a few strips cut, “how do you want them cut?”
He grins. “In bite size pieces is fine.”
I get to work cutting the peppers while Knox moves around the kitchen getting other things ready for breakfast. Everyone else is in the living room watching a movie, probably some kind of action movie because I hear a lot of gun fire and yelling.
“You done?” Knox startles me.
I place the knife down and wipe my hands on the towel. I left a few strips so that I can munch on them while the eggs are cooking. “Yup, all ready for you.”
In a heartbeat Knox is in my personal space, my back against his chest. “Is that so?” I inhale sharply. Knox puts a hand on my right hip and slowly inches forward to my lower stomach. I start panting. He slides his hand lower on my stomach and my body starts to tremble. Suddenly Knox’s hand is gone and so is the hand towel that I was still holding on to. “I bet those peppers are gonna taste even better than I imagined.” His warm breath tickles my neck.
Embarrassment flushes me and stains my cheeks red. Needing something to distract myself I reach for a pepper and pop it in my mouth.
I see him shake his head out of the corner of my eye. “Hungry?”
I shrug and smirk to myself, “Not as much as you are.”
Knox adds the peppers to the eggs and then mixes it up before pouring if into the frying pan. I perch myself on the counter and watch as Knox cooks. He reaches around me for a spatula and I get that electric shock and my breath catches. I know by the smirk on his face that he feels it too.
I take another bite of the leftover bell pepper and Knox groans. My eyes rise to his and I see him staring at me, his eyes are dark and hooded.
“What?” I ask him.
Knox just shakes his head.
I put another pepper in my mouth and suck on it, teasing Knox. He wanted to start something; I’m going to finish it. In a flash Knox stands directly in front of me. The pepper hangs from my mouth and both hands hold on to the counter shaken that he was going to try and move me.
Knox leans forward and the weight of him pushes my legs apart so that he can get closer to me. I freeze, afraid to move, anticipation coursing through me.
Knox stares intently at my lips. He inches forward again; he’s so close I can feel his breath on my face, minty and clean.
“If you don’t stop eating those peppers I’m going to do something that you’re probably not going to like very much. So if you don’t want that to happen I suggest you knock it off, Jasmine .” Knox whispers. His mouth slightly opens as he takes the other end of the pepper into his mouth. His full pink lips are so close. So close. Fighting the fact that my eyes want to flutter close I hear someone behind us clear their throat.
“Sorry to break up the moment but the rest of us are starving so if you aren’t going to cook can you get the fuck out of the kitchen so we can?” Jeremy says with a grin on his face.
Knox bites the pepper off and turns back to the eggs and Jeremy laughs as he reaches in the cabinet for a glass.
“Has anyone ever told you that red looks good on you?” Jeremy inquires.
Knox throws his head back and laughs.
I glare hard at Jeremy and Knox. “Assholes!” I hop off the counter and go to take Jeremy’s seat in the living room until Knox calls us for breakfast.
“So what’s the plan for tonight?” Cade says while piling eggs on his plate.
“Club Mango?” Rhea suggests.
Everyone but Summer and I bob their heads up and down in agreement. We’re the only two that have never been here so we don’t have a say.
“What time are we leaving?” Jeremy questions.
Tanner places his glass down, “Nine, I guess.”
Rex adds, “I’ll call the cabs and make sure they’re here by nine.”
Rhea looks over to Knox; he winks at her and then takes another fork full of eggs. Rhea shakes her head and continues to eat. What the hell was that about?
The next few minutes are quiet as everyone finishes up
