“I know. You can’t say no to me. No one can; it’s part of my charm.”
He huffed and gave me the finger, but his heart clearly wasn’t in it, and I didn’t care.
I was going to see my ginger snap, and even if it was only for a few minutes, it was going to beso fucking worth it.
Naomi came back to Fairview with me after ice cream. We were spending time with my mother in the kitchen when my phone buzzed, and I nearly leapt out of my chair to check it.
Naomi smirked at me and exchanged a look with Iris, who gave her a knowing smile.
“He’s been missing his dark angel,” she explained, and Naomi’s eyes flashed.
“I’ve noticed,” she snickered, and I gave them both one of my signature grumpy scowls.
Ignoring them, I checked my phone, and my heart fuckingsoaredwhen I saw that the message was, in fact, from Cal.
Cal Sex God Walker:
Ginger snaaaaapppp! Come outside, baby. Be quick. I don’t have long.
Doing my best to control the sudden aching need to literallyrunto my psycho, I grunted a quick ‘I’ll be right back’and stalked out of the room as fast as I could.
As soon as I was out of the kitchen, my clipped walk turned into a shameless jog, and I burst out the front door to find Cal leaning against the hood of his G wagon with a giant smile on his face.
My own face broke out into a massive grin at the sight of him until I realized he wasn’t alone. Standing uncomfortably close to him was a fuckinggorgeousman smoking a cigarette. He had bleached white hair and beautiful skin that was just as bronzed as Cal’s, and he was wearing all-black, worn-out clothes.
They looked like a fucking couple, with their matching punk aesthetics, and something that felt a lot likejealousyripped through me.
I glanced down at my grey T-shirt and relaxed-fit blue jeans, suddenly feeling out of place and stupid standing in front of the two of them.
Is this who Cal had been spending the last four days with?
The smile dropped off my face, and my pace significantly slowed as I adjusted to the presence of this new, intimidating man.
He was staring at me with amusement dancing in his silver eyes, and I stared right back, unable to keep the glare off my face.
Cal pushed up off the hood of the car and walked toward me. I tore my gaze away from the random dude he had shown up with and turned to face him.
My mouth went dry as I took him in. Even though I had so many questions about this strange man and what they had been doing together for the past four days, the sight of Cal’s gorgeous smile had me weak at the knees.
God, I fucking missed him.
He moved like he was going to touch my face or pull me in for a kiss, but he stopped himself, and I scowled.
Did he not want to kiss me in front of his butt whore?
Fuck that!
I slid my hand possessively around the back of his neck and pulled him into me, slamming my mouth against his. Cal let out a surprised‘mmph!’but smiled against my lips as he wrapped his arms around me, zipping our bodies together.
Cal’s eyes closed as he kissed me, but I kept mine open so I could glare at the silver-haired vampire over his shoulder, making sure he knew that Cal was fuckingmine.
The vampire’s eyes crinkled in amusement, and he took another lazy drag from his cigarette while he watched me bite and suck at Cal’s lips.
After a few moments of excessive PDA, Cal finally pulled away, laughing. He rubbed his thumbs over my hips and grinned down at me.
“Wow. I’m going to have to leave you alone more often if every time I come back you’re going to greet me likethat,”he beamed.
I glowered at him.
