I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it’s definitely not the look that crosses his face. His smile falls,

replaced quickly by a frown. He looks genuinely confused, but I force myself not to read too much into

it. He could just be faking it. I’m sure his time as an Alpha has taught him a thing or two about acting.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says. He sounds genuine, but I don’t trust him enough to

believe he actually is. Not anymore.

He sits on the edge of his desk and his muscles bulge as he adjusts his seat. His suit jacket lies draped

across the chair behind him, and his white dress shirt strains as he sits, contouring to his sculpted arms

and chest. He crosses his long legs out in front of him.

It’s hard not to be a little distracted by him. I can feel myself being drawn to him, like two magnets.

Something in me just wants to cross the room and sink into his muscular arms. I want to feel his lips on

came into my restaurant the other night, and now I’m out of business for a month. All because I didn’t

give you a timely reservation?!”

His frown deepens, and he narrows his eyes at me. “So, I’m a shameless villain in your mind, is that

He rubs his temples, and I know that means he’s got a terrible headache. He’s always had bad ones. I
