Samuel was so domineering that he didn’t allow Natalie to rebuff him. Before she could even react to the situation properly, she had already been placed on the couch by him. “You…” Gently biting her lip, she spoke softly as shyness reflected in her eyes. “Emma’s still here, you know…”

“It doesn’t matter if she’s around or not. You only have yourself to blame for running around barefooted after waking up.” Samuel placed her clean, fair feet on his thick and firm thighs. Glancing at her, he lectured, “If you feel embarrassed, that’s a good thing because this means you’ll remember not to repeat the same mistake!”

Natalie was speechless. What do I do? Why do I feel like I’m a child being taught a lesson? When she heard a soft chuckle coming from behind her, she turned around and saw Emma covering her mouth while watching the couple. “Emma, I—”

“No need to explain, Ms. Nichols. I know what’s going on. You’re just having a romantic moment with Mr. Bowers. Your slippers should still be upstairs. I’ll bring them down for you right away,” Emma replied with a grin.

Natalie was bereft of speech. Emma shifted her line of sight from Natalie’s blushing face and headed upstairs to retrieve the younger woman’s slippers. Natalie shot a glare at Samuel coyly. “It’s your fault that Emma misunderstood me!”

“Misunderstood what?” His warm, coarse palm gently rubbed between her feet as he flashed her a half-smile. “Emma’s right. We are having a romantic moment as a married couple.”

“You—” She was momentarily rendered speechless by his words. “Why do I feel like you’ve gotten better at flirting after returning from the mountains?”

“Because, when I was tip-toeing on the edge of life and death…” Samuel stared at Natalie deeply. “I was thinking about the things I regretted in my life. I thought about many things, but, in the end, the thing I regretted the most was being unable to dote on you and make you happy. Thankfully, the heavens gave me another chance. So, of course I’m going to treasure our time even more and use all I have to dote on you.”
