My Lethal Kiss

Mason volunteered to patrol the mansion when it was time to turn in, rather than be in the same room as me. “I’ll probably crash in one of the guest rooms,” he said without looking in my direction. “Just call me if she needs extra pulling. Otherwise I’ll see you guys in the morning.” Without waiting for a response from the two of us, Finn, Ezra, Mariang or Danny, Mason stood abruptly and left the dining room.

“He’s a wee bit frosty,” Von commented as he downed his second nightcap. His arm looped around my waist so I was tucked tight to his side at the dining room table. It was like he was afraid I might run off again if I had an inch of breathing room. He eyed the rest of my burger with unconcealed lust. “You going to finish that, love?” Von asked, his chin on my shoulder.

“I am. You can have my fries, though.”

Finn snorted derisively at us. “Give her some space, Von. I’m suffocating just watching you crowd her.”

“Now, now. Don’t be jealous, Finn. I’ve always got a place on my lap for you.” Von had kept one arm affixed around me through our whole meal. Each time I’d leaned forward to take a drink or pass a dish, he’d scooted my chair an inch closer to his. Now we were practically sharing a seat, the outsides of our thighs glued together. He wolfed down my fries, my pickle, the second helping of steamed carrots I’d only made it halfway through and still eyed my burger with too much interest.

“Oh, fine,” I harrumphed, feeding him the last mouthful of beef. His lips closed around my fingers with a light moan at the sustenance he couldn’t get enough of. When he drew back, he caught my wrist when he noticed a glob of ketchup on my thumb. Without hesitation, he popped my digit in his mouth and laved his tongue around it, sweeping the ketchup away and giving me the guilty shivers.

No, Von hadn’t had germs in a long time. He was bathed in my love, so my OCD hiccups were forgotten all too often around him.

Mariang and Danny watched us with curious glances and an exchange of wary looks that I didn’t have the energy to address. I had to whistle for my supper, which meant Finn and me taking turns regaling the others with our little adventure. I steered us around the battle, making Finn look like the hero, and me the battlefield nurse who only helped on the sidelines. We both left out any mention of our kiss and certainly didn’t look at each other like we had participated in any kind of sensual foot rubbing. In fact, Finn and I tried not to look at each other at all.

When it was time to turn in, Von was reluctant to leave my side even to take a shower, but I insisted it was necessary. “I promise I won’t leave. I can’t.” I held up my black leather bracelet.
