Layla’s pov

“Youre early.” He said and his words draw me away from the sight of his toned stomach and to the wicked playful gleam in his eyes.

His white teeth flashed as his upper lip lifted in a smooth smirk when I didn’t answer as quickly.

Clearing my throat, I looked over his shoulder and shifted on my feet. “I thought I’d get used to the place a bit and perhaps be more familiarized with my role before being alone with Daff. Kind of need to know if there are important things I should know about her.”

“Hmmmm. All I hear is Daff and no Tyler. Makes me feel like you only came here for her.” I knew he was teasing, it was clear with the teasing wicked smile on his face.
