Chapter 111 An Inch Away

Natalie lost her balance and stumbled.

Much to her dismay, she fell right into Samuel’s embrace.

The force caused Samuel to stagger backward and sit onto the toilet seat’s cover. Meanwhile, Natalie landed right onto his sturdy thighs.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Natalie’s heart pounded so fast as though it was going to shoot up and out of her mouth.

What the hell is wrong with him? Why did he have to open the door all of a sudden? What’s worse is that this position I’m in is just too embarrassing! I’m only an inch away from his family jewels!

“Don’t move. I’ll get up on my own,” Natalie ordered in a soft tone while biting back how flustered she felt.

Just as she was about to stand, Samuel’s arms wrapped around her slender waist and forced her to remain in that intimate position.

Unable to retaliate against his overwhelming strength, Natalie had no choice but to remain seated on his thighs while her face was inches away from his.

If things were not already bad enough, she could also sense his gradually hardening member jutting against her thigh.

Natalie’s trembling voice bellowed, “Y-You’re crossing the line, Samuel!”

“Crossing the line? You’re the one who threw yourself at me…”

A fierce expression flashed on Natalie’s bright red face. “N-Nonsense. I did no such thing!”

“So you’re saying that I’m the one who placed you on my thighs? That I forcefully pressed your body against mine in this provocative position?” Samuel taunted as his narrow gaze observed her.

Natalie could not argue with him face to face. Thus, she used the only excuse to escape that she could think of – She brought up her injury. “Your arm is touching my wound…”

Surprisingly, Samuel did not give in to her. “Since you’re awake, let’s continue our conversation about that childhood sweetheart of yours.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Oh, so you’re not going to tell me about this boy you grew up with?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Samuel did not get angry with Natalie for playing dumb. Instead, his lips curled into a sly smile.

In the next second, his arms tightened around her, pulling her closer to his body.

This action caused her bodily curves to press tautly against him with no gap in between. The two fit perfectly like a puzzle.

This hot and heavy intimacy was a foreign sensation for Natalie.

She had not experienced anything like this, except for that night from six years ago.

Natalie was now really scared.

“So, are you going to tell me about him?” Samuel asked again.

Natalie’s gaze lifted to meet his domineering and mischievous stare.

She frowned inwardly. That jerk is doing this on purpose! I can’t believe he is using this tension between us as a method to question me!

Unfortunately, Natalie could not take her chances in this cramped restroom.

If she were to continue resisting him, she worried he would go wild and take advantage of her without caring about the injury on her arm.

“Hmm?” The man’s patience was running thin.

Natalie lowered her head like a deflated balloon as she answered, “That guy is two years younger than me. We grew up together in the same neighborhood. He’s a righteous young man who only sees me as an elder sister, nothing more. Besides, I have a two sons…”

“What about you?”

“Well, what about me?”

Samuel went on. “What do you think of him?”

“I see him as my younger brother.” Natalie paused before getting straight to the point. “Trust me. If I harbored any romantic feelings for him, I would’ve become his girlfriend a long time ago instead of remaining as his elder sister all this while.”

Jerome was a perfect young man.

Ever since losing her virginity six years ago, Natalie felt she had no right to become Jerome’s life partner.

A smile tugged at Samuel’s lips now that he was finally satisfied with Natalie’s answer.

“What’s got you in such a good mood, Samuel?”

“I’m happy.” Samuel lovingly looked at Natalie and elaborated, “Because although you haven’t fallen for me, you also don’t have feelings for other men.”

Why would he say such a thing to me? Why would he act as if he’s deeply in love with me, like I’m the only woman he’ll ever have eyes for in his lifetime?

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, a series of eager knocks sounded from the ward’s door.

“Mommy, are you there? Clayton and I are here to pay you a visit! We’re coming in!”

Natalie cursed under her breath as she shot out of Samuel’s lap.

She mentally remarked, Great. Not one, but two of my kids have conveniently shown up when I’m stuck in this embarrassing position! Ugh!
