Lucien kept rubbing at his temples as he ate, unusually silent, and I hid my smile as I asked him, And where were you last night?Luciens metal eye narrowed on me. Ill have you know that while you two were dancing with the spirits, I was stuck on border patrol. Tamlin gave a pointed cough, and Lucien added, With some company. He gave me a sly grin. Rumor has it you two didnt come back until after dawn.I glanced at Tamlin, biting my lip. Id practically floated into my bedroom that morning. But Tamlins gaze now roved my face as if searching for any tinge of regret, of fear. Ridiculous.You bit my neck on Fire Night, I said under my breath. If I can face you after that, a few kisses are nothing.He braced his forearms on the table as he leaned closer to me. Nothing? His eyes flicked to my lips. Lucien shifted in his seat, muttering to the Cauldron to spare him, but I ignored him.Nothing, I repeated a bit distantly, watching Tamlins mouth move, so keenly aware of every movement he made, resenting the table between us. I could almost feel the warmth of his breath.Are you sure? he murmured, intent and hungry enough that I was glad I was sitting. He could have had me right there, on top of that table. I wanted his broad hands running over my bare skin, wanted his teeth scraping against my neck, wanted his mouth all over me.Im trying to eat, Lucien said.
