A vignette featuring Mason and Jessica of Beloved Vampire from the Vampire Queen Series.
Background: Thanks to Lord Mason's love, Jessica overcame unspeakable trauma to remain a part of the vampire world and his servant. Mason is protective, though, and refuses to let her travel with him when he's handling Council business in the highly political and sexual vampire world. Jess knows she can handle it and be the kind of servant he needs. To prove it to him, she comes up with a plan. She's determined to make him take off the gloves and treat her as a full servant at last. But forcing her Master's hand will have consequences--ones equally desirable AND terrifying.
