Natalia was stunned for a moment, but finally she came back to her senses.
She could not believe she could not resist the temptation of this man and have such a kiss with him, even in such a provocative and dangerous position!
She let out a cry in alarm and tried to get up.
But the chair Archie had been sitting was close enough to his desk.
She jumped to her feet and her waist bumped into the corner of the desk. She cried in pain and fell back to his arms.
Archie's face also changed drastically.
He caught her and hurriedly reached over to rub her waist that just got hit.
"Why you are so careless? It must hurt so much! Let me take a look!"
His palm then rested on her waist with a thin layer of fabric between them, and she could feel the scorching heat from his palm. In an instant, her body stiffened.
She then held the hand he had reached over to check her waist, and she shook her head.
Tears had welled up in her already misty eyes, but she insisted in pain, "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all."
Archie knitted his arrow-shaped eyebrows.
He did not say any more words. Instead, he just sullenly held her up in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.
She was frightened. She struggled but to no avail, and then she grabbed him by his clothes and blurted, "What are you doing, Archie? Put me down!"
The servants in the villa were all watching them downstairs!
But Archie ignored her, passed through the corridor in the eyes of the servants and walked back to their bedroom.
The moment she was placed on the bed, she jumped to her feet again.
Archie did not force her though. He cast a cold glance at her and turned over to take a tube of cream from a drawer.
"Lift your clothes up!"
He said coldly.
But she just held the hem of her clothes, her face like two ripe tomatoes. She kept her eyes down and did not even dare to look at him.
"I'll do it myself."
She said, and reached over for the tube.
Then she heard his giggles. He avoided her hand, and lifted her clothes before she could realize what happened.
"AHHH! What are you doing!"
She screamed but immediately her hands were caught by the man and lifted up above her head. Her entire body was flipped around by the man on the bed and her tender legs were also locked by his knees.
Her voice of resistance was dull in the pillow and became more like just whimpering.
His expression was cold when he saw the red marks on her otherwise snow white skin.
It was just two minutes, and the bruises were already forming.
Expressionless, he open the cap of the tube single-handedly, squeezed some cream to his hand and then pressed his hand on her wound.
"Ouch ... Ouch..."
He could hear her indistinct screams.
Then he scold in a cold voice, "So it hurts after all! When are you being so careless then? Just how old are you? Didn't you see the desk?"
She felt so aggrieved.
It was he who took advantage of her and kissed her. And after she was injured, he even scolded her!
Since she didn't answer him, he said again, "Cat got your tongue?"
She then turned her head to the side and yelled angrily, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Her red face and teary eyes made her look like a fiery lion cub whose fangs were pulled off.
Archie could not help but laugh.
His somewhat coarse fingers felt her tender skin. It was as smooth as silk, or as milk, and he felt reluctant to put away his hand.
And his breath turned somewhat heavy.
Deep down in his body, the heat that had just been suppressed not long ago seemed to be rising again.
She also realized something gradually. She could feel the ambiguity and danger pulsing from his fingers and she was immediately in a panic.
She said hurriedly, "Are you done? Let go of me!"
This time, Archie did not insist.
