Page 137 of A Very Naughty Christmas

She scowled up at him. “Are you missing anything?”

Derek gave her a baffled look. “Like?”

“Well, I’m pretty sure your cock is still in my ass so I wondered if it was still attached,” Kendra informed him with another glare.

Derek fell against the wall laughing. Kendra tried to hold her glare but then her lips twitched and she lost the battle as she joined him, laughing loud and joyously.

He walked up and kissed her hard before lifting her down from the counter. “Let’s go find something delicious to eat. I’m starving and I need to feed my baby girl before we take a nap.”

“Do you have anything I can put on?” Kendra asked as they walked out of the bathroom hand in hand.

“You don’t need anything. I may keep you naked for the rest of our lives,” Derek said with a grin.

The protest died on her lips at his words and the heat in his gaze. Kendra’s heart skipped several beats before she relaxed, absorbing the reality of this man desiring her so much. For the first time in her life she felt proud of her nude form and the way it affected him.

She began to walk with a little more sway in her hips, making him chuckle again.

Chapter Four

Derek quickly heated two meals and then transferred them to one plate while she waited patiently on the counter where he’d sat her. Why only one plate?

The mystery was solved when he sat it at the head of the table and turned the chair sideways before picking her up and sitting down with her facing him, straddling his lap.

Kendra smiled at him. “I like your lap, but how am I supposed to eat this way?”

“I’m going to feed you. I thought this position would take some pressure off that tender bottom of yours,” Derek told her as he held a forkful of meat and noodles to her lips.

Being fed seemed strange but she obediently opened her mouth and accepted what was offered. It was delicious, the flavors of the beef, creamy sauce, and noodles sparking her taste buds as she chewed.

Derek took a bite and then gave her another, alternating bites between them until the plate was empty and Kendra was completely stuffed and surprisingly sleepy after their morning activities.

He grinned at her. “Ready for a nap?”

She narrowed her eyes, suddenly feeling a little grumpy. “You know I’m not a six-year-old.”

Derek raised a brow. “I am well aware you’re an adult, Kendra. I’m just trying to pamper you a little, but if you use that snippy little tone again, you’ll be going to sleep with a freshly heated bottom.”

Kendra blushed and looked down, suddenly feeling terribly unsure.

He caught her chin beneath his finger and tilted her face up. “It’s okay, baby, I know this is new and you’re sleepy. Grumpy happens.”

Derek picked up her again and carried her back to their couch bed in the office, lying down with her and then tucking the covers around them both. Kendra scooted around until she was facing him, one hand resting on his chest.

“What’s happening here?” she asked worriedly.

He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. “We’re taking a nap because you exhausted me last night and again this morning.”

Kendra frowned. “Please be serious for a minute. Is this just a ‘while we’re snowed in’ thing or more than that?”

His hands came up to cup her face and he looked into her eyes. “I want you to be mine. Period. No caveats or time frames… just mine,” Derek told her seriously before his mouth closed over hers and he kissed her like he would consume her whole.

With a soft moan, her body collapsed into him as all the tension she’d been holding left her in one fell swoop. She felt a little dazed when he lifted his head.

“Are we clear?” he asked.

Kendra licked her lips, tasting him on her mouth. “Yes, sir. But you don’t know me really and what if…”

“I know you, honey,” Derek said earnestly.
