Owen offered to help decorate the cupcakes. That was a little more control than I wanted to give up, but I also wanted to finish. I made him prove himself by piping on a piece of wax paper, and was impressed with the results.
We worked for a couple more hours, putting the finishing touches on everything, and boxing it all up.
“Last one.” Owen added the box of cupcakes to the stack, and turned to face me.
He had two almost perfect smudges of chocolate on his forehead, that made him look like he had double eyebrows and was very surprised. I bit my lip to hide my amusement, but a laugh slipped out.
“What did I miss?” He raised an eyebrow. That made it even funnier.
Kingston joined in the laughing. “Chocolate on your face.”
“Where?” Owen frowned.
I shouldn’t keep laughing, but I couldn’t help it. “Your forehead. Here.” I crossed the distance between us, and smudged the frosting away with a towel.
“You think that’s funny?” Owen’s tone was threatening, but he was smiling too.
“A little, yeah.”
He booped my nose. “There. Now you have chocolate on your face too.”
“You jerk.” I reached to wipe it away.
Owen grabbed my wrist. “Leave it. It looks cute.”
A shiver of desire ran through me at the heat of his grip, and when I met his gaze, my breath caught at the intensity staring back.
Now would be the perfect time to pull away. But my body was too focused on the heat flowing between us and the faint scent of his cologne mixed with sugar, to get the message.
Chapter Six
Iforced myself toact, dipping a free finger in the extra frosting, and aiming a touch for Owen’s cheek.
He captured my other wrist as well. His grip was more solid and tantalizing than my fantasies promised, and now my brain was skipping ahead to the part where he’d pin me to the wall—
“What are you going to do now?” Owen’s tone was teasing mixed with challenge.
