Bonnie raised her brows and questioned, “What, do you want to take advantage of me at my place?”
When she said that, Ivor smirked. “What’s wrong? Can’t I do that?”
She looked into his eyes and slowly said, “You may. Not.”
Since it was Valentine’s Day, she knew she would end up sleeping with him if he visited her place. She would not grant his wishes at a time like this.
“Why?” Ivor stared at Bonnie with a hint of pity in his eyes. “I can cook and look after you when I’m there. That sounds lovely, right? So, what do you say?”
She pushed him away as he leaned closer. She could not explain it, but he looked a little adorable. Then, she smiled and said, “I can cook and look after myself. I don’t need you to do all that.”
After some thought, Ivor resumed his pitiful tone, “Well, you won’t have to do it yourself if I’m there. I swear I’ll care for you and make you feel good. It’s just for tonight, Bonnie.”
His eyes brimmed with affection, and his voice was full of love as he added, “I want to spend this special day with you.”
Bonnie pursed her lips and glanced at him, unable to reject him. After some hesitation, she finally nodded in agreement. “I guess you can come over, especially because you look so sincere.
“Still, you must promise you’re only coming to cook and look after me. You’re not allowed to do anything else.”
