Natalie's breathing paused for a second.
It turned out that this man was looking out for her.
As his shirt was wet with her tears, he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in his embrace.
However, Natalie had stopped crying, so she was embarrassed to be hugged by him again.
Men and women were different species. It was the middle of the night and they were not only sharing the same bed, but she was also in Tobias' arms. The atmosphere was ambiguous. "I, I'd better not," Natalie said awkwardly.
Tobias's tone was faint. "If you feel sad, just let me hold you. Tonight is a special case. I'll embrace you just this once, but there won't be the next time."
Natalie's eyelashes trembled in the darkness. After a while, she did not hesitate to ease herself into Tobias' arms again.
Tonight was a special night. She should just cherish every moment in this man's warm embrace. When she felt helpless and sad, someone was willing to hold her close. There was no reason for her to reject him.
Tobias, who had taken off his shirt, was radiating heat. Natalie felt a strange sensation coursing through her with his skin touching her skin in such an intimate way.
"Can you lower your face a little?" A moment later, Tobias suddenly said.
He seemed to be struggling to suppress something deep within him.
Natalie was stunned briefly and did not respond for a moment.
"Your mouth!" Tobias sounded like he couldn't breathe normally.
Only then did Natalie realize that her mouth was pressed on Tobias's chest.
She was flustered. She immediately turned her face away and leaned her head against Tobias' chest.
"I'm sorry." Natalie apologized.
She had inadvertently taken advantage of Tobias.
