I could feel that from a million miles away.
“Devil.”
Calista tilts her head, regarding me eerily similar to the way Ronan did. Her eyes skitter across my face, their vibrant colour dimmer than usual.
“I don’t recall sending you an invitation.”
“Didn’t think I needed one.”
Her lips quirk into a smile, a small smile that has my stomach tightening unexpectedly.
She looks tired.
Whatever fire lives inside of Calista Drache must have clocked out for the night because the woman in front of me looks emptier than I remember.
“What are you doing here?”
“I have no fucking idea.”
The truth slips from my lips.
“I was having dinner with your mother and...” I swallow, feeling the words cling to my throat, “I decided climbing a four-story building was the perfect way to end the night.”
She lifts a brow, “Thought you’d get a kiss for your efforts, did you?”
“I mean, Ididalmost die making it up here so...”
I trail off, listening to the laughter explode from her chest. Harsh and unforgiving, it rebounds off every reflective surface and crashes into me.
Knocks me right off my feet until all I can do is stare.
Stare and fucking marvel at the woman in front of me.
Life creeps back into her eyes, and just like that, Calista outshines every star in the night sky. She’s a blessing after a long night of torturous conversation, and I’m more than ready to drink from her holy grail.
“Are you asking me forsexual favours, Devil?”
“No.”
My lips split into a grin, a stupid fucking grin because Calista Drache has her eyes on me.
“I’m offering to repay a favour.”
Elvis starts singing about rocking a jailhouse while I’m waiting to be released from my own.
“And which favour would that be?”
She licks her lips, watching me track every stroke of her tongue.
“The one from White Castle.”
“You’re going to have to be more specific.” Her eyes fucking gleam as they dance across my ripped dress shirt, “I find it so hard to keep track of little details.”
Little details, my ass.
“The one where you went down on me, darling. Sucked my cock so dry I get hard every time you put something in your mouth.” My brow lifts, “Was that specific enough for you?”
“Now that you mention it, Idoremember something similar.”
