Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1069

Without waiting for her response, he leaned in closer and murmured in her ear, "It's the date we first slept together."

Boom. Something instantly exploded in Noreen's mind.

Why would he remember something like that?!

He was out of his mind!

Seeing that even her ears were burning crimson with embarrassment, Seth knew he had to stop teasing her.

If he pushed too far and made her run off, he'd be the one suffering.

So he laced his fingers through hers, pulling her hand tightly against his, before unlocking the door. "Miss Gilmore, welcome to my world."

This wasn't her first time here; she had come inside the last time she dropped him off.

But this time felt entirely different.

It felt as though she was truly entering his inner sanctuary.

Nothing had really changed in the apartment.

Everything felt just like it did in the past.

Except for the wall that used to be covered in sticky notes about him, now, every single note was about her.

Her likes and dislikes.

Her schedule.

Reminders for things she needed to handle recently.

Noreen's fingers gently brushed over the notes, imagining the serious expression on his face as he meticulously wrote each one.

He must have been incredibly focused.

Just like she had been, all those years ago.

The clock on the wall was nearing midnight.

Noreen figured that they had spent too much time messing around.

There was no way they were eating cake tonight.

*Forget it, there's always next time.*

She pressed her lips together, quietly swallowing a sliver of disappointment. It was a spontaneous idea anyway. She couldn't realistically expect him to bake one from scratch right now.

Plus, he had been waiting downstairs all night. He was exhausted and needed to rest.

Just as Noreen formed the thought, she turned to tell Seth.

But she saw him walking out of the kitchen, carefully holding a finished cake.
