Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Hamilton looked into Natalia’s eyes. “Did you?”

Natalia met his gaze and let out a soft chuckle. “Aren’t you single?”

Hamilton’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.

Then, Natalia continued. “If you’re single, how could there be any talk of stealing Ms. Schafer’s man?”

Hamilton huffed. “You better always be so self–assured.”

Natalia’s lips tightened, but she said no more. Only she knew that she was anything but self–assured.

Although Hamilton claimed to be single to the world, his heart belonged to Eveleen.

He took her for a stroll in the stable and picked out a spirited horse that looked like a handful.

“Sure you don’t want to ride?” Hamilton asked her.

Natalia shook her head. She had actually learned horseback riding.

Riding, fencing, golf–Hamilton had taught her all of those. But she was still in the throes of her monthly cycle, and riding a horse would be too uncomfortable.

“I’ll take you with me.”

Natalia frowned, about to voice her refusal, when Hamilton swept her up onto the horse.

With a smooth motion, he mounted behind her, squeezed with his long legs, and the horse bolted forward.

“Hamilton!” Natalia cried out in alarm.

The speed was overwhelming, and even though she had learned to ride, this was intense.

Hamilton wrapped an arm around her waist and let out a low chuckle, his warm breath tickling her ear, “What’s there to be scared of? Trust your man.”

For a moment, Natalia’s heart lost its rhythm. She couldn’t tell if it was from fear or his words. The wind, her heartbeat, and his breathing–all jumbled together, unsettling her mind.

Hamilton rode two laps around the field before coming to a stop.

The moment Natalia dismounted, her legs almost gave out.

Hamilton caught her with a steady hand. Then, he laughed lightly, his tone teasingly improper. “Legs giving out already? Makes it seem like I did something to you on horseback.”

A flush of embarrassment crossed Natalia’s face. Before she could speak, Hamilton’s phone rang. He glanced at it and answered right in front of Natalia.
