Falling For Mr King Chapter Seventy Four
By the time Steven had changed to house clothes and came back downstairs, Marie and Sarah had assembled lunch.“Oh there you are.” She said, her eyes perusing his bare, muscular arms before drifting back to his face. He could see her embarrassment so decided to let it slide.“I’m starving, Love. What are we having for lunch?”“You’ll see…” She said, ignoring Sarah who was trying to help and hoisting the tray herself. She gestured at him to bring the wine and glasses along.“Thank you, Sarah but you heard the Madam, I had better carry this myself.” Sarah smirked at him as she excused herself.“What's the plan, Ma’am?”Steven asked once he placed the wine and glasses beside the tray. Marie flashed all thirty two pearly whites at him before climbing into his lap, facing him. She counted on her fingers,“So we're going to eat while watching two incredibly sappy rom coms. Zip. I don't want to hear it, Steven. My date, my rules. Then I was thinking that if you somehow managed to behave you

Marie jumped as his father's tall frame came through the hallway to where they sat in front of the TV. William King was holding a carryall in his left hand. She winced as she noticed that muddy imprints had trailed his steps from the door. She hazarded a glance to Steven who didn't look exactly excited or embarrassed, he looked a little closer to being upset instead.Pulling her back to the chair, he kissed the side of her head and then rose with her to meet his father's gaze.“Dad, it's a surprise to see you. I thought you were offshore?”“Wow, Son. If I didn't know better, I'd think you’re not happy to see your old man. Come and give me a hug, my boy.”Marie bit back a smile as the boy in question trudged to where his father stood and gave him a hug. William King made a good show of clasping Steven and thumping him on the back several times before releasing him. William all but ignored Marie until Steven pulled her forward.“You’ve met my wife,” He said, gripping her firmly against

“Done? What's done?” William King asked, fixing Steven with a hard glare.Oh for the love of God. Could the man get over himself? Why was he here requesting information from Steven like some present father? However she hoped Steven would give an answer because she was curious as well.“Nothing. Just some personal business, Dad.”“What personal business do you have with Alden?” William asked, his brows drawing together as frown lines deepened on his forehead.“Dad, it's between Alden and I. I'm not exactly at liberty to share right now.” Steven said, avoiding both hers and his father's gaze.“Fine.” William said, but by the look on Steven's face, Marie saw that he knew everything William had packed into that one word.They spent the rest of the day in tense silence with Steven and William exchanging glances that made Marie's tummy squirm. Once the clock hit 8PM, she made an excuse to get ready for bed and hightailed it out of their presence. At least which was safe from the iciness and

Without saying a word to him, Marie ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. Kissing and flirting with Steven King these past two months had been heavenly, but beginning an actual relationship was new territory for her and it was freaking her out. Even though this was the very thing she had been waiting for, now that it has finally occurred, she found that she was struggling to come to terms with it.“Hey, Love,” The man in question said from the other side of the door.“Hi.” She responded, her lips trembling as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She ran her hand over her hair and tried to take a deep breath.“I'm sorry it took me so long to see it. I'm sorry for all the waiting you did these past few years. But I'm here now, Love.”“Steven, you’re asking me out for real? No take backs?”“No, Love. I'm dead serious about this.”“I don't know what to say. I’ve wanted this for so long but now I'm scared. What if we end up hating each other? What if you can't stand the way I sme

“You know you promised, Marie. And so you can't argue with me.” Steven said, smiling as though he was a custodian to a mighty secret no one else knew about.“Gosh, what have I gone and done now? Steven King, you know what I meant when I said I would make it up to you!” She said, planting her hand on her hips and frowning. Her actions only seemed to ignite whatever fire was burning in him because he immediately smiled and said,“Angry Marie is sooo hot.”“Steven.”“Marie. Don't argue with me. You promised and I kept my end of the deal. I don't even want a hard thing. I just want you to work from here today.”Marie's mouth fell open at his request. Was it time to start wishing for her Godzilla boss who would have fired her if she had dared encroach his personal space without cause?“Steven King, you want me to work from the same space as you?”“Yes Ma’am. I’d rather not have to walk all the way whenever I want to kiss my wife, or hug her from behind or…”“Steven, this is a work environm

Steven spared a glance at Marie who seemed to be in a fierce battle with her keyboard. He couldn't for the life of him figure out what was wrong with her. She had been perfectly fine till he addressed the team, then she had just gotten up, walked to the bathroom and came out upset. Marie had always been a sensitive woman, one he had always had to be softer with even when their relationship had been purely professional.He fought back a smile as he recalled the early days and how she would sulk or sometimes cry when he gave her feedback. But she had picked up far better than most assistants he had worked with and that's why he had kept her for these ten years. She had such a quick brain that seemed to remember everything and everyone and preempt the things he needed fixed before he even had to brief her. She had saved him so much time and money that he wasn't sure if he would be half as effective at his job if she wasn't so good at hers. She looked up at him briefly before dropping her

Arghh. That woman was here. Again. Why she grated on his nerves so much, he had no idea. The fact was that the front gate had texted him about an hour, thirty minutes ago asking if he was expecting her and he had not responded. Although the issue with Marie had been bugging him, he also had been reluctant to let the woman in when he and Marie were not around. Marie looked from her friend’s face to his and immediately knew.Bugger. He had never been good enough at hiding things from her. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, a lips forming into a tight line. He ordered the driver to wind down the windows so they could talk with Sandra.“Hi Babes. I'm so sorry, I had no idea you were waiting out for me.” Marie said in a placating tone.“Babes. I get it, you're the wife of a billionaire now. But this is a bit much. I have been standing here for almost two hours. I have called you several times. I even called him!” Sandra said, pointing an accusing finger at Steven.Steven, who wasn

Before he could say a word, she started clearing the dishes.“Leave it. Come with me.”“No, Steven. You cooked, I want to clean.”“Marie, please. Don't fight me about everything. Just come with me.”“Okay.” She said, rinsing her hands, and following him.The elevator ride to Steven’s floor was silent. Steven looked angry but Marie wasn't sure why. Was it because Sandra had visited her here? She couldn't stop her best friend from visiting her and it wasn't fair that Steven wasn't even making an effort to be friends with her. It's not like their marriage had ended on hostile terms. The elevator opened and Steven stepped out of it, holding his hand open for her.“Thank you.” She said, taking his outstretched hand.He fetched a blanket from his room, and sat down on the floor before motioning for her to join him. Marie ran a hand over her belly, casting furtive glances at the TV and then him. She saw his jaw harden and then relax before he turned to the TV and turned on MasterChef Austral
