“I’m not interested in food. I want to see Seth.”

“He’s busy.”

“I’m anHeir.”

“Try this,” he says. “It’s a ham and cheese crescent roll kind of thing. Except I cut them really small. So they’re bite sized. Like a snack.”

“I don’t think it’ll taste good with my coffee,” I say.

“You know it’ll taste good,” he says. “But I can get you something else to drink. Water? Whiskey?”

“You walk away and I’m going inside,” I warn.

“Doubt that,” another voice says.

Mattia appears from my right side.

He looks mean.

Ready for a fight.

“Is this a game?” I ask.

“Just have something to eat,” Laz says. “Don’t mind Mattia either. He’s pissed because he didn’t get laid last night. Hey, you could give him one. A freebie.”

“Excuse me?” I ask.

Laz laughs. “I’m just kidding. I don’t think Cullen would approve.”

“I wouldn’t approve,” I say. I look at Mattia. “No offense.”

“I wouldn’t touch you if they paid me,” Mattia says.

“Fuck you,” I growl. “I’d make you come in five seconds. You have no idea what my body can do.”

Mattia’s eyes grow wide.

“Damn,” Laz says. “You’re fired up, Jaci.”

“I am fired up!” I yell.

“Have something to eat,” he says.

I swipe one of his crescent creations off the plate and toss it into my mouth.

I bite down.

“They might be…”

My eyes grow wide.

“It’s hot!” I say in a muffled voice.

Laz looks at Mattia and nods.

Mattia grumbles under his breath and goes into the house.

I wave my hand at my mouth.
