Chapter 16

Juliet never imagined that one day she’d find herself staring, mesmerized, at a man’s… butt.
Asher had a great figure too, with honey-toned skin and defined muscles that looked especially seductive under the warm bedside lighting. His cold, aloof face paired with his strong physique gave off a powerful sense of masculinity.
He had a broad frame with explosive strength. Getting involved with a wolfish man like that, both physically and emotionally, was enough to wear a woman down. But a gentleman like Zachary might be a completely different kind of experience.
“Done?”
Juliet snapped back to reality, her ears flushing bright red. “Done,” she blurted, then hurriedly turned to open the fridge, trying to hide the loud pounding of her heartbeat. She’d really lost her mind, thinking about Zach like that.
“Mmm,” Zachary responded softly. His voice was low, grazing her ears in an inexplicably pleasant way. With a voice like that, Zach could’ve been a top-tier voice actor.
The kitchen was just too small. With two people inside, even turning around felt cramped. Juliet washed the vegetables while Zachary handled the knife and the stove.
“Zach, do you cook often?”
“Sometimes.’
His knife work was excellent. The vegetables were all delicately and evenly cut.
“I live alone. I can’t eat takeout every day. And I’m not used to having strangers Pass me the soy sauce.”

“Oh, I see.” Juliet snapped back to herself and turned to grab the soy sauce bottle, which was on a rack in the corner. Just as she reached out, Zachary also turned sideways to grab the cooking wine.
Without warning, his chest pressed against her back. A wave of male heat enveloped her. Through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel the steady, powerful heartbeat in his chest.
His warm breath brushed her ear, causing her to freeze completely. Time seemed to stop.
“Where’s the sugar?” Zachary didn’t seem to notice how close they were. He had taken the cooking wine and was now looking for sugar.

“On the top shelf.”
Still facing away from him, Juliet’s cheeks burned. Her hand holding the soy sauce trembled slightly. Her heart raced, refusing to calm down.
Soon, the delicious aroma of barbecue sauce for the pork ribs filled the kitchen. Zachary tasted the sauce and frowned slightly. “It’s missing a bit of tanginess.”
He picked up the bottle of apple cider vinegar, then glanced at Juliet, who was distractedly washing tomatoes. Scooping up a spoonful of sauce, he held it to her lips. “Try it. Tell me if it’s missing anything.”
Juliet froze, then instinctively opened her mouth. The warm, sweet, and tangy sauce slid in.
Only then did she realize what she’d just done. She had just eaten something Zachary fed her.
“How is it?” Zachary’s eyes reflected her flustered expression.
“It’s fine. The balance is perfect.”
Juliet lowered her gaze, not daring to look at him again.
Zachary had been good-looking since young. He had the kind of face that could stun you at first glance.
His mother was Gefonian, angelically beautiful. His father was strikingly handsome, exceptional even among Halven men. He inherited both Halven elegance and Gefonian bone structure, with slender brows, a high nose bridge, and a mix of cool sharpness and gentle warmth that was very alluring.
Just then, a warm hand touched Juliet’s forehead, and that dangerously beautiful face moved in close before her eyes.
