The coppery tang of blood wafted through her nose. She wanted to drink it! She was losing control and started to get up from her place to chase the servant.
Dmitri was aghast at her reaction to the cut on the servant's hand. He shouted at her through their mental bond. "Adri!"
Adrianna's reverie broke and she gasped. Her gaze flitted between Dmitri and Cora and she felt ashamed of her actions. She bit her lip and lied back on bed.
Cora left the room saying that she would get something else prepared. Dmitri came and sat next to her. Adrianna was looking at the ceiling, at the lights emitting from the chandelier. He picked her hand and said, "What was that Adri…?"
"I don't know," she replied unsure of what just happened. "I think it was just a passing thought."
Dmitri narrowed his eyes at her but she avoided his questions in the gaze.
