"I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true, darling." Kol found he wanted far more of that smile. Of course, if he kept winding up in the library with his head between another woman's thighs...that probably wasn't going to happen. Honestly, Kol didn't see it occurring again. Alyssa was wonderful, but he felt more like they would probably just end up as friends. Which was fine. Kol didn't expect anything from her. It had been a good time for both of them.
He arched a brow at her explanation. Misread things? Well, he did flirt with her. How could he not? Of course, he didn't expect Davina to retaliate in anyway. So far, she'd kept their relationship in friend territory and given who he was? That was probably for the best. But now she was suggesting that she might have actually welcomed those advances.
"You mean you enjoy when I flirt with you and find lame excuses to touch you while we do magic?" Kol teased. "I figured you were merely tolerating me because you wanted the information I provided. You realize now I'm going to have to step up my game, right?"
He watched as she poured the steaming water over the herbs and the smell of the mixture filled the air. Kol wasn't a tea person, but the scent was very calming. He reached out and gently took the mug, setting it on the table, before pulling out the chair for her.
"Well, lucky for you, I have a talent for not burning lavender, love. Why don't you let me handle it next time?" Kol gestured for her to take a seat before he claimed the seat across from her.
At the mention of headaches, Kol frowned. As a vampire, he didn't experience anything like that anymore. He hadn't in thousands of years, but there were potions to help with them. Much more potent than tea. "I'm sure there is something to help with those," Kol replied gently. "And I'm sorry your mate isn't here. He could always pop up at some point. This place seems to take all kinds, darling." Just as long as his siblings didn't show up.
The laughter was like music to his ears and Kol grinned in response. "Why should I if it gets me laughs and smiles like that from you? No, I think I'll use and abuse it in your presence love so you best be prepared."
