Damn him.
My wolf made a noise of satisfaction. “He’s good.”
“He’s the worst.”
She snorted.
We both knew I was lying.
He wasn’t the worst.
I was sad that he’d kept the truth from me, and terrified about what the future held, but I’d been through too much shit to believe he was terrible.
I could’ve done so much worse.
If I’d ended up fated to any of the vampires in the clan that made me, my life would’ve been literal hell.
So, just the fact that he cared about protecting me and keeping me from harm made him much better than he could’ve been.
He took the croissant I’d already bitten into instead of the one in my hand, then set a box of takeout food on my lap. “I’ll make dinner again tonight. We’re meeting Ox for drinks.”
Shit, I’d forgotten.
Why had my stubborn streak kicked in like that? Despite my anger, I didn’t want to go out with the other guy. I’d only called Madd to figure out whether or not he was telling the truth about my freedom.
“What do you mean, we? It’s a date,” I said.
“I’m aware.” Beck didn’t look nearly as annoyed about it as he should’ve been, which made me suspicious. He bit into his croissant, and nodded. “These are good.”
“You’ve never had one of Love’s croissants before? She’s obsessed with them.”
“No.”
“Well, you’ve been missing out.” I took a bite of my own before I opened the box of takeout food. My mouth immediately watered at the sight of it.
Maybe I didn’t like croissants as much as I’d been trying to convince myself I did.
I abandoned the bread and grabbed my burger, not wasting a minute before I took a bite. My groan filled the room, and all thoughts of my date that night vanished while I inhaled the food.
When I finished the burger and moved on to the fries, I finally looked up.
Beck’s gaze was fixed on me, hot and heavy.
I paused, my fry only an inch from my parted lips.
He was staring at me.
How long had he been staring at me?
I glanced at his hand and found his croissant only half gone. He hadn’t opened his burger.
And his erection raged against the front of his sweats, thick and hard and absolutely impossible not to see.
My body flushed.
I forced my hand to put the fry in my mouth.
I was immune to his attractiveness. Absolutely, completely immune.
