Chapter 99 The Unwanted Interruption
Suddenly, the tickling stopped. The laughter died away, replaced by a heavy tension.

Baron’s throat bobbed as he looked down at me. Heat flashed in his eyes as he caught my wrists, pressing them gently but firmly above my head, his nose brushing against mine.
His breath was coming hard and matching the frantic rhythm of my own heart.
My pulse raced… I knew exactly what this meant.
My lips parted unconsciously, my body arching toward his warmth.
Baron didn’t wait… He leaned down and kissed me.
It wasn’t the gentle, hesitant kiss I had expected; it was hard, possessive, and deep. He stole the breath from my lungs.
My arms looped around his neck, my fingers tangling in the dark hair at the nape of his neck. His hands clamped tight around my waist, pulling me flush against him until there was no space left.
The room thickened with a heavy heat.
Knock, knock.
The sound was like a gunshot in the quiet room.
“Daddy! Daddy, are you in there? There’s a handsome man downstairs looking for you!” Susie’s milky, sing–song voice rang through the heavy oak door, oblivious to what she had just interrupted. “He says he has a gift for the ‘New Lady‘!”
Baron and I jerked apart like guilty teenagers caught in the library.
I dove under the silk blanket, pulling it up to my chin, my face turning red all the way to my ears. I felt like my skin was vibrating. “Go!” I hissed, my voice a frantic whisper. “Go and see who it is!”
Baron stayed frozen for a moment, perched on the edge of the bed… his jaw was clenched so tight I thought his teeth might crack. He stared at the door as if he could melt the wood with his gaze alone.
“I’m coming, Susie,” he called out, his voice sounding like he had just swallowed a gallon of gravel.
