Though actually I was relieved , because my paranoid brain had briefly wondered if he'd been stalking me home or something . ... I really admired my overthinking brain . He grinned , hanging his jacket on my chair back while moving around the table to unpack the takeout bags . " Let's eat some pasta first , we have some time before the company people arrive - and I want to watch you eat .

" Seeing my expression , he paused and sighed softly . " I shouldn't have done that , should I ? I thought ... sorry , I didn't mean to overstep . " The word " sorry " didn't seem to come easily to him , but this was the second time in half an hour . " No , I really appreciate your help , " I responded honestly . " Good . Please sit . " " Dominic- " I started to argue , but he pressed a finger gently to my lips , stopping my words . " Don't bite me , " he said with a wink , turning toward my kitchen .

" Thank you , " I said , once again surprised by how effortlessly he seemed to play " domestic boyfriend " as well as his other roles . " I ... really , thank you .
