Water dripped down my face.
I looked in the direction.
Maxwell stood on the path, holding a hose.
I shot him a murderous glance. “What the hell are you doing?”
“You two were making out.” Maxwell swiveled the hose to Emily and sprayed her. “Get down.”
“Ah!” She jumped off me. “Stop it. Fucking lunatic!”
“I’m not the lunatic. You are!” Max turned the hose off. “Are you both good now?”
Confused, I blinked through the drops of water. “Wait a minute. Why were we doing that?”
“All I know is that Misha called. I answered. Next thing, I turned around and you two were trying to be porn stars in the garden.” Maxwell dropped the hose. “And it went on for at least ten minutes.”
Ten. . .minutes. . .
The hose fell to the ground.
No. Not that long.
I turned to Emily. “How could that be?”
“My head is a little foggy.” Panting, she looked down at herself. Her hair was wet as well as her top. Her stiff nipples poked through the fabric.
I looked around, a dizzying thought crashed over me.
The strawberries. . .
Then, Emily widened her eyes. “Hold up. Was it those strawberries that we ate?”
“Man, you mean to tell me you ate some shit out of this garden?” Max raised his hands in the air. “Why the hell would you do that?”
Yes. It was the fucking berries. How dare she?
A volcanic fury erupted inside my body, shattering my soul with its intensity.
“Where is Delphine?” I swept my gaze across the garden, desperately searching for the conniving witch.
But she was nowhere to be found.
Emily wiped at her wet shirt. “Calm down, Kaz.”
“Calm down?” Every second that passed was a boiling cauldron of spite and wrath that threatened to consume me. “I am going to fucking tear her head off and feed it to those two alligators I saw on the way here!”
I stormed off. “Delphine!!”
Chapter nine
The Eye of the Gator
Emily
Back in Moscow, I would read books about lions to Paolo, hoping to warm him to Kaz.
I had no idea if the kids’ books helped, but I had damn sure learned a lot about lions.
