"There's someone watching, let's go back to our room." Natalie stood on tiptoe and whispered in Tobias' ear.
Tobias immediately swooped her up into his arms.
Natalie let out a small yelp of surprise as her feet left the ground. Then, she burst out in giggles, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Meanwhile, behind the pillar, Yuna balled her hands into tight fists.
She would never have guessed that even after such meticulous planning, she still failed to cause a rift in Tobias and Natalie's relationship.
She had obviously created an illusion of the two of them cheating on Natalie in the room. Why wasn't Natalie mad at all?
Natalie and Tobias were still as sweet as ever, and Tobias even carried Natalie away.
Yuna's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty.
She refused to give up this easily.
It was obvious that she was much better than Natalie in every aspect. Why wasn't Tobias interested in her at all?
Tobias put Natalie down on the bed and leaned down over her.
"Natalie." His thin lips moved gently as he uttered her name.
There was an indescribable tenderness as he savored her name in his mouth slowly.
Natalie lay on the mattress with her dark hair spread loose beneath her. She felt a tenderness spread out in her heart.
She hadn't been so intimate with Tobias for a long time.
Tobias ran his fingers through Natalie's hair, trailing down to hold her hand.
Their fingers interlaced.
Jolts of electricity spread from their joined hands and traveled across her body.
Natalie sighed in pleasure, her eyes twinkling at Tobias.
She recalled when she'd held Tobias' hand countless times in the ICU. It had been ice-cold, going from her palm to her heart.
Especially on the final day of her bet with Peter. His hands were almost freezing.
She had felt deep, deep despair when she clasped his hands in hers.
But now, his hands were warm and snug again.
The warmth of his hand sent a thrill along her arm, melting her heart.
The alluring smile on the corner of her lips made the fire inside Tobias grew fiercer.
He pinned her arms above her head.
Natalie followed his movements obediently.
Tobias pressed his lips to Natalie's impatiently.
Things started to get out of hand.
Although Tobias didn't want to have Natalie at this juncture, things didn't always go according to plan.
He could control everything about himself except for his most basic desires.
In the end, Tobias used all of his strength and willpower to break away from Natalie, but she stopped him.
She felt like she'd been in the cold for a long, long time, and now that she'd finally found some warmth, how could she bear to let Tobias go?
"Don't go," she pleaded, her voice wanting.
Tobias spoke hoarsely, "Natalie, I'm worried that your body won't be able to take it."
They hadn't been intimate for such a long time already. He was afraid that he would go too crazy if they made love now.
Natalie looked up at him, her eyes imploring. "If you can handle it, then I can."
Tobias narrowed his eyes.
"Natalie, you underestimate your husband. Of course I can take it."
"Then I don't have any problem with that either."
"Are you sure?"
She hummed in agreement, and her voice was filled with endless desire.
Tobias had basically already gotten a grasp on himself, but his self- control was shattered to pieces with Natalie's hum.
The sky grew dark, and moonlight shone onto their bed of tangled sheets and hot, entwined bodies.
Light shone in through the window the next morning.
Natalie's face was flushed.
She couldn't help recalling their steaming hot activity from the night before.
