“If this is your idea of a joke,” Ambrose muttered, scowling down at himself, “it’s not funny.”

I snickered into the back of my hand while he continued to glare at the black apron he wore. There were already several white, powdery imprints across the surface from his first fight with the bags of flour. I’d never seen someone make a mess so quickly in the kitchen before. Witnessing the chink in the devil’s armor had been well worth the price of admission.

It only cost me an embarrassing story that I wished would stay in the past where I’d left it.

“You’re the one who was so sure you could pour the flour without help,” I reminded him, grinning as I whipped more batter. “If you didn’t know what the hell you were doing, you should’ve just said so.”

He grunted, refusing to answer. Not that I needed one. The almost petulant tilt to his lips told me he was not happy about being caught off guard. Too bad, so sad.

“Don’t give me that look,” I said. “It’s your fault I have a buttload of nervous energy to work through. And I’m not the go for a jog type of girl. Baking relaxes me.”

“How the hell does all of this”—he waved a hand at the ingredients spread across the marble counter—”relax you? This place looks like a warzone.”

“What warzones have you been to? I’m pretty sure they don’t usually involve frosting or strawberries.” I paused, then wagged my brows at him. “Unless you’ve been to some real freaky scenes I should know about.”

I didn’t think it was possible, but he managed to narrow his eyes even more. They were going to get stuck like that at some point. I wouldn’t be the one to warn him. When it happened, the first thing I’d do was grab my phone and get a selfie. Maybe I’d frame it and hang it on a wall. Or print it out and plaster it across the school. The captions wrote themselves.

Grumpy jerk gets what he deserves.

Devil reveals his true face.

Make sure to point and laugh.

I giggled to myself as I pointed to the first set of cupcake tins. “Pass those this way, will you? Make yourself useful.”

“You’re not funny.”

That didn’t stop him from doing as I asked. Part of me expected the ground to fall out from underneath me with him being so cooperative. Then again, if the world was going to end it probably would’ve done so earlier.

When I let him kiss me.

When we cuddled in his bed.

When I put on one of his too-big-for-me t-shirts and a pair of shorts to come downstairs and bake together like we were an item or something.

Sure, we were getting along alright at the moment. I placed that solely at the feet of good sex. Alright, who was I kidding? Fucking great sex. Mind-numbing, firework-exploding, life-changing sex.

Or was I talking about the kiss?

Ambrose leaned against the counter beside me, looking good enough to eat. I wasn’t just saying that because I was hungry, either.
