I wasn’t in my room. I was in a bed with curtains all the way around it. I looked down at myself. I was naked. The curtains moved to the side and Cornelius smile down at me. I looked at him confused. “What the hell is going on?” I asked nervously. He climbed over me. He was completely naked. My eyes wandered his body. He was a very good looking man like Aubrey. He smiled down at me. “Relax Lillian; this is just a dream. We can have sex in a dream,” he whispered and pressed his lips to mine. I pushed him off me and sat up. “What about Aubrey?” I said worried. If I slept with Cornelius I would lose Aubrey. He was saying it was a dream, but it didn’t feel like one. “Aubrey left you behind. He doesn’t want you. You are no longer human. He doesn’t want a monster,” he whispered as he laid kisses over my shoulder. “That isn’t true,” I whispered trying to hide the sadness in my voice. “I believe he said it to you my dear. I am the only one that wants you now,”
