Kindle Notes & Highlights
Maybe that was weird, maybe a little childish, but there was a part of me that really liked the fact that he was interested in me. Then again, I remembered hearing once that another person’s interest was the greatest aphrodisiac.
Ultimately, I decided to take some time for myself in the library. I loved the library. It was totally Beauty and the Beast. There was a big fireplace and shelves upon shelves of all kinds of books. And when I couldn’t figure out what was going on in my own life, I liked to turn to the literary world.
There was something comforting about re-reading a story, as if you were having a conversation with a friend.
“We are the Sons of Vlad, created in the mirror of his image,” Zane said as if that made perfect sense. “Dmitri is the aspect of the beast.”
“For which part?” I asked. “For the wild make-out session? For you eyeballing my throat like it was a tasty, tasty treat? Or for running away from me and leaving me with a throbbing case of blue-ovaries?”
“I will never make you do something you do not wish to do. I will only use that power on you to keep you from harm, as long as you, little necromancer, promise the same.”
“Somniamancy, or the magic of dreams, is split into several schools of magic. The first is dream walking, or the ability to insert oneself into the dreams of others in order to manipulate them or discern something about the target.
“A dreamscape is another dimension, accessible only by the unconscious mind. A dreamscape is created by a somniamancer, and is, in its own way, as real as the world we live in. The scape itself is malleable, as most dreams are, but the pain inflicted in these dreams is real, up to and including death. To die in a dreamscape is to be cut from one’s corporeal body and thus die here in the terra realm.
“Somniamancers are rare, and their gifts can be used for either good or ill. When used for good, the somniamancer can help a person suffering from trauma or insomnia get a good night’s sleep and work through their difficulties.
“Okay, if there is no chance of me getting you out of those pants, you are going to have to chill out with the dirty jokes. Pervy puns are the best way to get me naked.”
