СКАЧАТЬ pointed at him with a pen. “For now, I’ll pay you cash at the end of each week. If you stay longer than a month, I’ll need to put you on the payroll.”

      “Fair enough.” The tiny muscles at the edges of his eyelids softened. Straightening, Luke crossed his arms over his chest, framing the impressive pecs molded by his soft Henley. “So I have a month in Pineville. How about a truce?”

      Allison considered. It hadn’t been Luke’s fault that she’d looked like an idiot at their first meeting. And a month was a long time to snipe with someone in the kitchen. Tentatively, she stretched her arm across the desk. “Truce.”

      His big hand enveloped hers. He brushed her thumb with his own. “Great. As the new man in town, I’m going to need some advice on what there is to do. Maybe a guided tour?”

      Allison pressed her lips into a firm line, ignoring the flutters in her belly. “That offer expired the first time you said no to it.”

      “I didn’t think I’d be in town long enough to enjoy all Pineville had to offer that day we met.” Luke pulled on her hand, slowly reeling her closer.

      Just because she was burying the hatchet didn’t mean she had to buy his bull. She tugged her hand free. “Cool your jets, hot shot. This is purely a business relationship.”

      “This is a small-town diner. Your stock isn’t going to drop if you have a bit of fun with your newest employee.” His eyes raked her body, taking in every curve.

      She swallowed and rose to her feet. Staying seated while he stared down at her looking like he wanted to…well, eat her up, wasn’t a strong authority position. Since this man now worked for her, he was off-limits. Her stomach quivered.

      No. No, making him the forbidden fruit. He might be sexy, but he was also an arrogant know-it-all. At this stage in her life, she wanted someone she could settle down with, not tear up the sheets. She thrust her shoulders back, realizing too late it could look like she was shoving her D cups in his face. Fighting the heat crawling up her neck, she said, “If you want a tour, my advice would be to visit the tourist bureau. They have information on the sights to see. The holidays are a busy season for me, more so with Sadie’s wedding. I don’t have time for anything else. Got it?”

      He nodded slowly, but Allison didn’t believe him. The tilt to his full lips was impish, as if she was a challenge he couldn’t wait to take on. The moment he spoke, she knew she was right. “I get it. You own a restaurant; you’re busy.” Sauntering to the door, he waited until he was just outside before hitting her with his parting shot.

      “But a month is a long time. You won’t always be busy. And I’ll be waiting.”
