Chapter 231
It was already one in the morning when Samuel got back home.
He had received a visit from the Loangâs royal siblings to discuss the mining rights of the vein. After the
meeting, he had arranged a welcome banquet for Prince Richard and Princess Kelly
The prince, Richard Sinclair, had tried to matchmake him with his sister, Kelly Sinclair, throughout the
entire banquet, while Kelly had been aggressive in her approach by continuously sending him sultry
looks.
Seeing as she was royalty, Samuel had maintained his bearing and didnât reject her outright.
He had merely gulped champagne down his throat with a deadpan expression throughout the entire
banquet, not wanting to give the royal siblings even a chance to misunderstand him.
Samuel was slightly sluggish from the alcohol by the time he got home.
After unlocking the door and passing the dark hallway, he saw a soft, orange glow coming from the living
room.
He had told Gavin not to stay up late for him, since the elder was in his later years. He hadnât expected
Gavin to disobey him and wait up for him even after midnight.
Samuel loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt as he slowly headed toward the living room
He didnât see Gavin there as he neared the living room, but a petite figure was lying on the couch with
her eyes closed.
The soft light shone on her face, leaving long stripe shadows on her face from her dark lashes. At that
moment, her countenance was not gorgeous, but the quiet and elegant vibe she gave out captivated
him, urging him to approach her.
He didnât care for the reason she was there.
He merely wanted to be closer to her.
He got down on one knee to get a closer look at her. There was mirth in his eyes as he admired the most
precious gem in his life.
Samuel lowered his head the next second and kissed her tenderly.
Natalie wasnât asleep. She was so lost in her thoughts as she tried to figure out a plan that she didnât
even notice Samuel had returned.
Feeling the silk of lips against hers, she snapped back from her deep thoughts.
Her lips had parted slightly from gasping with surprise. Seizing the opportunity, Samuel easily slipped his
tongue inside, tasting her sweetness.
âBe good. I wonât do anything else. Iâm just going to kiss you.â
After he uttered those words softly with his deep voice, he continued to kiss her more deeply without
giving her the time to respond, as though he was ravenous.
He knew she had constructed an invisible wall around her to protect herself, unwilling to open up her
heart easily. He was willing to wait, but his desire for her accumulated gradually every day that passed!
She knew it would be futile to break free from him. Also, remembering she needed help from Samuel to
care for her kids while she was gone, she didnât put up any resistance and even opened her mouth wider
for his entry.
Her concession encouraged Samuel.
He finally released her when she started having trouble getting air into her lungs.
Her long, dark hair fanned out across the couch. Her chest rose and fell at a quick pace as she stared
dazedly at him with desire glazing her hazel eyes.
Samuel almost went back on his words at her sensual look.
Sheâs killing me with that look.
âNat, youâre killing me!â said Samuel as he felt a pulse throbbing in his temple,
I promised her that I wouldnât do anything she didnât want, but she always turns me on so easily.
The urge to kiss her stirred within him.
Before his lips could touch hers, she covered his mouth with her hands. âSamuel, weâve been kissing for
half an hour. That should be enough.â
He was stunned, then pecked her on her hands softly. âIt has been that long?â
âSince you werenât sleeping, what were you thinking about? You were so focused that you didnât even
notice me coming back.â Samuel wrapped her small hands in his and toyed with them as he continued,
âNat, have you gotten into trouble?â
