The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 515 Kissing in Love Really Does Lift the Mood

Natalie's legs swung freely on either side of Marcus' waist as he held her face in both hands. His eyes were gently shut, fully absorbed and utterly intoxicated as he kissed her.

Natalie didn't close her eyes. She just watched the man in front of her, overcome with emotion he couldn't suppress.

When Marcus kissed her, the corners of his eyes would flush red. In the

beginning, his ears would turn red all the way to his neck. After a few more times, the redness had toned down somewhat.

Now, it was mostly just the corners of his eyes that turned pink. His fingertips would subconsciously stroke her cheeks as he held her face, and the gentle caress made Natalie feel a strange, inexplicable shiver deep inside.

As the kiss deepened, the atmosphere between them became saturated with unspoken desire. Natalie wrapped her arms around Marcus' neck, and her legs slowly curled around his waist.

Marcus froze for a moment, then held her even tighter. The longing they had carried from days apart was finally and fully satisfied in this one moment of closeness.

"Nat." His voice was low and hoarse, breath curling against her ear. "I missed you so much."

Natalie's delicate face was flushed red. Her hair was tousled, her lips soft and slightly swollen, and her beautiful eyes glistened with a misty haze. Tears shimmered at the corners, threatening to fall, making her look all the more fragile and lovable.

Marcus' Adam's apple bobbed as he stared, unable to resist kissing her again. Suddenly, a loud knocking came from outside the door. Natalie seemed to snap back to reality and gave him a little push.

"I forgot that Hector's still waiting for me!"

Marcus' breath was uneven, his devastatingly handsome features etched with clear frustration. But he said nothing, just gently kissed her on the forehead, reining himself in.

"Sorry, I lost control."

Natalie couldn't help but laugh. "You're a normal man. Aren't you worried all that restraint might be bad for you? Don't be shy. I'm a doctor, you know. I happen to know a thing or two about these."

He opened his mouth, then closed it again, completely at a loss.
