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 .

" 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 .

Natalie gave up fighting , leaving him clinging like an overgrown golden retriever .

69 +10 Free Coins 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 time when 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 come down 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 . 3/3
