Chapter 843 Painful Delight
Samuel came out of his study a moment later and saw Justin and Natalie in conversation.
“What are you two chatting about?” Samuel asked with a frown.
Justin’s expression appeared unnatural while Natalie replied smoothly, “He’s asking me for advice on treating his weak kidney.”
Justin silently stewed in injustice, yet he could only swallow his pride to conceal their secret. I don’t have weak kidneys; I just have a stupid big mouth!
Since Samuel and Justin had more things to discuss regarding their work, Natalie headed off to the nursery to check on the five children.
They had not seen her in some time and were naturally all over her when she arrived.
Natalie felt a twinge of regret for not coming to see them sooner. Consequently, she stayed with them in the nursery until they fell asleep.
“Good night, Mommy!”
“Night night, Mommy!”
“Good night, Mommy!”
A chorus of childish voices wished her good night, and Natalie’s heart swelled with an indescribable sense of happiness.
When Natalie returned to her bedroom, she saw Samuel standing on the balcony with a lit cigarette between his slender fingers.
She deliberately crept toward him quietly like a kitten, tip-toeing forward until she was right behind him. Then, she wrapped her hands around his waist and hugged him from behind.
As Natalie relished the comforting sensation of his broad and powerful back, she buried her face into it, taking in the faint minty scent of his body.
“Nat,” Samuel called out huskily.
She initially cringed when he first called her by this pet name. Yet, at that moment, she found the name extremely seductive when uttered by his lips.
Her lips involuntarily curved into a smile when she thought of his preparations for a surprise proposal.
Still, I promised Justin I wouldn’t say a word. I’ll keep his secret and pretend I don’t know a thing.
Meanwhile, Samuel’s large hand closed over hers and moved it away from his waist.
Natalie stared at her hand blankly, unsure of what Samuel planned to do. Amid her confusion, Samuel’s lips met hers in a kiss without warning.
She could not help but moan.
He was smoking earlier, and the taste of his cigarette lingered in his mouth.
Suddenly, his kiss inexplicably grew intense and urgent. It felt as if he was desperately trying to devour her through the kiss.
Gradually, Natalie surrendered herself to him and slowly moved back into the room.
Eventually, she had nowhere left to go and fell back-first into the large bed in the room.
Thankfully, the bed was soft enough to cushion Natalie’s fall. Samuel caged her in with his body a second after she lay down.
The contrast between the soft bed against her back and Samuel’s warm, solid chest against her front was almost too much for her to bear. She felt as though electricity was coursing through her veins.
“S-Samuel?” Natalie uttered while staring at her man with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Samuel thought her eyes were so beautiful they could blind him.
Without sparing her a chance to catch her breath, Samuel seized her lips in a kiss, swallowing the words on the tip of Natalie’s tongue.
It was a passionate and, at times, rough night, and Natalie wondered if it was a result of their prolonged abstinence.
Samuel behaved as if he wanted to consume her entire being.
Still, Natalie loved every second of their wild night.
The next day, Natalie woke up with sore muscles all over. She turned around to give Samuel a hug, yet he was nowhere to be seen.
After washing up, she headed downstairs. When she saw Gavin, she asked, “Has Samuel left the house, Gavin?”
The elderly man smiled warmly at her and replied, “Yes, he did! He left early in the morning.”
Natalie nodded in acknowledgment. If Samuel isn’t busy with work, perhaps he rushed off to decorate the proposal venue?
