"What do you want to eat for breakfast today ma'am?" Aiden asked, glancing up as Serena stumbled out of her room, still half-asleep.
Serena froze, her eyes narrowing on the man standing in the kitchen, already dressed immaculately for work. Damm it. She was supposed to be getting ready for her first day too, but she'd barely slept. How could she when thoughts of him had tortured her all night, keeping her awake? Now here he was, fresh as a daisy, calm and collected, as if he hadn't spent the night visiting her dreams.
Narrowing her eyes, she forced a sweet smile, stepping closer to him. "You," she replied, "I'll eat you for breakfast."
Aiden blinked, caught completely off guard by her bold response. He coughed, his eyes widening slightly as he turned to look at her, surprised. Though he did not know why he was always surprised by her outrageousness.. Serena didn't miss the way he stared at her, and with a sly wink, sauntered over to take her seat at the table.
