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 | 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. | 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 crlord?”
“I don’t care. I'm not the one afraid to look-they’re the ones afraid to watch.”
“Get off! You're heavy.”

“Lethold you a little longer.”
He muttered into her, his face full of contentment.
Natalie gave up fighting, leaving him clinging like an overgrown golden retriever.

She sat perched on the desk while he held her, her eyes drifting to the surveillance feeds- rows of traders
hammering away at their keyboards, moving who knew how much money at their command.
She thought back to her five years with Jensen.
In all that time, he'd never once let her set foot inside Luke Corp.
She remembered one twhen Jensen was sick. She’d made food and gone to deliver it to him, but she hadn't
even been allowed through the lobby.
Hansel, the assistant, had cdown to take it instead.
That day had stung badly.
Jensen’s excuse had been that her identity as Sunny had to remain hidden, that if the shareholders saw her
around too often, they might dig into her background. If they discovered her past, he'd lose his only card to hold
his position.
Though it had left her uncomfortable, she'd accepted it, swallowing her own pride for the sake of Jensen's career
and status. From that day on, she never went to Luke Corp again.
As for Luke Corp’s annual gala, she was never allowed to attend at all.
Now, looking back, she realized the truth: in those five years of so-called love, she'd been nothing more than his
hidden mistress, tucked away out of sight,
Jensen had once said he didn’t want her beauty exposed to other men, that his jealousy couldn't stand it.
But only now did Natalie understand-those were just excuses, lies.
Jensen had never wanted her anywhere near the Luke family’s core, never wanted anyone to know about their
relationship.
