Winnie

No words can describe how surprised I am when Jake waltzes into the bedroom,

handing me a tray with breakfast items. ”

Here, you should eat something.”

“Oh,” I smile at him, moved by the gesture.

Thank you.”

“No problem.”

Jake takes a seat at the edge of the bed, watching me. His dark hair is starting to look fluffy, and his eyes are magically blue.

It’s always a shock to look at the brothers.

They are all breathtaking to look at, but Jake definitely takes the prize for being the biggest. The muscles in his forearms are

impressive. And even though he is hiding the

rest of his body by wearing a hoodie and

sweatpants, anyone can tell he is a

bodybuilder.

My eyes rest on his pecs outlined in his hoodie, but when he clears his throat, I

pretend to stare at the washed-out text

written over his chest. And then I slowly lift

my eyes to his face.

“The breakfast is good.”

“Great.”

Jesus, could a guy sound more enthusiastic?

As usual, Jake’s expression doesn’t give me any clue what is happening inside that head

of his. It tends to make it awkward between

us when we are alone, and I plaster a

wavering smile on my lips.

“I love the bacon.”

He grunts a reply, and I look down at the food. I’m pleased by the bacon and eggs, but

when I dig into the savory goodness, it

becomes clear Jake wasn’t the one who

cooked.

“Though I can’t help but notice that this is a

bit… lackluster.”

“What do you mean?”

“No offense, Jake,” I say and place a hand

over my chest. “But you didn’t make the

breakfast.”

“Nope.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive.”
