Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Natalie paused for a brief moment before letting out a light laugh, “Am I not even allowed to have my own feelings now?”

Hamilton gazed at her eyes, which, although smiling, held no trace of merriment. His discomfort was palpable. He much preferred her genuine laughter, “I don’t like it. Smile more, will you?

With that, he released Natalie.

Her lips twitched slightly. “Alright.”

By the time they got back to the hotel, it was well past ten.

Natalie freshened up and flopped into bed, utterly spent.

Hamilton stood by the bedside and asked, “Tired?”

Without opening her eyes, Natalie murmured, “Exhausted.”

Hamilton loosened his tie, speaking leisurely, “Don’t rush to sleep just yet.”

Natalie opened her eyes to see him methodically undoing his shirt buttons. She frowned

slightly. “I’m really tired today, can we not?”

Hamilton’s gaze dropped as he tied his tie around her wrists. “What do you think, Ms. Jenkins?” Natalie stiffened.

Hamilton’s kiss descended upon her. Dominant, inescapable.

With her wrists bound, Natalie couldn’t even muster resistance.

He held her firmly in his embrace, an unmistakable imprisonment.

Waking up as the plane prepared to land, Natalie realized she was leaning on Hamilton’s shoulder.

“Sorry.”

As she attempted to sit up straight, Hamilton’s hand reached out to press her back down.

“Rest a bit more. Once we land, you can head straight home and sleep.”

Being fully awake and leaning on his shoulder felt awkward. Natalie shifted slightly, and
