Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 127

Natalie knew that Hamilton was not one to overshare. She didn’t press further, simply closing

her eyes.

Out of nowhere, Hamilton cupped her chin and planted a kiss on her lips. It was a kiss laced with longing, tender like none before.

Natalie’s brows furrowed ever so slightly. Before she could react, Hamilton had rolled on top of

her.

“Hamilton, I…”

“Shh, don’t move; we’re just kissing. But if you stir, it might not stop there,” Hamilton’s voice was husky, and his body pressed against her was all too intense.

Natalie immediately stilled.

Hamilton chuckled softly. “Are you really that scared of doing it with me?”

She averted her gaze. “I’m not feeling well.”

She knew all too well how demanding this man could be in bed. In her current state, she was definitely not up for it.

Hamilton wasn’t actually intent on taking it further. Even at his most beastly, he wouldn’t force a sick person.

After kissing her lips again, he finally got up and went into the bathroom.

When he reemerged a good half–hour later, he was refreshingly cool. He slid into bed, and only after warming up did he pull her close.

The next morning, they boarded the flight back to Silkwood City.

Once they landed, Hamilton gave her a look. “Where do you plan on staying?”

After a moment of silence, Natalie replied, “I was thinking of going back to my apartment.”

She half expected him to say more, but he remained silent.

An hour later, they stopped at her rented place. She muttered a thanks and moved to get out.

Hamilton glanced at her, then stepped out first with her suitcase in tow. He also had his own luggage.

Natalie’s mouth opened slightly as if to speak, but Hamilton cut in.

“You’re unwell; I can’t have a sick person shuttling back and forth.”
