Dakota led him to a booth and slipped along one bench. Ezekiel took the other facing the door.
That’s when he saw it, the black painted cross hanging over the threshold. At this diner it almost blended in.
A plump, blonde waitress scurried over to them, not looking up from her notepad. “What can I get you to drink?”
As she looked up and saw Dakota, she squealed and continued. “Dakota, I’m so glad you’re here. What brought you back so soon?”
Dakota gave her a shrug. “Just a sense I needed to be back. Minnie, let me introduce you to my friend, Zeke. Zeke, this is Minnie.”
The blonde’s cheeks tinged bright pink as she held her hand out to Ezekiel. “Your friend, huh? It’s nice to meet you, Zeke.”
There was a growl clear as day from the other side of the table. To egg Dakota on, Ezekiel took Minnie’s hand and turned it so he could press a kiss on her knuckles. He felt a sudden, violent bout of nausea hit him like a tidal wave. So this is what his brothers were talking about.
He tried to be smooth but it failed miserably. “It’s nice to meet you, too, Minnie.”
“I’ll go get a pot of coffee.” Minnie hurried away behind the counter then disappeared into the kitchen. Ezekiel swallowed back the bile in the back of his throat.
“What the fuck was that?” Dakota demanded.
Ezekiel shrugged. “Just trying to be polite since I’m just your friend.”
“Well, don’t. She’s a nice girl. She doesn’t need to get caught up in the likes of you.”
“I can’t, remember? I’m mated. Oh, yeah, to you in fact.”
Dakota rolled her eyes. “What is your next move, loverboy?”
Dakota smirked at her. “I graduated from ‘princess’. That’s good news. I’m going to go find the book.”
“So, a suicide mission and just when I was getting to like you.”
“You like me, huh?”
Dakota’s eyes narrowed as she smiled. It was enough to send raging lust through Ezekiel’s core. The cold metal of his zipper pressed dangerously against his hard cock.
“There are parts of you that I enjoy immensely,” she replied softly.
“Huh.” Ezekiel ran his tongue along his bottom lips then swallowed hard. “Maybe we should join up and hunt for the book and Black together. I wouldn’t want you to miss out on the parts of me that you like so much.”
“But then I have to deal with the parts of you that drive me crazy, too.”
