I took a bite, the perfectly poached egg bursting in my mouth. Despite my nervousness, I had to admit the food was incredible.
Alexander’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Enjoying your breakfast?” His eyes glinted with amusement as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me.
“Yes, it’s delicious,” I replied, focusing on my plate.
“Good. I like watching you eat.” He took a leisurely sip of his coffee, his gaze never leaving me. Especially when you’re trying so hard to concentrate.”
Heat crept up my neck again. “It’s just really good food,” I said, steadying my voice.
He smirked. “Is that so? Or are you just avoiding looking at me because you remember what we
started in the car earlier?”
I swallowed hard, refusing to rise to his bait. Instead, I took another bite of my eggs benedict.

“We left something unfinished back there.” His foot brushed against my leg again under the table. ” I’m more than willing to continue now.”
“Mr. Knight,” I warned softly, glancing around the restaurant.
He chuckled. “Relax, Madison. We’re in a private booth. No one can hear us.”
His words did little to calm my racing heart. The thought of anyone overhearing our conversation
made me squirm in my seat.
“Are you wet now?” His voice was a low growl filled with dark promise.
I took a deep breath and focused on my food, refusing to let him see how much his words affected me. But I couldn’t deny the way my body reacted to him – my pussy grew wetter with every word he spoke.
“We’re in a restaurant,” I reminded him, trying to keep my tone firm.
“So?” He leaned back in his chair, looking completely at ease. “It’s not like I’m going to fuck you on the table.” His eyes sparkled with mischief. “Unless that’s what you want.”
His boldness stole my breath. “No,” I said, though the thought sent shivers through me.
“Then tell me,” he said, his voice silky smooth. “How wet are you right now?”
I stabbed a piece of fruit with my fork, trying to focus on eating instead of the heat creeping up my

neck. The flavors burst in my mouth but couldn’t distract me from his gaze.

“Do you want me to find out for myself?” His eyes sparkled with mischief, and I could feel the intensity of his stare burning into me.
I shifted in my seat, determined to maintain some semblance of composure. “I’m trying to eat
breakfast.”
He chuckled softly. “I expect more than just silence from you. There’s no thrill if I can’t hear how much you enjoy it.”
My eyes flicked up to meet his, and he continued. “Sex is about participation. It’s no fun if you’re just a passive participant. I want to hear you. Feel you responding to me. I need to know what you like, what drives you wild.”
I bit my lip, fighting the urge to look away.
“You can’t just rely on me to read your mind,” he said, leaning forward again. “Tell me what you need in bed. If you want it harder, faster, slower… anything. I want us both to enjoy this.”
His words sent a shiver down my spine, and I swallowed hard. The truth was that his confidence and openness made it difficult for me to stay reserved.
“You’re thinking about it now, aren’t you?” He smirked, knowing exactly what effect he had on me. About how good it feels when I touch you and when I make you come.”
I took a sip of water, trying to cool my burning cheeks. “I’m thinking about my breakfast.”
“Liar. Your pupils are dilated, and you keep shifting in your seat.”
“Maybe I’m just uncomfortable with this conversation in public.”
His laugh was dark and rich. “We both know that’s not true. You love the thrill of it.”
I stabbed another piece of fruit, avoiding his intense gaze. “This is just business, Mr. Knight. An arrangement.”
“Is that so?” He set down his coffee cup, his eyes darkening. “Let me refresh your memory about our arrangement. You agreed to be my girlfriend for one year. Not my escort, not my mistress – my girlfriend.”
I popped the fruit in my mouth, buying time to compose myself. Of course, I remembered. How could I forget? The contract might as well have been tattooed on my brain. One year of being his girlfriend in exchange for my mother’s medical care. Simple. Clean. Temporary.
“I haven’t forgotten,” I said, steadying my voice.

“Then why do you keep treating this like some cold business transaction?”
Because that’s exactly what it was. Because in twelve months, this would all be over. Because getting emotionally invested would be the stupidest thing I could do. I’d seen enough romance movies to know how that ended – the poor girl falling for the rich playboy, only to get her heart broken.
But I couldn’t say any of that out loud. Instead, I focused on cutting my eggs benedict into precise triangles.
“Madison.” His commanding voice made my insides liquify. “Look at me.”
I raised my eyes to meet his, fighting to keep my expression neutral despite the heat pooling between my legs.
“You’re my girlfriend. I’m your boyfriend. For one year, you belong to me – exclusively.” His lips curved into that dangerous smile that promised sinful things. “The sooner you accept that the more pleasurable this arrangement will be for both of us.‘
The way he said ‘pleasurable‘ made my thighs clench involuntarily. Images of our morning activities flashed through my mind – his hands on my body, his mouth on my skin, the way he’d made me scream his name.
“I understand the terms.” I kept my voice steady despite the way his eyes seemed to devour me
across the table.
“Good.” He took a sip of his coffee, those eyes never leaving mine. “If you feel one year isn’t sufficient, we could always discuss extending our arrangement.
My fork paused halfway to my mouth. “One year is sufficient, Mr. Knight.” The words came out sharper than I intended, but prolonging this dangerous dance made my stomach flip. Not because I didn’t want him – God knows my body betrayed me every time he was near – but because I couldn’t risk getting more attached than I already was. Each touch, each kiss, each heated moment between us chipped away at my resolve.
“Are you sure?” His lips curved into that infuriatingly sexy smirk. “The offer stands if you change your mind. I’d be more than happy to extend our agreement.”
The way he said ‘extend‘ made it sound like a sin wrapped in silk. “I won’t be extending anything.”
“If you say so.” His tone carried a hint of amusement like he knew something I didn’t.
We finished our breakfast in silence, but his eyes… Those eyes never left me. Every time I glanced up, I caught him watching me with an intensity that made heat pool between my legs. He looked at me like I was dessert and he was starving.
I tried to focus on my food, but my hands trembled slightly as I cut into my eggs. The weight of his

stare made my skin prickle with awareness. His eyes darkened when I licked a drop of hollandaise sauce from my lip, and I swore I heard him growl.
My face burned as I remembered how those same eyes had watched me writhe beneath him just an hour
ago. How his hands had gripped my hips, his mouth had claimed every inch of my skin…
I shifted in my seat, pressing my thighs together to relieve the growing ache. Damn him. Even without touching me, he had my body responding like a well–tuned instrument.
The remainder of breakfast felt like sweet torture, with every bite I took becoming an unwitting performance for his hungry gaze. And judging by his satisfied smirk, he knew exactly what he was doing to me.
