Chapter 24 By This Standard

Nathael took a step back, instinctively wrapping his large hand around her slender waist.

However, due to their height difference and his inability to anticipate her reaction, they both stumbled and fell to the ground.

Nathael protected her without saying a word, and Maggie fell onto him, unaware of any pain.

The faint, pleasant scent of cedar was different from Joseph’s refined cologne. It smelled as fresh and clean as the air after a mountain rain. In this moment, Maggie was half–kneeling on his leg, her hands still wrapped around his neck.

Their brief kiss left a lingering sensation.

Maggie blinked her clear, round eyes and parted her rosy lips slightly. She whispered, “Make it up to me.

She had never initiated a kiss before. Although she had grown up with Joseph, the only person she had ever been close to was Nathael.

In this moment, Maggie’s face flushed and her heart pounded wildly. She looked like a ripe apple.

Nathael lowered his gaze, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. After concealing the desire in his eyes, he chuckled. “Ms. Adam, I’m not that desperate.”

Maggie pouted, not very pleased.

This was her first time taking the initiative.

“Mr. Harris, you won’t get a girlfriend if you behave like this.”

Nathael narrowed his eyes and laughed. “You sure have a lot of concerns.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Maggie huffed and got up with a cold face. “Whatever.”

Sensing her intention, Nathael’s hand on her waist tightened, not allowing her to move an inch.

Maggie could feel how hot and strong his palm was. At the same time, his firm grip trapped her against him. Right now, she was kneeling on him, and through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel his muscular thighs.

Nathael’s pupils were as dark as an unfathomable abyss.

“Maggie, since you want to play, I’ll play with you!”

His deep, husky voice echoed in her ear like a warm current flowing through her veins. Maggie involuntarily tensed up, and before she could comprehend his words, he flipped her over and pressed her under him, his cool lips forcefully meeting hers.

Maggie was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she could feel his palm protecting the back of her head.

Then, an overwhelming and fery kiss ensued, leaving her body stiff. She never thought that a light peck would turn into
