His big round eyes shimmered like he might cry, but his tail wagged nonstop.<\/p>\n<p>My heart softened. I bent down and stroked his soft fur. \u201cGood boy, Puddy. It\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luis strolled over casually, his tone lazy. \u201cYou\u2019d crush her if you jumped like that. Don\u2019t you know how heavy you are?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWoof, woof!\u201d Puddy barked back, as if to argue.<\/p>\n<p>I frowned at Luis. \u201cDon\u2019t be mean to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMean?\u201d Luis chuckled. \u201cDo you even know how heavy you are?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m the standard size!\u201d I glared at him, annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>He always teased me about being too thin.<\/p>\n<p>Didn\u2019t he realize that at five\u2013foot\u2013five and about 105 pounds, my size is totally normal?<\/p>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<p>Luis\u2019s sleazy gaze slid slowly over my waist. He leaned close to my ear, voice dropping low. \u201cYeah, pretty standard. Especially when you\u2019re in my arms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My ears burned at his words.<\/p>\n<p>I started to turn my face away, but before I could, he naturally took my hand.<\/p>\n<p>His palm was big and firm, wrapping completely around mine.<\/p>\n<p>My hand grew sweaty in an instant. I tried to pull away, but he laced his fingers through mine, locking us together.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d never held hands with anyone like this before.<\/p>\n<p>It felt so close, so much like a real couple, my heart skipped faster and faster.<\/p>\n<p>Luis glanced down at me, teasing. \u201cHot?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1\/2<\/p>\n<p>22<\/p>\n<p>2:02 am \u25b8<\/p>\n<p>WW<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 66 Holding Hands<\/p>\n<p>$20 Free Cons<\/p>\n<p>I shot him a glare.<\/p>\n<p>He was definitely doing this on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just hungry,\u201d I muttered, turning my face aside. But I didn\u2019t pull my hand away again.<\/p>\n<p>Luis gave a low chuckle and kept walking, leading me toward the house. Puddy trotted happily behind us.<\/p>\n<p>When I stepped into the dining room, I froze for a second.<\/p>\n<p>A long rectangular table was set with a hearty meal, everything looking rich and smelling amazing.<\/p>\n<p>I swallowed hard. \u201cYou made this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He gave me a teasing look. \u201cDidn\u2019t know what you liked, so I just threw something together. But I made plenty of steak this time. You won\u2019t have to fight Puddy for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never fought Puddy!\u201d I blurted.<\/p>\n<p>All I did last time was eat a few extra pieces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, alright, my mistake.\u201d Luis laughed as he pulled out a chair for me.<\/p>\n<p>He sat down, without missing a beat, and picked up a plate. With steady hands, he chose several slices of perfectly seared steak and piled them high.<\/p>\n<p>Then he bent down and set the full plate on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Fluffy little Puddy trotted over, tail wagging, and sat neatly beside us before digging into the meal with happy snorts.<\/p>\n<p>I started eating in silence, sneaking glances at Luis. His long fingers moved with care as he handled a crab\u2013cracking tool, patiently working out the meat.<\/p>\n<p>Truth was, I liked crab.<\/p>\n<p>But it was messy, and I didn\u2019t want to look clumsy in front of an alpha like him, so I usually skipped it.<\/p>\n<p>Luis, though, worked with skill. His movements were smooth, elegant, and almost relaxing to watch. Without realizing it, I stared a little too long.<\/p>\n<p>Before I could turn away, he set a small marble plate in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>It was filled with the fresh, delicate crab meat he had just pulled out himself.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Lili is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
