Mr. CEO(138)

I nod, knowing exactly why. Katrina's blast of information may have taken care of Peter and Samuel, but there will be friends, allies, and others affected who will be looking for revenge. It's going to be dangerous, but I think it's worth it. “Okay. Well, you said we've got what, three hundred thousand or so?”

“Something like that. More importantly, we've got connections.”

“Then let's tag a quarter million for building our future, and the rest we can use for taking the time to figure out what that future is going to be,” I tell her, taking her hand. “As long as that future is next to you and our daughter, I'll be happy.”

“Daughter?” Katrina asks, giving me a little smile. “So you want a daughter and not a son?”

“Oh, I'm sure we'll have a son together eventually, but I've got a feeling,” I tell her, and then kiss her softly. “Just a feeling, that's all.”

“Careful, unless you’re ready for what your lips are starting,” Katrina purrs, then lays her head on my shoulder.

I kiss her and pull her closer. “Any ideas for the honeymoon?”

Katrina thinks for a moment, then nods. “Catalina Island, off the coast of California. I read about there when I was training... I've always wanted to go.”

“That sounds perfect to me. Then we can plan the rest of our future.”

Katrina hums and snuggles against me. “Our future. I like the sound of that.”
