"I made the cupcakes," Layla announced, removing her apron and setting it on the counter. Lucius, just woken from a nap and informed by a maid, strolled into the kitchen. He walked over, picked up a cupcake, and took a bite.
"Mmm... That's delicious," he murmured, licking his lips as he finished it.
"I'll share some with Roger and Aiden, too," Layla said with a smile.
"Wait, why them? I thought these were just for us," Lucius replied, stepping in front of her to keep her from handing over the cupcakes.
"Sharing spreads love," Layla replied with a chuckle. "In a friendly way, of course."
"Then share them with me," Lucius insisted, his tone playful. "Roger and Aiden can buy their own cupcakes if they want some."
"Don't be so childish," she teased.
"They're not even here. I sent them home earlier," he added, though secretly, he wanted to keep the cupcakes all to himself. He picked up another and held it to Layla's lips. She took a small bite.
