I sipped my wine to hide a smile. “Right, well, if I work for you—and that’s a big if—it will be professional. Hands off.”

His pout was cute, but I ignored it. “Come on. Help me clean up, then you can get the hell out of my house.”

“What happened to treating a guest like royalty?” he asked while putting away food.
