Chapter 749

Nathaniel's throat tightened as he realized his enchanting little minx had returned.

His hands gripped Harrison's slender waist possessively. "Such insatiable hunger, darling? Are you certain you can take all of me?"

Harrison gazed up at Nathaniel - the most formidable and devastatingly handsome man in all of Metropolia, exuding raw power and absolute confidence. She looped her arms around his neck with a sultry smile.

"Only one way to discover, isn't there?"

Hours melted away until Nathaniel finally carried his exhausted lover to bed. Harrison felt utterly unraveled, every muscle liquid fire, completely spent.

Little Charlotte slept peacefully beneath the silk sheets, her cherubic face flushed like a perfect peach, tempting enough to devour. Harrison leaned down to press a featherlight kiss to her daughter's forehead.

Just then, Nathaniel emerged from the shower, water droplets still glistening on his sculpted torso as he slid into bed and pulled Harrison against him.

She shot him a warning look. "You're not sleeping here. The floor looks comfortable."

Nathaniel nipped playfully at her earlobe. "Kicking me out after ravishing me so thoroughly? You were practically begging for more earlier!"

Harrison's eyes flashed dangerously. "Get. Out."

"Not a chance." His arms tightened around her. "Tonight, I'm holding my wife and daughter where they belong."

Charlotte curled on one side, Harrison nestled between them, and Nathaniel forming a protective barrier on the outside.

Gazing at his family, Nathaniel felt something profound click into place. After years of waiting, his world was finally complete.

"Wife? Don't flatter yourself!" Harrison hissed.

Nathaniel's grin turned wolfish. "You are my wife in every way that matters."

"You're impossible! Release me this instant!"

"Never."

In one fluid motion, Nathaniel rolled Harrison beneath him.

She recognized the predatory gleam in his eyes instantly. The man had the stamina of a damned immortal! They'd already christened the floor, the chaise lounge, and the shower, yet here he was, ready for round four!

Harrison squeezed her eyes shut. "I'm exhausted. Let me sleep."

Nathaniel brushed his lips against hers. "Then sleep, my love."

His fingers began inching up her negligee.

Harrison trapped his wandering hand. "Charlotte is right here! Have some self-control!"

"Relax. She's sound asleep." His breath was hot against her neck. "She won't hear a thing."

Harrison contemplated smothering him with a pillow. "Nathaniel!"

He nibbled her earlobe. "Hush now. You'll wake the baby."

She was utterly speechless.

Dawn broke with the sound of delighted giggles.

Harrison blinked awake to find Charlotte sitting cross-legged on the bed, her dark eyes sparkling as she stared at her parents.

"Mommy! You're cuddling with Mr. Gorgeous!"

Harrison realized with horror that she was still wrapped in Nathaniel's embrace, his arm draped possessively over her waist. Heat flooded her cheeks.

"Charlotte, darling..."

But Nathaniel only tightened his hold, smiling lazily. "Sweetheart, you need to call me something different now. Not Mr. Gorgeous - I'm your daddy."

Charlotte's entire face lit up. "Really? Mommy, is he really my daddy?"

Harrison couldn't lie to those hopeful eyes. She nodded. "Yes, my love. He's your father."

"YAY!" Charlotte bounced on the mattress. "I have a daddy! And he's the handsomest daddy ever! Now we can be together forever - Daddy, Mommy, and me!"

Nathaniel scooped up their daughter, pressing a kiss to her curls. "Exactly. Today, your mother and I are making it official. From this moment forward, nothing will ever separate our family again."
