Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 71

Natalia struggled instinctively, her body tensing against her own volition. The recent turmoil had left her somewhat resistant.

But Hamilton gave her no chance to resist. He knew her body all too well. His fingers ignited a fire with their touch.

She tried to dodge, but he only became more insistent.

His long legs took the opportunity to press firmly between hers.

The bright mirrors of the elevator reflected their intimacy.

Natalia opened her eyes to a hazy glimpse before closing them again.

Hamilton chuckled, shamelessly amused. “Ms. Jenkins, why so pliable?”

In the bedroom, Hamilton was always a rogue.

Each encounter was peppered with words that flushed Natalia’s cheeks.

But today, she felt only shame left. She didn’t want this.

Yet her body betrayed her, responding against her will.

Hamilton’s mood brightened with her response.

Natalia was naturally supple. She must have been a dancer. In bed, she accommodated him in every pose.

It was no surprise to him that two men had fought over her that day. A woman like her was indeed irresistible. But seeing another man’s marks on her neck unsettled him. His woman was branded by someone else.

Hamilton’s gaze darkened, “Ms. Jenkins, how exactly did you seduce Victor today?”

Hearing the name Victor snapped Natalia back to reality. It took her a moment to grasp the malice in his words. “Mr. Fowler believes I actually seduced him?”

Hamilton arched an eyebrow. He knew Natalia would never seduce Victor. But he was irked. He was looking for trouble because of his irritation.

“You didn’t seduce him?” Hamilton gripped her chin tightly, distorting her face with his force.

Natalia managed a bitter smile, suddenly unwilling to endure his humiliation. Her lips curled coldly. “Then let’s say I did.”

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening. “Say that again.”

Instead, she suddenly embraced his neck and bit his chin softly. Not too hard, but enough to sting. And to tickle more than to hurt. “That’s how I seduced.”

If he sought discomfort, she would oblige.

Hamilton’s face turned to stone. He knew her words couldn’t be true, but his anger was lit.
