Xander tightens his arm around my waist and I tease his abs with my fingertips, enjoying the shudder running through his body. At first I think it’s because of me, but then he mutters a curse and I look up at him, rolling my lips when I catch him hiding his eyes behind my head. “Are you scared?” “Nope.” I laugh at him and finish my drink, reaching up to run my nails through the hair at the back of his neck. He’s totally scared.
