✨EXCERPT: HIS OBSESSION by @nicolebaker_author releasing July 18th!
#PreOrder
He stands with a quiet, dangerous confidence that makes my breath catch, then turns his back to me and gets back to cooking. He uses tongs to pull the pasta out of the boiling water and adds it to the skillet, mixing it around in the juices.
Okay, he wins this one. He’s a great multitasker. Dammit.
He picks up my panties and jeans. “Here. Hop off the counter.”
When I do, he’s down on his knees, slowly helping me into my panties first, then my jeans. He stands up and focuses on zipping “and buttoning them, kisses my forehead, then grabs two plates out of my cabinet.
“I’m just going to cut up some of this bread. Why don’t you open that bottle of wine and pour us some?” he asks over his shoulder.
Once all is said and done, we are sitting at my table with an incredible plate of pasta, fancy wine, bread, and oil with herbs to dunk in—all prepped while he got me off.
He is trying so hard not to smirk as he grabs his glass of wine and takes a sip.
“You’re really impressed with yourself right now. Aren’t you?”
He chuckles. “You know, you have these ideas in your mind, but I could have easily burned something or overcooked the pasta.”
I smile and shake my head. “At least you’re honest about it. Your ego might not be as inflated as I thought.”
“There’s still time for me? I’m not completely broken?” he jokes—though I wonder if he’s kidding.
There’s something in his eyes that seems almost pleading, begging me to tell him he can be the man he wants to be.
