Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 654

Let him get the shock of his life.

When it was time for lunch, Dominic refused to hear a word about restaurants.

"I'm cooking for you," he announced, shrugging out of his jacket as we walked into the house. "One of your favorites. Non-negotiable."

"You don't have to..."

"I want to. Sit. Look pretty. Touch nothing."

"You're so bossy for a man in an apron."

"This apron is doing a lot of heavy lifting for this family."

He chased me out of the kitchen, and I surrendered and sat at the counter with a glass of wine, watching him work. Jacket off, sleeves of his white shirt folded up over his forearms, veins shifting along his arms every time he lifted the pan. It had to be illegal for a man to look that good and still be so perfect. There should have been a permit. An inspection. Something.

The smell hit me before the plating did, garlic and butter and that specific spice blend he guarded like state secrets, and my stomach audibly growled.

I got up, crossed the kitchen, and wrapped my arms around him from behind, pressing my cheek between his shoulder blades.

"This is absolutely at the top of my favorite dishes," I murmured. "The aroma is making me salivate. It's driving me crazy. Thank you for being the best man in the world."

He turned in my arms and kissed my forehead. "I'm glad you like it. But sit down, because I have to tell you something, and it isn't pleasant."

I pulled back, suddenly worried. "What is it?"

"I got the arrest warrant ready for Julian." He slid the pan off the heat. "But Julian has vanished. Last night, after the officers left, he pressured the doctor into discharging him, and he's been in hiding since. There's a manhunt underway. He'll be caught. No matter what happens, no matter where he runs, he won't be able to hide for long."
