She only spoke after the office door choked shut. “Do you always treat women so coldly, Mr. Burton? Loo at Ms. Wallace. She’s about to cry

“Do you fancy her?” Acassum shon track.

Alicia shrugged. “She’s a beauty. Anyone would feel sorry for her.”

“Sorry sites saragh I don’t think she’ll think the same of you.”

She swore under her breath. Was this guy for real? Did he think she was some kind of freak show or perwer wihold go after anything with a heartbeat? That was twisted.

“WTranched you make?” Austin’s eyes landed on the food box.

She wen ʼn beside him and arranged the dishes and dessert one by one.

“Looks decent.” Austin nodded.

“Give it a taste.” Alicia softly smiled and scooped some soup to his lips.

Austin opened his mouth and drank a spoonful.

“How’s the taste?” she quickly asked.

On anyone else, that kind of pleading look would be annoying. However, on her pretty face, it came off a endearing. Her big eyes sparkled wide.

“Not bad.”

Alicia pouted. “I cooked all morning, and I just get ‘not bad?“”

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet. I made a light salad for myself.”

She pulled a chicken breast and vegetables from her tote.

Austin glanced at it with a hint of disdain. “You’re gonna fill up on rabbit food?”

“Of course. Maintaining this kind of figure isn’t easy. Do you think I was born this sitimg”

Before she could blink, he reached out and pulled her down onto his lap.

Her chest softly pressed against his solid one..

The air thickened with a hint of tension.

Alicia’s ears burned. She wanted him, sure, but not in a place like this.

“How can I eat if you’re hugging me?” She tried to steer the topic.

Austin gently held her wrist. “Feed me.”

Fublisher

Alicia inwardly groaned. She had never met someone so stubborn.

Still, he held her fate in his hands. With a sweet smile, she replied. “Fine, but loosen your grip first.”

He didn’t. His fingertips brushed along the tender inner side of her wrist.

She had no choice but to play along, bringing spoonful after spoonful to his mouth.

His gaze burned, hot and honest, as if what he wanted most wasn’t the food but her.

By the end of the meal. her heart was racing. She jumped up to clean and get ready to leave. “Mr. Burton, if you’re done. I’ll take my leave.”

His cold voice called out from behind. “Cook dinner and wait for me at home tonight.”

“Okay.”

He twirled his pen and casually added, “I like white.”

Alicia froze with her hand on the doorknob. She paused, then realized he was answering that question. from before. “Got it.”

Night was creeping in Austin stepped inside with the last rays of sunlight.

A warm aroma floated from the kitchen. She was testing the soup for seasoning when she turned and saw him leaning by the door. His coat was off, a couple of buttons undone on his white shirt.

His handsome face lost its usual chill and gained a trace of warmth. “You look like the perfect image of a dutiful housewife,” he commented.

Alicia smiled. “Thanks. Dinner will be ready once I wash my hands.”

He stepped closer. Alicia’s heart raced with each step.

Austin gently pinned her against the counter and whispered in her ear, “Would you stay over tonight?”

His voice was heavy with suggestion.

They were adults. She perfectly understood what he meant.
