I Don’t Like You, Ariel Kimber
Surprisingly, and something that made me feel incredibly grateful, they were not standing in a line outside the motel waiting for me and gloating gleefully that they were finally getting what they wanted. Everything Adrian wanted from me, I was here to hand over by throwing myself down on my own stupid sword.
If Adrian had been out here to gloat, that would have been too much for me to take and I probably would have turned right around and ran my ass down the dirt road to get as far away from here as quickly as possible. Which wouldn't have been very fast and I probably wouldn't have made it very far.
Liam and Raven got out of the SUV first. Liam came to my door and opened it for me. I allowed this and just barely refrained from rolling my eyes so as not to offend him. I grabbed my bag and stepped down from the SUV. The moment the door closed behind me, Raven reached and plucked the bag right out of my fingers. This I did not bother to protest because I knew it would get me absolutely nowhere and be an utter waste of my time. It was about respect, and the simple fact I had a vagina and magic. I had a feeling that was all it took for a guy like Raven normally, but he kept calling me different and meaning it in a good way, so that might have been all it took for a guy like Raven, but it was also a whole lot more.
No, I certainly did not need to make any more friends, but it felt really good to know that I just might have made one with this man. And even if it hadn't gotten quite that far yet, just the potential that it might one day get there was more than good enough for me. He was good people, I knew that for certain now, and this place could use as many of those as it could get. However, the jury was still out on Liam, and I wasn't quite certain what kind of people he was yet. My guess was on the part asshole kind. Who knew what the rest of him was made up of.
Raven switched hands with my duffle and slung it over his shoulder farthest away from me. His free hand went to the small of my back, his palm flat, and I felt what I usually felt every time one of my guys touched me. Heat. A wonderful, delicious warmth that only a male witch could give off where I was concerned. It wasn't exactly the same, though, because that heat stayed where his hand remained and didn't travel down further to my nether regions and give me a jolt of excitement.
Thank goodness for that.
He put pressure on my back, very gently pushing me forward. I moved forward reluctantly, and to my surprise his hand didn't fall away. Instead he got closer and crowded me, invading my space, making my entire body get tense.
