�You know how to cook a seafood barbecue?� Leia burst out laughing when she heard that. �Are you sure you won�t burn down your cottage?� She remembered how he had nearly blown up the kitchen the first time he cooked for her.

Despite her teasing, Xavier maintained his composure. He walked up to Leia with a sly smile and said, �If I don�t burn my cottage down, how else would I get to stay with you?�

�Dream on!� Leia scoffed as she pushed Xavier away,

"You�re shamelessness is just getting worse! You can�t stay in my house, so get out!� She knew how reckless and impulsive Xavier could be, so she wanted to keep her distance from him. If he kissed her again, she wouldn�t be able to handle it.

She wasn�t going to let him get away with his cunning schemes.

Grinning, Xavier said, �Remember what you said, okay? Don�t come crying and begging me later.�

The other guests watched Leia and Xavier excitedly and teased them.

�Wow, this is totally a �dominant president falls in love� romance. Miss Osborne, stop running away and just accept him!�

�I think we should rename our show to something like �She Can�t Escape���

�Mr. Stuart, you�d better stay here. After all, you guys are partners, so it doesn�t matter where you stay!�

Leia sighed exasperatedly and massaged her aching temples. �Stop encouraging him. This guy is a ticking time bomb, and he just might come after you all too. Anyway, shouldn�t you guys be siding with me instead of this creep?�

�Well, it is scary out here!� Smiling, Megan looked at Xavier dreamily.

�A perfect guy like Mr. Stuart wouldn�t do anything to us, so we�ve got to cozy up to him, right?� Angel and Luna nodded vigorously.

�Exactly. Mr. Stuart is our Prince Charming, so it makes perfect sense to choose him.� Luna gazed at Xavier fervently.

The usually aloof Angel had given in to Xavier�s charms too.

"Only a real man is brave enough to pursue his beloved. I�m sure he�s quite a sensitive person on the inside though.�

Flabbergasted, Leia wondered if they had gone mad. How could someone like Xavier be their Prince Charming? Were they blind?

Xavier basked in their praises, then said to Leia smugly,

�I�ve tried to keep a low profile, but I can�t help that I�m naturally charming.�

His words made Leia grit her teeth. �Does anyone have a gun? I�m going to kill him!� JrNovels.com
