“Tell Jack that if I have to come in there, he’s going to get one of those skillets cracked over his skull,” Damian said coldly, his eyes never leaving her face.
“Awesome, dude.”
As soon as Kai returned to the kitchen, Damian was back, but she quickly put her hand on his chest. The bare skin of his very nicely muscled chest, exposed by another one of his extravagant shirts.Don’t get distracted, she told herself, looking up at him.
“Wait a minute. What are you doing?”
A devastatingly attractive smile twisted his lips.
“If you can’t tell, kitten, then I’m doing something very wrong.”
“I mean, why are you doing it?”
“Because you are the sweetest woman I’ve ever tasted.” His thumb stroked seductively across her lower lip. “Sweet and ripe and delicious.”
“You sound like you’re describing a piece of fruit,” she said breathlessly.
“Hmm. A peach perhaps.” He bent his head, and this time his tongue feathered across her lips. “Definitely a peach. I bet you even have pretty little peach-colored nipples topping these delicious breasts.”
His thumb dipped lower, sweeping across those taut little peaks, and she squeaked. It was more from shock than objection, but he stopped, drawing back far enough to look down at her face.
“You’re not scared of me.”
It wasn’t a question, but she shook her head anyway. Excited, intrigued—and occasionally annoyed—but not frightened.
“You should be.” He smiled again, and this time she caught the flash of his fangs. “Sweet little peaches just beg to be devoured.”
Her heart skipped a beat, but it was mostly from excitement.Mostly.
“Do you mean you want to…”
Not quite ready to say it aloud, she waved her hand helplessly.
“Devour you? Oh, yes. In every way possible. I want to feast on your mouth and drink your blood and lick all the juice from your sweet little cunt.”
She squeaked again. No one had ever said anything like that to her before. She should have been outraged, but her body clearly liked the blunt words, already quivering with anticipation.
Then he moved away again and Kai was back.
“Nereus wants to know if you found the rosemary. It’s not in the hallway,” he added helpfully, and this time he looked curiously from her face to Damian’s. “Something wrong?”
“N-no. We were just talking about the menu. I’ll get the rosemary now.”
She turned and fled without looking at Damian, closing the porch door behind her and pressing her hands to her hot cheeks. What was wrong with her? She never allowed a man to move this fast, especially when she knew she’d be leaving in a few days.
Maybe it’s some kind of vampire magic, she thought as she cut the rosemary. Was that even possible? She really needed to find out. Maybe Flora would know. Resolving to ask her as soon as she returned to the inn, she went back to the kitchen.
Jack was ignoring all of them, but she could handle being ignored. It was being yelled at that she couldn’t stand. By the time everything was ready, the doors were about to open. Shelly came in and gave her a friendly smile before snagging one of the quick rolls.
“Oh my God, this is delicious. You should do all our baking.”
Jack muttered something derogatory that she chose to ignore as she thanked Shelly.
“I had fun doing it, but I’m sure your regular baker does just fine.”
“Not this fine.” Shelly popped the last bite in her mouth with an ecstatic expression. “Amazing.”
Wendy thanked her again, then quickly slipped out of the kitchen. She half-hoped, half-dreaded seeing Damian in the hall, but a strange woman was standing at the host stand instead.
