Chapter 231

It was already one in the morning when Samuel got back home.

He had received a visit from the Loang‘s royal siblings to discuss the mining rights of the vein. After themeeting, 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 theentire banquet, while Kelly had been aggressive in her approach by continuously sending him sultrylooks.

Seeing as she was royalty, Samuel had maintained his bearing and didn‘t reject her outright.

He had merely gulped champagne down his throat with a deadpan expression throughout the entirebanquet, 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 livingroom.

He had told Gavin not to stay up late for him, since the elder was in his later years. He hadn‘t expectedGavin 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 didn‘t see Gavin there as he neared the living room, but a petite figure was lying on the couch withher eyes closed.

The soft light shone on her face, leaving long stripe shadows on her face from her dark lashes. At thatmoment, her countenance was not gorgeous, but the quiet and elegant vibe she gave out captivated

him, urging him to approach her.

He didn‘t 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 mostprecious gem in his life.

Samuel lowered his head the next second and kissed her tenderly.

Natalie wasn‘t asleep. She was so lost in her thoughts as she tried to figure out a plan that she didn‘teven 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 histongue inside, tasting her sweetness.

“Be good. I won‘t do anything else. I‘m just going to kiss you.”

After he uttered those words softly with his deep voice, he continued to kiss her more deeply withoutgiving 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 herheart 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 tocare for her kids while she was gone, she didn‘t put up any resistance and even opened her mouth widerfor 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 stareddazedly at him with desire glazing her hazel eyes.

Samuel almost went back on his words at her sensual look.

She‘s killing me with that look.

“Nat, you‘re killing me!” said Samuel as he felt a pulse throbbing in his temple,

I promised her that I wouldn‘t do anything she didn‘t 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. “Samuel, we‘ve been kissing forhalf an hour. That should be enough.”

He was stunned, then pecked her on her hands softly. “It has been that long?”

“Since you weren‘t sleeping, what were you thinking about? You were so focused that you didn‘t evennotice me coming back.” Samuel wrapped her small hands in his and toyed with them as he continued,“Nat, have you gotten into trouble?”
