Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 297: Guest In The City

Justin was taken aback; it was the first time she had been like this with him. After a moment, he kissed her back. The bodyguards, now accustomed to such moments, turned away, pretending to see nothing at all.

After a while, when they parted, both breathless, she slumped against his chest.

"Seems like I can’t disappoint you tonight," Justin said, holding her steady. "Hmm?"

There was no response from the drunken woman. Justin lowered his head to look at her. "Natalie?"

Still no response—she had fallen asleep. He chuckled softly in disbelief. "After tempting me, you dare to sleep?" he muttered, lifting her into his arms and carrying her inside the house.

The next morning, when Natalie woke up, it was late. She struggled to open her eyes, groaning slightly from a splitting headache.

She looked around and realized she was back home. Her clothes had been changed, but she had no memory of how. All she could recall was being at the party and drinking while upset with Justin.

"Good morning, Mrs. Hendrix," a familiar voice greeted as a man entered the room.

The moment she saw him, she froze in surprise. When did he return?

Seeing her stunned expression, Justin stood there with a serious look. "Don’t tell me, after taking advantage of me, you don’t recall what you did."

Natalie blinked a few times, trying to piece everything together. Her eyes widened in shock as bits and pieces of the previous night came rushing back—what she had said and done with him.

"...And you dare fall asleep after doing all that?" Justin asked, his tone teasing. "How are you going to make up for it?"

"What are you talking about?" Natalie asked, feigning nonchalance, too embarrassed to admit she had been demanding sex from him.

Justin moved closer, leaning down toward the bed. "Do you need a reminder?"

Natalie quickly slid off the bed, avoiding his gaze. "I need to visit the bathroom," she said hurriedly.

Justin didn’t stop her, chuckling softly. "Don’t worry. I plan to give you exactly what you’ve been so desperate for."
