Baron froze for a moment, his heart giving a sudden thump when he met Natalie’s eyes.

“What is it?”

“I want to kiss you.”

L

Her words made his eyes fly wide.

He’d always known Natalie to be a little old–fashioned and reserved, the kind of woman who blushed just from a kiss at home–yet now she was saying this outside.

“What did you just say?”

Baron thought maybe he’d misheard.

The next second, Natalie cupped his face in her hands, and her hot lips pressed against his.

His throat worked as he swallowed, the jelly–soft touch breaking his control. He clamped his arm around her waist, pulling her sharply up onto the desk, turning from passive to active in an instant as the air around them shattered.

Natalie had only meant to give him a comforting kiss, but now she was completely swallowed by his wildness. The suffocating heat made her clutch his collar desperately–only for the fabric to rip open under her grip, the buttons scattering across the floor with a sharp clatter…

Both of them froze.

Baron’s eyes burned with a storm.

Startled, Natalie looked at what she’d done and flushed scarlet.

“I want to go home. The kids are waiting–mmm…”

Before she could finish, Baron’s hand caught her, and his scorching, forceful kiss swept away every breath she had.

Whatever else she’d been about to say, he gave her no chance at all.

She felt like every bit of air in her lungs was being pulled away by him, her legs going weak, her heart pounding like thunder.

“Baron…”

Her voice was hoarse and breathy, tinged with both shyness and a helpless sweetness.

His throat bobbed as he forced his voice lower. “Mrs. Gunn, today is our wedding registration day. Can I take you to the bridal chamber tonight?”

The question left her stunned, unsure how to answer–but within it she heard his caution, his

respect.

She knew with certainty that if she said no, no matter how hard it was for him, Baron would never cross the line.

That thought made her ache for him.

“What about the children?”

She still didn’t refuse outright.

The light in his eyes flared. He knew he had a chance.

“Let Shauna watch them for two days. Besides, they can’t appear in public yet. I haven’t perfected the protection measures for them.”

It wasn’t just an excuse.

Natalie thought for a moment, then nodded.

“Here?”

“Ahem. Mrs. Gunn, you’re a wild one, huh? There are cameras everywhere down here. You sure you want it here?”

Before he finished, she stomped on his foot.

“Ahh–you’re murdering your husband!”

Baron toppled forward into her arms, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying himself in her scent.

Natalie nearly laughed in exasperation.

“Baron, if your men saw you like this, would you still have any dignity left as a crime lord?”

“I don’t care. I’m not the one afraid to look–they’re the ones afraid to watch.”

“Get off! You’re heavy.”

“Let me hold you a little longer.”

He muttered into her, his face full of contentment.
