everything in her fridge or to the baked goods that she d baked for a friend and had
accidentally left on the counter, unattended for a minute or two, not realizing that one
of them was in the house.
Now that he thought about it, he didn t really understand why she even bothered to
get upset anymore. After all this time and with all her boys, she really should be used
to food and entire meals disappearing as soon as she turned her back. She d known
what she was getting into when she d married his father, so really, she should learn to
let these types of things go.
She d be a hell of a lot happier if she did, he absently noted as he watched his little
baker walk into the kitchen with an exasperated sigh and a smile that she just
couldn t hide. This woman loved cooking for him, and why shouldn t she? He wasn t on
any diet restrictions and would happily eat anything that she put in front of him.
I see that you cleaned out the fridge, too, she said, but once again he d like to point
out that she didn t sound mad or upset, just resigned to the fact that whenever he was
around, she d probably have to make multiple trips to the grocery store every week.
Since she had to do that anyway for the bakery, it probably wouldn t bother her to add
a few extra groceries to the mix for him. Then again, all she would have to do was
give him a list of what she needed and he would make sure that he got double of
everything that she wanted.
Sorry, he said with a sheepish shrug, but I got hungry.
She shrugged it off like it was no big deal and to a Bradford that was a huge fucking
turn on, his cock, that had started to go down once Duncan s attention shifted to
grocery trips stood back up at attention and agreed. There was definitely nothing
sexier than a woman who didn t flip out because he needed a light snack.
He moved to show her exactly how sexy he found all of this when she went ahead and
said the one thing that nearly dropped him to his knees.
That s okay, because when we were at the store yesterday, a nice elderly couple was
telling me about this new buffet not far from here that serves breakfast all day so I
figured that& .Duncan, are you okay? she asked as her words trailed off, sounding
concerned. Again, not that he could blame her since she did have over two hundred
pounds of muscle wrapped around her waist.
I m fine, he swore, closing his eyes and holding her tight as he thanked God for
sending him a woman like her.

Just act cool, Duncan said, giving her hand a gentle squeeze of assurance as he shot
another discreet glance around the large restaurant while she stood there, trying not
to yawn.
She was so tired, she thought with a smile when all she should be doing is grumbling
and bitching that she wanted to go back to bed, but that would probably lead to
exhaustion and eventually a stay at the hospital where she would probably have to
explain how she d managed to get exhausted and dehydrated by going to bed.
That definitely was not a conversation that she wanted to go on record, so instead she
stood there, taking in the delicious aromas of scrambled eggs, toast and bacon. She
loved to cook and had a very high level of expectation when it came to her food, but
every now and then she liked to slum it up a bit and eat at places like this.
No, she wasn t a snob, not in the least, but sometimes she liked to sit down and enjoy
a simple meal without having to worry about how it was made, who made it and what
should have been done to improve it. Basically, she just enjoyed a little bit of fast food
now and then as an escape from her own impossibly high standards.
Do you see a banned list? he asked suddenly, drawing her attention to the fact that
he was now wearing sunglasses and staring intently at the brown tiled floor.
Frowning, she looked around as she repeated back in a mumble, A banned list?
Shhh! You ll give us away! he said in a harsh whisper as he reached back and rubbed
his neck nervously while risking a glance at the cashier and manager before averting
his eyes back to the floor and giving her, her first clue that there just might be
something a bit off about Duncan.
Ookay, she said, stretching out the word and wondering where all this paranoia was
coming from suddenly.
That is until she saw it&
By the time she d read through the list twice, she decided that she definitely needed to
use bathroom and splash some cold water on her face. As she excused herself, she
