A long time ago, that thought would never have crossed my mind, but I had been on Earth for so long, and around so many supernaturals and humans with their complicated feelings and actions, it was rubbing off on me.
I didn’t like it.
“Pretending to sleep, hm, sweetheart?”
I fixed my seat and looked at Levi. “I know you’ll say no, but I mean it: If you get tired, I can drive.”
“I like driving, sweetheart. It gives me time to think.”
I forced a gasp. “Demons think?”
“Ha-ha-ha.” He spared me a quick glance. “Are all angels this funny?”
He was teasing me, because I knew that hadn’t been funny at all. I heard a soft breathing and looked back. Lacey was turned sideways in the backseat, sleeping with her back to the door.
If only I could sleep like that.
Not even after a fight did I sleep like that.
I folded one leg under me and twisted my body so I was half-turned to Levi. “So, you have a sister.”
He glanced at me again. “I only do small talk if I have something to gain, sweetheart, and what I could want from you, I doubt you’ll give me.”
My brows knotted down. “How do you know if you haven’t asked?”
Levi shook his head. “There’s no reason to complicate things, sweetheart.”
I groaned. “Can we stop with this sweetheart thing at least.”
He flashed me that half grin. “Why, sweetheart?”
I rolled my eyes. “You probably use that on all women who fall into your bed, and hell, I’m not like those women.”
“One, you don’t know the kind of women I take to bed, and two, see, I told you you wouldn’t give it to me.”
I stared at him, my jaw slack. Was it sex he wanted from me? In exchange for small talk, he wanted to sleep with me?
His statement appalled me, but a sliver of pride filled my core. He found me attractive. I mean, I hoped he was the kind of guy to only sleep with women he found attractive, right? Or at least hot enough to bed.
I shook my head, clearing my mind of such thoughts.
“Seriously, stop calling me that,” I said.
“Will you stop calling me Levi?”
“Not a chance.”
“Then get used to it, sweetheart.”
I stared at his perfect profile for a moment. “Why don’t you like us to call you Levi?”
“I don’t do small talk, remember?”
“You’re impossible.”
“I’ve heard worse.” He adjusted his grip on the wheel, barely touching it. “I’ll say this, though: You know Levi bothers me, and that’s why you’re calling me that. It’s the same for me. The more I see it bothers you, the more I’ll do it.” He stared at me for a long time. “Sweetheart?”
I punched his arm. “Pay attention to the road!”
