I know that Natalia said becoming pregnant could be difficult, and even when it happens, it could be a long journey because of the scar tissue. Whatever obstacle may come our way, I know that we will be able to overcome it together. Downing the remainder of my coffee, I place the empty mug in the sink.
Turning to face Natalia as she walks through the door, I give her a smirk before walking over to her. “Are you ready to get wedding planning?” I ask, and she groans. I pour her a cup of coffee, stirring in her favorite creamer.
“Can’t we just elope?” She grumbles before taking the cup from me and sipping on the hot liquid
“Now you’re talking,” I muse, looking down at her.
“Don’t tempt me,” she raises an eyebrow and gives me an innocent smile.
“How about I promise you a good honeymoon?” I place my hands on her hips.
She places her coffee cup on the counter beside her and slips her arms around my neck. “Then I guess I can do the whole wedding thing.”
“Until then, I can give you a preview of what the honeymoon will consist of.” I tease, raising my eyebrow and leaning down, my lips inches from hers.
“I like the sound of that,” Natalia mutters, closing the distance between our lips.
Lifting her off her feet, I place her on the counter and move to stand between her legs, where they wrap around me. My hand slips under her shirt and trails up her body to her breast. Rubbing my thumb across her nipple, she moans softly into the kiss.
Pulling away from the kiss, I grab the hem of her shirt and pull it over her head. Tossing it to the ground, I pepper kisses down her neck and to her chest. Placing soft kisses along the healed cut that outlines each breast, I smile against her skin as Natalia places her hand on the back of my head, gripping the hair at my nape.
Continuing my path down her body, I quickly strip her shorts off. I pull on her hips, sliding her closer to the end of the counter, and place her legs on my shoulders before I lean down and kiss the inside of her thigh. Natalia’s breath hitches as she leans back on her elbows. I smirk as I look up at her.
Keeping my eyes on hers, I go to lower my mouth to her pussy when a voice from the hall stops me in my tracks. I stand quickly, shielding Natalia’s naked body just as Finn rounds the corner.
“Hey, Boss. Wha- Oh my god,” Finn stops in his tracks and turns his back quickly. “Damn it, Declan. We eat on that counter,” he groans.
“That’s what I was trying to do, asshole,” I grumble as I bend down and hand Natalia her clothes. Glancing up at her, I give her an apologetic smile. “We will continue this later,” I promise her, before kissing her forehead and walking over to Finn. “Office.”
“I am so sorry, Natalia,” Finn calls over his shoulder, not turning around, as he follows me to the office.
Chapter twenty-three
Natalia
After the men leave, I slide off the counter and dress quickly. I feel like I could die from embarrassment. Thankfully, when Declan heard Finn, he hid my naked body from view. Even though I want nothing more than to climb back in bed and never emerge, I know there are things that need to be done today.
Going to the bedroom, I change into a dress that Maxine bought. Once my hair and makeup are done, I slip my shoes on and walk to Declan's office. Women don’t usually sit in on the meetings, but with the way Declan wants to run things, no one will bat an eye if I join.
Opening the door to his office, Declan is standing at his desk looking over some paperwork with Finn. He gives me a half smile and motions for me to come over.
“We were just going over the route for the next shipment that will be coming in this week. As long as everything goes according to plan, it will be smooth sailing. No pun intended,” he says as he slips an arm around my waist.
“That’s great news,” I say as I look from him to Finn.
Finn’s cheeks flare red, and he quickly adverts his eyes.
“Finn,” I say, raising an accusatory eyebrow. “Have you never seen a naked woman?”
Finn’s eyes grow wide and he looks over at Declan, but he just shrugs at him and laughs. “Don’t look at me brother, you know I can’t control her.” Declan leans down and kisses my head.
“I’m gonna go if you’re done with me?” Finn says, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
“Yeah, you know what to tell the others,” Declan says and Finn turns to leave.
“Oh Finn,” I call after him as he leaves, “wait for me. I need to talk to you about something.”
He blanches but nods before standing outside the door.
