“It’s yummy. Thanks."

His hand on mine felt so good. I could lean on him. He was there. We walked the short way up to the cabin and entered.

“Do they know where you live?"

“No, I have wards around the cabin. If they’re not invited, they can’t see it."

“Wow, like vampires!"

Matt threw his head back and pushed his hair up with both hands. “There’s no such thing as vampires."

“Yeah, sure, because you don’t turn into a huge wolf at will."

“You make a point, Little Flame.”

“Let me see your eye."

I bent towards him. He sat on the side of the bed. My fingers touched the spot that hurt, but there was only dried blood. Heat floated from me to him. I saw his eyes locked on mine. His green-emerald gaze floated inside me, burning me deeply. My body shivered, and I felt the urge to lean toward him and kiss him.

Matt broke the moment. “I don’t know about you, but I could eat. If you want to take a shower, I’ll cook us something good."

“Yeah, sure."

I felt like a teenager with a crush. As soon as I closed the bathroom door, I leaned against it, exhaling hard. Damn, damn, damn! A cold shower will help me stop obsessing about the way Matt looks. I mean, I turned eighteen today, so I’m fully legal. Looking at myself in the mirror, I tried to imagine what he saw. My long hair, full lips, round breasts.

I can do this.
