Her lips were soft and plump with an extra hint of sweetness from the alcohol. He was fully captivated.
Natalie wasn’t aware that she had been kissed. She only knew that there was a cooling sensation on her lips that she liked very much. Subconsciously, she placed her arms around his neck and continued seeking that coolness.
Her behavior was like some sort of encouragement to Shane. He had lost his rationality and was purely driven by instinct.
After the kiss, he placed one hand behind her head and the other around her waist. Slowly, he laid her down on the sofa with his body pressing against hers.
They went all the way that night.
It wasn’t until dawn the next day, Shane woke up from his sleep.
He stood by the sofa and took a glance at the woman who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion. A wave of mixed emotions took over him.
Soon after, he reached out and grabbed his clothes from behind the sofa. He went back to his room, took out a blanket, and covered it on top of Natalie. Then he turned around and headed to the bathroom quietly.
After his shower, he went out of the bathroom while drying his hair. His phone that was on the coffee table kept vibrating.
He walked towards it and hung the towel around his neck. Jacqueline’s name appeared on the phone screen when he picked it up.
“Hello,” Shane answered the phone. His voice was husky and sexy, so much that it would send chills down one’s spine.
Jacqueline broke into tears. “Shane, where are you?”
Shane glanced over at Natalie who was fast asleep. He pursed his lips. “I’m at the office.”
Jacqueline quietened after listening to his reply. After a few seconds, she asked, “Why didn’t you come to the restaurant last night? I thought you said you would come and I was waiting. Why did you break your promise?”
Shane pinched his nose out of guilt and said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll make it up to you.”
“How are you going to make up to me? It was my birthday yesterday. Shane, you’re too much. Jackson and I kept calling you last night but you didn’t pick up the phone. Do you know how worried I was?” Jacqueline scolded angrily and hung up the phone.
