The Two Kings (Afterlife Saga) by Stephanie Hudson Page B

made the window open , with out even going near it and he pushed the smoke out towards it in gathered cloud . I stood staring like he was my own personal magician. I looked down at the plastic crumbs in his hand and his eyes followed.
    “Too much?” He said sheepishly before making t he pieces fuse back together and even the battery acid that had escaped onto his hands followed back into the casing. I couldn't tear my eyes off the sight. It was like watching the destruction of it in reverse. Once it was back togeth er he placed it back on the wall and fit ted it into place. I looked at the tea towel in my hand thinking it could now retire. I laughed out loud at the thought of what Libby would have done if she had seen Draven do ing this th e next time she burnt som ething, which in her case was a daily occurrence.
    “What's funny?” He asked light heartedly.
    “Just wondering if I will ever get used to seeing it ? ”
    “Seeing what exactly?”
    “The impossible . ” He grunted out a little laugh at my answer . I pulled out the black disc that once resembled something you could eat and broke it up to fit it in the bin.
    “Well there goes my dinner, looks like cheese on toast . ”
    “That was pizza right?”
    “Hard to believe , I know . ” He looked so much happier now we had made up, smiling down at me.
    “Then why don't you order one to be delivered?” He said passing me the phone and the take out menu that was stuck to the fridge by a Union Jack magnet.
    “Ok , but only if you help me eat it, so far all I have seen you eat is an apple. If I didn't know you were an Angel/ Demon then I would think you have a n eating disorder . ” He roared with laughter at my little joke and I loved that I could make him laugh.
    He let me pick the pizza and when it came , he wouldn't let me pay or get up to get it. I wondered what the delivery person thought when Draven answered the door. Well at least Ragnar wasn't here to frisk him!
    “You didn't have to pay for it . ” I said as he brought it in the living room.
    “Keira please don't say you have a problem with me buying you dinner, especially one that cost so little. It was , after all , my fault the first one burned. ” He said taking the blame, which brought me no satisfaction.
    “Ok , but the next one is one me . ” I took the box and put it on the coffee table, ready to be devoured as I was starving.
    “If you say so . ” He said in a mocking tone to add to his mocking smile.
    “Do you ever get hungry?” I asked as I grabbed a piece and dangling the stringy cheese in my mouth before biting off the end. He watched me as if it was the first time he had seen me eat.
    “ Yes , but mainly for other things . I find watching you fascinating . ” I blushed like always.
    “Why because I'm a pig when it comes to food ? ” I said smiling because I ju st didn't care, I loved my food.
    “NO, not at all, I find you fascinating because I never knew watching someone eat could turn me on . ” Oh ... that I didn't expect.
    “Don't be daft, how could you?” I said going t he colour of the pepperoni on my slice.
    “Q uite simple ... it makes me want to taste you . ” He said so matter of fact I was taken aback. Then he lea ned over and grabbed a slice, so watching him eat it, I could actually see where he was coming from. This had never happened to me before, finding a guy sexy while biting into a pizza slice was a weird thing to get turned on about....but it still happened. I was even more surprised when he ended up eating most of the pizza because after three slices I was full. I put the box in the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge.
    I forgot to ask Draven if he wanted a drink, so I popped my head round to ask when I noticed he was looking at a picture of me and Libby when I was seventeen. It was one we had taken at Alton Towers , a theme park we went to for my birthday. I had shorter hair that looked way out of control and a little red vest
