The urge to feed her must have been some kind of primal instinct. He couldn’t help it. After the night before, when her day had been so busy with the needs of others and she had forgone feeding herself, he wanted to make sure she ate regularly.

He only wished she would allow him to satisfy her in other ways.

Time, he reminded himself. He might have lived a long life, but she was still young. She had yet to live, had yet to learn from the trials in her life. He would give her that time. He just hoped that he could withstand it.

They ate on the way to the site the GOE agents had picked out. Watching her eat out of his hand had been an oddly arousing situation. Dane had enjoyed watching her lips part at his request and seeing the flush that filled her cheeks while he watched her. He secretly hoped they could try that again in the secret of his home.

After that intimate experience, Liana refused to face him. That was fine. Every step, no matter how slow, was progress. So, he turned back to enjoying his own sandwich. Strips of bacon audibly crunched when he bit into his sandwich and Liana jabbed him with her elbow every time. He only crunched louder for her.

“What did you get?” Dane asked, eyeing the wrapped meal in her hands and the thick layers of meat and cheese.

“Muffuletta, I think it was called.”

Dane reached out without invitation, grabbed her wrist, and pulled the sandwich to his mouth. He forgot how quick she could be. He got a small bite of her sandwich, but she brought her foot down on his instep before dancing away.

He hissed in pain, a sound that turned into soft laughter. His eyes rose to find hers gleaming with the expected challenge. Instead, of trying for another bite, he stood and finished the one he’d taken.

Play smarter, not harder, he thought.

“That’s not bad,” he said.

Liana let her guard down, thinking he was finished, and returned to walk beside him. Once she was comfortable, he snaked one arm around her waist, capturing her free arm in his embrace, and plucked the sandwich from her grip.

“Maybe I’ll take it back,” he said, teasingly.

Her eyes narrowed up at him. Her skin grew uncomfortably warm beneath his touch. Damned red dragons, his beast hissed while Dane stubbornly held on. She was beautiful, even as she burned in his grip. The high arch of her cheekbones begged for the brush of his thumb. Her lower lip was ripe for his taking, even though he it wasn’t time yet.

But, he forgot to account for the empty hand now that he held her sandwich. With a deceptive smile, she brought her fist into his stomach. The punch knocked the air out of his chest for a moment and made the food in his stomach do a queasy flip.

He handed over her sandwich, feeling that she had rightfully won. His mate was a force to be reckoned with, even over matters as small as a sandwich.
