Nyla watched Damon’s broad back, feeling warmth in the places where he had touched her. It was as if those spots were burning, sending heat through her body straight to her heart.

“Be careful, it’s hot!” Damon reminded her, but it was too late.

The moment the scalding pasta touched Nyla’s tongue, she frowned in pain.

Feeling a sharp sting, she quickly spat the pasta out.

In the next instant, a cool hand grasped her chin.
