She felt incredibly self-conscious.
Logan, however, was entirely unfazed. "Don't sweat it. Just pretend I'm your loyal pet."
"I've never fed a pet before," Sloane admitted.
Despite her words, her competitive streak flared, and she scooped up a massive bite of rice, holding it out to his lips.
Logan dutifully opened wide, taking the entire bite.
The rice was slightly sticky, and a few grains clung to her fork. Unbothered, Logan thoroughly licked them off the tines.
When it was Logan's turn, he picked up a piece of the braised pork belly for Sloane.
The cut was a bit too large, forcing Sloane to open wide. As she bit down, a drop of the rich sauce inevitably escaped the corner of her lips.
Logan immediately grabbed a napkin, gently dabbing her mouth.
His touch was incredibly soft, almost reverent.
Sloane chewed with her cheeks puffed out, overwhelmed.
In all her years, she never knew eating a single meal could take this long.
"Want some greens?" Logan offered.
"Mhm." She needed the vegetables to cut the richness of the pork.
Sloane leaned in for the sautéed spinach he offered. The stems were long, so her lips moved rapidly—like a little rabbit—as she slurped the greens in.
Watching her glossy, flushed lips work the food, Logan's Adam's apple bobbed heavily.
Once she finished the greens, she fed him another large piece of pork.
She deliberately aimed for the biggest pieces, ensuring that once he ate them, all the smaller, manageable ones would be left for her.
Logan took the massive bites without a single drop of sauce spilling, managing to look both ruthlessly rugged and impossibly aristocratic at the same time. "This piece is fantastic," he praised.
"Isn't it all the same?"
"It tastes better when you feed it to me."
Sloane was speechless.
She glanced over at the other couples.
Macy and Dan were having the time of their lives.
"Hubby, I want that teeny-tiny little piece of meat," Macy cooed.
Dan treated her like a toddler. "Open wide, say ahh—"
