Chapter Eight

“I think you’ve been sitting here too long.”

She jumped slightly at the sound of the soft baritone. Glancing up at Kazimir, she smiled.

He held up a wicker basket. “I have brought provisions. Check out what you must, and let us steal away together.”

She looked down at the pile of books she’d been pouring over and groaned. Facts about Blackfoot traditions, sacred spaces, and genealogy swam in her mind. Rubbing her weary eyes, she leaned back. The time during her latest cleanse had done one thing right—it’d opened her mind to new venues, and helped her hone in on her meditation. There wasn’t much else to do when you were given little to no food, not enough water to be fully hydrated, and constantly steamed.

“I really shouldn’t.” Her stomach grumbled. Traitor.

Kazimir smirked. “So resistant to being taken care of. I will continue to blame your less than desirable environment.” He closed the books swiftly, careful to mark each one with a slip of paper. His speed stunned her. She wasn’t in the habit of spending quality time with vampires. If she’d been human, she wouldn’t have been able to track it.

Lifting the heavy tombs with ease, he offered his hand. She took it, still adjusting to his warmth as he helped her stand and steered her toward the checkout desk. This close, she couldn’t resist the opportunity to study him. Casually dressed in a pair of dark denim jeans, a white Henley, and a black jacket with large, silver buttons and shoulders tags, he still commanded attention. Her fingers itched to touch the silken black hair that brushed the nape of his neck. He caught her staring, and she looked away, embarrassed.

“You can look all you want. I am.”

She smiled. He had a way with words.

“You can also touch.”

“You are presumptuous, sir.”

“Merely optimistic, beautiful.”

She chuckled quietly. The gray-haired woman in line turned and smiled at them.

Joss elbow him lightly. “You’re going to get me into trouble.”

“Oh, I intend to.”

Anticipation made her spine tingle. His devilish voice promised adventures she’d never dreamed of. Colors were more vibrant, scents more potent, and life held infinite possibilities. Spending time with Kazimir felt like flying. It was an addictive freedom. Moving closer, she let her side rest against him. The physical touch set a glow inside of her chest. They stepped forward together, in sync.

He took her away from the darkness that threatened to surround her with nothing but a few words and his steady presence. She drew from his strength and courage. There was no use hiding her insecurities and fear when he already knew them. It allowed them to connect on a deeper level. Coasting on autopilot, she checked out her books, while her brain worked overtime.

They stepped out into the sunshine, and he pulled her to the side of the small stone building. “Enough.”

She blinked. “What?”

Bending, he pressed his lips to hers. She moaned, allowing his tongue entrance. Her eyes drifted shut, and she focused on his rich flavor and masculine scent.
