A snippet from Edge of Night for ya! In which our chef heroine woos her vampire with food. She glanced over and offered him a quick wink. “Well, I need you to keep your strength up so I can wring you out on the mattress again.” Following her lighter lead, he arched one eyebrow. “Again? When was the first time?” A sassy smile answered that. She waved him into one of the stools that surrounded the island and set his plate in front of him. “Dinner is served.” She went to dish something into a small bowl, and then hunkered down to put it on the floor. She stroked Balthasar’s back while he dug in. Luca felt oddly jealous of his cat. Snorting at that stupidity, he plied himself to his own meal. It was even more delicious than it smelled. The cheese was gooey, the mushrooms flavorful, the eggs fluffy. Every few bites, he got a bit of ham. A low hum of satisfaction worked its way up his throat. “This is outstanding, Chef Bates.” “Why, thank you, Agent Cavalli.” She fluttered her eyelashes at him. “The secret is the gruyere. Best cheese for omelets.” “What kind of mushrooms are these?” “Portobello.” She rose and went back to the kitchen to clean up. “When you’re done, I have some pineapple strawberry sorbet I was experimenting with yesterday and it should be ready to test now.” “So you want to experiment on me, huh?” She widened her eyes. “Since when have you ever complained about me using your body for all my creative processes?” “Never.” He leaned back in his chair, his body revving up at the thought of the many, many inventive things they’d done to each other in the last year. “Let’s take the sorbet with us to bed.”
