“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,” I confirm, my fingers already unbuttoning her chef jacket.“I can’t keep my fucking hands off you, Hannah.And I don’t want to anymore either.”
She lets out a soft laugh.“I know what you mean,” she says.“Maybe we can tell everyone at the baby shower tomorrow night?”
“Yes,” I murmur, pulling her coat off and dropping it on the floor.“And everyone in the kitchen?”I ask, as my fingers move to the button and zipper of her pants.
“Can we do that after?”she asks, and I don’t miss the nervousness in her voice.
Pausing my undressing of her, I pull back, my gaze meeting hers.“It’s gonna be okay, Han,” I say.“I’m not gonna let anyone say anything about this or us or anything, okay.I promise.”
Hannah nods, her bottom lip between her teeth.“I know,” she says quietly.“But I just…let’s tell our bosses and my brother first.Then we tackle the kitchen.”
“Okay,” I say with a nod.“I’ve got your back, babe.And I’m not going to let anyone or anything ruin this.I love you.”
She finally smiles, her eyes shining with so much happiness it makes my heart flip.“I love you too,” she says.“Now let’s have really hot and filthy I love you sex.”
Laughing, I rip off my own chef jacket, throwing it over my shoulder.“Fuck, yes!”
Chapter Twenty-One
Hannah
I take in a deep breath, letting it out slowly as I place the last of the wildflowers on the tables.The room looks gorgeous.So beautiful in fact, it feels like Lauren should consider it for small events.
I took Tessa’s ideas and ran with them.Hopefully she’s happy with the way it turned out because I forbid her from coming to help me set up.
It’s this perfect mix of farmhouse and cute with pale yellow and gray throughout.And these adorable little bumblebee decorations that Penny helped me make.
A few seconds later, while I’m still taking it all in, Leo walks in with the cake.I gasp so loud that he startles, nearly dropping it on the ground.
He laughs, shaking his head as he narrows his eyes at me.“You should know better than to startle someone carrying food,” he says, setting it down on the table I have decorated just for it.
“Leo, this is incredible!You made this?”I ask, so overwhelmed that I feel like I might cry.
It’s this stunning petite three-tier cake with the most perfect expertly piped bumblebees, all matching the design Tessa requested.Plus, the fresh wildflowers he added, bring the whole thing together.
Penny and Lauren said they’d take care of the cake since I had the menu to organize and prepare, but I never suspected they’d ask Leo.Pastries and cakes are not his specialty.
“I’m a jack of all trades,” he replies, walking over to give me a kiss.“Plus, I’m trying to impress this girl.Is it working?”
“She was already impressed,” I murmur against his mouth.“And you’re a jack of all trades in and out of the bedroom.”
Leo’s hand slides down to my ass, grabbing it, he groans, pushing his hips against me.
“My house isn’t far,” he whispers, and my head falls back, laughing at his insatiable nature.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy for the next few hours and I believe you are too.”
I step back, putting some distance between us before I take him up on his offer.
“But in all seriousness, the room looks so good, Han.Be proud of yourself.Your first full-on catered, decorated and organized event.”
I feel my cheeks flush, smiling at how his words make me feel.I am proud of what I’ve accomplished, but I’m prouder about having him by my side to help me out.It’s an amazing feeling knowing your partner fully supports your career.Leo doesn’t just support my career, he loves it with me.
“Tell me about these secret cake decorating skills,” I say, changing the subject, not wanting to focus on myself.I’ve always kind of liked being in the background, cooking behind closed doors and making people happy with my food.Like some kind of Wizard of Oz.
“It’s no big secret,” Leo replies casually, like a tattooed, muscled guy is the norm when it comes to decorating baby shower cakes.“Obviously I learned it in school, but I don’t really put it to use.I do prefer cooking over baking, but I wanted to knock you off your feet.”
