I let the coffee fill the cup as my phone vibrated in my back pocket. I grinned when I noticed it was Robin, which also meant it could be Tay too since they lived with one another.
"You're up early." I laughed.
"Tay's brother is here, and you know how he is in the morning." Robin yawned.
"How is Jack doing?" I inquired.
"Like any other five year old... lively." She sighed.
"Why don't you bring him over today with Tay?" I questioned, in hopes shewould agree so I could finally have some girl time.
"That sounds awesome! Will Lorenzo mind?" she asked.
"He's out today, according to Emmet.Come over at lunchtime." I smiled.
"Perfect, I'llsee you soon!I love you!" she squealed as I hung up the phone and returned my focus to Lorenzo's coffee.
I retrieved a small tray from the cabinet and loaded on hiscoffee, asugar dish, milk, and a spoon. Maybe it was a little excessive, but I wanted him to know I was making an effort, and I thought he would want tooas well. If things went southand he felt the need toopen that vile mouth of his, he could always wear the coffee instead of drinking it.
I made my way to his bedroom and tapped on the door loud enough to be heard but there was no response. I confidently entered without his permission as I half expected him tostill be asleep, but he was nowhere to be seen. I placed the tray on the dresser by the window.
“Is that coffee for me?” Lorenzo asked in a low voice from behind me.
I turned as I locked eyes with the man who stood before me in only a towel sitting low on his hips. I couldn’t help but notice the water as it trickled down his body fresh from the shower.
“Anastacia?” he asked.
“Sorry, yes, the coffee is for you.” I smiled. “Think of it as a thank you for last night, that’s all. Don’t read too much into it,” I replied.
“That’s quite a thank you.” He smirked.
“Not really, it’s just a coffee.”
“It’s more than that. You brought everything up here so I could drink it exactly the way I like it.” He smiled that cocky smile.
He closed the distance between us almost instantly, his body suddenly towering over mine.
“How about I teach you how to make my coffee?” he asked as he spun me around to face the tray.
“What do I look like to you?” I scoffed.
“You look like my fiancée. Now, add in half a spoonful of sugar,” he ordered.
“Bite me,” I snapped quietly.
“I plan to,” he whispered against my ear. “Be a good girl and add in half a spoonful of sugar.”
He slowly trailed his fingertips down my bare arm as he took my hand in his. He moved them both in sync over to the sugar bowl before spooning in his required amount. He continued guiding me like a puppet as we reached for the milk, letting a small amount fall into the cup. He picked up the spoon and slowly stirred his coffee.
“That’s how your fiancé likes his coffee in the morning,” he whispered against my skin.
“This was a one-time thing; it will never happen again.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Don’t you want to please your man?” he asked, his lips trailing up my neck as he spoke.
“No, I have no desire to please you,” I replied.
“We’ll see about that, won’t we?” He spun me around. His gaze burned into mine and I couldn’t deny the chemistry I felt, despite him being a complete and utter dick.
