he noticed because he turned his head and immediately met my eyes with his deep brown ones. He was dressed in fitted distressed Diesel jeans and an un-tucked button up shirt . H e was barefoot with his legs crossed at the ankle and his blond shaggy hair gave him the look of a carefree surfer.
He gave me a smile that met his eyes, and I could see a hint of fang at the corner of his lips ; with that my stomach tightened, and I wanted to go straight to him. His eyes began to show a slight rim of black, and I could tell he was inhaling the scent of my desire.
“Jules, you look great tonight. Love the shirt.” He moved to put down his cup of coffee, but Ana blocked his path to me.
I could tell she was upset at our unspoken exchange, very jealous about it in fact, and a little embarrassed. I assumed the latter was because the kiss last night; I wasn’t going to say anything about it if she didn’t. I wasn’t interested in having a romantic relationship with Ana. Hell, I was still getting used to not hating her all the time, and if that was something she wanted from me , she was going to be disappointed.
“Thanks, so do you.”
“Alright, I have a question for you two.”
I finally managed to pull my stare away before I made good on what my shirt suggested and planted a big wet one on him right here and now.
“Why the hell do I pass out cold the second the sun rises while you two get to stay up and play , and still get to wake up way before me? It’s not fair!” I was completely serious, how long had they been up anyway?
The sun only rose 15 minutes ago . I didn’t even take a shower before I came down, hoping to beat them. They however, thought this was horribly funny. They just stared at me for a moment, and both burst out laughing!
“This is what you are concerned about? Our ‘bedtime’. I thought your big question was going to be about Victoria and Nathaniel!” Ana was tearing up.
“Ok, this really isn’t necessary. It’s a serious question ; why do I always freaking pass out? How long have you two been up anyways - - did you even try to wake me up?”
William was laughing, but trying to hold it in.
“You sound like a little kid, complaining that the big kids got to stay up later than you.”
William was making his way over to me and had finally stopped laughing at me. He brushed the backs of his knuckles down my cheek when he spoke.
“The older you get, the more resistant you become to the sun’s pull ; but you will always have to sleep some during daylight hours. That is why we have so many safeguards around the house. You are just a newborn, almost like a newborn baby, and require lots of ‘sleep’ as you put it.”
He leaned in closer, the length of his body almost touching mine, but not quite, and whispered into my ear, “I’ll gladly try to see if I can wake you up earlier if you’d like though.”
When he pulled back to look at me his eyes held mine, they were almost all black, and he had a sexy smile showing the tips of his fangs. How he’d figured out that turned me on, I didn’t know. Maybe it was a coincidence?
I just swallowed loudly . I didn’t know how to respond to that, didn’t know if I wanted him trying to wake me up . I had a very good idea what his technique might involve, but I also didn’t know that I didn’t want him to try. Oh man, was I confused.
“So what have you two been talking about while I was in my coma then?”
I went with ignoring the whole comment William made; that always made things easier. Right?
“We’ve been working on a plan to kill you,” Ana said tensely.
“What!” I spun around to look at her and could see she was pissed at William and me both.
“You said you wanted to give your family some closure, that they needed to move on, so we’re going to give them that; we are going to kill you.” She said this with a little too much satisfaction as her lips turned up into a half smile.
“Look Ana, I know you’re pissed at me
