“I can’t eat another bite.” Pandora scoops the very last bit of sauce from her plate and licks it from her fork.
Mrs. Pettyford smiles and takes the plates away, then says, “I made my classic tiramisu.”
“Why would you do that?” Pandora turns to me. “Why would she do that?”
Mrs. Pettyford laughs and returns to the kitchen to fetch the dessert.
“I think she did it because she wants you to stick around.” I shrug. “Just a guess of course.”
Shah’s tail twitches as he sits on the sunny windowsill, his eyes on Pandora.
“So you never have anyone over? Really?” Pandora leans back and pats her stomach.
“No. Other than a few associates.”
“Associates? What does that word even mean? Sounds sinister.”
How does this woman always manage to make me smile? “I just mean someone I do business with.”
“You mean the business where you take things from people?”
I reach out and take her wrist in my palm. Her skin is warm and soft, everything about her an undeniable lure. “I take things to save them from destruction.”
“Every time?” She licks her lips. “Are you saying you’ve never taken something just because you wanted it for yourself?”
I tighten my grip on her wrist, my eyes locked on those lips of hers, the ones that tempt me to do rash things on this dinner table. “There’s a first time for everything.”
She makes a feminine sound, as if whatever thought she just had pleased her greatly. I want to hear it again, and I always want to be the one that creates that feeling in her.
Leaning over the table, I take her lips, gently this time. She smiles against me, then answers, her mouth opening, our tongues dancing as I finally get another taste of the one who sets my soul on fire. She melts for me, her hands running to my biceps as I cup her face, making her mine again and again with each breath we share.
“Now.” I pull back only an inch. No more. “Tell me about this other man.” I’ve been keeping the jealous beast in my breast caged, but he wants out, and I’ll damn well let him run wild once Pandora gives me a target.
“It’s not a man.” Her breathy voice brings both relief and a surprise.
“Not a man? You’re into women, too?”
She shakes her head. “No. It’s not like that. Not um.” Her gaze darts to my lips. “Not like this.”
The vise around my heart loosens, but not completely. The only claim I want on her is my own. Who else could have any power over her?
“Tell me who it is and what it is, and I’ll take care of it.” I stroke her cheek.
“It’s not something you can take care of.”
“Try me.”
“No.” The steel in her voice both frustrates and excites me. “This is my burden. I have to handle it alone.”
“Why handle it alone when I’m more than happy to help?” I ghost my lips across hers once, twice.
Her eyelids flutter. “Because it’s my destiny.”
Destiny is a big word,
