Chapter 961 Reining In The Beast âGive me a reason,â Natalie said, biting her red lips as she kept her gaze locked on the shiny silver mask. âWhy are you so nice to me? You helped me over and over again and you were even more worried about me than my five-year assistant was when I was injured.â
Natalie stared at him, but Samuel evaded her eyes, shifting his gaze toward her chest.
At the end of the day, he was still a manâand more so when he was around Natalie.
Her presence was like a fatal spell cast on him, but all this went unnoticed by Natalie herself because she was caught up in rage.
She did not realize that her chest was pumping up and down because her heart was palpitating in anger, making her cleavage all the more obvious.
Since her clothes were wet, Samuel could almost see through everything. Her whole body was temptingly laid bare before him.
He swallowed hard as he gazed at her, trying to curb the beast in him that was eager to be unleashed.
At first, Natalie thought Samuel kept quiet because it was a difficult question for him to answer, yet when she trailed his gaze and realized he was eyeing her breast, she covered herself with her hands, glaring at him.
âWhat are you looking at?â
âSorry, I didnât mean it,â he replied, his voice sexily low. âI justâI just canât control myself.â
âYou havenât answered my question.â Natalie was adamant about obtaining a reply as she glowered at him. âWhat do you want?
Whatâs your motive?â
Samuel knew just how doubtful Natalie was of the people around her, so if he was unable to make her let her guard down around him, she would never fully trust him.
âCanât you tell?â he asked in return.
âW-What do you mean?â Natalie blurted out, tilting her head to the side.
âDo you need me to tell you the reason why a man treats a woman well?â Samuel replied, closing in on her as he spoke slowly.
âThe fire might have scalded me, but Iâm still biologically functional. I believe what I said is already clear enough, Natalie Nichols.
Stop pretending as if you do not understand. This answer is already straightforward enough.â
As Samuel closed in on her, his cold vibe enveloped her along with the moistness of the rainwater that soaked her clothing.
Intuitively, Natalie backed off, but there was not much room for retreat when she felt the car door blocking her spine from the back.
Natalie was a strong-headed woman. Never had she ever let another man have the upper hand over her, but she knew she was no match for Samuel. Even so, she was still unwilling to be controlled by him.
Since she could not escape from the back, she pushed against him to make room for herself. Her hands rested on his sturdy and heaty chest as she retorted, âWell, I wonât act like I donât understand your meaning.â
A sneer curved on her lips as she continued, âThank you for letting me know about your physical ability, but Iâm not interested.â
Samuel did not seem perturbed at all by her response. In fact, it was exactly what he expected from her, but there was no way he was going to let things end there now that it had gotten to this stage.
âSo youâre rejecting me not because of anything else, but because of the scar on my face?â Samuel grunted.
Natalie raised her brows and said firmly, âIt doesnât matter to me if a person is blind, lame, or deformed as long as heâs the person I love, but if I donât like the person, then whatever about him has nothing to do with me.â
Although Samuel had lied to her and let her down, he was still the only person that had ever walked into her heart.
As for Xander, he might be her friend, but he would never replace Samuelâs place in her heart.
âXander, I know youâve helped me countless times. I want to stay friends with you, so please stop pushing things. Stop wasting time on me. I still have something I need to attend to, so could you drop me somewhere along this road? I thinkââ
Screech! Before Natalie could finish, the Bentley took an abrupt turn on the road, swaying her right into the manâs arms.
