A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003 Continue Tolerating

“Are you really dumb, or are you just playing dumb?” Samuel probed, his voice even hoarser than before.

“I’m not playing dumb!” Natalie snapped back. I genuinely want to be physically close to him. I’m not putting on an act, nor do I have ulterior motives!

Samuel pursed his lips as he turned on the tap and washed off the soap on his hands.

After that, he spun around and met Natalie’s gaze, his eyes roaming over her pretty face. “Since you don’t get it, I’ll have to teach you till you do.”

“What?” Natalie blurted out, a curious twinkle in her eye.

Alas, instead of getting an answer, she felt Samuel grabbing her hips and lifting her onto the marble countertop effortlessly, making her seem even taller than him.

With them staring eye to eye and him positioned between her legs, it was hard not to feel a stir of desires from the intimacy.

Realizing what Samuel was up to, Natalie’s cheeks flushed as she gently pushed against his chest. “Samuel, you still have dishes to wash!”

“And who distracted me from washing them?” he whispered, still staring into her clear bright eyes.

“I don’t think I distracted you…” Natalie explained. “I only hugged your waist and not your arms. Don’t you pin the blame on me!”

Samuel chuckled. “But you’ve already distracted me when you hugged me.”

“How so?”

“Just take my word for it,” he said without thinking. “Even though I’ve been hiding behind Xander York’s mask this whole time, I was always afraid that you’d see right through me with your sharp-wittedness. That’s why I’ve been holding myself back…”

As the seconds ticked by with their faces still pressed tightly together, Natalie could feel herself gradually running out of breath.

Heated kiss aside, she also realized that Samuel had begun to unbutton her shirt with his wandering hand. “Don’t…”

“Don’t what?” Samuel teased as he nibbled her lip and cracked a devilish smile.

“Don’t do it here. D-Don’t do it at all,” Natalie moaned, her heart racing and her body heating up. It was a brand new experience, and she was instinctively resisting it.

Upon seeing the glazed look in her eyes, Samuel grinned even wider at her.

“It’s just you and me here. There’s no one else around,” he coaxed. “Besides, this is my territory, Mrs. Bowers. You’re not leaving my sight tonight without my permission.”

Just like that, the couple spent a most passionate and blissful night under the beautiful glow of the moon.
