Lucien held her by the waist and drew her in, their faces so close that if he lowered his head even slightly, his lips would brush her delicate nose. He murmured, “I’m not done eating.”

Kaia squirmed in his arms. “Then go back and finish-”

But before she could get the words out, Lucien’s shadow fell over her, and his lips captured hers, cutting her off mid-sentence. That final word “your breakfast” was swallowed entirely by the

At ten o’clock, the villa welcomed a guest. Allen burst into the living room and sank onto the couch. He took in the transformation around him-the stark black, white, and grey scheme had given way to softer, feminine touches.

He turned to Jason with a pointed look. “She did all this?”

Jason, not daring to offend him, answered carefully, “Mrs. Graves did add a few touches, yes, sir.”

Allen made a face. “So, they’re planning to treat this place like

their marital home now?”
