“Quoi?” Ronan pants barely escaping Xander’s punches.
“Take Daniel with you.” I pause. “From now on, always take him with you.”
I find Astrid in the car park, frowning at her cell phone.
She needs to stop staying in fucking isolated places like these. If someone has half of my power over here, they’ll easily manage to pull some shit like the other time.
“Trouble getting a ride?”
She jerks, wide eyes straying my way before she releases a breath. “You scared me.”
“Then maybe you shouldn’t stand in isolated places like a prey begging to be eaten.”
She lifts her chin. “What you did won’t dictate my life.”
I snatch her wrist and pull her into me. “Stop putting yourself in danger.”
“You’re the worst danger that can happen to me.”
“Worst danger, huh?”
“Duh. Have you seen yourself?”
“Why don’t you tell me, princess?”
She purses her lips for a second too long and I’m tempted to eat her mouth all over again.
Kissing Astrid isn’t a pleasure, it’s slowly becoming a need like air and food.
“You’re like the night,” she finally says.
“The night,” I repeat.
“Uh-huh. And not just any night. You’re like those dark, silent nights where no one knows what will happens.”
“Would you like to know what will happen now?”
Her breath hitches. “Now?”
My hand wraps around her throat, and her pulse quickens under my thumb. “When you’re being this bloody stubborn, I’m tempted to do…”
“To do what?” her voice drops, but her gleaming eyes never leave mine.
I run my tongue over the shell of her ear, loving the shiver that takes over her. “Wicked things, princess.”
“You’re…” She trails off, clearing her throat. “Whatever. Not that it matters. How did you know I had trouble getting a ride?”
“You’re standing on your own at eight in the evening.”
“Dan has a meet out with the team.” She narrows her eyes. “Is it normal that the captain doesn’t attend?”
“They can fend for themselves.”
“That’s not very captain-ey of you.”
“That’s not a word.” I smile. “Besides, I don’t feel like being a captain tonight.”
“What do you feel like being?”
