Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 99

Natalia only realized what was happening when his lips crashed against hers.

“Hamilton!”

They were at the entrance of a restaurant’s parking lot, for Pete’s sake. People were bustling all around them.

But Hamilton, he didn’t seem to care, not one lota, leaving her no room to push back. His kiss was fierce as if charged with a certain fury.

Natalia knew she had probably ticked him off tonight, but the last thing she wanted was to get hot and heavy in such a public place.

Her reluctance was palpable, and her struggle inevitable.

“Natalia, try fighting me one more time, just try!” Hamilton’s voice, tinged with anger, was a hiss in her ear.

She tensed up completely. “Not here,” she pleaded in a whisper.

Hamilton hadn’t really planned to take things any further. Once he was sure Ronin had seen them and had left, he scooped Natalia up and headed straight for the car.

It was only after they were in the car that Natalia allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief.

Hamilton loosened his tie and started the engine.

Back at the hotel, he pinned her against the door the moment they were inside. His kisses came down like a torrent, more intense than ever.

Natalia felt as though she might suffocate, but she didn’t resist him, not anymore. It was futile with him; resistance only made things worse.

She wrapped her arms around Hamilton’s neck and, standing on tiptoes, met his fervor.

Hamilton’s movements hesitated for a fraction of a second before he doubled down, invading

with even more intensity.

Clothes tore, and the air was thick with unspoken desires.

He ripped off her dress with effortless ease.

Feeling a chill, Natalia pressed closer to his body.

Hamilton chuckled. “What’s the hurry? Can’t wait?”

“I’m cold.”

Without any tenderness, Hamilton lifted her into his arms, his lips trailing down to her

collarbone with a mischievous bite.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Jenkins, I’ll warm you up soon enough.”
