He’s my always. I don’t want to ever lose that perspective. No matter how much I adore being a mom or a friend or a business owner. He’s my forever. And I want him to know how much I love him. So I tell him all the time. And a lot of the time it’s not even with words.”
Natalie stared at her best friend, a little bit heartsick for wanting what she had. And a lot heart happy for knowing Angela deserved every moment of her happiness with Clay. They’d earned it many times over.
She hoped one day a man loved her the way Clay loved Angela.
A sexy man. One who made her insides quiver and her thighs tingle with anticipation from nothing more than a look.
As if conjured from her thoughts a knock stole her attention. “It’s Campbell.”
Her heart sped up and her pussy fluttered.
Shaking her head didn’t keep her mouth from going dry and it didn’t squash the need to nibble her bottom lip when he opened the door.
Lord help her from wishing for something more.

Campbell
Yeah, it’s true. He didn’t wait to open the door. There was no pause for the “oh so ready for you to barge in” announcement.
Nope.
Not a word was spoken before he did the open-and-walk-through routine.
Why did every ounce of Southern breeding instilled in him by his mama go right out the window?
Because it had been approximately sixty-three minutes since he’d been alone with Natalie, which was apparently sixty-two minutes too long.
“Hey.” Yup, that was all he had to offer since his entire body including his brain relaxed at being in the same space with her again.
Angela could have been breast-feeding and he didn’t even think of it until he stepped through the open doorway and caught sight of Natalie holding the baby. Being certain Angela would have preferred he not ogle her while she fed her son didn’t make any difference.
He knew Wyatt had a job to do and there was no doubt how much more info could be gleaned from a fresh witness.
Tossing theories back and forth while his statement was taken totally made sense.
It did.
Yet he didn’t care at all.
All he wanted to do was make sure she was okay.
“Hey,” Natalie offered back as she cuddled the sleepy infant.
Natalie worked and owned a clinic specifically designed for pregnant and nursing women. She was around babies all the time and he’d seen her hold children for hours at a time.
So seeing her hold baby Wyatt and cuddle him was nothing new.
He scrunched his eyebrows down a bit though when a realization wrapped around his leg and licked the head of his cock.
This time was different.
Holding the baby and patting his back affected Campbell completely unlike any other of the several dozen times he’d seen her do it.
His entire impression of her was slightly unusual.
Because of the kiss?
Eyeing her mouth, he remembered the feel of his lips on hers, the weight of her body on top of his. The pulse in her neck throbbing erratically as he brought his mouth up to take hers.
No.
Not because of the kiss.
He eyed her mouth again.
Oh hell.
Wiping a hand down his face sounded like a good idea so he went with that. Clearing his head needed to be his first order of business.
Not kissing his client again.
Not kissing her at all.
“Have you seriously missed everything I just said, Campbell?” Angela’s slightly amused tone brought him back to the here and horny. “If I didn’t know you better I’d think you were smitten.”
“Whoa, whoa, what?”
Natalie rolled her eyes at him.
He growled. Animalistic? Possibly. He preferred to think of it as more an advantageous skill set allowing him to effectively do his job to the fullest.
Bullshit? Sure. But whatever.
Baby Wyatt went from sleeping to holy terror in about 2.7 seconds, allowing Campbell a couple more seconds of staring at Natalie sort of undetected.
“You’ve gone from talking shit about her to eyeing her like a side of beef in less than several hours.” Clay had come up behind him,
