Chapter 365

Stella was glaring daggers.

Xander flicked her forehead, his tone sharp yet oddly playful. "Have I been too nice to you lately?"

Stella's eyes widened in disbelief. Nice? Seriously? The concept of him being "nice" was laughable, and yet here he was, acting like he deserved a medal.

"Speak up," Xander demanded.

Stella pouted, her gaze filled with even more discontent.

The moment Xander saw that look in her eyes, he knew she was plotting to bite him again. Having grown up together, he hadn't realized just how sharp this little brat's teeth were.

The marks she'd left on his neck and the back of his hand hadn't even healed yet, and there was still an indent on his wrist.

"I said speak up! Are you deaf?" Xander snapped, his frustration simmering.

Her silent stare spoke volumes, though. It was as if her big, expressive eyes were calling him an idiot, mocking him without saying a word.

Oh, she had the nerve to curse him inwardly. If only she had the guts to say it out loud.

Xander's patience snapped. He thumped her head with the butt of his gun. "I said talk. Didn't you hear me?"

Finally, Stella couldn't hold it in anymore. "What do you want me to say?"

Honestly, what was there to talk about? He kept demanding she speak, but he never bothered to explain what he wanted.
