Rafael’s POVI couldn't believe my ears when Natalie said yes and agreed to give it a try just once, so she could make her decision. I felt grateful, nonetheless.She bit her lower lip, waiting for my next move. I enjoyed the intensity of her gaze as she anticipated my touch. I knew then that the chemistry between us was undeniable.“Take off your clothes!” I started, in a command tone.She stared at me blankly without giving any reaction. All I saw on her face was confusion.“Take them off, Natalie!” I ordered again, firmly, with a more insistent tone this time.The flush of red on her cheeks heightened her allure, making her seem even more attractive, as if inviting possession. She averted her gaze from mine as she slowly removed her shirt.“Look me in the eye and keep taking off the rest,” I murmured softly, attempting to ease her evident embarrassment.She bit her lip and placed her hands on her trousers, unbuttoning them as she locked eyes with me. I felt my body tense with desir
Natalie's POV My heart pounded inside my chest. 'Is he going to torture me?' I wondered. Despite feeling a bit anxious, curiosity drove me to allow him to guide me and take control. In the end, I was certain he would never hurt me, at least not physically, as he had already hurt me emotionally before. My hands were tied above my head with his tie, and my eyes were covered, leaving me completely blinded. His husky voice sent shivers down my spine as he whispered, “Blindness will boost your sensation to my touch.” “Okay, but untie my hands. I want to feel you,” I mumbled with anticipation. “No touching. You’re not allowed to touch me,” he said, his voice a little harsh. I sensed he was in a sadistic mood. So, anxiety and expectation surged within me. I wouldn’t lie and say that I was sturdy. I was anxious but yearning for the experiment as well. I was lying on the sofa, my hands tied above my head and my eyes completely blinded. Despite my inability to see, I could sense his presen
Rafael’s POV In the dim light of the corridors, we sneaked downstairs. I was walking ahead while holding Natalie's hand as she followed behind me. “What if we found Laura in the kitchen?” she whispered. “So what? I don't care!” I whispered back. She hit me on my shoulder and mumbled through gritted teeth, "But I do!” She insisted that we shouldn’t let any of the domestic staff see us sneaking after midnight towards the kitchen. The house was immersed in silence and darkness, indicating that all of its residents were asleep. Once we barged into the kitchen, we broke to laughter. She promptly lifted her hand to cover my mouth and placed her other hand’s finger on her cherry lips, and hissed, “Shsh” I sucked her fingers on my lips. I was addicted to every small touch from her. She pushed me and yelled without sound, just moving her lips, “Hoolagine.” I mocked her and said loudly, “Laur…” She covered my mouth with both of her hands. I chuckled and mumbled from beneath them, “Why
Natalie’s POV I slowly tried to open my eyelids as a strong light struck them. I closed them again and stretched my hand to touch Rafael’s body, who insisted on sleeping in my room last night. But his place was empty despite his scent lingering in the air. I opened my eyes and sat up, only to see Rosy, one of the domestic staff. As soon as she saw me wake up, she smiled softly and said, “Good morning, Miss Natalie.” It was strange to wake up and find one of the domestic staff in my room. It had never happened before. They can't just walk into my personal space so casually without asking. It seemed like she realized what I was thinking, so she smiled again and clarified, “Mr. Merrin asked me to bring your breakfast to your room. I hope I didn’t bother you, though.” I scanned the room with my eyes, making sure there was nothing suspicious or odd left from last night. I sighed in relief when everything seemed normal. I smiled, cleared my throat, and said in a clumsy tone, “Okay, thank
Natalie’s POVAs I expected, all the gazes of the security guards were on the car. Its shiny color easily caught their attention. I was glad that I was already late for work and that all the employees were now in their offices.After I parked the car, I headed straight to Rafael’s office inside the building, hoping to catch him before he got immersed in the day's endless meetings. I tightened the scarf around my neck as a group of employees joined me in the elevator. I greeted them with a small smile, and they returned the greeting, continuing their conversation."Is Rafael in his office?" I asked the secretary once I stood before her desk.She smiled broadly and replied, "Yes, Miss Natalie. And he’s waiting for you.”I raised my eyebrows slightly in astonishment, then narrowed my eyes at the realization that he knew I would come to him. So, he was doing all this on purpose.Suddenly, a harsh voice from the speaker on the secretary's desk rang out loudly, saying, "Hasn't Miss Natalie
Natalie’s POVI raised my chin defiantly and retorted, “So, how do you plan to satisfy your sadistic urges?”He didn’t reply, but I knew the answer. He was addicted to what he had been doing all these years. My body stiffened as I grappled with a dilemma: should I let go of this futile relationship?He felt my body tense, so he tapped on my shoulders and said in a sad tone, “I can't guarantee your safety if we get in this.”I closed my eyes to hide my despair, and when I opened them again I inquired, “Then, why did you pay that car for me? Why did you care to send breakfast to my room? Is that compensation for using me? Should be grateful for that?”He exclaimed in shock, “No, for God's sake, Natalie. I did that because I want to. Because our relationship will never be over. You're my family. I’ll take care of you and shower you with care even if you refused”I stared deeply into his eyes with a challenge and said with a confirm tone, “But I want to sign that contract.”He was taken a
Natalie's POV Before Rafael could reply, knocks on the door made him frown. He glanced at his wristwatch and roared, "Come in." His secretary entered and closed the door behind her. A look of trouble on her face, she cleared her throat and stammered, "Sir, I know you ordered me not to interrupt you or let anyone through. But Miss Debbie is here, and she insisted on seeing you now. Even though I told her that you’re in a close meeting with Miss Natalie. I could barely hold her back from barging in." “What did she want?” he asked. Before the secretary could reply, the office door swung open, and Debbie walked in. She stared at each one of us with a broad smile, then stepped towards me and hugged me, saying, “Hey, Natalie. Long time no see. I missed you.” Then she held my hands and added, “We should make sisters day together one day.” She looked at Rafael and added, “Your sister will be my sister once we marry.” "What’s wrong? Why are you here?" Rafael ignored her statement and as
Natalie's POV "You're unbelievable!" I exclaimed amidst tears and laughter. Our laughter echoed to the folks beside us. It was incredible how my friends and I transformed into reservoirs of jokes whenever we gathered. Even in the darkest moments of our lives, we couldn't resist bursting into laughter when we were together. "You didn't see how Fello acted when the man caught her red-handed," Rebecca recounted amidst her chuckles, struggling to keep her tears at bay. The waiter brought over our orders. Rebecca and Fello opted for wine, while I chose orange juice. "Come on, Natalie. We haven't seen each other for a while now. One glass wouldn't do any harm," Fello urged, attempting to persuade me to join them in drinking. I shook my head firmly and replied, "No." Rebecca gulped her glass in one shot and asked with curiosity shining in her green eyes, "So, tell us about the Bugatti. Did it come from that Frenchman?" Fello sighed in a dreamy tone, "Oh, how romantic! Is he really th
