You're Out Daddy

Natasha’s face was flaming red, but she maintained a neutral expression and closed her eyes before saying, “She’ll misunderstand if we don’t go out now.”

Kenneth pressed her up against a wall as soon as she moved to leave. “Let her, then. You’re her mommy, and I’m her daddy. That is an indisputable fact.”

Natasha stared into his dark, burning eyes.

He looked at her and leaned closer, breathing in the faint scent of champagne still clinging to her. Her cheeks were flushed from drinking, especially her ruby red lips, which whittled him down to his basal desire.

He cupped his hand over her silky cheek. “The blush on your face is intoxicating, Nat.”

Then, he bent to slant his mouth over hers.

Before their lips connected, Natasha suddenly said, “Have I been too tolerant of you lately, Kenneth?”

He jolted and leveled a sharp gaze on her.

“I can’t promise anything if you take advantage of me one more time,” Natasha said.

She kept her wits about her even in such a heated moment, and Kenneth didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But that’s who Natasha is, no?

“Didn’t you know that being with a gorgeous girl is a happy death thus deserved?” Kenneth laughed.

“Do you want to meet your maker? I’m willing to grant your wish.” Her hand shot out toward his head.

He captured her hand in his bigger one, deftly avoiding her wound. “Are you thinking of murdering your husband?”

“Ex-husband,” she corrected.
