I wake to the sound of knocking on my door. I throw the covers back and drag myself out of bed. When I open the door Kris is there. "I made breakfast if you'd like some."
"Thank you, I'll be right out." I need to pull myself together. A few minutes of splashing cold water on my face and running a brush through my hair, and I feel slightly more human.
As I step into the kitchen, the rich scent of freshly cooked pancakes greets me. Kris stands by the stove, flipping one with ease. He's shirtless, his jeans hanging low on his hips. His dark hair falls slightly over his eyes, and he glances up at me when I walk into the room.
He has already poured me a cup of coffee, and there's a stack of pancakes with butter and syrup waiting for me on the table.
My gaze drifts to the counter where he had tied me yesterday. My core clenches at the memory of him inside of me and I feel my face flush.
Kris catches me looking at the counter and raises an eyebrow, a devilish grin spreading across his face.
âYou look hungry this morning."
"I am. I'm so glad you made pancakes. I can't think of anything I'd want more right now." I try to match his smartass comment with my own. I sit down at the table across from him and pour syrup on my stack of pancakes. I take a bite, the warm, fluffy pancake melting in my mouth.
"Oh my God, these are amazing," I managed to get out between mouthfuls.
Kris takes a seat, watching me eat. I feel like he's seeing right through me. "I'm glad you like them. It's been a while since I cooked for someone."
"Well, I'm glad to be that someone. You know, I think this is the best breakfast I've had in a long time."
As we finish our pancakes, Kris starts clearing the dishes. "I'm planning to head into town after I get the kitchen cleaned up. I need to get the materials to fix that door to the rental cabin. Would you like to come with me?"
The mention of going into town certainly caught my attention. I've been mostly cooped up here in Kris's cabin, and the idea of exploring Hemlock Hollow and maybe even gathering some information for my podcast is exciting.
"I'd really like that. I'd love the chance to just walk around and talk to the locals. Maybe I'll discover some interesting gossip for my podcast."
"I can guarantee you'll find Hemlock Hollow interesting. It's not your typical small town."
"I can't wait to see it."
