Chapter 83 He Finally Admits
Natasha froze for a moment.
She blinked, puzzled. “Help? How exactly?”
Jared’s tall body pressed down against her. “Sleep with you.”
His lips leaned in close to her ear, his words slow and deliberate.
Natasha’s eyes widened in shock.
She couldn’t believe Jared had actually said that out loud.
It took her a moment to find her voice. “Mr. Rundell, are you joking?”
By calling him “Mr. Rundell,” Natasha was making it clear she wanted to keep things professional, drawing a line between them.
Jared’s eyes went dark and stormy as he stared at her. “I’m not joking.”
His large hand slipped inside her robe, caressing her fair and delicate skin.
He said, “Having trouble sleeping? Let me take care of that for you.”
Before Natasha could respond, his hand moved upward…
For a moment, Natasha’s mind blanked out.
She stared, eyes wide with shock.
“Mr. Rundell, you…” Before she could finish, he tilted her chin up and claimed her lips in a kiss.
Jared’s kiss was intense, almost hungry.
He barely lingered on her lips before parting them, his tongue seeking hers, tangling deeply in a heated exchange. Natasha’s breathing grew rapid, coming in short, quick bursts.
She didn’t push him away when he kissed her.
Honestly, she wanted more, maybe even a little addicted to it.
After all, she was a woman with desires.
But ever since she married Percy, she never got what she needed.
Even if it wasn’t for her hysteria, sometimes her whole body would ache with longing.
Plus, Jared was seriously tall and hot.
If she ignored the fact that he was her boss, just judging by his looks and build, he was a total catch.
Sleeping with him was definitely a good deal for her.
But the catch was that he was her boss.
Even if she really needed it, she couldn’t let it be him.
Natasha hurriedly pushed at his solid chest.
But he wouldn’t move an inch.
Jared kissed her with stubborn intensity, utterly absorbed in her.
It had been a while since he’d kissed her.
He missed her taste very much.
He hadn’t meant to touch her this soon.
He’d schemed so hard just to get her home, all under the pretense of the BC Project leak.
He didn’t want her to see what he really wanted from her, not yet.
But when he found out from the housekeeper that Natasha was planning to get a divorce, he was so thrilled he could barely contain himself.
Natasha’s breath was swept away by Jared, her lips and tongue completely claimed by his hungry kiss, lost in the heat of his touch.
Her lashes fluttered, unable to stay still.
Her heart raced, pounding in her chest.

“No, stop!” Natasha protested.
As soon as Jared let go of her lips and started kissing and nipping at her neck, Natasha quickly spoke up.
Jared paused, his movements halting for a moment.
He lifted his head, his gaze dark and intense as he locked eyes with her. “Why not? Don’t forget, you paid to sleep with me before, wanted to make me your escort, remember?
“Now I’m giving in and offering myself for free, and you still don’t want it?”
Natasha felt a flicker of temptation at Jared’s words.
She remembered how she’d been drugged before, begging him to take her, and even sent him a 30 grand dollars.
That much money might be nothing to him, but for her, it was a big deal.
She couldn’t just let that money go to waste.
At the very least, she should actually sleep with him. Otherwise, she’d totally be losing out.
Natasha thought, ‘But…’
She furrowed her brows, thinking it over. “You didn’t just have me move in so you could sleep with me, did you?”
She suddenly felt like she’d been tricked.
Natasha wondered, ‘So was all that talk about tracking down the mastermind behind the BC Project leak and protecting my safety just a cover?
‘Was getting me into bed what he really wanted all along?’
Jared just arched an eyebrow, not even trying to deny it.
He said, “I won’t lie, I’m absolutely craving you. So yeah, that’s part of it.”
“You!” Natasha was flustered and pissed, her eyes popping wide.
Natasha thought, ‘Just as I thought, he admitted it.
‘He’s just after my body.’
“Don’t tell me you don’t want it, too.” Jared’s eyes narrowed, locking onto her. “You and Percy are about to split, so I bet you haven’t gotten any in ages, right?”
‘If you weren’t so deprived, your condition wouldn’t keep flaring up, Jared thought.
Natasha was startled. “How did you know Percy and I are getting divorced?”
Jared’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “So you and Percy really are getting divorced?”
He’d only been testing the waters with that question.
He hadn’t expected her to turn it back on him.
‘So it’s true, Jared thought.
Natasha looked away, refusing to meet his eyes, instinctively dodging the question.
She said, “That’s my personal business!”
‘It has nothing to do with him, Natasha thought.
Jared tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her flush against him.
He drew her in so close, there wasn’t a hint of space left between them.
“Seriously, aren’t I both your boss and your man? Why are you still trying to keep things so separate with me?”
His gaze was full of understanding, as if he could read her like a book.
His lips hovered just above hers, ready to steal another kiss.
Natasha hurriedly pressed her hands against his chest as he leaned in, trying to push him away.
She said, “Please. I don’t want to…”
Jared’s face went rigid, tension tightening his features.
“Is it that you don’t want this at all, or is it just that you don’t want it with me?”
His dark eyes locked onto hers, his voice husky and rumbling from deep within his chest.
Jared thought, ‘Her body was practically begging for it.
‘She’s about to get divorced, so why does she keep turning me down again and again?’

Natasha turned her face away, couldn’t bring herself to look at him.
“I just want you to be my boss, okay? Let’s keep things strictly professional. If I ever made you think otherwise, I’m sorry
Jared’s heart twisted painfully.
His handsome, alluring features visibly fell, disappointment written all over his face.
He fixed his dark, searching gaze on her. “Is that really how you feel? Are you being honest with me?”
Natasha lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.
She knew that even if she divorced Percy, it would never happen between her and Jared.
If he weren’t her boss, just some regular guy, maybe they’d actually have a shot.
