His blush deepened. “Ah—well, I think I’m going to check on Hallie and Vince to make sure they don’t need help with setting up the grill. I’ll be back with some food, okay?”
“Sure.” I watched him hop to his feet and jog over to where Hallie and a male wolf with short blond hair were setting up the pot.
I smiled to myself, tilting my head. From the way Jasper’s body had turned toward me during our conversation, I knew it had been going quite well. Given the way his eyes focused on mine, my mouth, and my neck, I could tell that he was interested in me. It was flattering to know that I had so easily charmed a wolf with such a cute personality and a handsome face, but he didn’t light me on fire the way Night did when he looked at me.
The moment Night entered my brain, I looked away from the wolves and down at the ground. What was wrong with me? It was wrong, so wrong, for me to feel this way toward the Alpha of the Wargs. For one, he was my kidnapper, and for another, he was completely unattainable. What’s more, he didn’t seem to like me all that much. On the few occasions where we’d spoken, it had ended in a fight. Granted, my goal had been to annoy him or get him riled up, but I couldn’t even say why I’d tried so hard to get under his skin.
