THE Media Baron's Heiress (BOOK 2)

CHAPTER 36

'Am I in the dog box now?' Brad tentatively lowered his hands to his wife's sexy bottom. When he got no resistance, he moulded her body against his.

'You don't allow me such privileges handsome,' her emerald eyes meshed with his.

'Why don't you hold me?' he instructed. He didn't think he'd get purchase. They were in a public place and he was not in his wife's good books right at the moment.

'You are so demanding?' she laughed softly.

Brad's head lowered. His lips hovered to a hairs breath away from her mouth. The smile disappeared off her face. Her hands lifted to curve around his neck. Tessa initiated the kiss seeing her husband was in a mood to taunt her. Her eyes closed. Her lips pressed against his. She inhaled. Her lips parted. Her tongue snaked into his mouth. The power he possessed to arouse her was so explosive at the worst of times. Tessa's fingers caressed his face, her body pressed against him, she deepened the kiss, pulling Brad even closer.

'Oh---um---I'm sorry,' Stephanie was all embarrassed. Tessa sighed. She dropped her arms. Brad was unfazed. He kept his arms around Tessa.

'You back already?' Tessa looked at her wristwatch. Lyndon had only been riding for less than fifteen minutes. She wanted to step away from Brad. He kept his hold on her.

'Oh they do that all the time,' Lyndon informed Stephanie dismissively. They kiss in the morning, they kiss at the office. They kiss all ---.' Lyndon stopped his information dissemination in mid sentence. He looked up at Tessa, tears forming pools in his eyes. 'Momma carry me.'

Tessa's eyes darted to Brad with concern.

'Lyndon stopped the lesson,' Stephanie spoke. 'He looked ... uncomfortable and asked to return to you Mrs. Blakely.'

'Let's get him to the dentist,' Brad attempted to pick Lyndon up.

'Momma,' Lyndon clung to Tessa's knees, turning away from Brad.

'I got you baby,' Tessa lifted Lyndon into her arms. 'We are leaving, angel,' she smoothed the hair down the back of his head.

'I took him on my most gentle filly. I'm ... sorry.'

'It's not you,' Tessa smiled reassuringly at Stephanie. She whispered to Stephanie about Lyndon's toothache, seeing her little angel was trying to be so brave in front of the young lady. Tessa apologized for cutting the lesson short and assured Stephanie she would call her for Lyndon's next lesson.

'Momma,' Lyndon clung to Tessa, refusing to be seated on the dentist's chair.

'Just let the doctor examine your tooth Lyndon,' Brad spoke gently.

'Take me home momma. Take me home,' Lyndon howled. He had his back to everybody, hiding his face in Tessa's shoulder. He refused to be pacified by Brad and he refused point blank to allow the dentist, who was smiling patiently, access to his teeth. Tessa and Brad tried unsuccessfully to place him on the seat. He wriggled and wrestled like a wildcat, refusing to budge.

'Give me a minute alone with him please,' Tessa spoke to her husband and the doctor.

'Coffee?' The doctor offered Brad intuitively.

'Yes, thank you,' Brad accepted.

Lyndon cautiously looked over his shoulder, making sure the coast was clear.

'They're gone darling,' Tessa murmured, wiping the tears off his cheeks.

'Are you cross with me momma?' Lyndon hiccupped.

'No,' she smiled, kissing each eyelid in turn. 'Can we make a deal my angel?'

'Yes,' Tessa got a response, more out of curiosity.
