Warmth rolled through my body.
His touch felt good. Way too good.
“That’s a bad idea.”
“Please, Love.”
Something about the massive, gorgeous man sayingpleasewas so ridiculously attractive, my lower half clenched.
“Do it,”my wolf urged.
“I can’t.”
“Do it!”she insisted.
“No!”
“DO IT!”
My answer spilled out from me before I could reconsider, or remember why it was a shitty idea. “One drink.”
“Not counting the one you already had.” His hand didn’t slide off my hip until my ass was on the stool again.
“That was water.”
He lifted the glass, inhaling lightly as if to make sure.
I didn’t know why he doubted me, and he didn’t give a reason as he set it back down where he’d found it.
His fingers caught the dollar I’d left on the counter, and he tucked it into the purse that was still hanging over my shoulder. “I’m paying.”
I bit my tongue to stop myself from protesting.
Though the independent woman in me wanted to pay for myself, I really needed to save my money for blood. Hence drinking water in the first place.
“Ohh, he’s gorgeous,”my wolf purred.“You’re so going to fuck him.”
“Seriously, do you have a death wish?”
“Where are you from, Love?” Mad slid my purse off my shoulder and set it on the floor.
“Scale Ridge.” The lie flowed easily. It was the town we drove to for blood.
Typically, I wasn’t a good liar. But I’d had practice with that one.
“How do you like it here? Our mountains are a bit smaller.”
“The small-town feel is nice, despite the size of the city,” I admitted, trying not to let myself look at Mad too much. When I did, he was staring at me.
Shit, his gaze was intense.
And his eyes were definitely still dilated.
“The views aren’t as good,” he said.
“No, but I feel safer here.” The words were true, but notentirelytrue.
Why did it feel safer?
