She looked at my hand, then popped the candyinto her mouth and chewed. Slowly.
“No hurry,”I added.
Her eyes narrowed like she thought I was being sarcastic, but I meant it.
She was reclined on the cushions in a black-and-silver pleated skirt that exposed a length of smooth, tan thigh. A red satin bustier hugged her small, perfect breasts, and her braid fell forward over one shoulder in a shiny espresso rope.
She could’ve been posing for an erotic painting.Woman EatingChocolate.
Just looking at her made my dick stir.
She finally dropped the book on the table and came to her feet.
“Thanks for thechocolate,”she said, arms crossed over the bustier like expressing gratitude was painful, but something she felt she had to do.“And the books. I’ve missed reading.”
I shrugged, but inside I was pleased she’d enjoyed my gifts.“I figured you needed something to do.”
Actually, she’d been a busy woman that day. I’d reviewed the security footage of her with Cain, and she’d covered a lot of ground, visiting the village and surveying a good amount of the castle.
The scene in theballroom—partdance,partmartial arts—had been like watching my own private dancer. I’d found myself picturing all the ways that strong, supple body of hers could move for me.
The bit at the end had been puzzling, as if she’d spotted someone else in theballroomwith her, but if so, they hadn’t shown up on thevideofeed. Cain had promised to dig deeper, but it wasn’t difficult for asyndicatemember to avoid thecams, especiallyaboveground, where they served mainly as backup for the wolfdogs patrolling the grounds.
After all, no one could approach the island without us knowing. Even a vampire concealed in the shadows had to arrive by some kind of vehicle. The onlyabovegroundcamswere at entrances and in a few public rooms like the ballroom—and everyone in thesyndicateknew that.
“Well, thanks.” She looked me up and down. “So. I suppose you’re here for another round? My lord.” Her lip curled.
Hell, yeah.
I prowledcloser, stopping a foot away from her. Inhaling her clean feminine scent.
A tiny shiverranover her body, butbeingTwilight, she squared her shoulders and glowered back.
I fingered her silky rope of hair, letting the backs of my fingers brush her nipple. It hardened beneath the red bustier.
“I wouldn’t say no to another round—”I wound the braid around my palm and tugged, forcing her to stepcloser—“but that’s not why I’m here.”
“No?”Her throat worked. Her gaze went to mymouth.“Then why?”Her tone thickened.
“You’ll see.”
With my free hand, I rubbed mythumbover a smear ofchocolateat the corner of her mouth and held it to herlips. She raised her eyes to mine and sucked my thumb inside.
Hermouthwas hot…wet. I could almost feel it closing around my dick.
“Mm.”Her lids lowered.“My favorite kind ofchocolate.”
“I know.”
“You knew? How—?”She shook her head.“Never mind.”
I bent my head and licked the seam of hermouth, taking the chocolate’s sweet, dark flavor onto my tongue.
“I’m here for a reason,” I murmured.
“Yeah?”Her throat worked.
“Um-hm.” I nibbled her soft lower lip. “I have something I want to show you.”
