Chapter 16 You Can Sleep With Me

• He gave me a playful smile. “Whatever you make, I’ll taste it.”
• I raised my eyebrows, feeling a little more confident. As I started cutting the cucumber, Ezekiel suddenly came up behind me and slipped an apron over my head. I froze for a moment, surprised by the unexpected gesture, my heart skipping a beat as he tied it around my waist. I wasn’t used to him being so close, but I wasn’t about to complain.
