I stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, brushing out my wet hair. Holland sat at the dining room table, leaning over a sketchbook. Next to him, there was a mug of thick red liquid I tried not to look too hard at. Across from him, though, a cup of coffee and a croissant sat waiting for me.
The warmth in my heart was startling. I straightened, watching him for a moment and resisting the urge to gather my things and bolt. This felt safe. This felt like home. That was ridiculous - I hardly knew him.
I swallowed my bewilderment and crossed the room, tracing my hand up Hollandâs back and leaning forward to kiss his cheek. He hummed into my touch, closing his sketchbook before I could see it, leaning back to smile at me.
âSleep well?â He murmured. Iâd left him in bed to shower, thinking he was sound asleep. I supposed I couldnât sneak around a vampireâs apartment.
âExceptionally,â I said, kissing his cheek again. I moved to kiss him on the mouth, shocked when he paused, tilting his head back slightly. I blinked. Holland reached back to tap his mug. He was drinking blood, which meant he tasted like it too. I kissed his cheek harder this time and basked in the sound of his cheerful hum.
I sat down across from him, pulling my phone from my purse hanging on the chair. There was a text from Willa a few minutes ago.
Are you staying with Holland today?
My fingers hovered over the keyboard as I glanced up at the vampire across from me. Heâd opened the sketchbook again, his brow furrowed in concentration. I watched him for a moment. Despite the fire alarms in my mind, I leaned into the warm feeling of sitting in his apartment with him.
I didnât come to Paris to fall in love.
So why did I feel like one wrong move and Iâd fall hard?
âWhat are you brooding about?â Holland asked, not glancing up.
I almost asked him to take me back to the hotel. Almost. Instead, I took a sip of my coffee. âWhat do you want to do today?â I asked.
Now, his eyes melted like honey. He closed the book, sitting back in his chair. âAnything in Paris you havenât seen yet? Or I can throw you into my bed and never let you leave.â
I blushed crimson. Hollandâs eyes darkened and he sat back, lifting his mug to take a long drink. The red stained his lips. I watched him lick it away.
A vampire.
Holland was a vampire.
And I wanted to fall into his bed over and over again.
I opened my mouth to answer him when my phone rang. It was Indy.
I straightened before answering her FaceTime, trying to position it so she couldnât see much of the background to realize I was in someoneâs apartment instead of my hotel room.
âI wanted to call and apologize,â Indy said. She sat on her couch with a long groan. Her hair was in a messy knot on top of her head and her makeup was smudged under her eyes.
