair now that it was less damp. She was eager to hurry this along and finally feed from him. It felt like such a long time since she'd last had anything to drink and she was growing more and more impatient.
