MR. GRUMPY BILLIONAIRE
CASSIE
A shiver runs down my spine and I pull my bottom lip between my teeth. I wasn't planning on getting all hot and bothered, but Theo brings it out in me.
Clearly.
The way he yanked his tie and those forearms.
I squirm in my seat as I stare the man down. He doesnât wear his signature grumpy face. No, right now heâs donning a sexy smirk at my mention of our hot as hell sex last week. I want to recreate the night, but we have to talk first. Iâm not looking for a hookup. I want something that will last. And Iâm pretty sure we arenât on the same page here.
The thought is enough to break me out of this sexy-lust-haze, so I glance down at my closed tablet and decide if Iâm going to put my big girl panties on and ask to have a conversation, or if Iâm gonna head home unfulfilled.
âWell, if wedding talk is over, then I should go,â I tell him, plastering a smile on my face.
âHave you eaten?â Theo interjects.
âNo,â I reply, glancing up at him. He drums his figures against the counter, his smirk now gone, and Iâm not positive, but he looks frazzled that Iâm leaving.
âStay longer, chat, eat.â
Iâm nodding before I decide, but his answering smile turns me into goo.
âWhat do you want to eat? We can order something, or I can see what I can make.â He motions to the fridge.
âOh, do you cook?â I watch him as he moves around the kitchen and pulls open the fridge again.
âNot exactly. I canât make anything spectacular, to be honest. I can cook for myself when needed. I like to grill, but mostly, I order out,â he says over his shoulder as he lets the fridge door shut and he yanks open the freezer next. âIâve got a cheese stuffed pizza.â He slides out a square cardboard box and wiggles it in the air. He pulls at his collar with his free hand and his cheeks turn slightly pink.
âHow did you know I have a thing for frozen pizza?â I grin.
âYou do not.â
I shake my head. âI really do. I always have at least three in my freezer at all times.â
His eyes narrow as he steps away from the freezer.
âBelieve me, Theo.â I laugh. âDo I think itâs funny Mr. Grumpy Billionaire stocks frozen pizza? Absolutely, but Iâm not judging you for it.â
He sighs. âIâm not a billionaire,â he mutters.
I grin even wider. âI figured youâd have a cook or something.â The bear is fun to poke.
âI did, for a while, but my schedule was so crazy that the lady I hired didnât appreciate having to reheat her food because I wasnât home to eat it.â
I nod in agreement, as if I would understand. âHow often do you eat frozen pizza?â I ask while I watch him preheat the oven. Everything in his kitchen is stainless steel and high quality and while Iâm not a big cook, I dabble, and having the space to cook makes me wish I didnât live in a condo downtown.
