“You are priceless, Rosenna. Even if they offered a hundred million for your portrait, I wouldn’t accept it. Not when my counter-offer would be tenfold that.”
I rolled my eyes. Before I could say anything, however, his hands tightened over my abdomen, his eyes growing a bit darker.
“Beckham?” I muttered cautiously.
He looked up at me for a split moment before fixating his gaze back on his hands.
“I want to put a baby in here,”he murmured possessively, and I practically choked on my spit as he pulled me closer to him before placing a kiss on my lips. His words sounded like a promise… something inevitable.
“You’d look so fucking sexy pregnant. So perfect carrying my child.”
My eyes widened as I patted his chest softly. I let out a startled laugh, but the way he was looking at me told me thiswasn’tajoke.
“Slow down there, partner…” I chuckled.
Weirdly enough, he seemed to reel it in a bit before placing another kiss on my lips.
“The only difference between Gavin and me is that I want to put a baby in you for the right reason.”
I nodded. “Believe me, Beckham. You and he have more than just a few differences. “
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I laughed as he flipped us over before deepening the kiss. However, before it could go too far, we heard a heavy knock at the door that made us pull away.
A familiar voice made me roll my eyes.
“Rise and shine, Daddy Picasso. You need to release my boss to me today! Don’t worry. I’ll have her back to you by the end of the day,” Kira yelled from outside.
I sighed with a smile as Beckham continued gazing down at me lovingly. Pulling him closer, I placed another kiss on his lips, drowning out Kira’s protests as she continued banging on the front door.
Soon enough, Beckham and I left the bed and found a rather annoyed Kira standing outside with fresh dry cleaning and bags of shoes. After showering and getting dressed in a flattering white strapless top and brown pants, I sat at his dining room table as I went over the documents Kira brought as she added a few finishing touches to my ponytail.
“We’re expecting almost another full house today to view the exhibits. The main building will be getting most of the traction, but I’m still keeping tabs on the two other galleries,” she explained. I nodded as I sifted through the papers in thought.
One document within the files caught my attention, and I set it aside as I wanted to tackle it first thing today. As Brent Sullivan’s name remained at the bottom of the bill, I placed the paper on the top of the documents before closing the folder.
Eventually, Kira finished my hair, and I heard footsteps approaching. I looked over my shoulder to see Beckham dressed for the day as he walked in, looking ever so sexy as he held something that made my face flame in embarrassment and Kira’s eyes light up in curiosity. Slowly, he strolled over, my heels hanging from his fingers in a way that weirdly made my legs tighten.
Hiding my face in my hands, embarrassed as he lowered himself to his knees, Kira scoffed playfully, “Talk about upgrading your man; this is more than first class, I’ll tell you that.”
Slowly and intentionally,Beckham took my foot in his hand and slipped my heel on, fastening the delicate strap around my ankle with meticulous precision. His lips brushed over my knee as he placed a tender kiss before moving to my other foot.
“You can’t be the only one focusing on the details of Ms. Hart, Kira. Gavin didn’t want to get on board, so someone had to take charge.”
“Aye, aye, Captain.”
I rolled my eyes at both of them as I placed my hands down, and he kissed me on my other knee as he finished my shoe. He stood up, and I blushed as he held my chin in his hand, forcing me to gaze up at him.
“I’ll be at my father’s office for the day. If you need me, don’t hesitate to call. I’ll drop anything and everything for you, Flower.”
I nodded softly before he leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips, still holding onto me possessively. He pulled away after a moment, and Kira shook her head.
“What’s a girl gotta do around here to find a man willing to treat her like a goddess, huh?”
I had to hold in my giggle as Beckham placed another kiss on my forehead before grabbing my belongings for me.
After escorting us to Kira’s car, I bid him goodbye as we made our way to the gallery. Walking into my office, I placed my belongings down before sitting at my desk to review today’s numbers and the agenda for the week.
After an hour of getting some of the more tedious work done for the day, my door opened abruptly, and I looked over in a slight panic, but I soon relaxed as I realized it was just Kira. However, I could only relax for a second as her eyes screamed alarm.
