“I’m sure everything will work itself out,” Laik assured. “All done.” He set her foot down.
“Thank you for your help,” she whispered as she got lost in his gaze again. Damn him and his amazing eyes.
“My pleasure. Let me clean this glass up and then I’ll whip you up something to eat. Stay right there,” he said as he went to the corner and grabbed the broom and dustpan. He swept the broken pieces into a pile, then crouched down, collecting the shards on the dustpan. He gathered her crispy pastries from the counter and tossed them out with the shattered glass.
Elly bit her lip as she watched him. Laik seemed perfect, but then again, so had Ian when she’d first started working for him. She just hadn’t realized how big of a creeper he was until it was too late. What if she was wrong about Laik too? “What can I make you?” Laik offered as he stopped back in front of her.
Elly opened her mouth and let out a breath. Her belly rumbled at the prospect of food, but if she were going to follow her own rules, she’d be better off going back to bed. There was probably a granola bar or something stashed in there anyway.
“Thanks, but I think I just want to go to bed.” She shoved off the counter, but her feet never touched the floor.
Laik whisked her into the air and carried her to her bedroom, setting her on the plush mattress.
She blinked up at him, surprised by his actions. Men like Laik weren’t real. They only existed in fairy tales. He was too perfect. There had to be something wrong with him and she wasn’t going to find out what it was. Bad luck followed her everywhere. She wasn’t going to risk a relationship with anyone right now.
“Sweet dreams, Elly,” he breathed.
“Thank you for all your help tonight,” she told him.
Laik reached out and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. He licked his lips as his mouth inched toward hers. Elly gasped in a ragged breath letting her lips part in anticipation. She shouldn’t kiss him, but God, she wanted to.
Laik blinked, shook his head and strolled out of her room, tugging the door shut behind him.
Elly flopped back on her bed as the door clicked shut. What the hell just happened with Laik?
