You were leaning casually against the counter, lost in thought, when you felt someone’s gaze on you. Looking up, you found Cordell standing a few feet away, his eyes fixed on you with “Can I buy you a drink?” There was a playful edge to his tone, but the way he looked at you his eyes sweeping over your figure, taking in every detail. You raised an eyebrow, meeting his gaze with a slight smile. “Depends. What’s on the menu?” You had a teasing tone in your voice. “Whatever you want, darlin’.” You tilted your head, considering his offer. The way he studied you, his attention unwavering, made you feel like you were the only person in the room. It was a feeling that was hard to resist.
