Nothing happens.

I open my eyes and find Jerif just looking at me. So I stare right back, still puckered up like the weirdo he claimed I was. Our lips aren’t even an inch apart, and I’m frozen in place, waiting to see what he’s going to do.

Should I start talking again? That seemed to kick-start something.

I debate the best plan of action to start getting some action, but decide I don’t want to move. Maybe I spooked him. I quickly decide that maybe I have to treat Jerif like a wild wolf approaching a human for the first time. Any sudden movements or noises and he could run. Just like his baby smile did when I cooed at it.

I really want him to kiss me.

Every time I look at his plush bottom lip, I think about biting down on it. Every time I see the fiery balayage of his hair, I want to sink my fingers through the locks and stroke the flames. We’ve been building up to this moment, constantly charged with sexual aggression, and I don’t want to screw this up. So I stay perfectly still. I don’t even think I’m breathing. But who needs to breathe? I’m a motherfucking Nihil! I’m all immortal and shit now. I probably don’t even need air. Yeah, that’s right. Fuck you, air. I got this.

He tilts his head slightly as he studies me. “What...what’s happening? Did you go into that fucking pause mode of yours?”

My brows draw together in a frown. “Me? What? No! You’re the one who paused,” I say, and then I think, fuck it. He’s not going in for the kill. Time to alpha up and show this beast how to get it done. It’s up to me. But right as I grab the back of his neck and try to pull his face toward mine, someone knocks on the stupid door.

“Come in!” Jerif barks.

“Don’t come in!” I try to bark just as loudly.

Of course, Strut comes in. Judgmental eyes fall on where I’m sitting on the floor as Grumpy Lurch walks over with a covered tray. “Master Rafferty sent this up to help with her...condition.”

He makes it sound like I’m diseased instead of just a little tipsy.

“Thanks, Strut.”

The butler sets the tray down beside us and bows slightly before shooting a look at the bedding beneath my ass, probably irked beyond measure that it’s on the floor, and then leaves the room.

Jerif reaches over, plucking the lid off the tray. For all that fanciness, there’s just a couple bottles of water and four pieces of toast underneath. The lava demon slides it over. “Here. Eat. Drink,” he orders gruffly.

“I don’t want to eat or drink,” I say, my tone going for seductive but landing on belligerent.

“Don’t care.”

My lips pinch together with unhappiness. “I thought you were going to kiss me,” I say with annoyance as I snatch up a piece of toast and start chomping on it.

“I was,” he says as he braces himself on his hands
