Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 364

Casey glanced sideways at the woman next to him, a crooked smile playing on his lips. “Relax. You’re not getting that chance.”

James leaned in a little, his eyes lingering on Madeline, dark and magnetic. “You sure about that, Madeline?”

Casey lowered his gaze at her, silent but intense, making it very clear that if she was going to say yes, he’d have her on the next flight back to Country Y. The tension was almost funny, if it wasn’t so overwhelming.

Madeline suddenly found herself the focus of both their stares. She pressed her lips together and shook her head. “Seriously, you two just met and you’re already at each other’s throats. You’re not getting the chance. And you, you’re not my boyfriend.”

“Alright, cut it out. I don’t need anyone waiting around as my backup.”

James just smiled, completely unfazed. “That’s fine. You know how I am. The more you push me away, the more determined I get. Turn me down all you want.”

Madeline couldn’t help but smile a little. James really hadn’t changed at all.
