The morning sunlight streamed through the glass windows, casting a warm glow over him as if painting him with hues of gold.

His chiseled features and sensual lips made it impossible to look away.

The usual aloofness he carried at work seemed to have melted away, replaced by an air of homely charm. Even in an apron, his striking good looks were as mesmerizing as ever, almost otherworldly.

“I see” I nodded. “You can cook?”
