A Cue for Love chapter 331

When the first sunray woke Natalie up the next morning, she wondered why she still felt heavy-headed after one night of rest.

She guessed it must be because she had a low tolerance for alcohol. Despite knowing she could not hold her liquor, she still went overboard.

She grunted in discomfort and turned aside. When she opened her eyes, she saw Samuel, dressed casually in his grey pajama. The fabric hung loosely from his shoulder, showing his muscular and defined chest. He was watching her when she woke up, lying on his side with his head rested on his hand.

Natalie was stunned when she saw him.

The way he was looking at her was as if he was considering how he should savor his dessert after a scrumptious meal.

Natalie found herself at a loss for words.

She looked away, but Samuel grabbed her chin and turned her face toward him.

“Why can’t you look me in the eyes?” he asked.

“It’s not that I can’t,” she said, gazing at him. “I’m just not used to it.”

“Well, get used to it then.”

Natalie was thinking about how she should answer him when Samuel pulled his sleeping gown backward, showing more of his torso.

What is he doing? Natalie’s gaze trailed down from his shoulder to his chest, and then his abs. She could tell from his build that he worked out a lot. While she was wondering why he was showing her this, Samuel took her hand and placed it on his chest. The heat from his body radiated on her cold palm the moment they touched. Things suddenly became tense between the two of them, but Samuel was still able to command the situation. It turned out that he could be patient if he wanted to. He guided her hand along his body slowly. “Now, go down a little “S-Stop,” Natalie stuttered, her cheeks suddenly turning red and hot. “I don’t want—” “But I want to. A teasing smirk broke out on his lips when he saw signs of embarrassment on her face. His grip tightened as he led her downward, stopping at the deep grooves of his Apollo’s belt.

“W-What are you doing?” she stammered frantically. He did not move an inch. Natalie could feel his robust and strong muscles underneath her skin. It was obvious that he had the perfect body shape all men coveted. Natalie held her breath. She dared not think about what would come next. She knew he had run his lips over every inch of her body, yet he did not push for the last act. She could tell that he had restrained himself with all his might, but still, Natalie felt nervous thinking about what would happen if they stayed this way. Her heart fluttered in messy beats, but she was not the only one who was nervous. In fact, Samuel was even edgier as the tension intensified. He knew that he wanted her badly, but he reminded himself that she was still having a hangover. He reckoned that she would be too weak for any intense sports. Samuel curbed his impulses and did not bring things further. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled her hand away and straightened his gown. “I made some soup for you. It should help with your hangover. Do you want to have some?” Natalie nodded. She sat up and rested against a pillow on the bed as he passed her a thermos. She opened it and started taking small sips. The warm drink made her feel energized and well again. When she was finally done, Samuel bent over to wipe away the stain on her lips. “So, didn’t you say you were going to give me an explanation yesterday?” “Well, I came to know Christopher when I was trying to win the bid for the dragonblood fruit at the auction. He was the one who directed me to the Todds at Livingsfill,” she recounted. “So in a sense, I owe him one. That’s why I agreed to celebrate his birthday with him. I wanted to return this

favor.” She stopped and looked at him earnestly. She added, “I really didn’t know what he thought about me before that. I swear I don’t have any feelings for him.” Indeed, Natalie was not someone who would fall for a man easily, but when she did, she would never change her mind. Now that she explained herself, Samuel was confident that she was telling the truth. However, there were still things that he was apprehensive about. “Nat, you need to stay away from him,” he said severely. “It’s fine if his feelings for you are genuine, but I’m just afraid that he’s using you as bait against me. He knows how much you mean to me. So I’m sure he’s thinking of using you as a pawn.”
