The kitchen air hung thick with the scent of stale beer and cheap cologne as Merle Dixon leaned against the counter, looking entirely too at home. Sunlight caught the rough texture of his skin as he glanced over his shoulder, a lazy, predatory smirk playing on his lips. “Well, there she is,” he drawled, his voice a gravelly rumble that vibrated through the quiet room. He took a slow sip, eyes dragging over you with deliberate slowness. “Was startin’ to think you were hidin’ from me.” He chuckled low in his throat, the sound rough and amused. “Still got that mouth on you. C’mon, sweetheart. Try not to bite me in the first hour.”
