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

time, the deepest part of his pupils concealed his wildest desire.
Maggie’s throat was dry and her cheeks were burning. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction, or perhaps she did not know how to face this, so she obediently closed her eves.
Yet, as soon as she closed her eyes, Maggie regretted it.
Without her sight, all her senses became incredibly sensitive.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She could clearly feel her tongue entwined with his and her body becoming incredibly sensitive under his warm fingertips.
Maggie’s body went limp, her mind in a daze.
“Maggie! Open the door! Open the door, I’ll leave as soon as I see you!” Joseph knocked again, but it sounded more like he was banging on the door.
The annoying noise brought Maggie back to her senses.
She blinked, her tearful eyes filled with desire. In this moment, she looked irresistible.
than
Maggie spoke softly and tried to push him away, but she found that her voice was hoarse.
“Don’t move.” Nathael suddenly stopped and buried his face in her neck.
Maggie swallowed as if she had sensed something. She dared not move at all.
“Maggie, is there a man in there? I will call the police and break down this door!” Joseph never thought that the most considerate and gentle woman would be so difficult.
Nathael Maggie murmured.
“Hmm.” Nathael lowered his gaze and hummed in response.
Maggie lacked experience in handling such situations. She worried that any action on her part would only aggravate the situation, so she remained still and helplessly asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
Nathael pursed his thin lips and looked up at her.
Maggie could clearly see the veins on his forehead and the thin layer of sweat, which made her feel guilty. as if she had done something wrong. She felt like someone who had flirted with him and then ran away.
After a while, Nathael stood up and said in a deep voice, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Oh…” Maggie was also a bit unsure of what to do, so she quickly got up from the ground.
At that moment, she heard knocking on the door again. It sounded as if the person outside would not give up until Maggie opened the door.
Maggie hesitated for a moment and looked at him uncertainly.
Nathael curled his thin lips and smirked, “Next time, you should compensate me with a meal.
His face was stern, but as he laughed, the corners of his narrow eyes lifted slightly. The added touch of mischief made him look unrestrained and wild.
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds. She understood what he was trying to say, but the swelling and burning sensation on her lips became more pronounced. Her cheeks, which had just cooled down a bit, flushed again, so she hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
She understood that Nathael would not confront Joseph again.
He accepted her compensation and unexpectedly accepted the corresponding conditions.
However, what a ridiculous condition it was!
Maggie’s legs were still weak and her head was dizzy and muddled. But the most obvious was her mouth. The intense swelling and burning sensation made her doubt if her mouth was her own.
Ignoring the clamor of Joseph outside the door, Nathael walked to the floor–to–ceiling window and put a cigarette to his mouth.
“Mr. Harris.
Nathacl took his time answering and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
Only after the pale smoke spiraled up did he speak in a deep voice, ‘Cause some trouble for Soleil Group.”
Alex immediately understood. “Understood.”
After ending the call, Nathael stood in front of the balcony window smoking, suppressing his desire like a receding tide. After finishing a cigarette, he turned and entered the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Joseph, who was about to contact the property management to unlock the door, received an unexpected call from Ronald.
Joseph, where are you? Soleil Group has been suddenly attacked. You need to handle it immediately.”
Joseph was momentarily stunned. Then, he sensed that something was wrong. However, he did not have the luxury of time to ponder and swiftly turned to leave.
Most companies couldn’t withstand scrutiny as they would inevitably encounter some issues.
Yet, only some problems were fatal, while others were merely formalities.
However, this time, they had not received any prior warning. Hence, Joseph knew this was an ominous sign.
Before getting into the car, Joseph glanced once more in the direction of Maggie’s house. He then took out his phone and sent her a message: Think about whether you want to be with me. Come find me when vou’ve made your decision!
