Steve cut his soft brown eyes to her and a knowing sh his brown hair, which he wore a tad longer thaninstantly styled She doubted he went to soet that look, but it almost appeared like he did

His smile widened and he tucked one hand into his jeans pocket The stance e "So what you&039;re saying is that the bed is worse than the sofa?"

"I didn&039;t say that" She tried not to laugh, but so close to it slipped out of her mouth She tried not to stare at his crooked smile and what it did to his lips and eyes Or how his ive anything, even half a bra size to ly And unlike her two roommates at Shadow Falls, she didn&039;t have much bra size to offer

She continued to stare at hiuy much better than one who looked like he&039;d just walked off of soht, breathing in his aro the last two hours as a bird, he wouldn&039;t s men&039;s soap, but he did

He smelledawesome, and that ticked her off, too

If she were a witch like her bigger-boobed rooe hiuy And she&039;d also make him lessnice She didn&039;t like nice

The only nice person Della had grown fond of was Kylie And she was so nice, even Della couldn&039;t hate her Well, right now, Della did hate her Hated her for leaving And if she didn&039;t get her butt back to Shadow Falls soon, Della was going to drag her friend back kicking and screarandfather and learn ed at Shadow Falls So each other And no one was better at that than Kylie

"We could both sleep on the sofa," Steve said, and damn if he didn&039;t sound serious

"Not even in your dreams, bird boy!" she snapped

"Ouch," he said and chuckled "I only meant your head at one end and "

"So you&039;ve got a foot fetish, do you?" she asked before she could stop herself

Huht in front of the bare , and the last rays of the setting sun beaood look at those eyes Were those flecks of aaze lowered to her Nike-covered size sixes "I don&039;t know, I haven&039;t seen your naked feet"

Hearing him say the word naked hat sounded like a deep Southern accent, deeper than Texas, ain and had never been kissed Good Lord, rong with her? Since when did she find a Southern accent seductive?

She stuck one foot behind the other "And you won&039;t see the that they&039;d been here less than fiveAt least it felt like flirting

And Della Tsang didn&039;t flirt

Not anyaze rose from her feet "We&039;ll see about that," he said

They stood there staring at each other for a second Then he spoke up "You want to go grab a bite to eat?"

She frowned "I brought a couple pints of AB positive with e While most vamps preferred their blood warm, Della liked it better cold When your core tes colder than yourself

"Yeah, but I need food Soonna go down to"

Steve had been set up to play as her shape-shifter boyfriend, a guy she&039;daway froang, but if she got accepted, and he could prove his worth to theht in as an "extra" Basically someone they sent out to do their dirty work Which was part of the reason it pissed her off that Burnett insisted he come Extras were considered expendable

"Don&039;t worry, I&039;ll protect you," she said

"That just waro with er"

He , she was about to call hi a Walmart not far from there and close to some fast-food joints She could pick up a set of sheets, a blanket, and soth Lysol spray and maybe be able to sleep on the bed ThatSteve She wouldn&039;t be gone long She only needed a peek A peek at the life she&039;d been cheated out of

"Fine" She lit out of the room

He lit out with her, and within seconds had transforrine falcon She wasn&039;t certain, but she thought she&039;d heard this was one of the fastest birds that existed It wasn&039;t a half-bad-looking animal, either Its feathers were a blend of browns, tans, and black Its eyes were striking, round, with large black pupils that sees, it almost looked like it had leopard spots

Della didn&039;t knohole lot about shape-shifters, but she&039;d heard once that one sign of their poas they could shift quickly He&039;d shifted into a bird pretty da

Sort of like flirting, Della Tsang didn&039;t get iuys

Not anymore

Not since she&039;d turned vampire, turned cold, and had her heart shattered into tiny little bitty pieces by the guy as supposed to love her forever

Della landed with a thud on the paveantly beside her His wings stretched out wide

I back into human foran floating around One of his transfor air popped on her ar like she&039;d walked on carpet and then touched so here?" Steve asked, looking confused

"Bedding and disinfectant" She brushed off her elbow then looked up The sky was darkening, and the stars hadn&039;t yet co her nose in the air, her vaht the hint of olf under the strong scent of ?" Steve asked

"A feolves, but not too close"

He frowned "Daet the hell back"

She smirked "You scared of a couple of olves?"

"Scared, no But we don&039;t need any trouble right now" He started walking

She moved with him "Sometiy for any trouble that finds us to?" she snipped

"No, but I&039;ll adhter"

She kept an eye on the dark shadows,didn&039;t lurk there "Please, that&039;s so lame"

"Lame, but true" Humor sounded in his voice

"I&039;ll stick with laain, but afraid she&039;d be pulled into his shter in his voice gave her sto so two flat sheets, a couple of pillowcases, two blankets, and so of chips At the fast-food place next door he got his burger to go, but he wolfed it down as they left the joint to find a desolate spot for him to transforer when they started down a dark alley behind the strip center She noticed he stuffed the sandrapper in his pocket The guy didn&039;t even litter, never ot about ten feet dohen they heard a screa scream
