“Breast milk. Happy to extract myself.” His teeth catch his bottom lip in that naughty way he does.

“I don’t have any breast milk.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m not a lactating mother, you sicko.”

He gives me a slow sexy smile. “In exchange, I could give you some cream for your coffee?”

“Really?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Do you have enough?”

“Ample. Two big vats of the stuff.”

I try to keep a straight face. I like this game.

“I don’t like cream in my coffee. It curdles.”

“It’s a delicacy.”

I know.

“Are you sure?” He raises an eyebrow.

“Positive.”

“Oh . . . shame.” He gives me a cheeky smile, and it’s all I can do not to drag him upstairs. Playful Henley is so very hard to resist.

“So . . .” He rocks up onto his toes.

“Actually, I do know where you could get some of the milk you’re after.” I act serious.

“You do?” His eyes flick around. “Where . . . upstairs?”

“Across the road at Taryn’s. Huge milk factory, full production.”

He looks at me, deadpan. “That’s not the milk I’m after, Juliet.”

“That’s not what I heard.”

“I’m after a specialty boutique kind of milk only served here.”

“This boutique is members only.”

“Seems a shame to put a label on the factory, therefore nobody gets to drink it.”

“Oh, you needn’t worry.” I fake a smile. “There’s people lining up for a membership.”

“Like who?”

“My milk is no longer any of your concern, Mr. James.”

He rolls his eyes, and I push his shoulder toward the front door. “I only said that—”

I cut him off. “I know.”
