Mandy smiled, once again satisfied with Kerr`s response. She`d make her job and sleep needs work around his schedule, of this she was sure. Besides, with the way her rotation fell, she only worked three days a week, and that was full time. Twelve hour shifts. That left four days more to catch up on sleep and prepare for evenings spent with Kerr.
She cuddled in at the vampire’s side, resting her head atop his chest – her fingers toying at the fabric of his rumpled top. She drew slow, methodical circles along it, inwardly marveling at how firm the man beneath the martial felt at her touch. It was really such a pity he`d had to leave to purchase foodstuffs for her tonight. She`d rather enjoyed the vision of his naked torso, despite Ben`s name plastered across his skin like a bulletin board.
As they lay side by side, her thoughts drifted toward a variety of ineffectual things; the decision to become kindred lingering ever closer to the surface of these musings. Kerr had never actually tried to breech the matter with her since his return, obviously seeing by her lack of action that Mandy had somehow been deterred, or was perhaps, reconsidering (that, and he had problems of his own to certainly sort out). Fact of the matter was, the longer she stayed with him, like this – the more she wanted it for herself. She veiled these thoughts however, hoping to spare the moment excessive debate or concern. Not that she really need worry anyway...
Kerr was more polite than that. She was sure he wouldn`t delve into her mind without expressed permission first.
Glancing over what Mandy could only assume was a nipple, she continued her tender ministrations with aimless intent, absorbing every moment Kerr permitted her to be at his side before eventually suggesting a time for her to leave.
