âOkay, no offense, but you should start keeping a case of beer in here if this is gonna be an every other night thing.â Frowning as I closed the refrigerator door, I held a bottle of tequila up as Natasha paused what she was doing to look at me. âIâve never even heard of this brand of tequila.â
âMy sister brought it back from France.â She shrugged, her nose crinkling slightly, and I glanced down at the bottle through narrowed eyes. âI donât really like itâ itâs kinda spicy. If you wanted beer, you shouldâve brought some yourself. I donât drink beer. I prefer white wine.â
âI can tell.â My gaze trailed to the tall, slim wine cooler on the counter, its six racks full of various bottles, but I tried not to judge. âIâll bring a six-pack next time, then.â
Nodding hesitantly, Natasha went back to deveining her shrimp, and I stuck the bottle back in the fridge as my mind churned. What was I even doing here? Sheâd asked me to come over, but why? If she wanted to torture me with her story, itâd be a lot easier to do it through the bug, and she knew I would listen.
It wasnât as if we really talked while we cooked, or when Natasha cooked and I just pretended to know something of what I was supposed to do.

âYour fingers are a lot thinner than mineâ Iâd probably squish the shrimp.â Holding up my palm, I curled my fingers absently, and a small, noiseless scoff escaped me. âI never had to cook. I was too busy learning how to be a good, little tin man.â
Surprise caught my breath when Natasha held her hand over mine, not touching but close enough to prickle against my palm, and my cheek twitched in agitation. Her fingers were so slender, her nails perfectly oval and shiny from shrimp slime, and I could fold them under my first knuckles. Time seemed to stop when I glanced up to find her big, brown eyes on mine, and my gut tightened when she pursed her lips thinly under loosely knit brows.
âYou have big hands.â The murmur caressed up my jaw, and the hairs in my ears bristled even as a shadow passed through her eyes. âNot like them.â
My lip curled up in a slight snarl when Natasha looked down, and needles stuck up my arm in waves when she touched her pointer finger to the middle of my palm. Her
