Page 73 of The Way You Bite
He shrugged and slid a glass of juice across the counter, watching as she drank a few sips. His gaze remained fixed on her lips.
“Maybe this?” He slid a thermos across the counter. “And this?” He handed her a Hershey bar.
She ripped open the outer wrap and bit into the chocolate. Its sweetness flooded her taste buds…oh, sweet heaven. “That’s good.” Two more bites happened before remembering he was watching her. Her face scorched.
He chuckled.
“Thank you.” She nodded at the thermos. “What’s in it?”
“I thought you might be thirsty. It’s not my vintage, but…”
She unscrewed and sniffed. “Type O. How’d you get this?”
“There are ways. Drink.” He crossed his arms.
“You’re ordering me again.” She sniffed. “But I’m thirsty.” She drank until the container was empty and then drained the rest of the juice. “Anything else in there?” She sauntered to the refrigerator under his intense scrutiny. Her heart beat hard enough to jump out of her chest. Sensing him behind her she turned. He put his hands up, caging her against the refrigerator door.
“There’s nothing in there that will take care of your hunger.” His eyes lifted from her mouth.
Her gaze dropped to the pulsating vessel in his neck. She lifted her hands, which were trembling, and placed them against his broad chest. Everything about him was sexy, even the aura of danger that clung to him like a dark shadow.
“I want…” she whispered.
He brushed his lips over hers. She could taste the orange juice she’d just had.
“This doesn’t mean I’ll let you have a drink of what you want before we run.” His fingers slid down her cheek, then slipped over the curve of her neck.
“I didn’t say a drink, although I want that, too. I meant you.”
He nibbled over her jugular vein.
She swallowed and knew he felt the small movement.
Lexan laughed. The sound sent a shiver through her. He bent his head. His mouth replaced his hand on her neck. He kissed her lightly, teasing…suggestive. Her canines ached to taste him. Then she felt the rasp of his tongue against her throat.
Vee’s fingers dug into his shoulders. “This doesn’t mean I’m agreeing to anything longer term. This is about right now only.”
“Step into my world, Vee.” The edge of his teeth scored her skin. “You may never want to leave.”
