"Which twit told you that?"he demands.His anger startles me.I lift my hand when Gannon grabs it before I can chew on my thumbnail, not realizing I am about to do it.
"Eat the candy, Abbie," he says, then lets go of my hand.I offer him one.
"Will you try one?"I ask him, feeling odd eating them in front of him as he pulls into the castle grounds.
"Are they sour?"he asks, and I shake my head.
"You haven't tried them?"
"No, I mostly go for Liam's licorice," he answers as I dig one out of the bag for him and hold it out to him.Yet instead of taking it from me, he leans over, plucking it from my fingers with his lips.He sucks my fingers into his mouth with it before pulling back.I stare at him, shocked, when he laughs, sending me a wink.I chuckle, my face heating up as I laugh at his playfulness.He chews on it before swallowing it.
"It's very sugary," he says, licking the sugar from his lips.I offer him the bag, not wanting to lose my fingers, but he shakes his head."No, you enjoy them," he says, pulling into the garage.
