The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 395

Nathalie bit her lip, dragging her gaze away as she helped him into the bathroom. She guided him onto the toilet seat and immediately turned to

leave.

But Lance grabbed her hand. “Am I supposed to take my own pants off?”

Nathalie stared at him in disbelief. “What else? You expect me to do it?”

‘Aren’t you staying to take care of me?”

Nathalie gave him a saccharine, entirely fake smile. “Would you like me to ust use the toilet for you while I’m at it?”

Lance’s lips curled into a smirk. “If you can manage that, sure.”

‘Jerk!”

She shook off his hand and marched out of the bathroom.

Watching her storm off, he called out, “Wait right outside the door! I’ll call you when I’m done.”

Silence was her only response.

The playful smirk faded from his face, replaced by a thoughtful frows as ne recalled her earlier behavior.

She was hit with a potent aphrodisiac, and a simple cold shower was enough to cure it?

Was there really nothing left in her system?

Did she not feel any residual discomfort?

Or was she just enduring it?

Could someone really suppress that kind of primal urge?

Chapter

Hearing him call out, Nathalie re–entered the bathroom to find him lear against the vanity, his hands freshly washed.

She slung his good arm over her shoulder, preparing to walk him out.

Without warning, he shifted his weight, wrapping one arm tightly aroun her waist. In one fluid motion, he lifted her off the ground and set her down on the bathroom vanity.

Nathalie gasped. “What are you doing?!”

Lance stepped between her legs, leaning in close. He stared deeply int her eyes. “I’m serious, Nathalie. Keep your distance from Freddy. I still haven’t been able to dig up what he was doing abroad, and the momen he returned to the country, he was targeted for assassination. He’s way too dangerous.”

Nathalie shoved at his chest. “I get it! Put me down!”

Lance let out a sharp grunt. “You’re pressing on my wound.”

She looked down and realized her right hand was resting squarely on hi bandage, where a fresh spot of crimson was already bleeding through.

Horrified, she quickly pulled her hand back. “I-”

Lance met her gaze. “Did you hear what I said?”

Nathalie turned her face away. “I heard you. Now back up. i want to get down.”

Lance slowly straightened up, his eyes lingering on the woman sitting inches away from him. Her features were delicate and stunning. Her long eyelashes fluttered nervously like butterfly wings.

Her full, rosy lips were pressed tightly together, unknowingly igniting a fierce heat in his chest.

Instead of backing away, his voice dropped to a husky whisper. “Are you really okay after being drugged?”

“I’m fine, she answered far too quickly.

Lance’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “You don’t have to force yourself to ho in. If you have needs…”

Nathalie glared at him. “And what? Let you handle it?”

Lance froze for a split second before clearing his throat. “Even though signed the divorce papers, considering the years we spent as husban and wife, I’d be willing to-”

‘In your dreams.”

Nathalie let out a merciless scoff. “Move.”
