Chapter Seven

The smell of coffee permeated the air. Still, the temptation to bury her head farther into her pillow enticed her, but that delicious scent, and an underlying sound her brain refused to identify, forced her to open an eye to check what was happening.

Charles hovered nearby, using the room’s little coffeepot to make a black liquid of questionable quality. His hair was pleasantly mussed, and the noise her sleep-deprived brain had refused to identify was coming from him—he was humming.

“I can tell you’re awake, missy. Maybe you should get up and text your sister before they catch us for real.”

She grinned and stretched, her body pleasantly sore. What a night. She could still feel his hands and mouth on her skin. Feel the way he brought out something in her that she’d never before experienced. She’d let go in a way she never had before. With anything. Before it could bring down her happy morning high, she shoved away the sobering thought.

“Morning,” she murmured, voice slightly rough. The screaming. Wow. What if people in the neighboring rooms had heard?

“What are you thinking about?” He raised an eyebrow at her and set a cup of coffee on the nightstand next to her. “I’m going to guess last night by your unusually red cheeks.” He bent and kissed her lips gently. “You okay?”

“I’m wonderful.” And that was the unadulterated truth. Decades of experience had served him well in the bedroom. A sudden spark of jealousy ignited in her chest at the thought, but she mentally shook off the paranoia. She wasn’t going to poison this—whatever this was—by giving in to silly, unfair emotions. Besides, it would be hypocritical to have enjoyed it so much the night before, only to condemn it in the light of day. Not like she could expect the who-knew-how-old vampire to be a virgin.

“How old are you?” she blurted out before she could think better of it.

He didn’t hesitate. “One hundred and two.”

“You look good for your age.”

“So do you,” he teased.

“How do you remember so easily without thinking about it? My mom takes at least ten seconds to answer that and she’s way younger than you are.” Now that was a disturbing thought. “You know what? Let’s both pretend I never said that.”

Something that sounded suspiciously like a snort escaped him. “Done.”

Bracing on one elbow, she reached for the coffee then took a long, slow drink. Not the worst coffee she’d had in her life. Some of the fuzziness in her mind faded enough so she could think more clearly. What was it he’d said? Oh, yeah—her sister. She set the coffee back down and reached for her cell phone.

“It’s eight already?”

“Yes. Although I don’t think you got more than a few hours of sleep. I think you should text your sister and get some more rest.”

“Sleep is overrated,” she murmured, scrolling through two text messages her sister had already sent. Rachel was only ten minutes late in meeting her, but Kristen was no doubt worried since she thought Charles had dumped her only the day before.
