He gently guided Thalia towards the bathroom, his hand lingering at the small of her back. “Be a good girl, darling. Go freshen up first.”

After washing up, Thalia took her seat at the dining table, catching Asher’s admiring glance as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

Asher had prepared a proper Sunday breakfast spread.

Perfectly scrambled eggs with grilled tomatoes, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and homemade leek and potato soup–all Thalia’s favourite comfort foods.

Thalia hadn’t eaten breakfast, and her stomach was growling audibly.

After washing her face, she felt fully awake, the memory of last night’s intimacy making her cheeks warm briefly.

She picked up her cutlery and tucked in enthusiastically.

Asher sat across from her, the corner of his eyes crinkling with amusement, his gaze lingering on her lips as she ate, filled with undisguised adoration.

“Is it to your liking?” he asked softly, his deep voice still slightly husky from sleep.

“Mmm!” Thalia nodded, taking another bite. “Nobody cooks quite like you, Asher. It’s absolutely perfect.”

“You should eat too,” Thalia said, her eyes curved into crescents. “Can’t have you wasting away, can we?”

“Lia,” Asher’s voice carried a hint of mischief, his eyes darkening slightly.

“Yes? What is it?” The young woman looked up at him, fork halfway to her mouth.

Asher smiled, his heated gaze holding hers captive. “I’ve already been thoroughly satisfied by you last night. Now it’s my turn to nourish you.”

“Pfft-” Thalia choked on her soup and began coughing, her cheeks flooding with colour.

“You…” Her face turned crimson, and she gently bit her lip, utterly mortified yet secretly pleased by his forwardness. “I can’t believe you just said that!”

“Miss Bennett, Vanessa has been taken by Mr. Blackwood’s men,” a man in a black security uniform reported respectfully to Grace, his head bowed.

“Why didn’t those useless idiots climinate her?” Grace’s eyes flashed with vicious intent as she snarled. “Bloody fools!”

“Yes, miss,” the bodyguard responded mechanically, like an emotionless robot.

Grace suddenly turned to glare at the bodyguard. “You’re utterly useless as well! Complete imbecile!”

“Yes, miss.”
