Cursed With Benefits – Roxie Ray

Again. I turned before he could see it on my face. “You’re impossible.” “I’m improving,” he said, as if that were the same thing. I needed air. Or food. Or something that didn’t involve staring at Cristian’s stupid, perfect face. I opened the fridge and started pulling things out: lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, ranch, then grabbed the biggest knife I could find. Something about a knife felt grounding. Cristian sat at the kitchen island. I didn’t look up, but I could feel the weight of his gaze. My pulse stuttered.

In a tone of pure satisfaction, he said, “What’s poppin’, chef bitch?” The knife clattered against the cutting board. “Cristian, no. We just talked about this.” He frowned. “Was that not… slay?” “You cannot”—I gasped for air—“talk like that. Ever.” He tried again, undeterred. “These vegetables are mid. No cap.” Tears pricked the corners of my eyes. I had to grip the counter just to stay upright. “Oh my god, you’re not even in the right age bracket for this. You’re not even close,” I managed between wheezes.

“You sound like a Victorian ghost haunting Gen Z.” He frowned. “I said it correctly.” “That’s the problem,” I said, still laughing. “You sound like a dad trying to use slang to seem cool to his kids.” It took me a second to breathe again. My cheeks hurt. My stomach ached. “Sorry,” I said finally, wiping at my eyes.

“I just—God, I needed that. I don’t laugh like this enough.” He watched me intently. I shrugged one shoulder. “My therapist says I should stop apologizing for being loud and taking up space when I’m happy.” He didn’t miss a beat. “This room likes you loud.” The words landed like a punch, and I felt that fucking flutter in my chest. Then—pain. “Shit!” I hissed, clapping my hand over my finger. Blood welled up fast.

“Ow, ow, ow.” He was beside me in an instant. Vampire speed. I’d never get used to it. “May I?” he asked, his voice steady but low. I stared at him, not entirely sure what he meant. But something in me trusted him. I nodded and extended my hand. He brought my finger to his mouth. The first touch of his tongue burned. Then the pain vanished.

My breath caught. His mouth was warm and far too gentle.

I parked my extremely average, slightly dented Corolla at the bottom of the gravel driveway and stared at it.

The place loomed before me, all gray stone and towering windows. There were gargoyles. Actual gargoyles. Someone had definitely paid extra for the gothic add-ons. The hedges were so overgrown I was sure generations of wildlife were inhabiting them.
