Excerpt
“Leave,” James repeats. The
word sweeps over the boys surrounding me like an icy cold breeze from the
asscrack of Antarctica. He’s really got the serial killer vibe going on. Even I
have to resist the urge to jump up and run for the hills. I don’t blame my
harem for scattering, leaving me sitting exposed and undefended on the counter,
at the mercy of James Reid.
I point at him. “You scared
away my harem.”
“Those guys were looking at
you like you’re a piece of meat.” His tone is thick with disgust.
“Technically I am a piece
of meat. Plus bones and stuff. Also, don’t you think that’s a bit
hypocritical?”
I expect him to scoff at
this, to shrug it off or deny it. Instead he cuts his eyes away from me. “I’m
sorry,” he says finally. “I shouldn’t have jump—”
“Jump-started my car for
me,” I interrupted loudly, fully aware that Sigrid is straining to listen in on
our conversation, even if she is across the room. “You’re right. You should
have just let me take it to the shop. Some things should be done by
professionals.”
A ghost of a smile traces
its way upward from the corners of his lips. It’s the first time I’ve seen him
smile, and damn, is it dangerous. I swallow and look away. “Although—even
though I know that I shouldn’t have let you near my car, and you’re definitely
not coming near it again, you don’t need to apologize. At the time, I really
wanted you to jump-start my car.”
My phone buzzes. I glance
down. A text from Iris. Think of a better euphemism. You’re not being
subtle.
“Did you just say I’m not a
professional?” he asks, leaning one-handed on the counter so that his thumb is
bare inches away from my thigh. He’s close enough to count the goose pimples
that appear on my skin.
“Definitely an amateur,” I
smirk.
His hand inches closer.
“Why don’t you call me next time your car needs some work done and I’ll show
you more of what I’m capable of.”
