A Cue for Love Chapter 111 An Inch Away Natalie lost her balance and stumbled.
Much to her dismay, she fell right into Samuelâs embrace.
The force caused Samuel to stagger backward and sit onto the toilet seatâs cover. Meanwhile, Natalie landed right onto his sturdy thighs.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Natalieâs 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? Whatâs worse is that this position Iâm in is just too embarrassing! Iâm only an inch away from his family jewels!
âDonât move. Iâll get up on my own,â Natalie ordered in a soft tone while biting back how flustered she felt.
Just as she was about to stand, Samuelâs 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.
Natalieâs trembling voice bellowed, âY-Youâre crossing the line, Samuel!â
âCrossing the line? Youâre the one who threw yourself at meâ¦â
A fierce expression flashed on Natalieâs bright red face. âN-Nonsense. I did no such thing!â
âSo youâre saying that Iâm the one who placed you on my thighs? That I forcefully pressed your body against mine in this provocative position?â 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 â She brought up her injury. âYour arm is touching my woundâ¦â
Surprisingly, Samuel did not give in to her. âSince youâre awake, letâs continue our conversation about that childhood sweetheart of yours.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âOh, so youâre not going to tell me about this boy you grew up with?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
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.
âSo, are you going to tell me about him?â Samuel asked again.
Natalieâs gaze lifted to meet his domineering and mischievous stare.
She frowned inwardly. That jerk is doing this on purpose! I canât 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.
âHmm?â The manâs patience was running thin.
Natalie lowered her head like a deflated balloon as she answered, âThat guy is two years younger than me. We grew up together in the same neighborhood. Heâs a righteous young man who only sees me as an elder sister, nothing more. Besides, I have a two sonsâ¦â
âWhat about you?â
âWell, what about me?â
Samuel went on. âWhat do you think of him?â
âI see him as my younger brother.â Natalie paused before getting straight to the point. âTrust me. If I harbored any romantic feelings for him, I wouldâve become his girlfriend a long time ago instead of remaining as his elder sister all this while.â
Jerome was a perfect young man.
Ever since losing her virginity six years ago, Natalie felt she had no right to become Jeromeâs life partner.
A smile tugged at Samuelâs lips now that he was finally satisfied with Natalieâs answer.
âWhatâs got you in such a good mood, Samuel?â
âIâm happy.â Samuel lovingly looked at Natalie and elaborated, âBecause although you havenât fallen for me, you also donât have feelings for other men.â
Why would he say such a thing to me? Why would he act as if heâs deeply in love with me, like Iâm the only woman heâll ever have eyes for in his lifetime?
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, a series of eager knocks sounded from the wardâs door.
âMommy, are you there? Clayton and I are here to pay you a visit! Weâre coming in!â
Natalie cursed under her breath as she shot out of Samuelâs lap.
She mentally remarked, Great. Not one, but two of my kids have conveniently shown up when Iâm stuck in this embarrassing position! Ugh!
