Chapter 149 Bridal Chamber
She had been <b>so </b>foolish.
:
Five years of silent devotion, convincing herself that was love.
Natalieughed at herself bitterly.
Baron sensed the shift in her mood and immediately let her go.
“What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”
“No.”

She shook her head, then cupped his face with both hands and asked with a smile, “You’ve shown me everything, put all of this in my hands. Aren’t you afraid that one day I’ll betray you? Sell you out? If that happens, you’ll be finished.”
Baron rubbed his cheek into her palm, answering casually, “From the moment you agreed to marry me, this life of mine has been yours. Take it whenever you want. I’ll give it willingly.”
The depth in his eyes seared her. Natalie quickly turned her gaze away.
“Are you stupid? Who gives their life away like that?”
“Can’t buy my willingness with all the money in the world.”
His answer was flippant, almost childish.
Her chest tightened with a faint ache. This man always knew how to pierce right through her defenses.
“Weren’t you going <i>to </i>take me to the bridal chamber?<b>” </b>
Her words caught him off guard.
“Now? Are you sure?”
He realized maybe he didn’t know Natalie as well as he thought. She seemed wilder by the day. Was this still the reserved little woman she used to be?
Her smile turned sly.
“What? Don’t want to? Then I’ll just go back.”

“In your dreams!”
Baron hoisted her onto his shoulder in one smooth motion and strode off.
Natalie’s mouth twitched.
“Baron, put me down!”

What was she, a sack of potatoes? He was actually carrying her out like this? Did she not need her dignity anymore?
Baron smacked her backside as he walked.
“Shut up and behave.”
Her face flushed red to the tips of her ears.
“Baron, you’re dead meat.”
She ground the words out, but he only grinned.
Around them, his men stared in shock until Baron was far out of sight before whispering among themselves.
“Was that really Mr. Gunn?”
“I wasn’t seeing things, right? Mr. Gunn actually smiled?”
“Something’s off today. Maybe we should brace for some big action tonight.”
Nervous murmurs rippled through them.
Baron couldn’t have cared less about the waves of shock he left behind.
He carried Natalie out of the underground auction and straight into one of the farmhouse’s
rooms.
He was like a boy too eager to wait.
Kicking the door open with one foot, he tossed Natalie onto the bed, then immediately leaned down to kiss her–only to be stopped by her long, pale leg pressing firmly against his chest.
That porcin foot held him back.
“Baron, did you just dare to smack me?”

Her eyes glittered dangerously, her whole body trembling with indignation. <fnd43b> Fresh chapters posted on fin?novel</fnd43b>
Baron only chuckled, caught her foot, and bent down to kiss the arch of it.

With a shock like thunder, the tingling shot through her body from her sole, leaving her melting into helpless warmth.
What followedsted two full days and nights.
Natalie hardly left the bed.
She nearly wanted to kick Baron out entirely.
When he tried to continue again, she finally snapped.
“You’re not allowed to touch me for a month!”
She red coldly, though her face was flushed, her features glowing with a beauty that made Baron ache all over again. But he could see she was truly angry now.
He coughed lightly. “Don’t. I just broke my fast. If you make me go a whole month without, you’ll kill me.”
“Then die.”
Her whole body was sore, like she’d been taken apart and reassembled.
Whoever saidnd couldn’t be exhausted but oxen could–she felt like the opposite. The ox just kept getting stronger while thend was about to copse.
Seeing the bruises darkening faintly along her skin, Baron cursed himself for being socking in restraint.
But how could he have held back? After all these years, finally having the woman he loved, legally his–how could he have resisted?
“I’ll get you some water and oil. A soak will help.”
Natalie didn’t even look at him.
He rubbed his nose and slipped away quietly.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. With his presence gone, Natalie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She rubbed her aching neck, leaned against the headboard, and drifted into sleep without realizing.
When Baron came out, that was the sight that met him.
His guilt crashed over him in waves.
<i>Damn</i>.
Next time, he swore he would control himself.
He lifted her carefully into his arms. She didn’t stir.
Together they sank into the bathtub.
After twenty minutes soaking, he carried her out, dried her body tenderly, andid her back on the bed, pulling the nket up over her.
