Anya's Point of View: "What would you like to eat?" I asked Marcus after he suggested we have a meal together, having mentioned he was hungry after everything that happened at the office. "You," he replied, his voice teasing. I rolled my eyes, not taking him seriously. "Hey! I mean it. I want to eat you," he added with a mischievous grin. "Marcus!" I scolded, my face flushing. He only laughed, and it made me smile. His laughter was contagious, and hearing it made me feel happy. "Fine. Anything works," he said, shrugging. I walked over to the sink and started gathering ingredients. What should I cook? Maybe pancakes? I hoped they had the ingredients here. Suddenly, I felt Marcus’s hands wrap around my waist, pulling me closer as he buried his face in my neck. "What are you cooking?"
