I let out a faint exhale. "I guess so. But if it happens, it won't be because I want to revive Lilith," I said, raising my glass and taking a slow drink.
"Fufufufu…" her laugh was soft, dangerous, wrapping itself around the air. "As it happens, I'll be staying in this city for a while. Lately, I've been sleeping in a very soft bed. But tonight… for some reason, I feel like lying down on a rough one."
Her hand slid across and rested lightly on my thigh. The meaning was obvious. She was too obvious.
She was practically inviting me to have sex with her right there.
I could've gone along with it. I could've let her pull me in. But this woman had a poisoned tongue, and I knew if I allowed myself to be swayed, the consequences would be dangerous.
"Sorry, but I'll pass," I said, cutting off her advance.
