The Trouble with Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees #1)

by Jennifer Cody

I wash the dishes while Fox continues to stare at me. Little butterflies of excitement wriggle through me at being under his microscope. The dryer buzzes while I’m contemplating how long before I can get my first kiss from him, so I finish my task and pull our laundry out of the machine. Mine will never be wearable again, but since his is black, the stains don’t really show through. Damn. I guess he’s going to cover all his deliciousness again. I fold up his clothes and mine, grab the stack, and nod my head toward the hallway. If he’s going to be putting on clean clothes, he should probably shower off all the leftover blood. Hmmm, I wonder if he needs help washing his back… Fox follows me to the bathroom where I put his clothes on the counter and hand him one of my host’s nice, fluffy towels. I give him a very seductive once over and sigh when he doesn’t invite me to shower with him or at least watch. Fox’s expression doesn’t give much away; he’s a stoic type of man, so I release a longing sigh and leave him in the bathroom alone.
