I relaxed in Micah's arms, and wrapped my own around him, letting him hold me and absorbed his heat. Snuggling closer to his warmth, I inhaled his scent as if I could never get enough. I ignored the little voice in my head that proclaimed I would never get enough of him and buried my face in his neck.
After I calmed down, I pulled back a bit and looked up at him. "Why didn't I have to invite you in?" I worried my lower lip. What if the other vamp had found that he could just waltz in here uninvited? My eyes widened. Would I ever be safe anywhere?
Micah smiled. "I made the reservation, remember?"
"Oh, yes, now that you mention it," I nodded. I'm sure my relief showed in my sagging shoulders. He had insisted on it, now that I recall. It was a good thing too. Otherwise I'd still be huddled on the bathroom floor in a heap.
At least now I knew why he'd been so adamant about why he should make the reservation. I rested my head on his shoulder, and thought about how nice it felt to snuggle up to him on the bed. I couldn't remember the last time I was able to just revel in the sense of being close to someone. I had the sneaking suspicion it had been with Micah, though.
I turned my head a bit and buried my nose in the vee of his shirt. Goodness, he smells good enough to eat.
Micah's hand stilled where he'd been smoothing my hair and I felt a bulge in the general vicinity of his crotch.
I cleared my throat, "Well, either you've taken to packing lead, or you're really happy to see me." I half joked, this time I didn't care that he'd read my mind. All I cared about was that I was still alive and he was with me.
Micah clenched his teeth together, fisted his hand in my hair, and tugged. My head tipped back and I looked directly into his fathomless, ebony eyes.
"I'm extremely happy to see you," he growled, just before his lips lowered to mine.
I thought of reprimanding him for bullying me around, for a split second. But, I gave a mental shrug and decided I liked it.
