CHAPTER SEVEN

If I could have burned people with my eyes, Salvatore would have third-degree burns on the back of his neck and between his shoulder blades by now.

Maybe ice powers would have been better. I could have turned him into an ice statue.

It should have been fine, really. I was excited to meet him for breakfast and talk about the day ahead of us. It was listed as a picnic day with the option of going to the beach, and then at night it was supposed to be a night on the town. We could go in groups or in pairs, and he’d asked me last night if I would have a night on the town with him. I’d agreed, of course, but he hadn’t said anything about what we would be doing, nor did he want to brainstorm any ideas.

Then he’d kissed me senseless at the threshold of my room and left me there, a steaming puddle of goo.

I had half a mind to slap him for that now, but at the time it had been quite delightful.

Now all I could think about was slapping him.

There were more people at breakfast than normal, mostly because plans had been set for the day and people were anxious to get started with whatever they were doing. They were all chatty and excited, but as I was feeling excited myself, I wasn’t irritated by it.

To his credit, he didn’t pay attention to any of them.

Except Thalia.

She was sitting at a table near the buffet and looked too perfect this morning in denim cutoffs and a wide-necked baggy coral shirt that showed one perfect shoulder and collar bone.

I wasn’t sure that I’d hated anyone more than her in that moment when she had said something to Salvatore, tossing her dark and naturally wavy hair behind her, and he had talked with her for a few moments before smiling at her. The sort of smile that makes people think things. That melts various body parts.

A smile that made someone hope.

And made others extremely jealous.

And then… he winked at her.

I’d had enough. I got up from my table and left to go find something else to do. If he wanted to spend the day with me, he could find me. If he wanted to spend it being the plaything for all the other women in the house, he could do that. It made absolutely no difference to me.
