Chapter 18

Emerson

Who knew that a big, growly bear of a man would be so gentle and romantic?

He kisses my brains out. Plain and simple. And not in the fast, make-you-want-to-rip-your-clothes-off kind of way either.

No, he takes his time. Small, slow sips, savoring my taste, making me fall hard and fast off the most delirious edge imaginable.

Once my body relaxes into his embrace, I know I don’t just want to be with this man. I know I never want to be without him again.

Mine.

My heart sings it out so loudly that the beats ring in my ears as he slowly releases me to his side.

I barely avoid relinquishing the whimper that lodges in my throat at the sudden lack of connection. Can’t he see what he’s doing to me? How weak and vulnerable I am right now? Is he so oblivious to the puddle of goo he’s just turned me into? After kissing my fucking brains right out of my head, he picks up the container of meatballs, all calm-like, and continues to chomp away at them like nothing just happened.

I’m being cast aside for meatballs. He kisses me stupid and then goes back to meatballs?!

That has to be some record. I don’t think I have ever gone from being nearly in love with someone to so fucking pissed in such a short amount of time. Before I can even consider dialing it back, my magick tingles down my arm, and the meatball inches from Mack’s face pops like a balloon, sending much more sauce than was present, flying in every direction.

Standing up, I pick a random direction and begin to walk. I have no clue where I am going, but I need a moment after all... that. I hear the commotion behind me and hushed words, but I keep walking. How fucking big did I end up making this damn blanket?

“Mind if I join you?” James’s voice is smooth and calming. I don’t say a word, but I don’t pull away when he gently takes my hand. After a moment or two, he chuckles softly, and I can’t help but glance over at him.

“Did you think this is how your first date would go when you signed up for that app?”

Returning the smile, I shake my head a little. “Definitely not. And the weird part of it all is when the four of us were just sharing food together, it all felt so... right. I felt calm and centered. Grounded. That’s baffling, right? I mean, we’re all relatively strangers.”

James doesn’t answer me, but I see him bite his lip from the corner of my eye. Clearly, my thoughts are giving him pause. We continue to walk and the fresh air settles me. Just as I am about to suggest going back to the picnic and finishing this date off for the night, James comes to a stop.

“Do you mind if we try an experiment?” I tilt my head to the side a little as I consider him. He’s incredibly handsome in the classical sense, which makes those delightful piercings even more decadent and naughty.
