Eighteen

As we headed back to our table, Gray and Blue were having some kind of heated discussion. I was so desperate to know what they were discussing that I would have traded my library card for the ability to have amazing werewolf hearing. What were they talking about so fiercely?

We didn’t even have the chance to eavesdrop a little since Gray turned his attention to us before we announced our return. He stood and held my chair out for me. Being the reasonable person I was, I accepted, knowing full well that trying to win this small battle would go as well as last time.

Still, I might have been petty by refusing to acknowledge him or that low thrum of awareness that kept me on edge around him.

Instead, I focused on the table. My water glass was filled, and there was a small salad with green leaves that I’d never seen before. I picked up my fork, ignoring the fact that I could sense Gray’s unwavering attention. I speared a cherry tomato and a thin green leaf before pausing half-way to my mouth. I lowered my fork slightly. Liz was eating her salad, but Blue and Gray weren’t. They didn’t have salads. I narrowed my eyes. Why didn’t they have salads?

“Something wrong with your salad?” Gray asked, startling me.

“Is there?” I asked back, lowering my fork back to the plate. Did they do something to our salads while we were gone?

A low growl escaped his throat as he reached forward and grabbed my fork before I could grasp what he was doing. He ate what was on the fork and handed it back to me while I just watched in disbelief. “Nobody did anything to your salad.”

I stared at him and then my fork, saying the first thing that came to mind, “You just got your slobber on my fork.”

He handed me a new fork without missing a beat while Liz choked a bit. “Relax, Jane. This really is a new start between us. No tricks. I’ll even check all your food if you want.”

“I’m not worried about the restaurant doing anything to my food,” I muttered while going ahead and nibbling at my salad. Gray frowned, and a surprising bit of guilt niggled at me. I brushed away the uncomfortable feeling and asked, “Why don’t you and Blue have salads?”

“Werewolves don’t eat plants,” he informed me with a slight shudder.

“You just ate my cherry tomato,” I pointed out dryly.

“You didn’t look like you trusted it. I wanted to show you it was safe.”

“Even though you didn’t like it?” I asked with suspicion. He was totally pulling my chain. Right?

“As long as you feel comfortable, I don’t have to like it,” he said softly, his expression earnest. Those piercing eyes were entirely focused on me. It was like he was searching for something, and only I had the answer. That was ridiculous though, because right now, I was feeling lost with absolutely no answers.

I swallowed hard, doing my best to ignore that weird and unwelcome feeling of warmth taking root in my belly.
