Damn, I wanted my fangs in his throat.
I ignored those throbbing bitches and tried not to let their points cut into my lip. I’d proved how much damage they could do when I sliced Madd’s that first night, after all.
When he relaxed his hold on me after a minute, he tilted my chin back and lowered his mouth to mine.
The kiss caught me off guard.
It surprised me, but not in a bad way.
Not even a little.
It was just a soft brush of his lips against mine, but it was significant.
It was possessive.
It was telling everyone watching us that yes, we didn’t agree on some things, and were still getting to know each other… but weweremates.
He belonged to me, and I belonged to him.
He squeezed my waist lightly, then released me. “Take your coffee. I want a picture of your lunch. The cash is in your wallet.” Some of his words were a repeat from earlier, but I didn’t mind.
He was taking care of me, and I honestly couldn’t remember anyone else ever doing that.
It was sort of sweet.
So why was I trying to avoid him?
My mind was getting foggy about that.
Still, I needed to stick to my plan.
I walked back into the kitchen, and didn’t say a word when I found Tori and the rest of my coworkers watching a video of Madd—Archer—kissing me, and telling me to take my drink and send a picture of my lunch. Plus, letting me know he’d put cash in my wallet.
I didn’t go check.
That would’ve been letting him win.
And given our conversation earlier, it seemed safe to assume he’d put an assload of money in my bag.
I handed Tori the rest of my coffee as I passed her, and her whole face lit up with excitement. We never had treats like that, with all our money going toward blood.
She groaned when she tasted it, the same way I had.
My phone vibrated in my pocket before I started working again.
Archer
You didn’t send the guy’s schedule
Dammit.
Me
Give me a sec
I pulled it up on my phone—I never looked at the schedule, knowing I worked every day—and scrolled through until I found the kid’s schedule.
Me
