“It’s good.” Declan shuts his eyes as he takes another bite.
To most people, good is a basic compliment, but from Declan, it’s considered high praise.
“Sogood.” Iris licks her fork clean.
My cheeks ache from how hard I smile.
“Told you my girl could bake.” Cal wraps his arm around the back of my chair.
I swear, every single time he calls me his girl, my heart skips a beat before returning to its normal programming.
“We could definitely have something like this in our shops.” Rowan assesses the cake on the stand from all angles.
My breath catches. “Really?”
“How much do you charge?” The change in him is instant as he switches from family man to business entrepreneur.
“Umm…nothing?”
“Hmm.” Declan’s gaze slides from me to his brother.
“What?” I blurt out.
“Name a price.” Rowan neatly places his spoon beside his plate.
“For a cake? Why?” I look over to Cal for help, but he remains aloof. If it weren’t for the way his fingers stopped twirling my hair, I wouldn’t think he was actively listening.
Rowan’s eyes connect with mine. “Because I’m interested in buying your recipe.”
“What for?”
“We’ve been considering expanding our Princess Marianna section in the park, and I want this to be a part of it.”
The room spins around me as I take in everything he is saying.
“So, name a price.” He folds his hands over his lap.
Cal pulls me closer and whispers in my ear, “Tell him you’ll think about it.”
My brows furrow. “But—”
“It will only make him want it more. Trust me.”
This calculating version of Cal isn’t one I’m used to, and it’s a major turn-on. Naturally, I listen to him. “I’ll need to get back to you.”
Rowan’s lips press together. “I’ll give you a million.”
My eyes widen. “For a recipe?”
Cal shakes his head ever so slightly.
Rowan glares at him. “Stop influencing her.”
“I will when you stop giving her bad offers. The park makes about twenty million in a single day, and a good chunk of that comes from food and beverages. With how many people come through the golden gates ready to open their wallets and their stomachs, Alana deserves more. And don’t think I forgot how much you spent on buying that secret Hawaiian frozen drink recipe.”
My mouth drops open.
Damn.Where has this business savvy Cal been hiding my whole life and how soon can I fuck him?
