Chapter 280
Daphne
I run my fingers through her hair, silky and soft, and kiss her forehead. She doesn't stir from sleep, lost in some dream that makes her nose twitch. I get an idea. A terrible, wonderful idea.
Don't do it.
I, in fact, do it.
I gently take one of her long, floppy rabbit ears between my lips.
She wakes up immediately, shooting upright with a jolt, her eyes wide and startled. "You—You!!!!"
I can't help my smile, releasing her ear. It flops back down, slightly damp.
"I'm not tasty! Don't try to eat me!" she squeaks, scrambling back against the headboard, clutching the blanket to her chest.
"Not tasty?" I muse, crawling closer. "That's false advertising, my dear bunny. You are delectable."
"I've always known you wanted to eat me!" she accuses, though a giggle is fighting its way through her indignation. "Showing your true colors now!"
